Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of oil and gas exploitation and booster delivery pump, and particularly relates to a double-pump system based on a lead screw driven electric submersible pump and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of oilfield exploitation, electric submersible pump systems are widely used for deep well liquid lifting to improve oil well productivity. In deep well, high pressure or high viscosity fluid working conditions, the traditional electric submersible pump system faces many challenges, such as limited head, high energy consumption, large axial force and high maintenance cost. The head of a single-stage pump is limited, and if a higher liquid level needs to be lifted, the number of pump stages usually needs to be increased, but too many stages not only reduce system efficiency, but also increase mechanical loss. The traditional electric submersible pump mainly relies on the direct drive of the motor to drive the impeller or screw, and the long shaft transmission structure often leads to large power loss, and due to the unbalanced liquid pressure, it is easy to produce excessive axial force, aggravate equipment wear and tear, and shorten the service life.

[0003] Cascade pumps realize higher head and flow by connecting two or more stages of pumps in series to adapt to deep well and high viscosity working conditions. Most of the existing double-pump systems have an upper and lower distributed structure, which causes the center of gravity of the system to deviate, making it inconvenient to install underground and affecting its running stability. The traditional motor is usually placed at the top or bottom of the system, which causes the transmission chain to be long, thereby increasing mechanical loss and failure rate. In the harsh environment of high temperature and high pressure underground, the traditional motor driving mode has the risk of overload and poor cooling effect, affecting the long-term running stability.

[0040] In combination with all the technical solutions described above, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0041] Firstly, the present application is based on a screw rod driven submersible electric pump double pump system, which comprises a tubing, an oil inlet cavity cover plate, a liquid inlet valve, a liquid outlet valve, an upper working chamber end cover, a cylinder body, a plunger, a light rod, an upper pump lower end cover, a motor system, a hose and a lower pump liquid outlet valve, the screw rod is driven to rotate up and down reciprocating movement by the motor, the light rod is driven to move by the plunger in the form of the screw rod driving the light rod, so as to realize oil and gas lifting and conveying, and ensure high energy efficiency, high displacement conveying of multi-phase fluids such as high viscosity, gas-liquid mixed phase, high solid impurity containing crude oil and the like under high sand content and various chemical environments.

[0042] Secondly, the present application adopts a screw rod driving technology and a motor centrally arranged, and the two pumps are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the motor. The design reduces the overall gravity center of the system, so that the motor can efficiently drive the double pump work through the screw rod mechanism.

And it is generally believed that the sealing of screw drive is difficult, and it is not suitable for complex environment in the well. The present application uses the indirect transmission structure design of "screw-rod-plunger" to convert the sealing of screw to the sealing of rod, while retaining the high efficiency driving characteristics of screw drive, proving its applicability and efficiency in the well.

The upper pump plunger 7 is movably housed within the upper pump cylinder 6.

[0065] The upper pump plunger 7 reciprocates within the upper working chamber B1 to achieve the intake and discharge of liquid.

The upper pump plunger 7 is installed inside the upper pump cylinder 6 and is driven by the upper pump guide rod 101 to realize reciprocating up and down movement;

[0069] The upper working chamber end cap 5 is provided with an upper liquid inlet channel 15 for connecting the upper liquid inlet chamber A1 and the upper working chamber B1; and a liquid outlet channel 16 for connecting the upper working chamber B1 and the liquid outlet chamber C.

When the shaking amplitude or frequency exceeds the set threshold value, the control system can issue an alarm or perform a speed reduction or shutdown operation, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the system.

[0077] As shown in Fig. 1 , Fig. 2 ,

[0078] The lower pump system comprises a lower pump plunger 17 connected to a lower pump light rod 107; the lower pump plunger 17 is freely slidably accommodated in a lower pump cylinder body 18;

[0079] A lower pump liquid discharge port 20 is formed between the lower pump cylinder body 18 and a lower working cavity end cover 19; the lower pump liquid discharge port 20 is communicated with the oil pipe 1 through the hose 11; and the liquid is delivered to the ground;

[0080] The lower pump plunger 17 and the lower working cavity end cover 19 form a lower pump working cavity B2;

