Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coalbed methane mining, and in particular to a hydraulic energy storage liquid lifting device and system, and a control method. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of society, energy demand continues to rise, and energy mining companies are facing major challenges such as diversification, sustainable and efficient production.

[0003] Coalbed methane, a hydrocarbon gas stored in coal seams, is primarily composed of methane, which is typically adsorbed on the surface of coal particles, with some remaining free in coal pores or dissolved in coalbed water. It is a mineral resource associated with coal and an unconventional natural gas. Its combustion products are primarily water and carbon dioxide, with virtually no other waste gases. This makes it a crucial player in the global energy transition. Compared to traditional fossil fuels like coal and oil, the use of coalbed methane can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, thereby contributing to the fight against global climate change.

[0004] Currently, in the field of coalbed methane (CBM) extraction, unlike natural gas production, the initial stage of surface drilling and drainage generally requires the removal of large amounts of water from the coal seam. As a result, the well produces a large amount of water and little gas. Artificial lift equipment is used to bring the bottomhole liquid to the surface to reduce pressure. Subsequently, as the underground water is drained, the pressure near the wellbore drops, and gas is gradually desorbed and produced. In the middle stage of drainage, when the pressure near the wellbore drops to a certain level, gas production gradually increases and remains stable, while water production is very low or non-existent.

[0005] However, as gas wells age, some components of the coalbed methane (CBM) gradually condense within the wellbore, forming condensate accumulations. This condensate can hinder gas flow and reduce gas transmission efficiency. This accumulation can even lead to partial blockages in gathering and transmission pipelines, impacting gas well production and even causing production shutdowns. Furthermore, because the amount of this accumulated liquid varies depending on the region, season, and environment, designing a water-lifting solution with adjustable drainage and guaranteed continuous and stable output is a pressing technical challenge facing those skilled in the art.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances and in combination with the existing technology. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other unless there is a conflict. And one or more of the components in the diagram may be necessary or non-essential, and the relative positional relationship between the components in the above diagram can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0048] Currently, in the actual production process of gas wells, the underground water accumulation process is affected by multiple factors such as geological structure, hydrogeological conditions, and mining activities, and exhibits significant nonlinear characteristics, resulting in dynamic fluctuations in the bottomhole water level. At the same time, considering the limited underground working space, if a traditional water pump structure is used, the cross-sectional space will be large, which will occupy a large wellbore space. Therefore, the present invention intends to design a single-tube water pump structure with a thin tube diameter. Functionally, it can support dynamic adjustment of the driving power of the wellhead hydraulic pump based on water level analysis data, thereby controlling the underground water lifting volume and adjustable water lifting frequency while ensuring continuous and stable water lifting output.

[0049] For this reason, Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present invention provides a hydraulic energy storage liquid lifting device, which includes: a drainage tank 1, a water storage tank 2, an energy storage tank 3, and a water lifting component 4, wherein Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this example, the drainage tank 1, the water storage tank 2, and the energy storage tank 3 adopt a modular design, and the tank bodies are connected in sequence to form a compact single-tube structure. For example, the outer diameter is preferably set to Φ120mm, and 316L stainless steel is preferably used to have excellent acid and corrosion resistance (corrosion resistance level ≥ ASTM G31 standard). A water diversion window 21 is provided on the water storage tank 2 to guide the accumulated liquid in the well into the water storage tank 2. The energy storage tank 3 is filled with nitrogen. The water lifting component 4 includes: a main hydraulic pipe 41, a drainage pipe 42, a first piston 43, a second piston 44, and a transmission rod 45.

[0050] Among them Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the first piston 43 and the second piston 44 are respectively arranged at both ends of the transmission rod 45, and the connection between the drainage tank 1, the energy storage tank 3 and the water storage tank 2 are respectively provided with a sealed transmission port 46, so that the transmission rod 45 can be inserted between the tanks, and the first piston 43 and the second piston 44 are respectively connected to the drainage tank 1 and the energy storage tank 3 pistons, thereby making the water lifting component 4 and the drainage tank 1 and the energy storage tank 3 form a two-way piston cylinder structure, and at the same time, the inner cavity of the drainage tank 1 and the energy storage tank 3 are separated into two side sealed cavities through each piston, wherein the second side inner cavity of the drainage tank 1 is respectively connected to the water storage tank 2 and the drainage pipe 42 by a one-way valve 47, and the main hydraulic pipe 41 is connected to the first side inner cavity of the drainage tank 1, and the nitrogen filled in the energy storage tank 3 is located in the second side inner cavity of the energy storage tank 3.

