海上大位移井单罐内双电潜泵技术研究及应用

Research and Application of Continuous POD Dual ESP Technology in Offshore Extended Reach Wells

  • 摘要: 海上大位移井采用常规双罐双泵技术生产时电缆外置易导致电缆破损,双泵双罐结构投影面积过大增加了节流和冲蚀风险,双Y接头结构中旁通油管与大排量电潜泵并列投影面积大于套管内径,旁通管还存在冲蚀风险。为此,采用设计软件对设备实际结构进行对比分析的方法,设计了单罐双电潜泵结构的机采方案,并搭配使用罐内封隔器和膨胀旋转短节等特殊工具将罐外电缆和管线内置,形成了单罐内双电潜泵技术。研究结果表明,该技术减小了罐体的投影外径,投影仅为193.7 mm,比双Y管的电泵外径215.9 mm更小,解决了传统电潜泵外置方案中电缆易损、设备冲蚀严重的问题,并在南海恩平21–4油田进行了成功应用。研究结果为海上大位移井电潜泵推广应用提供了技术支持。

     

    Abstract: When producing from offshore extended-reach wells using conventional dual-tank dual-pump technology, externally routed cables are prone to damage. Additionally, the dual-pump dual-tank configuration creates excessive projection area, increasing risks of flow restriction and erosion. In the dual Y-joint structure, the combined projection area of the bypass tubing and high-capacity electric submersible pumps (ESPs) exceeds the casing's inner diameter, with the bypass tubing also facing erosion risks. To address these challenges, a novel artificial lift design featuring a single-tank dual-ESP configuration was developed through comparative analysis of design software simulations and actual equipment structures. By employing specialized tools such as in-tank packers and expandable rotating subs to internalize cables and pipelines within the tank, a single-tank dual-ESP technology was created. Research results demonstrate this innovation reduces the tank's projected outer diameter to 193.7 mm, significantly smaller than the 215.9 mm ESP diameter of dual-Y configurations. This solution effectively mitigates cable damage risks and severe equipment erosion inherent in traditional external ESP arrangements. Successful field application has been achieved in the South China Sea's Enping 21-4 oilfield. This technological approach provides new insights for ESP deployment design in similar extended-reach wells.
