TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of with pressure operation gas lift drainage, especially relates to a full gauge with pressure glass joint. BACKGROUND
[0002] China's natural gas resources are abundant, however its gas reservoir has unique geological characteristics, and most of them belong to closed elastic water drive gas reservoir. This type of gas reservoir has certain sealing property in formation structure, and its driving energy mainly comes from elastic water drive. In the development process of gas reservoir, a common phenomenon is that different gas reservoirs will produce formation water to different degrees. The existence of formation water is an important factor that cannot be ignored in the development process of gas reservoir.
[0003] The production of formation water brings many negative effects to gas field development. When formation water enters the gas well, it will interfere with the flow of gas. It occupies a certain space in the wellbore, increases the resistance of gas flow, and makes it difficult to produce gas. This leads to the gas field entering the decline stage prematurely when the recovery degree is still low. The so-called low recovery degree means that the actual amount of natural gas produced by the gas field accounts for a relatively low proportion of the total reserves. More seriously, the influx of a large amount of formation water may cause water flooding of the gas well, resulting in abnormal production of the gas well, and eventually having to shut down. The shutdown of the water-flooded gas well will not only cause short-term production loss, but also have a significant impact on the ultimate recovery of the gas field. The ultimate recovery is a key indicator to measure the development effect of the gas field, which reflects the proportion of the amount of natural gas that can be produced in the entire development cycle to the total reserves. Therefore, how to effectively drain water and improve the recovery of watered gas reservoir has become one of the important issues that the oil and gas industry has been committed to research and solve for a long time.
[0004] In order to solve the problem of watered gas reservoir drainage, many drainage and gas recovery technologies have been developed and applied at home and abroad. The commonly used technologies mainly include optimized string drainage and gas recovery, foam drainage and gas recovery, plunger gas lift drainage and gas recovery, and gas lift drainage and gas recovery. The optimized string drainage and gas recovery technology is to optimize the size and material of the gas well string to improve the flow conditions of gas and liquid, so as to achieve the purpose of drainage and gas recovery. Foam drainage and gas recovery is to inject foam agent into the gas well, and the foam agent and formation water form foam after mixing, which reduces the surface tension of the liquid and makes it easier for the liquid to be carried out of the wellbore by the gas. The plunger gas lift drainage and gas recovery is to use the up and down movement of the plunger in the wellbore to lift the formation water to the ground. The gas lift drainage and gas recovery is to inject high-pressure gas into the gas well to drain the formation water out of the wellbore. These technologies have their own characteristics and application scope, and their selection mainly depends on the geological characteristics of the gas reservoir, such as formation pressure, permeability, etc.; the production state of the watered gas well, including the gas well yield, pressure change, etc.; and the economic investment, such as equipment cost, operation cost, etc.
[0005] However, the existing drainage gas recovery process also has some problems in practical application. Taking the existing gas lift drainage string as an example, during the under-pressure construction process, when the break disc connected opens, the string cannot realize full bore. Full bore refers to the internal passage of the string having a consistent diameter, which can ensure smooth flow of fluid. Due to the inability to realize full bore, the flow resistance inside the string increases, affecting the normal flow of gas and liquid. In order to ensure the normal production yield of the gas production well, subsequent measures are often taken. However, due to the limitation of the string bore, other measures such as plunger gas lift cannot be taken, which limits the flexibility and effectiveness of the drainage gas recovery process and brings certain difficulties to the development of the gas field.
