Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of oil well development technology, and in particular to a high-pressure polymer injection skid for oil well development. Background Technology
[0002] As oil fields are developed, formation pressure continuously decreases, making it difficult to achieve high and stable production. Currently, polymer flooding is one of the main measures used in the development of ultra-high water-cut oil fields to improve oil recovery and increase recoverable reserves. By injecting a polymer solution of a certain concentration into the formation from the wellhead, the viscosity of the injected fluid is increased, improving the flow ratio between oil and water, thereby expanding the swept volume and improving oil recovery.
[0003] Existing problem: The polymer solution is a pseudoplastic fluid among non-Newtonian fluids. If subjected to shear force during flow, the polymer molecular chains break, disrupting the polymer structure and consequently reducing viscosity. This leads to a decrease in the viscosity of the injected fluid, with viscosity losses from preparation to injection well reaching up to 70%. Conventional valves cause viscosity losses exceeding 40%.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0042] This application provides a high-pressure polymer injection skid for oil extraction, which can solve the problems in related technologies where the viscosity of the injected liquid decreases when subjected to shear force during the flow of polymer solution preparation equipment, and where the construction cycle of polymer solution preparation equipment is long, the area occupied is large, and it cannot be reused.
[0043] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this application provides a high-pressure polymer injection skid for oil extraction, comprising:
[0044] A polymer inlet pipeline 10 is provided, on which a first flow meter 11, a low-shear flow regulating valve 12, and a first check valve 13 are sequentially connected along the flow direction of the polymer. The first flow meter 11 provides flow feedback and adjusts the opening of the low-shear flow regulating valve 12 in real time, thereby ensuring that the actual flow of the low-shear flow regulating valve 12 meets the requirements. A first check valve 13 is installed at the outlet of the low-shear flow regulating valve 12 to prevent backflow of the mixed medium, which would affect the concentration of the polymer before mixing and ensure that the mixed medium meets the design requirements.
[0045] Water injection pipeline 20, along the water flow direction, is connected in sequence to a second flow meter 21, a water flow regulating valve 22, and a second check valve 23. The second flow meter 21 provides feedback on the flow rate and adjusts the water flow regulating valve 22 in real time to ensure that the actual flow rate of the water flow regulating valve 22 meets the requirements. The second check valve 23 is installed at the outlet of the water flow regulating valve to prevent the backflow of the mixed medium, which would affect the quality of the injected water and ensure that the mixed medium meets the design requirements.
[0046] The mixture output pipeline 30 has its inlet connected to the outlets of the polymer input pipeline 10 and the water injection pipeline 20, respectively. A static mixer 31 and a third check valve 32 are connected to the mixture output pipeline 30. The polymer mother liquor, after passing through the low-shear flow regulating valve 12, precisely regulates its flow rate into the mixture output pipeline 30. In the static mixer 31, it is mixed with water to prepare the desired polymer target liquid, which is then injected into the oil well via pipeline. The third check valve 32 prevents the polymer target liquid in the mixture output pipeline 30 from flowing back.
[0047] In this embodiment of the oil well application, a high-pressure polymer injection skid is used to deliver polymer mother liquor via polymer input pipeline 10, which flows sequentially through a first flow meter 11, a low-shear flow regulating valve 12, and a first check valve 13 before entering the mixture output pipeline 30. Water input pipeline 20 delivers water sequentially through a second flow meter 21, a water flow regulating valve 22, and a second check valve 23 before entering the mixture output pipeline 30. The polymer mother liquor, after passing through the low-shear flow regulating valve 12, has its flow rate precisely regulated before entering the mixture output pipeline 30. In the static mixer 31, it is mixed with water to prepare a polymer target liquid of the desired concentration, which is then injected into the oil well via pipeline.
[0048] The low-shear flow regulating valve 12 of this application can significantly reduce the shear force on the polymer mother liquor, ensuring that the polymer mother liquor has a high viscosity retention rate. The first flow meter 11 provides feedback flow and adjusts the opening of the low-shear flow regulating valve 12 in real time, thereby ensuring that the actual flow of the low-shear flow regulating valve 12 meets the requirements. A first check valve 13 is provided at the outlet of the low-shear flow regulating valve 12 to prevent the backflow of the mixed medium, which would affect the concentration of the polymer before mixing and ensure that the medium meets the design requirements after mixing.
