Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas well exploitation, and particularly relates to a high-sulfur gas well wellbore sulfur deposition removal device and a removal method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] For oil and gas fields rich in hydrogen sulfide in the exploitation medium, such as the Puguang gas field in Zhongyuan oilfield, there is a serious sulfur deposition problem in the production process. Under the combined action of temperature, pressure and fluid flow state in the wellbore, elemental sulfur will continuously precipitate and adsorb on the pipe wall and the surface of downhole tools, forming a deposition in a sludge state. As the gas field development enters the middle and late stages, the drop in formation pressure exacerbates this process, causing sulfur deposition to spread from the gathering system to the deep wellbore, resulting in a continuous decrease in the effective flow diameter, and eventually causing wellbore plugging. If this problem cannot be timely and effectively addressed, it will directly lead to a sharp reduction in gas well productivity or even complete shutdown, seriously affecting the long-term stable production and economic benefits of the gas field.
[0003] Traditional management of wellbore sulfur deposition mainly relies on two technical routes of mechanical cleaning and chemical plugging removal. Mechanical cleaning refers to placing mechanical tools, such as rotary scrapers, into the wellbore to directly remove sulfur scale on the pipe wall through physical scraping. Its advantage is that it can directly remove physical plugging, but it requires high tool strength. For hard composite deposits formed by mixing with inorganic salt scale, the speed and torque of the scraper need to be adjusted according to the thickness and hardness of the deposits, otherwise there will be problems of impact overload and jamming; chemical plugging removal refers to injecting special sulfur-dissolving agents into the wellbore to chemically react with sulfur deposition to achieve dissolution and removal. Its advantage is that it can handle irregular plugging, but for deep, thick and dense sulfur plugs, the sulfur-dissolving agent is difficult to effectively penetrate and uniformly act.
[0004] In view of the respective shortcomings of the two, some advanced technologies also use a combined cleaning operation mode that combines mechanical and chemical methods. First, acid or sulfur-dissolving agent is pumped into the wellbore for soaking and dissolution, and then scraping tools are lowered to completely scrape off the dissolved and softened deposits. The combination of chemical softening can avoid the impact overload and jamming problems caused by the use of mechanical cleaning alone for hard composite deposits, and the combination of mechanical scraping operation can assist in completely removing the deposits that are difficult to penetrate and uniformly act in the chemical softening process. However, this combined cleaning operation mode still has some defects. It lacks real-time sensing capability for the hardness and thickness of the downhole deposits, making it difficult to use corresponding means for precise removal of deposits in different positions and states, but instead relies on the use of chemical agents for softening and plugging removal before performing overall scraping and cleaning operations. For some soft deposits attached in some positions, the overuse of sulfur-dissolving agents not only causes waste, but also poses the risk of contamination of the production layer due to the injection of a large amount of liquid.

As the probe rod follows the spiraling movement of the probe section, the compression change of the elastic telescopic rod under the pressure of the sediment is detected by the detection module. When the compression change under the pressure of the sediment is less than the set compression change, the control system determines that the current sediment can be directly mechanically removed. When the compression change under the pressure of the sediment is greater than the set compression change, the control system determines that the current sediment needs to be softened before mechanical removal.

The detection components can perform advance detection before cleaning, converting unknown downhole conditions into quantifiable electrical signals. This allows the control system to predict whether the hardness and thickness of the deposits attached to the wellbore exceed the safe cleaning capacity of physical and mechanical scraping operations. If it is determined that they exceed the limit, a combined cleaning operation of chemical softening followed by mechanical scraping is initiated to avoid impact overload and jamming problems caused by the scraping tool encountering hard obstacles. If it is determined that they do not exceed the limit, mechanical physical scraping is performed directly. The entire cleaning process only involves the targeted release of chemical sulfur-dissolving agents for softening when it is determined that the deposits exceed the limits of physical and mechanical scraping operations.
[0016] 1. It can achieve precise synergy between chemical and mechanical removal processes as needed. Compared with traditional composite processes that often perform a one-size-fits-all chemical treatment on the entire well section, resulting in a large waste of reagents and potential damage to the producing formation, the intelligent judgment mechanism set up in this invention ensures that expensive and potentially corrosive chemical desulfurizers are precisely delivered and used only when necessary. For large amounts of soft or thin deposits, the chemical process is bypassed and efficient mechanical removal is carried out directly. While maximizing safe scraping, the dosage of chemical reagents used is significantly reduced, reducing waste and environmental impact. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The cleaning pipe section 2 is used as the cleaning structure for removing the deposits attached to the inner wall of the wellbore, the pipe wall is provided with scraping blades 21 and a solvent spraying assembly 22 in the circumferential direction, and the solvent spraying assembly 22 is located below the scraping blades 21, the cleaning pipe section 2 can drive the scraping blades 21 and the solvent spraying assembly 22 to move synchronously under the driving of the rotating propulsion mechanism, through the scraping blades 21, the physical cleaning and scraping process of the deposits can be realized, through the sulfur solvent sprayed by the solvent spraying assembly 22, the chemical softening effect on the hard deposits can be realized, and the solvent spraying assembly 22 located below the scraping blades 21 can ensure the effect of softening first and then removing.
