Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wellhead devices, and in particular to a freeze-resistant and corrosion-resistant water injection wellhead device. Background Technology
[0002] Water injection wellhead equipment is a key component of oilfield water injection systems, primarily used to control the injection pressure, flow rate, and direction of the water injection well, while ensuring wellhead sealing and safety. In cold regions or corrosive environments, water injection wellhead equipment needs to possess antifreeze and corrosion-resistant properties to cope with material embrittlement caused by low temperatures, seal failure, and erosion of components by corrosive media. Currently, conventional water injection wellhead equipment is typically manufactured using ordinary carbon steel, with components connected by flanges or threads. However, under extreme operating conditions, its reliability and durability face severe challenges.
[0003] Existing water injection wellhead devices suffer from the following main problems: First, traditional structures often use flat gate valves or ordinary flange connections, which are prone to sealing failure due to material shrinkage or freezing expansion in low-temperature environments, and may even cause the gate valve to jam. Second, ordinary carbon steel structures are prone to pitting corrosion or stress corrosion cracking when exposed to corrosive media such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide for extended periods, shortening the equipment's service life. Furthermore, the tubing hangers in existing devices have insufficient sealing, making them prone to leakage under high-pressure water injection conditions, affecting injection efficiency and increasing maintenance costs. For example, existing water injection wellhead devices employ a single-layer sealing structure, which is insufficient to meet the long-term sealing requirements of high-pressure water injection wells and lacks anti-freezing design for low-temperature environments.
[0004] Therefore, how to design a water injection wellhead device that combines antifreeze, corrosion resistance and reliable sealing has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a freeze-proof and corrosion-resistant water injection wellhead device to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:
