Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water injection well antifreeze, in particular to a water injection well mouth antifreeze device. Background Art

[0002] During the development of oil fields, water is injected into the reservoir through special water injection wells to maintain or restore the oil layer pressure, so that the reservoir has a strong driving force to increase the production speed and recovery rate of the reservoir. Yanchang Oilfield is located in the Ordos Basin. In winter, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the lowest temperature is low, and it is often accompanied by strong winds. When the water injection wells set up in the field are in the harsh winter environment and are in production for a long time, the performance of the pipeline is easily changed due to the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the pipeline, which poses a production risk. Therefore, the wellhead device of the water injection well needs to be antifreeze treated in winter.

[0003] In the prior art, antifreeze measures are mainly divided into three forms: insulation cotton, electric heating and the combination of insulation cotton and electric heating. Insulation cotton is used to insulate the water injection wellhead. Each well repair operation or measures operation must destroy the insulation cotton. After the operation is completed, the wellhead is re-insulated, resulting in a waste of insulation materials; electric heating is to pass electricity through the electric heating tape and wrap the heating tape on the pipe wall, valve or gate to heat the internal medium, but in an extremely cold environment, the power supply is easily damaged and the heating tape is powered off, and the heating tape wrapped around the pipe wall needs to be removed in reverse during maintenance, which increases the maintenance time and workload; although the combination of insulation cotton and electric heating can preserve the heat of the electric heating through the insulation cotton, it is still necessary to remove the insulation cotton and the heating tape when encountering maintenance operations, which also increases the maintenance workload and maintenance time.

[0004] Therefore, the existing antifreeze and heat preservation measures have the problem of wasting materials and increasing workload before and after maintenance work. Utility Model Content

[0049] The water inlet pipe 41 is arranged at the water inlet of the igniter 3, the water inlet is connected to the water injection pipeline of the water injection well, and the outlet is fixedly connected to the igniter 3.

[0050] The water outlet pipe 42 is arranged on the igniter 3 , and its inlet is fixedly connected to the igniter 3 , and is used to output the hot water heated after the ignition of the igniter 3 .

[0051] The winding pipe 44 is respectively arranged on the oil pipe 2 and the casing 1, and covers the pipe wall of the oil pipe 2 and the casing 1. Its inlet is connected to the outlet of the water outlet pipe 42, and is used for heating the pipe wall of the oil pipe 2 and the casing 1 through the hot water inside it.

[0058] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the winding tube 44 in this embodiment is in a "bow" shape. The winding tube 44 is in a curved semicircular shape. The winding tube 44, which is a combination of the "bow" shape and the semicircular shape, has a unique structure, can be well coated on the pipe wall, and has the characteristics of simple and firm structure, is not easy to be damaged, and has a long service life.

[0059] Specifically, the winding pipe 44, the transition pipe 45 and the branch pipe 46 in this embodiment are all made of polyethylene, which has good low temperature resistance, flame retardancy and flexibility, and can be applied to the cold working environment in the oil field.

[0060] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the heat preservation component 5 in this embodiment includes:

[0066] Please combine Figure 1-Figure 5The process of antifreeze heating and disassembly and assembly is described as follows:

[0067] Antifreeze heating process

[0068] The water inlet pipe 41 transports the water to be heated to the igniter 3. After the igniter 3 works, the water is heated to obtain hot water. The hot water is transported to the inlet of the winding pipe 44 in the heat preservation pipe 51 through the water outlet pipe 42. The winding pipe 44 gradually heats up after the hot water is introduced. The hot water is transported to the transition pipe 45 and the branch pipe 46 respectively, thereby heating the casing 1, the oil pipe 2, the casing four-way 6 and half of each valve respectively. At the same time, the released heat is stored in the heat preservation pipe 51. The heat conductive layer 52 gradually transfers the heat to the casing 1, the oil pipe 2, the casing four-way 6 and the other half of each valve, thereby achieving the purpose of heating and antifreezing. The end outlet of the winding pipe 44 outputs water with a lower temperature. The water enters the igniter 3 through the return pipe 43 and is continuously heated to achieve the effect of repeated recycling and ensure continuous heating.

[0069] Disassembly process

[0070] When it is necessary to inspect the casing 1, the oil pipe 2, the casing spool 6 and the valves, it is only necessary to disconnect the connection between the bypass pipe 44 and the outlet pipe 42 and the return pipe 43. Since the bypass pipe 44, the transition pipe 45 and the branch pipe 46 are flexible, it is only necessary to remove the bypass pipe 44, the transition pipe 45 and the branch pipe 46. When the inspection is completed, the bypass pipe 44, the transition pipe 45 and the branch pipe 46 are reinstalled in the original position, so the disassembly and assembly process is simple and can be reused, which prolongs the service life of the bypass pipe 44 and reduces the inspection cost.

[0071] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the utility model, and it is not a limitation of the utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make non-creative modifications to the embodiment as needed, but as long as it is within the protection scope of the utility model, it is protected by the patent law.
