Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of injection and production testing, specifically a multi-parameter testing device for injection and production wells and its water injection and oil production testing method. Background Technology
[0002] As oilfields are explored and developed, crude oil is continuously extracted from the formation, leading to a gradual depletion of formation energy and a decrease in oil recovery rate. Without sufficient replenishment energy, the pressure between oil layers continuously decreases during production. To replenish formation energy and improve recovery, water injection technology is frequently used in oilfield enhancement. Traditional water injection and oil production technologies are indiscriminate, lacking the ability to monitor the direction of water flow and whether it reaches the target layer. This can easily result in water flooding of oil layers and insufficient replenishment of energy to the target layer. Furthermore, indiscriminate oil production, with multiple layers being extracted simultaneously, easily leads to the extraction of high-pressure, high-water-cut oil layers, highlighting inter-layer conflicts. High-water-cut layers can backflow and seal off low-water-cut layers, resulting in high water content in the produced fluid. This has led to the development of stratified water injection and stratified oil production enhancement technologies. Stratified water injection involves installing packers in injection wells to separate formations with significant differences. Then, testing devices are used for stratified water injection, controlling the water injection volume in high-permeability layers and enhancing the injection in medium- and low-permeability layers, ensuring that each layer can function effectively. Layered oil recovery involves separating oil-producing layers in a formation and using interlayer testing devices to select and extract oil layers with high pressure and low water cut, while sealing off oil layers with high water cut and negative pressure. This resolves the interlayer conflict, effectively stabilizes oil production and controls water, and improves oil recovery rate.
[0003] Water injection wells are production enhancement wells, while oil production wells are production wells. Their fluid flow directions are opposite: water injection wells inject fluid from the surface into the formation, while oil production wells produce fluid from the formation to the surface. Both serve as means to improve oilfield efficiency and increase production. Under certain circumstances, there is no fixed boundary between water injection and oil production wells; water injection or oil production can be determined based on testing results. However, due to the opposite fluid flow directions and the differences in required technical parameters and testing environments, the structure and sub-sections of the testing equipment for injection and production wells differ significantly, making them incompatible and unable to be directly used when interchanged.
[0004] During oil extraction, the produced fluid is often a mixture of crude oil, natural gas, and water from the formation. Especially in the middle and later stages of oilfield development, the amount of water mixed in the produced fluid is large and the water content is high. The mixing and flow of oil, gas, and water is a very common phenomenon. The production volume and water content of an oil well or a specific oil-producing layer are important technical indicators in the process of oilfield development.
[0005] One of the important methods for measuring the water cut of downhole fluids is the electrical method, which typically uses the probe method, conductivity method, and capacitance method. The probe method measures the water cut based on the difference in conductivity between the phases in the fluid being measured. Its measurement accuracy is greatly affected by complex flow patterns, and the measurement has a certain hysteresis effect. The conductivity method determines the water cut by measuring the conductivity of each phase in the fluid, and it is low in cost and has a fast response speed. The capacitance method calculates the water cut by measuring the average dielectric constant of the mixed fluid between the electrodes of the capacitance sensor flowing through the measuring pipe section. It is only suitable for measuring small flow rates, and it loses the ability to distinguish between oil and water phases at high water cuts.
[0006] The main methods for testing downhole fluid flow rate are the ultrasonic method and the pressure difference method. The ultrasonic method utilizes the fact that when ultrasonic waves are incident on the fluid being tested, the waves propagate through the fluid carrying information about the fluid velocity. The received ultrasonic signals are then used to measure the fluid velocity and flow rate. The pressure difference method utilizes the relationship between fluid pressure and flow rate. By analyzing the dynamic pressure and flow characteristics between two points in the pipe through which the fluid flows, and using sensors to measure the pressure values, the flow rate value is obtained.
[0007] Existing flow and water content testing methods in the market have shortcomings under certain testing environments, making it impossible to achieve completely accurate measurements. Furthermore, existing testing devices only have one type of testing section for measuring the same parameter. Therefore, under complex well conditions, the measurement of flow and water content of downhole fluids is mostly qualitative rather than quantitative, and the accuracy and precision cannot be guaranteed.
[0008] Chinese patent CN219528986U describes an integrated water injection and oil production device. This device has a single-stage structure and can measure downhole pressure, temperature, and flow rate parameters, but it cannot measure the water content of the well fluid. Furthermore, its flow rate measurement method is the relative pressure difference method, which uses two separate sensors to measure the pressure values before and after the throttling device to calculate the flow rate. While the sensors also measure internal pressure and formation pressure, the accuracy and precision of the measurements are low. Moreover, it is not fully compatible with both water injection and oil production; after switching between oil production and water injection wells, the internal and external pressure sensors need to be switched at the surface, and the algorithm needs to be adjusted. It also cannot obtain the important parameter of water content in the produced fluid during oil well testing.
[0009] In summary, there is an urgent need to develop a universal testing device for water injection and oil production wells, which can select appropriate testing methods according to well conditions and testing requirements, and achieve a multi-parameter testing device with high precision and high accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0056] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a water injection testing method for a multi-parameter testing device applicable to injection and production wells, comprising: The testing device is lowered to a preset formation depth and communicates with the ground PC via cable. The testing device will detect the formation pressure data of each layer and transmit it to the ground PC. The water injection plan is arranged based on the pressure test results. At the same time as the injection, the ground PC controls the well switch (20) of the testing device to open and the sealing piston (28) to move backward. The injected fluid enters the flow channel (27) through the second inlet and outlet (23) provided on the main channel 26 and finally flows to the sealing piston (28) of the well switch and enters the formation through the first inlet and outlet (6) of the intermediate connector. The ground PC monitors the flow rate and injection pressure of the injected fluid in real time according to the parameter testing components and accumulates the injection volume of the current formation to realize the real-time control of the injection layer and the injection volume.
[0057] The injection plan can be dynamically adjusted based on formation pressure and injection pressure. If the wellhead switch of the testing device is in the closed state, the current formation will be sealed.
[0058] Another embodiment of the present invention provides an oil production testing method using a multi-parameter testing device applicable to both injection and production wells, comprising: The testing device is lowered to the preset formation depth and communicates with the ground PC via cable. The testing device will detect the formation pressure data of each segment and transmit it to the ground PC. The oil production plan is arranged based on the pressure test results. By controlling the well switch (20) of the testing device to execute the opening command, the sealing piston (28) moves backward to open the current formation. At this time, the fluid produced in the formation enters the instrument through the inlet / outlet port (6) of the intermediate connector, flows through the flow channel (27) to the multi-stage conductivity test sub test channel (25), and enters and exits through the main channel. The liquid inlet (23) flows into the main channel (26), mixes with the produced fluid from other layers, and is collected to the surface. When the produced fluid flows in the test channel of the test device, the data measured by the parameter test component is displayed on the surface PC as the temperature, flow rate, water content and formation pressure of the produced fluid. Based on the above data, the quality of the produced fluid of the current harvested layer is evaluated, and then layer-by-layer testing is carried out to obtain the production and quality of the entire well formation. In this way, high-quality formations with high formation pressure and low water content are selected for harvesting, and formations with high water content and low pressure are blocked.
