Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas extraction equipment testing technology, and in particular to a device and method for testing the airtightness of the back seal of the main valve of the wellhead. Background Technology
[0002] The main valve of the wellhead is a key control component of the oil and gas wellhead production system, used to control the opening and closing of wellhead fluids. Its sealing performance directly affects the safety of oil production operations. The back seal structure is an important safety structure of the main valve of the wellhead. It is located between the valve stem and the valve cover. When it is necessary to replace the valve stem packing under pressure, the back seal structure can achieve sealing isolation, preventing high-pressure fluid in the well from leaking from the valve stem, and ensuring the safety of maintenance operations.
[0003] The airtightness of the back seal structure directly determines the safety of pressurized maintenance operations. Therefore, airtightness testing of the back seal structure is required before valve installation, after maintenance, and during regular maintenance. Existing back seal airtightness testing methods mostly employ disassembly-based testing, which requires removing the valve cover from the valve body and then fixing the back seal component with a special clamp before pressurization testing. This method has several drawbacks: firstly, disassembling the valve cover is complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, especially during wellhead operations, requiring a large number of tools and manpower, affecting work efficiency; secondly, the disassembly and reinstallation of the valve cover can easily damage the back seal structure, leading to a decrease in valve sealing performance after testing and even the risk of leakage; furthermore, existing testing tooling has poor versatility, requiring different specifications of the main wellhead valves to be equipped with corresponding testing tooling, increasing testing costs.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, some existing technologies have attempted non-disassembly-based testing solutions. However, these solutions suffer from complex fixture structures, poor sealing reliability, inability to achieve precise pressurization and leak detection, and low testing accuracy, failing to meet on-site testing requirements. Therefore, developing a portable, versatile, and valve cover-free inverted seal airtightness testing fixture and method has become a crucial need in the field of wellhead maintenance and testing.

The device is used to test the airtightness of the back seal structure 10 between the valve stem 3 and the valve cover 4. The back seal structure 10 is located radially between the valve stem 3 and the valve cover 4 and includes: a sealing assembly 1 and a pressure testing assembly 2. Specifically, it includes a sealing seat 11, an inner sealing ring 12, and an outer sealing ring 13. The outer surface of the sealing seat 11 is cylindrical, and the upper end face of the sealing seat 11 has a through hole with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the valve stem 3. The sealing seat 11 is fitted over the valve stem 3, and the inner wall of the sealing seat 11 is flush with the outer wall of the valve stem 3. The sealing seat 11 and valve stem 3 are spaced apart to ensure that a cavity can be formed between them. The inner sealing ring 12 is fixedly set on the inner wall surface of the sealing seat 11 and abuts against the outer wall surface of the valve stem 3, filling the gap between the inner wall surface of the sealing seat 11 and the outer wall surface of the valve stem 3, ensuring the sealing performance at the connection between the sealing seat 11 and the valve stem 3. The outer sealing ring 13 is fixedly set on the end face of the sealing seat 11 facing the valve cover 4 and abuts against the valve cover 4, ensuring the sealing performance at the connection between the sealing seat 11 and the valve cover 4. A detection cavity 5 is provided between the sealing seat 11, valve stem 3, valve cover 4, and inverted sealing structure 10. The pressure testing assembly 2 includes a pressure connector 21, a pressure pump 22, and a pressure gauge 23. The pressure connector 21 is fixed to the sealing seat 11 and is connected to the testing chamber 5. The pressure connector 21 is connected to the pressure pump 22. The pressure gauge 23 detects the pressure in the testing chamber 5. The pressure pump 22 inflates the testing chamber 5 to ensure the sealing of each connection. The airtightness of the reverse sealing structure 10 can be tested by detecting the pressure in the testing chamber 5.
[0024] The inner wall of the sealing seat 11 is provided with an inner groove 111, and the inner sealing ring 12 is fixed in the inner groove 111. The inner sealing ring 12 is tightly fitted with the outer wall of the valve stem 3. The end face of the sealing seat 11 facing the valve cover 4 is provided with an outer groove 112, and the outer sealing ring 13 is fixed in the outer groove 112. The outer sealing ring 13 is tightly fitted with the upper end face of the valve cover 4 to ensure that all connections are sealed. A detection chamber 5 is provided between the valve stem 3, the sealing seat 11, the inner sealing ring 12, the valve cover 4, the outer sealing ring 13, and the inverted sealing structure 10. If the pressure gauge 23 detects that the pressure drop exceeds the predetermined range and all connections are sealed, then there is a leak in the inverted sealing structure 10.
[0025] The main valve back seal airtightness testing device for the wellhead also includes a tee connector 6, with a pressure connector 21 connected to one end of the tee connector 6. The detection chamber 5 is connected to the pressure connector 21, ensuring that the pressure inside the detection chamber 5 is transmitted to the pressure sensing element without damage.

