Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil wellhead technology, and more specifically, to a heating device for oil wellheads. Background Technology
[0002] A Christmas tree is a wellhead device used to extract oil in flowing wells and mechanically operated wells. It is the main equipment at the top of an oil and gas well for controlling and regulating oil and gas production. The Christmas tree consists of valves, reducers, nozzles, and piping fittings, and is used to control production and provide conditions for well workover operations such as wireline, cable, and coiled tubing. As the weather gets colder, the temperature of the Christmas tree and pipelines drops, causing the crude oil inside to cool down as well. The crude oil freezes before reaching the metering station, thus requiring heating of the Christmas tree.
[0003] A search revealed that utility model patent CN204920907U discloses a heating device for a wellhead, including a wellhead with a three-way or four-way valve, a water recovery tank, a heater, a water pump, and an insulation box. The insulation box is installed on the wellhead and connected to the water recovery tank. The water recovery tank is connected to the heater via the water pump, and the heater is connected to the insulation box. Under the action of the water pump, the medium water circulates between the insulation box, the water recovery tank, and the heater, heating the wellhead and preventing ice blockage, thus improving the working efficiency of the oilfield.
[0004] However, the aforementioned patent has the following shortcomings: the oil flows at a certain speed in the main pipeline of the wellhead, and when the insulation box is installed inside the main pipeline, the rate of heat exchange between the oil and the insulation box is not easily guaranteed, affecting the heating effect; in addition, the lack of insulation for other pipelines in the wellhead can also easily cause the oil temperature to drop. Therefore, we propose a heating device for the wellhead. Utility Model Content
