Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of downhole jet drainage pump technology, and particularly to a downhole jet drainage pump suitable for gas-liquid two-phase drive and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, downhole jet pumps used in oil and gas wells, coalbed methane wells, and in-situ leaching oil wells are generally suitable for a single phase of driving medium, either water or gas. However, as the gas-liquid ratio, pressure, and production parameters of the downhole products change, the initial driving medium and method become unsuitable and uneconomical. This necessitates retrieving the well tubing to replace the new downhole jet pump and its associated downhole tools when the driving medium needs to be changed. This is not only time-consuming but also increases production costs. This is especially true for natural gas wells, shale gas wells, and coalbed methane wells. During the drainage phase, the well produces a large amount of water but produces relatively little gas, requiring water as the driving fluid to discharge large volumes of water accumulated in the formation. After a period of production, the formation pressure decreases, the water production decreases, and the water-to-gas ratio also decreases. If water-driven jet drainage is still used, energy consumption increases and economic efficiency decreases. If produced gas is used as the driving medium, energy consumption is lower, and surface treatment costs are also lower, making it more suitable for drainage in the mid-to-late stages of low pressure and low production. For coalbed methane wells, in the early production stage, water production is relatively high and gas production is relatively low, i.e., the water-to-gas ratio is high. At this time, the gas's water-carrying capacity is weak, and water-driven jets are efficient, convenient, and effective in removing sand and coal dust. In the later stages of extraction, the production of water, pulverized coal, and sand is lower, the water-to-gas ratio of the gas well is even lower, and the gas's ability to carry water becomes stronger, making gas-driven extraction more economical and feasible. However, for offshore oil and gas wells, and oil and gas wells whose products contain hazardous gases such as hydrogen sulfide, replacing the tubing string is risky and costly.
[0003] Our company applied for Chinese patent number 2025109134688 on July 3, 2025, entitled "Downhole Gas-Water Two-Phase Jet Drainage Device and Usage Method". The technical solution is as follows: the lower outer wall of the hydraulic pump body is provided with one or more rubber cups, and the upper end of the hydraulic pump body is connected to the lower end of the pneumatic pump body through the hydraulic pump upper connector; the outer side of the pneumatic pump body is equipped with a gas distribution and gas collection umbrella pipe, and the inside of the pneumatic pump body is provided with a pneumatic throat, a droplet micronizer and a pneumatic nozzle. A pneumatic diffusion chamber is provided in the upper part of the pneumatic throat, and a pneumatic nozzle is provided in the lower part of the pneumatic throat. A droplet micronizer is provided on the upper side, the lower end of the pneumatic nozzle is connected to the air inlet, and the upper end of the pneumatic nozzle is connected to the mixed liquid channel. The aforementioned invention integrates a hydraulic pump body and a pneumatic pump body into a compact and novel structure. It combines high-pressure water jet to accelerate atomized liquid flow with high-pressure gas jet to achieve jet drainage, significantly increasing the lifting head. It also provides negative pressure suction to remove blockages within the production layer. Its drawback is that it does not employ a pump core suitable for two-phase gas-liquid drive, thus preventing flexible switching between hydraulic and pneumatic drives. Summary of the Invention

The hydraulic nozzle is provided with a first throat and a first diffuser below it. A first flow-switching hole is provided below the first diffuser and is connected to the mixed liquid outlet. The hydraulic pump core assembly is provided with a first formation fluid suction hole on one side of the hydraulic nozzle. The formation fluid enters the annulus formed by the inner wall of the hydraulic pump core assembly and the pump barrel assembly along the formation fluid inlet channel, and then enters the mixing zone below the hydraulic nozzle along the first formation fluid suction hole. Finally, it is discharged into the annulus of the tubing and casing along the first throat, the first diffuser, the first flow-switching hole and the mixed liquid outlet.
[0010] Preferably, a first pump cup is installed on the upper side of the above-mentioned liquid-driven pump core assembly, and is located above the first pump core fixing protrusion; the bottom end of the liquid-driven pump core assembly is a cap structure, and multiple first flow holes are distributed on the lower side wall of the liquid-driven pump core assembly, and first sealing rings are respectively installed on the lower side wall and the upper side wall of the liquid-driven pump core assembly.
