Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an automatic air gun for oil well liquid level measurement during oil well development. Background technique
[0002] As we all know, the determination of oil well liquid level is of great significance to oil well survey and measurement, and it can be an auxiliary parameter to determine oil well production, permeability and other parameters.
[0003] Echo ranging has been widely used in oil well measurement. By generating a sound pulse at the wellhead, the pulse propagates downhole through the annulus between the tubing and the casing. By measuring the time of coupling echo and liquid level echo, that is Acoustic velocity and liquid surface depth can be obtained. The traditional way of generating sound pulses is acoustic bombs. Due to many factors such as safety and environmental protection, it has become a trend to replace acoustic bombs with air guns.
[0004] There are two kinds of air sources for the sound pulse of the air...
