[0029] According to the calculation of washing the well once every 5 days: 10m³×80 yuan×365 days÷5 days=58,400 yuan

[0030] Using the pipeline heating method:

[0031] The rated power of the pipeline heater is 30KW·h, and the electricity cost is 0.5 yuan per degree, so the annual electricity cost of each well is about 130,000 yuan;

[0032] 30kw·h×0.5 yuan / degree×24h×365=131,400 yuan

[0033] After using the present application, the well washing time can be prolonged, and the well is washed once every 1 to 3 months, so the annual well washing cost of each well can be saved by about 50,000 yuan.

[0034] In summary, the application realizes automatic sealing and pulse type dosing of wellhead according to pressure difference of up and down reciprocating movement of the polished rod, has simple operation and low production cost, can not only quickly reduce wellhead back pressure, but also reduce environmental pollution risk and improve work efficiency of on-site staff.

[0035] The above technical features constitute embodiments of the application, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be added or reduced according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.
