Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of single-tube layered polymer injection technology, specifically to an electro-hydraulic integrated layered polymer injection device, tubing, and method of use. Background Technology
[0002] To improve polymer injection efficiency, enhance displacement effects, and reduce inter-layer interference, polymer injection wells need to be subdivided for injection. Currently, the main stratified polymer injection technologies include concentric dual-tube stratified polymer injection and hollow single-tube stratified polymer injection. Concentric dual-tube stratified polymer injection strings use two independent injection channels, basically meeting the field requirements for stratified polymer injection. However, because concentric dual-tube strings can only inject up to two layers, and the initial investment cost is relatively high, large-scale promotion in various oilfields is limited. With continuous technological development, the hollow single-tube stratified polymer injection technology has been continuously improved in recent years, resulting in pre-installed cable direct-control electrically controlled stratified polymer injection strings and concentric adjustable single-tube stratified polymer injection strings, etc. The former achieves real-time monitoring of pre- and post-injection pressures without the need for instrument tripping during testing, direct surface reading of flow rate, direct control, and no-trace testing. Although it achieves no-trace testing, the lifespan of electronic components is difficult to guarantee. Furthermore, the adjustment using the polymer injector's internal downhole motor has low self-adjustment torque, making it difficult to adjust in the later stages of polymer injection. The latter injection volume adjustment mechanism has a spiral lifting and lowering injection core to adjust the injection volume of the polymer pressure reduction and adhesion retention mechanism; the polymer pressure reduction and adhesion retention mechanism has a shuttle-shaped wave injection channel with pressure reduction and adhesion retention characteristics; the injection core has sufficient inner diameter to ensure the operation of profile testing and other operations. However, relying solely on the lowering and adjusting instrument for testing and adjustment, especially in the later stage of polymer injection, when a lot of polymer adheres to the wellbore, it is very easy to cause the instrument to not be lowered into place or to be unable to be adjusted, resulting in a low success rate of testing and adjustment.
[0003] Chinese Patent 201710028171.9 discloses a large-capacity single-tube layered polymer injection adjustable device, including a testing and adjustment tool introduction mechanism, an injection volume adjustment mechanism, and a polymer pressure reduction and adhesion retention mechanism. The testing and adjustment tool introduction mechanism has a guiding and positioning function; the injection volume adjustment mechanism has a spirally lifting and lowering injection core to adjust the injection volume of the polymer pressure reduction and adhesion retention mechanism; the polymer pressure reduction and adhesion retention mechanism has a spindle-shaped wave injection channel with pressure reduction and adhesion retention characteristics; the injection core has a sufficient inner diameter to ensure the conduct of profile testing and other operations, and the layered polymer injection testing and adjustment working cylinder has a bridge-type channel, so that when testing is carried out in the current layer, it does not affect the polymer injection of other layers. It has the characteristics of large injection volume, good adhesion retention, and adjustable injection volume, realizing multi-segment injection of single-tube layered polymer injection testing and adjustment, solving the current difficulties faced by layered polymer injection in offshore oilfields, and effectively improving polymer utilization and oil displacement effect. However, this process requires the lowering of instruments, especially in the later stage of polymer injection, due to the inner wall structure of the tubing or polymer adhesion, it is difficult to lower the testing and adjustment instruments, ultimately leading to testing and adjustment failure.
[0004] Chinese Patent 202010328374.1 discloses a pre-installed cable direct-control electrically controlled layered polymer injection process string and method. It relates to the field of layered polymer injection well technology, and particularly to a pre-installed cable direct-control electrically controlled layered polymer injection process string and method. The string includes a casing containing tubing. The annulus between the casing and tubing is divided into different layers by several cable-passing washable packers. A single-core steel cable passes through these cable-passing washable packers. A flow-direct reading downhole electrically controlled polymer injector is installed between adjacent packers. The injection volume of the flow-direct reading downhole electrically controlled polymer injector is controlled by a surface controller. The flow-direct reading downhole electrically controlled polymer injector contains two pressure sensors and an electromagnetic flowmeter. The provided polymer injection process string and method allow the surface control device to power and communicate with the downhole flow-direct reading electrically controlled polymer injector via a single-core steel cable. This enables interactive monitoring between the surface and the well, achieving real-time monitoring of flow rate, pre- and post-injection pressure without the need for instrument tripping during testing. While this process eliminates the need for drop-and-retrieve testing, the built-in motor torque is relatively low, making it difficult to achieve prolonged downhole adjustments.
[0005] How to control single-tube multi-layered polymer injection has become a challenge for polymer injection developers. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on single-tube multi-layered polymer injection design to improve the effective utilization of this type of reservoir. Summary of the Invention

The body has multiple axial channels, namely a main channel 2041, an electrical control mechanism channel 2047, a hydraulic pressure channel 2048, and a cable passage channel 2044. The PLC main board, testing device, and motor are also included.

The middle connector is threaded to the lower connecting pipe. The middle connector is threaded to the middle connecting body 212. The retaining ring 213 fixes the sealing component 214 inside the piston 216. The connecting rod 219 is threaded to the piston. The connecting rod is threaded to the movable water nozzle 221. The water nozzle adopts a multi-stage corrugated pipe form, which improves the polymer viscosity retention rate and flow resistance.

