Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil development and well repair operations, and in particular relates to an injection device and a construction method for unblocking an under-injected well by injecting carbon dioxide for oil recovery based on the injection device. Background Art

[0002] At present, most oil fields have entered the medium-to-high water content period, which makes development difficult and costly. With the continuous advancement of exploration and development technology, the proportion of low-permeability oil reservoirs in the total oil reserves is increasing, but due to the many characteristics of low-permeability reservoirs, such as low porosity, low permeability, severe heterogeneity, and strong reservoir sensitivity, their utilization is low. With the progress of water injection development, low-permeability oil reservoirs have production contradictions: production declines rapidly, water injection pressure continues to increase, and water injection oil recovery effect is poor.

[0003] As CO2-EOR technology gradually matures, CO2 flooding technology is an effective method to improve oil recovery. Injecting CO2 into the formation can not only improve the recovery of crude oil, but also achieve permanent storage of greenhouse gas CO2. CO2 capture, flooding and storage not only improve economic benefits, but also produce extensive social benefits. The CO2 miscible flooding has a significant oil recovery effect, but after CO2 is injected into the formation, it will contact with crude oil under certain temperature and pressure conditions, causing heavy components in the crude oil to precipitate and deposit, and crude oil asphaltene will deposit on the surface of the reservoir pores. The generated organic scale is adsorbed on the rock surface, which will block the pores and change the wettability of the rock. The organic scale accumulates near the wellbore in the near-wellbore area, which will cause the seepage channel to be blocked.

[0004] For CO2 flooding under-injection well unblocking construction, on-site construction operations are usually divided into two methods: one is conventional well workover unblocking operation with wellhead pressure relief; the other is pressurized coiled tubing unblocking operation. Conventional pressure relief well workover takes a long time to occupy the well, and due to the early injection of carbon dioxide, it is even difficult to reduce the pressure of some wellheads to zero; and pressurized operations have disadvantages such as high cost and high well control risks, so it is necessary to carry out research on new construction methods. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the conventional CO2 injection wells in the prior art, such as long decompression time, risk of backflow and gas exhalation, risk of high-pressure well control in pressurized operation and high cost, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an injection device and a construction method for unblocking under-injected wells by injecting CO2 for oil recovery based on the injection device, and to form a construction method for unmoving downhole pipe strings and pressurized operation by skidding the high-pressure injection device. The construction method of the present invention has the advantages of simple construction, low operation risk, and simultaneous unblocking of multiple under-injected wells, and convenient movement of supporting equipment without the need for large-scale lifting vehicles.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0012] In the specific implementation process, the self-dosing system and the high-pressure injection system are connected to a voltage stabilization control system; and the voltage stabilization control system is connected to a power generation system.

[0013] In the specific implementation process, a skid-mounted chassis of a trailer is arranged below the storage tank system, the self-dosing system and the high-pressure injection system, and a hydraulic support is arranged below the skid-mounted chassis of the trailer.

[0014] In the specific implementation process, a pressure gauge is provided on the injection pipeline.

[0015] In a specific implementation process, the outlet of the injection pipeline is connected to the inlets of several branches arranged in parallel, and the outlets of the branches are connected to the external input injection interface.

[0016] In a specific implementation process, a first storage tank internal reflux outlet and a second storage tank internal reflux outlet are respectively opened on the first storage tank and the second storage tank; the first storage tank internal reflux outlet is connected to the second storage tank internal reflux outlet through a pipeline.

[0017] In a specific implementation process, the bottoms of the first storage tank and the second storage tank are respectively provided with discharge outlets, and the discharge outlets are both connected to the inlet of the sewage pipe.

[0018] The present invention also provides a construction method for unblocking an under-injected well by injecting carbon dioxide for oil recovery, comprising the following steps:

[0019] S1: The injection device is connected to the CO2 injection wellhead, the valve on the second branch is closed, the valve on the first branch is opened, and the valve on the feeding pipeline is opened to suck the plugging remover and liquid preparation water to be injected into the first storage tank and the second storage tank through the self-dosing system;

[0020] S2: Close the valve on the feeding pipeline, open the valves on the first branch, the first storage tank and the second storage tank connecting pipeline, and start the self-dosing system for circulation and mixing;

[0022] S4: Drain the remaining liquid in the first storage tank and the second storage tank, and end the construction.

[0023] The pressure test step is also included, and the pressure test step is as follows:

[0024] Diesel is used for pressure testing, and the test pressure is adjusted to be 2 to 5 MPa higher than the normal injection pressure at the wellhead. The pressure test lasts for 5 minutes.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The present invention provides an injection device and a construction method for unblocking an under-injected well by injecting carbon dioxide for oil recovery based on the injection device. A skid-mounted high-pressure injection device is connected to the CO2 injection wellhead, and then a pressure-reducing and injection-increasing unblocking agent is added to the storage tank box of the skid-mounted high-pressure injection device, and finally the injection pump is started. When the injection pressure is high and the wellhead pressure is injected, the unblocking agent is injected into the wellhead along with the carbon dioxide and is injected into the formation, dissolving, dispersing, and clearing the formation blockage with organic blockages such as asphaltene in the formation, reducing the injection pressure and increasing the injection volume. The above construction method is simple in construction, low in operating risk and operating cost, and good in economy. More importantly, it reduces the risk of well control in on-site construction and is safer and more environmentally friendly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
