Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petroleum extraction technology, and in particular to an inorganic proppant soaking and reinforcing device. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese utility model patent (title: "An Improved Method for Reducing the Fragmentation Rate of Quartz Sand Proppant for Oil Fracturing and Quartz Sand Proppant", announcement number: CN115784771B, announcement date: 20240920) discloses a method of adding quartz sand to a repair agent solution; allowing it to stand in an acidic or alkaline environment; and then drying it to complete the strengthening and modification of the quartz sand. This method utilizes the capillary action of the fractures within the quartz sand particles to draw the repair agent into these fractures, thereby repairing the fractures and improving the strength of the quartz sand.
[0003] In laboratory settings, the above-mentioned preparation process demonstrates a relatively stable immersion reinforcement effect due to the small amount of quartz sand used. However, in industrial-scale production, the dense packing of the quartz sand hinders the rapid contact between the repair agent solution, acid, or alkali solution and the bottom layer of quartz sand. Furthermore, if stirring is employed, a high-power motor is required due to the high specific gravity of quartz sand. Utility Model Content

[0041] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention.
[0042] The embodiments of the utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0043] Figure 1 This is a front view of the inorganic proppant soaking and reinforcing device in the embodiment. Figure 2 This is a top view of the inorganic proppant soaking and reinforcing device in the embodiment. Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the inorganic proppant soaking and reinforcing device in the embodiment. Figure 1 The sidewalls of the tank are not shown. Figure 4 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the inorganic proppant soaking and reinforcing device in the embodiment. Figure 2 .like Figures 1-4 As shown, the inorganic proppant immersion reinforcement device includes a tank 100. The internal space of the tank 100 is the main area where the quartz sand proppant and repair agent solution, as well as the quartz sand particles, come into contact with each other, thereby repairing and reinforcing the cracks. A support plate 110 is detachably mounted on the open top of the tank 100. The two sides of the support plate 110 are roughly symmetrical fan-shaped, and the edges of the fan-shaped portions can be connected to the open top of the tank 100 via bolts and nuts (not shown in the figure). The middle of the support plate 110 is roughly annular, with the annular portion and the fan-shaped portion integrally formed, and the inner side of the annular portion is a working window 111. A discharge port 120 is provided on the outer side of the lowest point of the tank 100, and a first electric switch valve (not shown in the figure) is installed on the discharge port 120. The opening and closing of the first electric switch valve is controlled by a controller. In this embodiment, after the quartz sand raw material is put into the tank 100, a repair agent solution, acid or alkali solution is added, and the mixture is left to soak and stand to achieve crack repair and reinforcement. Finally, it can be discharged through the discharge port 120.
[0044] Figure 5 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the combined structure of the buffer tank and the liquid distribution assembly in the embodiment. Figures 1-5As shown, the inorganic proppant soaking reinforcement device also includes a generally closed cylindrical buffer tank 200, which is used to buffer the repair agent solution, acid, or alkali solution. The buffer tank 200 is located above the support plate 110. The top of the buffer tank 200 is provided with an inlet 210 and a pressure balancing pipe 220. The inlet 210 is connected to the repair agent solution storage tank, acid storage tank, or alkali storage tank via a flexible pipe (such as a plastic hose or metal hose). A second electric switch valve (not shown in the figure) is provided on the inlet 210, and the opening and closing of the second electric switch valve is implemented by a controller. The free end of the pressure balancing pipe 220 is bent towards the inner bottom of the tank body 100, and the free end of the pressure balancing pipe 220 is located below the open top surface of the tank body 100. A drain pipe 230 is provided at the bottom of the buffer tank 200; the drain pipe 230 passes through the working window 111, and its lower end extends into the tank body 100. In this embodiment, the repair agent solution, acid solution, or alkali solution stored in the repair agent solution storage tank, acid solution storage tank, or alkali solution storage tank respectively can enter the buffer tank 200 through the inlet 210 via a flexible pipe, and then enter the tank body 100 through the drain pipe 230 under gravity. The pressure balancing pipe 220 balances the pressure in the buffer tank 200 and can also guide the continuously input repair agent solution, acid solution, or alkali solution into the tank body 100 after the buffer tank 200 is full, thus preventing excessive pressure in the buffer tank 200. Moreover, the buffer tank 200 has a certain height relative to the bottom surface of the tank body 100, which can create a pressure difference. At the same time, a liquid level sensor (not shown in the figure) is installed inside the buffer tank 200. When the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the buffer tank 200 reaches the upper limit, the controller controls the second electric switch valve to close; when the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the buffer tank 200 reaches the lower limit, the controller controls the second electric switch valve to open.