[0051] With this arrangement, when the main hydraulic pipe 41 outputs power fluid to the first side inner cavity of the drainage tank 1 and the rated pressure pushes the first piston 43 to a quantitative displacement, the quantitative accumulated fluid in the second side inner cavity of the drainage tank 1 can be pressed into the drainage pipe 42 along the way, and at the same time, the second piston 44 is linked through the transmission rod 45 to squeeze the nitrogen in the energy storage tank 3 for quantitative energy storage. When the main hydraulic pipe 41 stops applying pressure intermittently periodically, the first piston 43 loses pressure, and the nitrogen in the energy storage tank 3 releases kinetic energy, pushing the second piston 44 to push back the first piston 43 to create a rated negative pressure in the second side inner cavity of the drainage tank 1, thereby sucking the quantitative accumulated fluid in the water storage tank 2. This cycle is repeated to ensure continuous and stable water lifting output.

[0052] In addition, it is worth mentioning that, through the structure of the above example, since this solution adopts a single-tube water pressure structure with double pistons reciprocating suction / pressure lifting, the diameter of the single tube can be designed to be thinner than the existing technology, and the maximum single water lifting volume can be adjusted or maintained by increasing the length of each compartment section. Therefore, the cross-sectional space occupied in the well is relatively small, which can provide sufficient space for other underground operating equipment.

[0053] On the other hand, the single-tube water pressure structure with double pistons reciprocating suction / pressure lifting can also support the overall control of the device's single water lifting volume and lifting frequency by adjusting the intermittent pressure interval and pressure amount of the main hydraulic pipe 41, so that the hydraulic energy storage liquid lifting device of the present invention can freely adjust the water lifting efficiency, thereby meeting the downhole drainage requirements in different application scenarios.

[0054] Furthermore, in order to optimize the pressure stability of the water lifting component 4 in the drainage chamber 1 and the energy storage chamber 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the water lifting assembly 4 further includes: an auxiliary hydraulic pipe 48, which is respectively connected to the main hydraulic pipe 41 and the inner cavity of the first side of the energy storage bin 3 to synchronously apply pressure to the second piston 44. In order to ensure the appearance integrity of the single-tube structure of the hydraulic energy storage liquid lifting device of the present invention, in an optional example, as shown Figures 6 to 8 As shown, a jacket layer can be set on the outer wall of the drainage tank 1, the water storage tank 2, and the energy storage tank 3, and multiple channels can be opened in the jacket layer to connect and combine with each other.

[0055] For example Figure 4 As shown, a first channel 411 communicating with the inner cavity of the second side of the drainage chamber 1 can be provided on the first side of the inner layer of the drainage chamber 1 to replace the drainage pipe 42; for example Figure 5As shown, a second channel 412 can be opened on the second side of the jacket of the drainage chamber 1, and simultaneously communicated with the third and fourth channels 414, 413, and 414 opened in the jackets of the water storage chamber 2 and the energy storage chamber 3. At the same time, the fourth channel 414 in the jacket of the energy storage chamber 3 is also connected to the inner cavity on the first side thereof, thereby replacing the auxiliary hydraulic pipe 48, thereby making the device appearance complete and integrated. In other optional embodiments, the auxiliary hydraulic pipe 48 and the drainage pipe 42 can also be arranged in the jacket to achieve the same effect.

[0056] Furthermore, considering that during underground operations, the equipment of the present invention needs to be hoisted down the well, and at the same time, it is necessary to provide support and load-bearing for various pipelines, and to prevent various pipelines from being knotted and entangled, so as to facilitate extension to the well to connect with ground equipment. For this reason, in a preferred embodiment, the hydraulic energy storage liquid lifting device also includes: a manifold assembly 5, wherein the manifold assembly 5 includes: a cluster cover 51, a beam sleeve 52, a load-bearing rope 53, and a connecting pipe seat 54, the connecting pipe seat 54 is fixed on the top of the drainage tank 1, and the load-bearing rope 53 is connected to the The pipes of the main hydraulic pipe 41 and the drainage pipe 42 extend outward through the pipe socket 54, and the cluster cover 51 is sleeved on the outside of the main hydraulic pipe 41, the drainage pipe 42 and the load-bearing rope 53. The waist hole 511 set at one end of the cluster cover 51 limits the main hydraulic pipe 41, the drainage pipe 42 and the load-bearing rope 53 to be arranged in a line, and are clamped with the beam sleeve 52 to space each other, so as to avoid pipeline entanglement. At the same time, it is connected to the ground lifting equipment through the load-bearing rope 53 to solve the lifting load-bearing and pipeline management problems.

