Embodiment
[0038] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment, a low-efficiency well negative pressure stimulation integrated device is provided, which comprises an oil tree 2 and an oil pumping machine 1 arranged at the wellhead 3 of the low-efficiency well. The oil tree 2 is connected with a first negative pressure stimulation assembly 4. The first negative pressure stimulation assembly 4 comprises a piston structure 41, a pressure stabilizing structure 42 and a negative pressure structure 43.
[0039] The input end of the piston structure 41 is movably connected with the walking beam 11 of the oil pumping machine 1. The pressure stabilizing structure 42 is in communication with the input end of the piston structure 41 and the negative pressure structure 43 through one-way valves, respectively. The negative pressure structure 43 comprises a negative pressure pipe 431 and a back pressure pipe 432. The negative pressure pipe 431 is in communication with the wellhead 3 through a one-way valve. The back pressure pipe 432 is in communication with the negative pressure structure 43 through a one-way valve.
[0040] During the operation of the oil pumping machine 1, the reciprocating motion of the piston structure 41 can be achieved by the swinging of the walking beam 11, and the pressure increase of the wellhead 3 by the negative pressure structure 43 can be achieved by the reciprocating motion of the piston structure 41.
[0041] It can be understood that in the prior art, the stimulation process of the low-efficiency well (such as fracturing and perforation) mainly relies on external energy input (such as high-pressure pumping), which not only has high cost, but also is difficult to adapt to the complex and variable pressure environment in the well. Especially when the wellbore fluid accumulation leads to a sharp drop in the pressure difference between the wellhead 3 and the well bottom, the traditional process cannot effectively utilize the pressure fluctuation in the well to restore the production capacity. In addition, the existing packer 7 and other devices are prone to sealing failure or response lag in the pressure dynamic change scene, which further limits the stimulation effect.
[0042] Based on the above problems, a low-efficiency well negative pressure stimulation integrated device is proposed in this embodiment. By innovatively combining mechanical linkage, pressure dynamic regulation and negative pressure generation technology, the technical problem that the existing low-efficiency well stimulation process cannot effectively utilize the pressure change of the oil well itself to achieve continuous stimulation is systematically solved, and the adaptability and energy efficiency of the device are significantly improved. Specifically, during the operation, the periodic swinging of the oil pumping machine 1 is converted into the mechanical reciprocating motion of the piston structure 41. The compression and release actions of the piston buffer the pressure fluctuation through the pressure stabilizing structure 42. At the same time, the negative pressure structure 43 generates a pressure difference based on the piston motion, forming a dynamic upward pressure increase environment at the wellhead 3. The negative pressure pipe 431 introduces the wellhead 3 fluid or gas into the negative pressure structure 43 through the one-way valve, and the back pressure pipe 432 maintains the stability of the system through the reverse pressure balance. This linkage mechanism realizes the real-time regulation and control of the pressure of the wellhead 3, generates a negative pressure environment, reduces the resistance of the wellbore fluid to the gas-liquid flow, and promotes the continuous flow of oil and gas from the formation to the wellhead 3.
[0043] It can be understood that the walking beam 11 of the oil extractor 1 swings regularly during the oil extraction process, and the swing is transmitted to the input end of the piston structure 41 through a mechanical connection to drive the piston to reciprocate in the cylinder. The compression stroke (moving towards the wellhead 3) of the piston compresses the gas or fluid in the cylinder, and the return stroke (moving away from the wellhead 3) forms a local vacuum in the cylinder, generates suction, and further converts the negative pressure in the negative pressure structure 43 into a pressurization process of the wellhead 3.
[0044] It can also be understood that the input end of the piston structure 41 is in communication with the pressure stabilizing structure 42 through a one-way valve. The pressure stabilizing structure 42 mainly comprises a pressure stabilizing tank 421 and an internal pressure stabilizing component. When the piston is compressed, high-pressure gas enters the pressure stabilizing tank 421 through the one-way valve, and the internal pressure stabilizing component in the tank slows down the high-speed gas flow through a spiral flow channel design and disperses the pressure to avoid the impact of pressure peaks on the downstream system; when the piston returns, the gas in the pressure stabilizing tank 421 flows back to the piston structure 41 through another one-way valve to supplement the vacuum area in the cylinder and maintain the pressure balance of the system.
