Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an oil production device, more specifically, to an underground electric heating device for a self-flowing well in an oil field. Background Art
[0002] Flowing oil production is a method of producing oil in which, when reservoir pressure exceeds the pressure of the fluid column within the wellbore, the oil in the reservoir is automatically lifted out of the wellbore through the tubing and Christmas tree. During the production process of a flowing well, as formation energy decreases, wellbore pressure, fluid velocity, and production gradually decrease, making wax deposition more likely. Furthermore, the process of lifting crude oil from the bottom of the well to the surface involves a continuous decrease in pressure and temperature. When the temperature and pressure drop to a certain level, wax will precipitate from the crude oil. Wax deposition on the inner wall of the tubing and wellbore equipment can affect well production, reduce the inner diameter of the tubing, and in severe cases, block the tubing, causing the flowing well to cease flowing.
[0003] Existing wax removal technologies are not suitable for the self-flowing production of empty wellbore shale oil wells. For example, hot-wash wax removal involves flushing hot water into the wellbore and establishing a hot water circulation system through the tubing and casing to remove wax. Chemical wax removal involves injecting a wax removal agent into the wellbore, which also requires establishing a tubing and casing circulation system. Hollow rod electric heating wax removal lacks a matching high-pressure blowout prevention device. Coiled tubing wax removal operations are expensive and time-consuming, making regular wax removal impossible. To address the wax deposition problem in the later stages of self-flowing shale oil well production, a more adaptable wax removal technology is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0017] In order to help those skilled in the art better understand the present invention, the following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the downhole electric heating device for the oilfield flowing well includes an upper component A and a lower component B. The upper component A is connected to the lower component B through a cable S. The upper component A includes a blowout preventer 1, a choke tube 2 and a blowout preventer 3. The choke tube 2 is located below the blowout preventer 1, and the blowout preventer 3 is located below the choke tube 2. The lower component B includes a weighting rod 4 and an electric heating rod 5. The electric heating rod 5 is located below the weighting rod 4.
[0019] It should be noted that the cable S passes through the blowout preventer 1 , the choke tube 2 and the blowout preventer 3 .
[0020] The blowout preventer 1 acts as a seal, isolating the high pressure inside the well and ensuring safety during operation. The choke tube 2 provides a step-by-step pressure reduction function. The head of the heating rod 5 is provided with a conical heating head 51, which has a spring 52 inside.
[0021] In addition, the spray head 1 is a double overflow spray head.
[0022] The following describes the working mode of the downhole electric heating device for the oilfield flowing well, including the following steps:
[0023] Step S1, ground assembly of wax cleaning device: pass the cable S through the spray head 1 of the upper assembly A, pass through the oil pipe short section D from the bottom, and then connect the weight rod 4 and the electric heating rod 5 in sequence. The connection combination of the weight rod 4 and the electric heating rod 5 is also called "electric heating tool string", such as Figure 3 As shown;
[0024] Step S2, installing the blowout preventer: Install the blowout preventer head 1 on the upper gate of the wellhead K, tighten the cable S, place the electric heating tool string in the tubing nipple D at the bottom of the blowout preventer, slowly open the gate and steadily increase the pressure to a stable level, then check all parts of the blowout preventer for leakage. After confirming that there is no leakage, fully open the gate;
[0025] Step S3: Lower the discharge heating tool string. The test vehicle or winch controls the cable to be lowered. After it slowly passes through the wellhead K, the lowering speed is controlled to be 25-30 m / min. During the lowering process, the depth and hanging weight are constantly monitored.
[0026] Step S4: Electric heating wax removal. If the hanging weight does not increase during the lowering process, it indicates that the wax has reached the resistance point. Turn on the heating power supply. After the wax is melted, if there is no resistance in the upper and lower movements, continue lowering and repeat this step.
[0027] Step S5: Lift the electric heating tool string. After the wax cleaning is completed, cut off the power supply and lift the cable at a lifting speed of 25-30 m / min. When it is 50 meters away from the wellhead K, slowly lift it and steadily lift the electric heating tool string into the oil pipe short section D at the bottom of the blowout preventer.
[0028] Step S6: Construction is completed, the upper gate of the wellhead K is closed, the nozzle 1 is depressurized, disassembled, the oil pollution is cleaned, and the site is evacuated.
[0029] The electric heating element of the electric heating rod 5 has a power of 3.0 kW, a cable diameter of 5.4 mm, and a designed lowering depth of 1000 m.
[0030] This downhole electric heating device for oilfield flowing wells can achieve fixed-point wax removal in empty wellbores, eliminating the need for running tubing to establish circulation. This portable device is suitable for high-pressure wells, with a maximum operating pressure of 30 MPa. It is simple to install and operate, and has promising application prospects. This device avoids the problems of existing wax removal technologies, such as the need for oil-casing circulation, the inability to withstand high pressures, and the long construction period. It is highly adaptable to shale oil flowing wells.
