Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield wellhead heating, in particular to a pumping rod heating device applied to an oilfield wellhead. Background Art
[0002] At present, the total geological reserves of heavy oil in my country are about 1.2 billion cubic meters, and its annual output accounts for 9% of the total annual output of onshore crude oil. Therefore, how to effectively exploit heavy oil has become a hot topic in the field of oil field exploitation. The colloid and asphalt content of heavy oil is high, so the viscosity of heavy oil is high and the fluidity is poor, which seriously affects the recovery rate of heavy oil. However, the viscosity of heavy oil is very sensitive to temperature. Heating heavy oil can effectively reduce the viscosity of heavy oil. Therefore, in order to improve the recovery rate of heavy oil, it is generally necessary to heat the pumping rod of the pumping unit in heavy oil exploitation to reduce the viscosity of the heavy oil during the lifting process out of the well.
[0003] At present, most of the oilfield pumping processes use hot water (or hot oil) circulation heating extraction methods, that is, the heated liquid enters from the middle casing and the oil pipe, and then returns to the ground from the middle casing and the outer casing. This heating method has low thermal efficiency and is not suitable for the extraction of extra-heavy oil and super-heavy oil. Another commonly used method is to use a deep well oil electromagnetic heating device, which consists of a ground power supply, a downhole electromagnetic heater, an oil pipe, and a casing. The structure of the heater is an oil pipe, an insulating layer, a copper coil, and an insulating material from the inside to the outside. The working principle is to form a magnetic field after supplying power to the copper coil, and form an eddy current on the oil pipe to generate heat to heat the crude oil. In order to ensure the fluidity of crude oil in the ground pipeline and avoid the precipitation of wax, the on-site wellbore heating temperature can usually reach above 55°C, while the near-surface formation temperature is less than 20°C. The heat of the heating device is transferred to the surface of the sucker rod through heat conduction, thermal radiation, natural convection, etc. Under some well conditions, the heat lost from the wellbore to the formation is greater than the heat absorbed by the temperature rise of the fluid in the wellbore, resulting in huge energy waste.
[0004] In view of this, research and improvement are carried out on the existing problems, and a sucker rod heating device applied to the wellhead of an oil field is provided to solve the current problems. The purpose is to achieve the purpose of solving the problems and improving the practical value through this technology. Summary of the invention

[0023] Specifically, the transmission sleeve box 120, the protective sleeve seat 210, the rotating sleeve seat 220 and the rotating bearing sliding ring 130 are sleeved on the outside of the sucker rod to perform the sucker rod heating work.
[0024] In this embodiment, a plurality of rotor stack rings 230 are stacked and arranged on the inner side of the rotating sleeve 220 , and the outer periphery of the rotor stack rings 230 abuts against the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 220 , and the electromagnetic assembly 300 is located between adjacent rotor stack rings 230 .
[0025] In this embodiment, a casing 311 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the adjustment seat 310 . The casing 311 is a metal or ceramic component used for rapid heat dissipation of the electromagnet 330 and the electromagnetic control board 340 .
[0026] In this embodiment, an electric slip ring is provided on the inner side of the transfer slip ring 130, and the input end of the electric slip ring is connected to the current generator point fixed on the surface of the heating stand 100. An electrode ring group connected to the electromagnetic control board 340 is provided on the surface of the sleeve at the bottom end of the rotating sleeve seat 220.
[0027] Specifically, the swivel bearing slip ring 130 and the bottom sleeve of the swivel sleeve seat 220 are used to realize the point connection of the electromagnetic assembly 300 in the moving state.
[0028] In this embodiment, the movable slide 320 is slidably mounted on the surface of the adjustment seat 310 and a screw for locking the position of the movable slide 320 is provided on the surface of the adjustment seat 310.

[0029] Specifically, the movable slide 320 can be used to slide and adjust the position of the electromagnet 330 to adapt to sucker rods of different diameters.
[0030] In this embodiment, the electromagnet 330 includes an electromagnetic coil and an iron core structure located inside the electromagnetic coil, and the electromagnet 330 is an electromagnet structure.
[0031] Furthermore, the electromagnetic control board 340 is a PCB board structure, and an electromagnetic relay, an electromagnetic lock, and an electromagnetic valve are provided on the surface of the electromagnetic control board 340. The electromagnetic control board 340 adjusts the strength of the magnetic field by controlling the current passing into the electromagnet 330, thereby controlling the working state of the electromagnet 330.
[0032] Specifically, the electromagnetic control board 340 generates an alternating current to make the electromagnet 330 generate a changing magnetic field, and the rotating sleeve 220 rotates a plurality of electromagnetic assemblies 300 to perform a rotational motion to form an efficient heating effect on the surface of the sucker rod.
[0033] The working principle and use process of the present invention: When the oilfield wellhead sucker rod heating device is used, the sucker rod is vertically penetrated by the transmission sleeve box 120, the motion drive assembly 200 and the top of the transfer bearing slip ring 130 and sent into the pumping well. The arrangement height of the motion drive assembly 200 can be adjusted by the heating stand 100, and the power supply of the electromagnetic assembly 300 is turned on. Under the drive of the drive motor 110, the rotating sleeve seat 220, the rotor stack ring 230 and the electromagnetic assembly 300 are driven by the transmission gear ring 221 to rotate inside the protective sleeve seat 210, and are sleeved on the outer periphery of the sucker rod for orbital motion. Synchronously, the electromagnetic control board 340 inputs an alternating current value into the electromagnet 330. The electromagnet 330 is composed of a wire wound into a circle or a spiral. This wire forms a structure called a coil. When current passes through the coil of the electromagnet, the coil generates a magnetic field. According to Ampere's loop theorem, the magnetic field formed by the current will form a closed magnetic flux path. The strength of the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet is proportional to the current passing through the coil, that is, the larger the current, the stronger the magnetic field. Due to the relative movement of the sucker rod surface in the rotating counter-field of the magnetic field, when the sucker rod, as a conductor, is in a changing magnetic field, an induced current will be generated inside the conductor according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. This induced current will produce resistance loss inside the conductor, causing the conductor to heat up, thereby heating the sucker rod body without the need for heat conduction, thereby improving energy utilization. In some cases, moving magnetic field heating can respond to low-frequency magnetic fields. Compared with eddy current heating, the alternating magnetic field current is smaller and safer, and a continuous and stable constant temperature and low temperature are maintained on the surface of the sucker rod, which is more suitable for wellbore heating effects.
