Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of petroleum development technology, specifically to an intelligent layered polymer injection tubing and construction method for loose sandstone reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] Polymer flooding is a key development method for further enhancing oil recovery after waterflooding. It has been widely applied in domestic oilfields such as Daqing, Shengli, and Dagang, making China the country with the largest scale and best results in using polymer flooding technology. With the industrialization and application of polymer flooding technology, to mitigate the adverse effects of reservoir vertical heterogeneity on polymer flooding, stratified polymer injection technology has rapidly developed, forming single-tube (concentric and eccentric) stratified injection processes, dual-tube stratified injection processes, etc. Currently, with the construction of smart oilfields, the demand for intelligent stratified polymer injection is even more urgent.
[0003] Reference 1, "Intelligent Measurement and Control Technology for Layered Polymer Injection Wells," discloses an intelligent measurement and control process. This involves placing an intelligent injector in each injection layer. Each injector contains flow, pressure, and temperature sensors, as well as a flow regulation and control device. All injectors are connected to the wellhead via a single steel cable. The continuous layered flow and pressure signals monitored by the injectors at each layer are transmitted via cable to a surface control box. The surface control box then transmits these signals to the control room via cable or wirelessly. The surface control box issues commands to each layer downhole via cable, achieving online control of the layered flow.
[0004] Reference 2, "Research and Application of Pre-installed Cable Intelligent Layered Polymer Injection Technology," discloses intelligent polymer injection technology, which consists of a computer, a wireless network, and a process tubing. The process tubing mainly comprises a surface control system, a dedicated injection wellhead for the cable, a cable packer, and a flow-reading downhole electrically controlled polymer injector. The core component is the intelligent polymer injector, which adopts a split design, is connected by a plug-in method, and is fixed by a central pipe thread.
[0005] Announcement No. CN115992695B discloses a novel intelligent downhole monitoring and control device, system, and method. The device includes a fiber optic downhole temperature, pressure, and flow sensor and a hydraulic control valve. The fiber optic downhole temperature, pressure, and flow sensor and the hydraulic control valve are connected by a threaded connection. The fiber optic downhole temperature, pressure, and flow sensor collects downhole fluid flow, temperature, and pressure data and transmits the downhole data to an external wellhead control cabinet via an optical cable. The hydraulic control valve is connected to the wellhead control cabinet via a hydraulic control pipeline. The wellhead control cabinet pressurizes the hydraulic control valve through the hydraulic control pipeline to regulate the downhole flow rate.
[0006] Publication No. CN118815430A discloses an integrated intelligent sub-injection process tubing string for water injection and profile control, including a wellhead, tubing, water distributor, packers, ball seats, screen pipes, and plugs. The lower end of the wellhead is provided with tubing sleeved inside the casing. The lower end of the tubing is fixedly installed with ball seats, screen pipes, and plugs in sequence from top to bottom. Several packers are provided at intervals on the lower outer side of the tubing above the ball seats. A water distributor is installed on the tubing below each packer.
[0007] Publication No. CN118110483A discloses a segmented intelligent polymer injection process string for horizontal wells, including a casing concentrically arranged outside the tubing, a surface control system, and an intelligent injector. The intelligent injector is electrically connected to the surface control system via a control cable. The intelligent injector is equipped with a flow regulating element. When the surface control system is configured to regulate flow, it issues a command to control the flow regulating element inside the intelligent injector to regulate the flow in each segment.
[0008] The aforementioned existing technologies are all controlled by hydraulic pipelines or cables. In application, the lifespan is difficult to guarantee due to the influence of pipeline or cable joints. At the same time, the installation process is also relatively cumbersome, increasing construction costs.

Each stratified polymer injection unit contains at least two stages of intelligent regulating injection devices 4, with different filling coefficients of the anti-adsorption gravel 426 in each stage, resulting in different injection pressure differentials. The lower end of the lowest stratified polymer injection unit is connected to a backwash valve 2, and the lower end of the backwash valve 2 is connected to a plug 1.
[0056] Among them, the layered packer 5 separates the oil layers, so that one layered polymer injection unit corresponds to one oil layer.
[0057] Furthermore, the intelligent regulating injection device 4 includes a central tube and an outer sleeve 404. A connecting ring is provided on the inner wall of the upper end of the outer sleeve 404. The inner wall of the connecting ring is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the central tube and sealed by a rubber ring A403.

