Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of exploitation of an oil and natural gas wellbore by mean of gas lift liquid drainage using an energy of its own or an injected gas, and more specifically, relates to a multi-plunger coordinated gas lift liquid drainage system and liquid drainage method thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

After an oil and natural gas well is put into production, liquids will gradually accumulate in the wellbore over time, the production begin to be affected by the fluid. It is necessary to take reasonable process technology to remove the fluid in the wellbore timely, so as to maintain the normal and stable production of the oil and natural gas well.

A conventional plunger gas lift is one of the conventional liquid drainage process technologies commonly used for oil and natural gas wells, which has the advantage of being capable of discharging liquid by its own energy, without the help of external energy, and the disadvantage that the discharge amount of the liquid is small and it requires a high gas-liquid ratio.

In a conventional plunger gas lift process, the plunger acting as a seal for the tubing string is put into a tubing string of an oil and gas well, a large section of gas column under the plunger lifts the plunger and a large section of liquid column on the plunger from the bottom hole to the wellhead, the combined length of the liquid column and the gas column is equal to the length of the tubing string, the pressure borne by the gas column under the plunger is the combined pressure of the wellhead oil pressure and the liquid column pressure, and the gas column cannot expand sufficiently, therefore it requires a high gas-liquid ratio. However a multi-plunger cooperated gas lift is to place a plurality of plungers in the tubing string, and the plurality of plungers divide the large section liquid column lifted by one plunger in the conventional gas lift and the large section gas column below the one plunger into multiple sections of liquid columns and gas columns, namely: a first-stage consisting of a liquid column, a first-stage plunger and a gas column; a second-stage consisting of a liquid column, a second-stage plunger and a gas column; and a third-stage consisting of a liquid column, a three-stage plunger and a gas column, and so on. The multiple stages in the tubing string are connected in series, and move upward simultaneously. The combined length of the liquid columns and the gas columns of the multiple stages is equal to the length of the tubing string, and the specific number of the stages required is determined according to the well conditions. Obviously, because the liquid column pressure borne by a gas column of an upper stage is much less than that of the large section liquid column, the volume of the gas column will expand and the length of the tubing string section it occupies will increase, the volume (length) of the gas column in an upper stage is greater than that of a lower stage. Comparing with a conventional plunger gas lift under the condition that the total length of the liquid column or columns is the same, the mass of gas required in the multi-plunger gas lift to occupy the same remaining tubing space (length) is much smaller. That is, with each small section of the liquid columns being discharged out of the wellhead, the liquid column pressure formed by the discharged small section disappears, so that the volume of all the small gas columns below the discharged liquid columns will expand therewith, the multi-plunger cooperated gas lift allows the gas to expand sufficiently, the gas expansion energy can be fully utilized, and the required gas-to-liquid ratio is reduced. Under circumstance of a certain gas amount, the multi-plunger cooperated gas lift can discharge more liquid, or under the circumstance of a certain liquid discharge amount, the gas amount required by the multi-plunger cooperated gas lift is greatly reduced. The gas-liquid ratio required by the multi-plunger cooperated gas lift is small, and the liquid discharge amount is big.

The wall of the cavity 21 is further provided with a plurality of screen apertures 211.

The lower wall of the cavity 21 is provided with a valve stem hole 212.

As shown in FIGS. 4-5.

The liquid drainage method of the multi-plunger cooperated gas lift liquid drainage system provided by this embodiment comprises the following steps:

• • within the tubing string 1, liquid is accumulating at the bottom of the tubing string 1. when the liquid drainage system is in operation, the gas and the accumulated liquid, both at the bottom of the tubing string 1, are divided into multiple sections by the plurality of plungers 2, the plunger 2 plays a role in sealing both the gas and the liquid to prevent the gas from flowing upward and the liquid from falling back, and then the plungers 2 and the liquid column on the plungers 2 are pushed upward by gas lift.

First, mount the tubing stop 11 on the bottom of the tubing string 1; open the well to a production flow for allowing liquid and gas continuously to accumulate at the bottom of the tubing string 1, and then drop a first plunger 2a with a first valve spool 22a in an open position, which is the lowest plunger 2, into the tubing string 1; wherein when the first plunger 2a falls into the accumulated liquid thereunder, the accumulated liquid flow upward to an upper position above the first plunger 2a through the screen apertures 211, valve seat hole 202 and through hole 201 of the first plunger 2a, and the first plunger 2a continues to pass through the accumulated liquid until it collides with the tubing stop 11, and then the first valve spool 22a is closed (changing from the open position to the closed position), the first plunger 2a get an sealing function, so that the gas continuously generated at the bottom of the tubing string 1 pushes the first plunger 2a and the liquid column on the first plunger 2a upward.

