Adaptive analysis of multistage down-hole throttling and optimization design of process parameters in Sulige gas field

Abstract

The Sulige Gas Field mainly adopts down-hole throttling production technology. For gas Wells with high bottom-hole pressure and productivity and low pressure drop in the testing process, it is difficult to reduce the wellhead pressure to the ideal value by installing a single-stage down-hole throttle, which cannot meet the needs of existing middle and low-pressure gas gathering technology in Sulige Gas field. Therefore, it is proposed to adopt down-hole multi-stage throttling technology, which not only makes full use of the residual pressure and heat of the well bore, but also ensures the safety of the surface gathering and transportation process system and the normal production of gas wells. In this paper, the optimization design method and theory for the technological parameters of the down-hole multi-stage throttling system of gas wells are established. According to the constraint of low-pressure gas collection mode in a temperature and pressure of wellhead safety to determine the number of down-hole choke and the process parameters. Discuss the applied conditions of down-hole multi-stage throttling, and provide theoretical support for the selection of the down-hole choke technology of the Sulige gas well and the safe and stable production of the gas well. It has important guiding significance for gas field quality and efficiency improvement and fine management.