[0049] The second flow meter 21 provides feedback on the flow rate to real-time adjust the water flow regulating valve 22, ensuring that the actual flow rate of the water flow regulating valve 22 meets the requirements. A second check valve 23 is installed at the outlet of the water flow regulating valve 22 to prevent the mixed medium from flowing back and affecting the quality of the injected water, ensuring that the mixed medium meets the design requirements. The polymer inlet pipeline 10, the water injection inlet pipeline 20, and the mixture outlet pipeline 30 of this application can be prefabricated as a skid, with a compact structure, facilitating intelligent on-site control and reducing labor and site requirements.
[0050] In some alternative embodiments: see Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a high-pressure polymer injection skid for oil extraction. The high-pressure polymer injection skid for oil extraction also includes a skid body 40, which is a rectangular frame structure formed by connecting profiles. The polymer inlet pipe 10, the water inlet pipe 20, and the mixture outlet pipe 30 are all fixedly connected to the skid body 40.
[0051] The polymer inlet pipe 10, water inlet pipe 20, and mixture outlet pipe 30 are each provided in two sets. One set of polymer inlet pipe 10, water inlet pipe 20, and mixture outlet pipe 30 are interconnected to form a first polymer injection module 50. The other set of polymer inlet pipe 10, water inlet pipe 20, and mixture outlet pipe 30 are interconnected to form a second polymer injection module 60. The first polymer injection module 50 and the second polymer injection module 60 are symmetrically spaced within the skid body 40.
[0052] The first polymer injection module 50 and the second polymer injection module 60 can inject polymer target fluid into two oil wells separately or simultaneously, or they can inject polymer target fluid into one oil well together, which improves the flexibility and efficiency of using high-pressure polymer injection skids in oil development.
[0053] In some alternative embodiments: see Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a high-pressure polymer injection skid for oil extraction, wherein the mixture output pipeline 30 of the high-pressure polymer injection skid is connected to a sampler 70. The sampler 70 includes a sampling branch pipeline 71 connected to the mixture output pipeline 30, a first valve 72 connected to the sampling branch pipeline 71, a sampling chamber 73 connected to the outlet of the sampling branch pipeline 71, and a second valve 76 connected to the sampling chamber 73 for discharging the sample.
[0054] A piston 74 is slidably and sealed within the sampling chamber 73. A guide rod 75, connected to the piston 74, is located within the sampling chamber 73. A drive spring 77, which drives the piston 74 to slide towards the sampling branch pipe 71, is fitted onto the guide rod 75. When the first valve 72 is opened, the high-pressure polymer target liquid located in the mixture output pipe 30 enters the sampling chamber 73. The polymer target liquid drives the piston 74 within the sampling chamber 73 to slide away from the sampling branch pipe 71, compressing the drive spring 77 and storing energy.
[0055] When a set volume of polymer target liquid sample is collected in sampling chamber 73, the first valve 72 is closed. Then the second valve 76 is opened, and the polymer target liquid sample in sampling chamber 73 is slid towards sampling branch pipe 71 by driving piston 74 driven by drive spring 77. After the polymer target liquid sample in sampling chamber 73 is discharged from the second valve 76, its viscosity is measured.
[0056] In some alternative embodiments: see Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a high-pressure polymer injection skid is provided for oil extraction. The inlet of the mixture output pipeline 30 of the high-pressure polymer injection skid is connected to the outlet of the polymer input pipeline 10 and the outlet of the water injection pipeline 20 respectively through a tee connector 33. A dosing pipeline 34 is provided upstream of the static mixer 31 for the mixture output pipeline 30, and a third valve 35 is connected to the dosing pipeline 34.
[0057] In this embodiment, a dosing line 34 is provided upstream of the static mixer 31 in the mixture output line 30. This dosing line 34 has two sets, and each set is equipped with a third valve 35. The two sets of dosing lines 34 are used to add flocculant, etc., into the mixture output line 30, respectively. The third valve 35 is used to control the on / off state or flow rate of the dosing lines 34.
[0058] In some alternative embodiments: see Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a high-pressure polymer injection skid for oil extraction is provided. The polymer input pipeline 10 of the high-pressure polymer injection skid for oil extraction is located upstream of the first flow meter 11 and is connected to a first pressure sensor 14 and a fourth valve 15. The first pressure sensor 14 is used to detect the pressure value of the polymer mother liquor entering the polymer input pipeline 10, and the fourth valve 15 is used to control the on / off position or flow rate of the polymer input pipeline 10 inlet.
