Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drainage and gas production devices, in particular to a drainage and gas production device formed by combining a cable laying pipe and an electric submersible pump. Background Art

[0002] Normal-pressure shale gas wells have a low initial formation pressure coefficient. While some wells can achieve self-flow after fracturing and energy enhancement, a few still fail to do so, requiring forced drainage to test production and ensure stable subsequent production. Conventional electric submersible pumps (ESPs) require well killing for drainage. Initially, rodless production technology, using wax-resistant tubing with externally tied cables and submersible pumps, was used. However, numerous pump inspections have been required due to scaling and wax deposition. To address these issues, a drainage and gas recovery system combining cable-laid tubing and ESPs has been developed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a drainage and gas production device formed by combining a cable laying pipe and an electric submersible pump, which can effectively solve the problems of corrosion and scaling of traditional continuous oil pipes and cable knocking and falling into the well, thereby further improving operating efficiency.

[0004] The utility model is achieved in this way:

[0005] The utility model provides a drainage and gas production device formed by a combination of a cable pipe and an electric submersible pump, which is characterized by comprising a casing, a cable pipe, a metal joint, a mechanical anchor, a connector and an electric submersible pump which are arranged in sequence inside the casing, and the upper end of the cable pipe passes through the wellhead device, the blowout preventer and the injector in sequence from bottom to top and is then configured with a power reeling frame.

[0006] In some optional embodiments, the metal joint includes an inner tube and an outer tube that are sequentially sleeved inside and outside, and a joint end portion arranged at one end of the inner tube and the outer tube. A central through hole is provided inside the inner tube and the joint. A gap is provided between the inner tube and the outer tube for facilitating the installation of cables through the cable laying pipe. A plurality of cable holes are provided on the joint end portion for facilitating the passage of cables. One end of the metal joint away from the joint end portion is fixedly connected to the cable laying pipe, and the other end is fixedly connected to the mechanical anchor.

[0007] In some optional embodiments, the outer wall of the inner tube and the inner wall of the outer tube at the end of the metal joint away from the joint end are both provided with a clamping portion for clamping with the cabling pipe.

[0008] In some optional embodiments, the engaging portion is engaging teeth.

[0009] In some optional embodiments, the cable laying pipe includes an inner liner, a structural layer, and an outer protective layer which are sequentially sleeved from the inside to the outside, and a cable is arranged in the inner liner.

[0010] In some optional embodiments, a heating layer for heating cables is embedded between the structural layer and the inner liner, and the cables are located in the heating layer.

[0011] In some optional embodiments, cable threading grooves are provided on the peripheries of the mechanical anchor and the connector to facilitate threading of the cables.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the cable pipe in the present invention is an ICCP pipe. The cable pipe 5 comprises an inner liner 505, a structural layer 502, and an outer protective layer 501, which are sequentially connected from the inside out. A cable 503 is located within the inner liner. A heating cable can also be built into the cable pipe to achieve heat-tracing mining, effectively alleviate wax buildup, and extend pump inspection cycles. Specifically, a heating layer 504 for heating the cable is embedded within the structural layer 502, and the cable 503 is located within the heating layer. The inner liner 505 can be made of materials such as PE, PA, PVDF, PPS, and PEEK. The inner liner is embedded with power cables, heating conductors, optical fibers, or signal lines.

The outer protective layer 501 is made of materials such as PE, PA, PVDF, PPS, and PEEK, providing protection during transportation, operation, and production. The inner liner 505 and the outer protective layer 501 can be made of high-temperature resistant polyethylene, which is suitable for most well conditions.

[0030] The cable laying pipe of the present invention is connected to both the uphole and downhole tools using metal joints, wherein the metal joints have the same structure. The metal joint 10 is mainly composed of three parts: an outer tube 1002, an inner tube 1003, and a joint end 1001. The metal joint 10 and the cable laying pipe adopt the buckling principle to connect the cable laying pipe with the uphole and downhole tools, and to lead out the metal joint of the cable. The metal joint is processed as a whole using an integrated welding molding process. The built-in cable of the cable laying pipe 5 and the lead-out cable are connected in the metal joint cavity, and the remaining space is sealed with filler, which effectively isolates oil, gas and water, meeting the waterproof and insulation requirements.

[0031] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the metal joint includes an inner tube 1003 and an outer tube 1002 that are sequentially sleeved together, and a joint end 1001 disposed at one end of the inner and outer tubes.

The joint end is provided with multiple cable holes for facilitating the passage of cables. One end of the metal joint, away from the joint end, is fixedly connected to the cabling pipe, and the other end is fixedly connected to a mechanical anchor. Specifically, the outer wall of the inner tube and the inner wall of the outer tube at the end of the metal joint, away from the joint end, are provided with a clamping portion 1004 for clamping with the cabling pipe. Preferably, the clamping portion 1004 is a clamping tooth.
