Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shale gas, and in particular to a safety pressure relief device for shale gas wellheads. Background Technology
[0002] Because gas wellhead square wells are generally high and natural gas is a flammable and explosive gas, the pressure-bearing capacity and sealing performance requirements for gas wellhead square well equipment are much higher than those for oil wellhead equipment. Furthermore, to ensure the safety of personnel operating the gas tree valves during normal gas wellhead production, the higher gas wellhead square wells are backfilled. After backfilling, only the gas tree portion (large four-way and above) remains at the gas wellhead, along with two tubing pipes equipped with pressure gauges connected to the technical casing and gauge casing respectively to display the technical casing and gauge casing pressures. The technical casing and gauge casing pressures at the wellhead are generally zero. Annular pressure build-up can occur due to gas channeling caused by casing cementing quality issues, gas from cement slurry surging up through micro-fractures to the wellhead, and the impact of downhole temperature and pressure changes on the cement sheath as the gas well's production and extraction time increases. Additionally, casing perforation, breakage, and other factors can also cause pressure build-up in the gauge casing and technical casing, resulting in varying pressure gauge readings. To ensure safe production and prevent excessive pressure on the wellhead casing and gauge casing, manual pressure relief is usually required. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, the oil pipe end cock has a pressure bearing capacity of 70 MPa; the oil pipe end cock is also provided with an oil pipe end cock plug to relieve the pressure of the oil pipe cock and the downstream pipeline.
[0007] Preferably, the metal pressure relief pipeline is made of 316 stainless steel with a pressure bearing capacity of 35 MPa, and is equipped with needle valve one, needle valve two, and needle valve three, which are used to cut off and control the pressure relief speed at the oil pipe end, the sleeve end, and the gauge end, respectively.
[0008] Preferably, it also includes a gas sleeve end check valve to prevent gas from flowing back into the gas sleeve when the pressure in the gas sleeve is too high; and a gauge sleeve end check valve to prevent gas from flowing back into the gauge sleeve when the pressure in the gauge sleeve is too high.
