[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.
[0018] This utility model discloses a wellhead gas collection and sealing device for seismic fluid observation wells. The device mainly includes a lower connecting flange 1, an annular sealing block 2, an upper connecting flange 3, a sealing ring 4, a plugging block 5, a sealing rubber ring 6, a connecting pipe 7, an outlet pipe 8, a sealing plug 9, a sealing ring 10, and a cable 11. The lower connecting flange 1 has a threaded hole 13, through which a fastening bolt passes to install the lower connecting flange 1 onto the well wall of the observation well 12. The annular sealing block 2 is installed between the lower connecting flange 1 and the outer well wall of the observation well 12, fitting tightly against both. The lower connecting flange 1 is provided with a lower clamping bolt 14 for abutting the annular sealing block 2. The upper connecting flange 3 is installed on the top of the lower connecting flange 1 by a fastening bolt. Installation points are provided on both the lower connecting flange 1 and the upper connecting flange 3. The mounting groove 31 is used to install the sealing ring 4. The sealing block 5 is installed on the upper connecting flange 3 and located at the top of the wellhead of the observation well 12. Sealing rings 6 are installed at the connection between the upper connecting flange 3 and the sealing block 5, and at the connection between the inner wall of the observation well 12 and the sealing block 5. The upper connecting flange 3 is provided with an upper tightening bolt 32 for abutting the sealing ring 6 at the connection between the sealing block 5 and the upper connecting flange 3. The connecting pipe 7 and the air outlet pipe 8 are installed at the top of the sealing block 5 and are connected to the observation well 12. The sealing plug 9 is installed on the connecting pipe 7 and the air outlet pipe 8. Sealing rings 10 are installed at the connection between the connecting pipe 7 and the sealing plug 9, and at the connection between the air outlet pipe 8 and the sealing plug 9. The sealing plug 9 on the connecting pipe 7 has a round hole 91. The cable 11 extends through the round hole 91 into the interior of the observation well 12. The connection between the cable 11 and the round hole 91 is coated with sealant.
[0019] The lower connecting flange 1 is fixed to the well wall of the observation well 12 using fastening bolts and threaded holes 13, ensuring that the lower connecting flange 1 is firmly installed and tightly fitted to the well wall of the observation well 12. An annular sealing block 2 is placed between the lower connecting flange 1 and the outer well wall of the observation well 12, and tightened using the lower clamping bolt 14. The annular sealing block 2 should fit tightly against both the lower connecting flange 1 and the well wall of the observation well 12 to provide the first seal. Then, the upper connecting flange 3 is installed on top of the lower connecting flange 1 using fastening bolts, ensuring that the upper connecting flange 3 is aligned and tightly connected with the lower connecting flange 1. A sealing ring 4 is installed in the mounting groove 31 of the upper connecting flange 3 and the lower connecting flange 1, which helps to enhance the sealing between the upper connecting flange 3 and the lower connecting flange 1, further enhancing the sealing performance. A sealing block 5 is installed on the upper connecting flange 3, positioned at the top of the wellhead of the observation well 12. Simultaneously, at the connection between the sealing block 5 and the upper connecting flange 3, and at the connection between the inner well wall of the observation well 12 and the sealing block 5… Install sealing rings 6 at the connection points to ensure a good seal. Use upper tightening bolts 32 to tighten the sealing rings 6 at the connection between the sealing block 5 and the upper connecting flange 3 to ensure a good seal. Install sealing plugs 9 on the connecting pipe 7 and the vent pipe 8. Install sealing rings 10 at the connection between the connecting pipe 7 and the sealing plug 9, and at the connection between the vent pipe 8 and the sealing plug 9, to provide additional sealing protection. Apply sealant to the connection between the cable 11 and the round hole 91 of the sealing plug 9 on the connecting pipe 7. Then extend the cable 11 through the round hole 91 into the observation well 12. This can prevent gas leakage and allow the connection of sensors and other equipment for monitoring via the cable 11.
[0020] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, flexible sealing blocks 15 are installed at the ends of the lower clamping bolt 14 and the upper clamping bolt 32 to prevent the lower clamping bolt 14 and the upper clamping bolt 32 from directly pressing against the annular sealing block 2 and the sealing ring 6, thereby preventing damage to the annular sealing block 2 and the sealing ring 6 and extending the service life of the annular sealing block 2 and the sealing ring 6.
[0021] The annular sealing block 2 is made of copper alloy material with high strength and wear resistance, suitable for high temperature, high pressure and corrosive environments.
[0022] The sealing ring 6 is made of rubber material with good elasticity and adaptability, which can adapt to a certain degree of deformation of the wellhead of the observation well 12.
[0023] Work process:
[0024] The lower connecting flange 1 is fixed to the well wall of the observation well 12 using fastening bolts and threaded holes 13, ensuring that the lower connecting flange 1 is firmly installed and tightly fitted to the well wall of the observation well 12. An annular sealing block 2 is placed between the lower connecting flange 1 and the outer well wall of the observation well 12, and tightened using the lower clamping bolt 14. The annular sealing block 2 should fit tightly against both the lower connecting flange 1 and the well wall of the observation well 12 to provide the first seal. Then, the upper connecting flange 3 is installed on top of the lower connecting flange 1 using fastening bolts, ensuring that the upper connecting flange 3 is aligned and tightly connected with the lower connecting flange 1. A sealing ring 4 is installed in the mounting groove 31 of the upper connecting flange 3 and the lower connecting flange 1, which helps to enhance the sealing between the upper connecting flange 3 and the lower connecting flange 1, further enhancing the sealing performance. A sealing block 5 is installed on the upper connecting flange 3, positioned at the top of the wellhead of the observation well 12. Simultaneously, at the connection between the sealing block 5 and the upper connecting flange 3, and at the connection between the inner well wall of the observation well 12 and the sealing block 5… A sealing ring 6 is installed at the connection to ensure a good seal. The upper tightening bolt 32 is used to tighten the sealing ring 6 at the connection between the sealing block 5 and the upper connecting flange 3 to ensure a sealing effect. A sealing plug 9 is installed on the connecting pipe 7 and the gas outlet pipe 8. A sealing ring 10 is installed at the connection between the connecting pipe 7 and the sealing plug 9, and at the connection between the gas outlet pipe 8 and the sealing plug 9, to provide additional sealing protection. Sealant is applied to the connection between the cable 11 and the round hole 91 of the sealing plug 9 on the connecting pipe 7. Then the cable 11 is extended through the round hole 91 into the inside of the observation well 12. This can prevent gas leakage and allow the connection of sensors and other equipment for monitoring through the cable 11. Through the multiple sealing structures, including the annular sealing block 2, the sealing ring 4, the sealing ring 6, and the sealing ring 10, working together, gas leakage is prevented at the wellhead of the observation well 12 and at each connecting component, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of gas collection, so as to obtain earthquake precursor information by measuring the physical and chemical properties of underground fluids.