[0081] A lower pump liquid inlet port 22 is formed between the lower working cavity end cover 19 and a lower pump oil inlet cavity cover plate 21;

[0082] The lower working cavity end cover 19 and the lower pump oil inlet cavity cover plate 21 form a lower pump liquid inlet cavity A2;

[0083] The lower pump inlet cavity A2 contains the lower pump inlet valve 23 installed on the lower working cavity end cover 19;

[0084] The lower pump oil delivery channel 24 is formed on the lower working cavity end cover 19 and communicates with the lower pump working cavity B2 and the lower pump inlet cavity A2;

[0085] Exemplarily, the static sealing device is arranged between the lower pump inlet cavity cover plate 21 and the lower pump cylinder 18 to prevent oil leakage; and the static sealing device is arranged between the lower working cavity end cover 19 and the lower pump cylinder 18.

[0086] Exemplarily, the dynamic sealing device 8 is arranged between the lower pump light rod 107 of the motor system 10 and the lower pump cylinder 18 to realize sealing, the dynamic sealing device 8 realizes sealing through cooperation of the V-shaped sealing ring and the retainer, and the dustproof ring and the sand throwing ring are arranged on the outer side to realize multi-layer protection, so that oil and impurities are prevented from flowing into the motor system 10 and the service life is improved.

[0087] Exemplarily, the present application provides a control method of the double-pump system based on the screw rod driving submersible electric pump, which comprises the following steps:

[0088] The screw nut 103 is fixedly connected to the hollow motor rotor 104 through the spline, the motor rotor 104 drives the screw nut 103 to rotate reversely, thereby driving the screw rod 102 which is threadedly matched with the screw nut 103 to perform linear reciprocating motion in the axial direction; the upper part of the screw rod 102 is the upper pump light rod 101, the upper pump light rod 101 is connected with the upper pump plunger 7, and the periodic change of the volume of the motor integrated pump cylinder is realized through the up-down reciprocating motion of the upper pump plunger 7; when the screw rod 102 reversely rotates, the upper pump light rod 101 moves downward, thereby driving the upper pump plunger 7 to move downward, the volume of the upper working cavity B1 increases, and the oil enters the upper working cavity B1 through the upper pump inlet valve 3 under the action of the pressure difference, thereby completing the suction process of the upper pump system; at the same time, the lower pump light rod 107 moves downward, thereby driving the lower pump plunger 17 to move downward, the volume of the lower pump working cavity B2 decreases, the oil pressure increases, the oil is discharged through the hose 11, thereby completing the discharge process of the lower pump system; when the screw rod 102 rotates forward, the upper pump light rod 101 moves upward, thereby driving the upper pump plunger 7 to move upward, the volume of the upper working cavity B1 decreases, the oil pressure increases, the oil is discharged through the upper pump discharge valve 4, thereby completing the discharge process of the upper pump system; at the same time, the lower pump light rod 107 moves upward, thereby driving the lower pump plunger 17 to move upward, the oil enters the lower pump working cavity B2 through the lower pump inlet valve 23 under the action of the pressure difference, thereby completing the suction process of the lower pump.

[0089] The opening directions of the upper pump inlet valve 3, the upper pump discharge valve 4 and the lower pump discharge valve 12 are all toward the direction of the oil pipe 1, so as to ensure that the flow directions of the liquids are consistent.

[0090] The valve cores of the upper pump inlet valve 3, the upper pump discharge valve 4 and the lower pump discharge valve 12 are all spherical, so as to ensure that the flow of the liquids is not hindered.

[0091] The lead screw 102 adopts a ball screw or a threaded screw to adapt to different working requirements.

[0092] The example realizes the forward and reverse rotation of the lead screw 102 by connecting a servo motor or a bidirectional motor, and guarantees efficient and stable operation.

[0093] As can be seen from the above examples, in order to guarantee that the upper pump plunger 7 does not rotate during movement, the inner wall surface of the upper pump cylinder body 6 and the outer wall surface of the upper pump plunger 7 can be matched by a key groove, or a cylinder body and a plunger structure with a non-circular section are adopted. The motor system 10 is located in the middle of the double-pump system, the lead screw 102 is integrally machined with the upper and lower pump light rods 107, and the forward and reverse reciprocating motion of the lead screw 102 causes the light rod to reciprocate, thereby driving the plunger to reciprocate.

