Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the treatment of scale buildup inside pipes, specifically to a scale reaction device for oil well surface pipe networks. Background Technology

[0002] After the oilfield pipeline network is connected in series, scale-forming ions in the well fluid easily form inside the pipelines after mixing with the well fluid (such as barium strontium scale). This can cause blockages in individual well pipelines, valve assemblies, elbows, and other parts, not only preventing normal production but also frequently causing pressure buildup and perforation, resulting in significant environmental damage on the surface. Currently, the common method to prevent scale formation is to add barium strontium scale inhibitors into the pipelines, but the effect is unsatisfactory. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a scaling reaction device for oil well surface pipelines. This device can perform targeted scaling and cleaning at specific locations, and it is leak-free and can operate without stopping the well.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is: A scaling reaction device for oil well surface pipelines includes a reaction cylinder and several scaling mechanisms. The reaction cylinder can accommodate several scaling plates along its middle line and has external connection structures at both ends for connecting pipelines. The scaling mechanisms are used to put and take out scaling plates into the reaction cylinder. They are distributed along the reaction cylinder and include a valve on the reaction cylinder, a take-up and put-down cylinder detachably mounted on the valve, a hanging rod that is movably and sealingly passed through the take-up and put-down cylinder, and a scaling plate detachably mounted on the inward end of the hanging rod. When the valve is opened, the hanging rod can drive the scaling plate from the take-up and put-down cylinder through the valve into the reaction cylinder. The scaling plate has scaling holes distributed on it. The hanging rod and the take-up and put-down cylinder are provided with a sealing and locking structure. When the hanging rod drives the scaling plate into the reaction cylinder and reaches the desired position, the sealing and locking structure can seal and lock the hanging rod and the take-up and put-down cylinder.

[0005] Preferably, the scaling mechanisms are arranged at an angle to each other along the reaction cylinder.

[0006] Preferably, the scaling mechanism is arranged at a 45-degree angle on the upper part of the reaction cylinder, and two adjacent scaling mechanisms are located on the upper sides of the reaction cylinder, respectively.

[0007] Preferably, the scaling plate has multiple layers of spaced plates, with each layer having a different diameter of scaling pores.

[0008] Preferably, the scaling plate is provided on the inward end of the hanging rod via an adapter, and the scaling plate is provided with a hanging head. One end of the adapter is connected to the hanging head via a pin, and the other end is threadedly connected to the inward end of the hanging rod.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the reaction vessel is provided with a coating to prevent scaling.

[0010] Preferably, the sealing and locking structure includes an internal thread on the pick-up and drop-out cylinder and an external thread on the hanging rod.

[0011] Preferably, the pick-and-place cylinder is provided with multiple sealing grooves and sealing rings, and the hanging rod passes through the pick-and-place cylinder through multiple sealing rings.

[0012] Preferably, the take-up and put-down cylinder is detachably mounted on the valve via threads.

[0013] Preferably, the external structure is a flange.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This device can perform targeted scaling and cleaning without leakage or well interruption during operation. In use, the reaction cylinder is connected to the pipeline as part of the oil well's surface network. All scaling mechanisms are installed, arranging the scaling plates along the line inside the reaction cylinder. The hanging rod and the pick-and-place cylinder are sealed and locked. When the well fluid passes through the reaction cylinder, it will not leak. Simultaneously, it is subjected to the shearing action of numerous scaling pores on the scaling plates, altering the flow velocity and flow pattern. Therefore, scaling ions from the well fluid inside the reaction cylinder are more easily precipitated and adhere to the scaling plates. After a certain period of use, a large amount of scale will accumulate on the scaling plates. To replace or clean the scaling plates, without stopping the well, first release the locking of the hanging rod and the pick-and-place cylinder. Then, the hanging rod carries the scaling plates from the reaction cylinder through the valve into the pick-and-place cylinder. During this process, due to the movable seal between the hanging rod and the pick-and-place cylinder, there will be no leakage. Then, close the valve, remove the pick-and-place cylinder, and remove the scaling plates for replacement or cleaning. Afterward, the replaced or cleaned scaling plates can be reinstalled.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] The features and performance of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a scaling reaction device for oil well surface pipelines, which includes a reaction cylinder 1 and several scaling mechanisms. Each scaling mechanism includes a valve 2, a loading / unloading cylinder 3, a hanging rod 4, and scaling plates 5. The reaction cylinder 1 has a central section capable of accommodating several scaling plates 5, and external connection structures 11 for connecting pipelines are provided at both ends. The scaling mechanisms are used to insert and remove the scaling plates 5 into the reaction cylinder 1. The scaling mechanisms are distributed along the reaction cylinder 1. Figure 1 Valve 2 is located on reaction cylinder 1. A pick-and-place cylinder 3 is detachably mounted on valve 2. A hanging rod 4 passes through the pick-and-place cylinder 3 in a movable and sealed manner. A scale-forming plate 5 is detachably mounted on the inward-facing end of the hanging rod 4. When valve 2 is opened, the hanging rod 4 can drive the scale-forming plate 5 from the pick-and-place cylinder 3 through valve 2 into reaction cylinder 1. The scale-forming plate 5 has scale-forming holes 53 distributed on it. A sealing and locking structure is provided on the hanging rod 4 and the pick-and-place cylinder 3. When the hanging rod 4 drives the scale-forming plate 5 into the reaction cylinder 1, the sealing and locking structure can seal and lock the hanging rod 4 and the pick-and-place cylinder 3. (See...) Figures 1 to 4 .

