Embodiment Construction

[0019] (1) Liquid level measurement process

[0020] When the oil well casing pressure is higher than 0.1MPa, the liquid level measurement process is as follows. See figure 1 , the electronic unit 6 controls the solenoid valve 5 to open, and the pressure of the container 4 drops. After the electromagnetic valve 5 is opened and the pressure of the container 4 is low to the test tube pressure of 0.1 MPa, the electromagnetic valve 5 is closed to get ready for the test. Then the electronic unit 6 controls the solenoid valve 3 to open and close quickly, so that a negative pressure wave is formed in the cavity of the test tube 1 . The pressure in the cavity of the test tube 1 is continuously collected by the sensor 2 into the electronic unit 6 to form a waveform. When the negative pressure wave propagates downhole and reflects back from the liquid surface, an obvious liquid level echo can be observed on the waveform; at the same time, the negative pressure wave will also generate...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a dynamic automatic liquid-level detector for an oil well and belongs to the oil field automatic detecting technical field; the dynamic automatic liquid-level detectorconsists of a test tube (1), a sensor (2), an electromagnetic valve (3), a container (4), an electromagnetic valve (5), an electronic unit (6), a sound velocity determine tube (7), and a blind-terminal(8); the test tube (1), the solenoid valve (5) and the container are connected in series way one by one, which easily triggers and controls the width and the intensity of a pulse sound source; the container is connected with the test tube (1) through the electromagnetic valve (3), and communicated with atmosphere or connected with external low-voltage pipes through the electromagnetic valve (5);a special thin and long blind pipe is arranged beside the three-way sensor at the middle of the test tube to test the real velocity of sound; the open and the close of the electromagnetic valves (3)and (5) are controlled by the electronic unit (6) which collects the signals from the sensor (2) and calculates the depth of the liquid, and then displays and carries out a further transfer of the data; the dynamic automatic liquid-level detector has the advantages that the dynamic automatic liquid-level detector can spring the sound source automatically; and can control the pulse and the width of the sound source; and also can detect the velocity of the sound quickly and correctly without being effected by the factors of casing pressure, temperature, the amount of liquid contained in gas.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oilfield automatic testing, and in particular provides an automatic detector for oil well dynamic liquid level. It is suitable for oil wells with casing, such as beam pumping unit production wells, screw pump production wells, etc. When the casing pressure is higher than 0.1MPa, it can automatically measure the depth of the downhole liquid level. Its output signal can be used locally for automatic start-stop and speed control of the pumping unit, and can also be transmitted remotely to the oilfield production dispatching center. Background technique [0002] Currently, dual-channel echo sounders are commonly used to measure oil well liquid levels. This kind of detector uses the explosion of gunpowder bombs as the sound source, and the sound waves emitted enter the narrow and long casing space downhole from the joint between the instrument and the wellhead, and continue to propagate downward until the oi...
