Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oil and natural gas exploitation, and in particular relates to a production sleeve, a production tubing string and a production method for a high-temperature gas well in an offshore oil field. Background Art

[0002] In the early stages of offshore high-temperature gas well development, formation energy is sufficient, and most offshore high-temperature gas wells utilize self-flowing, layered production strings. However, as development progresses, formation energy gradually decreases, and interlayer conflicts intensify. This seriously threatens the stability of gas well production, leading to a sharp drop in gas production and even flooding and shutdown of the well, significantly reducing the recovery rate of the gas reservoir. Therefore, during the development of offshore high-temperature gas wells, it is necessary to control the gas layer production in each layer and selectively shut down the water-producing layers to extend the effective production cycle of the gas well.

[0003] Currently, the most common offshore control method is to install production sleeves at each production layer and use slickline operations to control the opening and closing of these layers. However, this control method has the disadvantage that slickline operations can only be performed in wells with inclinations less than 65°, making it unsuitable for highly deviated wells and ultra-deep wells in offshore oil and gas fields. Furthermore, offshore platform wellhead space is limited, and slickline operations occupying the wellhead would restrict the implementation of measures in other wells.

[0004] Alternatively, some wells utilize hydraulically controlled sliding sleeves, with a controller installed at the wellhead and connected to the sliding sleeve downhole via hydraulic control lines, secured outside the tubing string by a protective cover. However, this tubing string structure is complex, installation is difficult, and the cost is high. This also increases the likelihood of downhole complications during subsequent tubing string movement operations, requiring improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0067] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features therein can be combined with each other in any manner.

[0068] Example 1

[0069] like Figure 1-Figure 7 The embodiment 1 of the present invention is shown, which discloses a production sleeve 100 for a high-temperature gas well in an offshore oil field, including a vertically arranged sleeve body 1, the sleeve body 1 having a cylindrical structure, and an upper joint 2 being threadedly connected to the top of the sleeve body 1, and the upper joint 2 is used to connect to an external pipe string.

[0070] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the sleeve body 1 is provided with multiple production holes 3, and the multiple production holes 3 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the sleeve body 1. A control cylinder 4 is concentrically slidably disposed within the sleeve body 1, and the control hole is provided with multiple openings 5, and the multiple openings 5 ​​are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple production holes 3.

[0071] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the production sleeve 100 further includes an opening portion 6 and a closing portion 7. The opening portion 6 is used to control the downward movement of the sleeve body 1 and align the opening hole 5 with the production hole 3 to achieve opening control of the production sleeve 100. The closing portion 7 is used to control the upward movement of the sleeve body 1 and misalign the opening hole 5 with the production hole 3 to achieve closing control of the production sleeve 100.

[0072] In one embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the opening portion 6 includes an opening ball 61 and an opening slope 62. The opening ball 61 can be dropped from the upper joint 2 into the control cylinder 4. The opening slope 62 is conical and located at the lower end of the inner wall of the control cylinder 4. When the opening ball 61 is dropped into the control cylinder 4 and forms an abutment seal with the opening slope 62, pressure is applied by external pressure equipment, causing the control cylinder 4 to move downward under the pressure, aligning the opening hole 5 with the production hole 3, thereby achieving controlled opening of the production sleeve 100.

[0073] In one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the closing portion 7 includes a return spring 8 arranged in the sleeve body 1. The return spring 8 is located below the control cylinder 4 and abuts against the control cylinder 4. At the same time, the return spring 8 is used to push the control cylinder 4 to move upward so that the opening hole 5 and the production hole 3 are misaligned.

[0074] In one embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, a support cylinder 9 located above the control cylinder 4 is concentrically fixedly connected inside the control cylinder 4, and a plurality of elastic limiting claws 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support cylinder 9. The plurality of limiting claws 10 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the support cylinder 9, and the lower end faces of the plurality of limiting claws 10 can respectively form abutment limits with the upper end face of the control cylinder 4 to limit the upward movement of the control cylinder 4.

[0075] In one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 5 As shown, the closing portion 7 also includes a driving member 11, which is used to cause the multiple limiting claws 10 to be stretched outward respectively, and the lower end faces of the multiple limiting claws 10 to be separated from the upper end faces of the control cylinder 4 respectively, so that the control cylinder 4 can move upward under the elastic force of the reset spring 8, and cause the opening hole 5 to be misaligned with the production hole 3, so as to realize the closing control of the production sleeve 100.

