[0002] With the advancement of drilling technology, the use of platform well technology is becoming more and more widespread. Platform well mining is the simultaneous production of multiple wells in a platform, and centralized management of all wellheads. In platform well production, due to the single-well natural gas gathering and transportation process, the gas well needs to be opened and closed so that the natural gas output from the wellhead has sufficient gas pressure to achieve transportation. When the well is closed for a period of time and then opened again, hydrate blockage is prone to occur due to the low wellhead temperature and the inability of the gas well to produce water and heat up immediately. Therefore, each well needs to be equipped with a complete set of water jacket furnace equipment to heat the natural gas produced at the wellhead through the water jacket furnace equipment so that the natural gas is heated to the process required temperature to prevent the formation of hydrates, thereby reducing the probability of hydrate blockage.

[0003] For platform well mining, multiple water-jacket furnaces need to be set up in one platform according to the number of wellheads. Multiple water-jacket furnace equipment occupies a large area, has a complex structure and high maintenance requirements.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a wellhead throttling gas transmission system, taking two gas production pipelines 1 as an example, the two gas production pipelines 1 are connected to corresponding gathering pipelines 3 through throttling pipelines 2 respectively, and the two gas production pipelines 1 are connected to a water jacket furnace 4, and the water jacket furnace 4 is connected to each of the gathering pipelines 3 respectively.

[0031] In this embodiment, the gas production pipeline 1 includes a gas wellhead 11 and a gas production tree 12 connected by pipelines. The gas production tree 12 is connected to either the throttling pipeline 2 or the water jacket furnace 4. A first valve 22, a throttling valve 21 and a second valve 23 are sequentially arranged on the throttling pipeline 2 along the air flow direction. The first valve 22 and the second valve 23 can both control the on and off of the throttling pipeline 2. The throttling valve 21 can adjust the gas flow rate to achieve gas delivery state adjustment.

[0032] Preferably, the first valve 22 and the second valve 23 are both gate valves or stop valves, which have a simple structure, are easy to operate, and are easy to maintain, and can better meet the technical requirements of on-site operations.

[0033] Preferably, the throttle valve 21 is a needle angle valve. The needle angle valve has the characteristic that the inlet axis and the outlet axis form an angle of 90°, which can be easily assembled to form a compact pipeline structure, facilitate the integration and modularization of multiple throttling pipelines 2, further reduce the floor space of the gas transmission system, and reduce the site requisition and construction costs. At the same time, the flow coefficient curve of the needle valve core is stable, the throttling effect is good, and it can meet the technical requirements of on-site use.

[0034] In this embodiment, a third valve 5 is arranged between the inlet side of the water jacket furnace 4 and each gas production pipeline 1, a fourth valve 6 is arranged between the outlet side of the water jacket furnace 4 and each gathering pipeline 3, and the inlet sides of the first valve 22 and the third valve 5 are connected to a pipeline diversion port 7, and the outlet sides of the second valve 23 and the fourth valve 6 are connected to a pipeline confluence port 8, so that the throttling pipeline 2 is arranged in parallel with the pipeline where the water jacket furnace 4 is located, and can work independently.

[0035] Preferably, the third valve 5 and the fourth valve 6 are both gate valves.

[0036] In a wellhead throttling gas transmission system of the present embodiment, two gas production pipelines 1 are equipped with a water jacket furnace 4, which reduces the number of water jacket furnaces 4 in a multi-well state, reduces the floor space occupied by the water jacket furnace 4, and makes the gas transmission system structure simple. At the same time, the pipeline where the water jacket furnace 4 is located and the throttling pipeline 2 are arranged in parallel. When in use, the gas production pipeline 1 can be connected to the gathering pipeline 3 through the water jacket furnace 4, and can also be connected to the gathering pipeline 3 through the throttling pipeline 2, so that the gas production pipeline 1 can be adjusted to be connected with the water jacket furnace 4 or the throttling pipeline 2 according to actual conditions, so as to realize the natural gas transmission through the water jacket furnace 4 or the natural gas transmission through the throttling pipeline 2. When the gas production pipeline 1 is transporting through the throttling pipeline 2, the water jacket furnace 4 can be maintained and repaired, which is convenient for the maintenance of the water jacket furnace 4 and reduces the maintenance requirements.

[0037] A wellhead throttling gas transmission system of the present embodiment is used. When a gas production pipeline 1 is opened for gas production, the third valve 5 and the fourth valve 6 on the pipeline where the water jacket furnace 4 is located are first opened, so that the natural gas of the gas production pipeline 1 is transported along the water jacket furnace 4 and enters the corresponding gathering pipeline 3, so that the natural gas whose temperature has not yet risen in the early stage of wellhead gas production is heated by the water jacket furnace 4, and then enters the gathering pipeline 3 after the temperature is raised to the transportation standard. After the temperature of the wellhead output natural gas has risen to the transportation standard, the first valve 22 and the second valve 23 on the throttling pipeline 2 are opened, the throttling valve 21 is adjusted according to the working conditions, and then the third valve 5 and the fourth valve 6 of the pipeline where the water jacket furnace 4 is located in parallel with the throttling pipeline 2 are closed, so that the natural gas is transported along the throttling pipeline 2 corresponding to the gas production pipeline 1, and then transported to the downstream through the gathering pipeline 3. In daily use, the throttling pipeline 2 composed of the first valve 22, the throttle valve 21 and the second valve 23 replaces the water jacket furnace 4 to realize natural gas transportation, which greatly reduces the overall equipment volume and weight of the wellhead gas transmission system, reduces the floor space, reduces the site requisition and construction costs, and is simple to operate and easy to maintain, convenient for centralized management, and reduces equipment maintenance costs.

[0038] Furthermore, in some other embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, three or four gas production pipelines 1 may be connected in parallel to one water jacket furnace 4. One water jacket furnace 4 can be switched between multiple wellheads to maximize the utilization of the heat of the water jacket furnace 4. At the same time, for adjacent gas production pipelines 1, switching work can be performed to connect to the water jacket furnace 4 or to connect to the throttling pipeline 2 according to actual conditions to ensure smooth delivery of the gas flow at the wellhead 11 of the gas well.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
