The use of multiple sections in series can improve the delivery head of multiphase flow well fluid in shale oil wells. The single screw conveying pump includes an upper joint 401 and a lower joint 410, which are connected to a housing 403. The upper joint 401 and the lower joint 410 are respectively provided with bearing sleeves 402. The bearing sleeves 402 are supported on both ends of the transmission shaft 407 through bearings. A movable screw 408 is provided on the outside of the middle section of the transmission shaft 407, and a spiral blade 409 is provided on the outside of the movable screw 408. An adjustment sleeve 405 is provided on the outside of the upper end of the transmission shaft 407.

A spiral ring groove is provided on the inner wall of the static screw sleeve 406 with a rotation direction opposite to that of the spiral blade 409. The movable screw 408 and the spiral blade 409 are located inside the static screw sleeve 406. The movable screw 408 is the main flow-through component of the device. Under the action of the power drive system, it plays the role of increasing the energy and pressure of the shale oil multiphase flow.
[0066] The upper joint 401 of the first-section single-unit screw pump is bolted to the pressure head 5. The lower joint 410 of the first-section single-unit screw pump is bolted to the upper joint 401 of the second-section single-unit screw pump. The drive shafts 407 of the two adjacent pumps are connected by a splined sleeve 411.

The lower end of the lower joint 410 is bolted to a protective cap 416.
[0067] The shaft diameter d of the movable screw 408 is determined by the following steps:
[0068] Step S1, obtaining the multiphase flow liquid density ρ, design flow rate Q, head H and speed n;
[0069] Step S2: Calculate the power N of the moving screw shaft C :
[0070]
[0071] Where: N is the initial value of power;
[0072] N C =1.2N (2)
[0073] Where: 1.2 is the safety factor;
[0074] Step S3: Calculate the torque M of the moving screw shaft n :
[0075]
[0076] Step S4, calculate the shaft diameter d of the movable screw:
[0077]
[0078] Where: [τ] is the allowable shear stress, which is determined by the material of the movable screw shaft. When the movable screw shaft is made of Monel K500, the allowable shear stress [τ] is 700×10 5 N / m 2 , the moving screw shaft diameter d = 0.02379m, the moving screw shaft diameter d = 24mm, and the preferred length L = 330mm.
[0079] The spiral blade 409 has a positive spiral direction, a number of heads, and a three-dimensional spiral shape. Its characteristic equation is expressed as follows:
[0080] X(t)=rcos(t);
[0081] Y(t)=rsin(t);
[0082] Z(t)=Pt / 2π. (5)
[0083] Where t is the parameter value, the starting value of the helix is t = 0, and the ending value is t = 12π; r is the radius of the helix; P is the lead of the helix; X(t), Y(t), and Z(t) are the expressions of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis in the three-dimensional coordinate system, respectively.
[0084] For the vertical screw conveying pump used for the casing with a diameter of Φ1 = 115 mm, r = 16 mm and P = 55 mm are preferred; the spiral blade thickness σ = 1.5 mm, and the outer diameter of the spiral blade 409 is D = 2.5d = 60 mm; the front and back surfaces of the spiral blade 409 are coated with Teflon coating to prevent surface scaling from affecting the conveying performance; in order to broaden the stable displacement operating range of the vertical screw conveying pump 4 and improve the pumping efficiency, the spiral rise angle ψ is in the range of 15° to 20°.
[0085] The number of spiral ring grooves of the static screw sleeve 406 is the same as that of the spiral blade 409. The cross-sectional shape of the spiral groove is trapezoidal, and the tooth angle β is 10°-15°. The preferred width of the spiral ring groove is S w =5mm, spiral groove depth S h =9mm, preferably the effective length L1 of the static screw sleeve 406 is =408mm.
[0086] The maximum outer diameter D1 and the nominal inner diameter d1 of the static screw sleeve 406 can be determined by the following steps:
[0087] Step T1: Obtain the shale oil well casing diameter Φ1 = 115 mm. To ensure that the device has a certain passability, the maximum projected diameter Φ2 of the vertical screw pump 4 is ≤ 112 mm.
[0088] Step T2: Considering the size of the submersible cable and the fixture, the design can be 387 series, that is, the maximum outer diameter D1 of the static screw sleeve 406 is 89 mm;
[0089] Step T3, preferably the gap c between the movable screw 408 and the static screw sleeve 406 is 0.2 mm, the outer diameter D of the spiral blade of the movable screw 408 is 60 mm, and the nominal diameter d1 of the static screw sleeve 406 is 60.4 mm.
[0090] The spiral blades 409 on the moving screw 408 and the spiral ring grooves of the static screw sleeve 406 together form a flow channel for the multiphase flow medium. Driven by the permanent magnet synchronous submersible motor 2, the spiral blades 409 rotate against their own spiral direction to form a pumping pressure for conveying the multiphase flow medium.
[0091] A method for controlling the operation of a spiral multiphase flow device for shale oil wells is described. The method is divided into an initial operation control method and a mid-to-late production operation control method. Generally speaking, in the initial production period, the goal is to keep the dynamic liquid level of the spiral multiphase flow device within an optimal fluctuation range. In the mid-to-late production period, frequency and nozzle parameter adjustments are combined to optimize the operating efficiency of the spiral multiphase flow device. Specifically, the method includes the following steps:
[0092] Step R1: Obtain the daily fluid production Q of the shale oil downhole pump 自 , Q 自 1.5 times of the daily discharge volume Q of the screw conveying multiphase flow device in the initial stage of production 实 .
[0093] Step R2: Obtain the hydraulic characteristic curve of the spiral conveying multiphase flow device and determine the daily liquid production Q 实 The corresponding operating frequency f. Usually, the device is started at a low frequency of 35Hz, and the adjustment step is 1 to 2Hz, and the adjustment frequency is 1 time / 2 minutes, gradually increasing to the initial target frequency f.
[0094] Step R3: After the preset electric pump well is running stably, the dynamic liquid level H of the current spiral multiphase flow device is calculated by the downhole multi-parameter sensor. i ,include:

