Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil production equipment, in particular to a novel downhole oil pipe heating device. Background Art

[0002] Petroleum is a fluid mineral buried deep underground. At present, in the actual exploitation process of oil wells in special oil and gas reservoirs such as heavy oil, high-viscosity oil and condensate gas, the sucker rods are often stuck or broken due to thick oil, wax deposition and excessive load, which seriously affects the output and recovery rate. Heating the oil pipe can improve the fluidity of crude oil and increase production.

[0003] The oil pipe is divided into the above-the-hole oil pipe and the downhole oil pipe. The heating of the downhole oil pipe is mainly to wrap the electric heating wire on the oil pipe, and indirectly heat the crude oil in the oil pipe by heating the oil pipe. In order to ensure that the electric heating wire is not corroded and aged underground, this electric heating wire heating method needs to wrap a layer of protective shell on the outside of the electric heating wire and seal the electric heating wire inside. In order to improve the protection ability of the protective shell to the electric heating wire, the protective shell and the oil pipe are usually welded and sealed. However, this method is not convenient for disassembly. When the electric heating wire is damaged and needs to be repaired, the maintenance personnel need to spend a lot of time to disassemble the oil pipe, which greatly reduces the maintenance efficiency of the electric heating wire.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new downhole oil pipe heating device to strengthen the protection of the heating wire while facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the heating wire and the protective shell, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the heating wire. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the problem that the existing downhole oil pipe electric heating wire is not easy to disassemble and replace, resulting in low maintenance efficiency, and now provides a new downhole oil pipe heating device.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is:

[0007] A novel downhole oil pipe heating device comprises a sleeve sleeved on the outside of the oil pipe, a heating coil is arranged in the sleeve, the heating coil is sleeved on the outside of the oil pipe, the length of the sleeve is the same as the length of the oil pipe, one end of the sleeve is provided with an internal thread, the other end of the sleeve is provided with an external thread, the internal thread and the external thread match each other, a limiting hole is provided on the side wall of the sleeve in a direction perpendicular to the axis, the limiting holes are evenly distributed axially, a limiting member is provided in the limiting hole, the limiting member penetrates into the limiting hole and can be blocked at the junction of the oil pipe and the oil pipe coupling.

[0008] Furthermore, a fixing frame is fixedly connected inside the sleeve, the fixing frame is arranged along the axial direction of the oil pipe, a fixing hole is provided on the fixing frame, and the heating coil is fixed in the fixing hole.

[0009] Furthermore, locking holes are provided around the fixing hole, and the heating coil is also provided with a locking hole. A locking piece is provided in the locking hole, and the locking piece fixes the heating coil in the fixing hole.

[0010] Furthermore, four limiting holes are respectively arranged at both ends of the sleeve, and a limiting member is correspondingly arranged in each limiting hole.

[0011] Furthermore, a fixing groove for accommodating the cable is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve, and the fixing groove is placed along the axial direction of the sleeve.

[0012] Furthermore, the two sleeves can be threadedly connected through internal threads and external threads thereon, and the coupling of the oil pipe is located at one end of the sleeve where the internal threads are located.

[0013] Furthermore, when the two sleeves are threadedly connected, the two oil pipes therein can also be connected via a coupling.

[0014] Furthermore, the diameter of one end of the sleeve where the internal thread is located is larger than the diameter of the oil pipe coupling.

[0015] Furthermore, a thread is provided in the limiting hole, and the limiting member is a screw.

[0016] The utility model discloses a novel downhole oil pipe heating device, in which the sleeve and the oil pipe have the same length. When the oil pipes are butt-jointed through the couplings thereon, the sleeve on the outside of the oil pipe can also be butt-jointed through the internal thread and external thread thereon, so that the oil pipe can be wrapped in the sleeve, thereby protecting the oil pipe. The limiting hole can accommodate a limiting member, and when the limiting member is inserted into the limiting hole, it can block the junction between the oil pipe and the oil pipe coupling to prevent the oil pipe from axially moving in an upright state. The limiting hole and the limiting member are provided at both ends of the sleeve, so both ends of the sleeve have a limiting function, thereby ensuring the limiting effect. Compared with the traditional technology, when the heating coil or sleeve and other components in the technical solution need to be disassembled and replaced, it is only necessary to take out the limiting member from the limiting hole to pull the sleeve out from one end of the oil pipe, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance and improves the maintenance efficiency.