[0045] Finally, during the piston return stroke, the negative pressure formed in the cylinder is transmitted to the wellhead 3 through the negative pressure pipe 431, and the gas in the wellbore is sucked into the negative pressure pipe 431 and enters the negative pressure cylinder 433. The plug rod 434 slidingly arranged in the negative pressure cylinder 433 cooperates with the elastic member 435, and when the negative pressure pipe 431 sucks the fluid of the wellhead 3, the plug rod 434 is pushed away from the wellhead 3 and moves away from the wellhead 3, compressing the elastic member 435 in the negative pressure cylinder 433. At this time, the back pressure pipe 432 communicates with the side of the negative pressure cylinder 433 away from the wellhead 3 through a one-way valve, releases the excess pressure to the pressure stabilizing structure 42 or the secondary pressure boosting assembly, and avoids the accumulation of pressure in the cylinder.
[0046] The negative pressure pipe 431 and the back pressure pipe 432 are both provided with one-way valves to ensure that the fluid only flows in the designed direction. Specifically, the negative pressure pipe 431 is only opened during the piston return stroke to allow the fluid of the wellhead 3 to enter the negative pressure cylinder 433; the back pressure pipe 432 is opened when the piston is compressed or the pressure in the negative pressure cylinder 433 is too high to guide the pressure to the pressure stabilizing tank 421 or the external environment.
[0047] In some embodiments, the input end of the piston structure 41 is filled with high-pressure nitrogen.
[0048] In some embodiments, the elastic member 435 is preferably a high-pressure spring.
[0049] In the embodiment, the negative pressure structure 43 further comprises a negative pressure cylinder 433, a plug rod 434 is slidably arranged in the negative pressure cylinder 433, an elastic element 435 is arranged on one side of the negative pressure cylinder 433 close to the wellhead 3, the negative pressure pipe 431 is in communication with one side of the negative pressure cylinder 433 close to the wellhead 3, the back pressure pipe 432 is in communication with the other side of the negative pressure cylinder 433 away from the wellhead 3, the plug rod 434 comprises a plug head 436, and the pressure stabilizing structure 42 is in communication with one side of the negative pressure cylinder 433 close to the plug head 436.
[0050] It should be noted that by introducing the cooperative design of the negative pressure cylinder 433, the plug rod 434 and the elastic element 435, the technical problem of pressure imbalance of the wellhead 3 and blocked oil and gas flow caused by wellbore fluid accumulation in the process of increasing production of low-efficiency wells is systematically solved. Specifically, the negative pressure cylinder 433 serves as a core pressure regulating unit, one side of which is in communication with the wellhead 3 through the negative pressure pipe 431, and the other side is connected with the pressure stabilizing structure 42 or the secondary pressure boosting assembly through the back pressure pipe 432. The plug rod 434 is slidably arranged in the negative pressure cylinder 433, one end of which is provided with the plug head 436, and the other end is dynamically connected with the inner wall of the negative pressure cylinder 433 through the elastic element 435. When the walking beam 11 of the oil pumping machine 1 drives the piston structure 41 to reciprocate, a negative pressure is formed in the cylinder during the piston return stroke, and the wellhead 3 fluid or gas is sucked into the negative pressure cylinder 433 through the negative pressure pipe 431. At this time, the wellhead 3 fluid pushes the plug rod 434 to move away from the wellhead 3, compresses the elastic element 435, and forms a controllable negative pressure space in the negative pressure cylinder 433, thereby avoiding the problem of crack plugging caused by long-time pressurization, etc. Not only is the pressure of the wellhead 3 actively reduced, but also the energy storage characteristics of the elastic element 435 buffer the pressure fluctuation, avoiding the influence of instantaneous pressure impact on the stability of the system. At the same time, the back pressure pipe 432 guides the excess pressure to the pressure stabilizing structure 42 or the outside through the one-way valve when the pressure in the negative pressure cylinder 433 is too high, further maintaining the pressure balance.
