Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a fluid mixing device, in particular to a two-phase flow uniform mixing device. Background Art
[0002] During oil production, the production profile of long horizontal wells is difficult to maintain uniformly due to factors such as the heel-toe effect, reservoir heterogeneity, reservoir anisotropy, and natural fractures. Once a water (or gas) cone forms in an oil well, the viscosity of water (or gas) is lower than that of oil, so it quickly forms a channel at the cone and enters the oil pipeline. This phenomenon is known as water (or gas) breakthrough in the oil field. Water breakthrough not only suppresses the oil production of a well itself, but also the production of other wells.
[0003] To address the problem of water (or gas) breakthrough in oilfields, scientists at home and abroad, after years of research, have developed a method for installing inflow control devices (ICDs) on the horizontal sections of horizontal well completions. The core principle of ICDs is that water, gas, and oil have different physical properties (viscosity and density), resulting in different additional pressure drops when flowing through a specifically designed device. By controlling the flow rates of water, gas, and oil, the uniformity of the inflow plane along the entire horizontal plane of the horizontal well completion is ensured.
[0004] ICDs are categorized as passive inflow control devices (PICDs) and adaptive inflow control devices (AICDs) based on whether the flow resistance rating (FRR) is constant. Because the FRR of a PICD is constant, once a water (or gas) cone forms in a horizontal completion, the low-viscosity water (or gas) will quickly fill the entire wellbore, causing a sharp drop in oil production.
[0005] However, during horizontal well production, the heel-toe effect occurs due to the different pressure drops at the heel and toe ends. This heel-toe effect gradually develops, leading to bottom water ridge intrusion. To mitigate this, various measures have been implemented, including traditional variable-density screen completion, central pipe completion, ICD (Inflow Control Device) completion, and the latest intelligent AICD (Autonomous Inflow Control Device) completion.
[0006] All of the above measures can control bottom water ridge intrusion to a certain extent. However, their application is limited because variable-density screen completions and central pipe completions cannot adjust parameters in real time based on downhole conditions, and ICD completions cannot intelligently identify oil and water.
[0007] The new intelligent AICD water control device can realize intelligent water control based on the viscosity difference between water and oil. However, the intelligent water control of AICD water control device in horizontal wells is still in its early stages.
[0008] The flow channel of a traditional AICD consists of five parts: the inlet, the main channel, the branch channel, the disc, and the outlet. A fluid with a certain flow rate enters the main channel from the inlet of the AICD. When the fluid flows through the intersection of the main channel and the branch channel, the following different situations may occur:
[0009] (1) Due to its low viscosity and high density, the oil will mostly flow into the main channel under the dominant effect of inertia. At the same time, because the fluid entering the AICD disc tangentially through the main channel has a high tangential flow velocity, it will rotate tangentially about the outlet center inside the AICD disc and accelerate rapidly as it approaches the center outlet, causing the pressure loss inside the AICD disc to increase. Under the condition of constant inlet pressure, the flow rate at the AICD outlet will decrease.
[0010] (2) Similarly, oil with little or no water seepage will flow into the branch channel due to its high viscosity and low density, driven primarily by viscous forces. Fluid flowing radially into the AICD disc through the branch channel has no rotational inertia about the outlet center and therefore flows easily out of the outlet, resulting in minimal pressure loss through the AICD. Given the same inlet-outlet pressure differential, the flow rate at the AICD outlet will increase.
[0011] The above is the working principle of AICD. By suppressing water flow and ensuring stable oil flow, it achieves the effect of suppressing water and increasing oil production, thereby suppressing water breakthrough in oil wells.
[0012] AICD is mainly used in horizontal wells as the only channel for crude oil to enter the oil pipeline from the formation. To meet the demand for crude oil production, multiple AICD pup joints are often installed in the horizontal section.
[0013] Please refer to Figures 1(1) to (3) for the existing AICD pup joint structure and its CC and DD cross-sectional views. The arrows indicate the flow direction, and three AICDs 800 are installed in the cross section of this example pup joint.
[0014] In the figure, an annular space is usually formed between the horizontal section casing 801 and the base pipe 802 of the AICD short section. Once crude oil enters the annular space, oil-water stratification is very likely to occur. As shown in the DD cross-sectional view of Figure 1 (3), the oil with low density and large volume will be stratified on the water with high density and small volume. This causes the AICD 800 at different positions to face fluids with different properties. As shown in the CC cross-sectional view of Figure 1 (2), the AICD 800 at the 12 o'clock position is in the open state, while the AICD 800 at the 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions are in the closed state. Therefore, the normal functions of all AICDs cannot be exerted.
