The viscous resistance caused by the relative motion of plunger and pump barrel is an important factor in the dynamic analysis of the drainage and production mechanism during coalbed methane exploitation. Existing studies mostly focus on deep well (1000–3000 m) large-displacement pump (usually 80–300 m 3 /d), and the interstitial medium is mainly crude oil. Regression fitting is mainly carried out based on empirical formula or experimental simulation method, without considering the characteristics of shallower coalbed gas well (400–800 m) small-displacement pump (<10 m 3 /d). The variation of the clearance between plunger and barrel and the variation of viscous resistance between plunger and barrel are not revealed. Based on the Navier-Stokes equation and Newton's internal friction law, a mathematical model of the annular viscous resistance between the plunger and the pump barrel is established, and an analytical method is used to describe the influence of stroke times, annular clearance, and differential pressure between the upper and lower plungers on the viscous resistance. The results show that the plunger stroke is directly proportional to the variation range of viscous resistance, and low stroke is beneficial to reduce the viscous resistance. The effect of differential pressure between upper and lower plunger of rod pump on viscous resistance of small displacement coalbed gas well is significantly greater than that of plunger running speed. The annular clearance is directly proportional to the differential pressure between the upper and lower parts of the plunger, the inertia force of the plunger, and the shear force of the moving fluid. The annular viscous resistance model between plunger and pump barrel is helpful to improve the calculation accuracy of suspending point load of coalbed gas well pumping unit, analyze the working condition of coalbed gas drainage gas production process, and provide basis for the optimization design of coalbed gas well rod pump clearance.
Targeting the problem of a small amount of fluid accumulation in deep coal seam gas (CSG) wells during flowing production stage, the evaporation drainage method is proposed to discharge the liquid accumulation. Based on the Dalton evaporation model and wind speed function, a calculation model of evaporation drainage was established for deep CSG wells, which was verified by laboratory experiments. Taking a CSG well in the western Ordos Basin as an example to analyze the evaporation drainage capacity, the influence of temperature, daily gas production, bottomhole flowing pressure (BHFP), formation gas water saturation on the evaporation drainage capacity was investigated. The results show that the maximum evaporation water production is 2,533.8 kg/d at a bottomhole temperature of 80°C and a gas production rate of 30 × 103 m3/d. It is found that the temperature and pressure have a marked influence on the evaporation drainage. By improving the gas production and bottomhole temperature, and reducing the BHFP can effectively promote the evaporation drainage capacity. The initial moisture content of CSG in the reservoir are inversely proportional to the evaporation drainage capacity. By adjusting the BHFP and daily gas production, the evaporation drainage capacity can match the liquid production rate of the formation. Evaporation drainage can effectively extend the flowing production time of deep CSG wells and reduce the costs of production.
To study the corrosion characteristics of high-strength sucker rods in high-salinity well fluids under alternating stresses, a single-factor stress corrosion test was designed. The slow strain rate tensile test (SSRT) was carried out for four kinds of high-strength sucker rods under different Cl− and HCO3− concentrations and with different service strengths, and the variable stress corrosion cracking susceptibility was analyzed. The results show that the elongation loss and absorbed work loss of the H-grade ultra-high-strength 4330 sucker rod after stress corrosion are greater than those of both the high-strength 4142 sucker rod and the high-strength 20CrMoA sucker rod. The elongation and absorbed work loss of the 30CrMoA and 20CrMoA sucker rods are less affected by the changes in Cl− and HCO3−. With the increase in use strength, the elongation and absorbed work loss of the high-strength sucker rod increase. The change in the surface of the sucker rod during the corrosion process is inconsistent with the actual elongation of the sucker rod and the absorbed work loss. It can be concluded that the stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of the sucker rod is not necessarily related to the tensile strength of the sucker rod. The 4330 sucker rod is not suitable for applications in wells with a high concentration of Cl−, but it is suitable for operation in alkaline conditions where corrosive media such as HCO3− and Cl− coexist. Under highly corrosive and highly mineralized conditions, the 30CrMoA sucker rod is less susceptible to stress corrosion. The stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of the 20CrMoA sucker rod is lower than that of the 4142 sucker rod. In high-salinity well fluids, the higher the use strength, the higher the stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of the high-strength sucker rod is. The test results for the weight-loss-based corrosion rate and plastic loss may contradict the determination of the corrosion susceptibility of the material under working conditions.
