Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil production in the petroleum industry, and particularly relates to a coiled tubing injector. Background Art
[0002] Existing coiled tubing for oil production in the petroleum industry requires the use of a coiled tubing injector. To meet the requirements of high lifting force and fast lifting speed for deep wells and quick operations, a high-power hydraulic motor is generally used to drive a sprocket to rotate and raise and lower the coiled tubing, and a hydraulic cylinder is used to clamp the chain to hold the coiled tubing to provide friction, so that the coiled tubing injector can complete the raising and lowering of the coiled tubing.
[0003] The coiled tubing injector head is the core component of the coiled tubing equipment and is widely used in the fields of oil and gas extraction and stimulation. Its function is to drive the coiled tubing in and out of the well to perform various downhole operations.
[0004] If the clamping force is applied improperly, it will directly damage the coiled tubing. If the clamping force is too small, when the clamping block clamps the coiled tubing, the coiled tubing will slip, and the clamping block cannot hold the coiled tubing, directly scratching the surface of the coiled tubing. Since the coiled tubing is a vulnerable part, it is expensive and cannot be repaired. Once damaged, it can only be used at a reduced level or scrapped. If the clamping force is too large, although the coiled tubing can be held, the excessive clamping force will directly affect the service life of the coiled tubing. Summary of the Utility Model
