Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petroleum development technology, specifically a double gate valve for thermal oil extraction. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, thermal recovery is the dominant technology in heavy oil development. When using steam injection or steam drive, a steam injection wellhead needs to be installed on the injection well. Each steam injection wellhead device includes six gate valves, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the valves are production valve A, steam injection valve B, vent valve C, test valve D, left-side casing valve E, and right-side casing valve F. Each valve operates on the same principle. They are used for the passage and shut-off of high-temperature, high-pressure steam. During field applications, various thermal recovery gate valves may experience seal failures such as: gate valve cover flange seal failure; valve seat gate and valve stem packing gland seal failure; valve seat gate metal seal failure; gate and valve stem connection failure; and valve stem breakage. If production valve A experiences a seal failure or leakage at the connection between the production valve and the upper flange, it will inevitably lead to uncontrollable well pressure, causing serious well control safety issues, environmental pollution, economic losses, and even endangering personal safety.
[0003] Announcement No.: CN222315982U discloses a flat gate valve with a connecting sealing structure, including a valve body, a valve chamber provided on the inner wall of the valve body, the valve chamber including an open flow groove and a closed flow groove, the open flow groove being located above the closed flow groove, a flat gate being slidably connected in the valve chamber, and flow guide ports being formed on both sides of the valve chamber, a sealing ring being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flow guide port, the outer wall of the sealing ring being bonded to the inner wall of the flow guide port.
[0004] The existing technology is a single gate valve, which can cause serious well control safety issues if it fails.
[0005] Publication No. CN104005726A discloses an oil wellhead device capable of safely replacing leaking valves, consisting of a tubing head section and a Christmas tree section. The tubing head has two-wing flat gate valves, designated as valves 2, 3, 5, and 6. In operation, a single wing is typically used. Each wing has two flat valves; closing either valve shuts off the flow. If any of the other flat valves leaks, shutting off the flow allows for safe replacement of the leaking valve. The Christmas tree has main flat gate valves designated as valves 1, 4, and 7, and two-wing flat gate valves designated as valves 8 and 9. Adjustable flow valves on both wings are used to regulate the flow rate in the flow channels.
[0006] The existing technology uses a large number of gate valves, resulting in high costs and a large space requirement.
[0007] Announcement No. CN112302553B discloses an operation method for replacing a casing gate valve at a gas injection wellhead under pressure, comprising the following steps: selecting the gas injection wellhead to which the casing gate valve to be replaced as the target well; selecting the target casing gate valve at the wellhead of the target well; connecting the pressure-replacing gate valve device to the target casing gate valve; removing the target casing gate valve and replacing it with a new casing gate valve; and disengaging the pressure-replacing gate valve device to complete the replacement of the target casing gate valve.
[0008] The existing technology uses a large number of gate valves in the wellhead, resulting in high costs and a large space requirement.

[0062] Example 2:
[0063] Based on Example 1, Figure 3 The production valve A and lower flange at the steam injection wellhead shown are replaced with the aforementioned double-gate valve and matching threaded lower flange.

[0064] The double gate valve underwent strength testing by a third party with Sinopec's Class A well control qualification. The pressure was 52.5 MPa, pressurized twice, and stabilized for 3 minutes, with a pressure drop of less than 5%. The sealing pressure test was conducted at 35 MPa, with the valve pressurized twice and stabilized for 3 minutes, with a pressure drop of less than 5%, which met the requirements.

No well control or safety risks were found during the exercise, achieving the expected design effect. This fully guarantees the rapid handling of damage and leaks during steam injection, ensuring safe production for the unit.
