Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to oil and gas well sampling, and in particular to an oil and gas well full reservoir sampling tester. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous deepening of oil development and the increase in water injection workload, the various oil layers produced underground have undergone great changes: formation pressure deficit; formation water content changes; formation productivity changes; the total production and water content of a single well have changed, etc. The cased well formation test sampler is an instrument designed to measure pressure and sample a single layer and grasp the dynamic changes of a single layer in a timely manner. At present, there are two types of formation testing technologies, one is oil rod formation testing and the other is cable formation testing. The construction period of oil rod formation testing is long, the labor intensity is high, the positioning operation is complex, and the safety control is poor. Cable formation testing uses a cable to transport the downhole part of the instrument to the underground, uses a natural gamma instrument to calibrate the depth and position, and then issues a command through the ground control part to enable the downhole instrument (test part and pumping part) to complete the isolation, testing and sampling of the target well section, and use temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and fluid identification sensors to monitor the formation fluid characteristics to complete the dynamic evaluation of the reservoir. However, after an oil well has been used for a period of time, blockages may appear in the oil well, which is often caused by loose rock formations. Existing sampling equipment usually cannot pass through the blocked area well and has poor passability.

The length of the connecting pipe 40 is extended, and the device is extended downward along the oil well. After reaching the specified depth, the take-up wheel rotates to drive the lifting line 36 and the uppermost sampling piston 12 to move upward for a distance. The uppermost sampling piston 12 exceeds the height of the sampling port 16 and continues to move upward until the second-layer sampling piston 12 blocks the opening of the sampling port 16. During this process, the outer oil and gas are supplemented into the gap between the first-layer sampling piston 12 and the second-layer sampling piston 12 through the sampling port 16, completing one sampling. The connecting pipe 40 is continued to be extended, and the take-up wheel is continued to be rotated, so that the oil and gas are absorbed in the gap between the second-layer sampling piston 12 and the third-layer sampling piston 12, thereby realizing the function of depth sampling. The device is under the action of gravity. The impact block 20 is pushed upward by the gas, and the air vent is opened on the lower side of the impact chute 19. Driven by the spring, the impact block 20 hits the lower wall of the impact chute 19 at high speed, and the pointed mounting portion 26 drives the pointed head 22 to drill further downward into the oil sludge, thereby driving the device to move downward. During this process, the sampling cone plate 13 rotates, and the sampling cone plate 13 drives the spiral plate 15 to rotate. The spirally distributed spiral plate 15 collects the solid matter on the outside into the sampling chamber 11.
