Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the industrial links of oil exploitation, gathering and transportation, fracturing and oil testing, there are a large number of complex multiphase fluids that need to be detected. These complex fluids are mainly composed of three different components, i.e. crude oil, formation water and natural gas. In addition, due to the needs of industrial production, the multiphase flow often maintains a continuous flow state, which needs to be detected online. This brings great difficulty to the quantitative detection of phase content, which means that the traditional method relying on relaxation spectrum and diffusion spectrum for phase content measurement is no longer applicable.

[0003] The existing detection method periodically (once a day or even longer) samples the multiphase flow to be detected, and then separates the layers based on the density difference of each component by natural sedimentation or centrifugation, and then measures. The disadvantages of this method are obvious: (1) the fluid flow state needs to be blocked for sampling (hinders production); (2) the sample after detection is discarded, causing pollution; (3) the sampling process needs time to detect in the laboratory, causing the detection data to lag and low efficiency; (4) the change of sample temperature and pressure during the sampling process may cause the change of its physical parameters, and the measurement result cannot reflect the real data of the fluid in the pipeline.

[0004] The application of nuclear magnetic resonance technology in the quantitative detection of complex fluids is very mature, and it is outstanding among other technologies due to its advantages of accuracy, greenness and safety. However, the current nuclear magnetic resonance detection technology of complex fluids also relies on sampling measurement, that is, it cannot be used for online measurement of flowing fluid.

[0025] The embodiment of the present application provides a kind of detection method of multiphase flow phase content rate, and the present application is applicable to all laboratory and engineering application fields involved in (three-phase and within) multiphase flow phase content rate online measurement.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] At present, the existing detection method of multiphase flow phase content rate involves online detection of phase content rate of oil-gas-water three-phase flow, mainly detects phase content rate according to the relaxation time difference of each component of three-phase flow. This technical solution cannot distinguish oil-gas-water three-phase, especially the relaxation time difference between oil and water, but the reality is that the relaxation time of light oil is close to water, and the relaxation time of fracturing fluid is close to medium and heavy oil, so this technical solution has limitations.

[0028] As Figure 1 The flow chart of the detection method of multiphase flow phase content rate in the embodiment of the present application is shown, and the method shown in the figure includes:

[0029] Step S1, sampling the multiphase flow to be measured to obtain a multiphase flow sample, and three-phase separation of oil, gas and water in the multiphase flow sample.

[0030] Among them, the multiphase flow to be measured is sampled, and then oil, gas and water are separated by standing or centrifugation. The gas in the multiphase flow sample is natural gas.

[0031] Step S2, nuclear magnetic resonance is performed on pure water and water and oil in the multiphase flow sample respectively to obtain the first amplitude value of the corresponding free decay signal, and the hydrogen content index corresponding to water and oil in the multiphase flow sample is determined by using the first amplitude value.

[0032] Among them, nuclear magnetic resonance is performed on pure water and water and oil in the multiphase flow sample by using a multiphase flow nuclear magnetic resonance flowmeter, and the first amplitude value of the free decay (FID) signal is measured. Further, the ratio of the FID first amplitude value of the oil and water sample to the FID first amplitude value of the pure water reagent is the hydrogen content index of the oil and water.

[0033] Step S3, diffusion editing pulse sequence is applied to water and oil in the multiphase flow sample to obtain the diffusion coefficient corresponding to water and oil in the multiphase flow sample.

[0034] The diffusion editing pulse sequence is applied to the oil and water samples in the multiphase flow sample, and the diffusion coefficients of the oil and water are measured.

[0035] In step S4, the pulse sequence with variable echo spacing is used to pulse the multiphase flow to be measured to obtain echo signals, and the phase fractions of the oil, gas and water in the multiphase flow to be measured are determined according to the echo signals, the hydrogen index and the diffusion coefficient.

[0036] In step S4, the pulse sequence with variable echo spacing is used to pulse the multiphase flow to be measured to obtain echo signals, and the phase fractions of the oil, gas and water in the multiphase flow to be measured are determined according to the echo signals, the hydrogen index and the diffusion coefficient.

[0037] As an embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises: using the phase fractions of the oil, gas and water to carry out oil extraction, gathering and transportation, fracturing and oil testing. For example, in oil extraction, the oil content in the liquid phase can be used to understand the reservoir dynamic state and guide the optimization of the extraction strategy; in the gathering and transportation stage, the water content can be used to guide the water mixing operation; in the fracturing and oil testing stage, the gas content, water content and oil content are dynamically changing, and real-time monitoring is very important for accurately grasping the fracturing effect and evaluating the production capacity.

[0038] As an embodiment of the present application, the three-phase separation of the oil, gas and water in the multiphase flow sample comprises: using the static method or the centrifugal technology to separate the oil, gas and water in the multiphase flow sample into three single-phase fluids.

