[0041] Example:

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , with reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a single-section test mechanism 1 for a shale gas horizontal well, which includes a controller 15, a cable 16, a casing 2, a continuous oil pipe 3, a screen 24, a first electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4, a test assembly 6, an electrically controlled switch valve 14 and a second electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 5. The casing 2 passes through a single section of the shale gas horizontal well, and the continuous oil pipe 3 is installed in the casing 2. The two are coaxially arranged. At the same time, one end of the cable 16 is electrically connected to the instrument panel of the controller 15 set on the ground, and the other end is passed through the continuous oil pipe 3. The continuous oil pipe 3 extends all the way to the well section to be tested in the shale gas horizontal well; the screen 24, the first electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4, the test assembly 6, the electrically controlled switch valve and the second electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 5 are connected to the continuous oil pipe 3 in sequence, and the free end thereof is sealed by installing a screw plug. The instrument panel of the controller 15 on the ground is electrically connected to the first electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4, the test assembly 6 and the second electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 5 in sequence through the cable 16, and can respectively control the opening or closing of the first electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4, the test assembly 6 and the second electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 5. The first electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4 and the second electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 5 are located on both sides of the layer section 25 to be tested, and the test assembly 6 is installed at the position of the layer section 25 to be tested. The first electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4 and the second electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 5 can isolate the layer section 25 to be tested in the single section of the shale gas horizontal well in the casing 2 through their own volume expansion, and then test the single section of the shale gas horizontal well when the casing 2 is in the isolated state through the test assembly 6.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the screen tube 24 is connected to the coiled tubing 3 and the first electronically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4 respectively through threads.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 , with reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the first electronically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4 in an expanded state, Figure 3Schematic diagram of the structure of the first electronically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4 when it is in a contracted state; it should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first electronically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4 and the second electronically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 5 have the same structure and the same working principle. The first electronically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4 includes a main oil tank 7, a driver 8, a pressure difference sensor 17, an electromagnetic switch valve 18, a safety valve 19, an oil inlet pipeline 21, an oil return pipeline 22, an extrusion type oil isolator 23 and a bladder 9; the main oil tank 7 is connected to the filter 20, the driver 8, the filter 20, the extrusion type oil isolator 23 and the bladder 9 in sequence through the oil inlet pipeline 21, and the bladder 9 is connected to the extrusion type oil isolator 23, the electromagnetic switch valve 18 and the main oil tank 7 in sequence through the oil return pipeline 22.

[0045] In addition, a safety valve 19 is installed on an oil return pipe 22 that connects the bladder 9 to the main oil tank 7; and the driver 8 can transport the oil in the main oil tank 7 to the bladder 9 to expand the bladder 9; the bladder 9 is connected to the main oil tank 7 through the oil return pipe 22, and an electromagnetic switch valve 18 is installed on the oil return pipe 22, and the electromagnetic switch valve 18 is used to shrink the bladder 9. A differential pressure sensor 17 is also installed on the oil inlet pipeline 21 connecting the driver 8 and the bladder 9. At the same time, the controller 15 on the ground is electrically connected to the driver 8 through the cable 16. The controller 15 on the ground monitors the pressure of the entire system in real time through the differential pressure sensor 17, and controls the driver 8 to supply oil to the system, so that the bladder 9 begins to expand, and the space where the layer section to be tested in the casing 2 is located is sealed; when the differential pressure sensor 17 detects that the pressure in the system reaches the predetermined requirement, the signal is transmitted to the controller 15, and the controller 15 issues a command to the driver 8 to immediately shut down the driver 8; when the bladder 9 needs to shrink, the controller 15 controls the electromagnetic switch valve 18 to open, thereby achieving the retraction of the bladder 9.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the controller 15 on the ground adopts a conventional controller in the prior art, and its specific structure and working principle are the same as those of the controller in the prior art; it can monitor and control the first electrically-controlled hydraulic expansion component 4 and the second electrically-controlled hydraulic expansion component 5 in real time on the ground, and fill the bladder 9 with oil through the motor 10 and the hydraulic pump 11 to expand the bladder 9 to seal the casing 2, thereby realizing the oil and gas well collecting flow test, and the on-site operation is convenient.

[0047] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the extrusion type oil isolator 23 includes a cylinder body, a piston rod and a return spring. One end of the piston rod can be slidably inserted into the cylinder body and is connected to the return spring. The return spring is arranged on one end of the cylinder body close to the bladder 9; an oil inlet and an oil outlet are respectively opened on the cylinder body, the oil inlet is connected to the oil inlet pipeline 21, and the oil outlet is connected to the bladder 9.

[0048] The extrusion type oil isolator 23 plays the function of isolating and transmitting the hydraulic oil. It can transmit the hydraulic oil output by the front hydraulic pump 11 to the bladder 9 through the isolation piston to expand the bladder 9, and can also physically isolate the hydraulic oil in the bladder 9 from the hydraulic oil in the main cavity, so as to avoid grouting of the entire system and damage to the hydraulic system after the bladder 9 is damaged; the extrusion type oil isolator 23 can well realize the recovery and retraction of the unpowered bladder 9 by reasonably setting the spring stiffness and preload on the right side, and has the characteristics of simple structure, safety and reliability, thereby maximizing the reusability of the hydraulic system, extending the maintenance period of the system, and realizing the function and purpose of multiple expansion and contraction after entering the well once.