[0029] The detection pipe section 3 is coaxially fixed with the lower end of the cleaning pipe section 2 and is provided with a detection assembly on the upper end. The detection assembly comprises a support shaft 31, a detection rod 32, a fixed rod 33, an elastic telescopic rod 34, a detection module and a control system. The support shaft 31 is vertically connected in a slot 30 which is opened on the side wall of the detection pipe section 3. One end of the detection rod 32 is rotatably connected with the support shaft 31. One end of the fixed rod 33 is fixed with the support shaft 31. The elastic telescopic rod 34 is connected between the fixed rod 33 and the detection rod 32. The detection module is arranged on the elastic telescopic rod 34. The control system can be integrally arranged on the power pipe section 1 and is electrically connected with the detection module, the rotary propulsion mechanism and the solvent spraying assembly 22. The detection rod 32 is in contact with the surface of the deposit under the elastic support of the elastic telescopic rod 34. During the detection process, the detection rod 32 is driven by the rotary propulsion mechanism to slide on the surface of the deposit while rotating and moving downward. When the deposit has a certain thickness and hardness, the elastic telescopic rod 34 is compressed by the reverse transmission pressure of the detection rod 32. The detection module can detect whether the compression variation of the elastic telescopic rod 34 under the extrusion of the deposit reaches a preset detection threshold value, so as to determine whether the hardness and thickness of the deposit exceed the safe operation of the scraping. When the compression variation exceeds the preset detection threshold value, it indicates that the hardness and thickness of the deposit exceed the safe removal range of the scraping blade 21. Therefore, during the cleaning operation, the solvent spraying assembly 22 is controlled to spray the sulfur solvent for chemical softening operation, and then the scraping blade 21 is controlled to perform physical and mechanical removal operation, so as to avoid the problems of tool overload and blockage. When the compression variation is less than the preset detection threshold value, it indicates that the hardness and thickness of the deposit are within the safe removal range of the scraping blade 21. Therefore, during the removal operation, the rotary propulsion mechanism is controlled to drive the scraping blade 21 to perform mechanical scraping, so as to ensure that the expensive and potentially corrosive chemical sulfur solvent is accurately delivered and used only when necessary. For soft or thin layer deposits, the chemical link is bypassed and the mechanical removal is directly performed, which maximizes the safe scraping and significantly reduces the use of chemical agents, waste and environmental impact. The detection threshold value can be obtained by applying pressure to the detection assembly by using calibration materials to simulate deposits with different hardness in the simulation experiment during the experiment. The critical state when the scraping blade can stably and efficiently remove the deposit and the load begins to increase or the risk of blockage occurs is recorded. The compression amount of the elastic telescopic rod 34 at this time is measured, and the influence factors such as spring stiffness and friction coefficient are combined with the actual underground environment (temperature and pressure) to debug and correct the ground calibrated compression amount threshold value of the elastic telescopic rod 34. The theoretical basis is converted into identifiable and specific mechanical position signals.
[0030] Specifically, as an optional embodiment of the elastic telescopic rod 34, the elastic telescopic rod 34 in the embodiment includes a barrel 341, a sliding rod 342 and a spring 343, the barrel 341 is in the shape of an arc and is arranged concentrically with the support shaft 31, one end of the barrel 341 is fixedly connected with the fixed rod 33, the sliding rod 342 is in a shape matching that of the barrel 341, one end of the sliding rod 342 is slidingly connected in the barrel 341, the other end of the sliding rod 342 is fixed with the detection rod 32, the spring 343 is arranged in the barrel 341, and the two ends of the spring 343 are connected with the fixed rod 33 and the sliding rod 342 respectively, through the above arrangement, when the detection rod 32 is pressed, the sliding rod 342 can be contracted into the barrel 341 with the support shaft 31 as the rotation center and the spring 343 is compressed, compared with a straight elastic telescopic rod, the elastic telescopic rod 34 in the embodiment adopts an arc-shaped guiding design, and cooperates with the restoring force provided by the spring 343 along the tangent direction of the arc at all times, so that the detection rod 32 is stressed more reliably.