[0015] In view of the above problems, there is an urgent need for a mixing device to fully mix the stratified water and oil before the crude oil enters the AICD, so that the AICDs at different positions can play a role. Summary of the Invention

[0078] Example 1
[0079] See Figure 2(1) and 2(2) , are schematic structural diagrams of the mixing guide body 12 and the guide sleeve 11 in the first preferred embodiment of the device of the present invention, and FIG2 (3) is a schematic three-dimensional structural diagram of the guide body 12.
[0080] The two-phase flow uniform mixing device of the present invention includes a flow guide body 12, and the mixing and perturbation unit is shown in Figure 2 (1); Figure 2 (2) schematically shows a flow guide sleeve 11, which is a hollow cylindrical body and is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the flow guide body 12. The two can be separated into two independent components or can be an integrated structure.
[0081] Please further refer to the structure of the mixing and disturbing unit 12 of the guide body shown in Figure 2 (1).
[0082] Among them, the mixing turbulence unit guide body 12 includes a hollow cylindrical body 120, and a mixing turbulence unit 125 on its outer circumferential surface. The mixing turbulence unit 125 in this embodiment includes upper and lower sections of continuous protrusions similar to external threads, thereby forming two front and rear flow channels, respectively called the liquid inlet part 121 and the mixing part 122.
[0083] During use, two-phase liquids such as oil and water axially enter the flow channel formed by the flow guide body 12 and the flow guide sleeve 11, enter from the liquid inlet 121, and then enter the mixing section 122, which is located on the flow channel at the rear end of the liquid inlet 121.
[0084] In the above embodiment, the flow passages of the liquid inlet portion 121 and the flow mixing portion 122 are in the form of external threads, but this structure is not limited to this structure, as long as a flow passage can be formed and a closed flow passage can be formed between the mixing and flow guiding sleeve 11 .
[0085] It should be noted that the flow channel of the liquid inlet portion 121 is provided with a plurality of flow channel inlets 123 at its inlet end. Usually, the number N of the flow channel inlets is greater than or equal to 3, so as to facilitate the entry of more two-phase liquids, such as oil and water. The more flow channel inlets 123 there are, the more uniform the sampling is.
[0086] As shown in the figure, the flow area of the mixing portion 122 is: a×b, which is 100 to 150 square millimeters. Under these conditions, sufficient shear force can be generated, and the oil and water are fully mixed to form an oil-water mixture.
[0087] In addition, in the preferred embodiment, a primary mixing section 124 may be provided between the liquid inlet 121 and the mixing section 122. The primary mixing section 124 is used to initially mix and transition the two-phase liquid entering from the liquid inlet 121 before the liquid enters the mixing section 122 at the rear end. The primary mixing section 124 is formed by the space between the hollow cylindrical body 120 and the flow guide jacket 11.
[0088] Figure 3 It is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the device shown in Figure 2 applied to the AICD flow channel system.
[0089] The two-phase flow uniform mixing device of the present invention is installed between the AICD valve seat 21 and the AICD outer sheath 22. A and B represent two phases of flow, corresponding to two fluids with different physical properties. In oilfield applications, A represents the lighter oil layer and B represents the denser water layer. Before entering the device, the two liquids are clearly separated.
[0090] When the oil and water enter the balanced mixing device through the liquid inlet 121 in layers, the liquid inlet 121 is provided with a plurality of flow channel inlets 123 at the inlet, so that more fluids can enter the device.
[0091] Afterwards, the oil A and water B enter the primary mixing section 124 and are preliminarily mixed in this independent space.
[0092] Then, it enters the flow channel of the mixing section 122. Since the flow area of the mixing channel meets certain conditions, that is, the area is between 100 and 150 square millimeters, a sufficiently large shear force can be generated to achieve sufficient mixing of the two-phase flow. In this way, the oil and water are fully mixed after passing through this device.
[0093] After the oil-water mixture flows out of the two-phase flow uniform mixing device, it returns to the AICD device through the AICD inlet 23 shown in the figure. To avoid the mixture from separating again, the flow path between the mixture outlet and the AICD inlet 23 is as small as possible.
[0094] The device of the present invention is usually made of 316L stainless steel, but other materials can be used according to the properties of different liquids.
