Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil well production metering, in particular to an oil well production metering device. Background Art

[0002] The pumping well system mainly consists of three parts: the pumping unit, the sucker rod and the pump. The pumping unit suspension point reciprocates under the drive of the motor, and transmits the ground power to the downhole pump through the sucker rod, driving the downhole plunger pump to pump oil. The fixed valve is located on the upper part of the pump barrel, and the floating valve is located inside the plunger. During the up and down stroke, as the floating valve and the fixed valve are opened and closed, the crude oil is lifted to the ground. The production measurement of oil wells is an important task in oilfield production. Accurate and timely measurement of oil well production is of great guiding significance for understanding the status of oil wells, reservoir dynamics, and formulating production plans.

[0003] In the process of oil extraction, ground oil extraction equipment, such as pumping units, extract a mixture of oil, gas and water from the formation and transport it through ground pipelines, such as to oil storage tanks. In order to ensure the safety of transportation, it is necessary to measure various parameters, such as the pressure, temperature and flow rate of the mixed liquid output at the wellhead; in order to understand the output of the oil well, it is necessary to install a metering device for measurement.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings: Embodiment 1: As attached Figure 1 As shown, the metering device for the oil well production includes a hollow separation tank 1 and a control unit.

[0025] The above-mentioned oil well production metering device can be further optimized and / or improved according to actual needs: Embodiment 2: As attached Figure 1As shown, the liquid production and moisture estimation part includes an oil inlet pipe 7, a water content analyzer 8, an inverted U-shaped siphon 9 and a liquid production estimation unit 10. An oil inlet is provided on the left side of the separation tank 1 corresponding to the upper position of the lower cavity 6, and an oil inlet pipe 7 with a blind end on the left end is fixedly installed in the oil inlet. A water content analyzer 8 is provided on the left end of the oil inlet pipe 7, and a liquid through hole communicating with the inside and outside is provided on the upper left side of the oil inlet pipe 7. An oil outlet is provided on the left side of the separation tank 1 corresponding to the middle position of the upper cavity 5, and an inverted U-shaped siphon 9 with the outer side of the lower left end and the inner side of the liquid through hole fixedly installed in the oil outlet, the lower right end of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9 is located in the upper cavity 5, and a liquid production estimation unit 10 capable of detecting the number and duration of siphon phenomena occurring per unit time is provided on the upper left part of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9, and the water content analyzer 8 and the liquid production estimation unit 10 are electrically connected to the control unit respectively.

[0026] During use, after the gas-liquid mixture produced by the oil well is separated, the oil-water mixture gathers at the bottom of the upper cavity 5. When the liquid level of the oil-water mixture in the upper cavity 5 is higher than the curved part at the upper end of the inverted U-shaped siphon tube 9, a siphon phenomenon will occur. The siphon effect can make the oil-water mixture in the upper cavity 5 flow into the lower cavity 6 through the outlet at the lower left end of the inverted U-shaped siphon tube 9 and the oil inlet pipe 7. When the liquid level of the oil-water mixture in the upper cavity 5 is lower than the inlet at the lower right end of the inverted U-shaped siphon tube 9, the siphon phenomenon in the inverted U-shaped siphon tube 9 Stop, that is, the oil-water mixture stops flowing in the inverted U-shaped siphon 9, and the oil-water mixture gathers at the bottom of the upper cavity 5 again until the siphon phenomenon occurs again, and the cycle repeats; during this process, the liquid production estimation unit 10 will measure the number and duration of the siphon phenomenon in the inverted U-shaped siphon 9 per unit time, and the control unit can preliminarily estimate the liquid production of the oil well through the above-mentioned measured values, and the water content analyzer 8 can obtain the water content of the oil well output fluid by measuring the water content of the oil-water mixture in the inverted U-shaped siphon 9. According to the needs, the oil inlet pipe 7 with a blind end at the left end in this embodiment can be realized by a J-shaped pipe in the prior art and a blind flange connected to the left end of the J-shaped pipe; the liquid production estimation unit 10 can be realized by a float type liquid level sensor or a float type liquid level sensor or a static pressure type liquid level sensor in the prior art, and the water content analyzer 8 can be realized by the Universal IV UCM series online water content analyzer in oil of DREXELBROOK in the prior art.

[0027] Embodiment 3: As attached Figure 1 As shown, the liquid production estimation unit 10 is a capacitive liquid level sensor. This configuration is mainly because the capacitive liquid level sensor has the advantages of large dynamic range, fast response speed, small zero drift, simple structure and strong adaptability.

[0028] Embodiment 4: As attached Figure 1As shown, the gas production detection unit includes a connecting pipe 11 and a natural gas flow meter 12. A gas outlet is provided in the middle of the upper end of the separation tank 1, and an air inlet is provided on the right side of the separation tank 1 corresponding to the upper position of the lower cavity 6. A connecting pipe 11 is fixedly installed between the air inlet and the air outlet, and a natural gas flow meter 12 is provided on the connecting pipe 11. The natural gas flow meter 12 is electrically connected to the control unit.