The upper outer sleeve and the middle outer sleeve 220 are threaded to each other. The middle outer sleeve and the lower outer sleeve 225 are threaded to each other.

[0054] The rubber rings are provided between the upper connector and the pressure cap, between the lower connecting rod and the middle connector, between the middle connecting body and the upper outer sleeve, between the connecting rod and the piston, between the upper outer sleeve and the middle outer sleeve, and between the middle outer sleeve and the lower outer sleeve.
[0055] The sealing gasket 227 is provided between the movable water nozzle and the lower connector;
[0056] The sealing assembly includes a copper ring 2141, a polytetrafluoroethylene (graphite) layer 2142, and a high-hardness rubber ring 2143;
[0057] The upper part of the main body includes a main channel 2041, a main circuit connector 2042, a hydraulic pressure connector 2043, and a cable passage channel 2044, with each channel arranged axially parallel.
[0058] The body section is provided with a pressure inner channel 2045 and a plug 2046. The pressure inner channel connects the motor and the corresponding electrical control mechanism channel 2047 of the hydraulic pressure connector. Each channel is vertically aligned. The hydraulic oil pumped by the motor needs to be input from channel 2043, and finally the hydraulic oil is pressurized to the input end of the lower device.
[0059] The main connector of the circuit is connected to the PLC main board 205, and the PLC main board is also connected to the control and testing device 206 and the motor 207.
[0060] The testing device includes, but is not limited to, temperature sensors and flow sensors;
[0061] The motor can transmit the power fluid in the downhole hydraulic pack to the piston chamber at the lower end through the pressure connector and pressure pipeline. At the same time, sealing material is placed in the motor part to prevent the power fluid from flowing up to the PLC main board and testing device at the upper end.
[0062] The connecting rod has a step at its outer end, and a sealing assembly is provided between the connecting rod and the movable water nozzle; the diameter of the sealing surface between the connecting rod and the movable water nozzle is larger than the diameter of the sealing surface between the central body and the piston.

[0064] An anti-backflow mechanism is incorporated to reduce the risk of polymer clogging the nozzle. The anti-backflow mechanism includes a lower spring 222, a valve 223, and a support sleeve 224. When injection stops, the valve moves downward under the action of the spring, blocking the injection port. When injection occurs, the valve moves upward under pressure, compressing the spring and opening the injection port to allow polymer injection.
[0065] Example 3:
[0066] like Figures 1 to 6During routine injection, commands are sent to the electro-hydraulic integrated stratified polymer injection device via armored cables through the ground display and control cabinet. When the downhole electro-hydraulic integrated stratified polymer injection device receives the command, it starts the motor. The power fluid is transmitted to the piston chamber through the pressure joint and pressure pipeline, pushing the piston down, compressing the spring, and driving the connecting rod and movable nozzle down. The flow rate is adjusted by adjusting the gap between the movable nozzle and the lower joint. When the preset flow rate is reached, the motor automatically stops, completing the adjustment of the layer. The polymer flows from the tubing through the gap of the movable nozzle at the bottom of the electro-hydraulic integrated stratified polymer injection device, pushing the valve, compressing the lower spring, and realizing the polymer flowing out from the injection port to the formation. The motor stops working, and the nozzle stops moving.
[0067] Taking three-layer polymer injection as an example, the specific flow rate adjustment method is as follows: based on the geological injection plan, the test data from the downhole flow sensor is transmitted to the PLC mainboard. After judgment and analysis, the motor is controlled to drive the movable water nozzle to adjust the flow rate of that layer. Then, commands are sent to adjust the flow rate of other layers to a suitable level until all layers are adjusted. The electrical control mechanism of the flow rate adjustment control device is itself a conventional technology in this field and will not be described in detail.

The lower end of the middle connector is connected to the upper end of the middle assembly of the polymer injection switch. The electrical control mechanism includes a PLC main board, a testing device, and a motor. The PLC main board is located at the top and is electrically connected to the cable. The testing device and the motor are both electrically connected to the PLC main board. The motor is located at the bottom. The upper port of the hydraulic pressure channel of the main body is connected to the hydraulic control pipeline, and the lower port of the hydraulic pressure channel of the main body is connected to the piston chamber where the piston of the polymer injection switch is located via the pressure pipeline. Sealing material is placed at the location of the motor to prevent the power fluid from flowing upwards to the upper-placed testing device and PLC main board.
6. A method for using an electro-hydraulic integrated layered polymer injection device, characterized in that, Using the electro-hydraulic integrated stratified polymer injection string as described in claim 4 includes the following steps: During routine injection, a command is sent to the electro-hydraulic integrated stratified polymer injection device via armored cable through a surface display and control cabinet. When the downhole electro-hydraulic integrated stratified polymer injection device receives the command, it starts the motor. The power fluid is transmitted to the piston chamber through the pressure joint and pressure pipeline, pushing the piston downward, compressing the spring, and driving the connecting rod and movable nozzle downward. The flow rate is adjusted by adjusting the gap between the movable nozzle and the lower joint. When the preset flow rate is reached, the motor automatically stops, completing the adjustment of this layer. The polymer flows from the tubing through the gap of the movable nozzle at the bottom of the electro-hydraulic integrated stratified polymer injection device, pushing the valve and compressing the lower spring, so that the polymer flows out from the injection port to the formation. The motor stops working, and the nozzle no longer moves.