[0051] It should be further noted that the periodic swing of the oil pumping machine 1 is converted into the reciprocating motion of the plug rod 434 in the negative pressure cylinder 433 through mechanical linkage, and the pressure regulation is directly realized by using the power of the oil well itself without relying on external high-pressure equipment, thereby significantly reducing energy consumption and cost. Secondly, the introduction of the elastic element 435 realizes dynamic pressure compensation, smooths the pressure change during the piston compression and release process, and solves the problem of easy failure of the traditional packer 7 in the dynamic pressure environment. In addition, the partition design of the negative pressure cylinder 433 combined with the directional control of the one-way valve ensures that the fluid only flows along the preset path, not only avoiding backflow interference, but also preventing system overload through the pressure release mechanism of the back pressure pipe 432. This design also enables the wellhead 3 pressure to respond to the piston motion state in real time, forming a dynamic pressurization environment, continuously promoting the flow of oil and gas from the formation to the wellhead 3, and effectively overcoming the resistance of wellbore fluid accumulation to gas-liquid flow.
[0052] In the embodiment, the pressure stabilizing structure 42 comprises a pressure stabilizing tank 421, in which a pressure stabilizing component is arranged, and two ends of the pressure stabilizing tank 421 are respectively communicated with the negative pressure cylinder 433 and the piston structure 41.
[0053] In some embodiments, one end of the pressure stabilizing tank 421 is communicated with the input end of the piston structure 41, and the other end is connected with the negative pressure cylinder 433, forming a two-way channel for pressure transmission and buffering. The pressure stabilizing component arranged in the pressure stabilizing tank 421 can slow down, disperse and equalize the high-pressure airflow generated in the compression stage of the piston through a multi-channel structure, so as to avoid the direct impact of the pressure peak on the negative pressure cylinder 433 and downstream components, thereby preventing sealing failure or equipment damage.
[0054] In the piston return stage, the stable pressure stored in the pressure stabilizing tank 421 is returned to the piston structure 41 through a one-way valve, so as to supplement the pressure difference caused by the cylinder vacuum and maintain the dynamic balance of the system pressure. Not only the active buffering of pressure fluctuation is realized, but also the airflow control efficiency is improved through the flow channel optimization of the pressure stabilizing component, so as to ensure the continuity and stability of pressure transmission.
[0055] It can be understood that the conventional low-efficiency well stimulation device is prone to cause sealing failure of the packer 7 or pressure imbalance of the wellhead 3 due to pressure mutation in the reciprocating motion of the piston. The introduction of the pressure stabilizing tank 421 can convert the transient high pressure into controllable steady pressure output through the way of physical storage and staged release, thereby significantly reducing the sensitivity of the system to dynamic pressure change.
[0056] It can also be understood that the multi-channel design in the pressure stabilizing component can accelerate the local airflow and form a low-pressure area through the Venturi effect, thereby further optimizing the pressure distribution and solving the problem of uneven pressure dispersion caused by the single flow channel of the traditional pressure stabilizing device, so as to improve the adaptability to complex pressure environment. In addition, the linkage design of the pressure stabilizing tank 421 with the piston structure 41 and the negative pressure cylinder 433 enables the system to automatically adjust the pressure by using the mechanical energy of the piston motion, thereby reducing the dependence on additional pressure boosting equipment (such as an external high-pressure pump) and reducing energy consumption and operating cost.
[0057] In the embodiment, the pressure stabilizing structure 42 is connected with a two-stage negative pressure stimulation assembly 6, which comprises a pressure boosting tank 62, the pressure boosting tank 62 is communicated with the side of the negative pressure cylinder 433 away from the plug 436 through a one-way valve, and nitrogen is introduced into the pressure boosting tank 62.
