Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of downhole operation tools, and in particular to an oil-water valve-controlled pipe string and a same-well injection-production process method using the pipe string. Background Art

[0002] The same-well injection-production technology is an important technical measure to achieve economically sustainable production in the late stage of oil fields with extremely high water cut.

[0003] The same-well injection-production technology mainly uses downhole packers to separate the production layer and the reinjection layer to form two independent pressure systems. The oil production pump and water injection pump are arranged downhole to operate simultaneously.

[0004] However, current downhole oil-water separation and simultaneous injection and production technologies have also revealed many shortcomings through field trials. For example, the existing technology uses dual pumps in a single well, which is expensive. Furthermore, driving the dual pumps simultaneously requires high torque, which costs around 300,000 yuan to achieve this output capacity. The power supply cost is also very high, making it unfavorable for future industrial promotion and application.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an oil-water valve-controlled pipe string that can be used in conjunction with a single injection and production pump to achieve the process distribution of water extraction, oil production and reinjection. Summary of the Invention

[0020] A same-well injection and production process method, using the above-mentioned oil-water valve to control the injection and production string;

[0021] The same-well injection-production process comprises the following steps:

[0022] First, connect the inlet of the injection pump to the upper pipe to form a combined pipeline for the water and oil extraction pipelines. The top of the piston sleeve contacts the third sealing surface at the bottom of the oil-water valve sleeve to form an oil extraction valve, and the head of the valve core contacts the second sealing surface at the bottom of the oil-water pipe to form a water extraction valve.

[0023] Then, the outlet end of the injection pump is divided into two paths. One path is connected to the production pipeline pumped out of the surface, and a production valve is installed on the production pipeline. The other path is connected to the first annular flow channel as a reinjection pipeline pumped into the well. The conical valve head and the first sealing surface cooperate to form a reinjection valve.

[0024] During water injection operation: hydraulic pressure is injected into the injection channel. A part of the hydraulic pressure enters the upper pressure chamber, pushing the piston part to drive the valve stem and the conical valve head downward, so that the conical valve head is separated from the first sealing surface, thereby opening the return valve. The other part of the hydraulic pressure enters the piston chamber through the fourth channel, the pressure transmission pipe, the second channel, and the pressure transmission channel, pushing the piston cylinder to drive the oil-water valve sleeve and the valve core downward, so that the valve core head is separated from the second sealing surface, thereby opening the water intake valve and making the top of the piston sleeve contact and cooperate with the bottom of the oil-water valve sleeve to close the oil intake valve.

[0025] Downhole water enters the oil-water pipe through the lower pipe, the inner cavity of the valve core, and the second through hole, and then enters the injection pump through the inner cavity of the bridge joint and the upper pipe. The injection pump then injects water back into the downhole water injection layer through the first annular flow channel, the first through hole, the first channel, the upper flow channel, the lower flow channel, and the external water injection channel;

[0026] During oil production operation: open the production valve and stop injecting hydraulic pressure into the injection and pressure channel. The well pressure enters the lower piston chamber through the external water injection channel and the well pressure channel, pushing the piston cylinder to drive the oil-water valve sleeve and the valve core upward, so that the head of the valve core contacts the second sealing surface, thereby closing the water intake valve and separating the top of the piston sleeve from the bottom of the oil-water valve sleeve, opening the oil intake valve;

[0027] The well pressure also enters the lower pressure chamber through the lower flow channel of the external water injection channel, the upper flow channel, the first channel, and the upper water injection channel, thereby pushing the piston to drive the valve stem and the conical valve head upward, so that the conical valve head contacts and cooperates with the first sealing surface, thereby closing the re-injection valve;

[0028] The oil in the well enters the oil-water pipe cavity through the internal oil production channel, gap flow channel, oil flow channel, and oil hole, and then enters the injection pump through the inner cavity of the bridge joint and the inner cavity of the upper pipe. The injection pump pumps the oil to the ground through the production pipeline.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0030] The oil-water valve control string integrates the back-injection valve, oil extraction valve and water extraction valve. When the back-injection valve is opened, the water extraction valve can be opened in conjunction with it, and when the water extraction valve is opened, the oil extraction valve can be closed in conjunction with it, making the switching between oil production and water extraction and injection operations more convenient and flexible, laying the foundation for the realization of the same-well injection and production technology.

