Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas field and coalbed methane field development and drainage engineering technology, and in particular to a multi-stage high-speed centrifugal pump driven downhole sand-blocking jet drainage system and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Downhole jet pumps have demonstrated significant advantages in oil and gas well production with sand, drainage gas production, and coalbed methane well drainage gas production. However, existing jet pump power hydraulic systems, due to their high injection pressure, are mostly driven by plunger pumps. Plunger pumps require frequent maintenance and frequent shutdowns to replace seals. In wells with high sand or coal dust content, sand blockage during pump shutdowns can lead to difficulties in well restarting, sometimes even forcing the tubing to be pulled out for unblocking before production can resume, causing significant inconvenience and increasing production costs. Secondly, significant adjustments to the injection / discharge rate require replacing the plunger and cylinder liner, further increasing the frequency of well shutdowns. Thirdly, in cold regions during winter, plunger pumps require indoor installation with necessary insulation and heating facilities, making fully automated unmanned control systems difficult to implement, resulting in high management and maintenance costs. Fourthly, the high noise and large space requirements of plunger pumps limit their use in areas near residential areas and offshore platform well sites.

[0003] In addition, the pump pressure of existing surface centrifugal pumps is limited by the small number of stages and low speed (less than 1500 rpm), while the existing downhole multi-stage high-pressure high-speed (greater than 2700 rpm) submersible centrifugal electric pumps have large pump shaft length, high speed, and axial fluctuation during pump start-up and operation. This makes it difficult for commonly used coupling transmission and dynamic sealing structures to adapt to high speed conditions, resulting in high temperature, high failure rate, and easy leakage at dynamic seals. As a result, such high-speed high-pressure multi-stage centrifugal pumps are still in the research and development stage in China.

[0004] Furthermore, existing downhole jet pump systems with sand production suffer from severe wear and erosion due to the complex and tortuous internal flow channels. The significant difference between the centrifugal force, impact, and shear force of sand particles during their turning flow and the fluid flow makes it difficult to maintain a long working life. When there is a power outage or the well needs to be shut down to replace the pump core, the sand in the fluid inside the wellbore will accumulate and block the pump core or flow channel. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a new type of jet pump system with a wear-resistant and sand-blocking structure. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned deficiencies in existing technologies by providing a multi-stage high-speed centrifugal pump-driven downhole sand-blocking jet drainage system and its usage method. This solves the problem that the large pump shaft length, high speed, and axial fluctuation during pump start-up and operation of multi-stage high-speed centrifugal pumps make commonly used coupling transmission and dynamic sealing structures unsuitable for high-speed conditions, resulting in a high failure rate. Furthermore, the invention improves the sand-blocking jet pump, enhancing its anti-sand-blocking performance. Its structure is novel, simple, safe, and reliable. Multiple sand-support umbrellas are also installed in sections on the small-diameter tubing to prevent sand from sinking into the pump barrel and causing sand blockage in the downhole pump and tubing.

[0006] The present invention discloses a multi-stage high-speed centrifugal pump driven downhole sand control and jet drainage system. The technical solution includes a wellhead and a water tank, with the water tank installed on one side of the wellhead.

Sand is collected by the sand-supporting umbrella, and as the liquid rises through the annular space, it carries the sand within the sand-supporting umbrella to the surface.

[0007] Preferably, the above-mentioned horizontal centrifugal pump includes a drive motor, a coupling, a discharge pipe, a high-speed vibration damping seal protector, a pump body, a foundation support, and a check valve.

[0009] Preferably, multiple water passage holes are provided at the left end of the protector body to connect the water-cooled cavity with the inner cavity of the centrifugal pump coupling. Water is connected to the inlet end of the pump body through the annular space formed between the drive shaft and the inner wall of the centrifugal pump coupling.