[0098] Step R3.2: Collect the casing pressure data P 套 , Multi-parameter sensor collects the suction port pressure P 吸 and the depth H1 at the pump inlet, calculate the dynamic liquid level H i ;

[0100] Where: H1 is the depth of the pump suction port; P 吸 is the suction port pressure; P 套 is the indication of the casing pressure acquisition unit; ρ 混 is the density of shale oil well fluid; g is the acceleration due to gravity.
[0101] Step R4: Preset the optimal dynamic liquid level range H according to the well conditions min ~H max , generally 300m-500m; adjust the operating frequency f of the spiral conveying multiphase flow device so that H min ≤H i ≤H max ,at this time,
[0102] If H i >H max , then reduce the operating frequency f through the frequency conversion control system, with Δf as the frequency adjustment step, Δf is usually 2Hz, and run for 1h every time it is reduced by 2Hz; after the dynamic liquid level is stable, calculate the depth H at the pump suction port i , wait for H min ≤H i ≤H max When , determine the target frequency f1 and run at the target frequency f1;
[0103] If H i <H min , then the operating frequency f is increased by the frequency conversion control system, with Δf as the frequency adjustment step, Δf is also 2Hz, and the operation is carried out for 1h every time the 2Hz is increased; after the dynamic liquid level is stable, the depth H at the pump suction port is calculated i , wait for H min ≤H i ≤H max When the target frequency f2 is determined, the liquid level range H is moved at the target frequency f min ~Hmax2 run.
[0104] Step R5, dynamic liquid level H i Keep in range H min ~H max After that, take n days as a statistical period, adjust the stride frequency once, and repeat steps R3 and R4.
[0105] The initial production capacity of shale oil wells is large, the dynamic liquid level is high, and the oil content is low. The above steps are the operation control mode established in the early stage of the screw conveying multiphase flow device to achieve rapid water reduction and early oil and gas discovery. The operation control flow chart of the initial production is as follows: Figure 6 shown.

[0111] Step R6.2: Select n days as a statistical period and calculate the bottom hole pressure drop rate P d ,

[0113] Where, P n is the bottom flow pressure of the well on the nth day; P1 is the bottom flow pressure of the well on the 1st day.
[0114] Step R7: According to the reservoir productivity forecast, set the optimal threshold value P of the bottom hole flow pressure drop rate max , and adjust the nozzle diameter D 油嘴 and the operating frequency f of the submersible motor, so that 0.8P max ≤P d ≤1.2P max .
[0115] If P d >5P max At this time, the pressure drops quickly and intermittent flow is likely to occur. In this case, the nozzle diameter D is lowered. 油嘴 To adjust the pump displacement, set the nozzle adjustment step ΔD 油嘴 , decrease by 1mm every 2 hours, and calculate the pressure drop rate P dynamically in real time d , up to 0.8P max ≤P d ≤1.2P max .

[0117] If P d <0.8P max , the pressure drop is slow, the daily liquid production is low, and the production capacity is affected. The pump displacement is adjusted by increasing the operating frequency f, with Δf as the frequency adjustment step. Δf is also 2Hz. Every time it increases 2Hz, it runs for 1h, and the flow pressure drop rate P is dynamically calculated in real time. d , up to 0.8P max ≤P d ≤1.2P max .
