[0001] This invention relates to the field of natural gas and coal rock gas drainage and gas production technology, and in particular to a deep well long-life drainage and gas production system and its surface power unit and control method. Background Technology
[0002] In the middle and later stages of their production lifecycle, deep coalbed methane and natural gas wells commonly face the problem of declining formation pressure and increased water production leading to wellbore fluid accumulation. This fluid accumulation increases bottom hole back pressure, reduces the production pressure differential, and lowers gas production efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the bottom hole fluid through artificial lifting to achieve normal gas production from deep coalbed methane.
[0003] Under normal circumstances, to drive the downhole pump set motor plunger for production without contact between the power fluid and the produced fluid, two non-interfering power fluid lines are required to achieve the up and down strokes of the downhole pump set motor plunger. This makes the surface power reversing device more complex and increases the energy consumption of the system. In addition, existing equipment cannot precisely control the flow rate of high-pressure power fluid during reversing, and cannot achieve flexible reversing. This causes significant impact on valves, pipelines, and downhole tubing in the hydraulic circuit, greatly shortening their service life.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention discloses a deep well long-life drainage and gas production system, its surface power unit, and control method.

[0018] This invention achieves the cyclic drainage process of the downhole pump unit by controlling the motor speed and the flow rate of the power pump.

[0023] To better explain the present invention, the main contents of the present invention are further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments, but the contents of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments.
[0024] Example 1 This invention discloses a surface power unit for a deep well long-life drainage and gas production system, particularly suitable for coal-rock gas wells and natural gas wells at depths of 2500-4000 meters. The deep well long-life drainage and gas production system includes a surface power unit and a downhole pump unit 18, used for drainage and gas production of natural gas and deep coal-rock gas. The surface power unit is connected to the motor plunger of the downhole pump unit 18 via a double-layer pipeline, driving the movement of the motor plunger of the downhole pump unit 18, thereby realizing the drainage and production process of the downhole pump unit 18.
[0025] like Figures 1-2The diagram shows the surface power unit of the deep well long-life drainage gas production system of the present invention, including a water tank 1, a power pump 3 connected to the water tank 1, and a motor 2 connected to the power pump 3. The water tank 1 is used to store power fluid and recover spent power fluid. The motor 2 is connected to the power pump 3 via a belt 19; the motor 2 is a variable frequency reluctance motor or a variable frequency permanent magnet motor, used to drive the power pump 3 to rotate, thereby pressurizing and providing power to the power fluid flowing out of the water tank 1 and through the power pump 3; the motor 2 is equipped with a motor control system for controlling the operation of the motor 2. The power pump 3 is a three-cylinder plunger pump, connected to the water tank 1 via a pipeline, used to pressurize the power fluid flowing into the water tank 1, thereby providing power to the power fluid; the three-cylinder plunger pump uses ceramic plungers and a combined seal; the structure of the three-cylinder plunger pump is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. An accumulator 4 is installed on the outlet pipe of the power pump 3 to buffer the pump displacement, ensure pressure stability during the operation of the power pump 3, and achieve the functions of regulating, compensating and protecting the system energy. This avoids the impact of pulsation during the plunger suction and discharge reversal in the power pump 3 on the control accuracy of the ground power unit, and extends the service life through flexible reversal. The belt 19 is a V-belt.
[0026] Specifically, the outlet of water tank 1 is connected to the inlet of power pump 3 through a pipeline. The outlet of power pump 3 is divided into two lines, namely supply pipeline A and supply pipeline B. The end of supply pipeline A away from power pump 3 is connected to the lower end of motor plunger of downhole pump set 18 through a pipeline. The end of supply pipeline B away from power pump 3 is connected to the upper end of motor plunger of downhole pump set 18 through a pipeline. Supply line A connects to the central pipe of the double-layer pipeline of downhole pump unit 18. The central pipe of the double-layer pipeline of downhole pump unit 18 connects to the lower end of the motor plunger of downhole pump unit 18, thereby delivering the power fluid in supply line A to the lower end of the motor plunger of downhole pump unit 18. Supply line B connects to the annulus pipe of the double-layer pipeline of downhole pump unit 18. The annulus pipe of the double-layer pipeline of downhole pump unit 18 connects to the upper end of the motor plunger of downhole pump unit 18, thereby delivering the power fluid in supply line B to the upper end of the motor plunger of downhole pump unit 18. Thus, supply lines A and B are respectively connected to downhole pump unit 18. Supply lines A and B are used to deliver pressurized power fluid to downhole pump unit 18 for drainage and gas production.