[0031] This process method can adopt a single pump operation structure with high stability. The single pump is matched with a set of oil production pipelines and a set of separation water reinjection pipelines. The oil production operation and water injection operation can be switched at will according to the operation needs. It is very flexible and convenient. More importantly, the use of a single pump in the same well to drive the pump has much lower requirements than a single machine to drive two pumps. Therefore, the production and maintenance costs are also much lower. This is also the main reason for the large-scale promotion. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0055] This embodiment is further optimized based on the above embodiment, specifically:

An annular oil intake channel 22 is formed between the oil intake pipe 48 and the water intake pipe 47.

[0058] like Figure 5 This embodiment adopts the same-well injection and production process method of the oil-water valve-controlled injection and production string in the above embodiment.

[0059] The process specifically comprises the following steps:

[0060] First, the inlet of the injection pump 57 is connected to the upper pipe 1 as a combined pipeline of the water intake pipeline and the oil intake pipeline. The top of the piston sleeve 17 contacts the third sealing surface 41 at the bottom of the oil-water valve sleeve 15 to form an oil intake valve 51, and the head of the valve core 40 contacts the second sealing surface 39 at the bottom of the oil-water pipe 13 to form a water intake valve 50.

[0061] Then, the outlet end of the injection pump 57 is divided into two paths, one of which is connected to the production pipeline pumped out of the ground, and a production valve 58 is installed on the production pipeline, and the other is connected to the first annular space flow channel 23 as a reinjection pipeline pumped into the well, and the conical valve head 3 and the first sealing surface 25 are combined to form a reinjection valve 49.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 During the water injection operation: hydraulic pressure is injected into the injection channel 24, and a part of the hydraulic pressure enters the upper pressure chamber 28 to push the piston part 29 to drive the valve stem 5 and the conical valve head 3 downward, so that the conical valve head 3 is separated from the first sealing surface 25, thereby opening the back-injection valve 49, and the other part of the hydraulic pressure enters the upper piston chamber 38 through the fourth channel 32, the pressure transmission pipe 33, the second channel 35, and the pressure transmission channel 36, pushing the piston cylinder 14 to drive the oil-water valve sleeve 15 and the valve core 40 downward, so that the head of the valve core 40 is separated from the second sealing surface 39, thereby opening the water intake valve 50, and at the same time making the top of the piston sleeve 17 contact and cooperate with the bottom of the oil-water valve sleeve 15, closing the oil intake valve 51.

[0063] Downhole water enters the oil-water pipe 13 through the lower pipe 44, the inner cavity of the valve core 40, and the second through hole 56, and then enters the injection pump 57 through the inner cavity of the bridge joint 8 and the upper pipe 1, and is then re-injected into the downhole water injection layer by the injection pump 57 through the first annular space flow channel 23, the first through hole 26, the second annular space flow channel 27, the first channel 34, the upper flow channel 12, the lower flow channel 16, and the external water injection channel 20.

[0064] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 During oil production operations: the production valve 58 is opened, and the injection of hydraulic pressure into the injection and pressure channel 24 is stopped. The well pressure enters the lower piston chamber 52 through the external water injection channel 20 and the well pressure channel 53, pushing the piston cylinder 14 to drive the oil-water valve sleeve 15 and the valve core 40 upward, so that the head of the valve core 40 contacts the second sealing surface 39, thereby closing the water intake valve 50 and separating the top of the piston sleeve 17 from the bottom of the oil-water valve sleeve 15, opening the oil intake valve 51.

[0065] The well pressure also enters the lower pressure chamber 30 through the external water injection channel 20, the lower flow channel 16, the upper flow channel 12, the first channel 34, and the upper water injection channel 7, thereby pushing the piston part 29 to drive the valve stem 5 and the conical valve head 3 upward, so that the conical valve head 3 contacts and cooperates with the first sealing surface 25, thereby closing the re-injection valve 49.