[0049] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the driver 8 includes a motor 10 and a hydraulic pump 11 . The motor 10 is transmission-connected to the hydraulic pump 11 , and the hydraulic pump 11 is installed on the oil inlet pipeline 21 .

[0050] It should be noted that the oil-immersed servo motor 10 drives the hydraulic pump 11 to provide hydraulic oil for the system, and the differential pressure sensor 17 monitors the output pressure of the system in real time. When the system pressure reaches the rated pressure, it is closed and fed back to the control system. The control system will turn off the motor pump to keep the system in a pressure-maintaining state; the filter 20 plays a role in filtering the hydraulic oil to prevent impurities mixed from the outside from polluting the system; the safety valve 19 plays a role in system safety protection to prevent damage to system components caused by excessive system pressure.

[0051] When it is necessary to seal the inside of the casing 2, the motor pump is started, so that the left side of the squeeze-type oil isolator 23 is driven by the high-pressure hydraulic oil output by the hydraulic pump 11, and the internal piston mechanism will overcome the spring force on the right side and move to the right, thereby driving the pre-stored hydraulic oil inside the right side to be output outward and enter the expandable bladder 9, so that the bladder 9 expands to achieve the flow collection function; when it is necessary to retract the bladder 9, the electromagnetic switch valve 18 is opened, and the piston of the squeeze-type oil isolator 23 will push the left hydraulic oil back into the main oil tank 7 under the action of the right spring force, and at the same time, the hydraulic oil in the bladder 9 is sucked back into the right cavity of the squeeze-type oil isolator 23, so as to achieve the retraction function of the bladder 9. The motor 10 is used to control the micro hydraulic pump 11 to provide the expansion driving power of the bladder 9, and the electromagnetic switch valve 18 is used to perform the liquid circuit reversal. Through the above actions, the expansion and contraction of the rubber cylinder can be controlled, and the flow collection process is safe and efficient, and the flow collection effect is good.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 The test assembly 6 includes a pressure tester 12 and a flow and holding rate tester 13, which are installed on the continuous oil pipe 3 at intervals. An electric-controlled switch valve 14 is also installed on the continuous oil pipe 3, and the electric-controlled switch valve 14 is located between the test assembly 6 and the electric-controlled hydraulic expansion assembly.

[0053] It should be noted that when the electrically-controlled switch valve 14 is opened, the gas and liquid produced by the single-stage horizontal well test enter the continuous oil pipe 3 through the electrically-controlled switch valve 14, and then pass through the flow and holdup tester 13 and the screen pipe 24 in turn to enter the annular space formed by the continuous oil pipe 3 and the casing 2, and the flow and holdup data are collected through the flow and holdup tester 13.

[0054] The present application also provides a horizontal well single-stage testing method, which tests a predetermined layer section of a shale gas horizontal well through the above-mentioned shale gas horizontal well single-stage testing mechanism 1, and mainly includes the following steps:

[0055] S1. The pressure tester 12 and the flow and holdup tester 13 are transported to a predetermined depth position of a single section of a horizontal well to be tested through a coiled tubing 3;

[0056] S2. The controller 15 controls the first electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4 and the second electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 5 to expand in the casing 2 until the space in the casing 2 between the first electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4 and the second electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 5 is sealed;

[0057] S3. Perform temperature and pressure test on a single section of a horizontal well, control the electric switch valve 14 to close by the controller 15, open the pressure tester 12, and measure the pressure and temperature data of a single section of the horizontal well test;

[0058] S4. Open the electric control switch valve 14, the gas and liquid produced by the single stage of the horizontal well test enter the coiled tubing 3 through the electric control switch valve 14, and then pass through the flow and holdup tester 13 and the screen 24 to enter the annular space formed by the coiled tubing 3 and the casing 2, and the flow and holdup tester 13 collects the flow and holdup data;

[0059] S5. After the single-segment test of the horizontal well is completed, the controller 15 controls the first electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 4 and the second electrically controlled hydraulic expansion assembly 5 to shrink and recover, drags the coiled tubing 3 to the next layer segment 25 to be tested, and then repeats steps S2 to S4 to complete the test tasks of other layers.

[0060] In summary, in the single-stage test method of the horizontal well, the controller 15 and the continuous tubing 3 equipped with the cable 16 are mainly used to control the electric-controlled hydraulic expansion assembly to isolate the target well section, and the process and method of the single-stage test are carried out by relying on the test assembly 6. The single-stage card sealing is used to perform accurate output test and single-stage temperature and pressure test, and the mutual interference between different layers is eliminated, so that the test data is more real and accurate, and the single-stage test problem of the horizontal well is effectively solved. At the same time, the test assembly 6 is transported by the continuous tubing 3 equipped with the cable 16, and the ground control of multiple unsealing and card sealing is realized, and the card sealing situation and test data situation can be monitored in real time on the ground. In addition, the design of the electric-controlled switch valve 14 realizes the opening and closing of the ground control test layer section, and can perform single-stage temperature and pressure, flow rate, holding rate and other tests. The test data can more truly reflect the situation of the single section. Through the accurate test of the single section, the output and temperature and pressure of each layer section can be accurately understood, which provides a strong basis for the optimization of the fracturing process and the adjustment of the development plan.

[0061] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