[0027] A branch line is set on the supply pipeline A as the return pipeline B, that is, the return pipeline B is connected at point A1 on the supply pipeline A. The end of the return pipeline B away from the supply pipeline A is connected to the return water port of the water tank 1, so that the downhole pump unit 18 is connected to the water tank 1 through the central pipeline, the pipeline section from point A1 on the supply pipeline A to the connection with the return pipeline B, and the return pipeline B. A branch line is set on the supply pipeline B as the return pipeline A, that is, the return pipeline A is connected at point B1 on the supply pipeline B. The end of the return pipeline A away from the supply pipeline B is connected to the return water port of the water tank 1, so that the downhole pump unit 18 is connected to the water tank 1 through the annulus pipeline, the pipeline section from point B1 on the supply pipeline B to the connection with the return pipeline A, and the return pipeline A. The downhole pump unit 18 is connected to the return port of the water tank 1, and the spent power fluid in the downhole pump unit 18 is returned to the water tank 1 through the return fluid line B and the return fluid line A respectively. The water tank 1, the power pump 3, the supply fluid line A, the downhole pump unit 18, the return fluid line A, and the water tank 1 form one power fluid flow cycle; the water tank 1, the power pump 3, the supply fluid line B, the downhole pump unit 18, the return fluid line B, and the water tank 1 form another power fluid flow cycle.
[0028] The double-layer piping system comprises a central piping system and an annular piping system, provided by a double-layer tubing string. The double-layer tubing string consists of a central tubing and a main tubing system. The central tubing contains the central piping system, and the space between the central tubing and the main tubing is the annular piping system. The central piping system connects to the lower end of the motor plunger of the downhole pump unit, and the annular piping system connects to the upper end of the motor plunger of the downhole pump unit. This part is existing technology for downhole pump units and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0029] The operation method of the ground power unit is as follows: When the motor plunger of the downhole pump set 18 is at the lower end, the motor 2 drives the power pump 3 through the belt 19 to draw power fluid from the water tank 1 and pressurize the power fluid. Then, the power fluid is transported to the lower end of the motor plunger of the downhole pump set 18 through the supply pipeline A, pushing the motor plunger of the downhole pump set 18 to move upward. At this time, the exhausted power fluid returns from the upper end of the motor plunger of the downhole pump set 18 through the annulus pipeline, the pipeline section from the connection point B1 of the supply pipeline B and the return pipeline A to the connection point of the return pipeline A, and the return pipeline A back to the water tank 1, forming a... The power fluid circulation is formed. When the motor plunger of the downhole pump set 18 moves to the upper end, the motor 2 drives the power pump 3 through the belt 19 to draw power fluid from the water tank 1 and pressurize the power fluid. Then, the power fluid is transported to the upper end of the motor plunger of the downhole pump set 18 through the supply pipeline B, pushing the motor plunger of the downhole pump set 18 to move downward. At this time, the exhausted power fluid returns from the lower end of the motor plunger of the downhole pump set 18 through the central pipeline, the pipeline section from the connection point A1 of the supply pipeline A and the return pipeline B to the connection point of the central pipeline, and the return pipeline B back to the water tank 1, forming a power fluid circulation.
[0030] like Figure 2As shown, the above-mentioned ground power unit also includes a control system, which is used to control the structural operation of the above-mentioned ground power unit during the drainage of natural gas or deep coal and rock gas, thereby realizing the cyclic drainage process of the downhole pump group 18.
