Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of natural gas development, and in particular relates to a drainage and gas production lifting system for coalbed methane wells. Background Art

[0002] Coalbed methane (CBM) refers to a hydrocarbon gas stored in coal seams, primarily composed of methane, adsorbed on the surface of coal particles, with some remaining free in coal pores or dissolved in coalbed water. It is an associated mineral resource with coal and is considered an unconventional natural gas. One method of extracting CBM is through surface in-situ extraction, which involves drilling drainage wells. CBM well extraction involves a process of continuous depressurization and drainage.

[0003] Currently, domestic coalbed methane (CBM) production equipment largely relies on rod pumping technology from oilfields. The development of CBM production systems and the selection of equipment are largely based on past experience, and a comprehensive and mature production technology system tailored to specific geological conditions has yet to be established. Consequently, rod pumping currently accounts for over 98% of CBM wells, but this technology presents numerous challenges.

[0004] Because the rod pumping system in related technologies cannot meet the rapid changes in formation fluid production, it is difficult to adjust the drainage system in a timely manner. It cannot meet the slow, long-term, continuous, and stable drainage requirements of coalbed methane wells in different production stages. While meeting the requirements for timely adjustment of the drainage system, it is also necessary to solve the problem of automatically controlling the drainage intensity and controlling the operation according to the requirements of the two types of drainage management systems: fixed pressure or fixed production. Traditional single-well pumping occupies a large area; there are many transmission links, short strokes, and high stroke rates, which result in low system efficiency and high energy consumption. Rod and tubing eccentric wear seriously shortens the service life of rods and tubing. Rod pump technology is relatively mature, but it is easily affected by sand and gas production, resulting in severe pump wear and reduced pump efficiency. The output of solid particles can cause the tubing pump to jam, increasing operating costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to solve one of the related technical problems at least to a certain extent.

The self-cleaning guiding fixed valve is arranged between the disc-type liquid-gas separator and the double-closed structure plunger. Both the double-closed structure plunger and the self-cleaning guiding fixed valve are arranged inside the conical pump barrel.

[0013] Further, the side wall inclination angle of the conical pump barrel is 5°-10°.

[0014] Furthermore, the drum-type mechanical pumping and gas drainage device includes a truss support, a wellhead guiding pulley, an adjusting tie rod, a foundation base, a drum structure, a motor, a speed reducer, a rope arranging mechanism, and a moving base.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the drainage gas production lifting system for coalbed methane wells of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0021] 1. It consists of a drum-type mechanical pumping and gas-lift device, a polished rod structure adapted thereto, and a directional flow channel plunger-type gas-liquid separation system. Due to the increase in the well deviation angle, it affects the setting depth of the sucker rod pump, especially for the ultra-long stroke sucker rod pump, which can meet the requirements of the pump setting depth for drainage gas production in coalbed methane wells to the greatest extent. Adding a tail pipe reduces the utilization of the pump inlet and uses the siphon principle.

[0022] 2. The gas separation principle of the disc-type gas anchor is that the gas collection disc is used as a bubble trap. After the bubbles are gathered, the centrifugal effect during the 90° turning of the liquid flow is utilized to separate the liquid and gas. When the gas accumulates and overflows in the disc, large bubbles are formed, which float along the inner wall of the gas anchor housing to the gas cap and then reach the annulus between the tubing and the casing through the exhaust hole, while the liquid enters the pump through the suction hole into the suction pipe.

[0032] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0033] A drainage gas-lift system for a coalbed methane well, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, includes a drum-type mechanical pumping drainage and gas production device and a mechanical pumping drainage and gas-lift system; the output end of the drum-type mechanical pumping drainage and gas production device is connected to the load-bearing rope 22 of the mechanical pumping drainage and gas-lift system; the mechanical pumping drainage and gas-lift system includes a first tubing structure 36, a polished rod structure for pumping oil, and a directional flow channel plunger-type gas-water separation and production system. The first tubing structure 36 is arranged in the gas wellbore, the polished rod structure for pumping oil is arranged inside the first tubing structure 36, the bottom of the polished rod structure for pumping oil is connected to the continuous rod 41 of the directional flow channel plunger-type gas-water separation and production system, and the top of the directional flow channel plunger-type gas-water separation and production system is detachably connected to the first tubing structure 36;

[0034] The polished rod structure for pumping oil includes a load-bearing rope 22, a sealing sleeve 28, a diversion short joint 29, a positioning short joint 30, and a dynamic sealing structure. One end of the load-bearing rope 22 is connected to the output end of the drum-type mechanical pumping drainage and gas production device, the other end of the load-bearing rope 22 is connected to the dynamic sealing structure, the dynamic sealing structure is slidably arranged inside the sealing sleeve 28, the dynamic sealing structure is connected to the continuous rod 41, and the bottom of the sealing sleeve 28 is provided with the diversion short joint 29 and the positioning short joint 30, and the positioning short joint 30 is detachably connected to the bottom of the first tubing structure 36.

[0035] The dynamic sealing structure includes a first sealing plunger 24 and a second sealing plunger 25. The top of the first sealing plunger 24 is connected to the load-bearing rope 22 through a thimble 23, the bottom of the first sealing plunger 24 is provided with the second sealing plunger 25, and the second sealing plunger 25 is connected to the continuous rod 41.

