TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil field sampling, in particular to a multifunctional sampler for oil field. BACKGROUND
[0002] The information disclosed in the background of the present application is only intended to increase the understanding of the overall background of the present application, and should not be necessarily regarded as acknowledging or implying in any form that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0003] When sampling ordinary oil-water wells and super-high-temperature steam injection wells, the sampler is suspended by a steel wire cable on a winch and lowered to a predetermined position in the well to obtain a downhole liquid sample. Currently used samplers mainly include hammering type, clock control type, electronic type, lifting and hanging type, release of bullet gas push type, and bumping type. These control methods have certain drawbacks.
[0004] Hammering type: using a heavy hammer inside the blowout plug on the wellhead blowout device, sliding down along the steel wire cable connected to the sampler to the top of the sampler, and hitting the controller to close the sampler cylinder. It can be applied to ordinary oil-water wells and high-temperature steam injection wells to obtain samples at any depth. The disadvantage is that the operator cannot determine whether the cylinder is closed on the ground.
[0005] Clock control type: using a mechanical clock inside the sampler to control the closure of the sampler cylinder. It can be applied to ordinary oil-water wells to obtain samples at any depth. The disadvantage is that it is not suitable for high-temperature steam injection well sampling, and the operator cannot determine whether the cylinder is closed on the ground.
[0006] Electronic type: using an electronic clock inside the sampler to control the motor to close the sampler cylinder. It can be applied to ordinary oil-water wells to obtain samples at any depth. The disadvantage is that it is not suitable for high-temperature steam injection well sampling, and the operator cannot determine whether the cylinder is closed on the ground.
[0007] Lifting and hanging type: using a cam on the upper part of the sampler and a one-way tongue block on the cam. When the sampler is lowered to the sampling position, the sampler is lifted, and when the one-way tongue block on the cam is hung in the gap inside the coupling connecting the two pipe columns, the cam rotates to a certain angle, and the sampler cylinder is closed. It can be applied to ordinary oil-water wells and super-high-temperature steam injection wells to obtain samples at any depth. The disadvantage is that the operator cannot determine whether the cylinder is closed on the ground.
[0008] Release of bullet gas push type: using electronic clock to control the gas generated by the explosion of an electric detonator to push the sampler cylinder to close. It can be applied to ordinary oil-water wells to obtain samples at any depth. The disadvantage is that it is not suitable for high-temperature steam injection well sampling, and the operator cannot determine whether the cylinder is closed on the ground.
[0009] Punching: the way of using the lower part of the sampler to make the sampler sample cylinder close by the well bottom tool, which can be applied to ordinary oil and water wells, the disadvantage is: only the bottom sample can be obtained, the sample at any depth cannot be obtained, it is not suitable for sampling in high temperature steam injection wells, and the operator cannot determine whether the sample cylinder is closed on the ground.
[0010] The above control mode of the sampler has single function, is affected by high temperature, and is not suitable for sampling dryness in super high temperature steam injection wells except for hammering and lifting control modes.
[0011] At present, the security department prohibits the operator from climbing the wellhead blowout preventer to release the weight and operate, and the self-lifting blowout preventer must be used. The blowout preventer needs to put the sampler into the pipe in the horizontal state of the blowout preventer, and then the hydraulic lifting is erected. In this way, the sampler will move up and down in the blowout preventer, touch the controller, cause the sample cylinder to close, and must be re-adjusted and repeatedly installed. Its reliability is poor, and the operator cannot judge whether the sample cylinder of the sampler is closed on the ground. Only when the sampler is pulled out of the wellhead can it be known whether it is closed or not. If the sample cylinder is not closed in the well, there is no remedial measure, which will cause repeated construction and affect oilfield production.
[0012] In addition, the prior art has the following patents:

At this time, the upper return spring 12 on the switch control rod 8 is in a compressed state. Because of the blockage of the positioning pin 9, the switch control rod 8 will not go down due to the action of the upper return spring 12.
