Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil production, in particular to a gas compression pressure-bearing positive flushing well control valve. Background Art

[0002] A large number of oil production wells in the oilfield need to be hot-washed regularly according to the hot-washing cycle. The current well-washing method is reverse well-washing, that is, hot water is injected into the annular space (casing-tubing annulus) between the casing and the tubing, and is sucked back into the tubing by the sucker rod pump. The amount of well-washing fluid used for a single well in a single reverse well-washing is 30 cubic meters, and the static liquid column pressure per kilometer is 10 MPa. After superimposing the pump pressure, it exceeds the formation static pressure, causing a large amount of well-washing fluid to enter the formation, resulting in formation pollution, increasing the drainage time after well-washing, affecting the oil production, and the well-washing fluid generates heat exchange with various media after entering the casing, resulting in large heat loss, and the temperature difference between the well-washing fluid temperature after entering the tubing and the inlet temperature is large, affecting the hot-washing quality. Therefore, considering positive well-washing from the tubing to the casing-tubing annulus, only 6-8 cubic meters of well-washing fluid can achieve the effect of 30 cubic meters of reverse well-washing, saving a large amount of well-washing fluid. And the well-washing pump pressure acts inside the tubing, and the formation only bears the static liquid column pressure, which can greatly reduce the amount of well-washing fluid entering the formation, shorten the drainage time after well-washing, and effectively avoid formation pollution. However, the existing positive well-washing lacks a well-washing control valve with a simple structure and convenient application. Content of the Utility Model

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] The utility model provides a gas compression pressure-bearing positive well washing control valve, comprising an upper joint 1, an outer tube 2, a support core sleeve 3, a lower joint 4, a gas pressure structure 5 and a support arm 6, wherein the two ends of the outer tube 2 are respectively sleeved on the upper joint 1 and the lower joint 4 and are sealed, the support core sleeve 3 is located inside the outer tube 2 and the interior of the lower joint 4 is connected to the lower end of the support core sleeve 3, an annular accommodation space 7 is formed between the outer tube 2, the support core sleeve 3 and the lower joint 4, the gas pressure structure 5 and the support arm 6 are both located in the annular accommodation space 7 and the gas pressure structure 5 is filled with gas, and the support arm 6 can move in the annular accommodation space 7;

[0036] There is an annular opening 8 between the lower end of the upper joint 1 and the support core sleeve 3, and a flow hole 21 is provided on the side wall of the outer tube 2. The annular opening 8 is connected to the flow hole 21 through the annular accommodating space 7, and the communication path between the annular opening 8 and the flow hole 21 can be blocked or connected when the support arm 6 moves. The utility model provides a gas compression pressure-bearing positive well washing control valve, in which the upper joint 1 and the lower joint 4 are respectively connected to two adjacent oil pipes, and the lower joint 4 is close to the oil pump. When oil is produced, the oil pump is started, and the liquid will be transported from the lower joint 4 to the upper joint 1. At the same time, the pressure of the liquid on the support arm 6 is less than the thrust of the air pressure structure 5 on the support arm 6. The support arm 6 will block the communication path between the annular opening 8 and the flow hole 21, thereby preventing the liquid from entering the oil casing annulus, so that the liquid is transported upward along the oil pipe; when the well is washed, the oil pump is closed, and the washing fluid (i.e., hot water) will flow from the upper joint 1 to the lower joint 4.

The support arm 6 will move downward, and the gas in the air pressure structure 5 will be compressed. Then the communication path between the annular port 8 and the flow hole 21 will be connected, and the well washing fluid will enter the oil casing annulus from the communication path and return to the ground to realize positive well washing.

[0037] As an alternative implementation, the pneumatic structure 5 includes a cylinder block 51 and a piston sleeve 52. Both the cylinder block 51 and the piston sleeve 52 are located in the annular accommodation space 7. One end of the piston sleeve 52 is located inside the cylinder block 51, and the other end of the piston sleeve 52 is connected to the support arm 6. The cylinder block 51 is filled with gas. When the pressure of the gas in the cylinder block 51 is greater than the pressure of the liquid on the support arm 6, the pressure of the gas will push the piston sleeve 52 upward, and then push the support arm 6 upward; when the pressure of the gas in the cylinder block 51 is less than the pressure of the washing fluid on the support arm 6, the pressure of the washing fluid will push the support arm 6 downward, and then push the piston sleeve 52 downward. As a result, the gas in the cylinder block 51 is compressed until the pressure generated by the compressed gas in the cylinder block 51 is the same as the pressure of the washing fluid, or when the limit platform 64 can abut against the upper end of the middle section 32, the support arm 6 will stop.

When the support arm 6 blocks the communication path between the annular through hole 8 and the flow hole 21, the first inclined structure 61 will contact the second inclined structure 11 and press the seal 9, so that the first inclined structure 61 and the second inclined structure 11 are sealed, and at the same time, the limit end face 62 will abut against the lower part of the first inclined structure 61, thereby restricting the support arm 6 from moving upward further. The hydraulic end face 63 is to increase the pressure contact area between the washing fluid and the support arm 6, so as to facilitate pushing the support arm 6 downward.

[0040] As an alternative implementation, the support core sleeve 3 includes an upper half section 31, a middle section 32, and a lower half section 33.

[0042] As an optional implementation manner, sealing rings are provided between the upper joint 1 and the outer cylinder 2, between the outer cylinder 2 and the support arm 6, between the support arm 6 and the support core sleeve 3, between the outer cylinder 2 and the lower joint 4, and between the lower joint 4 and the support core sleeve 3 for better sealing.