[0066] The oil in the well enters the oil-water pipe 13 cavity through the internal oil production channel 45, the gap flow channel 18, the oil flow channel 55, and the oil hole 54, and then enters the injection pump 57 through the inner cavity of the bridge joint 8 and the inner cavity of the upper pipe 1. The injection pump 57 pumps the oil to the ground through the production pipeline.

[0067] Through the design of this tubing string, the re-injection valve 49, the oil extraction valve 51 and the water extraction valve 50 can be opened and closed. When the re-injection valve 49 is opened, the water extraction valve 50 can be opened in conjunction with it, and when the water extraction valve 50 is opened, the oil extraction valve 51 can be closed in conjunction with it, making the switching between oil production and water extraction and injection operations more convenient and flexible, laying the foundation for realizing the same-well injection and production technology.

[0068] This process method can adopt a single pump operation structure with high stability. The single pump is matched with a set of oil production pipelines and a set of separation water reinjection pipelines. The oil production operation and water injection operation can be switched at will according to the operation needs. It is very flexible and convenient. More importantly, the use of a single pump in the same well to drive the pump has much lower requirements than a single machine to drive two pumps. Therefore, the production and maintenance costs are also much lower. This is also the main reason for the large-scale promotion.

[0069] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The contents after the changes still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

5. A same-well injection-production process, characterized by: An oil-water valve control string according to any one of claims 1 to 4 is used; The same-well injection-production process comprises the following steps: First, connect the inlet of the injection pump to the upper pipe to form a combined pipeline for the water and oil extraction pipelines. The top of the piston sleeve contacts the third sealing surface at the bottom of the oil-water valve sleeve to form an oil extraction valve, and the head of the valve core contacts the second sealing surface at the bottom of the oil-water pipe to form a water extraction valve. Then, the outlet end of the injection pump is divided into two paths. One path is connected to the production pipeline pumped out of the surface, and a production valve is installed on the production pipeline. The other path is connected to the first annular flow channel as a reinjection pipeline pumped into the well. The conical valve head and the first sealing surface cooperate to form a reinjection valve. During water injection operation: hydraulic pressure is injected into the injection channel. A part of the hydraulic pressure enters the upper pressure chamber, pushing the piston part to drive the valve stem and the conical valve head downward, so that the conical valve head is separated from the first sealing surface, thereby opening the return valve. The other part of the hydraulic pressure enters the piston chamber through the fourth channel, the pressure transmission pipe, the second channel, and the pressure transmission channel, pushing the piston cylinder to drive the oil-water valve sleeve and the valve core downward, so that the valve core head is separated from the second sealing surface, thereby opening the water intake valve and making the top of the piston sleeve contact and cooperate with the bottom of the oil-water valve sleeve to close the oil intake valve. Downhole water enters the oil-water pipe through the lower pipe, the inner cavity of the valve core, and the second through hole, and then enters the injection pump through the inner cavity of the bridge joint and the upper pipe. The injection pump then injects water back into the downhole water injection layer through the first annular flow channel, the first through hole, the first channel, the upper flow channel, the lower flow channel, and the external water injection channel; During oil production operation: open the production valve and stop injecting hydraulic pressure into the injection and pressure channel. The well pressure enters the lower piston chamber through the external water injection channel and the well pressure channel, pushing the piston cylinder to drive the oil-water valve sleeve and the valve core upward, so that the head of the valve core contacts the second sealing surface, thereby closing the water intake valve and separating the top of the piston sleeve from the bottom of the oil-water valve sleeve, opening the oil intake valve; The well pressure also enters the lower pressure chamber through the lower flow channel of the external water injection channel, the upper flow channel, the first channel, and the upper water injection channel, thereby pushing the piston to drive the valve stem and the conical valve head upward, so that the conical valve head contacts and cooperates with the first sealing surface, thereby closing the re-injection valve; The oil in the well enters the oil-water pipe cavity through the internal oil production channel, gap flow channel, oil flow channel, and oil hole, and then enters the injection pump through the inner cavity of the bridge joint and the inner cavity of the upper pipe. The injection pump pumps the oil to the ground through the production pipeline.