[0031] The control system includes an electromagnetic directional valve 8, installed on the pipeline at the outlet of the power pump 3, used to regulate the flow direction at the outlet of the power pump 3. The electromagnetic directional valve 8 divides the outlet of the power pump 3 into two paths: one is supply pipeline A, and the other is supply pipeline B. The electromagnetic directional valve 8 can be a three-way electromagnetic directional valve or two two-position two-way electromagnetic directional valves. If a three-way electromagnetic directional valve is used, it includes one inlet and two outlets. The inlet of the three-way electromagnetic directional valve is connected to the outlet of the power pump 3 via a pipeline, and the two outlets are connected to supply pipeline A and supply pipeline B respectively. If two two-position two-way electromagnetic directional valves are used, the inlets of both valves are connected to the outlet of the power pump 3 via pipelines, and the outlets are connected to supply pipeline A and supply pipeline B respectively. When the outlet of the solenoid directional valve 8 connected to the supply line A is opened, the power fluid flowing out of the outlet of the power pump 3 flows into the supply line A. At this time, the pipeline from point B1 on the supply line B to the downhole pump group 18, together with the return line A, serves as the waste power fluid return path. When the outlet of the solenoid directional valve 8 connected to the supply line B is opened, the power fluid flowing out of the outlet of the power pump 3 flows into the supply line B. At this time, the pipeline from point A1 on the supply line A to the downhole pump group 18, together with the return line B, serves as the waste power fluid return path. The solenoid directional valve 8, supply line A, return line B, supply line B, and return line A can realize a closed hydraulic system circuit and power fluid circulation.
[0032] The control system also includes two check valves 9. One is installed on the supply line A, between the solenoid directional valve 8 and the return line B, specifically on the line between point A1 on the supply line A and the solenoid directional valve 8. The other is installed on the supply line B, between the solenoid directional valve 8 and the return line A, specifically on the line between point B1 on the supply line B and the solenoid directional valve 8. The check valves 9 ensure unidirectional flow of the power fluid after passing through the solenoid directional valve 8, preventing backflow when the line pressure is high.
[0033] The control system also includes a speed sensor installed on the motor 2 to monitor the speed of the motor 2 and record the total number of rotations of the motor 2. In conjunction with the flow sensor, when the speed of the variable frequency reluctance motor or variable frequency permanent magnet motor is close to the preset number of rotations of the motor 2, the speed is reduced to achieve flexible commutation.
[0034] The control system also includes an upstroke return valve 15 and a downstroke return valve 17. The upstroke return valve 15 is installed on return line A and controls the opening and closing of return line A. The downstroke return valve 17 is installed on return line B and controls the opening and closing of return line B. Both the upstroke return valve 15 and the downstroke return valve 17 are two-position two-way solenoid valves.
[0035] The control system also includes a first pressure sensor 7, which is installed on the connecting pipeline between the power pump 3 and the solenoid directional valve 8, for detecting pipeline pressure.
[0036] The control system also includes a first flow sensor 10 and a second pressure sensor 11, installed on the pipeline between point A1 on the supply line A and the solenoid directional valve 8, to monitor the pressure and flow rate of the power fluid entering the central pipeline through the supply line A; a second flow sensor 13 and a third pressure sensor 14, installed on the pipeline between point B1 on the supply line B and the downhole pump unit 18, to monitor the pressure and flow rate of the power fluid entering the annulus pipeline through the supply line B or the waste power fluid flowing from the annulus pipeline into the return line A. The second pressure sensor 11 and the third pressure sensor 14 are used to monitor the pressure in the supply line, and to shut down the system when the pressure is abnormal.
[0037] The control system also includes a return water flow meter 16, which is installed on the return water line A between the upstroke return water valve 15 and the supply line B. It monitors the drainage status of the closed hydraulic circulation system. By comparing the return water flow rate during the upstroke with the injected power fluid, the drainage flow rate can be calculated. By adjusting the working status of the hydraulic circulation system, the working conditions can be continuously optimized. This is a key technical path to improve drainage efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and extend equipment life to achieve the ideal drainage state.
