Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of geothermal energy development logging technology, specifically to a geothermal well temperature measurement sub. Background Technology
[0002] Geothermal energy is a clean and renewable energy source. Currently, the technology of forming a closed-loop heat exchange in the well by installing buried pipe heat exchangers has overcome the problems of limited land area for shallow geothermal energy and difficulties in water intake and reinjection for deep hydrothermal energy, and has become a new mainstream technology for the development of medium and deep geothermal energy.
[0003] Medium-deep geothermal technology primarily involves heat transfer through contact between an external heat exchanger and the surrounding soil and rock mass, with an internal insulated pipe for hot fluid output. Energy transfer occurs through the heat exchange station, forming a cycle. This complex, unsteady-state heat transfer process occurs between the fluid within the heat exchanger, the pipe wall, and the surrounding soil and rock. The heat transfer characteristics are significantly influenced by the thermophysical parameters of the soil and rock mass and the geothermal field. Geothermal field characteristics include the initial geothermal field, the dynamic temperature changes of the surrounding soil and rock mass during heat exchange, and the temperature field recovery after heat exchange ceases. Monitoring the geothermal field of medium-deep geothermal wells mainly involves long-term dynamic temperature measurement using temperature sensors installed on the inner and outer pipe walls of the buried pipe heat exchanger within the well. Conventional temperature sensors include thermocouple sensors, thermistor sensors, resistance temperature sensors (RTDs), analog temperature sensors, digital temperature sensors, and distributed fiber optic sensors. Due to accuracy and technical limitations, distributed fiber optic sensors and digital temperature sensors are more commonly used in medium-deep geothermal wells, with digital temperature sensors offering higher measurement accuracy. Currently, temperature measurement technology for medium-deep geothermal wells deeper than 2000m is still immature, with numerous failure cases. This is mainly due to the complex process of installing the temperature measurement system downhole. During the lowering of the temperature measurement cable, which is externally mounted on the pipe wall, collisions and friction with the surrounding rock mass and annular sidewalls, as well as uneven stress during connection with the downhole pipeline, easily cause damage to the cable, leading to installation failure of the geothermal field monitoring system and the inability to complete geothermal temperature monitoring. Furthermore, the temperature sensors or optical fibers need to be placed in a closed underground heat transfer medium for extended periods, requiring extremely high levels of resistance to high temperatures, high pressures, corrosion, oxidation, hydrogen loss, magnetic field interference, radiation, insulation, and sealing.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, a geothermal well temperature measurement sub is invented. By designing and installing internal and external temperature sensors on the sub, the temperature of the inner and outer pipes of the buried pipe heat exchanger can be measured. The sensors are in close contact with the temperature measurement point, and the temperature sensor wires and information transmission bus are also buried inside the sub and protected by the external air duct of the sub, eliminating the possibility of damage to the temperature measurement cables during the lowering and installation process. Furthermore, the sub forms an integral structure with the heat exchanger, and the sub also has good thermal insulation performance, making the temperature measurement less affected by the underground environment and resulting in higher measurement accuracy.
