[0002]在油井生产时,地层水水性复杂,有的具有腐蚀性,有的易结垢,有的原油中含蜡量高管柱易结蜡,通常需从油套环空中加入缓蚀剂、阻垢剂、清防蜡剂等药剂,但原油中含蜡量高凝固点高时,在油套环空容易形成死油环,死油环的存在使药剂无法通过油套环空加至井下,需被迫不定期进行检泵更换油管、抽油杆等作业,成本较高

Benefits of technology

[0015] This invention utilizes annular dosing via large and small tubing. The reagent mixes with the produced fluid from the oil layer through a three-pipe joint and the dosing tubing, then enters the small tubing via the lower tubing, the three-pipe joint, and a sealed insert, and is pumped to the surface by a pump. This solves the problem of reagents not being able to be added downhole in wells with dead oil rings in the annulus. The dosing path is as follows: the reagent enters the upper joint annulus through the annulus between the large and small tubings, and then enters the dosing tubing through radial perforations and a central blind hole channel. The oil discharge path is as follows: after mixing with the produced fluid from the oil layer, the reagent enters the eccentric hole channel through the lower tubing, and then enters the small tubing through a sealed cylinder and an upper sealed insert, and is pumped to the surface by a pump. The same path can also be used to achieve reverse circulation well washing. Since the two channels in the three-pipe joint are independent of each other, and during normal production, due to the forward flow valve structure and the dual-channel structure of the three-pipe joint, the crude oil produced from the formation cannot enter the annulus of the large and small oil pipes through the three-pipe joint, and a dead oil ring will not be formed in the annulus of the large and small oil pipes. This greatly extends the operation of pump inspection, oil pipe replacement, sucker rod replacement, etc., and reduces production costs.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil well production tubing technology, and in particular to an oil well chemical dosing production 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 utility model is to provide a production tubing string for chemical dosing in oil wells. Chemicals are added through the annulus of the large and small tubings. The chemicals are mixed with the produced fluid of the oil layer through the three-pipe joint and the dosing tubing. Then, they enter the small tubing through the lower tubing, the three-pipe joint and the sealing pipe, and are pumped to the surface by the oil pump. This solves the problem that chemicals cannot be added downhole in oil wells with dead oil rings in the annulus of the casing.

[0004] To achieve the objectives of this utility model, a production tubing string for chemical dosing in oil wells is provided, 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 three-way connector installed at the bottom end of the large oil tubing, an upper sealing insert installed at the bottom end of the small oil tubing, a sealing cylinder installed at the top end of the three-way connector, the bottom end of the upper sealing insert being inserted into and sealed to the sealing cylinder, the small oil tubing being connected to the three-way connector through the insertion structure of the upper sealing insert and the sealing cylinder, and a lower oil tubing connected to the bottom end of the three-way connector.

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 upper 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 three-pipe joint.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the three-pipe connector includes an upper connector and a lower connector. The lower connector is sleeved on the bottom end of the upper connector, forming an annular space between the upper and lower connectors. The top end of the upper connector is provided with a first threaded upper interface, and the top end of the lower connector is provided with a second threaded upper interface. The bottom end of the lower connector is provided with a stepped first threaded lower interface and a second threaded lower interface, and the diameter of the second threaded lower interface is smaller than that of the first threaded lower interface.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a production tubing string for chemical dosing in oil wells, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention utilizes annular dosing via large and small tubing. The reagent mixes with the produced fluid from the oil layer through a three-pipe joint and the dosing tubing, then enters the small tubing via the lower tubing, the three-pipe joint, and a sealed insert, and is pumped to the surface by a pump. This solves the problem of reagents not being able to be added downhole in wells with dead oil rings in the annulus. The dosing path is as follows: the reagent enters the upper joint annulus through the annulus between the large and small tubings, and then enters the dosing tubing through radial perforations and a central blind hole channel. The oil discharge path is as follows: after mixing with the produced fluid from the oil layer, the reagent enters the eccentric hole channel through the lower tubing, and then enters the small tubing through a sealed cylinder and an upper sealed insert, and is pumped to the surface by a pump. The same path can also be used to achieve reverse circulation well washing. Since the two channels in the three-pipe joint are independent of each other, and during normal production, due to the forward flow valve structure and the dual-channel structure of the three-pipe joint, the crude oil produced from the formation cannot enter the annulus of the large and small oil pipes through the three-pipe joint, and a dead oil ring will not be formed in the annulus of the large and small oil pipes. This greatly extends the operation of pump inspection, oil pipe replacement, sucker rod replacement, etc., and reduces production costs. Attached Figure Description
