[0001] This utility model relates to an associated gas power generation tail gas reinjection system, belonging to the field of oilfield production enhancement technology. Background Technology

[0002] Oilfield enhancement technologies are a core component of improving oil recovery (EOR). Traditional gas injection enhancement technologies mainly include carbon dioxide flooding, nitrogen flooding, and natural gas reinjection. Existing gas injection enhancement technologies have the following problems:

[0003] Relying on external gas sources (such as liquid CO2 transportation) is costly and poses supply chain risks.

[0004] Traditional pure gas injection suffers from low sweep efficiency, resulting in a large amount of crude oil not being effectively displaced, which seriously affects the effect of improving oil recovery.

[0005] Conventional natural gas reinjection requires the construction of a dedicated compression station, with equipment investment accounting for more than 40% of the increased production cost.

[0006] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0007] This invention addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing an associated gas power generation tail gas reinjection system. This system can utilize associated gas power generation tail gas to increase production, reduce the gas injection cost for oilfield production, and achieve synergistic reinjection of power generation tail gas and oil well produced water, thereby improving sweep efficiency.

[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] The associated gas power generation tail gas reinjection system includes a gas-liquid mixer, which is connected to the tail gas outlet pipe and a liquid-liquid mixer. The liquid-liquid mixer is connected to the bottom of the well produced water storage tank and the additive storage tank via pipelines. The outlet of the gas-liquid mixer is connected in sequence to a compressor and a gas-liquid distribution mechanism. The gas-liquid distribution mechanism includes a main distribution pipe connected to the compressor outlet, and multiple branch distribution pipes connected to the main distribution pipe are installed on the main distribution pipe. The outlet of the branch distribution pipes is connected to the gas injection well.

[0010] Furthermore, the exhaust pipe is connected to the exhaust port of the associated gas generator set, and the exhaust pipe delivers the power generation exhaust gas to the gas-liquid mixer.

[0011] Furthermore, both the gas-liquid mixer and the liquid-liquid mixer are Venturi tube structures.

[0012] Furthermore, the end inlet of the gas-liquid mixer is connected to the end of the exhaust pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, the throat inlet of the gas-liquid mixer is connected to the outlet of the liquid-liquid mixer.

[0014] Furthermore, the outlet of the gas-liquid mixer is connected to the inlet of the compressor.

[0015] Furthermore, the end inlet of the liquid-liquid mixer is connected to the bottom of the oil well's produced water storage tank via a produced water inlet pipe, and a water pump is installed on the produced water inlet pipe.

[0016] Furthermore, the throat inlet of the liquid-liquid mixer is connected to the bottom of the additive storage tank via an additive inlet pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, the outlet of the compressor is connected to the inlet of the gas-liquid distribution mechanism.

[0018] Furthermore, regulating valves are installed on the ends of the distribution branches near the main distribution pipe.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention, by adopting the above technical solution, has the following advantages:

[0020] The exhaust gas from the power generation enters the gas-liquid mixer. At the same time, the liquid-liquid mixer mixes the additive with the produced water from the oil well and then delivers it to the gas-liquid mixer. The exhaust gas from the power generation, the produced water from the oil well, and the additive are mixed in proportion to form a gas-liquid two-phase flow. The two-phase flow is pressurized to a supercritical state by the compressor and then injected into each injection well through the gas-liquid distribution mechanism.