[0076] In one embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the sleeve body 1 is provided with a step surface 12. When the control cylinder 4 moves downward and the lower end surface of the control cylinder 4 abuts against the step surface 12, the multiple opening holes 5 are respectively aligned with the corresponding production holes 3, and the lower end surfaces of the multiple limiting claws 10 just form abutment limits with the upper end surface of the control cylinder 4, thereby realizing the limitation of the sliding stroke of the control cylinder 4.

[0077] In one embodiment, Figure 4 、 Figure 6 As shown, the driving member 11 includes a driving seat 111 that is concentrically slidably arranged in the support tube 9. The driving seat 111 is an annular structure. A conical driving inclined surface 112 is provided at the lower end position of the outer wall of the driving seat 111. A guide inclined surface 113 is respectively provided on each limiting claw 10, and the driving inclined surface 112 is matched with multiple guide inclined surfaces 113 respectively.

[0078] In one embodiment, Figure 5 、 Figure 7 As shown, the driving member 11 also includes a pushing member 13, which is used to push the driving seat 111 to move downward, so that the multiple limiting claws 10 are stretched outward under the joint action of the driving inclined surface 112 and the corresponding guiding inclined surface 113, and the lower end surfaces of the multiple limiting claws 10 are separated from the upper end surface of the control cylinder 4 respectively.

[0079] In one embodiment, Figure 5 、 Figure 7As shown, the pushing member 13 includes a pushing ball 131 and an annular pushing inclined surface 132. The pushing ball 131 can be dropped from the upper joint 2 into the driving seat 111. The pushing inclined surface 132 is provided at the upper end of the inner wall of the driving seat 111. When the pushing ball 131 is dropped into the driving seat 111 and abuts and seals with the pushing inclined surface 132, external pressure equipment applies pressure, causing the driving seat 111 to move downward under the pressure, thereby causing the plurality of limiting claws 10 to be respectively opened outward.

[0080] In one embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, the diameter of the push ball 131 is larger than that of the opening ball 61. The opening ball 61 and the push ball 131 are each made of a material that is soluble in the formation fluid. In this embodiment, the opening ball 61 and the push ball 131 are each made of a magnesium-aluminum alloy with zinc and copper additives to improve the overall strength. At the same time, the density of the opening ball 61 and the push ball 131 is 2.3g / cm 3 , can rely on gravity to drop the ball into place, temperature resistance of 180 ℃, suitable for high temperature formations in offshore oil fields, pressure resistance of 10MPa.

[0081] The opening control operation of the production sleeve 100 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0082] The opening ball 61 is inserted until it forms a seal with the opening bevel 62. External pressure is then applied, allowing the control cylinder 4 to move downward under the pressure, compressing the return spring 8. When the control cylinder 4 contacts the stepped surface 12, the multiple opening holes 5 align with the multiple production holes 3, and the control cylinder 4 moves just below the multiple limit claws 10. The multiple limit claws 10 return to their original position under their own elastic force, and the lower end surfaces of the multiple limit claws 10 contact the upper end surface of the control cylinder 4, limiting the upward movement of the control cylinder 4 and ensuring stable opening of the production sleeve 100.

[0083] The closing control operation of the production sleeve 100 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0084] The push ball 131 is inserted until it forms a seal with the push slope 132. External pressure is then applied, causing the drive seat 111 to move downward under the pressure. The multiple limit claws 10 are then pushed outward by the combined action of the drive slope 112 and the corresponding guide slopes 113. After the multiple limit claws 10 are separated from the control cylinder 4, the control cylinder 4 moves upward under the elastic force of the return spring 8, causing the opening hole 5 to shift with the production hole 3, thereby closing the production sleeve 100.

[0085] The production sleeve 100 in this embodiment can realize the opening and closing control of the switch sleeve by throwing a ball and pressing, which is simpler and more convenient to operate, is not restricted by the well type and well inclination, improves the adaptability of use, and can also reduce the construction difficulty and construction cost.

[0086] Example 2

[0087] like Figure 8 The embodiment 2 of the present invention is shown, which discloses a production tubing string 200 for a high-temperature gas well in an offshore oil field, including multiple production sleeves 100 in embodiment 1. The production tubing string 200 also includes a vertically arranged branch oil production pipe 14, on which a safety valve 15, a chemical injection valve 16, a circulation sleeve 17 and multiple packers 18 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. At the same time, a guide wire plug 19 is connected to the bottom of the branch oil production pipe 14.

[0088] In one embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, multiple production sleeves 100 are connected to the sub-production pipes 14, and each production sleeve 100 is located between two adjacent packers 18. At the same time, a sand control screen 20 is connected between two adjacent packers 18, and the sub-production pipes 14 are concentrically located within the sand control screen 20.

