Abstract
Description
An oil and gas well liquid-accumulation-free production and discharge system TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of oil and gas exploitation equipment, and particularly relates to an oil and gas well liquid-accumulation-free production and discharge system. BACKGROUND
[0002] An oil and gas well usually has a casing arranged in the well, and a production string formed by connecting a plurality of oil and gas pipes (also referred to as oil pipes in the industry) end to end is arranged in the casing. In use, the gas-liquid mixture at the bottom of the oil and gas well is usually sprayed upward to the ground through the production string under the action of pressure difference, so as to realize the exploitation of oil and gas. However, in the process of oil and gas exploitation, as the exploitation time is prolonged, the formation pressure is gradually reduced, and the water content of crude oil is gradually increased, which leads to the decrease of the pressure difference between the liquid column and the formation, and thus the slippage of the liquid column becomes more and more serious, eventually causing the oil and gas well to stop flowing, which seriously affects the output of the oil and gas well.
[0003] To solve this problem, the commonly used methods at present are to reduce the density of the gas-liquid mixture by gas lifting and foam discharge, to use an electric submersible pump, to use a plunger to discharge and lift the liquid column, and to use a small string method to increase the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture. However, these methods have great limitations for the exploitation of natural gas. For example, the gas lifting technology injects gas into the casing and into the oil and gas pipe to reduce the density of the liquid. When natural gas is exploited, the oil and gas pipe is mainly filled with gas, and the pressure difference is very small. The opening and closing of the gas lifting valve are controlled by the pressure difference, which seriously affects the opening and closing of the gas lifting valve. Therefore, the gas lifting technology is only suitable for the exploitation of crude oil (the density of crude oil is large, and the pressure difference between the upper and lower oil and gas pipes is large), but not suitable for the exploitation of natural gas. In addition, the gas supply hole of the gas lifting valve is usually a straight-through hole, and the gas introduced into the oil and gas pipe can only reduce the density of the gas-liquid mixture in the oil and gas pipe, but cannot increase the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture. Therefore, the effect of avoiding slippage is also general. Furthermore, a one-way valve is arranged in the oil and gas pipe to prevent the liquid column from slipping, but this method occupies the central passage of the production string, so that other downhole tools cannot be installed, and various parameters such as temperature and pressure cannot be detected.
[0004] Therefore, how to increase the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture in the oil and gas well and improve the gas liquid-carrying capacity of the oil and gas well without occupying the central passage of the production string is crucial for improving the exploitation rate of the oil and gas well, especially the natural gas exploitation rate of the gas well.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] The present disclosure is provided with a jet hole rotating block in the gas supply passage communicating the inside and the outside of the production pipe column. During the process of passing through the jet hole rotating block, the gas can form a Laval effect, accelerate the gas flow entering the gas supply passage, and make the gas flow be sprayed at a high speed into the inside of the production pipe column, so as to form a negative pressure area near the jet hole A of the production pipe column, and improve the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture in the production pipe column. Compared with the prior art, not only is the gas-liquid mixture in the production pipe column diluted and atomized by the gas, and the density of the gas-liquid mixture is reduced, but also the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture in the production pipe column is improved, and the slip problem of the gas-liquid mixture is further avoided.
[0030] The present disclosure is provided with an eccentric gas supply passage communicating the inside of the production pipe column and the annular space gap. When the gas is sprayed into the production pipe column, the gas can move upward in a spiral manner. Compared with the vertical upward movement in the prior art, the Bernoulli principle of the supplied gas can be used to form a supporting force on the original gas-liquid mixture in the production pipe column, and the slip of the gas-liquid mixture is further avoided.