[0031] Specifically, as an optional embodiment of the detection module, the detection module in the embodiment is a magnetic switch and includes a magnetic induction element 351 and a magnet 352, the magnetic induction element 351 can be a Hall sensor, the magnetic induction element 351 is embedded on the inner wall of the barrel 341, and the magnet 352 is embedded on the inner wall of the sliding rod 342, when the magnet 352 moves to a position opposite to the magnetic induction element 351 in the compression process following the sliding rod 342, the magnetic induction element 351 senses and transmits a signal to the control system for control.
[0032] In the embodiment, the magnetic induction element 351 is arranged at a position of the sliding rod 342 relative to a calibration position of the critical thickness and hardness deposit, the position is set based on historical core experiment data and cleanout operation experience, a critical value of hardness or compression strength of a deposit distinguishing between being directly mechanically scraped and being chemically softened first is determined, a threshold region of the position of the detection rod 32 contacting the hard deposit and the deposit of a certain thickness and compressing the spring 343 is set, when the magnet 352 moves to the position opposite to the magnetic induction element 351 in the compression process following the sliding rod 342, it is indicated that the hardness and thickness of the deposit detected exceed the operation strength of cleaning by the scraping blade 21 alone, so that a signal is sent to the control system, and a complex operation of chemical pre-softening and physical removal is performed.
[0033] In another embodiment of the application, the detection assembly further includes a rotating part, the rotating part includes a first hydraulic cylinder 41 and a nut seat 42, the first hydraulic cylinder 41 is connected in the inside of the detection pipe segment 3, the nut seat 42 is fixed with the piston rod end of the first hydraulic cylinder 41 through a first connecting rod 43, the support shaft 31 is a lead screw, and the two ends of the lead screw are correspondingly rotatably connected with the upper and lower two side wall surfaces of the slot 30 through bearings, and the nut seat 42 is sleeved and connected on the lead screw.
[0034] In the embodiment, the rotating part can drive the support shaft 31 to rotate, thereby driving the elastic telescopic rod 34 and the detection rod 32 to rotate and adjust the positions thereof, so as to realize the function of extending or retracting the detection rod 32 from the slot 30, so that the detection rod 32 can be retracted to avoid being affected when the hard deposits are softened by spraying the solvent agent by the solvent spraying assembly 22. When the rotating part drives the support shaft 31 to rotate, the piston rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 41 is controlled to extend and retract, and the nut seat 42 is driven to move downward by the first connecting rod 43. Since the support shaft 31 is a screw rod, the screw rod is pressed when the nut seat 42 moves downward along the screw rod. Since the two ends of the screw rod are rotatably connected to the slot 30 by bearings, the linear motion can be converted into rotary motion to drive the screw rod to rotate.
[0035] The slot 30 is arc-shaped, and the shape of the detection rod 32 matches the slot 30. In this way, the detection rod 32 can be completely retracted into the slot 30 when being driven to rotate by the rotating part, and the elastic telescopic rod 34 is retracted into the detection tube segment 3. The end face of the end of the detection rod 32 away from the support shaft 31 is a spherical surface, and the inner arc surface of the detection rod 32 is fixed to the end of the slide rod 342. Through the above arrangement, the detection rod 32 can smoothly contact the deposits.
[0036] In order to block the softened cleaning area and reduce the loss of the solvent agent during the chemical softening and cleaning of the hard deposits by spraying the solvent agent by the solvent spraying assembly 22, the sealing assembly is arranged on the cleaning tube segment 2. The sealing assembly comprises two sealing sleeves 51, a sealing rubber sleeve 52, two partition plates 53, a gas injection pipe 54 and a piston 55. The two sealing sleeves 51 are symmetrically fixed on the outer pipe wall of the cleaning tube segment 2. The sealing rubber sleeve 52 is sealingly fixed between the two sealing sleeves 51. The two partition plates 53 are fixedly sleeved inside the cleaning tube segment 2 and located on the upper and lower sides of the sealing rubber sleeve 52, so as to form an air chamber in the cleaning tube segment 2. The circumferential side wall of the cleaning tube segment 2 is provided with a connecting hole for injecting gas into the sealing rubber sleeve 52. The partition plate 53 on the lower side is provided with a pressure relief port 531, and the first hydraulic cylinder 41 is fixed on the bottom of the partition plate 53 on the lower side. One end of the gas injection pipe 54 is connected to an external gas conveying assembly, and the other end of the gas injection pipe 54 extends into the air chamber. The piston 55 is slidingly connected in the pressure relief port 531, and the bottom of the piston 55 is fixed to the piston rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 41 by the second connecting rod 56.
