Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the oil and gas field development under pressure pump operation supporting tool field, specifically relates to a adjustable pump bottom pressure control device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the oil and gas field development field, especially new well self-suction turns to pumping, in order to further stabilize production and protect the reservoir, preferentially implement under pressure operation, and need to ensure that the tubing pressure is controllable in the process of under pressure pump operation, but the existing oil pump has not realized the pump switch, or the switch device is not mature, in order to avoid the emergence of complex situation, the main technology at present is to install pressure control device under the pump to implement temporary plugging of the oil pump, and to design position to cut off shear pin, and the built-in valve rod falls into the tail pipe, and then realizes the smooth flow in the pipe, and successfully turns to pumping.

[0003] The existing under pressure pump operation supporting tool mainly has two kinds, one is to install pump bottom valve with switch function under the pump, which is usually matched with the structure design of oil pump, and the liquid inlet channel is opened when normal production is realized, and the repeated switch is realized through spring, transposition and track mechanism, and the switch performance cannot be guaranteed after a certain period of production in the application process, and there is the possibility of well blowout overflow in the secondary under pressure operation process. The other is to install pump bottom valve with pressure control function under the pump, only need to lift the fixed valve before under pressure pump, leave a certain channel, and after under pump is completed, the pressure control device is cut off and falls into the tail pipe to realize normal production, and the tool can only realize single switch, and cannot realize repeated switch.

[0004] In the downhole operation site, considering the complexity and uncertainty of downhole environment, the simpler the downhole tool structure is, the more reliable it is. For the second under pressure pump operation supporting tool, the valve rod cannot be adjusted in the application process, the two sealing rings affect the device falling into the tail pipe, the sealing material cannot be applied to high gas-liquid ratio and gas well requirements, and the valve rod and the contact area with the valve body do not take anticorrosion measures.

[0005] The main technology at present is a utility model patent with the disclosure number CN208380549U: a pressure control pump bottom valve and a pressure control device, which has the following problems in the application process: 1. A certain length of valve rod needs to be reserved during installation, and the excess part is sawn off after installation, different pump barrel structures need to be sawn off to different lengths, the valve rod cannot be adjusted in real time, the efficiency is low, and the error is large; 2. Two sealing rings are arranged at the lower part of the valve rod, and when the pressure is blocked and the shear pin is broken, due to the two sealing rings, the pressure is too high when the pressure is blocked, and the shear pin is normally broken, but does not fall into the tail pipe, thereby causing the problem that the oil pump production is normal but the liquid is not smooth, and the yield is not high; 3. The sealing ring material is selected to be ordinary nitrile rubber, which cannot meet the sealing requirements of high gas-liquid ratio oil wells and gas wells, resulting in sealing failure during operation, increased pressure in the pipe, and remediation by using well killing, which causes pollution to the reservoir; 4. No corrosion protection measures are taken for the contact area between the valve rod and the valve body, and there are toxic and corrosive substances such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the operation environment, and long operation time will increase the risk of surface corrosion and leakage.

[0006] In order to meet the operation of the pump under pressure, the commonly used technology is that the matched pump bottom switch tool mainly includes a hydraulic pipe pump bottom valve, a touch type pipe pump bottom valve and a rod pump bottom valve, which mainly realizes the switching function by using the principles of spring, valve and rail switching, and the structure is relatively complex. When operating under pressure, the oil inlet channel is opened, but it is limited by the performance of the spring and the downhole environment, and often cannot be closed or cannot be closed tightly after working for a period of time under pressure, causing the risk of well blowout overflow.
