| description | Abstract Daqing Oilfield as the world’s largest application area of alkali–surfactant–polymer (ASP) flooding, in recent years, with the increase in aging wells, the eccentric wear and deformation of sucker rod and pipe during oil production has become more and more serious. In order to study the effect of emulsion lubrication in ternary composite flooding on eccentric wear of sucker rod and tubing, this paper establishes a calculation model for the depth of tubing wear under different emulsion lubrication conditions through indoor friction and wear experiments combined with White and Dawson wear efficiency theory. Based on this, the finite element method is used to predict the safe wear life of tubing under different component emulsion lubrication. The results show that compared to intact oil pipes, the residual internal pressure strength of oil pipes with defects decreases, and stress concentration occurs at the edges and middle of the defects. The wear life of oil pipes decreases with the increase in pump depth and wear coefficient under emulsion lubrication. The water content and alkali concentration have the most significant effects on the wear life of oil pipes under emulsion lubrication conditions. The safe wear life of sucker rod pipes under emulsion lubrication with a water content of 75% will be increased by 37.8% compared to those in emulsion lubrication with a water content of 95%, and under emulsion lubrication with an alkali concentration of 500 mg/l, the safe wear life will be increased by 50.6% compared to those in emulsion lubrication with a concentration of 2000 mg/l. The research results can provide theoretical and technical support for oilfield enterprises to reduce rod and pipe wear in ASP flooding oil wells, improve the pump inspection cycle of pumping wells, and ensure the safety of oil well work. |
