This device solves the problem of high internal pressure in oil wells, which may lead to blowouts or oil outlet pipe rupture.

[0004] The pressure relief device in the aforementioned patent still has certain shortcomings. In actual use, existing oil well pressure relief devices not only accumulate a large amount of pressure in oil wells that have been shut down for a long time, but also produce hydrogen sulfide gas. However, traditional pressure relief methods are difficult to deal with hydrogen sulfide gas, and rashly releasing it will cause environmental pollution. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an oil well pressure relief device. This device solves the problem that existing oil well pressure relief devices, when used in actual applications, not only accumulate significant pressure in oil wells that have been shut down for a long time, but also generate hydrogen sulfide gas. However, traditional pressure relief methods are inadequate for treating hydrogen sulfide gas, and its unauthorized release would cause environmental pollution.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 ,

[0025] Example 1: An oil well pressure relief device includes an oil well pipe 1, a well pipe closure cover 2 is provided at the top of the oil well pipe 1, an oil well pipe 3 is connected to one side of the well pipe closure cover 2, a first valve 4 is provided on the oil well pipe 3, and an oil well safety pressure relief component 5 is provided on the other side of the well pipe closure cover 2.

[0026] The oil well safety pressure relief assembly 5 includes a pressure relief pipe 501 connected to the well casing closure cover 2, a second valve 502 installed on the pressure relief pipe 501, a pressure relief purification box 503 installed on the side of the oil well casing 1, movable wheels 504 evenly arranged around the bottom of the pressure relief purification box 503, a top closure cover 505 rotatably installed on the top of the pressure relief purification box 503, an installation socket 506 opened in the middle of the side of the top closure cover 505, an output hose 507 connected to the end of the pressure relief pipe 501, a box wall connecting frame 508 installed inside the pressure relief purification box 503, and an air inlet buffer pipe 509 installed at the top of the box wall connecting frame 508.

[0027] The bottom end of the air intake buffer pipe 509 is evenly connected to several pressure relief exhaust pipes 510. Several pressure relief exhaust holes 511 are evenly opened on both sides of the bottom end of the pressure relief exhaust pipes 510. The top end of the middle part of the air intake buffer pipe 509 is connected to a conveying connection pipe 512. The top end of the conveying connection pipe 512 passes through the middle part of the box wall connecting frame 508. A hydrogen sulfide detector 513 is installed at the top end of the conveying connection pipe 512. The end of the output hose 507 is connected to the hydrogen sulfide detector 513. The bottom end of the side of the pressure relief purification box 503 is connected to a drain pipe 514. A closing valve 515 is installed on the drain pipe 514.

[0028] Example 2: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the pressure relief purification box 503 is a rectangular cylinder with an opening at the top.

[0029] This allows users to better add sodium hydroxide solution to the pressure relief and purification box 503, so that the introduced hydrogen sulfide gas can be better absorbed.

[0030] Example 3: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the end of the mounting socket 506 is in the shape of a semi-circular arc.

[0031] This allows the delivery connection pipe 512 to pass through the mounting socket 506 more easily.

[0032] Example 4: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the inner diameter of the intake buffer pipe 509 is larger than the inner diameter of the pressure relief exhaust pipe 510.

[0033] This allows the high pressure entering the intake buffer pipe 509 to be buffered and then enter the pressure relief exhaust pipe 510.

[0034] In this embodiment, when existing oil well pressure relief devices are actually used, oil wells that have been shut down for a long time not only accumulate a large amount of pressure inside, but also produce hydrogen sulfide gas. However, traditional pressure relief methods are difficult to deal with hydrogen sulfide gas, and rashly releasing it will cause environmental pollution.

[0035] In summary, in specific implementation, when the user needs to depressurize the pressurized gas containing hydrogen sulfide generated in the oil well pipe 1 before oil production, the user first injects an appropriate amount of sodium hydroxide solution into the pressure relief and purification tank 503 in the oil well safety pressure relief component 5, and then opens the second valve 502 set on the pressure relief pipe 501, so that the high-pressure gas in the oil well pipe 1 is transported to the output hose 507 through the pressure relief pipe 501. The top of the transmission connection pipe 512 is equipped with a hydrogen sulfide detector 513, which is connected to the output hose 507.

[0036] This allows the high-pressure hydrogen sulfide-containing gas passing through the hydrogen sulfide detector 513 to be detected by the hydrogen sulfide detector 513. When the hydrogen sulfide gas enters the hydrogen sulfide detector 513, and the hydrogen sulfide detector 513 is the existing QRAE3 PGM-2500 model, an electrochemical reaction occurs, generating a current signal proportional to the hydrogen sulfide concentration. The hydrogen sulfide detector 513 converts this signal into a digital display, allowing for real-time reading of the hydrogen sulfide concentration value, thus enabling continuous detection of the hydrogen sulfide concentration in the gas.

[0037] The high-pressure gas passing through the hydrogen sulfide detector 513 continues to enter the intake buffer pipe 509 through the delivery connection pipe 512. Several pressure relief and exhaust pipes 510 are evenly arranged at the bottom end of the intake buffer pipe 509. Several pressure relief and exhaust holes 511 are evenly opened on both sides of the bottom end of the pressure relief and exhaust pipes 510. The sodium hydroxide solution injected into the pressure relief and purification box 503 will submerge the pressure relief and exhaust holes 511.

[0038] This allows the hydrogen sulfide in the pressure relief gas containing hydrogen sulfide introduced into the sodium hydroxide solution through the pressure relief vent 511 to be absorbed by the solution, while the remaining high-pressure gas is discharged into the air through the installation port 506. This achieves the purpose of relieving the high-pressure gas containing hydrogen sulfide in the oil well pipe 1, and at the same time, it can absorb and treat the hydrogen sulfide contained in the high-pressure gas, making the discharge into the air safer and cleaner, avoiding environmental pollution, and making it more convenient for users.

[0039] Furthermore, since the pressure relief purification box 503 is equipped with casters 504 at the bottom, it is more convenient to move and use the pressure relief purification box 503. The drain pipe 514 can quickly and easily discharge the solution that has absorbed hydrogen sulfide in the pressure relief purification box 503, making it more convenient to use.