In coal seam gas (CSG) coproduction wells, due to the different production pressures of CSG production layer at different depths, the interlayer interference in wellbore seriously affects the gas production of a coproduction well. To effectively suppress the interlayer interference of the wellbore, a wellbore pressure distribution method for a two-layer coproduction well is proposed. Based on the analysis of the factors influencing the flow pressure distribution in the wellbore of two-layer coproduction wells, a method of coproduction flow pressure adjustment by regulating the wellhead pressure and the depth of the dynamic fluid level was established in this paper. The results show that wellhead pressure can directly affect the production pressure of two layers. The variation in layer 1 output mainly affects the pressure difference between the wellhead pressure and the pressure at the depth of layer 1, which has little effect on the pressure difference between layer 1 and 2. An increase in gas production from layer 2 would not only cause a pressure increase in layer 1, but also result in a reduction of the production pressure at layer 2. The maximum pressure gradient of the gas section is 0.14 MPa/100 m, and the pressure gradient of the gas–liquid section is 0.53–1.0 MPa/100 m.
The gas phase accelerating beyond the liquid phase caused by gas-liquid slippage cannot be ignored in short horizontal pipelines with undulation and inflow, and there is no method to calculate it. Therefore, a pressure drop prediction model for variable liquid holdup was developed in this paper. The theoretical model calculation results were validated using computational fluid dynamics. The effectiveness of the pressure drop prediction model has been demonstrated. The various pressure drop, liquid holdup, and development length laws were then examined. The findings indicate that: the pressure drop in the developed section of stratified flow is not only the friction pressure drop but also the acceleration pressure drop; the length of the stratified flow development section and pipeline pressure drop are more easily affected by the flowrate than the liquid holdup in the pipe inlet. Using the relevant data from coalbed methane horizontal wells as an example, the L/D of the development section is approximately 40-85 when the inlet flowrate is 0.8-1 m/s, and the inlet liquid holdup is 0.3-0.5. The pressure drop characteristics in the gas-liquid stratified flow development section are obviously different from those in the stable section. The development of a pressure drop prediction model for the stratified flow development section lays the theoretical groundwork for the investigation of gas-liquid two-phase flow in horizontal pipelines with short or undulating and inflow conditions.
Rod pumping on offshore platform provides a solution to low efficient extraction of offshore heavy oil and the safety of working platform is the prerequisite for the implementation of this new technology. In this paper, a coupling dynamics model of rod pumping system and the jacket platform is established, and the dynamic characteristics of the pumping unit excitation, rod pumping system, and jacket platform is studied. Based on the analysis of the multi-body dynamics model, the three frequencies (pumping unit excitation, rod pumping system, jacket platform) are far apart, so the dynamic effect of rod pumping on the platform can be analyzed according to static load. Based on the limit working state and the cumulative damage theory of the structure, the safety evaluation standard for the increased load of the jacket platform is established. Under the extreme marine environment once in 50 years, the safety factor of the main structure of the platform is greater than 4, and the overall safety factor is 3% lower than that before the rod pumping operation. Offshore rod pumping has less influence on the jacket platform from analysis, and which lays a theoretical and safety foundation for offshore oil pumping.
Cleaning out the pulverized coal deposited at the bottom of a coalbed methane (CBM) well is key to achieving continuous CBM drainage and prolonging the workover period. In this study, Fluent is used in conjunction with the standard k-ε model and the Eulerian-Eulerian model to simulate and analyse jet erosion of deposited pulverized coal particles. The depth and width of the stable erosion pit that is formed by jet-impacting deposited pulverized coal under different conditions are determined and provide a theoretical basis for the cleanout of pulverized coal in the bottom of a CBM well. In this paper, the three parameters of the jet target distance, nozzle diameter and nozzle outlet flow velocity are selected to perform an orthogonal simulation. The change trends in the depth and width of the scouring pit with time are determined. The results show that jet impacting of deposited pulverized coal can be categorised into four stages, periods of rapid growth, stability, jet swing and dynamic stability. A sensitivity analysis shows that the nozzle outlet flow velocity has the strongest influence on the depth of the scouring pit among the selected parameters. The depth of the jet impact pit can reach the maximum depth at t = 3 s, while the width of the impact pit can reach the maximum after t = 7 s. This can provide key design parameters for CBM well pulverized coal impacting operation. It is of great significance for capacity damage control during CBM well workover operation.