[0094] In order to improve the sealing performance, a static sealing device is arranged between the upper pump oil inlet cavity cover plate 2 and the upper pump cylinder body 6 to prevent oil leakage. A static sealing device is also arranged between the upper working cavity end cover 5 and the upper pump cylinder body 6 to prevent high-pressure oil from leaking into the liquid inlet cavity. A dynamic sealing device 8 is arranged between the light rod and the end cover to reduce wear and improve system life.

[0095] The double-pump system of the present application adopts a ball screw or a threaded screw, and the forward and reverse rotation of the lead screw 102 can be realized by a motor. The upper end of the hose 11 is threadedly connected with the upper pump oil inlet cavity cover plate 2, and the lower end is connected with the lower pump cylinder body 18 by a threaded joint and a high-pressure clamp to guarantee stable installation and facilitate maintenance. In addition, the hose 11 is fixed by a metal bracket and a clamp to avoid shaking of the hose 11, improve the stability of the system, and ensure reliable operation of the system under high-load working conditions. The material of the hose 11 is selected to be a polyurethane high-pressure hose to be suitable for high-sand oil wells and also suitable for deep wells.

[0096] In order to guarantee the sealing performance of the system, the lead screw 102 in the present application does not directly contact the plunger, but adopts a structure in which the lead screw connects the light rod, and the light rod connects the plunger. Compared with the structure in which the lead screw 102 directly connects the plunger, the sealing of the structure is easier to realize.

[0097] As can be seen from the above examples, the double-pump system based on the lead screw driven submersible electric pump proposed in the present application adopts lead screw driving technology to enable the pump to realize higher fluid delivery efficiency under the same power condition, and significantly improve the energy conversion efficiency.

[0098] The double-pump system based on the lead screw driven submersible electric pump proposed in the present application, since the lead screw 102 does not directly contact the plunger, but connects the light rod to drive the plunger, the sealing at the end cover is easier, and the service life of the lead screw 102 is improved, and the risk of failure caused by wear is reduced.

[0099] It can be understood that if the lead screw 102 directly drives the plunger movement, the seal needs to be arranged around the lead screw 102, and the lead screw 102 has a spiral groove and a rotating movement, which is difficult to seal efficiently. In the structure, the lead screw 102 drives the light rod, and then the light rod pushes the plunger to reciprocate, and the sealing of the light rod is easier than the sealing of the lead screw 102.

[0100] The double-pump system based on the lead screw driven submersible electric pump provided in the application has a double-pump parallel working structure, reduces the complexity of the pump body, is easy to install and maintain, and is especially suitable for use in difficult-to-access environments.

[0101] The double-pump system based on the lead screw driven submersible electric pump provided in the application adopts wear-resistant materials and an optimized structure design, can stably operate in a fluid containing sand and impurities, and improves the durability and reliability of the equipment.

[0102] The double-pump system based on the lead screw driven submersible electric pump provided in the application has a double-pump parallel working structure, reduces the complexity of the pump body, is easy to install and maintain, and is especially suitable for use in difficult-to-access environments.

[0103] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment focuses on different aspects, and the parts not described or recorded in a certain embodiment can be referred to the related description of other embodiments.

[0104] The following will theoretically analyze the positive effects of the application compared with the traditional submersible electric pump:

[0105] High energy utilization rate: the lead screw driving mode converts the rotating movement of the lead screw 102 into the linear movement of the light rod piston, and the transmission efficiency can reach 85%-95%, which is much higher than the transmission efficiency of the traditional submersible electric pump.

[0106] Low maintenance cost: the integrated lead screw 102 and light rod structure reduces part of the transmission components, the single maintenance time is reduced compared with the maintenance time of the traditional submersible electric pump, and the annual maintenance cost is expected to be reduced by 40%.

[0107] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the application, but the protection scope of the application is not limited thereto, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the technical range disclosed in the application and within the spirit and principles of the application should be covered within the protection scope of the application.
