Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a single-well metering device and method for a multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter, belonging to the technical fields of single-well metering, multiphase flow online metering, and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance application. Background Art
[0002] Multiphase flowmeters can perform real-time online measurement of the flow rates of each phase, without separating the oil, gas, and water. Despite years of exploration, commercial multiphase flowmeters still face numerous technical bottlenecks, such as limited applicability, limited range, limited accuracy, demanding environmental requirements, radioactivity in some technologies, and high costs. These factors hinder their widespread adoption and hinder their application to single-well metering.
[0003] Magnetic resonance (MR) technology, a mainstream indoor fluid composition analysis technique, is non-invasive, environmentally friendly, efficient, and accurate. It is currently being used in industrial sites for online measurement of complex mixed-phase fluids. The multiphase flow nuclear magnetic resonance flowmeter, developed in this context, has for the first time realized the application of MR technology in oil and gas metering. However, due to its high cost, it is currently mainly used on offshore and onshore oil platforms for aggregated metering of multiple wells, rather than for single-well metering. This means that the production dynamics of each oil well cannot be monitored in real time to guide production decision-making.
[0004] Compared to platform metering, single-well metering differs from platform metering only in terms of lower flow rates. Single-well metering requires the flowmeter to be directly connected to the Christmas tree, and the produced fluid enters the flowmeter without filtration or any pretreatment. Metal debris and formation rock debris contained in the produced fluid will inevitably affect flowmeters such as electromagnetic, magnetic resonance, and gamma spectroscopy. Furthermore, 90% of terrestrial oil and gas fields are produced using pump-lift systems, meaning that production fluctuates in real time during the pump's upstroke and downstroke, necessitating a high detection frequency or a well-defined detection cycle for the flowmeter.
[0005] Therefore, providing a multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter single well metering device and method has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned shortcomings and deficiencies, an object of the present invention is to provide a multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter for single wells. The device provided by the present invention is a complex fluid flow meter suitable for installation at an oilfield production wellhead, and is applicable to industrial fields involving the measurement of flowing fluids.
[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a single-well metering method for a multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter.
[0008] In order to achieve the above objectives, on the one hand, the present invention provides a multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter single well metering device, wherein the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter single well metering device comprises:
[0009] A multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter, a grit tank, and a branch pipeline; the outlet of an oil and gas production Christmas tree at an oilfield wellhead is connected to the inlet of the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter via an inlet pipeline and a grit tank; the outlet of the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter is connected to the inlet of the Christmas tree via an outlet pipeline;
[0010] A pressure relief port and a sampling port are respectively provided on the inlet pipe between the grit chamber and the outlet of the Christmas tree;
[0011] Branch pipelines are installed at both ends of the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter, and one end of the branch pipeline is connected to the outlet valve set on the outlet pipeline, and the other end is connected to the inlet valve set on the inlet pipeline between the inlet of the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter and the sand settling tank.
[0012] As a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned device of the present invention, a pressure gauge is provided on the inlet pipeline between the grit tank and the sampling port.
[0013] As a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned device of the present invention, the sampling port is provided with a manual sampling port valve.
[0014] As a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned device of the present invention, the pressure relief port is provided with a manual unloading valve for the pressure relief port.
[0015] In the present invention, the fluid enters the device through the inlet pipeline, and sampling and pressure relief operations can be performed through the manual valve of the sampling port and the manual unloading valve of the pressure relief port; the pressure gauge can display the internal pressure of the inlet pipeline in real time; the sand settling tank is used to filter paramagnetic substances that may be carried in the fluid to prevent the paramagnetic substances from affecting the measurement results of the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter; branch pipe manifolds are installed at both ends of the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter to maintain the normal flow of the fluid in the pipeline when the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter is switched to dynamic or static measurement, wherein the dynamic and static switching of the fluid in the inlet pipeline is realized by the outlet valve and the inlet valve, thereby realizing the dynamic or static measurement of the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter.