[0059] The water inlet pipe 20 is located upstream of the second flow meter 21 and is connected to a second pressure sensor 25 and a first pressure transmitter 26. The second pressure sensor 25 and the first pressure transmitter 26 are used to detect the pressure value of the water flow entering the water inlet pipe 20. The first pressure transmitter 26 can be connected to a display instrument through a line, and the display instrument displays the pressure value of the water flow in the water inlet pipe 20.
[0060] The mixture output line 30, located downstream of the third check valve 32, is connected to a third pressure sensor 36, a second pressure transmitter 37, and a fifth valve 38. The third pressure sensor 36 and the second pressure transmitter 37 are used to detect the pressure value of the polymer target liquid in the mixture output line 30. The second pressure transmitter 37 can be connected to a display instrument via a line, which displays the pressure value of the polymer target liquid in the mixture output line 30. The fifth valve 38 can be used to control the on / off position or flow rate of the mixture output line 30 outlet.
[0061] In some alternative embodiments: see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the illustration, this application provides a high-pressure polymer injection skid for oil well operations. The low-shear flow regulating valve 12 of the skid is connected to a first electric controller 16, and the water flow regulating valve 22 is connected to a second electric controller 24. The first electric controller 16 is used to automatically control the flow rate of the low-shear flow regulating valve 12, and the second electric controller 24 is used to automatically control the flow rate of the water flow regulating valve 22.
[0062] The low shear flow regulating valve 12 includes a cylindrical valve body 121. Multiple valve sleeves 122 are sequentially connected along the length of the valve body 121 within the valve body 121. A valve stem 123 is slidably connected within each valve sleeve 122. Each valve sleeve 122 has a flange 124 that is slidably and sealingly connected to the valve stem 123. A valve cavity 125 with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the valve stem 123 is formed between two adjacent flanges 124.
[0063] Multiple guide grooves 126 are provided on the outer periphery of the valve stem 123 to connect two adjacent valve chambers 125. The multiple guide grooves 126 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the valve stem 123. The circumferential angle between two adjacent guide grooves 126 along the length of the valve stem 123 is 90-270°, and two guide grooves 126 are symmetrically arranged at the same axial position of the valve stem 123. The shape of the guide grooves 126 is preferably, but not limited to, a "(" shape, "〔" shape, etc.
[0064] The output end of the first electric controller 16 is connected to the valve stem 123 and drives the valve stem 123 to slide back and forth in the valve sleeve 122. When the first electric controller 16 drives the multiple guide grooves 126 on the valve stem 123 to be located in the valve cavity 125, the valve stem 123 is sealed to the flange 124 to close the two adjacent valve cavities 125. At this time, the low shear flow regulating valve 12 is in the cut-off state.
[0065] When the first electric actuator 16 drives the multiple guide grooves 126 on the valve stem 123 to be located within the valve chamber 125 and the flange 124, a medium flow channel is formed between the multiple guide grooves 126 on the valve stem 123 and the flange 124, opening and connecting two adjacent valve chambers 125. At this time, the low shear flow regulating valve 12 is in the open state. By adjusting the axial position between the multiple guide grooves 126 and the valve chamber 125 and the flange 124, the cross-sectional size of the medium flow channel can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the low shear flow regulating valve 12.

A water injection pipeline 20 sequentially flows water through a second flow meter 21, a water flow regulating valve 22, and a second check valve 23 before entering the mixture output pipeline 30. The polymer mother liquor, after passing through the low-shear flow regulating valve 12, precisely regulates its flow rate before entering the mixture output pipeline 30. In the static mixer 31, it is mixed with water to prepare the desired polymer target liquid, which is then injected into the oil well via pipeline.
[0069] The low-shear flow regulating valve 12 of this application can significantly reduce the shear force on the polymer mother liquor, ensuring a high viscosity retention rate.

A second check valve 23 is installed at the outlet of the water flow regulating valve 22 to prevent backflow of the mixed medium, which could affect the injection water quality and ensure that the mixed medium meets design requirements. This application is prefabricated on a skid, with a compact structure, facilitating intelligent on-site control and reducing labor and space requirements.