[0045] like Figures 1-4As shown, the inorganic proppant immersion reinforcement device also includes a liquid distribution assembly 300; the height of the liquid distribution assembly 300 is 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the internal depth of the tank 100, the liquid distribution assembly 300 is located inside the tank 100, and has a gap of 5 to 50 cm between it and the side wall and bottom of the adjacent tank 100; the top of the liquid distribution assembly 300 is connected to the lower end of the drain pipe 230; when the quartz sand raw material is loaded into the tank 100, it can at least submerge the lower part of the liquid distribution assembly 300, or when the full load is applied, the quartz sand raw material can completely submerge the liquid distribution assembly 300, and the repair agent solution released from the buffer tank 200... Acid or alkali solution is released from the liquid distribution component 300, that is, from inside the piled quartz sand raw material. The release position covers the lower, middle and upper parts of the piled quartz sand raw material from bottom to top. Compared with the method of the repair agent solution, acid or alkali solution migrating and soaking from the top of the piled quartz sand raw material, the liquid distribution component can accelerate the contact and soaking process between the repair agent solution, acid or alkali solution and the quartz sand raw material, ensuring the soaking repair and reinforcement effect. Moreover, there is no need to use auxiliary stirring, which can also avoid the expansion of cracks in the quartz sand raw material under strong stirring, and increase the consumption of repair agent solution, acid or alkali solution.
[0046] Specifically, the liquid distribution assembly 300 includes circular liquid distribution components 310 connected in series, and the multiple circular liquid distribution components 310 are detachably connected, such as by threaded connections, flange connections, etc. Figure 5 The CCP has shown a 310 with nine circular liquid distribution components. Figure 6 This is a front view of the circular liquid distribution component in this embodiment. Figure 7 This is a top view of the circular liquid distribution component in this embodiment. Figure 8 This is a bottom view of the circular liquid distribution component in this embodiment. Figures 6-8As shown, the circular liquid distribution component 310 has a connecting main pipe 311 that extends through both ends. A plurality of linear liquid distribution tubes 312 are evenly arranged circumferentially on the outer circumferential wall of the connecting main pipe 311; one end of each linear liquid distribution tube 311 is connected to the connecting main pipe 311, and the other end is closed; a plurality of circular first liquid distribution holes 313 are formed on the lower surface of the linear liquid distribution tube 311 (i.e., the side facing the bottom of the tank 100). A plurality of concentric circular liquid distribution tubes 314 are arranged on the outer side of the connecting main pipe 311 with the center of the connecting main pipe 311 as the geometric center; the circular liquid distribution tubes 314 intersect with the linear liquid distribution tubes 311, and the two are internally connected; a plurality of arc-shaped second liquid distribution holes 315 are formed on the lower surface of the circular liquid distribution tubes 314 (i.e., the side facing the bottom of the tank 100). When multiple circular liquid distribution components 310 are combined along the height of the tank 100, adjacent connecting main pipes 311 are connected in series by means of threaded connection or flange connection; the upper end of the connecting main pipe 311 of the uppermost circular liquid distribution component 310 is connected to the drain pipe 230 by means of threaded connection or flange connection, and the lower end of the connecting main pipe 311 of the lowermost circular liquid distribution component 310 is sealed with a plug; the gap between the free end of the linear liquid distribution pipe 311 and the inner wall of the tank 100 is 5~50cm, the gap between the linear liquid distribution pipe 311 of the lowermost circular liquid distribution component 310 and the bottom wall of the tank 100 is 5~50cm, and the lower end of the connecting main pipe 311 does not touch the bottom wall of the tank 100; thus, the circular liquid distribution component 310 composed of multiple circular liquid distribution components 310 is suspended in the lower part of the tank 100. The repair agent solution, acid solution or alkali solution released from the buffer tank 200 is uniformly released from the first distribution hole 313 of the linear distribution pipe 312 and the second distribution hole 315 of the circular distribution pipe 314 of the circular distribution component 310 at different heights under the action of pressure difference. They come into contact with the quartz sand raw material at different heights inside the accumulated quartz sand raw material, and soak, repair and reinforce it.