[0031] 3. When natural gas rises within the production tubing, the gas-liquid mixture experiences friction against the inner wall of the tubing, causing its velocity to gradually decrease. The frictional resistance of the production tubing is transmitted from the periphery to the center of the tubing due to the viscosity of the gas-liquid mixture. Therefore, the velocity of the gas-liquid mixture decreases rapidly near the inner wall of the tubing, while it decreases slowly at the center. This causes liquid to fall along the inner wall of the tubing, potentially leading to water flooding of the gas well. To address this issue, this disclosure adds an anti-slip device at regular intervals. The liquid accumulator is designed by installing a liquid receiving groove and a guide plate on the inner wall of the pipe. A gas branch channel is installed on the inner wall of the pipe that passes through the liquid receiving groove. The guide plate guides the liquid falling along the pipe wall to the liquid receiving groove, preventing it from sliding to the bottom of the well. As the oil and gas rise along the central gas channel, some of the gas is diverted by the gas branch channel, so that it carries the liquid in the liquid receiving groove out as it passes through the liquid receiving groove and continues to rise along the production tubing. This avoids the problem of liquid overflow and continued sliding after overflow caused by the increasing amount of liquid accumulating in the liquid receiving groove. Furthermore, when natural gas is ejected from the gas branch pipeline, the upward airflow can exert an upward force on the liquid on the pipe wall, further preventing the liquid from sliding down the pipe wall. In summary, this disclosure, by using the annular liquid receiving groove, the guide plate, and the branch gas channel in combination, greatly improves the liquid-carrying capacity of natural gas and avoids the problem of water flooding in gas wells caused by liquid sliding down. Compared with the gas lift technology for oil and gas wells, it can be applied not only to oil wells but also to gas wells, and it does not require additional energy. It can improve the liquid-carrying capacity of natural gas by utilizing the energy of the producing formation itself. It has wider applicability and lower cost.
[0032] In summary, this disclosure improves upon the structure of the anti-slip injection port to increase the flow velocity of the gas-liquid mixture within the production tubing. Furthermore, it adds an anti-slip liquid accumulator to the production tubing, which fully utilizes the formation pressure without obstructing the central channel of the production tubing, thereby enhancing the gas-liquid carrying capacity of the oil and gas well and achieving a liquid-free effect, thus improving oil and gas recovery. This disclosure can be applied not only to oil wells but also to gas wells, solving the problem of liquid slippage during oil and gas well production, as well as the problems of water flooding and low natural gas recovery rates caused by decreased liquid carrying capacity in gas wells.

[0048] In the present disclosure, the explanation of the term "free liquid accumulation": slippage refers to the phenomenon that in gas-liquid two-phase pipe flow, due to the density difference between gas and liquid, the gas flows beyond the liquid; due to the existence of slippage, the gas phase in the wellbore of the oil and gas well is not enough to carry the liquid phase, resulting in the liquid phase falling back to the bottom of the well, accumulating step by step, and forming liquid accumulation; free liquid accumulation is to hinder the formation of liquid accumulation and avoid the influence of liquid accumulation in the production string on the production of oil and gas wells, which is called free liquid accumulation.

[0080] Method and principle of use of the present disclosure:
[0081] During the production of the oil and gas well, the gas-liquid mixture in the gas main passage 2 on the production string 33 is ejected upward along the production string 33 under the action of the pressure difference. As the oil and gas production time is prolonged, the pressure difference decreases, and the gas-liquid mixture in the inner wall region of the production string 33 decreases faster than in the central region under the action of the friction of the inner wall of the production string 33, which causes the liquid in the inner wall of the production string 33 to slide down along the wall. During the sliding process, when the liquid slides down to the anti-slip accumulator 35, it will drip into the annular liquid receiving groove 3 along the annular flow guide plate 4, and the gas-liquid mixture running upward along the gas main passage will have some gas entering the gas branch passage when passing through the gas inlet 8. The gas blowing out of the gas branch passage will blow out the liquid received in the annular liquid receiving groove 3 and carry it into the gas main passage 2 again, thereby avoiding the sliding of the liquid at the wall and improving the liquid carrying capacity. In addition, when the gas blows out of the gas branch passage, it also forms a supporting force on the liquid at the wall and blocks the channel for the liquid in the inner wall of the production string 33 to slide down, thereby avoiding the continuous sliding of the liquid.
[0082] In addition, during the production of oil and gas wells with low pressure and production, high-pressure gas can also be introduced into the annular space gap 34. When the high-pressure gas enters the inside of the production string 33 through the anti-slip gas injection device 36, the setting of the jet flow hole A23 on the structure of the anti-slip gas injection hole can accelerate the gas and increase the flow speed of the gas-liquid mixture in the production string 33, thereby avoiding the sliding of the gas-liquid mixture. In addition, when the gas supply passage 21 is eccentrically arranged, the gas entering the production string 33 from the annular space gap 34 will run upward in a spiral manner, forming a supporting force on the gas-liquid mixture in the production string 33, thereby further avoiding the sliding of the gas-liquid mixture.
