Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil production engineering, in particular to a multifunctional sampling device for a pumping well. Background Art

[0002] Sampling from machine-drilled wells is one of the key operations for determining the water content of crude oil and calculating production indicators. To ensure the accuracy of sampling, the traditional sampling process requires stopping water addition for 5 to 10 minutes before sampling and draining the "dead oil" in the sampling valve. This operation method is not only time-consuming, but also easily causes environmental pollution during the process of discharging the "dead oil".

[0003] In the traditional method, the operator first needs to close the water injection valve, wait 5 to 10 minutes to ensure that the water injection has completely stopped, and then open the sampling valve to discharge the "dead oil" in it. This "dead oil" is usually crude oil that has been standing for a period of time and may contain high moisture and other impurities. Discharging this "dead oil" not only wastes precious resources, but may also pollute the environment. Especially if the operation is improper, this waste oil may leak into the soil and water sources, causing long-term ecological damage.

[0004] Inaccurate sampling results can occur due to problems with the water injection valve sealing or improper sampling by operators. This not only affects the judgment of the water content of the crude oil and the calculation of production indicators, but may also lead to more serious problems, such as frozen wells. Frozen wells refer to the situation in which, in a low-temperature environment, water enters the wellbore due to a loose seal of the water injection valve and freezes, causing blockage of the wellbore, seriously affecting the normal production of the oil field.

[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model provides a multifunctional sampling device for a pumping well, comprising: a device housing 1;

[0031] The device housing 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure. A sampling valve 8 is provided inside the device housing 1. A clamp connector is provided at the left end of the device housing 1 for connecting to the production valve of the Christmas tree of the pumping well. A discharge channel is provided on the right outer wall of the device housing 1 that is connected to the interior of the device housing 1. The left end of the device housing 1 is connected to the production valve of the Christmas tree of the pumping well through a clamp connector, and the right side is connected to the oil return process of the Christmas tree by welding, ensuring that the device can smoothly transport well fluid from the Christmas tree to the oil return process during operation. The sampling valve 8 is vertically embedded in the device housing 1, and the sampling valve 8 is fixedly connected to the device housing 1.

[0032] The sampling valve 8 is the core component of the device, including a sampling valve housing 5 and a sampling valve stem 7. The sampling valve housing 5 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and its lower outer wall is provided with two mutually perpendicular through holes. These two through holes are sampling holes. In order to prevent the sampling holes from freezing in a low temperature environment and facilitate the sampling liquid to flow out from the lower end of the sampling valve 8, the inner wall of the lower end of the through hole is designed to be a cone.

[0033] The sampling valve stem 7 is arranged inside the sampling valve housing 5 and is connected to the sampling valve housing 5 through threads. The outer wall of the lower end of the sampling valve stem 7 is provided with multiple sealing rings 6 to ensure the sealing performance of the sampling valve 8. The center of the sampling valve stem 7 is a cylindrical structure with threads on its outer wall. The upper end is a rectangular structure, which is convenient for operation with a wrench, and the lower end is designed as a conical structure. The taper of the conical structure matches the conical surface of the inner wall of the lower end of the sampling hole, thereby achieving precise control of the sampling hole.

[0034] In actual operation, the sampling valve stem 7 can be moved up and down by rotating the rectangular structure at the upper end of the sampling valve stem 7 with a wrench. When the sampling valve stem 7 moves upward, the sampling hole is opened, and the well fluid can flow out from the lower end of the sampling valve housing 5 to complete the sampling operation. Conversely, when the sampling valve stem 7 moves downward, the sampling hole is closed to prevent well fluid leakage.

[0035] Since the sampling valve 8 is vertically embedded in the device housing 1, the sampling hole is always in contact with the well fluid flowing through the device housing 1, thereby effectively avoiding the sampling hole from being blocked and frozen during sampling. This design not only improves the reliability of sampling, but also greatly simplifies the operation process and reduces maintenance costs.

[0036] In order to further enhance the functionality and reliability of the multifunctional sampling device for oil pumping wells, a partition 3 is provided in the device housing 1. The partition 3 is located on the right side of the sampling valve 8 and is an annular step provided on the inner wall of the device housing 1. A circular liquid passage is provided in the center of the partition 3, which not only helps to separate the internal space of the device, but also ensures the orderly flow of well fluid in the device.

[0037] The right end face of the partition 3 is provided with two symmetrical rotating shafts 4, which are connected to the valve cover 2. The valve cover 2 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 4 through a rotating connecting arm. The rotating shaft 4 adopts a rectangular structure with a circular through hole in the center. It is made integral with the partition 3. The valve cover 2 itself is a cylindrical structure, and its outer diameter matches the inner diameter of the liquid passage in the center of the partition 3, which means that the valve cover 2 can completely close the liquid passage and prevent liquid from passing through this path.

[0038] A rotating connecting arm is provided on one side of the valve cover 2. The rotating connecting arm consists of two parts. The end is a rectangular structure, which is made as a whole with the valve cover 2. Two connecting columns are symmetrically provided on the upper end. These connecting columns are respectively embedded in the rotating shaft 4, so that the valve cover 2 can rotate freely within a certain range and open or close the liquid passage as needed.

[0039] In actual operation, when sampling is carried out, if the water injection valve in the process is not tight, part of the water injection will flow from right to left along the inner wall of the device shell 1 during the sampling process. At this time, after the sampling hole of the sampling valve 8 is opened, the valve cover 2 will automatically close under the action of the pressure difference, acting as a one-way valve. This can effectively prevent the water injection from flowing out of the sampling hole along with the well fluid, ensuring the accuracy of the sampling data. After the sampling is completed, the sampling valve 8 is closed, and the valve cover 2 is reopened under the push of the bottom hole pressure to resume the normal production process. This design not only improves the reliability and accuracy of the sampling device, but also greatly reduces the data error caused by water injection, thereby improving the overall work efficiency.

[0040] The following is a detailed introduction to the actual working scenario of a multifunctional sampling device for oil pumping wells.

[0041] In actual operation, the multifunctional sampling device for oil pumping wells includes the following steps:

[0042] Work preparation stage:

[0043] Step S1: Connect the left end of the device housing 1 to the production valve of the Christmas tree of the pumping well via a clamp connector. The right end of the device housing 1 is welded to the oil return line of the Christmas tree to ensure that the device can smoothly transport well fluid from the Christmas tree to the oil return line during operation.

[0044] Step S12, confirm whether the sealing ring 6 of the sampling valve 8 is intact to ensure the sealing performance of the sampling valve 8, check whether the rotating connecting arm of the valve cover 2 is flexible to ensure that the valve cover 2 can rotate freely as needed.

[0045] Sampling operation stage:

[0046] Step S2: Use a wrench to rotate the rectangular structure at the upper end of the sampling valve stem 7 to move the sampling valve stem 7 upward. When the conical structure of the sampling valve stem 7 is separated from the sampling hole, the sampling hole is opened and the well fluid begins to flow out from the lower end of the sampling valve housing 5.

[0047] During the sampling process, if the water injection valve in the process is not tight, some of the water injection may flow from right to left along the inner wall of the device housing 1. The valve cover 2 will automatically close under the action of the pressure difference, acting as a one-way valve to prevent the water injection from flowing out of the sampling hole along with the well fluid, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the sampling data.

[0048] Step S22, when sampling is completed, the sampling valve stem 7 is rotated in the opposite direction to move it downward, and the conical structure re-closes the sampling hole to prevent well fluid leakage. The valve cover 2 is reopened under the push of the bottom hole pressure, and the normal production process is restored.
