Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cementing equipment for ultra-deep and complex formation wells requires high power, large displacement, and continuous operation, leading to complex setups, high maintenance, and increased operational costs due to large space occupation and complex pipeline connections.
Innovation Solution
A new ultra-high power cementing apparatus integrated with remote control, featuring a plunger pump with a rated input power of at least 1200 horsepower, a remote control system, and a modular design that includes a hydraulic system, power and transmission system, mixing system, and lubrication systems, allowing for efficient operation and reduced operator involvement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If multiple cementing equipment with double-machine and double-pump are used to meet high pressure and large displacement requirements, then the pressure and displacement requirements are satisfied, but the occupied area increases, pipeline connection becomes complex, maintenance frequency increases, operator number increases, and single operation cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple cementing functions into a single integrated cementing vehicle equipped with a high-power plunger pump (≥1200 horsepower). This merging approach consolidates what previously required multiple separate machines and double-pump configurations into one unified system, thereby reducing occupied area, simplifying pipeline connections, and decreasing the number of operators needed while maintaining the required high pressure and large displacement capabilities
2Power
If multiple cementing equipment with double-machine and double-pump are used to meet high pressure and large displacement requirements, then the pressure and displacement requirements are satisfied, but the occupied area increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent consolidates multiple cementing machines into a single cementing vehicle with integrated high-power plunger pump system. This merging of functions into one compact unit significantly reduces the occupied area at the well site compared to the previous configuration requiring multiple separate machines and double-pump setups
3Power
If multiple cementing equipment with double-machine and double-pump are used to meet high pressure and large displacement requirements, then the pressure and displacement requirements are satisfied, but the maintenance frequency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the power transmission system with the plunger pump drive mechanism, combining multiple functional components into a unified system. This integration reduces the number of separate machines and mechanical connections that require maintenance, thereby decreasing maintenance frequency compared to the previous double-machine and double-pump configuration
4Power
If multiple cementing equipment with double-machine and double-pump are used to meet high pressure and large displacement requirements, then the pressure and displacement requirements are satisfied, but the operator number increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent consolidates multiple cementing operations into a single integrated vehicle with automated control systems. This merging reduces the number of operators required to manage multiple separate machines, as the unified system with centralized control can be operated by fewer personnel while still achieving the required high pressure and large displacement cementing operations