[0038] The control system also includes a spring-reset safety valve 5, a pressure gauge 6, and an automatic vent valve 12. The spring-reset safety valve 5 is installed on the pipeline between the first pressure sensor 7 and the power pump 3, specifically on the pipeline between the first pressure sensor 7 and the accumulator 4. It is a safety protection device that automatically opens and closes using spring force to prevent the power hydraulic pressure from exceeding a set threshold and causing a safety accident. The pressure gauge 6 is installed on the pipeline between the spring-reset safety valve 5 and the first pressure sensor 7. The automatic vent valve 12 is installed on the fluid supply line B and is used to discharge gas from the downhole pump unit 18, specifically the gas in the double-layer tubing annulus line connected to the fluid supply line B. The automatic vent valve 12 consists of a filter, a vent valve, and a solenoid safety valve. The automatic vent valve 12 operates normally under the protection of the solenoid safety valve.
[0039] The control system also includes a control cabinet for receiving signals from sensors in the pipeline, thereby monitoring the system and controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid directional valves.
[0040] All of the above-mentioned pipe connections are threaded connections.
[0041] The above-mentioned ground power unit operates as follows: Motor 2 drives power pump 3 via belt 19 to pressurize the power fluid, and then the pressurized power fluid drives downhole pump group 18 under the control of electromagnetic reversing valve 8 to achieve high-pressure power fluid delivery. The variable frequency reluctance motor or variable frequency permanent magnet motor uses relevant parameter information from flow sensor, pressure sensor, and speed sensor, and the frequency converter controls the motor speed and total number of rotations, achieving flexible reversing control in the hydraulic control system, avoiding pipeline impact, and extending pipeline service life.
[0042] The above-mentioned operation method of the ground power unit is based on the position and direction of the motor plunger movement of the downhole pump unit 18, and specifically includes the following operating conditions: Upstroke: The motor control system controls the motor 2 to drive the power pump 3, which pressurizes the power fluid in the water tank 1. At this time, the outlet of the solenoid directional valve 8 connected to the supply line A is open and the outlet of the supply line B is closed. The supply line A is open and the supply line B is closed. The power fluid enters the lower end of the motor plunger of the downhole pump set 18 from the central pipeline of the double-layer tubing along the pipeline of the supply line A, pushing the motor plunger to move upward. The upstroke return water valve 15 is open and the downstroke return water valve 17 is closed. The waste power fluid at the upper end of the motor plunger in the downhole pump set 18 returns to the water tank 1 through the annulus pipeline and the return water pipeline A.
[0043] Downstroke: The motor control system controls the motor 2 to drive the power pump 3, pressurizing the power fluid in the water tank 1 via the power pump 3. At this time, the outlet of the solenoid directional valve 8 connected to the supply pipeline A is closed, and the outlet of the supply pipeline B is open. The supply pipeline A is closed, and the supply pipeline B is open. The power fluid enters the upper end of the motor plunger of the downhole pump set 18 from the annulus of the double-layer tubing through the supply pipeline B, pushing the motor plunger to move downward. The upstroke return water valve 15 is closed, and the downstroke return water valve 17 is open. The exhausted power fluid at the lower end of the motor plunger in the downhole pump set 18 returns to the water tank 1 via the central pipeline through the return water pipeline B.
[0044] After the upstroke is completed, the system performs a downstroke by controlling the solenoid reversing valve 8, and the corresponding return water valve is opened accordingly, and the entire drainage and gas extraction process is completed in a cycle.
[0045] Example 2 This invention discloses a deep well long-life drainage and gas production system, comprising a downhole pump unit 18 for drainage and gas production and a surface power unit connected to the downhole pump unit 18. The surface power unit is the same as that described in Embodiment 1, and the connection method between the surface power unit and the downhole pump unit 18 is also described in Embodiment 1. The downhole pump unit 18 has a motor plunger. The power fluid flowing into the surface power unit drives the motor plunger to move up and down, thereby realizing drainage and gas production from the downhole pump unit 18. The structure of the downhole pump unit 18 adopts existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0046] Example 3 This invention discloses a control method for a deep well long-life drainage and gas production system, which can realize the control of the above-mentioned surface power unit and drainage and gas production system. The method includes monitoring the number of rotations of the motor through a speed sensor, controlling the power fluid flow rate by controlling the speed of the motor 2 according to the signal transmitted by the speed sensor, and reducing the speed of the motor 2 when the motor plunger of the downhole pump 18 is close to the top dead center or bottom dead center according to the total volume of the discharged fluid during the upper and lower strokes, thereby reducing the power fluid flow rate. Then, the electromagnetic reversing valve 8 is controlled to reverse, realizing flexible reversing control.