[0010] Preferably, the aforementioned sand-proof, pipe-plugging jet pump includes a pump barrel, a pump core, an accelerating annular seam, a flow conversion hole, a mixing chamber, a deceleration chamber, a mixed liquid flow conversion hole, a ball valve, and a retrieval head. The pump barrel has a double-layer structure, with mixed liquid flow conversion holes at the bottom of both the inner and outer barrels. A small-diameter oil pipe is connected to the top of the inner barrel, and an oil pipe is connected to the top of the outer barrel. The pump core is installed in the inner cavity of the inner barrel, and the middle part of the pump core is a hollow structure. The lower end of the pump core communicates with the lower connector of the pump barrel, and a ball valve is installed in the lower connector. The upper end of the pump core is equipped with a retrieval head; an acceleration annular slit is formed between the pump core and the inner wall of the inner cylinder as a nozzle, and a flow conversion hole is provided below the acceleration annular slit. A mixing chamber and a deceleration chamber are provided below the flow conversion hole. The power fluid is sprayed downward along the acceleration annular slit, which drives the formation fluid to enter the flow conversion hole through the ball valve, the inner cavity of the pump core and the outlet hole. Then, it enters the annulus between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder through the mixing chamber, the deceleration chamber and the mixed fluid flow conversion hole, and continues to rise along the annulus between the oil pipe and the small diameter oil pipe.

[0011] Preferably, a pump initiation cup is installed on the upper part of the pump core, and a pressure cap is installed on the upper part of the pump initiation cup. The lower outer diameter of the pump initiation cup is larger than the outer diameter of the pump core. The lower end of the pump core sits at the upper center of the lower connector.

[0012] Preferably, the aforementioned sand-supporting umbrella includes a central tube, a supporting umbrella body, an upper coupling, and a lower coupling. The upper end of the central tube is connected to the upper coupling, and the lower end of the central tube is connected to the lower coupling.

[0013] Preferably, the aforementioned sand-supporting cover includes a cover body, an upper connector, and a lower connector. The upper end of the cover body is connected to the upper connector, and the lower end of the cover body is connected to the lower connector. The cover body adopts a conical cover structure, and the inner diameter of the cover body is larger than the outer diameter of the umbrella body.

[0014] The method of using the multi-stage high-speed centrifugal pump driven downhole sand control and jet drainage system mentioned in this invention includes the following process: 1. Start the drive motor of the horizontal centrifugal pump. The drive motor drives the transmission shaft to rotate through the coupling. The transmission shaft is installed in the high-speed damping seal protector on the right side. The circulating water in the water tank is sent to the water inlet of the high-speed damping seal protector. The circulation of the circulating water in the water-cooled cavity cools down the lubrication chamber shell. In addition, the first and second dynamic seals reduce the axial fluctuation of the transmission shaft. Then, the circulating water enters the pump body and is gradually pressurized under the action of centrifugal force through multi-stage impellers. Then, it enters the small-diameter oil pipe through the single-flow valve, the outlet pipe and the wellhead as the power fluid to drive the sand-blocking jet pump in the well for drainage. 2. The power fluid enters the acceleration annular gap through the annulus between the inner cylinder and the outer wall of the pump core of the sand-proof plugging jet pump. The ejected power fluid drives the formation fluid in the inner cavity of the pump core to enter the transfer hole along the outlet hole. After being mixed with the power fluid in the mixing chamber, it enters the annulus between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder through the deceleration chamber and the mixing fluid transfer hole. It then continues to rise along the annulus between the tubing and the small-diameter tubing until it is discharged to the wellhead. 3. When the drive motor loses power or the well needs to be shut down, the sand-containing mixture in the annulus between the tubing and the small-diameter tubing stops rising, and the sand particles in the mixture will sink. When passing through each sand-sinking support umbrella and sand-sinking support cover, the sand particles sink to the bottom of the sand-sinking support umbrella and are collected. In this way, the sand in the annulus is collected in sections, avoiding the sand from sinking into the pump barrel and causing sand blockage of the downhole pump and tubing. When the well is restarted for production, the rising mixture flows through the annulus between the support cover body and the support umbrella body and sprays upward, and carries the sand in the sand-sinking support umbrella upward with the liquid flow, thereby achieving the function of preventing sand blockage. 4. When it is necessary to lift the pump core, inject power fluid into the annulus between the tubing and the small-diameter tubing at the wellhead on the ground. The power fluid flows down along the annulus between the tubing and the small-diameter tubing to the mixing fluid transfer hole of the sand-proof plugging jet pump, enters the annulus between the inner cylinder of the pump barrel and the pump core, and then passes through the deceleration chamber, mixing chamber and acceleration annulus in sequence. The power fluid pushes the pump cup, which in turn drives the pump core to move upward along the small-diameter tubing to the wellhead on the ground for removal.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The horizontal centrifugal pump used in this invention has the advantages of low noise, simple and easy adjustment of pressure and displacement parameters, no need to add heating and antifreeze facilities when used in cold regions, minimal daily maintenance, long equipment life, and reduced production costs. It has outstanding advantages over the currently used plunger pump. Among them, the high-speed shock-absorbing seal protector has the functions of transmitting high-speed torque, balancing axial thrust, lubricating and protecting the high-speed rotating dynamic sealing components, preventing overheating and shaft seizure, thermal expansion and cracking of rigid sealing rings, and preventing vibration. 2. In the event of a sudden power outage or when well shutdown is required, the sand-containing mixture in the annulus between the tubing and the small-diameter tubing stops rising, and the sand particles in the mixture sink. As they pass through each sand-supporting umbrella and sand-supporting cover, the sand particles sink to the bottom of the sand-supporting umbrella and are collected. In this way, the sand in the annulus is collected in sections, preventing the sand from sinking into the pump barrel and causing sand blockage of the downhole pump and tubing. When well production resumes, the rising mixture flows through the annulus between the support cover body and the support umbrella body and sprays upward, carrying the sand in the sand-supporting umbrella upward with the liquid flow, thereby achieving the function of preventing sand blockage. 3. The internal fluid flow channels of the anti-sand plugging jet pump of the present invention are all longitudinally parallel straight annular and columnar flow channels. There is no space for sand to accumulate in the straight flow channels, so sand particles in the formation fluid and mixed fluid are not easy to accumulate and deposit, which reduces the wear on the internal flow channels of the anti-sand plugging jet pump and enhances its anti-sand plugging performance. Its structure is novel, simple, safe and reliable. The present invention can safely and reliably pump formation fluid with sand content of 1%-12% to the surface without sand plugging and difficulty in opening the well after pump shutdown. It is more suitable for applications in quicksand formations with high sand content, oil and gas wells with unstable sand production intensity, and coalbed methane wells with high coal powder content.

