Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil extraction, and more specifically to a wellhead small-flow associated gas-water bag type booster pump. Background Art

[0002] Petroleum is a non-renewable fossil fuel resource. In the process of its exploitation, a large amount of gaseous byproducts will inevitably be produced - wellhead associated gas, commonly known as wellhead gas. The main valuable and usable component of wellhead gas is methane (CH4). The volume of wellhead gas in different regions varies greatly, but the gas composition is basically the same, all containing saturated water, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, light oil, sludge and other impurities and corrosive and toxic components to varying degrees.

[0003] In the past, due to backward technological level, it was impossible to thoroughly treat impurities and corrosive and toxic components in the wellhead gas, resulting in the inability to recycle and utilize the wellhead gas. Most of the wellhead gas was vented or burned, causing serious environmental pollution and a large amount of energy waste.

[0004] Now, with the rapid development of science and technology, especially new materials, new processes and new equipment, a series of new technologies have been gradually introduced into wellhead gas treatment.

[0005] For oil wells with large wellhead gas production, especially specialized gas wells, the wellhead gas recovery system has received sufficient attention from relevant departments and enterprises and institutions because of its sufficient development and utilization value. Its recovery and utilization technology has been developed rapidly and has basically matured so far. The mature recovery system process is: wellhead gas, pretreatment, desulfurization, deacidification, filtration, separation, pressure regulation, metering, low-pressure boosting, mixed hydrocarbon recovery, dehydrogenation, light hydrocarbon storage and transportation, high-pressure boosting, and high-pressure dehydration. After a series of treatments, the wellhead gas becomes a clean energy, which can be made into natural gas product pipelines for transportation and sale, can be used to fill CNG vehicles, and can also be used for gas engines to convert into electricity for use or sale. It has a wide range of uses.

[0006] For oil wells with low wellhead gas production, because their gas production is too small and they do not have enough development and utilization value, they have not received enough attention from relevant departments and enterprises and institutions, and their recycling technology has basically not been improved and developed. Small-volume oilfield associated gas is still stuck in the past treatment method of direct discharge or burning, but this method pollutes the environment and wastes energy, and has been gradually banned or eliminated. At present, the safer, more environmentally friendly and more economical way to treat this small-volume wellhead gas is to directly pressurize the wellhead associated gas and input it into the crude oil pipeline without investing in complex gas processing equipment, and then collect it together with the crude oil to the gathering station for unified treatment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the present invention. In addition, the forms of the various structures recorded in the following embodiments are only examples. The wellhead small-flow associated gas-water bag type booster pump involved in the present invention is not limited to the various structures recorded in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a wellhead small-flow associated gas-water bag type booster pump, comprising a base 1, a water tank 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a water pump 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a plurality of support frames 4 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a pump body 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame 4, a water inlet mechanism 6 for water inlet is arranged inside the pump body 5, and a connecting mechanism 7 for water control is arranged at the upper end of the pump body 5.

[0017] What needs to be specially explained in this embodiment is that: by providing a connecting mechanism 7 and a water inlet mechanism 6, the present invention adopts a pump body 5 pressurization structure, and even if the pump body 5 is broken, it will not cause the explosion of the associated gas at the wellhead; secondly, the pump body 5 is not afraid of impurities such as water, particulate matter, and sludge in the associated gas, and will not have the wear, blockage, and stagnation problems of piston-type mechanical pumping. Thirdly, the pump body 5 is a rubber product, which is corrosion-resistant and is not afraid of corrosive gases in the associated gas, especially hydrogen sulfide, which is highly corrosive to metals. Finally, the equipment has a high degree of automation, and the filling and draining of the pump body 5 are fully automatically controlled, and it starts and stops automatically, without manual operation, and is easy to maintain.

[0018] Reference Figure 3 The water inlet mechanism 6 includes a water inlet groove 601 opened inside the pump body 5, the lower end of the pump body 5 is connected with a water inlet pipe 602, one end of the water inlet pipe 602 is connected with the water inlet groove 601, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 602 passes through the water pump 3 and the water tank 2 in sequence, the pump body 5 is installed with a sewage pipe 603, two partition plates 605 are fixedly installed inside the water inlet groove 601, two air guide pipes 605 are fixed on the side wall of the pump body 5, and an air outlet pipe 606 is fixed on the other side wall of the pump body 5.

[0019] It should be particularly noted in this embodiment that: by providing the water inlet mechanism 6, it is possible to discharge the excess gas inside the pump body 5, and facilitate the subsequent re-entry of the associated gas into the air chamber from the pressure-reducing air inlet.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 The pump body 5 is composed of a cylinder and two hemispheres. The pump body 5 is a 600mm diameter diaphragm air pressure tank adapted to the pump body 5. The water inlet pipe 602 is located between the water pump 3 and the pump body 5 and is provided with a one-way valve and a solenoid valve.

[0021] It should be particularly noted in this embodiment that the wellhead gas is pressurized by filling and draining water from the pump body 5 .

[0022] Reference Figure 3 The partition plate 604 divides the interior of the water inlet trough 601 into two air chambers and one water chamber. The upper end of the water inlet pipe 602 is connected to the water chamber, and the upper end of the sewage pipe 603 is connected to the water chamber. A stop valve is provided on the outer wall of the sewage pipe 603, and the water outlet end of the sewage pipe 603 is connected to the sewage outlet. An electromagnetic valve and a one-way valve are provided on the outer wall of one of the air guide pipes 605, and a stop valve and a one-way valve are provided on the outer wall of the other air guide pipe 605. The air inlet ends of the two air guide pipes 605 are connected with associated gas.

[0023] What needs to be specially explained in this embodiment is that: when the gas inside the air chamber is emptied, the pump body 5 will swell due to the filling of air, and the pressure of the air chamber will reach 2.5 MPa. At this time, the associated gas is discharged from the pressurized air outlet of the device. After the sensor detects that the gas at the air outlet is exhausted, the pump body 5 is deflated from the air deflation port. At this time, the pressure of the air chamber is very low, and the associated gas will re-enter the air chamber from the pressure-reducing air inlet.

[0024] Reference Figure 4 The upper end of the pump body 5 is connected to a return pipe 701, and the other end of the return pipe 701 is connected to the water tank.

[0025] It should be particularly noted in this embodiment that: by providing the return pipe 701, excess water in the water chamber can be injected into the water tank, so as to facilitate better pressurization.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 A solenoid valve is arranged inside the return pipe 701, and the water inlet end of the water tank 2 is connected with an antifreeze pipe.

[0027] It should be particularly noted in this embodiment that: by providing antifreeze liquid, the water inside the water tank 2 can be prevented from freezing, so that the water inside the water tank 2 can be used more easily.

[0028] Working principle of the present invention: A pump press is installed at the air inlet of the pump body 5. The accumulated water and oil in the associated gas are discharged from the lower outlet of the device, and the wellhead gas is pressurized by filling and draining the pump body 5. First of all, this pressurization method is very safe, although the associated gas is a flammable gas and has the risk of explosion. Finally, the equipment has a high degree of automation, and the filling and draining of the pump body 5 are fully automatically controlled, automatically started and stopped, without manual operation, and easy maintenance.
