Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas exploration and development, and in particular relates to an alternating temporary plugging material adding device and a process method. Background Art

[0002] Temporary plugging fracturing can achieve the diversity and complexity of reservoir fractures, improve reservoir permeability, and increase production effects. It is widely used in the production enhancement and transformation operations of oil and gas reservoirs. There are three main ways to add temporary plugging materials: the first is to add them manually through the mixing tank of the sand mixer, which is mainly suitable for granular temporary plugging agents. The addition speed depends on experience, the labor intensity is high, the operation requirements are high, and there are safety hazards such as high-pressure damage and falling from heights. It is easy to cause the pump head of the fracturing truck to stick and suffocate, causing the risk of construction interruption; the second is to connect the side branch of the storage pipe pre-loaded with temporary plugging materials to the high-pressure manifold at the rear end of the pump truck, which is mainly suitable for temporary plugging balls. When filling is required, the valve of the side branch manifold is manually opened. This method has the risk of high-pressure damage, the total amount added is small, and the addition speed and concentration are uncontrollable; the third is to run a special temporary plugging material pumping system in the high-pressure manifold. The characteristics are that the temporary plugging material pumping system equipment is large and the cost is high, which is not suitable for low-cost development strategies.

[0003] The Chinese patent document with publication number CN112878976 A discloses a remote-controlled temporary plugging material injection system and application method. The remote-controlled temporary plugging material injection device includes a temporary plugging agent injection system, a temporary plugging agent storage system and a pressure isolation system, which is mainly used to inject temporary plugging agents and temporary plugging balls into the high-pressure manifold to prevent the temporary plugging agent from being unable to enter the manifold smoothly due to insufficient gravity to overcome resistance. The device in the document adopts remote control operation, relying on electric-controlled hydraulic power to control the temporary plugging agent injection system and the switch pressure isolation system, so as to avoid construction personnel from crossing the high-pressure area to ensure the safety of on-site construction personnel, so as to avoid possible high-pressure leakage injuries. It realizes the temporary plugging agent and temporary plugging ball that are continuously pumped into the high-pressure manifold, greatly improving the continuity of temporary plugging fracturing operation; shortening the construction time and reducing the construction cost; however, the device in the document still has a special temporary plugging material pumping system in the high-pressure manifold, which is characterized by large equipment and high cost of the temporary plugging material pumping system, which is not suitable for low-cost development strategy; at the same time, when the temporary plugging material is pushed from the temporary plugging material storage chamber into the high-pressure manifold by the push rod, firstly, the temporary plugging material cannot be pushed in when the push rod is stretched, which prolongs the injection time; secondly, the temporary plugging material exists in the storage chamber, and is limited by the storage chamber space, and cannot meet the injection of large-capacity temporary plugging materials; since the device in the document is a high-pressure device, a pressure sealing system needs to be set up, which has a complex structure and high cost.

[0004] Aiming at the high labor intensity and high experience requirement of low-pressure addition in sand mixing truck, the problems of high-pressure injury, falling from height, pump head sticking, pump blocking, as well as the high-pressure injury of temporary plugging materials pre-placed in the side branch pipe of the high-pressure manifold, small addition amount, uncontrollable addition speed and concentration, an alternating large-capacity temporary plugging material high-pressure addition device and process method are proposed to realize remote control of automatic addition of large-capacity high-pressure end of multiple types of temporary plugging materials.