[0058] Nitrogen gas is introduced into the booster tank 62 as a pressurizing medium, which avoids the problems of oxidation corrosion, icing or flow channel blockage caused by oxygen and moisture in traditional air medium, and the high stability and compressibility of nitrogen gas significantly improve the accuracy and response speed of pressure regulation. Through the synergistic effect of nitrogen gas and the booster turbine 615, the system can realize stable gas compression and storage in a high-pressure environment, and dynamically adjust the output pressure through the one-way valve to ensure the continuous stability of the wellhead 3 under negative pressure environment.
[0059] In this embodiment, the secondary negative pressure stimulation assembly 6 further comprises a booster 61, both ends of which are communicated with the booster tank 62 and the pressure stabilizing structure 42 through one-way valves respectively.
[0060] In some embodiments, the booster 61 comprises an internally hollow booster seat 611, which comprises a negative pressure area 612 and a booster area 613 respectively, and a rotating shaft 614 is arranged in the booster seat 611, both sides of the rotating shaft 614 are provided with a booster turbine 615 and a negative pressure turbine respectively, the booster turbine 615 is arranged in the booster area 613, and the negative pressure turbine is arranged in the negative pressure area 612, the gas outlet of the booster area 613 is communicated with the booster tank 62, and the gas inlet of the negative pressure area 612 is communicated with the pressure stabilizing structure 42.
[0061] The booster 61 is the core unit of the secondary negative pressure stimulation assembly 6, both ends of which are communicated with the booster tank 62 and the pressure stabilizing structure 42 through one-way valves to form a closed-loop pressure regulation system. The booster 61 is internally designed with a hollow booster seat 611, which is divided into a negative pressure area 612 and a booster area 613, and a booster turbine 615 and a negative pressure turbine are linked through a rotating shaft 614. When the gas flow from the pressure stabilizing structure 42 enters the negative pressure area 612, the negative pressure turbine is driven to rotate by the fluid kinetic energy, accelerates the gas flow rate and further reduces the local pressure, forming a more significant negative pressure gradient; at the same time, the booster turbine 615 rotates in the booster area 613 to compress the gas, which is then delivered to the booster tank 62 after its pressure is increased. This process not only realizes efficient energy conversion and reuse, but also dynamically balances the pressure difference through the synergistic effect of the double turbines to ensure stable operation of the system under complex pressure environment. The configuration of the one-way valve strictly limits the direction of the gas flow, avoids backflow interference, and maintains the one-way nature and continuity of the booster and negative pressure processes.
[0062] It can be understood that the double-turbine cooperative working mechanism significantly improves the supercharging efficiency. Through the active decompression of the negative pressure area 612 and the accurate pressurization of the supercharging area 613, a dynamic and stable pressure difference environment is formed, which effectively promotes the discharge of wellbore accumulation and the continuous flow of oil and gas. Secondly, the optimization of the energy conversion path greatly reduces the system energy consumption. The supercharging turbine 615 is driven by fluid kinetic energy, without the need for external power or hydraulic support, which not only reduces operating costs, but also enhances the applicability of the device in remote well sites. Thirdly, the closed-loop pressure regulation system, through the cooperation of the one-way valve and the supercharging tank 62, realizes the active absorption and redistribution of pressure fluctuations, avoiding equipment wear or seal failure caused by sudden pressure changes, and prolonging the service life of key components. Fourthly, the modular design of the supercharging part 61 can be seamlessly integrated with the primary negative pressure component. By filling nitrogen into the supercharging tank 62, the pressure control flexibility is further improved, making the device adaptable to complex conditions of different well depths, accumulation amounts, and formation permeability.
[0063] In some embodiments, the inside of the pressure stabilizer is provided with a plurality of flow channels.
[0064] It can be understood that the throat design of the Venturi tube causes the flow rate of nitrogen to increase sharply when it passes through this area. According to Bernoulli's principle, the increase in flow rate leads to a significant decrease in local pressure, forming a low-pressure area, thereby efficiently absorbing nitrogen during the piston compression stage. In the expansion section, the flow rate slows down and the pressure gradually recovers. Combined with the flow guiding effect of the spiral flow channel, nitrogen forms a rotating flow in the flow channel, reducing turbulent energy loss and achieving a smooth pressure recovery. This process balances the relationship between flow rate and pressure change through precise control of the throat diameter ratio, avoiding excessive flow resistance caused by a too narrow throat, and ensuring the continuity of pressure recovery in the expansion section, thereby maintaining a stable pressure gradient under the dynamic condition of intermittent nitrogen injection.
[0065] When the piston is compressed, nitrogen is pushed into the converging section of the Venturi tube at high speed, and the low-pressure area formed by the sudden increase in flow rate effectively absorbs the accumulation or gas in the wellbore. At the same time, the spiral flow channel enhances the gas-liquid mixing efficiency by guiding fluid rotation, reducing pressure fluctuations caused by local vortex. When the piston returns, the pressure recovery mechanism of the expansion section and the inertial effect of the spiral flow channel work together to make the nitrogen pressure rise smoothly into the pressure stabilizing tank 421, avoiding the impact of sudden pressure changes on downstream components.
[0066] In this embodiment, the integrated device further includes a packer 7, which includes a pressure-sensitive bellows 71 and a hydraulic component 72. The hydraulic component 72 is arranged in the packer 7 and is used to control the pressure change of different sealing sections of the packer 7.
[0067] The traditional packer 7 usually adopts rigid sealing rings or passive elastomers, which are difficult to adapt to the non-uniform pressure distribution in the well, especially in the horizontal well or multi-layer segmented exploitation scene, and are prone to sealing failure or casing damage due to pressure difference. The active deformation capability of the pressure-sensitive bellows 71 combined with the precise regulation of the hydraulic assembly 72 realizes independent pressure management of each packer section, solving the limitations of the traditional "one-size-fits-all" sealing. Secondly, the closed-loop control system of the hydraulic assembly 72 breaks through the technical bottleneck of slow response speed and low regulation precision of the traditional packer 7 through real-time pressure feedback and dynamic adjustment.
[0068] Under the impact of gas-liquid two-phase flow, the system can adjust the deformation amount of the bellows within milliseconds to balance the instantaneous pressure fluctuation and avoid the generation of sealing gaps. In addition, the multi-layer structure design of the pressure-sensitive bellows 71 enhances the anti-creep and anti-fatigue performance, and can still maintain stable deformation response in a long-term high-pressure environment, significantly prolonging the service life of the packer 7.
[0069] In some embodiments, the nitrogen gas inlet of the piston structure 41, the nitrogen gas inlet of the booster 61, and the nitrogen gas inlet of the booster area 613 are connected.
[0070] In this embodiment, the negative pressure pipe 431 and the flow channels inside the pressure stabilizer are all Venturi tubes with spiral flow channels, and the throat diameter ratio is 1:8.
[0071] It can be understood that the spiral flow channel forces the fluid to flow in a rotational manner along the axis through the internal spiral groove or guide vane. This rotational motion generates centrifugal force, causing the fluid to flow close to the pipe wall, significantly reducing boundary layer separation and turbulence generation. At the same time, the spiral flow extends the fluid's path in the flow channel, enhancing the conversion efficiency of kinetic energy and static pressure energy. For example, during the suction stage of the negative pressure pipe 431, the spiral flow channel guides the wellbore fluid to form a vortex flow, accelerating gas-liquid separation and reducing flow resistance; while during the pressure recovery stage of the pressure stabilizer, the inertial effect of the spiral flow channel helps to smoothly release kinetic energy, avoiding sudden pressure changes.
[0072] Design of the contraction section: The sharp contraction of the throat cross-sectional area (the diameter is reduced to 1 / 8 of the inlet) greatly increases the fluid velocity. According to Bernoulli's principle, the increase in flow velocity leads to a significant decrease in local static pressure, forming an efficient negative pressure suction environment, especially suitable for rapid discharge of wellbore fluid.
[0073] Design of the expansion section: The expansion section after the throat realizes a smooth conversion of kinetic energy to static pressure energy with a gradual change in cross-sectional area (gradually restored to the original diameter in proportion). The 1:8 throat diameter ratio controls the expansion angle to avoid flow separation and energy loss caused by rapid expansion, ensuring the continuity of the pressure recovery process.
