Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil drilling and fracturing, in particular to a sand-proof flat valve structure. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous breakthrough of shale gas drilling and production depth (over 7,000 meters) and the continuous increase in the number of single well fracturing stages (over 40 stages), the pressure demand during fracturing construction is also getting higher and higher. For ultra-deep well shale gas production, the pressure required for fracturing construction reaches 120 MPa to 130 MPa, and even the peak pressure will exceed 138 MPa under some working conditions. The maximum design pressure of the fracturing flat gate valve in the standard specification is 138 MPa. The fracturing flat gate valve with a working pressure of 138 MPa designed according to the standard cannot be used stably for a long time under ultra-deep well shale gas fracturing conditions. Due to the high pressure, high sand content, high mesh fracturing sand, and multiple stages, the fracturing sand can easily enter the valve body cavity of the fracturing flat gate valve or the sealing surface where the valve seat and the valve body fit together with the help of pressure during the construction process. This will cause the fracturing flat gate valve in the fracturing wellhead device to fail to open and close normally, or the valve seat seal will fail. Once this happens, it will greatly increase the risk of well control, affect drilling and production efficiency, and may even cause serious consequences such as blowouts. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing fracturing flat gate valve to adapt to the new working conditions. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and proposes a sand-proof flat valve structure.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:
