Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil production technology, in particular to an oil well sand prevention bridge body adapted to an intelligent production distributor. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of industry and the continued growth in oil demand, stratified oil production technology has been widely adopted in the oil production sector. This technology enables stratified testing and regulation of multi-layer reservoirs, effectively resolving the difficulty in accurately obtaining production data for each layer in conventional oil production processes. The production controller controls stratified testing and regulation of multi-layer reservoirs, achieving pressure balance, monitoring flow and pressure data, and flexibly responding to varying production needs to ensure safe production. The production controller, when used in conjunction with the bridge, enables more accurate acquisition of production data for each layer and effective regulation, which is crucial for improving oil production efficiency.

[0003] However, the following problems still exist during the use of bridge bodies: First, existing bridge bodies often use a single flow channel structure, resulting in mixed flow of the bottom layer fluid and the current layer fluid, making effective diversion and transportation impossible, and failing to meet the requirements of stratified oil production for independent fluid transportation. Second, for traditional tools adapted for intelligent production distributors, their sand control mainly relies on a simple screen structure for filtration. The filter layer lacks effective protection, is easily damaged in complex well conditions, and has poor sand control effectiveness. Once the filter layer is damaged, a large amount of sand particles will enter the production distributor along with the fluid, causing damage to the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the above-mentioned defects in the existing technology, an oil well sand prevention bridge adapted to an intelligent production distributor is provided, which can divert the bottom fluid and the intra-layer fluid and effectively prevent sand particles from entering.

[0006] The cam is connected to the bottom of the cam by a threaded hole, and the threaded hole is connected to the bottom of the cam by a threaded hole, so that the cam can pass smoothly.

[0007] According to the above technical solution, the sand prevention and filtering mechanism is arranged at the inlet of the second annular channel through a protective seat, and the protective seat is fixedly and sealedly connected to the connecting piece.

[0008] According to the above technical solution, the sand-proof filtering mechanism includes a filtering layer and a protective structure, and the protective structure is arranged outside the filtering layer.

[0009] According to the above technical solution, the protective structure is a protective steel net provided with a plurality of small holes.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, there are multiple eccentric holes and side holes, which are evenly distributed on the bridge seat.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, a movable sealing ball is provided in the ball seat tube, and the diameter of the sealing ball is larger than the diameter of the first cavity.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, the fixed sealing connection between the upper joint, the bridge seat, the lower joint, the ball seat tube, the connecting piece and the protective seat is a threaded connection.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, at least one sealing ring is provided at the threaded connection.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Two independent first fluid channels and second fluid channels are designed inside the oil well sand control bridge, which can transport upper layer fluid and lower layer fluid respectively, realize the diversion of fluids in different layers, and can obtain oil production data of each layer more accurately, facilitate precise monitoring and independent regulation of different layers, and improve the efficiency of oil well oil extraction.

[0016] 2. A sand-proof filtering mechanism is provided at the inlet of the second annular channel, which adopts double protection of filter layer and protective steel mesh. Among them, the external protective steel mesh serves as the first line of defense, which can effectively intercept sand particles with larger particle sizes, while also protecting the internal filter layer and extending the service life of the filter layer; the internal filter layer serves as the second line of defense, which can further filter out fine sand particles, ensure the purity of the fluid, and effectively prevent sand particles from wearing and clogging the equipment.

[0027] In this embodiment, the upper and lower joints 1 and 3 are connected to the upper and lower oil pipes, respectively. A second central channel 31 is defined within the lower joint 3, allowing lower fluid to flow directly through the lower oil pipe into the first central channel 41. The lower joint 3 utilizes a variable diameter design, with a smaller diameter at the top, to facilitate the formation of a second annular channel 32 between it and the connector 5.

[0028] In this embodiment, the bridge seat 2 is arranged between the upper joint 1 and the lower joint 3. The bridge seat 2 and the upper joint 1 are fixedly connected by threads. At least one sealing ring 9 is provided on the facing circumferential surfaces of the bridge seat 2 and the upper joint 1 to increase the sealing of the connection and prevent fluid leakage. The bridge seat 2 is provided with a first cavity 21, a second cavity 22, a plurality of eccentric holes 23 and a plurality of side holes 24. The first cavity 21 is located at the upper end of the bridge seat 2, and its inner wall is fixedly connected to the ball seat tube 4 by a thread, and at least one sealing ring 9 is provided on the facing circumference of the inner wall of the first cavity 21 and the ball seat tube 4; the second cavity 22 is located at the lower end of the bridge seat 2, and its inner wall is fixedly connected to the lower joint 3 by a thread, and at least one sealing ring 9 is provided on the facing circumference of the inner wall of the second cavity 22 and the lower joint 3; a plurality of eccentric holes 23 and a plurality of side holes 24 are evenly distributed on the bridge seat 2; the first cavity 21 and the second cavity 22 are not connected, a plurality of the eccentric holes 23 pass through the bridge seat 2, and a plurality of the side holes 24 are connected with the first cavity 21.

[0029] In this embodiment, the lower end of the ball seat tube 4 is fixedly connected to the first cavity 21 on the bridge seat 2 through a thread. The ball seat tube 4 is located inside the upper joint 1, and there is a gap between it and the upper joint 1, forming a first annular channel 11. The first annular channel 11 is connected to the eccentric hole 23 on the bridge seat 2; a first center channel 41 is provided inside the ball seat tube 4, and the first center channel 41 is connected to the first cavity 21 on the bridge seat 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, a movable sealing ball 42 is provided inside the ball seat tube 4. The diameter of the sealing ball 42 is larger than the diameter of the first cavity 21 on the bridge seat 2, and can block the first cavity 21 to prevent fluid backflow.

[0031] In this embodiment, the upper end of the connecting member 5 is fixedly connected to the bridge seat 2 by a thread, and at least one sealing ring 9 is provided on the facing circumferential surfaces of the connecting member 5 and the bridge seat 2; the lower end of the connecting member 5 is sleeved on the outside of the lower joint 3, and there is a gap between the connecting member 5 and the lower joint 3, forming a second annular channel 32, which is connected to the outside of the device and can allow the upper layer fluid outside the device to penetrate, and the other end is connected to the side hole 24 on the bridge seat 2.