[0016] In the present invention, the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter, sand settling tank, pressure gauge, manual valve for the sampling port and manual unloading valve for the pressure relief port are all conventional equipment and can be purchased commercially.
[0017] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter single well measurement method, wherein the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter single well measurement method comprises:
[0018] Installing a multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter single well metering device at an oil field wellhead, and connecting the inlet and outlet of the device to the outlet and inlet of an oil and gas production Christmas tree at the oil field wellhead, respectively;
[0019] Turn on the power and adjust the working modes of the outlet valve and the inlet valve to make the fluid in the inlet pipeline flow;
[0020] Automatically calibrate the pulse frequency of a multiphase magnetic resonance flowmeter so that the pulse frequency matches (i.e. is identical to) the magnet frequency;
[0021] Then, the working modes of the outlet valve and the inlet valve are adjusted to make the fluid in the inlet pipeline static, and the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter is used to perform static measurement, that is, to measure the fluid components;
[0022] The working modes of the outlet valve and the inlet valve are then adjusted to keep the fluid in the inlet pipeline in a flowing state, and the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter is used to perform dynamic measurement, that is, to measure the fluid flow rate.
[0023] Because the multiphase magnetic resonance flowmeter single-well metering device is used for single-well wellhead measurement, the multiphase magnetic resonance flowmeter operates in a field environment. To prevent the magnet temperature from fluctuating with ambient temperature, a mismatch between the pulse frequency emitted by the probe antenna and the magnet's own frequency occurs, leading to increased measurement accuracy and error in the results. Therefore, the present invention requires automatic pulse frequency correction of the multiphase magnetic resonance flowmeter before each continuous measurement cycle.
[0024] As a specific embodiment of the above method of the present invention, the automatic correction of the pulse frequency of the multiphase magnetic resonance flowmeter so that the pulse frequency matches the magnet frequency includes:
[0025] Before the start of each measurement cycle, the probe antenna of the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter transmits an FID pulse sequence, and the FID results are used to determine whether the pulse frequency matches the magnet frequency. If the two results match, a cycle of measurement begins. If the two results do not match, the pulse frequency parameters are automatically corrected until the two results match before starting a new cycle of measurement.
[0026] As a specific embodiment of the method described above, the method further includes: according to the set parameters of the oilfield wellhead pumping unit, accurately controlling the time spent on each step in the measurement cycle of the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter, such as the actuation time of the outlet valve and the inlet valve, the time for the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter to perform static measurement, and the time for the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter to perform dynamic measurement, so that the measurement frequency of the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter is consistent with the alternating frequency of the up and down strokes of the pumping unit, ensuring that the start and end time of each measurement corresponds to the position of the sucker rod unchanged. In this way, while obtaining flow data, it is possible to restore the law of the influence of the pumping unit on flow and manifold under different working conditions, creating conditions for more in-depth research in the future.
[0027] As a specific embodiment of the method described above, the measurement time required for each measurement cycle of the multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter single well metering device is calculated according to the following formula 1):
[0028] T 周 =T 静 +T 动 +2T 阀 =NT 往 Formula 1);
[0029] In formula 1), T 周 T is the measurement time required for each measurement cycle of the multiphase magnetic resonance flowmeter single well metering device, in seconds; 静 T is the static measurement time of the multiphase magnetic resonance flowmeter, in seconds; 动 T is the time for dynamic measurement of multiphase magnetic resonance flowmeter, in seconds; 阀 is the action time of the outlet valve or inlet valve, in seconds; N is an integer, in times;

[0035] In formula 3), T 往 It is the time for the pump to reciprocate once, in seconds; N1 is an integer, in times.
[0036] During the measurement process of the present invention, it is necessary to control two electric valves (i.e., the inlet valve and the outlet valve) to switch the fluid in the inlet pipeline between dynamic and static. The action time of each valve is fixed. After the valve switches to the static state, it is necessary to wait for the fluid to stabilize before starting the static measurement. The waiting time is determined according to the fluid properties. For fluids with strong fluidity, the waiting time is T1≈60s; for heavy oil, a longer waiting time T2≈300s is required. At the same time, the valve action time T 阀 Should be T 往 The relationship is an integer multiple, so the action time T of the outlet valve or inlet valve in the present invention is 阀 It can be shown as the above formula 3).