[0029] By such an arrangement, after the gas-liquid mixture of the oil well is separated into gas and liquid in the upper cavity 5, the natural gas floats up and escapes from the upper end of the separation tank 1, and flows into the lower cavity 6 from the connecting pipe 11. The flow of natural gas flowing through the connecting pipe 11 can be measured by the natural gas flow meter 12. The natural gas flow meter 12 in the prior art can usually accurately and stably measure the instantaneous flow value and the cumulative flow value of the natural gas. The control unit can quickly and accurately calculate the gas production of the oil well according to the natural gas flow value per unit time. The natural gas flow meter 12 can be realized by a digital display natural gas turbine flow sensor in the prior art as needed.

[0030] Embodiment 5: As attached Figure 1 As shown, a liquid production precision measuring part capable of accurately detecting the liquid production is provided between the middle of the separation tank 1 and the upper part of the connecting pipe 11, the liquid production precision measuring part comprises a liquid level communicating vessel 12, a detection tube 14, a first liquid level sensor 15 and a second liquid level sensor 16, a measuring hole which passes through from top to bottom is provided in the middle of the partition 4, the liquid level communicating vessel 12 is fixedly installed in the measuring hole, a detection hole which passes through from inside to outside is provided on the separation tank 1 at the position corresponding to the lower end of the liquid level communicating vessel 12, a detection tube 14 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the liquid level communicating vessel 12, the other end of the detection tube 14 passes through the detection hole and is connected with the lower side of the upper part of the connecting pipe 11 and is fixedly installed together, a first liquid level sensor 15 and a second liquid level sensor 16 are respectively provided on the detection tube 14 at the right lower end and the upper bending part of the inverted U-shaped siphon tube 9, and the first liquid level sensor 15 and the second liquid level sensor 16 are respectively electrically connected to the control unit.

[0031] During use, the oil-water mixture at the bottom of the upper cavity 5 can enter the detection tube 14 through the liquid level communication vessel 12. When the first liquid level sensor 15 detects the liquid level, the liquid level of the oil-water mixture in the upper cavity 5 is just flush with the inlet position of the lower right end of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9. When the second liquid level sensor 16 detects the liquid level, the liquid level of the oil-water mixture just reaches the outlet position of the upper end bend of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9 and a siphon phenomenon occurs. The control unit can accurately calculate the liquid production of the oil well according to the time difference between the first liquid level sensor 15 and the second liquid level sensor 16 detecting the liquid level data, the inner cavity volume of the separation tank 1 corresponding to the lower right end of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9, and the inner cavity volume of the separation tank 1 corresponding to the position between the lower right end and the bend of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9. According to the needs, the first liquid level sensor 15 and the second liquid level sensor 16 can be realized by the contact liquid level sensor or the non-contact liquid level sensor in the prior art; the detection tube 14 and the detection hole can be directly fixed together, or fixedly connected together through a pipe joint.

[0032] Embodiment 6: As attached Figure 1 As shown, the liquid production precision measurement unit also includes a water injection pipe 17 and a water injection control valve 18. A water injection port that passes through the inside and outside is provided on the upper part of the detection tube 14. An L-shaped water injection pipe 17 with a funnel-shaped upper end is fixedly installed in the water injection port, and a water injection control valve 18 is provided on the horizontal part of the water injection pipe 17.

[0033] When in use, open the water injection control valve 18, and inject clean water into the detection tube 14 and the communicating vessel through the L-shaped water injection pipe 17, so that the liquid level of the clean water in the detection tube 14 is below the first liquid level sensor 15. In this way, when the liquid level of the oil-water mixture reaches the inlet at the lower right end of the inverted U-shaped siphon 9, the oil-water mixture can push the clean water level to reach the first liquid level sensor 15. When the liquid level of the oil-water mixture reaches the outlet of the curved part of the U-shaped siphon, the clean water level just reaches the second liquid level sensor 16, so that the probes of the first liquid level sensor 15 and the second sensor are always in contact with clean water, keeping the first liquid level sensor 15 and the second sensor clean, and preventing the oil-water mixture from corroding the probes.

[0034] Embodiment 7: As attached Figure 1 As shown, the right end of the liquid outlet pipe and the right end of the oil inlet pipe 7 are both bent downward into an arc shape.

[0035] Through such an arrangement, the bend at the right end of the liquid outlet pipe can make the gas-liquid mixture produced by the oil well flow into the bottom of the upper cavity 5, preventing the floating natural gas from re-dissolving in the mixed liquid and affecting the measurement of the natural gas production, while avoiding the gas-liquid mixture from splashing and hanging on the wall; the bend at the right end of the oil inlet pipe 7 can effectively avoid the splashing and separation of the oil-water mixture, allowing the oil-water mixture to flow out quickly through the liquid outlet pipe.

[0036] Embodiment 8: As attached Figure 1As shown, the liquid inlet pipe 2 can be an expanded pipe with a thin left side and a thick right side. During use, the expanded pipe with a thin left side and a thick right side can reduce the pressure of the gas-liquid mixture, so that the pressure of the gas-liquid mixture is initially separated, and then the gas-liquid mixture is separated again through the upper cavity 5, which can make the gas-liquid separation effect better and the measurement value more accurate.

[0037] The above technical features constitute the embodiments of the present invention, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be added or reduced according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different situations.