[0039] As an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 As an embodiment of the present application, as shown in

[0040] In step S21, the pure water and the water and oil in the multiphase flow sample are respectively put into test containers; the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the test containers are the same as the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the fluid pipe of the multiphase flow nuclear magnetic resonance flowmeter, and the length of the test containers is greater than the length of the antenna of the multiphase flow nuclear magnetic resonance flowmeter.

[0041] In step S21, the pure water and the water and oil in the multiphase flow sample are respectively put into test containers; the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the test containers are the same as the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the fluid pipe of the multiphase flow nuclear magnetic resonance flowmeter, and the length of the test containers is greater than the length of the antenna of the multiphase flow nuclear magnetic resonance flowmeter.

[0042] Step S22, placing the test container in the detection area of the multiphase flow NMR flowmeter, and measuring the first amplitude value of the free induction signal corresponding to water and oil in the pure water and the multiphase flow sample.

[0043] The three test containers are respectively placed in the detection area of the multiphase flow NMR flowmeter, and the first amplitude value of the free induction (FID) signal is measured. The FID signal is a continuous decay signal, and the maximum amplitude value at the beginning of the decay is the first amplitude value. The ratio of the FID first amplitude value of oil and water to the FID first amplitude value of pure water is the hydrogen index of oil and water. The hydrogen index of natural gas is proportional to the pressure in the pipe, which can be obtained by looking up the table. A pressure gauge can be installed on the NMR pipeline to read the pressure in the pipe in real time.

[0044] In this embodiment, the hydrogen index of water and oil in the multiphase flow sample is determined by using the first amplitude value, which includes:

[0045] According to the ratio of the first amplitude value of the free induction signal of water in the multiphase flow sample to the first amplitude value of the free induction signal of the pure water, the hydrogen index of water in the multiphase flow sample is determined.

[0046] According to the ratio of the first amplitude value of the free induction signal of oil in the multiphase flow sample to the first amplitude value of the free induction signal of the pure water, the hydrogen index of oil in the multiphase flow sample is determined.

[0047] As an embodiment of the present application, the pulsed emission of the measured multiphase flow by using the variable echo interval pulse sequence includes:

[0048] The measured multiphase flow is connected to the fluid pipe of the multiphase flow NMR flowmeter, so that the measured multiphase flow continuously flows under the probe of the multiphase flow NMR flowmeter. The pulsed emission of the measured multiphase flow by using the variable echo interval pulse sequence includes twice pulsed emission with different half echo intervals, and the obtained echo signal includes the first echo signal and the second echo signal.

[0049] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The pulsed emission of the measured multiphase flow by using the variable echo interval pulse sequence includes:

[0050] Step S31, pulsed emission of the measured multiphase flow by using a 90-degree pulse and an 180-degree pulse separated by a first half echo interval, to obtain the first amplitude value and the first echo signal;

[0051] Step S32, pulsed emission of the measured multiphase flow by using a 90-degree pulse and an 180-degree pulse separated by a second half echo interval, to obtain the second echo signal.

[0052] Wherein, the pulse sequence used in the first scan is composed of a 90° pulse and a 180° pulse. The 90° pulse excites to generate a FID signal, the first amplitude of the FID signal is scanned, the 180° pulse is emitted after the first half echo interval, and then the first echo signal is collected after the first half echo interval. Then, the second scan is performed. The pulse sequence of the second scan is also composed of a 90° pulse and a 180° pulse, the difference is that the second half echo interval is used to collect the second echo signal.

[0053] In the embodiment, determining the phase content rates of oil, gas and water in the measured multiphase flow according to the echo signal, hydrogen index and diffusion coefficient comprises:

The pre-scale method needs to be sampled to detect the basic parameters of the multiphase flow; the official measurement method only needs two times of fast scanning with variable echo intervals to quickly obtain the phase fractions of the multiphase flow, and the process can be repeated. The method makes up for the deficiency that oil and water cannot be distinguished in individual application scenarios by using the difference in the relaxation time, and realizes quantitative evaluation of the content of different fluid components based on the difference in the diffusion coefficients of the components of the fluid. The main carrier of the implementation of the present application is a multiphase flow nuclear magnetic resonance flowmeter, but is not limited to the device. On the hardware, there is a uniform gradient magnetic field (magnetic field gradient G) region in the static magnetic field generated by the nuclear magnetic resonance probe, and the detection antenna is placed in the uniform gradient magnetic field region.

The FID signal scan has an initial amplitude of M(0), and after a half-echo interval τ1, a 180° pulse is emitted. Then, after τ1, the echo signal M(2τ1) is acquired. Then, a second scan is performed. The pulse sequence for the second scan also consists of a 90° pulse and a 180° pulse, but this time with a half-echo interval τ2, and the echo signal M(2τ2) is acquired. Finally, the phase content S is derived using the following formula. 油 S 水 S 气 .
