Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of offshore oil drilling equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic throttling manifold for pressure-controlled drilling. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of oil drilling, the choke manifold plays a crucial role in wellbore pressure control. The choke manifold can control the wellbore pressure, thereby protecting the wellhead equipment and drilling equipment. When the wellbore pressure is too high, the pressure can be reduced by adjusting the choke manifold to prevent damage to the wellhead equipment and drilling equipment.

[0003] While existing throttling manifolds can regulate pressure and release pressure when it is too high, they cannot filter the return fluid, which can easily lead to blockage of the throttling line and affect the subsequent pressure reduction function. Although some existing throttling manifolds have filtration mechanisms, most of them only use filter cylinders with filter screens to achieve filtration, resulting in poor filtration effect and low filtration efficiency. They also require frequent cleaning and maintenance and cannot break up large-sized rock cuttings and other foreign objects. It should be noted that this invention can be used in marine drilling. Summary of the Invention

The crushing shaft 317 passes through the pulley 1. The pulley 2 is coaxially and fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 2 310. The pulley 1 and the pulley 2 are connected by a belt.

[0039] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When the crushing and filtering assembly is working: Downhole fluid (mud, rock cuttings, etc.) enters the feed cylinder 303 through the feed pipe 304, and then enters the filter cylinder 312. The output shaft of motor 308 drives the crushing shaft 317 to rotate. The rotation of the crushing shaft 317 drives multiple crushing cones 316 to rotate. Simultaneously, the output shafts of the crushing cones 316 drive the pulleys on the belt drive assembly 309 to rotate. The pulleys drive the pulleys, which in turn drive the filter cylinder 312 to rotate via a belt. It should be noted that the filter cylinder 312 and the crushing shaft... The opposite rotation direction of 317 ensures that the mud and rock fragments inside the filter cylinder 312 can fully contact the crushing cone 316, thereby improving the crushing effect on the mud and rock fragments inside the filter cylinder 312. Because the crushing and filtering assembly is inclined (the height of one end of the feed pipe 304 from the support base 101 is higher than the height of one end of the filter cylinder 312 from the support base 101), and the side of the filter cylinder 312 near the support ring 315 is a closed section, the liquid entering the filter cylinder 312 will not fall directly into the discharge pipe 305 below, preventing liquid from flowing out... The problem of direct discharge from the discharge pipe 305 is addressed by multiple rotating crushing cones 316, which crush large-sized mud and rock fragments in the liquid. The crushed smaller mud and rock fragments enter the filter cylinder 311 through filter hole 1, then through filter hole 2 on filter cylinder 311 into the support cylinder 301, and finally through the discharge pipe 306 into the throttling pipeline. Meanwhile, the large-sized mud and rock fragments that are not completely crushed are thrown out of the discharge port 314 by centrifugal force to the outside of filter cylinder 312, where they are conveyed by the spiral conveyor blades 313. The rotating conveyor allows large-sized mud and rock cuttings to move towards the discharge pipe 305 along with the spiral conveyor blades 313. When they reach the discharge pipe 305, they are discharged from the discharge pipe 305 into the recovery pipeline for recycling. This greatly improves the crushing and filtering effect on downhole liquids, mud, and rock cuttings, avoids clogging of subsequent throttling pipelines, ensures the stability of the throttling manifold operation, and solves the technical problem that existing technologies can only perform crushing or filtering separately. This improves work efficiency and effectiveness while saving space and cost.

[0040] When pressure reduction is required on one side of the throttling pipeline, open the corresponding flat valve 205 on the inlet pipeline and the corresponding flat valve 406 in the throttling pipeline, while simultaneously closing the other side's flat valves 205 and 406, and closing flat valve 402. If flow monitoring of the throttling pipeline is not required, close both flat valves 603 and 608, and open flat valve 507. The downhole fluid flows through the five-way connector. The feed tube 201 passes through flat valve 205 and four-way connector 206 into the crushing and filtering assembly for crushing and filtration. It then passes through throttle valve 401 for pressure reduction, and then through connecting pipe 203, four-way connector 204, connecting pipe 305, flat valve 306, and connecting pipe 407 into four-way connector 301. Finally, it is discharged externally through four-way connector 301, connecting pipe 605, four-way connector 406, flat valve 507, and four-way connector 508. In the recovery pool; if it is necessary to use the flow monitoring pipeline to monitor the flow of the throttling pipeline, close the flat valve 507, and open one side of the flat valve 603 and flat valve 7 608. The downhole fluid enters the crushing and filtering assembly through the five-way connector 201, flat valve 205, and four-way connector 1 206 for crushing and filtering, then passes through the throttling valve 401 for pressure reduction, and then through connecting pipe 2 403, four-way connector 2 404, connecting pipe 3 405, and flat valve 3 406. 06. Connecting pipe 407 enters four-way connector 3501, and then passes through four-way connector 3501, connecting pipe 6505, four-way connector 4506, and flat valve 603 before entering flow meter 601 for flow monitoring. Then, it is discharged into the external recovery tank through four-way connector 604, four-way connector 7606, connecting pipe 8607, flat valve 7608, and four-way connector 5508, thus facilitating the monitoring of the flow in the throttling pipeline through the flow monitoring pipeline.

[0041] When the pressure is too high and the throttling pipeline cannot meet the pressure reduction requirements, open the flat plate valve 4 502 and the flat plate valve 5 507, and close the two flat plate valves 2 205, 6 603 and 7 608. Use the venting pipeline to release and reduce pressure. During the venting and pressure reduction, the downhole fluid is discharged into the recovery pool through the connecting pipe 5 503, the flat plate valve 4 502, the four-way connector 3 501, the connecting pipe 6 505, the four-way connector 4 506, the flat plate valve 5 507 and the four-way connector 5 508.

[0042] It should be noted that when reducing pressure, only one of the two throttling lines is used, with the other as a backup. If one of the throttling lines fails, the other is used to reduce pressure, thus avoiding the inability to achieve the required pressure reduction due to a throttling line failure. In addition, both flow monitoring lines can monitor the flow of both throttling lines. Only one flow monitoring line is used to monitor the flow of one throttling line at a time, thereby ensuring the stability of flow monitoring.