[0095] Example 2
[0096] Figure 4 It is a schematic structural diagram of the mixing spoiler unit in the second preferred embodiment of the device of the present invention.
[0097] The flow guide body 12 of this embodiment also includes a hollow cylindrical body 120 , on the outer circumference of which a plurality of flow channels are provided.
[0098] Different from Example 1, the mixing turbulence unit 125 is composed of a plurality of discontinuous spiral protrusions, and a flow channel outlet 126 is formed between two adjacent spiral protrusions, which together with the main flow channel 127 formed between two spaced spiral protrusions constitute the turbulence flow channel of the device.
[0099] When the two-phase flow enters the device according to the arrow direction A, the oil and water are fully mixed through the flow channel between the flow disturbance units 125, and then flows out of the device from the arrow direction A' and is Figure 3 The AICD entry 23 returns to the AICD system.
[0100] Example 3
[0101] Figure 5 It is a structural diagram of the mixing spoiler unit in the third preferred embodiment of the device of the present invention.
[0102] Similar to the second embodiment, the flow guide body 12 also includes a hollow cylindrical body 120 , on the outer circumference of which a plurality of flow channels are provided.
[0103] In this embodiment, the mixing turbulence unit 125 is composed of a plurality of concave annular bodies and convex annular bodies arranged in parallel on the circumferential surface of the hollow cylindrical body 120. At least one flow channel outlet 126 is opened on the convex annular body, which together with the main body flow channel 127 formed between the concave bodies constitute the turbulent flow channel of this device.
[0104] When the two-phase flow enters the device according to the arrow direction A, the oil and water are fully mixed through the flow channel between the flow disturbance units 125, and then flows out of the device from the arrow direction A' and is Figure 3 The AICD entry 23 returns to the AICD system.
[0105] Example 4
[0106] Figure 6 It is a structural diagram of the mixing spoiler unit in the fourth preferred embodiment of the device of the present invention.
[0107] In this embodiment, the mixing and turbulent flow unit 125 that encloses the flow channel is more complex than previous designs, consisting of a combination of multiple spaced-apart convex annular bodies and axially arranged convex line segments. These combined designs share the same principle: the mixing and turbulent flow unit 125 is designed on the circumferential surface of the flow guide body 120, with a flow channel outlet provided, which together with the main flow channel form the turbulent flow channel of the entire device.
[0108] Example 5
[0109] Figure 7 It is a structural diagram of the mixing spoiler unit in the fifth preferred embodiment of the device of the present invention.
[0110] In the figure, the mixing turbulence unit 125 and the hollow cylindrical body 120 are in a separate structure, and are coaxially sleeved on the outer circumference of the hollow cylindrical body 120. Several grooves are opened in the same direction on the mixing turbulence unit 125 to form the main body flow channel 127. The main body flow channel 127 and the space between the two mixing turbulence units 125 constitute the turbulence flow channel of the entire device.
[0111] It should be noted that, under the improved concept of the present invention, it is also possible to fill the outer circumferential surface of the flow guide body 120 with a spoiler, which also achieves the effect of uniformly mixing the two-phase flow.
[0112] Example 6
[0113] Figure 8It is a structural diagram of the mixing spoiler unit in the sixth preferred embodiment of the device of the present invention.
[0114] The structure of this embodiment is similar to that of embodiment 2. The mixing turbulence unit 125 that forms the flow channel is composed of a number of discontinuous spiral segments. A number of turbulence protrusions 128 are also arranged between the flow channel outlets 126 between two adjacent turbulence units 125, which together with the main flow channel 127 formed between two adjacent mixing turbulence units 125 constitute the turbulence flow channel of this device.
[0115] According to laboratory test data and simulation calculation comparison, the two-phase flow uniform mixing device of the present invention has achieved the expected effect during the design. Under the premise of a certain flow rate, the oil and water are fully mixed, and the mixing rate reaches more than 85%, which fully meets the requirements of AICD use in underground wells. It also has the following advantages:
[0116] First, it solves the problem of oil and water stratification in the annular space and promotes the full mixing of oil and water in the entire annular space;
[0117] Second, ensure that AICDs at different locations can all play their role in controlling water and increasing oil production, and prevent AICDs at low positions from being shut down for long periods of time, thereby increasing AICD utilization efficiency.
[0118] Third, it improves the oil recovery efficiency of the entire horizontal well;
[0119] Fourth, the number of AICDs installed is reduced, lowering costs.
