Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of well geophysics and well logging, and in particular relates to a downhole fluid optical fiber monitoring system and a monitoring method based on a composite material continuous pipe. Background Art
[0002] At present, armored optical cables are laid inside and outside the casing, bundled on the outside of the coiled tubing or gas pipe, or laid inside the coiled tubing for full-well distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) and distributed temperature sensing (DTS) measurements. This has been widely used in oil and gas resource development. However, it is currently mainly used for DAS-VSP data acquisition, microseismic monitoring, passive seismic data acquisition, and well temperature measurement.
[0003] However, laying permanent armored optical cables outside metal casings faces problems such as difficult construction operations, high costs, difficulty in detecting the position of optical cables, and immature underground avoidance technology, which leads to the armored optical cables being cut during perforation operations. The armored optical cables laid in the casing can only be used for temporary data collection. Because the armored optical cables laid in the casing will affect or interfere with other operations in the well, it is impossible to lay the armored optical cables in the casing for a long time for monitoring operations. Although laying armored optical cables in continuous oil pipes can be used for microseismic monitoring and production profile measurement of horizontal well sections, it can only be temporary. It is impossible to lay continuous oil pipes with built-in armored optical cables in horizontal wells for a long time without affecting the production of oil and gas in the well. Therefore, we urgently need to lay a safe, low-cost, long-term, stable, reliable, and non-destructive optical fiber measurement and monitoring system in the well that does not interfere with underground operations and oil and gas production. Summary of the invention

[0074] The straight optical fiber 8 and the spiral optical fiber 9 in this embodiment are both bare optical fibers that are resistant to high temperatures and hydrogen damage.
[0075] In this embodiment, by real-time monitoring and measurement of the fluid noise data, temperature data and fluid pressure data inside and outside the downhole continuous pipe body 3 by the straight optical fiber 8, the liquid production or gas production profile or water absorption or gas absorption profile and its changes of the oil and gas production wells can be calculated and monitored, so as to realize long-term real-time dynamic monitoring of the oil and gas production wells, and provide indispensable means, systems and methods for scientific management of oil and gas reservoirs and improving recovery rates.
[0076] By real-time monitoring and measurement of temperature data and three-component stress data inside and outside the coiled pipe body 3 by the spiral optical fiber 9, the real three-component stress data distribution after eliminating the temperature influence can be obtained, and then a three-dimensional stress field model is established based on the real three-component stress data distribution diagram, so as to optimize the design of the perforation position and fracturing section of the downhole coiled pipe body 3. By real-time monitoring and measurement of three-component microseismic 11 data by the spiral optical fiber 9, the three-component microseismic 11 data in the formation around the coiled pipe can be recorded, so as to timely adjust and optimize the fracturing parameters according to the distribution characteristics of the three-component microseismic data in the underground three-dimensional space, and optimize the design of the well spacing and segment spacing of the multi-branch horizontal well.
[0077] Specifically, the composite modem 10 includes a DAS signal input terminal, a DTS signal input terminal, a DSS signal input terminal and a DPS signal input terminal;

[0079] Specifically, the spiral optical fiber 9 includes a spiral single-mode optical fiber and a spiral multi-mode optical fiber, the spiral single-mode optical fiber is connected to the DAS and DSS signal input ends, and the spiral multi-mode optical fiber is connected to the DTS signal input end;
[0080] The spiral single-mode optical fiber is used for real-time monitoring and measurement of three-component stress data outside the continuous pipe body 3, three-component microseismic 11 data in the formation around the continuous pipe body 3, and time-shifted three-component in-well seismic data;
[0081] The spiral multimode optical fiber is used to monitor and measure the temperature data inside and outside the continuous tube body 3 in real time.
[0082] Specifically, the spiral single-mode optical fiber includes three groups of spiral single-mode optical fibers with different spiral angles, and the spiral multimode optical fiber includes three groups of spiral multimode optical fibers with different spiral angles. The three spiral angles of the spiral single-mode optical fiber and the spiral multimode optical fiber are 30 degrees, 45 degrees and 60 degrees.
[0083] In this embodiment, three groups of spiral single-mode optical fibers and spiral multimode optical fibers with different spiral angles are selected. When real-time monitoring and measurement of three-component stress signals, three-component microseismic events, and three-component wellbore seismic signals are performed, the spiral angle optical fiber with the best real-time monitoring and measurement effect can be selected for recording and calculation, so that the spiral optical fiber 9 in this system can achieve better monitoring and measurement effects for three-component stress signals, three-component microseismic events, and three-component wellbore seismic signals.
[0084] Embodiment 2:
[0085] Based on the above embodiments, specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5 , and also includes a regularly excited artificial seismic source 12, which is set on the ground. The time-shifted three-component wellbore seismic data regularly excited by the artificial seismic source 12 are collected through a spiral single-mode optical fiber and a composite modem 10.
[0086] Specifically, Figure 5, and also includes a detector 13 for collecting ground seismic data. The detector 13 is arranged on the ground in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional manner. When the detector 13 is used to collect conventional ground seismic data or time-shifted ground seismic data, conventional three-component wellbore seismic data or time-shifted three-component wellbore seismic data is collected through a spiral single-mode optical fiber at the same time, thereby realizing well-ground joint three-dimensional exploration.
[0087] Specifically, Figure 1 The continuous tube body 3 includes a core material 2 and a protective layer 1, and the straight optical fiber 8 and the spiral optical fiber 9 are both embedded between the core material 2 and the protective layer 1. The straight optical fiber 8 is arranged parallel to the axis of the continuous tube body 3, and the spiral optical fiber 9 is wound on the core material 2 according to different spiral angles.
[0088] Specifically, the continuous pipe body 3 is formed by, but not limited to, any of the following methods:

Subsequently, straight optical fibers 8 and wound spiral optical fibers 9, power cables, auxiliary heating cables, signal lines, etc. are continuously laid axially, and then a thermosetting fiberglass layer is laid in the circumferential direction as a fiber reinforcement layer by a fiber winding method. Finally, a thermosetting or thermoplastic resin-rich layer is coated on the surface of the pipe as an outer protective layer to form a smooth and flat surface appearance.
[0097] In this embodiment, by setting up an artificial seismic source 12 and a detector 13 on the ground, conventional ground seismic data can be collected separately, and conventional three-component well seismic data can be collected simultaneously (conventional well-ground joint production); when the artificial seismic source 12 is stimulated, conventional three-component well seismic data or time-shifted three-component well seismic data can be collected separately, and time-shifted three-component well seismic data can be collected simultaneously with time-shifted ground seismic data (time-shifted well-ground joint production), thereby realizing well-ground time-shifted combined stereoscopic exploration and monitoring of the dynamic changes of underground oil-water two-phase or oil-gas-water three-phase fluid interfaces.
