Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of welding technology and relates to a welding method for butt welding of carbon steel continuous pipe to dissimilar metal 20CrMo tool cylinder. Background Technology

[0002] Coiled tubing (CT), also known as flexible tubing, serpentine tubing, or coiled tubing, is a type of high-strength, highly ductile continuous welded steel pipe produced using special micro-alloy materials and unique manufacturing processes. A single pipe can reach tens of thousands of meters in length. The finished product is transported and delivered on a drum. It is mainly used in oil and gas field well workover, logging, drilling, completion, and oil and gas transportation operations.

[0003] There are two existing methods for gas lift operations using coiled tubing: one involves injecting gas through the annulus between the coiled tubing and the production tubing to lift the production fluid from the coiled tubing to the surface; the other involves injecting gas through the coiled tubing to lift the production fluid from the annulus between the coiled tubing and the production tubing to the surface. Both methods involve running the coiled tubing below the hydrostatic level in the well, requiring multiple runs and single-stage gas lifts, which suffer from long operation times, high operating costs, and increased coiled tubing fatigue. Multi-stage gas lift technology, on the other hand, involves designing and welding gas lift tools at multiple locations on a single coiled tubing reel for gas lift operations. By welding and fixing the gas lift tools in sections, the "coiled tubing + tool" integrated product can be directly run into the well for application, enabling multi-stage gas lift operations in a single run-in. This solves many problems associated with current single-stage gas lift operations, such as long operation times and high wellhead pressure.

[0004] When delivering coiled tubing products to customers, there should be no circumferential welds in the middle of the entire coil. This is because during the use of coiled tubing, it must withstand the harsh tests of tensile, compressive, bending, and corrosive environments, which places extremely stringent requirements on the welds. Conventional welding methods are difficult to meet these requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a welding method for connecting carbon steel continuous tubing to a dissimilar metal 20CrMo tool barrel, which solves the problems of existing technologies such as long operation time, high wellhead pressure, and high processing and manufacturing difficulty in single-stage gas lift operations, and the inability of conventional welding methods to meet the requirements.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is a welding method for butt welding of carbon steel continuous pipe to a dissimilar metal 20CrMo tool cylinder, which is implemented according to the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Anneal the tool holder;

[0008] Step 2: Straighten, cut, and fix the continuous tube;

[0009] Step 3: Clean and bevel the inner and outer surfaces of the rim;

[0010] Step 4: Perform pipe end assembly and positioning welding;

[0011] Step 5: Clamp the cooling block and insulation cotton;

[0012] Step 6, welding;

[0013] Step 7, weld treatment.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are that the method of this invention can pre-set multiple gas lift tool positions according to the well conditions and weld them in place, which can provide oilfield customers with an integrated product of "coiled tubing + tools", improve the original coiled tubing gas lift operation process in oilfields, and enable the entire coiled tubing to be lowered into the well at one time, realize segmented gas lift at the designed position of the coiled tubing, reduce wellhead pressure, increase fluid discharge, and reduce the construction cost of gas lift operation.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 In the implementation of the welding method of the present invention, the continuous tube 1 and the tool cylinder 2 are connected end to end in sequence. The material of the continuous tube 1 is CT80 grade carbon steel, and the material of the tool cylinder 2 is dissimilar metal 20CrMo. The weld requirements at the joint of the continuous tube 1 and the tool cylinder 2 are quite demanding, and conventional welding methods are difficult to meet the requirements. Therefore, the welding method of the present invention is required.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 The welding method of the carbon steel continuous tube to the dissimilar metal 20CrMo tool cylinder of the present invention mainly includes the following steps: annealing the tool cylinder 2, straightening the continuous tube 1 at the predetermined welding position, cutting at the predetermined position, grinding and beveling the tube end, assembling and positioning welding, water cooling of the continuous tube end and heat preservation of the tool cylinder end, welding, grinding of the outer weld, radiographic inspection, and delivery to the customer after passing the inspection. Specifically, the method is implemented according to the following steps:

[0029] Step 1: Anneal the tool cylinder 2;

[0030] Before welding, the tool tube 2 made of 20CrMo material is annealed to reduce the material strength of the tool tube 2 so that it matches the strength of the continuous tube 1 made of CT80 material.

[0031] Step 2: Straighten, cut, and fix the continuous tube 1;

[0032] First, use straightening equipment to straighten the continuous tube 1 (oil pipe) within a 3-meter range at the predetermined pipe end. After straightening, the straightness B of the continuous tube 1 within 1.5m should be less than 2mm. Then, use pipe cutting equipment to cut the continuous tube 1.

[0033] Step 3: Clean and bevel the inner and outer surfaces of the rim;

[0034] First, use an internal grinder and an angle grinder to clean the oil stains within 15mm of the inner surface and 25mm of the outer surface of the joint of the continuous tube 1 and the tool cylinder 2 until the tube ends of the continuous tube 1 and the tool cylinder 2 are exposed with a metallic luster; the internal grinder uses an 80-100 mesh internal grinder head and the angle grinder uses a 120-150 mesh angle grinder disc.

[0035] Then, a mechanical beveling machine is used to bevele the joint ends of the continuous pipe 1 and the tool cylinder 2 respectively, and the beveling angle of the processed pipe is 37°.

[0036] Step 4: Perform pipe end assembly and positioning welding;

[0037] Clamp the continuous pipe 1 end and the tool cylinder 2 end to be welded on the welding assembly stand, adjust the positions of the two opposite ends to make the pipe ends aligned and the assembly gap 2.2-2.5mm, and use a ruler and level to measure in the vertical and horizontal directions of the pipe ends to ensure that the continuous pipe 1 and tool cylinder 2 are aligned without misalignment, and position and weld at the 3, 9 and 12 o'clock positions of the weld seam respectively.

[0038] Step 5: Clamp the cooling block and insulation cotton;

[0039] At one end of the continuous pipe 1 that needs to be welded, a water-cooled copper block is clamped 10-15mm away from the welding bevel; at one end of the tool cylinder 2 that needs to be welded, a heat-insulating cotton is clamped 10-15mm away from the welding bevel.

[0040] Step 6, welding;

[0042] Then, a two-layer, multi-segment welding method is adopted, with a root pass welding current of 65A and a cover pass welding current of 80A. The tool cylinder 2 is kept warm for 5 minutes.

[0043] Then, use a wire brush to clean the spaces between the layers until the metallic luster is exposed;

[0044] Step 7, weld treatment;

[0045] After completing the cover welding, remove the water-cooled copper block. First, use an 80-100 grit elastic grinding disc for rough grinding, and then use a 120-150 grit elastic grinding disc for fine grinding. Grind the weld seam until it is flush with the base material. The grinding direction is parallel to the axial direction of the pipe body.