[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, to facilitate the uniform release of the repair agent solution, acid, or alkali solution from the first distribution hole 313 of the linear distribution tube 312 and the second distribution hole 315 of the circular distribution tube 314, preventing clogging and simultaneously forming a distribution void, the cross-sections of the linear distribution tube 312 and the circular distribution tube 314 are semi-circular fan-shaped or pointed, that is, the linear distribution tube 312 and the circular distribution tube 314 each have a groove-shaped recessed area 316, such as... Figure 4As shown in the diagram, the opening of the trough-shaped recessed area 316 faces the bottom of the tank 100, and the first liquid distribution hole 313 and the second liquid distribution hole 315 are located at the bottom of the trough-shaped recessed area 316. Simultaneously, a circular baffle 317 is installed at the free end of the linear liquid distribution pipe 312 to prevent the long end of the quartz sand raw material trough from entering the trough-shaped recessed area 316. When the quartz sand raw material naturally accumulates inside the tank 100, the sidewall of the trough-shaped recessed area 316 blocks it, preventing quartz sand raw material from accumulating near the bottom of the trough-shaped recessed area 316, thus forming a liquid distribution void. This increases the contact area between the repair agent solution, acid solution, or alkali solution and the quartz sand raw material, and also makes it less likely for quartz sand particles to block the first liquid distribution hole 313 and the second liquid distribution hole 315.
[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, to ensure that the release points of the repair agent solution, acid, or alkali solution are more widely covered within the accumulated quartz sand raw material, the linear distribution pipes 312 and circular distribution pipes 314 of two adjacent circular distribution components 310 are arranged in an alternating manner. Additionally, from bottom to top, the number and / or area of the first distribution hole 313 and the second distribution hole 315 on the circular distribution component 310 gradually decrease.
[0049] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the inorganic proppant soaking reinforcement device also includes a circulation assembly 400. The circulation assembly 400 has a circulation pump 410, which is mounted on a fan-shaped portion of one side of the support plate 100. The inlet pipe end of the circulation pump 410 extends into the tank 100, is submerged below the liquid surface of the repair agent solution, acid solution, or alkali solution, and is equipped with a filter (not shown in the figure) carrying filter media such as filter screen and filter sponge. The outlet pipe end of the circulation pump 410 is connected to the circulation interface 240 provided on the top of the buffer tank 200 via a flexible tube (such as a plastic hose, metal hose, etc.). During the later stages of soaking, the repair agent solution storage tank, acid storage tank, or alkali storage tank no longer replenishes the tank 100 with new repair agent solution, acid, or alkali. Instead, the upper layer of repair agent solution, acid, or alkali in the tank 100 is pumped into the buffer tank 200 by the circulation pump 410, and then replenished to the lower part of the quartz sand raw material by the liquid distribution assembly 300 for internal circulation, thereby improving the uniformity of the concentration of the repair agent solution, acid, or alkali in the tank 100. Simultaneously, in this embodiment, when the level sensor detects that the liquid level in the buffer tank 200 has reached the upper limit, the controller shuts off the circulation pump 410; conversely, when the level sensor detects that the liquid level in the buffer tank 200 has reached the lower limit, the controller turns on the circulation pump 410.
