Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of oil extraction metering technology, and in particular to a metering connector conversion device for eccentric wellheads. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, multiphase flow metering has become an important auxiliary tool in nuclear production. A multiphase flow meter is an instrument used to measure the flow rate of multiphase fluids (such as mixtures of oil, gas, and water). In industries such as petroleum and natural gas, multiphase flow meters are widely used to meet the need for accurate measurement of the flow rate of mixtures such as oil, gas, and water. The principle of multiphase flow meters is based on various sensors and measurement technologies, including differential pressure, thermal, ultrasonic, and nuclear flow meters. Through these sensors and measurement technologies, multiphase flow meters can achieve precise measurement of the flow rate of each component in mixtures such as oil, gas, and water, thus providing important data support for the production process.
[0003] During oil and gas measurement, some wells were equipped with eccentric wellheads. After the oil outlet was connected to the inlet pipeline of the multiphase flow meter, the outlet pipeline of the multiphase flow meter could not be connected to the back pressure pipeline, which prevented the oil and gas measurement work from proceeding normally and became a bottleneck restricting the normal operation of the oil and gas measurement work. Summary of the Invention

The central tube is passed through the inside of the sealing component and the bottom end of the central tube is inserted into the inside of the insulation sleeve. After reaching the specified position, the central tube and the short sealing section become one. The vent cock is closed to connect the oil measurement pipeline. Oil and gas can be measured according to the operating procedure. This solves the problem that the oil measurement and gas measurement work cannot be carried out normally in the existing eccentric wellhead process of the pumping unit and the inability of the multiphase flow meter oil outlet pipeline to connect to the back pressure pipeline.

[0010] Optionally, the sealing section includes a sealing part, and a connecting part is coaxially fixedly connected to the lower part of the sealing part. The sealing part abuts against the central tube, and a gap is left between the connecting part and the central tube to form a flow cavity.
