Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the fields of oil and gas exploration and development and petroleum engineering technology, and in particular to an intelligent backpressure reduction device for production pipelines in oil wells. Background Technology

[0002] A certain oilfield is a carbonate rock extra-heavy oil reservoir. The wellbore employs a dilution and viscosity reduction process. As the reservoir development enters the mid-to-late stage, it enters a medium-to-high water-cut phase. This high water-cut phase leads to oil-water separation, and the production pipeline to the heavy oil well is longer than 3 kilometers. The crude oil takes over 20 hours to flow through the surface pipeline before reaching the transfer station. Due to the prolonged residence time of the mixed solution in the pipeline, its fluidity decreases with decreasing temperature, causing increased back pressure at the wellhead and severely restricting normal well production. Currently, pump trucks and brine trucks are used to sweep the pipeline at the wellhead, or the dilution rate is increased to ensure normal well production. This results in significant special vehicle costs and an increased dilution ratio. Statistics show that the monthly cost of pump truck and brine truck sweeping due to high back pressure in this oilfield is 250,000 yuan, and the amount of oil used for dilution is increased by 150 tons. There is an urgent need for a device that can reduce the pressure in the inlet pipeline, avoiding waste of manpower, material resources, and financial resources while ensuring continuous production of heavy oil wells.

[0003] Therefore, there are superior technical solutions in the existing technology, such as the patent with publication number "CN209444321U", which discloses an automatic unattended chemical dosing device for viscosity reduction in heavy oil wells. This technical solution involves setting up a water storage tank that can monitor the liquid level and add water to it in real time according to the liquid level. When the water level is insufficient, it is automatically added, saving labor. However, this existing technology has a drawback: it cannot adjust the drainage volume of the water storage tank in real time, which may lead to water waste.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide an intelligent backpressure reduction device for oil well production pipelines that can solve the above-mentioned drawbacks has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an intelligent backpressure reduction device for oil well production pipelines, as detailed below:

[0006] An intelligent backpressure reduction device for oil well production pipelines includes a storage tank, the outlet of which is connected to the inlet of a fluid delivery pipeline, the outlet of which is connected to an oil delivery pipeline for transporting crude oil, an adjustment unit that matches the fluid delivery pipeline and is capable of adjusting the flow rate of the fluid passing through the fluid delivery pipeline, and a pressure sensor installed on the oil delivery pipeline. The adjustment unit is electrically connected to the pressure sensor.

[0007] Preferably, the adjustment unit includes a diaphragm pump, a PID controller, and a frequency converter that are electrically connected to each other. The diaphragm pump is installed on the infusion line, and the PID controller is electrically connected to the pressure sensor.

[0008] Preferably, the inlet of the storage tank is connected to a liquid supply source through a liquid supply pipeline, the liquid supply pipeline is equipped with a solenoid valve, the storage tank is equipped with a liquid level sensor for monitoring its liquid level, and also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the solenoid valve and the liquid level sensor.

[0010] Preferably, the infusion pipeline is equipped with a one-way valve, the flow direction of which is from the storage tank towards the infusion pipeline.

[0011] Preferably, the liquid storage tank is open.

[0012] The intelligent backpressure reduction device for oil well production pipelines provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] By installing pressure sensors on the oil pipeline, the pressure can be monitored in real time. An adjustment mechanism can be incorporated to adjust the input fluid flow rate based on the monitored pressure, preventing fluid waste. Furthermore, this method eliminates the need for manual operation, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

[0014] As a preferred option, the diaphragm pump uses frequency conversion control, which provides high accuracy in flow and pressure, and can accurately and promptly adjust the flow rate.

[0015] As a preferred option, components such as liquid level sensors are installed to enable automatic monitoring of the liquid level in the storage tank, ensuring a normal liquid supply.

[0016] As a preferred option, a one-way valve is installed to prevent crude oil from entering the storage tank.

[0017] As a preferred option, the water storage tank is open-topped, with a simple structure that maintains internal and external pressure balance at all times, preventing the tank from expanding and rupturing, which could cause brine leakage and environmental pollution. It also facilitates maintenance and cleaning of suspended solids and oil stains in the water storage tank. Attached Figure Description