The output shaft of the linear actuator is connected to the pull sleeve 417. An injection port is provided on the wall of the central tube, and the injection port corresponds to the pull sleeve 417. The wireless controller receives control signals to cause the linear actuator to drive the pull sleeve 417 to move up and down, opening or closing the injection port. When the injection port is open, the injected fluid enters the well through the injection port, the annular space between the outer sleeve 404 and the central tube, and the sand control throttling pipe section. Anti-adsorption gravel 426 is provided inside the sand control throttling pipe section. By making the anti-adsorption gravel 426 filling coefficients of different intelligent regulating injection devices 4 in a layered polymer injection unit different, different injection pressure differentials are formed.

The sheath 425 is provided with an inlet F434. The injected liquid enters the formation through inlet D433, anti-adsorption gravel 426, inlet E435, winding wire 424, and inlet F434. By adjusting the filling coefficient of the anti-adsorption gravel 426, different injection pressure differentials are formed.

[0062] Among them, the wireless receiving system 406 is responsible for receiving the commands issued by the signal ball 6, which has its address code and adjustment code pre-set on the ground.
[0063] Among them, the circuit control system 407 is the main control system, which is responsible for issuing commands to the motor control system 408.

[0076] Example 2:
[0077] Based on Example 1, this example provides a construction method for an intelligent layered polymer injection string in a loose sandstone reservoir. Taking two oil layers and three intelligent regulating injection devices 4 set in each layered polymer injection unit as an example, the method includes the following steps:
[0078] S1. During on-site construction, in accordance with Figure 1 As shown, two layered polymer injection units are prepared. Each layered polymer injection unit is equipped with a layered packer 5, a first-stage intelligent adjustable injection device 4A, a second-stage intelligent adjustable injection device 4B, and a third-stage intelligent adjustable injection device 4C. The filling coefficient of the anti-adsorption gravel 426 in each stage of the intelligent adjustable injection device 4 is different. A backwash valve 2 and a plug 1 are set below the tubing string. The tubing string is lowered into the well to complete the setting of each stage of the layered packer 5.
[0079] S2. Based on the water absorption index of each oil layer, and combined with the indoor throttling pressure difference-flow test curves of the first-stage intelligent adjustment injection device, the second-stage intelligent adjustment injection device, and the third-stage intelligent adjustment injection device, adjust from bottom to top.
[0080] First, activate the intelligent adjustment injection device 4 in the bottommost layered polymer injection unit;
[0081] If the second-level intelligent adjustment injection device 4B in the lowest-level layered polymer injection unit is activated, the signal ball 6 is set to the second-level layer with the layer code set to the second level and the opening code set to "open". The signal ball 6 is then inserted into the wellbore. The signal ball 6 transmits a signal to the wireless receiving system 406. Upon receiving the adjustment command, the circuit control system 407 receives the command. The motor control system 408 and the rotary-linear transmission system 409 then begin to drive the pull sleeve 417 upwards. When the pull sleeve 417 moves to... Figure 3 At this location, inlet A429, inlet B430, channel A431, inlet C432, inlet D433, inlet E435, and inlet F434 form an integrated channel, enabling the connection between the inside of tubing 3 and the formation. The polymer flows out after passing through inlet A429, inlet B430, channel A431, inlet C432, inlet D433, inlet E435, and inlet F434.
[0082] Adjust the ball from bottom to top in sequence according to the above throwing method. When adjusting, refer to the test results of the ground flow meter for auxiliary adjustment. After the adjustment of each layer is completed, put down the wire-drop flow meter for retesting.
[0083] Since the entire process involves large-channel injection, the flow rate of polymer injection in each layer is adjusted by relying on the filling coefficient of the anti-adsorption gravel, resulting in a low degree of shear throughout the process.
[0084] S3. All layered polymer injection units can be opened at once. For example, the first-level intelligent adjustment injection device 4A in each oil layer can be opened. The signal ball 6 is set with the layer code as the first level of the first layer and the first level of the second layer, and the opening code as open and open. The signal ball 6 is then inserted into the wellbore, and the signal ball 6 opens the first-level intelligent adjustment injection device 4A in each oil layer.
[0085] It should be noted that the signal ball 6 is existing technology, which is clear to those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be elaborated upon.