[0037] In this embodiment, during chemical cleaning, the piston rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 41 is first extended. During the extension of the piston rod, the piston 55 moves downward through the second connecting rod 56, thereby sealing the pressure relief port 531 to form an inflation chamber. At the same time, the nut seat 42 moves downward through the first connecting rod 43 to compress the support shaft 31, causing the support shaft 31 to rotate and retract the elastic telescopic rod 34 and the probe rod 32 into the probe tube section 3. Then, gas is delivered to the gas injection pipe 54 through the external gas delivery assembly and injected into the inflation chamber. Since the pressure relief port 531 is blocked, as the gas is continuously injected, it will enter the sealing rubber tube 52 through the connecting hole and cause the sealing rubber tube 52 to expand radially. This expands the sealing rubber tube 52 and forms a set seal with the inner wall of the wellbore, forming a temporary closed reaction chamber. The area between the solvent spraying assembly 22 and the probe rod 32 is separated. At this time, the external gas supply assembly stops injecting gas and remains in a charged state. This allows the sealing tube 52 to receive the sulfur-dissolving agent sprayed from above during the chemical softening and cleaning of hard deposits by the sulfur-dissolving agent sprayed by the solvent spraying assembly 22, so that the sulfur-dissolving agent can fully combine with the deposits. After the reaction is completed, the piston rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 41 is controlled to retract. In the opposite direction of the above movement, the piston 55 moves upward to open the pressure relief port 531. At this time, the gas in the sealing tube 52 will be discharged through the pressure relief port 531 and through the slot 30, thereby releasing the setting state. The support shaft 31 rotates in the opposite direction to extend the elastic telescopic rod 34 and the probe rod 32 from the slot 30 for detection.
[0038] Specifically, the solvent spraying assembly 22 includes multiple nozzles 221 and a delivery pipe 222. The multiple nozzles 221 are evenly distributed and fixed around the circumferential sidewall of the cleaning pipe section 2 and are located above the sealing tube 52. The delivery pipe 222 passes through the air injection pipe 54. One end of the delivery pipe 222 is connected to the external liquid delivery assembly, and the other end of the delivery pipe 222 extends to the bottom of the air injection pipe 54 and is connected to the multiple nozzles 221 respectively through the multi-port pipe 223.

Place the cleaning device into the well shaft to be cleaned.
[0040] The specific process is as follows: using ground lifting equipment, steel wire ropes are lowered through the fixed part 61 to... The power pipe section 1, the cleaning pipe section 2, and the detection pipe section 3 are placed inside the wellbore. The height of the cleaning device is adjusted by adjusting the release length of the wire rope. When it moves to the area to be cleaned, the power pipe section 1 is fixed to the center of the inner wall of the wellbore by multiple sets of telescopic arms 82.
[0041] S2, control the rotary propulsion mechanism to drive the cleaning pipe section 2 and the detection pipe section 3 to rotate down by a distance equal to the vertical distance between the scraping blade 21 and the detection rod 32.
[0042] The specific process is that the first hydraulic cylinder 41 is controlled to act, the detection rod 32 is rotated and unfolded to the detection state, the control system instructs the rotary propulsion mechanism to start, and the driving device moves down by a preset step length L in the rotary drilling mode, the step length L is equal to the vertical distance between the scraping blade 21 and the detection rod 32.
[0043] S3, the detection pipe section 3 rotates down and moves, and the thickness and hardness of the deposit are detected by the detection rod 32 in contact with the deposit, when the detection rod 32 rotates with the detection pipe section 3, the compression change amount of the elastic expansion rod 34 extruded by the deposit is detected by the detection module, when the compression change amount extruded by the deposit is less than the set compression change amount, the control system judges that the current deposit can be directly mechanically removed, and when the compression change amount extruded by the deposit is greater than the set compression change amount, the control system judges that the current deposit needs to be softened before being mechanically removed.
[0044] S4, after the current detection ends, the rotary propulsion mechanism is controlled to drive the cleaning pipe section 2 and the detection pipe section 3 to continue to move down by the same distance, the cleaning pipe section 2 executes the corresponding removal process according to the last detection result of the detection rod 32 in the moving process, and the detection pipe section 3 executes the detection process of the deposit attached to the next area of the wellbore in the moving process.
[0045] S5, the above process is repeated until the cleaning of the entire attached area of the wellbore to be cleaned is completed.
[0046] The above disclosure is only the preferred several specific embodiments of the present application, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, and any changes that can be thought of by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present application.
