Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gas lift, and in particular to a gas lift boosting device for a natural gas well compressor. Background Art

[0002] Gas lift refers to the cessation of oil well self-flow when the energy supplied by the formation is insufficient to lift crude oil from the bottom of the well to the surface. In order to make the oil well continue to produce oil, gas (natural gas or air) is artificially pressed into the bottom of the well to make the crude oil spray out to the surface. For example, patent application number CN90209934.5 is a gas lift oil production device used in the petroleum industry for oil extraction. This device is composed of a conventional gas lift oil production device plus a dedicated ball control mechanism. By regularly and quantitatively placing gas lift balls in the lift pipe, a slug flow alternating between gas columns and gas lift balls is formed in the lift pipe, so that the energy of the gas is well utilized, the gas injection ratio is reduced, the oil production depth is increased, and the gas lift efficiency is improved. In the above technical solution, during the gas lift process, the gas needs to be filled into the outer sleeve before entering the oil pipe. The gas is prone to leakage in the outer sleeve, which not only affects the pressure of the gas lift, but also easily causes safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

After the second sleeve 9 and the first sleeve 7 are installed, the connecting pipe 17 of the inner wall thereof is also connected. At this time, the staff slides the first sealing disc 1101 and the second sealing disc 1104 on the inner wall of the second sleeve 9. After the second sealing disc 1104 is slid and installed at the appropriate position on the inner wall of the second sleeve 9, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 1102 is extended and retracted inwardly to shorten the distance between the first sealing disc 1101 and the second sealing disc 1104. After the distance between them becomes closer, and because the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 1102 is arranged on the lower surface of the second sealing disk 1104, a second groove 1111 is provided on the side of the first sealing disk 1101 and the second sealing disk 1104 close to each other, and a second rotating shaft 1112 is rotatably installed between the inner walls on both sides of each second groove 1111, and a first connecting rod 1105 is fixedly installed on the side of the second rotating shaft 1112 set on each first sealing disk 1101, and a second connecting rod 1106 is fixedly installed on the side of the second rotating shaft 1112 set on each second sealing disk 1104, and a positioning arc plate 1103 is installed between the top ends of the second connecting rod 1106 and the first connecting rod 1105, and two first grooves 1107 are provided on the surface of the positioning arc plate 1103.A first rotating shaft 1108 is rotatably installed between the inner walls on both sides of each first groove 1107, and the top ends of the second connecting rod 1106 and the first connecting rod 1105 are respectively arranged on the side of the first rotating shaft 1108, at this time, the positioning arc plate 1103 can be driven to move outward, so that the positioning arc plate 1103 is tightly fitted on the inner wall of the second sleeve 9, thereby preventing the first sealing disk 1101 and the second sealing disk 1104 from sliding again, so that the first sealing disk 1101 and the second sealing disk 1104 can seal the second sleeve 9, and at this time, the compressor body 1 is used to work. The gas is flushed from the connecting gas pipe 4 into the connecting pipe 17, discharged from the connecting pipe 17, and then enters the interior of the oil pipe 3 through the valve on the oil pipe 3, mixing with the oil layer in the wellbore. The expansion of the gas reduces the density of the mixed liquid in the wellbore, lifting the crude oil flowing into the well to the surface. The second sealing disk 1104 prevents the gas from flowing into the second sleeve 9. This device can directly fill the valve position on the oil pipe 3, and the position can be adjusted at will. It can prevent the gas from filling the interior of the sleeve and causing air leakage in the sleeve, and can ensure the pressure of the gas lift.

[0031] Working principle: When it is necessary to use this device to perform oil and gas lifting work, first install the second sleeve 9 on the lower end of the first sleeve 7 according to the length of the oil pipe 3, so that the length between the second sleeve 9 and the first sleeve 7 is adapted to the length of the oil pipe 3. After the second sleeve 9 and the first sleeve 7 are installed, the connecting pipe 17 on the inner wall will also be connected. At this time, the staff will slide the first sealing disc 1101 and the second sealing disc 1104 on the inner wall of the second sleeve 9. After the second sealing disc 1104 is slid and installed in the appropriate position on the inner wall of the second sleeve 9, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 1102 is extended and retracted inward to make the first sealing disc 1101 1104, and the distance between the first sealing disk 1101 and the second sealing disk 1104 becomes closer. After the distance between the first sealing disk 1101 and the second sealing disk 1104 becomes closer, and because the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 1102 is arranged on the lower surface of the second sealing disk 1104, the first sealing disk 1101 and the second sealing disk 1104 are provided with a second groove 1111 on one side close to each other, and a second rotating shaft 1112 is rotatably installed between the inner walls on both sides of each second groove 1111, and a first connecting rod 1105 is fixedly installed on the side of the second rotating shaft 1112 provided on each first sealing disk 1101, and a second connecting rod 1105 is fixedly installed on the side of the second rotating shaft 1112 provided on each second sealing disk 1104. 6. A positioning arc plate 1103 is installed between the top of the second connecting rod 1106 and the first connecting rod 1105. Two first grooves 1107 are provided on the surface of the positioning arc plate 1103. A first rotating shaft 1108 is rotatably installed between the inner walls on both sides of each first groove 1107. The tops of the second connecting rod 1106 and the first connecting rod 1105 are respectively arranged on the side of the first rotating shaft 1108. At this time, the positioning arc plate 1103 can be driven to move outward, so that the positioning arc plate 1103 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the second sleeve 9, thereby preventing the first sealing disk 1101 and the second sealing disk 1104 from sliding again, so that the first sealing disk 1101 and the second sealing disk 1104 are 04 seals the second sleeve 9. At this time, the compressor body 1 works to flush the gas from the connecting air pipe 4 into the connecting pipe 17, which is then discharged from the connecting pipe 17 and enters the inside of the oil pipe 3 from the valve on the oil pipe 3. The mixture is mixed with the oil layer in the wellbore, and the density of the mixed liquid in the wellbore is reduced by the expansion of the gas, so that the crude oil flowing into the well is lifted to the ground. The second sealing disk 1104 can prevent the gas from flowing to the second sleeve 9. This device can directly fill the gas into the position of the valve on the oil pipe 3, and the position can be adjusted at will, which can prevent the gas from filling the inside of the sleeve and causing air leakage on the sleeve, thereby ensuring the pressure of the gas lift.

For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to list all the implementation methods here. Any obvious changes or modifications derived from the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
