Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of blowout preventers, in particular to a heating cable double-gate blowout preventer suitable for abnormally high-pressure self-flowing wells. Background Art
[0002] There are many high-pressure self-flowing wells in Northwest my country, which are rich in resources and have broad development prospects. However, there are many crude oil resources with high wax, colloid and asphaltene content. However, due to the lack of supporting facilities, the exploitation process of such oil wells is currently hindered. In the exploitation process of such crude oil, the pressure of the produced liquid gradually decreases as it approaches the surface of the wellhead, and the crude oil continues to lose heat due to degassing, which will precipitate wax and colloid attached to the wellbore. As time goes by, the flow area in the well continues to decrease, resulting in a decrease in production. In severe cases, it will cause blockage of the wellbore, and the wellhead pressure will also cause "pressure holding" due to the reduction in the flow area. In order to simultaneously achieve wellbore heating and wellhead blowout prevention, a heating cable is selected to increase the well flow temperature and reduce the precipitation of wax and colloid. The heating cable is a three-phase star cable with a metal sheath commonly used in oil fields; in addition, a wellhead blowout preventer with a matching heating cable is required to close the wellhead during oil testing, well repair, completion and other operations to prevent blowout accidents. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a small-caliber, high-sealing-pressure wellhead blowout preventer that can be used with a heating cable.

When there is no cable in the first channel, the hand wheel propulsion device at the two ports of the second channel is rotated to push the sealing gate assembly to move inward, and the first elastic bodies of the two sealing gate assemblies are squeezed against each other to achieve full sealing; when there is a cable in the first channel, the hand wheel propulsion device at the two ports of the second channel is rotated to push the sealing gate assembly to move inward, and the first elastic bodies of the two sealing gate assemblies are squeezed against each other, and the cable squeezes the second elastic bodies on both sides and cooperates with the circular arc groove to achieve half sealing. The utility model is easy to operate, has stable and reliable sealing, and can realize free conversion between half sealing and full sealing.

The cylinder sleeve is installed between the side door and the cylinder head, and the cylinder head and the side door are connected by the oil cylinder bolts, which also realizes the fixing of the cylinder sleeve. The oil cylinder of the hydraulic system is formed in the cylinder sleeve, and the piston and the gate shaft are installed inside; the front end of the gate shaft is connected to the gate assembly, and the piston pushes the gate to move under the action of hydraulic oil to achieve the sealing and opening of the wellhead.

[0032] The brake locking assembly is connected and fixed to the cylinder head, and the gate is closed or locked by manually rotating the hand wheel. The position of the gate shaft can be viewed through the locking rod observation window, so as to conveniently and intuitively determine the switch state of the blowout preventer.
[0033] The following are several specific embodiments of the present invention.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] In a specific embodiment 1 of the present invention, the present invention is composed of four parts: a blowout preventer body, a connection seat assembly, a brake locking assembly and a hydraulic system assembly. Figure 1 As shown, the shell 1 is a cube-like body with a through hole in the middle for placing the cable 3; the blowout preventer body is penetrated from left to right to form an upper and lower chamber for the installation of a double-gate hydraulic system; the side door 2 is connected and fixed to the side door by side door bolts.
[0036] The connection seat assembly is composed of a connection seat 4 and a cable sealing assembly 5. The connection seat 4 is connected and fixed to the upper end of the blowout preventer body by bolts; Figure 3 As shown, the cable sealing assembly 5 realizes sealing of the cable 3 at the inlet of the blowout preventer through a counterweight 5-1, a clamping block 5-2 and a multi-layer sealing ring 5-3.
[0037] The hydraulic system assembly is composed of a cylinder sleeve 6, a cylinder head 7, an oil cylinder 8, a piston 9, a gate shaft 10, and a gate assembly 11. The cylinder sleeve 6 is installed between the side door 2 and the cylinder head 7. The cylinder head 7 is connected to the side door 2 by the oil cylinder bolts, and the cylinder sleeve 6 is fixed. The oil cylinder 8 of the hydraulic system is formed in the cylinder sleeve 6, and the piston 9 and the gate shaft 10 are installed inside. The gate assembly 11 is connected to the front end of the gate shaft 10. Under the action of the hydraulic oil, the piston 9 pushes the gate to move, so as to seal and open the wellhead. Figure 2 As shown, the gate assembly 11 seals the cable 3 through the front seal 11-1 and the top seal 11-2 on the gate, and the front seal 11-1 and the top seal 11-2 on the gate are self-locking to each other.
[0038] Component 12 is a brake locking assembly, which is connected and fixed with the matching cylinder head 7. The gate assembly can be closed or locked by manually rotating the locking rod. Through the locking rod observation window, the position of the gate shaft can be checked, which is convenient and intuitive to determine the switch status of the blowout preventer.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] like Figure 1As shown in the figure, during the matching process, when used for the first time, since the pipeline and the oil cylinder 8 are empty, the required oil filling amount is large; after the first use, the oil tank should be filled with dozens of liters of hydraulic oil, and the air in the hose and the oil cylinder should be discharged repeatedly. If the oil in the hose and the oil cylinder does not leak after the first use, the oil consumption can be greatly reduced when used for the second time.
[0041] Example 3
[0042] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when adjusting the gate opening, the electrical signal from the control box console is transmitted to the electric power pump of the external power supply. The hydraulic oil in the oil tank flows through the channel body and the plate valve with the kinetic energy provided by the pump and finally reaches the oil cylinder of the blowout preventer and is converted into pressure work to act on the hydraulic system assembly, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the gate opening. At the same time, parameter signals such as the pressure in the cylinder will be fed back to the display interface of the console, providing a guarantee basis for real-time monitoring of cylinder pressure and ensuring safety on site.
[0043] Example 4
[0044] Due to the short operation cycle and frequent handling of underground blowout preventers, in order to achieve safe operation under less investment conditions, the auxiliary equipment configuration strives to be small, light, simple and practical. Therefore, the hydraulic control console equipped with the hydraulic blowout preventer is a special operation blowout preventer hydraulic control console, which has the advantages of complete functions, small size and light weight. In order to meet the safety of operation, three sets of reversing valves are required to control the semi-seal respectively, and the matching accumulator system can meet the needs of three-time single-gate blowout preventer switch; the oil inlet flange is NPT 1 / 2″ connection form, and the connecting pipeline is a high-pressure oil-resistant hose, and the hose length is generally 30~35m / root.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
