Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oil and gas collection safety, in particular to a hydraulic safety valve system. Background Art
[0002] As a safety cut-off valve for high-sulfur-resistant wellheads, the hydraulic safety valve is the last line of defense to ensure safe production in high-sulfur gas fields. It can prevent wellhead gas from leaking under high pressure. The closing time of the hydraulic safety valve refers to the time it takes for the valve to completely close from a fully open state. Factors that affect the closing time of the valve include the pressure in the cavity, the viscosity of the hydraulic oil, the spring force, and the oil return speed of the control system. Figure 1 As shown, currently the hydraulic safety valve at the gas production wellhead is directly connected to the control cabinet through the oil return pipeline, and the control cabinet controls the recovery of the pressurized medium in the hydraulic chamber of the hydraulic safety valve to close the hydraulic safety valve.
[0003] However, when the pressure in the well is low, field tests have shown that the closing time of the hydraulic safety valve at the gas wellhead is 4-30 minutes. The long closing time of the hydraulic safety valve is due to the slow oil return speed of the control system, which leads to a long closing time of the hydraulic safety valve, which does not meet the actual needs of rapid well closing on site.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution to solve the technical problem of slow oil return speed of the hydraulic safety valve control system at the gas wellhead. Utility Model Content