[0026] This device can perform targeted scaling and cleaning, and it operates without leakage or well interruption. In use, the reaction cylinder 1 is connected to the pipeline as part of the oil well surface pipeline network, and each scaling mechanism is installed in place, so that each scaling plate 5 is arranged along the line inside the reaction cylinder 1, and the hanging rod 4 and the pick-and-place cylinder 3 are sealed and locked. When the well fluid passes through the reaction cylinder 1, it will not leak, and at the same time, it will be subjected to the shearing action of the numerous scaling holes 53 on the multiple scaling plates 5, which changes the flow velocity and flow state. Therefore, the scaling ions of the well fluid in the reaction cylinder 1 are more likely to precipitate and adhere to the scaling plates 5. After a certain period of use, a large amount of scaling will be attached to the scaling plates 5. If the scaling plates 5 need to be replaced or cleaned, without stopping the well, first release the locking of the hanging rod 4 and the pick-and-place cylinder 3, and then drive the hanging rod 4 to move the scaling plate 5 from the reaction cylinder 1 into the pick-and-place cylinder 3 through the valve 2. During this process, because the hanging rod 4 and the pick-and-place cylinder 3 are in a movable seal, there will be no leakage. Then close the valve 2, remove the pick-and-place cylinder 3, and remove the scaling plate 5 for replacement or cleaning. After that, the replaced or cleaned scaling plate 5 can be reinstalled.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, each scaling mechanism is arranged at an angle along the line of the reaction cylinder 1, and the scaling plates 5 arranged at an angle inside the reaction cylinder 1 can make the liquid flow in the reaction cylinder turbulent, making it easier to form scale; and the scaling mechanism is arranged at a 45-degree angle on the upper part of the reaction cylinder 1, with two adjacent scaling mechanisms located on the upper sides of the reaction cylinder 1 respectively.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the external structure 11 is a flange.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the pick-and-place cylinder 3 is provided with multiple sealing grooves 32 and sealing rings, and the hanging rod 4 passes through the pick-and-place cylinder 3 through multiple sealing rings to achieve dynamic sealing.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the take-up and put-down cylinder 3 is detachably mounted on the valve 2 via the external thread 31.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the sealing and locking structure includes an internal thread 33 on the pick-up and put-out cylinder 3 and an external thread 42 on the hanging rod 4. Through the threaded connection, static sealing is achieved while locking.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the scaling plate 5 has multiple layers of spaced plates 52, and the diameter of the scaling holes 53 on each layer of plate 52 is different. The different diameter of the scaling holes 53 on each layer can change the liquid flow rate, making it easier for scaling ions to precipitate.

[0033] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, preferably: the scale plate 5 is provided on the inward end of the hanging rod 4 through the adapter 6, the scale plate 5 is provided with the hanging head 51, the ear plate 62 at one end of the adapter 6 is connected to the hanging head 51 through the pin, and the external thread 61 at the other end is connected to the internal thread 41 at the inward end of the hanging rod 4.

[0034] In this embodiment, preferably, the inner wall of the reaction cylinder 1 is provided with a coating to prevent scaling, thereby avoiding scaling on the inner wall of the reaction cylinder 1.

[0035] The embodiments described above are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this application. The detailed description of the embodiments of this application is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
