Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil production wellheads, and particularly relates to a multifunctional oil production wellhead device. Background Art
[0002] Oil production refers to various engineering and technical measures taken according to development objectives during the oilfield exploitation process, which is the process of extracting petroleum buried in underground oil reservoirs to the ground through various technological methods, including the operation of production wells and injection wells. This process involves multiple stages and various technical means, mainly including natural flow production method, artificial lift method, etc. The oil production wellhead plays a crucial role in the oil extraction process. Its main function is to connect surface facilities with downhole tubing to ensure the smooth production of crude oil from underground oil reservoirs and its transportation to the ground. Specifically, the oil production wellhead device includes three parts: a casing head, a tubing head, and a Christmas tree body. The oil production wellhead device plays a key role under different types of oil production methods and conditions. Its design directly affects the production efficiency and safety of the oilfield. Functional upgrading of the oil production wellhead device can effectively improve oil production efficiency, reduce production costs, and ensure the safety of oil wells.
[0003] The utility model patent with the patent announcement number CN217001763U discloses a multifunctional connection device for an oil production wellhead, including a check valve, and also provided with an external device connection mechanism and a data acquisition mechanism. The external device connection pipe in the external device connection mechanism can be threadedly connected to the production valve of the wellhead through a double male joint one, and can be connected to the multifunctional acquisition pipe in the data acquisition mechanism through a double male joint two; the multifunctional acquisition pipe is threadedly connected to the check valve through a double male joint three and can be bolted to the backpressure valve of the wellhead through the check valve. At the same time, the temperature and pressure transmitter installed in this device prevents the occurrence of data acquisition distortion, and does not affect the connection and installation of external devices. However, when this structure is actually used, it cannot monitor the dynamic liquid level of the oil production wellhead and the water content in the oil-gas-water mixture inside the oil production wellhead in real time, resulting in engineers being unable to grasp the change trend of oil and gas production, so that engineers cannot change the oil production process parameters in a timely manner, reducing the oil and gas recovery rate. Therefore, a multifunctional oil production wellhead device is proposed now. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a multifunctional oil production wellhead device to overcome the deficiency that engineers in the prior art cannot timely grasp the change trend of oil and gas production.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

After the produced fluid detected by the tax-inclusive analyzer is pressure-tested again at the second pressure gauge, it can be discharged from the right-angle pipe for sampling.
[0012] Further, a third stop valve is installed between the second three-way joint and the intake hose. One end of the third stop valve is connected to the second three-way joint, and the other end is connected to the intake hose.