[0077] Then, compress the second return spring 41 under the second adjusting screw 42 of the second valve 39 in the lower joint 43, make the center transmission control link 37 act upward, when the center transmission control link upper end part 31 in the locking sleeve 30 shows the date kernel-shaped head, press down the adjustable control sleeve 20, the adjustable control sleeve 20 together with the first adjusting screw 24, the first return spring adjusting nut 21 compresses the first return spring 23, the trumpet sleeve 28 at the lower part of the first valve 26 moves downward, makes the locking sleeve 30 enter the trumpet sleeve 28, and folds the two locking blocks 17, so that the lower end locking head 17-5 completely enters the lower part of the outer cylinder 13 body, and the locking head 17-5 is pressed on the top end of the adjustable control sleeve 20 and cannot go up.

[0080] When using the inertia closing mode: connect the rope head of the oilfield multifunctional sampler to the steel wire of the ground winch drum, and lower it into the well for sampling. The steam in the well flows through the L-shaped liquid inlet groove 19, the gap between the first valve 26 and the upper joint 22 to the first spiral impeller 27 on the horn sleeve 28, the first spiral impeller 27 rotates under the impact of the steam flow, and part of the water with higher specific gravity is thrown to the inner wall of the outer cylinder of the sampler, and flows into the inner cylinder 35 of the sampler along the inner wall through the sampling hole 33, the remaining fluid enters the gap between the central pipe and the central transmission control link, and flows out through the gap between the second valve and the lower joint. When reaching the sampling depth and time, quickly brake the ground winch brake to achieve emergency stop, at this time the upper half of the switch control rod, the rope head joint, the umbrella-shaped step sliding sleeve, the supporting spring, the connecting wire sleeve stop, and the other parts of the sampler continue to move downward. When overcoming the elastic force of the return spring, the switch control rod is out of the cutting surface position of the upper end of the two locking blocks, the two locking blocks lose the block of the switch control rod, the locking heads of the two locking blocks are opened outward under the action of the release spring, the adjustable control sleeve loses the block of the two locking heads, and under the action of the first return spring, the adjustable control sleeve moves upward together with the first valve and the horn sleeve, so that the first valve enters the lower joint to achieve the closing of the first valve. At the same time, after the locking sleeve is out of the center hole of the first valve lower sleeve, the jujube-shaped head at the top end of the central transmission control link is forced to open under the action of the return spring, and after losing the restraint of the locking sleeve, the central transmission control link moves downward together with the second valve, so that the second valve enters the lower joint to achieve the closing of the lower valve, and the sampling is completed.
[0081] When using the hammer-operated shut-off method: Connect the rope cap of this multi-functional oilfield sampler to the steel wire on the surface winch drum, lower it into the well to be sampled, and the steam in the well flows through the L-shaped inlet channel, through the gap between the first valve and the upper connector, and reaches the impeller on the trumpet-shaped sleeve. The impeller rotates under the impact of the steam flow, throwing some of the heavier water towards the inner wall of the sampler outer cylinder 36, and then flows into the sampler inner cylinder 35 through the inlet hole 33 along the inner wall. The remaining fluid enters the gap between the central tube 35-1 and the central drive control linkage 37, and flows out through the gap between the second valve 39 and the lower connector 43. When the sampling depth and time are reached, the hammer is released from the wellhead. The hammer slides down the steel wire and hits the umbrella-shaped step slide sleeve 1 at the top of the multi-functional sampler for oil fields. After the umbrella-shaped step slide sleeve 1 overcomes the elastic force of the support spring 3, the connecting thread sleeve 7 at the lower end quickly hits the pressure cap 10 with the longitudinal keyway. At this time, the upper part of the switch control rod 8 and the non-disassembly rope cap 4 joint stop moving, and the other parts of the sampler continue to descend together. When the upper return spring 12 is overcome, the switch control lever 8 disengages from the cutting surface 17-1 position at the upper end of the two locking blocks 17. The two locking blocks 17 lose the obstruction of the switch control lever 8, and the locking heads 17-5 of the two locking blocks 17 open outward under the action of the release spring 16. After the adjustable control sleeve 20 loses the obstruction of the two locking heads 17, under the action of the first return spring 23, the adjustable control sleeve 20, together with the first valve 26 and the flared sleeve 28, moves upward quickly, so that the first valve 26 enters the lower connector 43, thereby closing the first valve 26. At the same time, after the locking sleeve 30 disengages from the center hole of the lower sleeve of the first valve 26, the date-shaped head of the upper end 31 of the center transmission control link forces the locking sleeve 30 to open under the action of the first return spring 23. After losing the restraint of the locking sleeve 30, the center transmission control link 37 and the second valve 39 move downward together, so that the second valve 39 enters the lower connector 43, thereby closing the lower valve.