[0050] like Figures 1-4As shown, limit seats 130 are symmetrically arranged on the fan-shaped portions on both sides of the support plate 100. The distance between the two limit seats 130 is greater than the diameter of the buffer tank 200, and the diameter of the working window 111 is greater than the diameter of the drain pipe 230. Two guide grooves 131 are correspondingly opened on the top surfaces of the two limit seats 130. A hydraulic cylinder 500 is also provided on the fan-shaped portion on the other side of the support plate 100. The piston rod 510 of the hydraulic cylinder 500 is approximately in the direction of the diameter of the buffer tank 200. Two guide ears 250 are respectively provided on the opposite side walls of the buffer tank 200 in the diameter direction. The lower part of the guide ears 250 is respectively inserted into the corresponding guide grooves 131, and there is a gap between the lower part of the guide ears 250 and the bottom of the guide grooves 131. The free end of the piston rod 510 of the hydraulic cylinder 500 is connected to the guide ear 250 on the side adjacent to the hydraulic cylinder 500 by a pin. For example, the free end of the piston rod 510 extends between the two guide ears 250 and is provided with a pin 520. The diameter of the hole on the guide ear 250 through which the pin 520 passes is larger than the diameter of the pin 520. At the same time, the piston rod 510 does not contact the limiting seat 130. Rollers 260 are provided on opposite sides of the bottom of the buffer tank 200 in the radial direction. The rollers 260 are in rolling contact with the support plate 110. In this embodiment, when the controller detects that the rate of drop in the liquid level in the buffer tank 200 is significantly lower than the preset threshold, i.e., when the release of the repair agent solution, acid, or alkali solution at the first liquid distribution hole 313 and the second liquid distribution hole 315 is not smooth, the hydraulic cylinder 500 is activated to repeatedly push the buffer tank 500 to move back and forth quickly (e.g., 10 times / min) with a small amplitude (e.g., the piston rod stroke is 1~5cm). This causes the suspended liquid distribution component 300 to shake in place, e.g., the liquid distribution component 300 slightly tilts up and flattens, thereby changing the local accumulation structure of the quartz sand raw material and clearing the blockage.
[0051] When implementing the inorganic proppant immersion reinforcement method using the aforementioned inorganic proppant immersion reinforcement device, two inorganic proppant immersion reinforcement devices are designed. One inorganic proppant immersion reinforcement device first immerses the quartz sand in the repair solution, and then the other inorganic proppant immersion reinforcement device immerses the quartz sand originally immersed in the repair solution in acid or alkali solution. The specific process includes the following:
[0052] Step S1: Quartz sand raw material is loaded into the tank 100 of an inorganic proppant soaking and reinforcing device, and the liquid distribution assembly 300 is submerged.
[0053] Step S2: The repair agent solution is introduced into the buffer tank 200 from the repair agent solution storage tank, and the repair agent solution is released directly from the piled quartz sand raw material by the liquid distribution assembly 300.
[0054] Step S3: When the liquid level of the repair agent solution in tank 100 is higher than the uppermost surface of the quartz sand raw material to a preset height, the repair agent solution storage tank stops inputting the repair agent solution into the buffer tank 200. The circulation component 400 extracts the repair agent solution from the upper layer of tank 100 and inputs it into the buffer tank 200. The liquid distribution component 300 directly releases the repair agent solution from the accumulated quartz sand raw material to perform internal circulation.
[0055] Step S4: After soaking in the repair agent solution for a preset time, stop the internal circulation and release the remaining repair agent solution and quartz sand raw material;
[0056] Step S5: The separated quartz sand raw material is put into the tank 100 of another inorganic proppant soaking and reinforcing device, and soaked in acid or alkali solution as in steps S2 to S3.
[0057] Step S6: After soaking in acid or alkali solution for a preset time, stop the internal circulation, and release the residual acid or alkali solution and the quartz sand raw material. Wash with water and dry to obtain the finished quartz sand proppant.
[0058] In this embodiment, the liquid distribution component releases the liquid from inside the accumulated quartz sand raw material, which can accelerate the contact and immersion process between the repair agent solution, acid solution or alkali solution and the quartz sand raw material, ensuring the immersion repair and reinforcement effect. Moreover, there is no need to use auxiliary stirring, which can also avoid the expansion of cracks in the quartz sand raw material under strong stirring, and increase the consumption of repair agent solution, acid solution or alkali solution.