[0047] Specifically, the following steps are included: 1) Before using the surface power unit for drainage, determine the total volume V of the discharged fluid in one upstroke of the downhole pump unit 18 through preliminary tests. T1 and the corresponding number of rotations C of motor 2 T1 Similarly, determine the total volume V of the discharged fluid in one downstroke of the downhole pump unit 18. T2 and the corresponding number of rotations C of motor 2 T2 ; 2) When using a ground power unit for drilling, the rotation number of motor 2 is monitored by a speed sensor. Based on the rotation number of motor 2, the speed of motor 2 and the reversing of the solenoid valve 8 are adjusted to achieve switching between the upstroke and downstroke and cyclic drilling. Before switching between the upstroke and downstroke (before the solenoid valve 8 reverses), the speed of motor 2 is reduced to 0-25 rpm. After switching, the speed of motor 2 is increased to the rated speed within 0.8-1.5 seconds and maintained at the rated speed. The specific operation is as follows: Upstroke: The solenoid directional valve 8 reverses, switching the downhole pump unit 18 to the upstroke mode. The speed of motor 2 is increased to the rated speed within 0.8~1.5s and maintained at the rated speed. The number of rotations of motor 2 is monitored from the start of the solenoid directional valve 8 reversal. When the number of motor rotations during this upstroke reaches (0.85~0.9) × C... T1 At that time, within 1.5~2 seconds, reduce the speed of motor 2 to 0~25 rpm, and wait until the number of motor revolutions in the current stroke reaches C. T1At that time, the outlet direction of the electromagnetic reversing valve 8 is switched, thereby switching to the downstroke of the downhole pump unit 18; Downstroke: After the solenoid directional valve 8 switches, the current state becomes the downstroke, increasing the speed of motor 2 to the rated speed within 0.8~1.5s and maintaining the rated speed. The number of rotations of motor 2 is monitored from the start of the solenoid directional valve 8 switching. When the number of motor rotations during this downstroke reaches (0.85~0.9) × C... T2 Within 1.5 to 2 seconds, reduce the speed of motor 2 to 0 to 25 rpm, until the number of motor revolutions during the current stroke reaches C. T2 At that time, the outlet direction of the electromagnetic reversing valve 8 is switched, thereby switching to the upstroke of the downhole pump unit 18; After the solenoid reversing valve 8 switches, it switches back to the upstroke, and the above operation is repeated to achieve cyclic sampling of upstroke and downstroke.
[0048] In this invention, when the surface power unit is used in a deep well drainage project, it employs a variable frequency reluctance motor or permanent magnet motor and a three-cylinder plunger pump, with a cost of less than 100,000 yuan. Because the power pump uses ceramic plungers and a combined sealed three-cylinder plunger pump, the lifespan of vulnerable parts can reach 2200 hours. In contrast, the existing hydraulic system, consisting of a motor, a closed-loop plunger pump, an oil tank, a single-cylinder double-acting piston pump, and a base, uses a motor to drive the closed-loop plunger pump, controlling the hydraulic oil in the oil tank to enter the piston pump's oil chamber, thus driving the piston pump to perform its stroke and transporting the power fluid from the water chambers at both ends of the oil chamber to the downhole pump. This system costs 143,000 yuan, requires frequent piston replacement, and has a vulnerable part lifespan of only 400 hours.
[0049] It is evident that the ground power unit of the present invention reduces costs by at least 30% and increases service life by 4.5 times compared to existing technologies.
[0050] In summary, the deep well long-life drainage and gas production system, its surface power unit, and control method disclosed in this invention have the advantages of simple power system, low cost, long service life of vulnerable parts, and low maintenance cost.