[0089] In one embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the ball diameters of the opening balls 61 of multiple production sleeves 100, the inner diameters of the control cylinders 4, the ball diameters of the push balls 131, and the inner diameters of the drive seats 111 decrease successively from top to bottom, that is, each layer of production sleeves 100 corresponds to a set of opening balls 61 and push balls 131 of different sizes, so that each layer of production sleeves 100 can be individually controlled to open and close by throwing balls and pressing.

[0090] In this embodiment, the pushing ball 131 and the opening ball 61 gradually dissolve after being immersed in the formation fluid for a certain period of time, and their sizes gradually become smaller, and then settle to the position of the guide wire plug 19, and then completely dissolve under the action of further immersion in the formation fluid in the oil pipe.

[0091] The production string 200 in this embodiment has a simpler structure, can realize independent production or simultaneous production of multiple layers, and can also improve durability and safety.

[0092] Example 3

[0093] like Figure 9 The third embodiment of the present invention is shown. This embodiment discloses a production method for a high-temperature gas well in an offshore oil field. The production string 200 in the second embodiment is used. The production method includes the following steps:

[0094] S1, assemble the production string 200 and run it into the casing, ensuring that the safety valve 15 and all production sleeves 100 are in the open state, and the circulation sleeve 17 is in the closed state;

[0095] S2, controlling the plurality of packers 18 to be respectively set on the inner wall of the casing to achieve stratification of the casing;

[0096] S3, since the multiple production slides 100 are in the open state, multiple layers can be produced simultaneously;

[0097] S4: As production progresses, if a certain layer produces water, the gas production at the wellhead will decrease. As time goes by, the gas-liquid carrying capacity will decrease until production stops. At this time, the production sleeve 100 of this layer is closed, and production of other layers is resumed.

[0098] S5, after the water production layer is restored, the production sleeve 100 of this layer is opened again, and multiple layers are produced simultaneously.

[0099] S4 includes the following steps:

[0100] S41, open the well and release the pressure to the production process or mud pool until the wellhead pressure reaches 0 MPa;

[0101] S42: Insert the push ball 131 corresponding to the production sleeve 100 at the water-producing zone into the wellhead. Wait for 1-2 hours until the push ball 131 forms a seal with the push slope 132 of the production sleeve 100. Apply 5 MPa pressure to the wellhead using external pressure equipment and maintain the pressure for 10-15 minutes until the production sleeve 100 at the water-producing zone is closed (refer to Example 1 for the closing operation). Then, depressurize the wellhead.

[0102] S43: Shut in the well and record the wellhead pressure every 2 hours for the first 24 hours. After 24 hours, record the pressure every 10 minutes. When the pressure change is less than 1%, reopen the well and resume production.

[0103] S44: If the gas well cannot resume production after completing S41-S43, connect the adjacent wellhead to the wellhead of the gas well through a pipeline, and introduce high-pressure gas from the adjacent well into the wellhead. Use the high-pressure gas to pressurize the liquid in the production string 200 back into the formation. Then observe the change in wellhead pressure. If the pressure change is less than 1% within 10 minutes, open the well and resume production.

[0104] S45: If the gas well still does not resume production after S44 is completed, S44 is repeated until the gas well resumes production.

[0105] In S42, the closing operation of the production sleeve 100 at the water-producing layer may refer to Example 1, and will not be described in detail here.

[0106] The steps in S5 to determine whether the water-producing layer has recovered are similar to those in S4. Specifically, the production sleeve 100 in the water-producing layer is opened (refer to Example 1 for the opening operation), and the production sleeves 100 in the remaining layers are closed. Steps S41-S43 are repeated. If the pressure change is less than 1%, the production sleeves 100 in the remaining layers are opened, and production resumes at the well. Of course, if the gas well cannot resume production after repeating S41-S43, S44 and S45 are performed until the gas well reaches production conditions. At this point, the production sleeves 100 in the remaining layers are opened, allowing simultaneous production to continue at multiple layers.

[0107] In summary, this application has the following advantages:

[0108] (1) It does not occupy the operating wellhead, ensuring time and space for other operations on the offshore platform;

[0109] (2) The construction process is simple, which reduces the operation risk, has low overall cost, and significantly reduces costs and increases efficiency;

[0110] (3) Not limited by well inclination, applicable to vertical wells, inclined wells, and horizontal wells;

[0111] (4) The opening and closing of the layer are achieved by dissolvable balls, which can withstand temperatures of 180°C. After the balls dissolve in the produced water, the gas layer production is unrestricted;

[0112] (5) It can be used in conjunction with existing mature tools and can be expanded to water injection wells and oil production wells.