[0036] The directional flow channel plunger type gas-liquid separation production system includes a second tubing structure, a continuous sucker rod 41, a connecting structure, a sucker rod 44, a pump draw rod 45, a conical pump barrel 37, a double-closed structure plunger 46, a disc type liquid-gas separator 39 and a self-cleaning guiding fixed valve 38. The top of the second tubing structure is detachably connected to the bottom of the first tubing structure 36, and the bottom of the second tubing structure is connected to the conical pump barrel 37. The disc type liquid-gas separator 39 is arranged at the bottom of the conical pump barrel 37. The top of the continuous sucker rod 41 is connected to the second sealing plunger 25, and the bottom of the continuous sucker rod 41 is connected to the sucker rod 44 through the connecting structure. The bottom of the sucker rod 44 is connected to the double-closed structure plunger 46 through the pump draw rod 45. Both the disc type liquid-gas separator 39 and the self-cleaning guiding fixed valve 38 are located below the double-closed structure plunger 46. The self-cleaning guiding fixed valve 38 is arranged between the disc type liquid-gas separator 39 and the double-closed structure plunger 46. Both the double-closed structure plunger 46 and the self-cleaning guiding fixed valve 38 are arranged in the conical pump barrel 37. The side wall inclination angle of the conical pump barrel 37 is 5°-10°.

[0037] The conical pump barrel 37 is composed of two parts: a conical section and an equal-diameter section. The conical section is located above the equal-diameter section of the pump barrel. Since the stroke length reaches more than 15m, during the upstroke, the plunger runs in the equal-diameter part of the pump barrel for most of the time. Once the conical section of the pump barrel is exposed from the bottom of the double-closed structure plunger 46, the gap between the double-closed structure plunger 46 and the inner wall of the pump barrel will suddenly increase and show an increasing trend as the double-closed structure plunger 46 continues to move upward. Therefore, starting from when the conical section of the pump barrel is exposed from the bottom of the plunger, the gas accumulated in the pump barrel is gradually displaced by the well fluid in the high-pressure area above the movable valve. The displacement process may continue until the plunger reaches the top dead center. The pumping unit can stay at the top dead center position for a certain time according to the actual situation to make the gas-liquid displacement more sufficient. The displacement process may also end in advance, which depends on the amount of gas accumulated in the pump barrel. At the same time, as the process of mutual displacement between the gas in the pump barrel and the well fluid in the high-pressure area above the movable valve progresses, the pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the movable valve will gradually decrease, making the pressures above and below the movable valve in a balanced state. Therefore, during the downstroke, the movable valve of the plunger will open in time to avoid the phenomenon of delayed opening of the movable valve. The plunger adopts a double-closed structure. A closed valve cover is added between the upper opening valve cover and the plunger, and the valve ball is installed in this closed valve cover. When the valve ball opens during the upstroke, it can avoid the impact of the valve ball on the opening valve cover, effectively reducing the risk of fracture of the upper valve cover. The fixed valve assembly adopts a spring guiding structure to ensure that the fixed valve ball of the oil pump can open and close freely and the valve seat can maintain sealing when the well deviation angle ≤ 65°. There are obliquely downward holes on the self-cleaning cover of the fixed valve. When the flowing well fluid passes through these oblique holes during the upstroke, it will scour the bottom annulus of the pump downward, realizing the self-cleaning function, making it difficult for coal powder to deposit in this annulus, improving the pump efficiency, and preventing the problem of no liquid discharge due to coal powder clogging the fixed valve.

[0038] The disc-type liquid-gas separator 39 uses a gas-collecting disc to capture bubbles. After the bubbles are aggregated, the centrifugal effect during the 90° turn of the liquid flow is utilized to separate the liquid and gas. When the gas accumulates and overflows in the disc, large bubbles are formed and float upward along the inner wall of the gas anchor housing to the gas cap, and then reach the oil-casing annulus through the exhaust hole. The liquid enters the suction pipe from the suction hole and then enters the pump barrel of the sucker rod pump. The small-diameter tail pipe connected to the bottom end of the disc-type gas anchor is used to solve the problem that the increase in the well deviation angle affects the setting depth of the sucker rod pump, and it can meet the requirements of the pump setting depth for gas drainage and gas production in coalbed methane wells to the greatest extent. Adding the tail pipe uses the siphon principle to lower the pump inlet and achieve the purpose of deepening the pump setting.

[0039] The gas production wellhead is provided with a tubing head cross 35 and a Christmas tree cross 27. The upper flange at the top of the tubing head cross 35 is fixedly connected to the lower flange at the bottom of the Christmas tree cross 27. A tubing hanger 34 is arranged inside the upper flange of the tubing head cross 35, and the lower end of the tubing hanger 34 is connected to the first tubing structure 36 and the second tubing structure.

[0040] The downhole sealing working barrel is suspended in the upper flange of the Christmas tree cross 27 through a suspension seal 26, and is concentrically and sealedly suspended with the tubing hanger 34, and is inserted into the tubing at the upper end of the downhole production string.

The equal-diameter section of the conical gas-proof pump barrel is seamlessly coaxially connected by several chromium-plated or carbonitrided pump barrels. The bottom end of the pump barrel is equipped with an inclined well anti-leakage fixed valve ball assembly. The fixed valve assembly adopts a spring guiding structure. The spring is made of Monel material with good corrosion resistance. There are inclined downward holes on the self-cleaning cover of the fixed valve.
