Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to an eccentric type gas and sand prevention submersible screw pump device and belongs to the technical field of oil extraction equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] The electric submersible screw pump oil extraction system directly drives the screw pump to lift liquid by using the downhole submersible motor, and the advantages of the rodless oil extraction system, downhole motor driving and screw pump are integrated. Compared with the rod pump, the energy saving can reach 30%-60%, and the pump depth can be broken through, and it can be applied to heavy oil wells, sand wells, gas wells, inclined wells and horizontal wells.

[0003] For coalbed methane wells, there is more downhole gas, and in the process of drainage and extraction, the gas-liquid mixture is lifted to the wellhead together. When passing through the screw pump, the dry grinding phenomenon occurs in the area where the gas exists without the lubrication of the well fluid. Long-term operation will accelerate the damage of the screw pump and affect the service life. Some wells have a large amount of sand, and the sand particles entering the pump or the sand accumulation in the pump will also accelerate the wear of the pump. In severe cases, the pump may be stuck, causing the unit to stop and affecting the yield.

[0004] The existing Chinese patent ZL 202223379551.2, entitled "Electric submersible screw pump device for preventing sand and gas", directly sleeves the annular screen pipe and the flow guide cover pipe on the screw pump and the oil pipe by adding the annular screen pipe and the flow guide cover pipe, to achieve the dual purposes of preventing sand through the annular screen pipe and supplying gas upward to escape to prevent gas, thereby protecting the screw pump and reducing the damage to the screw pump. The existing technology has the following problems: the power cable is attached to the outer wall of the flow guide cover pipe and is fixed by a cable clamp. Since the flow guide cover pipe increases the projected area of the unit, the power cable may be knocked during tripping, which increases the risk of the unit being stuck. In addition, the selection of the annular screen pipe is also important. The smallest sand particle (very fine sand) has a particle size of less than 0.15mm,

[0005] If small sand particles are to be prevented from entering the screw pump, an annular screen pipe with a smaller aperture needs to be selected, which will slow down the downward flow of well fluid and greatly reduce the efficiency of oil well operation. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0050] In use, the well fluid enters the annulus two 20 between the eccentric slotted screen 13 and the eccentric flow guide 3, the eccentric slotted screen 13 is covered with long holes, the aperture is 0.3mm, which can prevent sand with a diameter of 0.3mm or more from entering the unit; the well fluid enters the unit to realize gas-liquid separation, the gas with small density goes up, and the well fluid goes down along the annulus two until it enters the screw pump 2 cavity from the liquid inlet of the eccentric suction port 8; according to the different gas content of the well, the length of the eccentric flow guide is also different, so as to ensure that the gas-liquid separation can be carried out fully; the lower end of the universal shaft assembly 1 is connected with the motor and the protector, which provides power for the operation of the unit; after the unit is operated, the motor drives the screw pump 2 to rotate and lift the well fluid upward; after the well fluid comes out of the screw pump 2, it continues to go upward through the sand settling pipe 6, the top of the sand settling pipe 6 has openings 17 around, and the well fluid continues to go upward along the openings at the top of the sand settling pipe, due to the action of gravity, the sand in the well fluid falls into the annulus one 19 between the sand settling pipe 6 and the oil pipe 7, and deposits at the bottom, avoiding the sand adhering and accumulating on the inner wall of the oil pipe when the well fluid is lifted upward, which can effectively reduce the running resistance and ensure the drainage efficiency.

[0053] This invention, through optimization and improvement, employs an eccentric slotted screen and an eccentric flow guide. After the submersible screw pump operates, the negative pressure effect causes the well fluid to rise to the position of the eccentric slotted screen, then enters the area between the eccentric slotted screen and the thickened tubing (annular space 2), before flowing downwards. During this process, larger impurities in the well fluid are blocked by the eccentric slotted screen and do not enter the area between the screw pump and the eccentric slotted screen. For well fluid containing gas, the presence of the eccentric flow guide effectively extends the distance from the well fluid to the eccentric suction inlet at the lower end of the screw pump during downward movement. A dissipation channel for the gas in the well fluid is also formed between the eccentric flow guide and the tubing, allowing the lighter gas to gradually rise and dissipate. Well fluid enters the screw pump through the eccentric suction inlet, then flows through the reducing joint into the settling pipe. The fluid then enters the thickened tubing through the conical cap of the settling pipe. A temporary cavity (annular space 1) is formed between the settling pipe and the tubing to store impurities from the falling well fluid. The conical cap prevents impurities such as coal dust and gravel from entering the screw pump cavity after shutdown, thus preventing pump jamming. This significantly reduces the possibility of the fluid entering the eccentric suction inlet. The settling pipe's temporary storage of well fluid impurities provides further protection. In this way, sand and gas are effectively removed, minimizing potential damage to the screw pump and ensuring high well operating efficiency. This solves the technical problem in existing technologies where sand and gas entering the screw pump with the well fluid causes pump damage and reduced well operating efficiency.

[0054] This utility model is designed eccentrically, with a rectangular groove recessed inward at both the eccentric flow guide shroud 3 and the eccentric slotted screen 13 to hold a small flat cable (power cable). The small flat cable is covered with a protective cover, which reduces the projected area of ​​the unit, ensuring smooth tripping in and out of the well, and preventing damage to the power cable from impacts and scratches. Furthermore, a sand settling pipe is added to deposit sand from the well fluid into the annulus between the tubing and the sand settling pipe, effectively reducing pump jamming and extending the unit's service life.

[0055] This invention optimizes and improves existing gas and sand prevention devices through the rectangular grooves of the eccentric guide shroud 3 and the eccentric slotted screen 13, thereby reducing the projected area and protecting the power cable. Simultaneously, it enables gas-liquid separation, blocks large-diameter gravel from entering the unit, and allows gravel entering the unit to accumulate at designated locations, protecting the screw pump and reducing damage to it, thus ensuring oil well operation efficiency.
