Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of adjustable downhole fixed wax preventers, and in particular to an adjustable downhole fixed wax preventer. Background Technology
[0002] During the extraction of oil and natural gas, due to changes in the underground environment, especially changes in temperature and pressure, oil and gas flow is often accompanied by the deposition of wax, a phenomenon known as "wax blockage". This wax blockage can lead to a decrease in pipeline flow or even complete blockage of the pipeline, seriously affecting production efficiency and increasing production costs.
[0003] An adjustable downhole fixed wax preventer is a device used in oil wells. Its main purpose is to prevent wax deposition in the wellbore, thereby reducing the frequency of wax blockage and wax removal, and improving the production efficiency of the oil well. The background technology of this device involves the wax deposition problem in oil well production, and various wax prevention technologies developed to solve this problem.
[0004] When using current downhole fixed wax inhibitors, excessively long wax inhibitors may cause unnecessary resistance in shallow oil wells, affecting the smoothness of oil flow, while excessively short wax inhibitors may not be able to completely cover the wax-forming area in deeper oil wells, thus affecting the wax-prevention effect.