[0011] The method for using a downhole jet pump suitable for gas-liquid two-phase drive, as mentioned in this invention, includes the following steps: First, a downhole jet pump suitable for gas-liquid two-phase drive, a packer, a check valve, and a tailpipe are connected through tubing and then lowered into the casing. A liquid-driven jet pump core is then inserted into the tubing in the well. The liquid-driven jet pump core is fixed by a first pump core fixing protrusion and a pump core support seat. The lower section of the liquid-driven pump core assembly is inserted into the lower pump core installation channel, the middle section is located in the central cavity, and the upper section is located in the upper pump core installation channel. The lower and upper sections of the liquid-driven pump core assembly are respectively equipped with first sealing rings on their outer walls. At the wellhead on the surface, positive circulation hydraulic jet production is carried out by injecting dynamic fluid into the tubing. Second, after the formation pressure, production capacity, and sand content have been significantly reduced, at the wellhead on the surface, by injecting power fluid into the annulus of the tubing and casing, and through reverse circulation construction, the power fluid pushes the liquid-driven jet pump core upward until it is pulled out to the surface. Third, at the wellhead on the ground, a gas-driven jet pump core is inserted into the tubing. The gas-driven jet pump core is fixed by the second pump core fixing protrusion and the pump core support seat. The lower section of the gas-driven jet pump core is inserted into the lower pump core installation channel, the middle section is located in the central cavity, and the upper section is located in the upper pump core installation channel. The lower and upper sections of the gas-driven jet pump core are respectively equipped with a second sealing ring. At the wellhead on the ground, positive circulation pneumatic jet drainage operation is carried out by injecting power gas into the tubing. In the process of injecting power fluid for positive circulation hydraulic jet drainage production, after the liquid-driven jet pump core is set in the pump assembly, the power fluid from the ground enters the power fluid inlet of the liquid-driven jet pump core along the oil pipe, continues to flow downward through the power fluid channel and is ejected through the liquid-driven nozzle, forming a low pressure at the first formation fluid suction hole, which in turn draws the formation fluid into the first throat tube for energy mixing, then flows downward into the first diffuser tube for deceleration and pressure increase, and then is discharged through the first transfer hole and the mixed liquid outlet to the annulus between the oil pipe and the casing, and then returns to the ground. In addition, during positive circulation gas jet production, after the gas-driven jet pump core is set in the pump assembly, the gas from the ground enters the gas inlet of the gas-driven jet pump core along the oil pipe. It continues downward along the gas channel through the gas through the uniformly distributed gas through hole on the fixed tail end of the pneumatic center rod, and then sprays downward along the annular space formed by the center rod body and the inner cavity of the pneumatic nozzle. A low pressure is formed at the second formation fluid suction hole, which draws the formation gas-liquid mixture into the pneumatic atomizing throat for energy mixing. It then descends into the pneumatic diffuser to decelerate and pressurize, and then is discharged through the second transfer hole and the mixture outlet to the annulus between the oil pipe and the casing, and then returns to the ground.
[0012] Preferably, by installing an atomizer below the second formation fluid intake hole, the gas-liquid mixture of the formation enters along the inwardly inclined atomizing hole, and then mixes and atomizes in the annular pneumatic atomizing throat to form a gas-water mist mixture. The gas is then decelerated and pressurized by the pneumatic diffuser before being discharged.
[0013] Preferably, for medium-deep wells, an air lift valve is added through the tubing, located above the downhole jet pump suitable for gas-liquid two-phase drive, and the inner diameter of the air lift valve is larger than the outer diameter of the liquid-driven jet pump core or the gas-driven jet pump core.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: I. This invention can optimize and change the driving mode of the jet drainage power medium in a timely manner according to the mining needs and the supply of surface power medium under the condition of no moving tubing string. The switching between liquid drive and gas drive can be achieved by simply dropping liquid-driven or gas-driven jet pump cores, which flexibly meets the needs of high-speed liquid drainage production and low-speed gas exhaust production, timely improves drainage efficiency and economic benefits, enhances the adaptability of the jet pump drainage system after changes in well condition parameters, and ensures that the downhole jet drainage system is in a good low-energy consumption operation state. Second, the present invention has a simple structure, reliable use, and easy operation for replacing the pump core. It is not only suitable for gas wells and coalbed methane wells, but also suitable for cost-reducing exploitation of oil wells and shale oil wells with large variations in formation pressure environment. Third, this invention adopts two methods: liquid drive or gas drive, and matches the gas lift valve according to the pump depth. Its tubing structure is novel, suitable for a wide range of well conditions, with large margin for system optimization and dynamic control. It is suitable for a wide range of well conditions, with low energy consumption, good reliability and excellent economy. Fourth, in addition, the air-driven jet pump core of the present invention is equipped with an atomizer. The gas-liquid mixture of the stratum enters along the inwardly inclined atomizing holes and is mixed and atomized in the annular pneumatic atomizing throat, forming a more uniform gas-water mist mixture, which makes the pump efficiency higher.