[0083] In summary, the anti-slip gas injection hole structure is improved in one aspect of the present disclosure, which can improve the flow speed of the gas-liquid mixture in the production string 33. On the other hand, the anti-slip accumulator 35 is added to the production string 33, which can reduce the liquid slip without occupying the central passage of the production string 33, improve the gas liquid carrying capacity of the oil and gas well, fully utilize the formation pressure, and improve the oil and gas recovery. The present disclosure can not only be applied to oil wells, but also to gas wells, solving the problem of liquid slip in the production process of oil and gas wells, and the problem of gas flooding and low natural gas recovery rate caused by the decrease of gas liquid carrying capacity.

[0085] Due to the difference in the content of each operation section before and after construction, the time difference is large, and the liquid discharge change cannot be compared and analyzed one by one. Therefore, the gas lift liquid discharge change and the hourly liquid discharge of the traditional gas lift induced flow and the gas lift induced flow of the present disclosure are compared in the induced flow stage of the natural gas flowing well (Figure 10), and the gas production data of the stable production using the present disclosure is recorded after the well is connected (Figure 11), and the results are as follows:
[0086] 1. First gas lift induced flow (traditional gas lift induced flow before the production string of the present disclosure is lowered): 3 hours of open flow before gas lift, 4 hours of gas lift, 46 hours of open flow after stopping lift, and 53 hours of shut-in, with a maximum casing pressure of 20.8 MPa, a minimum of 2.1 MPa, a cumulative liquid discharge of 61.5 m³, a maximum hourly liquid discharge of 8.4 m³, and an average hourly liquid discharge of about 1.16 m³;
[0087] 2. Second gas lift induced flow (using the production string of the present disclosure): replacing the production string 33 in the traditional gas lift technology with the production string 33 of the present disclosure, i.e. the present disclosure technology, gas lift for 26 hours, 29 hours of open flow after stopping lift, and 55 hours of shut-in, with a cumulative liquid discharge of 129.8 m³, a maximum hourly liquid discharge of 8.1 m³, and an average hourly liquid discharge of about 2.36 m³.
[0088] From the above results, it can be seen that:
[0089] 1. After the gas lift well is modified according to the present disclosure, the average hourly liquid discharge is more than twice the average hourly liquid discharge before modification, even though the time used for gas lift is longer than before modification.
[0090] 2. In the traditional gas lift technology, the maximum pressure of the gas lift operation is 20.8 MPa, while after applying the present disclosure, the maximum gas lift pressure is only 13.58 MPa, which shows that the gas lift pressure required by the present disclosure is lower than that of the traditional gas lift technology, and the pressure required for the subsequent well start-up is lower.
[0091] 3、From Figure 10, it can be seen that when the first gas lift induced flow is conducted, the pressure of the gas lift through pipe foot casing 32 drops suddenly, and the casing 32 pressure is 5.9 MPa when the pump is stopped, thereby causing the casing 32 pressure to be insufficient when the flow is released, and when the present disclosure is used, when the pressure reaches a maximum of 13.58 MPa, a slow decline phenomenon occurs, and after the gas lift is stopped, the casing pressure is 13.05 MPa and still maintains a slow decline in pressure, and thus it can be proved that the present disclosure can fully utilize the pressure stored in the casing 32 during gas lift to ensure stable production.
[0092] 4、Figure 11 is the production situation 12 days after the intersection, which is divided into four stages from left to right: the first stage is the blue area, which is the first time to open the well after the intersection for 20 hours, and the water content is relatively large from the production temperature. The second stage is the black area, and the production situation in this area is shut-in. The third stage is the red area, and the production fluctuation in this stage is relatively large, and a large amount of gas-liquid is intermittently discharged. It is judged that the kill fluid entering the bottom layer is being produced. (After the gas lift is completed, the remaining fracturing fluid and kill fluid in the well are 201 m³); the fourth stage is the green area, and after a large amount of liquid in the well is produced, the production tends to be stable, and stable production of gas-liquid mixture begins.

Any obvious modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles and spirit of the present disclosure should be considered to be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present disclosure.
