Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pipeline auxiliary equipment and relates to an oil and gas pipeline threaded joint device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of oil and gas resources, most oilfields have entered the middle and late stages of development. As the main carrier of oil and gas transportation, the service environment faced by oil and gas gathering and transportation pipelines is becoming increasingly harsh. On the one hand, with the continuous increase in the water cut of crude oil, the high salinity formation water causes serious scaling on the inner wall of the pipeline, and the number of pipeline corrosion perforation and leakage accidents caused by under-deposit corrosion is increasing continuously; on the other hand, the produced oil and gas also face corrosion from media such as high sulfur, carbon dioxide, and chloride ions, which also increases the risk of corrosion perforation inside the pipeline to a certain extent. Through long-term research on the internal corrosion mechanism and prevention measures of gathering and transportation pipelines, it is found that fiberglass pipelines have a wide application prospect in the high-corrosion working conditions of oil and gas fields due to their strong corrosion resistance.

[0003] Fiberglass pipeline is a non-metallic pipeline made of resin, glass fiber, and quartz sand by a special process. It has the characteristics of strong corrosion resistance, good hydraulic characteristics, light weight and high specific strength, non-pollution of the transported medium, fast installation, and easy-to-master construction methods. In recent years, fiberglass pipelines have been widely used in oil and gas field surface engineering at home and abroad, especially in the Middle East, the Gulf region, Jilin Oilfield, and Tarim Oilfield in China.

[0004] The selection of the connection method and location for fiberglass pipes is generally determined through consultation between the design and pipe manufacturers based on the usage requirements proposed by the owner and the project characteristics. The common connection forms include: socket adhesion, butt wrapping connection, socket connection with or without a locking structure using a sealing ring, flange connection, and threaded connection. Among them, threaded connection is widely used due to its economic efficiency in processing and manufacturing and the convenience of on-site installation and construction. Currently, the threaded structures used in oil and gas transportation pipelines all adopt the round thread or the buttress thread specified in API. This threaded structure poses a risk of leakage during the service life of the pipeline, mainly for the following reasons: Firstly, the threads in API are designed based on the properties of steel materials and are not suitable for fiberglass materials. Since steel materials are isotropic, that is, the mechanical properties of the material are exactly the same in all directions. While fiberglass sleeves are composed of resin, glass fibers, and quartz sand, and the material is anisotropic, that is, the mechanical properties in the axial, radial, and circumferential directions are completely inconsistent, which leads to completely inconsistent meshing degrees of the threads in these three directions. Secondly, since the API threads themselves do not have sealing ability, the realization of their sealing performance mainly depends on the thread compound applied to the thread surface to fill the space between the inner and outer thread flanks after thread meshing. This is very effective for liquid sealing, but oil and gas pipelines often transport a mixture of oil and gas, which easily causes gas leakage. As the pressure of the transported medium inside the pipe and the pipe diameter continue to increase, the risk of leakage of the medium inside the pipe from the threaded joint also continues to increase.

[0005] In summary, for the connection of fiberglass oil and gas transportation pipelines, there is a problem of insufficient sealing performance in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention
