However, new geological conditions (such as high salinity, easy corrosion, easy scaling, and eccentric wear in inclined wells), high maintenance costs, difficult control of liquid production volume, and other characteristics, as well as the existing downhole horse pumps during operation, have insufficient running stroke stability of the plunger, and the motor is easily damaged due to frequent impacts, with a short service life. At the same time, the pump barrel and plunger structure of the existing equipment are not reasonably designed, and the intermediate pull rod has insufficient stiffness and is easily broken during use, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of hydraulic-driven downhole motor pump for deep-earth (pump setting depth of 2,000 - 3,800 meters) coalbed methane extraction to solve the above problems.

[0003] Therefore, the applicant considers providing a hydraulic-driven downhole motor pump for deep-earth coalbed methane extraction, which can meet the requirements of extending the service life of the device, preventing the plunger from getting stuck during work, scaling between the valve ball and valve seat, and being able to be used for drainage in different deep wells (pump setting depth of 2,000 - 3,800 meters).

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2: The present invention is a hydraulic-driven downhole motor pump device for deep coalbed methane extraction, and its structural features are as follows: The setting packer head and the setting joint 3 are sealed by the setting seal 4. The outer pipe of the double-layer pipe string is threadedly connected to the upper joint 2, and then threadedly connected to the outer pipe short joint 5. The upper joint 2 is threadedly connected to the outer pipe short joint 5. The inner upper end of the diversion joint 6 is threadedly connected to the setting joint 3, and the outer upper end is threadedly connected to the outer pipe short joint 5. The inner lower end of the diversion joint is threadedly connected to the motor plunger pump barrel 9, and the outer lower end is threadedly connected to the motor outer pipe 7, and the upper buffer seat 8 is connected directly below. The upper end of the motor plunger 11 is threadedly connected to the upper buffer 10. The upper buffer 10 is provided with a downward starting port, and the lower end is threadedly connected to the upper floating valve 1. The upper floating valve ball 13 is located inside the upper floating valve 12. The upper floating valve 12 is threadedly connected to the pump long plunger 16, and the lower buffer 14 is connected directly below. The upper surface of the lower buffer 14 is provided with an upward starting port. The pump long plunger 16 is threadedly connected to the lower floating valve seat 19. The lower floating valve ball 20 is located inside the lower floating valve seat 19. The upper end of the intermediate joint 15 is respectively threadedly connected to the motor outer pipe 7 and the motor plunger pump barrel 9. The upper end of the intermediate joint 15 and the motor outer pipe 7 form a sand settling cavity. The lower end is respectively threadedly connected to the short pump barrel 17 and the motor pump outer pipe 18. The motor pump outer pipe 18 is threadedly connected to the lower joint 21. The short pump barrel 17 is threadedly connected to the fixed valve connecting pipe 23. The fixed valve connecting pipe 23 is threadedly connected to the fixed valve seat 22. The fixed valve 25 is located inside the fixed valve seat 22. The screen pipe joint is threadedly connected to the lower joint 21 through the lower pipe joint.

[0024] Its working method features are as follows: The hydraulic-driven downhole motor pump device for deep coalbed methane extraction overcomes the deficiencies and disadvantages existing in the existing extraction technology in terms of design. The entire drainage and production device consists of the following parts: power fluid delivery device, downhole motor plunger pump group, buffer device, etc. The drainage and production process of the entire device can be divided into two states: the upstroke and the downstroke.

[0025] Upstroke: The power fluid is pressurized into high-pressure power fluid by the ground power device and injected from the central oil pipe of the double-layer pipe string. After passing through the annular space formed by the upper end of the diversion joint 6 and the motor plunger pump barrel 9 and the motor outer pipe 7, it enters through the upward starting port and pushes the motor plunger 11 upward. When the upper buffer 10 enters the upper buffer seat 8 and the downhole motor pump reaches the top dead center, the upstroke ends. At this time, the fixed valve 25 of the downhole motor pump opens, the lower floating valve 19 closes, the upper floating valve 12 closes, and the downhole motor pump completes the liquid suction process. The liquid above the upper floating valve 12 is drained to the ground through the annulus of the double-layer pipe string channel. The ground production phenomenon is the liquid output state.

[0026] Downstroke: The power fluid is pressurized into high-pressure power fluid by the surface power device and injected into the annular space of the double-layer pipe string. It enters the downward starting port at the upper end of the motor plunger 11 through the side of the diversion joint 6 and pushes the motor plunger 11 downward. When the lower buffer 14 enters the buffer seat of the intermediate joint 15 and the downhole motor pump reaches the bottom dead center, the downstroke ends. At this time, the fixed valve 25 of the downhole motor pump closes, the upper floating valve 12 opens, the lower floating valve 19 opens, and the produced fluid enters the pump chamber between the upper floating valve 12 and the lower floating valve 19. Then, the upstroke behavior is repeated. After the produced fluid and the exhausted power fluid in the pump chamber of the motor plunger pump with double floating valves are mixed, they flow back to the ground through the annulus of the double-layer pipe string.

[0027] The above is only the preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
