Study on improving liquid carrying performance of annular jet pump gas well with static mixer

Abstract

AbstractIn the process of natural gas extraction, the phenomenon of liquid loading will affect the efficiency of gas well extraction and reduce the life of the well. Compared with conventional drainage gas extraction technology, the jet pump can not only reduce the bottom back pressure and ensure the stable production of gas reservoirs but also promote the final recovery rate. Since the jet pump relies on the interaction between fluid particles to transfer energy, the energy loss is large and the efficiency is low. To maximize the advantages of the gas‐driven jet pump, this study innovatively combines a static mixer with an annular jet pump. Utilizing the cyclonic effect produced by the static mixer, the original gas‐liquid axial motion is transformed into a stronger vortex motion, and the liquid droplets are changed into a liquid film that is easier to carry, which significantly improves the discharge efficiency of the jet pump. This study uses a combination of numerical simulation and experimental analysis to compare the associated effects of the new annular jet pump (NAJP) and the conventional annular jet pump (CAJP) on the liquid‐carrying performance of gas wells in terms of cyclonic effect, droplet breakage ratio, and pump efficiency. The results show that, compared with CAJP, NAJP increases the mass flow rate of the sucked fluid. The droplet breakage ratio increases by 15.4% year‐on‐year, while the critical liquid‐carrying flow rate is reduced by about 10.7%, resulting in a maximum pumping efficiency of 37%, an increase of about 30.7% year‐on‐year. At the same time, the reduction of the energy coefficient means lower energy consumption. In summary, NAJP is better than CAJP in terms of liquid‐carrying effect and efficiency.
