AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

During oil well production, dead oil rings often form in the annulus, preventing chemicals from reaching the well and increasing the cost of operations such as pump inspection, tubing replacement, and sucker rod replacement.

Method used

A dual-channel well tubing string with chemical dosing capability was designed. Chemicals are added through the annulus of the large and small tubings. After the chemicals are mixed with the produced fluid from the oil layer, they enter the small tubing through the inner channel of the changeover joint and the sealed insertion pipe. The tubing is then pumped to the surface by the pump, achieving positive or reverse circulation well washing and avoiding the formation of dead oil rings.

Benefits of technology

This effectively solved the problem of chemicals not being able to reach the well, extended the interval between pump inspections and tubing and sucker rod replacements, and reduced production costs.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil well production tubing technology, and in particular to a chemical-adding dual-channel oil well tubing. Background Technology

[0002] During oil well production, the formation water has complex properties; some is corrosive, some is prone to scaling, and some crude oil has a high wax content, making the tubing prone to wax formation. Usually, it is necessary to add corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, and wax removers and preventers through the annulus. However, when the crude oil has a high wax content and a high pour point, dead oil rings are easily formed in the annulus. The presence of dead oil rings prevents the agents from being added to the well through the annulus, forcing the company to periodically inspect the pump, replace the tubing and sucker rod, etc., which is costly. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-channel oil well tubing string that can be used for chemical dosing. Chemicals are added through the annulus of the large and small tubings. The chemicals are mixed with the produced fluid from the oil layer through a positive flow valve, and then enter the small tubing through the inner channel of the changeover joint and the sealed insertion pipe. The solution is to pump the chemicals to the surface by the oil pump, thus solving the problem that chemicals cannot be added downhole in oil wells with dead oil rings in the annulus.

[0004] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, this utility model provides a chemical-additionable dual-flow-channel oil well tubing string, comprising: an oil layer casing, a large oil tubing sleeved inside the oil layer casing, a small oil tubing sleeved inside the large oil tubing, a changeover joint installed at the bottom end of the large oil tubing, a sealing insert installed at the bottom end of the small oil tubing, a sealing cylinder installed at the top end of the changeover joint, the bottom end of the sealing insert being inserted into and sealed to the sealing cylinder, the small oil tubing being connected to the changeover joint through the insertion structure of the sealing insert and the sealing cylinder, a positive flow valve being provided on the side end of the sealing cylinder, one end of the positive flow valve being connected to the annulus between the large and small oil tubing, the other end of the positive flow valve being connected to the oil layer, and a pumping unit being installed inside the small oil tubing.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sealing tube is a through-tube structure, comprising an upper connector, an intermediate body, a lower connector, and a sealing element. The upper connector, intermediate body, and lower connector are sequentially threaded together. The upper end of the upper connector is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the small oil tube, and the lower end of the upper connector is a small-diameter section used to fit the sealing element. The upper end of the intermediate body is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the upper connector, and the upper end face of the intermediate body presses against the sealing element. The lower end of the intermediate body is a small-diameter section used to fit the sealing element. The upper end of the lower connector is threadedly connected to the lower end of the intermediate body, and the upper end face of the lower connector presses against the sealing element.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lower end face of the lower connector is provided with a horseshoe-shaped guide shoe.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sealing cylinder is a through-hole structure. The through-hole of the sealing cylinder includes a large-diameter section, a small-diameter section, and a step. The small-diameter section is located below the large-diameter section, and the top of the small-diameter section transitions to the bottom of the large-diameter section through the step. The bottom end of the sealing tube is inserted into the large-diameter section until it abuts against the step. The outer wall of the bottom end of the sealing cylinder is provided with external threads and is threadedly connected to the transformation joint.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the adapter includes a body, a first threaded interface at the top of the body, a second threaded interface below the first threaded interface, the diameter of the second threaded interface being smaller than the diameter of the first threaded interface, the top of the second threaded interface transitioning to the bottom of the first threaded interface via an inclined surface, the first threaded interface being threadedly connected to the bottom of the large oil pipe, the second threaded interface being threadedly connected to the bottom of the sealing cylinder, and a central through hole and an oblique through hole being provided inside the body, the central through hole and the oblique through hole being arranged side by side, the central through hole communicating with the sealing cylinder, and the oblique through hole communicating with the large oil pipe.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a lower oil pipe is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the central through hole, a plug is installed at the bottom end of the lower oil pipe, and a screen pipe is installed in the middle of the lower oil pipe.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the positive flow valve is installed in the oblique through hole. The positive flow valve includes a valve seat, a valve ball, a spring, and a retaining ring. The retaining ring is installed at the bottom end of the oblique through hole, and the valve seat is located in the middle of the oblique through hole. The valve seat has a flared opening structure.

One end of the spring is connected to the retaining ring, and the other end of the spring is connected to the valve ball.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a chemical-additionable dual-channel oil well tubing string, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention utilizes a method of adding chemicals through the annulus of both large and small tubing. The chemicals are mixed with the produced fluid from the oil layer via a forward flow valve, then enter the small tubing through the channel inside the changeover joint and a sealed insert, and are pumped to the surface by a pump. The same path can also be used for reverse circulation well washing; forward circulation well washing can also be achieved, with the chemicals returning from the annulus formed by the large tubing and casing. This solves the problem of chemicals not being able to be added downhole in wells with dead oil rings in the annulus. Furthermore, during normal production, due to the forward flow valve structure, crude oil produced from the formation cannot enter the annulus of both large and small tubing via the changeover joint, thus preventing the formation of dead oil rings in the annulus. This significantly extends the time required for pump inspection, tubing replacement, sucker rod replacement, and other operations, reducing production costs. Attached Figure Description