[0082] When using the impact top closing mode: the rope cap of the oilfield multifunctional sampler is connected to the steel wire on the ground winch drum, and when the wellhead sample needs to be obtained, the steam in the well flows through the L-shaped liquid inlet groove 19, the gap between the first valve 26 and the upper joint 22 to the first spiral impeller 27 on the bellmouth sleeve 28, the first spiral impeller 27 rotates under the impact of the steam flow, and part of the water with higher specific gravity is thrown to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 36 of the sampler, and then flows into the inner cylinder 35 of the sampler along the inner wall through the sampling hole. The remaining fluid enters the gap between the central pipe 35-1 and the central transmission control link 37, and then flows out through the gap between the second valve 39 and the lower joint 43. When the sampling time arrives, pull the steel wire connected to the sampler, the top end of the umbrella-shaped step sliding sleeve 1 of the oilfield multifunctional sampler impacts the lower end of the blowout preventer, the umbrella-shaped step sliding sleeve 1 overcomes the elastic force of the supporting spring 3, and then the lower end of the connecting wire sleeve 7 quickly impacts the pressure cap 10 with a longitudinal key groove. At this time, the upper half of the switch control rod 8 and the detachable rope cap 4 joint stop moving, and the other parts of the sampler continue to move downward together. When the elastic force of the upper return spring 12 is overcome, the switch control rod 8 is out of the cutting surface 17-1 on the upper end of the two locking blocks 17, the two locking blocks 17 lose the block of the switch control rod 8, and the two locking blocks 17 are immediately opened outward under the action of the release spring 16. After the adjustable control sleeve 20 loses the block of the two locking blocks 17, the adjustable control sleeve 20 moves upward quickly together with the first valve 26, the bellmouth sleeve 28, and the first return spring 23, so that the first valve 26 enters the first conical valve seat, the first valve is closed, and at the same time, the locking sleeve 30 is out of the central hole of the lower sleeve of the first valve 26. The jujube core-shaped head of the upper end of the central transmission control link 31 is forced to open the locking sleeve 30 under the action of the first return spring 23, and after losing the restraint of the locking sleeve 30, the central transmission control link 8 moves downward together with the second valve 39, so that the second valve 39 enters the second conical valve seat, the lower valve is closed, and the sampling is completed.
[0083] Adjustment of the sampler when different samples need to be obtained: when liquid samples need to be obtained, the sampling inner cylinder at the lower end of the locking base 34 can be removed as needed to achieve the purpose of obtaining other liquid samples.
[0084] Confirmation of whether the above three control sampler sample cylinders are closed: in order to determine whether the sampler sample cylinder is closed, the sampler needs to be lowered, and the outer 17-4 positioning claws at the lower end of the two opened locking blocks 17 will slide down along the pipe wall. When entering the middle gap of the two pipe joints at the pipe collar, the outer positioning claws 17-4 enter the middle gap of the two pipe joints, and the sampler is forced to stop moving downward, so that it can be confirmed that the sample cylinder has been closed, and the operation can be started. Otherwise, the sampler is slightly lifted again, the ground winch brake is quickly tightened to achieve emergency stop, and the purpose of confirming whether the sample cylinder is closed on the ground is achieved.
