Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a wellhead flow control device for an oil well in the petroleum industry, in particular to a flow control device which can replace an oil nozzle. Background Art
[0002] In the petroleum industry, oil production wells all use nozzles to control flow and thereby control production. When the nozzle is used in a self-flowing production well as a production control device in the production process or as a pressure relief and blowout control device for heavy oil steam injection wells to switch to cyclic self-flowing production, both the self-flowing production wells and the heavy oil steam injection production wells need to regularly replace the nozzles at the wellhead according to the wellhead pressure and temperature and changes. Generally, it is necessary to go through a process of gradually selecting 2mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm nozzles and then pulling out the nozzle for blowout, so as to select the appropriate nozzle and achieve a reasonable production pressure difference and working state, thereby ensuring long-term high and stable production of the self-flowing oil well or making the blowout process of the steam injection production well go smoothly.
[0003] Conventional nozzles installed in wellheads have a single aperture. When the nozzles in these wellheads are used for blowout in heavy oil steam injection wells, impurities and other substances in the well formation can easily clog the nozzle aperture, impacting the well's flowing production. Currently, the traditional method for selecting nozzles for flowing production wells and for heavy oil steam injection production wells requires the following steps: shutting down the well, depressurizing, removing the plug, cleaning, replacing the nozzle, installing the plug, and resuming the process. A single blowout cycle for a single oil well requires multiple nozzle changes. This frequent switching of the well causes fluctuations in the well's pressure differential, negatively impacting well production. Furthermore, the oil discharged during the pressure relief and nozzle selection process can easily pollute the environment and incur subsequent treatment costs, seriously impacting the clean production of the well.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the following patented technologies have appeared in the production site: Authorization announcement number CN219840617U discloses a nozzle for controlling oil well production, which relates to the field of nozzle technology and includes a convenient disassembly mechanism, wherein the inner surface wall of the convenient disassembly mechanism is fixedly inserted with a main body mechanism. In the above utility model, a lower die groove is provided on the top of the lower die sleeve, and an upper die groove is provided on the bottom of the upper die sleeve. The main body, spacer sleeve, nozzle and other equipment are respectively inserted into the corresponding places of the lower die groove according to different functions, and then the upper die sleeve is fixedly installed on the top of the lower die sleeve. In addition, because the outer surface wall of the lower die sleeve is fixedly installed with two fixing plates, and the tops of the two fixing plates are provided with multiple holes, and the outer surface wall of the upper die sleeve is fixedly installed with two extension plates, and the tops of the two extension plates are provided with multiple fixing holes, when the nozzle in the injector is blocked, the staff only needs to remove the multiple fixings to inspect and repair its internal equipment, thereby improving the work efficiency of the staff's inspection and maintenance.
[0005] The above utility model has a simple structure and is easy to disassemble, but it still requires multiple replacements of oil nozzles with different apertures.
[0006] Authorization announcement number CN213574033U discloses an interchangeable oil nozzle device, comprising a valve body and a rotor rotating in the valve body, the rotor being connected to a control device for controlling the rotation angle, an oil inlet, a first oil outlet, and a second oil outlet located on the same horizontal plane being provided in the valve body, the first oil outlet and the second oil outlet being respectively provided with a first oil nozzle and a second oil nozzle of different specifications, the rotor being provided with a first oil passage for connecting the oil inlet and the first oil outlet and a second oil passage for connecting the oil inlet and the second oil outlet, the first oil passage and the second oil passage not intersecting; in an initial state, the first oil passage is aligned with the oil inlet, and after rotating a specific angle, the second oil passage is aligned with the oil inlet. The interchangeable oil nozzle device of the utility model has a reasonable and compact structure, is easy to use, can effectively complete the interchange of oil nozzles, and realizes the adjustment of flow and pressure, greatly reduces the labor intensity compared to manual replacement of oil nozzles, and can realize the replacement of oil nozzles without stopping production, thereby improving the production efficiency of oil wells.
[0007] However, the above utility model can only replace two channels, which cannot meet the need of replacing the oil nozzle multiple times when the oil well is gushing out.
[0008] Authorization announcement number CN202202849U discloses a multi-aperture adjustable oil well blowout nozzle, which is suitable for newly-commissioned oil wells or steam injection wells. It can effectively improve the blowout efficiency of oil wells and facilitate production management. The above-mentioned blowout nozzle includes a nozzle and a nozzle sleeve. The nozzle is installed at one end of the operating rod and connected to the inner circle above the liquid outlet of the nozzle sleeve. A threaded plug is installed on the lower inner circle of the nozzle sleeve, and the aperture of the nozzle is changed by the operating rod. The above-mentioned device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. According to the needs of oil well blowout, the operating rod can be rotated under pressure to adjust and replace the required nozzle aperture to achieve the purpose of rapid blowout. It reduces a series of operating procedures for replacing the nozzle and shortens the blowout time. It can meet the nozzle aperture requirements of the entire blowout process, reduce the use of different nozzles, and save materials. The above-mentioned device is easy to install, safe to use, and reliable in operation. It greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers and improves work efficiency.
[0009] However, when the oil nozzle is replaced in the above utility model, the production gate still needs to be closed. The operation of repeatedly operating and rotating the operating lever in the utility model and closing the production gate will still have a negative impact on the production of the oil well.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the manual operating component 3 is a handwheel or handle. A screw indicator shield 4, marked with a valve stem travel distance scale, is also secured to the upper end surface of the shaft sleeve 8.