[0057] Furthermore, considering that there may be large particles in the underground water, the drainage pipe 42 and the inner cavity of the drainage tank 1 may be blocked or polluted during the water lifting process. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, the present invention provides a backwashing solution. In an optional embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown, the drainage tank 1 can be connected to the water storage tank 2 and the drainage pipe 42 by a three-way pipeline consisting of a pressure control valve 48 and a one-way valve 47. Through this arrangement, by connecting the drainage pipe 42 to the ground pump station, high-pressure water can be reversely input to the drainage pipe 42, thereby flushing the pressure control valve 48 and entering the drainage tank 1 and the water storage tank 2 for reverse flushing to solve the blockage or pollution problem.

[0058] Furthermore, in order to filter out large particles in the underground water and prevent the drain pipe 42 from being frequently blocked, in an optional embodiment, as Figures 10 and 11 As shown, the hydraulic energy storage liquid lifting device also includes: a filter cover 6, wherein a plurality of filter holes are opened on the filter cover 6, which is sleeved on the water storage tank 2 and sealed at each water diversion window 21 to filter the underground water and prevent large particles from entering the water storage tank 2 to form a filtering effect.

[0059] In addition, considering that the underground water usually carries a lot of bubbles, there is a lot of gas in the drainage pipe 42 or the drainage tank 1 during operation, which is easy to affect the water lifting efficiency. Figures 11 to 14 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the water lifting component 4 further includes: a debubbler 49, wherein the debubbler 49 is as shown in FIG. Figure 14 As shown, it includes: a sleeve 491, on which a plurality of blades 492 are arranged at annular intervals. The debubbler 49 is accommodated in the water storage tank 2 and is connected to the transmission rod 45 through the sleeve 491. Driven by the transmission rod 45, it moves back and forth in the water storage tank 2, thereby puncturing large bubbles in the underground water in the water storage tank 2 to achieve gas-liquid separation and reduce the amount of gas entering the drain pipe 42, thereby further ensuring the continuous stability of the water lifting output.

[0060] Furthermore, considering that even after the underground water is filtered by the filter cover 6, there will still be some medium or small particles, so in order to further break up these particles and avoid pipeline blockage, Figure 15 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the water-lifting component 4 further includes: a crushing and pressure stopper 493, which is arranged at both ends of the water storage tank 2, wherein both ends of the sleeve 491 of the debubbler 49 are preferably streamlined to reduce water resistance and reduce kinetic energy loss, and the front side of the crushing and pressure stopper 493 is provided with a guide seat adapted to the shape of the two ends of the sleeve 491.

[0061] With this arrangement, the debubbler 49 can agitate and puncture large bubbles while simultaneously utilizing the reciprocating motion of the two ends of the sleeve 491 to cooperate with the crushing block 493 to crush particulate matter, thereby crushing some of the particulate matter in the accumulated water and ensuring smooth flow of the pipeline. It is also worth mentioning that this entire treatment process is completed by utilizing the piston movement during the water lifting process, without the need for additional power control. Therefore, the structure fully utilizes the reasonable space within the water storage tank 2 and the piston movement during the water lifting process, cleverly preventing the accumulation of water from being blocked.

[0062] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the filling of nitrogen into the energy storage bin 3, in an optional embodiment, an inflatable protective cover 31 is provided at the bottom of the energy storage bin 3 to seal the filled nitrogen and provide protection.

[0063] Through the above example scheme, those skilled in the art can know that since the device of the present invention adopts an independent pipeline design, the power fluid and coalbed methane are completely physically isolated, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of cross-contamination. In addition, the power source can use water or hydraulic oil according to actual conditions, making the power source more selective and adaptable. The bidirectional piston cylinder structure of the present device can support the use of existing cylinder sealing structure, so the sealing performance can ensure that it meets the API 6A PSL3 level standard and achieves zero leakage at a working pressure of 35MPa.