[0027] The method of using the multi-stage high-speed centrifugal pump driven downhole sand control and jet drainage system mentioned in this invention includes the following process: 1. Start the drive motor 2.1 of the horizontal centrifugal pump 2. The drive motor 2.1 drives the transmission shaft 2.4.11 to rotate through the coupling 2.2. The transmission shaft 2.4.11 is installed in the high-speed damping seal protector 2.4 on the right side. The circulating water in the water tank 3 is sent to the water inlet 2.4.6 of the high-speed damping seal protector 2.4. The flow of circulating water in the water-cooled cavity cools down the lubrication chamber shell 2.4.2. In addition, the first dynamic seal 2.4.4 and the second dynamic seal 2.4.10 reduce the axial fluctuation of the transmission shaft 2.4.11. Then, the circulating water enters the pump body 2.5 and is gradually pressurized under the action of centrifugal force through the multi-stage impeller. Then, it enters the small diameter oil pipe 6 through the single-flow valve 2.7, the liquid outlet pipe 2.3 and the wellhead 1 as the power fluid to drive the sand-blocking jet pump 8 downhole for drainage. 2. The power fluid enters the acceleration annular gap 8.5 through the annular space between the inner cylinder of the sand-proof plugging jet pump 8 and the outer wall of the pump core 8.2. The ejected power fluid drives the formation fluid in the inner cavity of the pump core 8.2 to enter the transfer hole 8.6 along the outlet hole 8.13. After being mixed with the power fluid in the mixing chamber 8.7, it enters the annular space between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder through the deceleration chamber 8.8 and the mixing fluid transfer hole 8.9. It then continues to rise along the annular space between the oil pipe 5 and the small diameter oil pipe 6 until it is discharged to the wellhead 1. 3. When the drive motor 2.1 loses power or the well needs to be shut down, the sand-containing mixture in the annulus between the tubing 5 and the small-diameter tubing 6 stops rising, and the sand particles in the mixture will sink. When passing through each sand-sinking support umbrella 7 and sand-sinking support cover 10, the sand particles sink to the bottom of the sand-sinking support umbrella 7 and are collected. In this way, the sand in the annulus is collected in sections, avoiding the sand from sinking into the pump barrel 8.1 and causing sand blockage of the downhole pump and tubing. When the well is restarted for production, the rising mixture flows through the annulus between the support cover body 10.1 and the support umbrella body 7.2 and sprays upward, and drives the sand in the sand-sinking support umbrella 7 to rise with the liquid flow, thereby realizing the function of preventing sand blockage. 4. When it is necessary to lift the pump core 8.2, inject power fluid into the annulus between the tubing 5 and the small-diameter tubing 6 at the wellhead 1 on the ground. The power fluid flows down along the annulus between the tubing 5 and the small-diameter tubing 6 to the mixing fluid transfer hole 8.9 of the sand-proof plugging jet pump 8, enters the annulus between the inner cylinder of the pump barrel 8.1 and the pump core 8.2, and then passes through the deceleration chamber 8.8, the mixing chamber 8.7 and the acceleration annulus 8.5 in sequence. The power fluid pushes the pump cup 8.3, which in turn drives the pump core 8.2 upward, and it rises along the small-diameter tubing 6 to the wellhead 1 on the ground for removal.

