[0002] CBM can be produced by drainage to reduce reservoir pressure and realize water and gas production in CBM wells. When CBM wells are mined, in addition to a large amount of CBM, some water will be produced in the wellbore at the same time, which will also carry a certain amount of coal powder into the wellbore. The existence forms of CBM in the wellbore mainly include free, dissolved and adsorbed. Under normal circumstances, most of the free CBM is produced from the annular space between the oil pipe and the casing to the ground and enter the ground pipeline system; a small amount of free, dissolved and adsorbed CBM is discharged into the ground drainage pool with the drainage water. In this case, it will cause waste in the development of CBM resources. On this basis, the recovery and reuse of gas in the water produced by CBM wellhead will be beneficial to saving energy and improving the economic benefits of CBM development. At present, gas recovery and reuse technology mainly draws on the oil and gas recovery technology in the development of oil and gas fields.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the utility model or the technical solutions in the prior art, the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the utility model. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative work.
[0015] like Figure 1As shown: a gas recovery device at the wellhead of a coalbed methane well, comprising an inlet pipe 1, an outlet pipe 2 and a U-shaped pipe 3, wherein the first pipe opening 3.1 of the U-shaped pipe 3 is closed, and the second pipe opening 3.2 is used to connect the outlet pipe 2, the first pipe opening 3.1 of the U-shaped pipe 3 is higher than the second pipe opening 3.2, the inlet pipe 1 and the riser where the first pipe opening 3.1 of the U-shaped pipe 3 is located are vertically intersected, and the intersection node is lower than the first pipe opening 3.1 of the U-shaped pipe 3 and higher than the second pipe opening 3.2; the first pipe opening 3.1 of the U-shaped pipe 3 is connected to an exhaust pipeline; the bottom of the U-shaped bend of the U-shaped pipe 3 is connected to a sewage pipe 8, and a sewage valve 7 is provided on the sewage pipe 8.
[0016] The water entering from the water inlet pipe 1 impacts the wall of the U-shaped pipe 3, and the water falls to the bottom of the U-shaped pipe 3. The coalbed methane carried in the water floats up to the first pipe opening 3.1 of the U-shaped pipe 3, and the coalbed methane enters the low-pressure gathering and transportation device through the exhaust pipeline; the coalbed produced water and a small amount of coal powder carried enter the U-shaped bend of the U-shaped pipe 3, and the coal powder is fully settled in the U-shaped bend, which also makes the adsorbed gas in the coal powder fully desorbed. After opening the sewage valve 7, the fully desorbed coal powder is discharged into the sewage pool through the sewage pipe 8. Finally, the produced water flows to the water outlet pipe 2, so that the produced water of the coalbed methane well is discharged normally.
[0017] The diameter of the water inlet pipe 1 is smaller than that of the U-shaped pipe 3, so the water entering the U-shaped pipe 3 from the water inlet pipe 1 can complete gas-water separation more efficiently.
[0018] The exhaust pipeline includes a first exhaust pipe 5 and a second exhaust pipe 4. The first exhaust pipe 5 is connected to the first pipe opening 3.1 of the U-shaped pipe 3, and the first exhaust pipe 5 is parallel to the vertical pipe where the first pipe opening 3.1 is located; the second exhaust pipe 4 and the first exhaust pipe 5 are vertically intersected; a vent valve 10 is arranged on the first exhaust pipe 5 above the intersection node with the second exhaust pipe 4, and an exhaust valve 11 is arranged on the second exhaust pipe 4.
[0019] A pressure gauge 6 is connected to the first pipe opening 3.1 of the U-shaped tube 3, and a valve 9 is provided on the air inlet pipe of the pressure gauge 6. The air pressure in the U-shaped tube 3 is observed by the pressure gauge 6, and when the air pressure in the U-shaped tube 3 is too high, the vent valve 10 is opened to release the pressure.
[0020] A gas one-way valve 12 is provided on the second exhaust pipe 4 to prevent the coalbed methane in the second exhaust pipe 4 from being sucked back when the vent valve 10 is opened to release pressure.
[0021] The water outlet pipe 2 is a 90° elbow pipe, and is smoothly connected to the second pipe opening 3.2 of the U-shaped pipe 3. A flange is connected to the pipe opening of the water outlet pipe 2; and a flange is connected to the pipe opening of the water inlet pipe 1.
