[0025] Embodiment
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , this utility model provides a technical solution: a dual-tube thermal recovery wellhead device, including an upper wellbore 5 and a lower wellbore 2. The lower wellbore 2 is located at the bottom end of the upper wellbore 5. An upper injection port 7 is provided at the top end of the upper wellbore 5. A side injection port 8 is provided on one side of the upper wellbore 5. A production outlet 9 is provided on the other side of the upper wellbore 5. An upper seal mechanism body 6 is installed inside the upper wellbore 5. Metal seals 10 are provided on the upper parts of both the upper seal mechanism body 6 and the lower seal mechanism body 3. The number of metal seals 10 is two groups. The two groups of metal seals 10 are symmetrically distributed on the upper parts of the upper seal mechanism body 6 and the lower seal mechanism body 3 respectively. Four groups of seals 11 are provided inside the two groups of metal seals 10. The sealing surfaces of two of the seals 11 face the top ends of the upper seal mechanism body 6 and the lower seal mechanism body 3, and can seal the medium from the upper channel. The sealing surfaces of the other two seals 11 face the bottom ends of the upper seal mechanism body 6 and the lower seal mechanism body 3, and can seal the medium from the lower channel. A lower seal mechanism body 3 is installed inside the lower wellbore 2. An inner heat-insulated tubing 4 is provided inside the upper wellbore 5. The inner heat-insulated tubing 4 is arranged inside the upper wellbore 5 and the lower wellbore 2. An outer heat-insulated tubing 1 is provided inside the lower wellbore 2. The outer heat-insulated tubing 1 is sleeved on the surface of the inner heat-insulated tubing 4, and an annular space is formed between the outer heat-insulated tubing 1 and the inner heat-insulated tubing 4.
[0027] Working principle: During the gas injection operation, high-temperature steam is injected into the oil reservoir through the upper injection port 7 and the side injection port 8. After the steam diffusion operation is completed, power fluid is injected into the well from the upper injection port 7 to drive the oil and gas to return from the annular space between the inner heat-insulating tubing 4 and the outer heat-insulating tubing 1, and then the oil and gas are produced from the production outlet 9. Since the lower sealing mechanism body 3 is installed inside the lower wellbore 2 and the upper sealing mechanism body 6 is installed inside the upper wellbore 5, a metal seal 10 is installed in the lower sealing mechanism body 3 and the upper sealing mechanism body 6. The metal seal 10 is composed of seal members 11. When the medium reaches the metal seal 10, it surges into the internal annular space to cause the seal members 11 to expand, realizing the seal between the sealing mechanism and the wellbore.
