Electric heating of heavy oil wells to reduce viscosity
Using the temperature-sensitive characteristics of the viscosity of heavy oil, the electric heating system of the oil well is used to heat the heavy oil in the wellbore and maintain it at a suitable temperature above the inflection point of the viscosity temperature, so that its viscosity is greatly reduced, thereby obtaining better flow. Sex, applied to:
(1) The wellbore of the mixed thinning and viscosity reduction process is heated and reduced to reduce the friction along the way of the heavy oil lifting process, thereby reducing or even eliminating the amount of thin oil blending, reducing the cost of blending, and increasing oil production;< /p>
(2) Increase the temperature before the pump and reduce the viscosity, reduce the resistance of heavy oil into the pump, make the heavy oil into the pump smoothly, and reduce the pumping depth and oil pump load, thereby reducing production and maintenance costs;
(3) Substitution of hot water injection and chemical viscosity reduction process to reduce operation, maintenance and post-processing costs.
According to different applications, the integrated heating cable assembly can be installed in the well:
——Directly into the well: the three-core integrated cable assembly is directly lowered into the tubing from the center hole of the Christmas tree top valve, and suspended and fixed on the Christmas tree top valve flange of the self-spraying well or electric pump well. The heating depth can reach 2500m, which is suitable for self-blowing wells and electric pump wells;
—— Nesting into the well: Put the three-core integrated cable assembly into the hollow sucker rod or coiled tubing, and use the hollow sucker rod or coiled tubing to enter the well. The maximum heating depth can reach more than 3000m. Blowout wells, electric pump wells and rod pumping wells;
Direct into the well installation nested into the well installation lashing into the well installation add before the pump Heat tracing after heat pump
——Lashing into the well: tying three single-core integrated cables on the outer surface of the sucker rod or coiled tubing into the well, leading from the small four-way flanks of the Christmas tree for installation and external power connection, suitable for heating depths above 2000m Self-blowing wells and electric pump wells;
——The diameter of the three-core integrated cable assembly is built into the oil pipe in front of the pump, and the three-core integrated cable is converted into three single-core integrated cables through the converter, and the single-core cable is led out from the oil pipe. It is fixed on the outer surface of the oil pipe at the rear of the pump, and fixed and connected to the external power supply from the flanks of the big four-way of the Christmas tree, so as to realize the heating before the pump and the heating after the pump. If only the heating before the pump is considered, the flat cable of the well pump or three single-core mineral insulated cables can be used to introduce the working power supply for the cables after the pump and the pump.
Thermal oil production process heating
Based on the good high temperature performance of the integrated heating cable, it is:
(1) Built in the compressed air delivery pipe of the fire flooding injection well, heating the compressed air along the way to make the temperature of the compressed air at the end reach the required process ignition temperature (above 400 ℃) to achieve oil layer ignition;
(2) The steam injection pipes of steam flooding and steam stimulation wells compensate for the heat loss in the steam transportation process, so that the end steam is maintained at the high temperature and high pressure when entering the well and injected into the oil layer, or normal temperature water is passed into the injection pipe to heat it High-temperature and high-pressure steam is injected into the oil layer to improve the recovery rate and recovery period;
(3) With the help of coiled tubing, it is placed in the oil layer and heated directly in the well, forming a high-temperature temperature field around it, so that the heavy oil is heated to a higher temperature and then collected by itself into the oil production well for exploitation.
High wax content well and gas well wax prevention and wax removal
Place the three-core integrated heating cable assembly directly into the wellbore of the high-wax well, use hollow sucker rods or coiled tubing to install it in the wellbore tubing of the high-wax well, or tie three single-core heating cables to the outside of the wellbore tubing. Installation, realization:
(1) Intermittent heating for wax removal and block removal
According to the cycle of waxing and clogging, intermittent power-on operation. When the oil (gas) output is at the lower limit, short-term power-on heating of the wellbore, melting the wax or gel condensed on the inner wall of the wellbore, and dredging the blocked pipe section , To realize the wax removal and plugging removal of oil/gas wells;
(2) Anti-wax and anti-condensation continuous heat tracing
Long-term energized operation keeps the oil/gas temperature in the wellbore always above the wax precipitation and gel temperature, prevents the condensation of wax or colloids on the inner wall of the wellbore, and ensures stable production of oil/gas wells.
In-situ conversion heating of shale oil
Set up heating wells at small intervals around or below the shale oil production well, and lower the integrated heating cable assembly into the heating well oil layer by means of coiled tubing, and heat the surrounding oil layers to about 320℃ after power-on Or higher conversion temperature, so that the heavy oil, bitumen and other organic substances in the shale oil layer can be converted into light oil and natural gas, which are then produced through production wells to realize the clean and efficient development and utilization of shale oil.
