Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil field and oil well repair, in particular to a negative pressure jet sand flushing and bailing device. Background Art

[0002] Sand production is unavoidable during oil and gas field development. Despite numerous sand control measures, sand production still persists to varying degrees in actual production. Sand production in oil wells can erode and damage pipelines and surface equipment, significantly complicating process implementation and maintenance. More importantly, sand production increases fluid flow resistance, impacting reservoir recovery and reducing well production. Therefore, sand removal is essential.

[0003] Hydraulic sand flushing and mechanical sand bailing are common methods for restoring and maintaining the production of sand-producing wells. Compared with mechanical sand bailing, hydraulic sand flushing has the advantages of relative stability, thorough bottomhole cleaning, strong continuity, and large sand flushing capacity. However, for sand flushing of leaking wells in low-pressure and leaky reservoirs, conventional hydraulic sand flushing technology is difficult to successfully apply. On the one hand, conventional hydraulic sand flushing is difficult to establish circulation in low-pressure leaking wells, and when the power fluid impacts the bottomhole sand bed, the bottomhole pressure is often greater than the formation pressure, causing a large amount of sand mixing fluid to leak into the oil-producing layer, contaminating the formation and easily reducing the oil well production. On the other hand, because the axis of the sand flushing operation string does not coincide with the axis of the wellbore, the sand mixing fluid flows in the eccentric annulus, which easily accumulates sand at the bottom of the well again, resulting in sand sticking.

[0004] Current sand bailing methods for low-pressure wells prone to leakage include the new GS negative-pressure sand bailing process, which features a fully integrated blowout preventer (BOP) in the annulus and a dedicated sand bailing check valve in the drill string. During the sand bailing process, the kelly is equipped with upper and lower cocks to maintain a slightly positive bottomhole pressure, slightly exceeding formation pressure, and manageable wellbore pressure fluctuations. The air distributor and downhole safety valve are integrated into one, providing full-wellbore kill capability. The sand bailing operation is closed and environmentally friendly. Using existing equipment, single-joint connection time can be reduced by more than half.

[0005] Although the above method is feasible, the negative pressure suction at the bottom of the well may be insufficient, and components such as special sand bailing check valves, special air distributors and downhole safety valves need to be manufactured separately, which is costly. Utility Model Content

[0032] The double-wall drill pipe 14, the sand bailing tube body 15, and the jet pump body 16 are connected by threads. The double-wall drill pipe annulus 22 is connected with the sand bailing tube annulus 25, the jet pump annulus 26, and the high-pressure chamber 32. The double-wall drill pipe inner tube 21 is connected with the sand bailing tube 23 and the diffuser 28.

[0033] The diffuser 28 and the jet nozzle 31 are of conical structure, the throat 29 is a cylindrical channel, and the suction port 27 is connected to the negative pressure chamber 30.

[0034] The sand bailing tube body 15 is provided with two swirl ports 24 , and the swirl ports 24 are centrally symmetrical with the axis of the sand bailing tube body 15 .

[0035] The sand-disturbing nozzle 34 is parallel to the axis of the jet pump body 16 . The sand-disturbing nozzle 34 is provided with two sand-disturbing swirl ports 33 . The sand-disturbing swirl ports 33 are centrally symmetrical with the axis.

[0036] The double-wall drill pipe 14, the sand bailing tube body 15, the jet pump body 16 and the sand disturbing joint 17 have the same outer diameter and are connected in sequence through threads.

[0037] The workover pump 1, a winch 2, a traveling block 4, a throttle valve 7, a separator 8, and a vibrating screen 9 are installed on the ground. The workover pump 1 is connected to the wellhead device 11. A turntable 6 is installed on the traveling block 4. The winch 2 and the traveling block 4 are connected by a wire rope 3. The throttle valve 7, the separator 8, and the vibrating screen 9 are connected by a return pipeline 5.

[0038] The sand bailing method in this utility model patent includes the following steps:

[0039] In actual use, first, the sand-disturbing joint 17, the jet pump body 16, the sand bailing tube body 15, the double-wall drill pipe 14, and the drill pipe 10 are connected in sequence and lowered into the well where sand bailing is required. The packer 13 is then lowered into the upper end of the double-wall drill pipe 14. The fluid is raised to high pressure by the workover pump 1 and enters the annulus between the drill pipe 10 and the casing 12 through the wellhead assembly 11. After flowing through the packer 13, the fluid enters the annulus 22 of the double-wall drill pipe and flows into the annulus 25 of the sand bailing tube, the annulus 26 of the jet pump, and the high-pressure chamber 32.

[0040] Secondly, the high-pressure fluid in the high-pressure chamber 32 flows in two directions, with most of the fluid flowing through the jet nozzle 31. When flowing through the jet nozzle 31, the fluid forms a high-speed jet due to the reduction of the flow cross-sectional area, and forms a local vacuum low-pressure area in the negative pressure chamber 30; while a small part of the fluid flows through the tangential sand-disturbing swirl port 33 and the sand-disturbing nozzle 34 to form a high-speed rotating jet, which impacts and disturbs the bottomhole sand bed 18. The bottomhole sand mixing fluid is sucked into the negative pressure suction port 27 of the jet pump body 16 under the action of vacuum suction force;

[0041] Finally, the sand mixing liquid and the high-speed fluid ejected from the jet nozzle 31 are initially mixed in the negative pressure chamber 30 and further mixed when flowing through the throat pipe 29 and diffuser 28. The mixed fluid flows through the diffuser 28 with a continuously expanding cross-sectional diameter, where its kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy and enters the swirl port 24 of the sand bailing tube body 15. The sand mixing liquid changes its flow direction from axial to tangential and rotates in the annular hole of the sand bailing tube 23. Under the action of centrifugal force and gravity, the sand particles settle into the sand bailing tube 23, and the fluid flows into the double-wall drill pipe inner tube 21 and the double-wall drill pipe 14 and returns to the surface. After returning to the surface, it is processed through the return pipeline 5, throttle valve 7, separator 8, and vibrating screen 9, completing the entire negative pressure jet sand bailing process.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model patent and is not intended to limit the present utility model patent. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model patent shall be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model patent.
