FIELD: oil and gas industry. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to oil and gas industry and namely to operation of gas wells at the closing stage of development, in particular, to operation of gas wells with insufficient gas velocity for liquid export from the bottomhole. The concept of the invention is as follows: according to the method the gas well is equipped with a main production string and a concentric central production string placed in it with formation of annular space between these strings. End surface of the central production string is placed below the end surface of the main production string while gas extraction is carried out simultaneously through the central production string and the annular space. At that extraction of gas through the central production string is made with flow rate that is one and a half times higher than the rate required for liquid extraction from the well and gas flow rate through annular space is set so that it does not exceed the value of operating flow rate. In a pathway of the flow from the central production string a metre is installed and in a pathway of the flow from the annular space an automatic gas flow regulating valve is installed. Then the flows are combined and sent to the similar metre, at that electric signal of the metre installed in the flow of the central production string and the metre of the combined flow are sent to controllers of automatic control system which is used for analysis of received data; and a command is sent to the automatic gas flow regulating valve thus optimising total production rate of the well considering filtration resistance of the well in compliance with analytic expression. EFFECT: providing optimisation of gas well operation method that allows operation of gas wells without interruption for liquid removal. 3 ex, 1 dwg
The invention relates to the oil and gas industry, namely, to the operation of gas wells in the final stages of development, in particular to the operation of the so-called samosudova wells, that is, wells, in which the velocity of the gas flow is insufficient to removal of fluid from the slaughter. At the final stage of development of gas fields formation energy is not enough to provide the removal accumulates on the bottom of the liquid from the wells. Under the influence of all the increase of the volume of the liquid well stop, as the energy of the reservoir and, accordingly, the velocity of the gas stream is not sufficient for carrying out of the liquid on the surface. Upon reaching the specific elevation of post this liquid on the bottom of the gas from the reservoir cannot overcome liquid barrier and well samosudova, that is suppressed [Kustyshev A.V. Complex repairs of gas wells in Western Siberia. - M: Gazprom Expo 2010. - 212 C.] For remove the liquid from the bottom of gas wells using different methods, for example: - purge of the wellbore in the atmosphere or pipeline; - pumping on the face liquid or solid surface-active substances; - reduction of the diameter tubing string; - application of plunger lift. The known method of operation of gas wells, including gas extraction in the annular space and a tubing string with limited selection of gas from the annular space by throttling [RF patent №345266 EV 43/00]. The disadvantage of this method of operation of gas wells is that removal of fluid from the slaughter it is necessary to periodically stop the hole. The task of creation of the invention consists in ensuring the continuous removal of fluid from the trunks gas wells to eliminate the conditions of their self push. The technical result of the invention is to optimize the mode of operation of gas wells, which allow to exploit them without stopping to remove all liquid. The technical result is achieved by the fact that in the known method of operation of gas wells, in which gas well equipped with the main lift column and concentric with its Central Elevator column, with the formation of the annular space between them, the side of the Central tubing string is placed below the face major tubing string, and a selection of gas takes place simultaneously on the Central Elevator the column and the circular space, while gas extraction in the Central Elevator column lead with a rate of one and a half times greater than the rate necessary for carrying out the liquid from it, and the flow of gas through the annular space of the set of such magnitude that it does not exceed the value of the work flow rate, on the way flow from Central tubing string set the flow mernoe device, the flow path of the annular space set automatic control valve flow rate of the gas then flows are combined and sent to the similar flow measuring device, while the electrical signals from consumption opernogo device thread Central tubing string and flow measuring devices combined stream sent to the controllers automatic control complex, which analyze the data and serves a command on automatic control valve gas flow optimizing total well flow rate with account of fluid flow resistance of the well and in accordance with the formula: where q is a work flow, thousand m 3 /day; a - filtration coefficient, which characterizes the degree of pollution of bottom-hole zone, MPa 2 nights/thousand m 3 ; b - filtration coefficient, characterizing the degree mikroheranhvatho rocks (MPa·day/thousand m 3 ) 2 ; Q - filtration coefficient, characterizing the hydraulic resistance of gas flow depending on the design of the well (MPa·day) 2 /thousand m 3 ; P PL - pressure, MPa; R u - pressure at the mouth, MPa; e is the base of the natural logarithm; s - dimensionless multiplier Implementation of the method is illustrated in Fig., which schematically gas well equipped with the equipment, excluding conditions closedatabase, i.e. accumulation of fluid in the face. Well consists of an operational column 1, the main lift columns 2, concentrically placed in the Central tubing string 3, with the formation of the annular space 4 between them. The bottom end of the Central tubing string 3 below butt main tubing string 2. The well-equipped surface valves 5, including, in particular, pipelines 6, 7 estuarine binding. The pipeline mouth strapping 7 is connected with the annular space of 4, it has been consistently found to string valve 8, throttle device 9 and automatic control valve gas consumption (ECRG) 10.

Using auctions 16 analyze the incoming signals and compared with the values specified algorithm and provides alerts on ARGRG 10, altering the flow through the flow area annular space 4. The method is implemented as follows. The well is completed and put into operation. The selection of gas from the perforation interval 17 productive formation 18 are carried out by the Central Elevator column 3 and annular space 4. Together with gas from the perforated interval 17 productive formation 18 and slaughter 19 wells in Central Elevator column 3 shall be made liquid. In case of reduction of this rate in the Central Elevator column 3, the liquid is separated from the gas stream, and falls back to the slaughter 19. Therefore, to control the velocity of a gas stream in the Central Elevator column 3 and annular space 4 uses a system of control and regulation. With the help of flow measuring devices 13 and 15 installed on the pipeline mouth strapping 6 and on the overall pipeline mouth tying 14, carry out the measurement of the cost of gas and transmit that information in the form of electrical signals on oak 16. Here this information is processed, identified in accordance with set algorithm, the corresponding signal is fed to ARGRG 10 for changing flow area. When reducing bore ARGRG 10, the speed of movement of gas through the annular space 4 is reduced, and the speed of movement of gas in Central Elevator column 3 increases, which enables you to move alongside gas from gas-liquid with slaughter 19. When restoring the removal of fluid from auctions 16 electrical signal ARGRG 10, allowing to increase the flow area ARGRG 10 to establish optimum regime of the well. The algorithm by which auctions controls work well, is calculated in accordance with the formula for determining the work flow. Office automation total well flow rate with account of fluid flow resistance of the wells is determined in accordance with the formula: where q is a work flow, thousand m 3 /day; a - filtration coefficient, which characterizes the degree of pollution of bottom-hole zone, MPa 2 nights/thousand m 3 ; b - filtration coefficient, which characterizes the degree mikroheranhvatho rocks (MPa·day/thousand m 3 ) 2 ; Q - filtration coefficient characterizing hydraulic resistance of gas flow depending on the design of the well (MPa·day) 2 /thousand m 3 ; P PL - pressure, MPa; R u - pressure at the mouth, MPa; e is the base of the natural logarithm; s - dimensionless multiplier When executing this command from the auctions on 16 ARGRG 10 gas extraction in the Central Elevator column 3 lead with a flow rate exceeding one and a half times the rate necessary for carrying out the liquid from the bottom 19 wells and flow of gas through the annular space of 4 set of such magnitude that it does not exceed the value of the work flow.