For an accurate force prediction of BOP shearing drill pipe is of critical importance in reliable sealing of the wellhead in an emergency, based on the shear motion equation, the Treace yield criterion, sliding line field and wedge mechanics theory are applied to establish the prediction model of shearing force. The theoretical force is consistent with the simulation force in the novel shear rams simulated shearing CT90 tube process before the peak force and shear experiment verified the reliability of the numerical simulation. Further, the influences of the structural parameters of the rams on the maximum shearing force are investigated by the orthogonal test and range analysis method. The study shows that the maximum shearing force with the increase of the V-shape angle increases first and then decreases, decreases with the increase of the blade angle and the edge chamfer angle, and increases linearly with the increase of the blade mouth thickness; the optimal V-shape angle is around 75 degrees.

Coalbed methane (CBM) wells are shorter in continuous effective production time and are maintained frequently in the process of exploitation, so it is quite important to study the adaptability of CBM production equipment. In this paper, the analytical hierarchy process and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (AHP+FCE) method was adopted to analyze the main factors controlling the productivity of low-efficiency CBM well from three aspects, i.e., resource condition, output condition and development condition. Then, adaptability of the production equipment was evaluated. It is indicated by virtue of the AHP+FCE method that the productivity of CBM well is mainly affected by five indicators, including gas content, burial depth, permeability, pulverized coal output and production rate. The CBM production system and process can be optimized specifically according to these five main indicators. The adaptability of the commonly used CBM production equipment (e.g. “rod-pumping” equipment, progressive cavity pump (PCP), electric submersible pump (ESP) and jet pump) is analyzed from the aspects of pulverized coal output and production rate. The analysis conclusions provide the technical reference for selecting the production equipment of low-efficiency CBM wells.

The design and optimization of the hydrocyclone inlet are an effective way to improve the overall performance of the hydrocyclone. In this paper, a set of novel hydrocyclones are designed by changing single to multiple inlets and narrowing the inlet width. The effects of inlet size and number of inlet on the particle separation efficiency, cut-size, the velocity field and pressure characteristics are discussed based on the same feed flow rates, with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and experimental methods. The governing equations are coupled using the SIMPLE algorithm, while the Reynolds stress model (RSM) is employed for hydrocyclone turbulent model due to anisotropic nature. Particle trajectories are simulated with discrete phase model (DPM) due to low volume fraction of solid particles in the mixed fluid. The simulated particle separation efficiencies and cut-size approximately agree with experimental data. The results show that it is changing single inlet to multiple inlets and narrowing the inlet width that produce positive effects on the growing of tangential velocity of the hydrocyclone, increasing the centrifugal force of the discrete phase, reducing the resistance buoyance, prolonging the residence time of particles, which reduce the effective size of the cut size and make the total separation efficiency increase by 4.31%.
In the stable production stage CBM wells have the characteristics of high gas production and low water production. The use of continuous velocity tube technology for drainage can achieve better drainage results. Accurate and rapid prediction of the pressure drop of velocity pipe string production in a coalbed methane well has become the key to the operation and management of velocity pipe technology. This paper uses the nonlinear mapping and prediction capabilities of the BP neural network to build a three-layer BP neural network to construct a velocity pipe string production pressure drop prediction model. The model is based on gas production, water production, bottom hole pressure, pipe string diameter, and well depth. The five factors are input, and the pressure drop of the pipe string is the output, which can quickly and accurately realize the pressure drop analysis and calculation of the speed pipe drainage. The analysis shows that it is feasible to use the BP neural network to calculate and analyse the pressure drop of the velocity string of coalbed methane wells.