[0037] In addition, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the inlet valve and the outlet valve are the same, that is, the actuation time of the two is the same.
[0038] As a specific embodiment of the method described above, the multiphase magnetic resonance flowmeter performs static measurement for a time T 静 Calculated according to the following formula 4):
[0039] T 静 =ET 静 ×EC 静 ×Sc 静 +Sc 静 ×RT 静 =N2×T 往 Formula 4);
[0040] In formula 4), ET 静 is the echo interval, RT 静 is the magnetization time, EC 静 is the number of echoes, Sc 静 is the number of superpositions, T 往 It is the time for the pump to reciprocate once, in seconds; N2 is an integer, in times.
[0041] In the present invention, static measurement refers to the process of measuring fluid components using a multiphase magnetic resonance flowmeter. The time of static measurement is mainly related to the following parameters: echo interval ET 静 , magnetization time RT 静 , echo number EC 静 and the number of superpositions Sc 静 .
[0042] Among them, ET 静 、EC 静 Sc 静 is the instrument's inherent parameter, as shown in the above formula 4), which can be adjusted by adjusting RT 静 Change T 静 , so that T 静 T 往 Integer multiple relationship, N2 is an integer. At the same time, it should be noted that: magnetization time RT 静 Must not be less than three times the maximum longitudinal relaxation time in the fluid.
[0043] As a specific embodiment of the method described above, the multiphase magnetic resonance flowmeter performs dynamic measurement for a time T 动 Calculated according to the following formula 5) and formula 6):
[0044] T 动 =T1×FN+FN×RT 动 =N3×T 往 Formula 5);
[0045] T1=ET 动 ×EC 动 ×Sc 动 +Sc 动 ×FS≤T 单 Formula 6);
[0046] In formula 5) and formula 6), T1 is the time required for each flow measurement, in seconds, FN is the number of measurements, and T 往 is the time it takes for the pumping unit to reciprocate once, in seconds; N3 is an integer, in times;
[0047] ET 动 is the echo interval, RT 动 is the sampling interval, EC 动 is the number of echoes, Sc 动 is the number of superpositions, FS is the superposition interval; T 单 is the minimum one-way time of the pumping unit, in seconds, which is calculated according to the following formula 7);

[0049] In formula 7), S is the stroke count, which represents the number of reciprocating motions of the sucker rod of the pumping unit in 1 minute. One stroke count means that the sucker rod of the pumping unit moves up and down once per minute.
[0050] Since the time taken for the upstroke and downstroke of the pumping unit is not exactly the same, the minimum one-way time of the pumping unit can be shown as the above formula 7).
[0051] In the present invention, dynamic measurement refers to the process of measuring fluid flow using a multiphase magnetic resonance flowmeter. The time of dynamic measurement is mainly related to the following parameters: echo interval ET 动 , sampling interval RT 动 , echo number EC 动 , number of superpositions Sc 动 , the number of measurements FN and the superposition interval FS. In order to make the flow measurement frequency consistent with or faster than the pumping unit reciprocating frequency, the time required for each flow measurement can be shown as in the above formula 6). 动 、EC 动 Sc 动 It is the inherent parameter of the instrument, as shown in formula 6), and T1 can be changed by adjusting FS so that T1 is less than or equal to T 单 , thus achieving the purpose of synchronous measurement with the pumping unit. In addition, the superposition interval Therefore, the time T for dynamic measurement of multiphase flow magnetic resonance flowmeter is 动 As shown in the above formula 5), in formula 5), the number of measurements FN should be set to an even number, and the RT can be adjusted 动 Change T 动 , so that T 动 T 往 The sampling interval RT is an integer multiple of 动 >FS.