1. Turn on the drive motor (2.1) of the horizontal centrifugal pump (2). The drive motor (2.1) drives the transmission shaft (2.4.11) to rotate through the coupling (2.2). The transmission shaft (2.4.11) is installed in the high-speed shock-absorbing seal protector (2.4) on the right side. The circulating water in the water tank (3) is sent to the water inlet (2.4.6) of the high-speed shock-absorbing seal protector (2.4). The circulation of the circulating water in the water-cooled cavity realizes the lubrication of the housing (2). 4.2) cooling and temperature reduction, in addition, the axial fluctuation of the drive shaft (2.4.11) is reduced by the first dynamic seal (2.4.4) and the second dynamic seal (2.4.10); then, the circulating water enters the pump body (2.5) and is gradually pressurized by the multi-stage impeller under the action of centrifugal force, and then enters the small diameter oil pipe (6) through the single flow valve (2.7), the liquid outlet pipe (2.3) and the wellhead (1) as the power fluid to drive the sand-proof plugging jet pump (8) downhole for drainage work; 2. The power fluid enters the acceleration annular gap (8.5) through the annular space between the inner cylinder of the sand-proof plugging jet pump (8) and the outer wall of the pump core (8.2). The ejected power fluid drives the formation fluid in the inner cavity of the pump core (8.2) to enter the transfer hole (8.6) along the outlet hole (8.13). After being mixed with the power fluid in the mixing chamber (8.7), it enters the annular space between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder through the deceleration chamber (8.8) and the mixed fluid transfer hole (8.9).

3. When the drive motor (2.1) is powered off or the well needs to be shut down, the sand-containing mixture in the annulus between the tubing (5) and the small-diameter tubing (6) stops rising, and the sand particles in the mixture will sink. When passing through each sand-sinking support umbrella (7) and sand-sinking support cover (10), the sand particles sink to the bottom of the sand-sinking support umbrella (7) and are collected. In this way, the sand in the annulus is collected in sections, avoiding the sand from sinking into the pump barrel (8.1) and causing sand blockage of the downhole pump and tubing. When the well is reopened for production, the upward flow of the mixed liquid passes through the annulus between the support cover body (10.1) and the support umbrella body (7.2) and sprays upward, and drives the sand in the sand-settling support umbrella (7) to rise with the liquid flow, thereby achieving the function of preventing sand particles from clogging.

4. When it is necessary to lift the pump core (8.2), the power fluid is injected into the annulus between the tubing (5) and the small-diameter tubing (6) at the wellhead (1) on the ground. The power fluid flows down along the annulus between the tubing (5) and the small-diameter tubing (6) to the mixing fluid transfer hole (8.9) of the sand-blocking jet pump (8), enters the annulus between the inner cylinder of the pump barrel (8.1) and the pump core (8.2), and then passes through the deceleration chamber (8.8), the mixing chamber (8.7) and the acceleration annulus (8.5) in sequence. The power fluid pushes the pump cup (8.3), which in turn drives the pump core (8.2) to move upward, and moves upward along the small-diameter tubing (6) to the wellhead (1) on the ground for removal.