When the first plunger 2a rises to a first certain height, drop a second plunger 2a with a second valve spool 22a in the open position into the tubing string 1. Wherein the second plunger 2b passes through a gas column and the liquid column pushed by the first plunger 2a until it collides with the first plunger 2a. Because its weight is light, the second valve stem 23 is pushed in the opposite direction, i.e. up, by the first plunger 21, until a second valve spool 22b connected with the second valve stem 23 buckles into the valve seat hole 202 located in the valve body 20 of the second plunger 2b, and then the second valve spool 22b of the second plunger 2b is closed, and at this time, the second plunger 2b gets a sealing function, the second plunger 2b abuts against the first valve spool 22a of the first plunger 2a under the effect of inertia to open the first valve spool 221. The first plunger 21 with the first valve spool 221 opened loses the sealing function, the gas produced at the bottom of the tubing string 1 flows to a position below the second plunger 2 through the screen apertures 211, valve seat hole 202 and through hole 201 of the first plunger 2a, and pushes the second plunger 2b and the liquid column thereon to move upward, the second plunger 2b and the first plunger 2a complete the load transfer, meanwhile, the first plunger 2a falls down under the effect of gravity, then the first plunger 2a collides with the tubing stop 11 to close the first valve spool 22a. Under the gas lift, the first plunger 2a will pushes the liquid column in tubing string 1 upward again. At this time, two small-section liquid columns in the tubing string 1 is pushed upward by two gas columns because of the sealing function of the two plungers.

• • when the second plunger 2b rises to a second certain height, drop a third plunger 2c with a third valve spool 22c in the open position into the tubing string 1. In the same way, the third plunger 2c meets the second plunger 2b to transfer the liquid load, then the third valve spool 22c of the third plunger 2c is closed and the third plunger 2c reverses to push the liquid column thereon upward, the second valve 22b of second plunger 2b opens and the second plunger 2c reverses to move downward, and then the second plunger 2b meets the rising first plunger 2a again to transfer the liquid load, the second valve spool 22b of the second plunger 2b closes and the second plunger 2b reverses and pushes the liquid column above it upward, meanwhile, the first valve 22a of the first plunger 2a opens and the first plunger 2a reverses to move downward until it collides with the tubing stop 11 to close the first valve 22a, then the liquid column will again be pushed upward by the gas, at this time, three small-section liquid columns are formed in the tubing string 1 and pushed upward by three gas columns depending on the sealing effect of three plungers 2.

Each time when a previous plunger 2 rises to a certain height, drop a next plunger 2 into the tubing string 1, liquid loads are sequentially transferred between the plungers 2, so that multiple sections of liquid columns and gas columns are formed in the tubing string 1 and move upward simultaneously. The number of the plungers required is determined according to the actual situation.

Install a wellhead poke rod 10 at the wellhead of the tubing string 1. after the liquid column on the uppermost plunger 2 reaches the wellhead and is discharged out of the wellhead, the valve spool 22 of the uppermost plunger 2 is opened by the wellhead poke rod 10 installed at the wellhead, the center hole of the uppermost plunger 2 is unblocked and no longer has a sealing effect, and the uppermost plunger 2 reverse to move downward under the action of gravity, and at the moment, the liquid columns, the plungers 2 and the gas columns below the uppermost plunger 2 continue to move upward.

The uppermost plunger 2 falls down until it collides with a plunger thereunder and transfer an liquid load, the plunger 2 below the uppermost plunger 2 again moves upward and transfer an liquid load with a plunger 2 thereunder, by analogy, the plungers 2 in the tubing string 1 begin another round of liquid load transfer, the plungers 2 transfer liquid loads with each other continuously, therefore, the system runs reciprocating cycle, the plurality of plungers move up and down cooperatively in the tubing string 1 to transfer liquid loads, the liquid columns are discharged step by step.

After the installation is completed, the system can continuously run in the well for a long time.

According to the multi-plunger cooperated gas lift liquid drainage system and liquid drainage method provided by this disclosure, the liquid drainage system circularly runs in a reciprocating manner, a plurality of plungers respectively move up and down in the tubing string 1, and work cooperatively to transferred liquid loads therebetween, every time a small section of liquid column is discharged, the pressure created by this liquid column disappears, the gas column pressure of all stages below the discharged one is reduced, the gas columns expand step by step, the gas expansion can accelerate the ascending motion of the plungers and the liquid columns above the plunger, such that the gas expansion energy is fully utilized, the required gas-liquid ratio is reduced, the liquid discharge amount increases, more liquid can be discharged under the condition that the gas amount is the same, or the gas amount required by the liquid discharging system is greatly reduced under the condition that the liquid discharging amount is the same.
