Description

Technical Field

[0002] Conventional CBM well screw pump extraction systems generally use a test cable bundled outside the oil pipe to transmit downhole pressure sensor signals and realize real-time monitoring of downhole pressure and temperature. When the liquid level is low or the CBM concentration is high in the later stage of CBM extraction and production, and cannot meet the normal extraction and production requirements, downhole fluid replenishment is carried out through the reinjection water pipe bundled outside the oil pipe to dilute the downhole coal powder and replenish the downhole liquid, thereby realizing continuous extraction of the screw pump and preventing the screw pump from getting stuck or burning due to insufficient fluid supply or intermittent extraction.

[0003] Bundling the pressure gauge cable and reinjection water pipe on the outside of the oil pipe requires a large outer diameter of the overall pipe string, which is limited in high-angle well types such as directional wells and horizontal wells. The cable and reinjection water pipe are easily damaged during the process of lifting and lowering the pipe string. When the downhole pressure sensor fails, the entire pipe string needs to be lifted out of the well before the cable and pressure gauge can be replaced. This process is slow, costly, has a great impact on the well condition, and is prone to the risk of failure of other equipment. Utility Model Content

[0023] like Figure 2As shown, the monitoring device includes a built-in storage pressure gauge 9, the top of which is connected to a second connecting piece 8, a first connecting piece 7 for docking with the second connecting piece 8 is arranged above the second connecting piece 8, and a wire rope 6 is connected above the first connecting piece 7; specifically, the first connecting piece 7 and the second connecting piece 8 are both hooks; the built-in storage pressure gauge 9 is a purchased part, and its specific structure, working principle and usage are all existing technologies, which are not repeated here; the built-in storage pressure gauge 9 has a battery inside, which can monitor the pressure and temperature downhole in real time; when it is necessary to view the downhole monitoring data, the wire rope 6 is lowered through the hollow sucker rod 5 to dock the first connecting piece 7 and the second connecting piece 8. After the docking is completed, the built-in storage pressure gauge 9 is taken out using the wire rope 6, and the data is read on the ground. The entire operation process can be carried out without stopping the screw pump.

[0024] like Figure 5 As shown, the limiting device 10 is configured as a disc having a plurality of through holes, the disc being connected to the inner wall of the rotor 4, the through holes on the disc allowing liquid to pass through, the built-in storage pressure gauge 9 being located above the disc, and the built-in storage pressure gauge 9 being limited by the disc; in actual use, when the storage pressure gauge reaches above the disc, it will no longer move downward, and at this time the built-in storage pressure gauge 9 reaches a predetermined position.

[0025] It also includes a ground water-gas separation tank 13, one side of which is connected to a liquid reinjection pipe 14, which is communicated with the universal rotary joint 2, and the other side of the ground water-gas separation tank 13 is connected to an exhaust pipe 17, the top surface of the ground water-gas separation tank 13 is connected to a liquid inlet pipe 15 and an overflow pipe 16, the liquid inlet pipe 15 is communicated with the liquid outlet tee 12, and valves 19 and pressure gauges 20 are installed on the liquid reinjection pipe 14, the liquid inlet pipe 15 and the exhaust pipe 17, and the bottom surface of the ground water-gas separation tank 13 is connected to a sewage pipe 18, and a sewage valve 21 is installed on the sewage pipe 18.

At the same time, the liquid flows from low to high and then from high to low in an S-shaped state, relying on the gravity of the liquid to achieve gas-liquid separation.

[0027] The rotor 4 works, causing the underground water-gas mixture to enter the interior of the pump through the liquid inlet below the rotor 4. The rotation of the rotor 4 drives the water-gas mixture to rise, and finally the water-gas mixture enters the liquid outlet tee 12, and enters the surface water-gas separation tank 13 through the liquid inlet pipe 15. After treatment, the gas is discharged through the exhaust pipe 17, and the liquid remains in the surface water-gas separation tank 13.
