AI Technical Summary
The seals of existing tubing heads and tubing hangers are prone to failure, especially when oil and gas enter the sealing annulus at the bottom of the well, posing a risk of seal failure.
It adopts a double-layer sealing structure, including an outer sealing sleeve and an inner sealing sleeve. The outer sealing sleeve has three annular grooves and stepped holes. The inner sealing sleeve is fitted with a sealing ring through a gap. The inner and outer sealing sleeves are connected by a conical annular surface and filled with sealing filler. Both the outer and inner sealing sleeves are made of carbon steel. The inner sealing sleeve is heat-treated to enhance the sealing effect.
It improves sealing performance, prevents downhole oil and gas from seeping into the upper sealing surface, and enhances the reliability and durability of the seal.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to oilfield wellhead equipment technical field especially relates to a tubing head with good sealing performance. BACKGROUND
[0002] The tubing hanger is a device for supporting the tubing string and sealing the annular space between the tubing and the casing. The tubing hanger sealing method is to use the gravity of the tubing to seat the tubing hanger and the tubing into the ell cone of the tubing hanger to seal, which is convenient to operate, fast and safe in wellhead replacement. Therefore, it is a commonly used method for medium-deep wells and conventional wells. The existing tubing head sealing adopts a metal hard sealing method, which is prone to sealing failure when the oil and gas at the bottom of the well enter the sealing ring surface. SUMMARY
[0003] In order to solve the problem of easy failure of the tubing head and the tubing hanger sealing, the utility model provides a tubing head with good sealing performance.
[0004] The utility model discloses a tubing head with good sealing performance, which comprises a tubing hanger and a tubing head ell, the tubing hanger and the tubing head ell are connected through a sealing mechanism, the sealing mechanism comprises an outer sealing sleeve and an inner sealing sleeve, the tubing head ell is provided with a load-bearing boss, the outer sealing sleeve is seated on the load-bearing boss of the tubing head ell, the outer sealing sleeve is gap matched with the tubing head ell through a sealing ring, the tubing hanger is provided with a load-bearing sleeve, the inner sealing sleeve is sleeved on the lower part of the load-bearing sleeve of the tubing hanger, the inner sealing sleeve is gap matched with the tubing hanger through a sealing ring, and the inner sealing sleeve and the outer sealing sleeve are connected through a conical ring surface.
[0005] The conical hole of the outer sealing sleeve is provided with three annular grooves arranged in an upper and lower direction.
[0006] The outer sealing sleeve is provided with a straight hole section at the lower part, the outer sealing sleeve is provided with a stepped hole at the lower part of the straight hole section, the stepped hole is gap matched with the tubing hanger, and the annular space formed by the straight hole section of the outer sealing sleeve, the tubing hanger and the inner sealing sleeve is filled with sealing filler.
[0007] The outer sealing sleeve and the inner sealing sleeve are both made of carbon steel, and the inner sealing sleeve is subjected to quenching and tempering treatment.
[0008] The utility model has the advantages that the utility model still adopts the metal sealing form with high sealing pressure, the oil and gas at the bottom of the well seep into the annular groove at the lower part of the outer sealing sleeve, do not pollute the upper conical sealing surface, three annular grooves are arranged to accommodate the seeped oil and gas, the sealing effect is improved, the sealing filler is arranged at the lower part of the conical sealing surface, the oil and gas at the bottom of the well are further blocked from entering the conical sealing surface, and the overall sealing performance is improved.