Nuts pass through the upper end of the arc-shaped clamp 8 and abut against the outer surface of the sealing seat 11, fixing the sealing seat 11 to the valve cover 4. This ensures that the sealing seat 11 does not shift during pressure testing, guaranteeing testing stability. The arc-shaped clamps 8 of the fixing component can be adapted to valve covers 4 of different diameters by adjusting the bolt spacing, improving the tooling versatility. Both arc-shaped clamps 8 have arc-shaped sealing parts 81 protruding from their inner sides. The lower end face of the valve cover 4 at least partially abuts against the upper end face of the sealing part 81, and the inner ring surface of the sealing part 81 abuts against the outer side surface of the valve cover 4. The connection between the sealing seat 11 and the valve cover 4 is provided with a double sealing structure. The first sealing structure is set at the abutment between the lower end face of the sealing seat 11 and the upper end face of the valve cover 4 to ensure that the gas in the detection chamber 5 will not leak outward.

[0027] Additionally, it includes a fastener 9, which comprises a fastening portion 91 and a lower limiting portion 92 integrally formed with the fastening portion 91. Both the fastening portion 91 and the lower limiting portion 92 are annular.

The diameter of the fastening portion 91 is smaller than the diameter of the lower limiting portion 92, and the cross-section of the fastener 9 is L-shaped. The fastening portion 91 is fixed to... The valve cover 4 can be fixed by a threaded connection, and the fixing method is not limited. The lower limit part 92 faces the sealing seat 11. The inner sides of the two arc-shaped clamps 8 are provided with upper limit parts 82, which have an L-shaped cross-section. The lower limit part 92 can be engaged with the upper limit part 82. The fastener 9 is fixed to the valve cover 4. The arc-shaped clamps 8 are engaged with the fastener 9 to improve the stability of the arc-shaped clamps 8 during pressurization, thereby ensuring the sealing of the detection chamber 5 and improving the accuracy of detecting the airtightness of the reverse sealing structure 10.
[0028] This invention also provides a method for detecting the airtightness of the back seal of the main valve of the wellhead, comprising the following steps: S1, the sealing seat 11 is sleeved on the valve stem 3, and the lower end face of the sealing seat 11 is in contact with the upper end face of the valve cover 4. Two arc-shaped clamps 8 are fixedly connected to the valve cover 4 and the sealing seat 11. A detection cavity 5 is provided between the sealing seat 11, the valve stem 3, the valve cover 4, and the inverted sealing structure 10. S2, one end of the three-way connector 6 is connected to the pressure connector 21 fixed on the sealing seat 11, and the pressure pump 22 and pressure gauge 23 are respectively connected to the other two ends of the three-way connector 6; S3, start the pressurization pump 22, slowly pressurize the detection chamber 5 to the preset pressure value, stop pressurizing, and maintain the pressure for 5 minutes; In step S4, if the pressure drop is within the allowable range, the pressurizing pump 22 continues to slowly pressurize the detection chamber 5 until it reaches 1.2-1.5 times the valve's rated working pressure, then stop pressurizing and maintain the pressure for 30 minutes; if the pressure drop exceeds the allowable range, check for leaks and reinstall the valve. S5. If the pressure drop is within the preset allowable range within 30 minutes and there are no obvious signs of leakage, the back seal is qualified for air tightness. If the pressure drop exceeds the allowable range, or if bubbles or fluid leakage are observed at the seal, the back seal is leaking and needs to be repaired or replaced.
[0029] In step S3, the preset pressure value is usually 50% of the detection pressure; in step S5, the preset allowable value range is usually 2% of the detection pressure.
[0030] In step S1, the inner sealing ring 12 is fixed to the inner groove 111, and the valve stem 3 is in contact with the inner sealing ring 12. The outer sealing ring 13 is fixed to the outer groove 112, and one end face of the outer sealing ring 13 is in contact with the upper end face of the valve cover 4. A detection cavity 5 is provided between the valve stem 3, the sealing seat 11, the inner sealing ring 12, the valve cover 4, the outer sealing ring 13, and the reverse sealing structure 10.
[0031] The test also includes step S6, after which the pressure relief valve of the pressure pump 22 is opened to slowly release the pressure in the test chamber 5. After the pressure drops to normal pressure, the pressure pump 22 and pressure gauge 23 are disassembled, and the sealing seat 11 is removed to complete the test.
[0032] This testing method constructs a sealed environment by testing the valve stem 3, valve cover 4, sealing seat 11, inverted sealing structure 10, and inner and outer sealing rings 13. A pressure gauge 23 monitors the pressure of the medium introduced through the pressurization connector 21 to determine the airtightness of the inverted sealing structure 10. Specifically, the inverted sealing structure 10 is positioned between the testing valve stem 3 and the valve cover 4. The sealing seat 11, together with the testing valve stem 3 and valve cover 4, forms the testing chamber 5. Regarding the sealing structure, the inner sealing ring 12 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the sealing seat 11 and abuts against the outer wall of the testing valve stem 3; the outer sealing ring 13 is fixedly positioned on the end face of the sealing seat 11 facing the valve cover 4 and abuts against the valve cover 4, thus ensuring the sealing performance of each connection point. In terms of the detection circuit, the pressure connector 21 is connected to the detection chamber 5 and connected to the pressure pump 22. The pressure pump 22 pressurizes the detection chamber 5, and the pressure inside the detection chamber 5 is monitored by the pressure gauge 23, thereby realizing the detection of the airtightness of the reverse sealing structure 10. The detection fixture is directly installed on the outside of the valve cover 4 without disassembling the valve cover 4, avoiding damage to the valve during the disassembly process, simplifying the detection process, greatly improving detection efficiency, and reducing the difficulty of on-site operation.
