Description

Technical Field

[0002] The shale gas well's production tree is located in a square well measuring 4 meters long, 4 meters wide, and 3 meters deep. Because each well has a different height, and many high-pressure valves are located below the grid panel in the square well, various operations require workers to descend into the well to rewind processes and operate the high-pressure valves. However, working in the lower well is a confined space operation, requiring ventilation and testing before construction can proceed. Many wells have vent valves #3 and #6, and production valves #2 and #5, located approximately 500mm below the grid panel in the square well. Some operations require frequent opening and closing of these valves. If all operations were conducted as confined space work, it would be time-consuming, lead to delays, and compromise the safety of the work. Utility Model Content

[0025] Example: Please refer to Figure 1 (Refer to) Figures 2 to 4 This application provides a platform frame for operating shale gas square wells, which mainly includes two detachable and assembleable support frames. When it is necessary to go down into the well to carry out the construction operation of high-pressure valves, the two support frames are disassembled and lowered into the well respectively. They are then assembled together at a suitable position in the well using multiple bolts to carry out the construction operation. Specifically, each support frame includes multiple support legs 1, a platform bracket 2, a steel mesh platform 3, and a guardrail 4. The platform bracket 2 is installed on the multiple support legs 1. The steel mesh platform 3 is installed in the frame-shaped cavity of the platform bracket 2, which serves as the working surface for construction workers. The guardrail 4 is installed on the side wall of the platform bracket 2. The guardrail 4 in the two support frames, together with the steel mesh platform 3, forms a construction working cavity. The uppermost part of the guardrail 4 supports the lower edge of the square well plane grid pedal. The top of the construction working cavity is open, and one side has an operating port for operating the high-pressure valves of the shale gas square well. This operating port is formed by the guardrail 4 welded on three sides of the platform bracket 2, and it faces the gas production tree vent valves 3 and 6 and production valves 2 and 5. This operating port is used by construction workers to perform construction operations on the high-pressure valves, etc.

[0026] Furthermore, four support legs 1 are used, and they are respectively installed on the four corners of the bottom of the platform support 2 to support the platform support 2. Multiple bolt holes are opened on adjacent support legs 1 of both support frames, and the bolt holes are spaced apart along the height direction of the support legs 1, allowing the two support frames to be spliced ​​together by bolts. At the same time, a support plate 5 is welded to the bottom of the support leg 1, located at the bottom of the shale gas well, which makes the entire device more stable during construction operations and improves the safety of construction personnel. Furthermore, adjacent support legs 1 are connected by reinforcing braces 10 arranged in parallel from bottom to top, with both ends of the reinforcing braces 10 welded between the adjacent support legs 1.

[0027] It should be noted that its platform support 2 has a rectangular frame structure.

[0028] Furthermore, the guardrail 4 includes a first guardrail frame 6 and a second guardrail frame 7; the first guardrail frame 6 is vertically installed on one side wall of the platform support 2; the second guardrail frame 7 is vertically installed on one side wall of the platform support 2 and is perpendicularly connected to the first guardrail frame 6; a first steel mesh 8 is installed in the inner cavity of the first guardrail frame 6, and a second steel mesh 9 is installed in the inner cavity of the second guardrail frame 7. Additionally, multiple bolt holes are provided on the outer side wall of the second guardrail frame 7 for splicing the two support frames together.

[0029] It should be noted that the bolt holes are spaced apart along the height direction of the outer side wall of the second guardrail frame 7.

[0030] During operation, the pre-opened grid pedals at the top of vent valves No. 3 and 6 and production valves No. 2 and 5 are opened, and the construction workers can directly enter the platform frame for operating the shale gas square well to operate the valves.

[0031] In summary, this device, by setting up support legs 1, platform brackets 2, steel mesh platform 3, and guardrails 4, allows construction workers to directly access the operating ports on the shale gas well platform frame to operate these high-pressure valves by opening the pre-opened grid pedals at the top of vent valves 3 and 6 and production valves 2 and 5. Since the upper body of the construction workers is on platform bracket 2, which is not a confined space for work, it can quickly and effectively solve relevant construction safety issues, thereby effectively improving production efficiency, achieving the goal of safe construction, saving time and effort, and providing convenience and speed.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art.
