Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to natural gas extraction engineering, and more specifically to a flow measurement method during the natural gas extraction process. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to oil, natural gas has the advantages of being low-carbon and efficient, making it a cleaner energy source; it is also an important transitional resource for achieving carbon neutrality in the future. The world has already increased its efforts in natural gas extraction.

[0003] Moist gas flow meters are crucial equipment for natural gas extraction, providing vital real-time metering data for reservoir management and enhanced oil recovery. There are two main technologies for moist gas flow meters: one is the "Venturi + Gamma Ray" technology, and the other is the "V-cone + Gamma Ray" technology. Both technologies require the two metering methods to work together, combining their respective data to calculate the flow rate of moist gas (gas-liquid two-phase flow).

[0004] However, although the above two technologies have wide applications, the application of existing moisture flow meters is limited in some areas due to safety regulations on gamma radiation sources; therefore, there is a need to develop non-radiation moisture flow metering technologies.

[0005] As a mature existing technology, the basic principle of Venturi measurement technology is as follows: Figure 1 Pressure differences DP1 were measured at the upstream and throat (2, 3) of the Venturi, and pressure drops PL were measured at the upstream and downstream (2, 4) of the Venturi. When moisture flows within the Venturi tube, the pressure initially decreases and then recovers. Figure 2 As shown. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above reasons, the present invention provides a wet natural gas metering method based on the fitting of the converted slip ratio, which only uses a basic Venturi flow meter for virtual metering, thus eliminating the dependence on X-ray flow meters; in practical applications, it has the advantages of accurate metering, small error and no radioactive pollution, and has practical application value and significance.

[0007] The main technical solution adopted in this invention is carried out according to the following steps:

[0008] First, the relationship between the gas Froude number and the Venturi differential pressure and Venturi pressure drop is fitted using known data to obtain the formula for calculating the gas Froude number, as follows:

[0009] Step 1: Obtain the fitted array;

[0010] The fitted array includes several one-to-one corresponding gas Froude numbers Frg, Venturi pressure loss PL, Venturi differential pressure DP1, equivalent slip ratio SS, dryness fraction X, and artificial height factor OR.

[0011] Step 2: Fit the relationship between the gas Froude number Frg and the Venturi pressure drop PL and Venturi differential pressure DP1 according to the following formula (1);

[0012] Frg=F(DP3), formula (1);

[0013] Wherein, DP3 = ​​DP1 - PL;

[0014] The formula for calculating the gas Froude number was obtained through fitting.

[0015] The known data is then divided into sections according to the gas Froude number. The relationship between the slip ratio and the Venturi differential pressure and Venturi pressure loss is then fitted piecewise within each section of the known data. The piecewise calculation formulas for the slip ratio under different gas Froude numbers are as follows:

[0016] Step 3: According to the data size of the gas Frg, the fitting data group is divided into three segments: high Frg segment, medium Frg segment, and low Frg segment.

[0017] According to the segment to which the fitted data group belongs, the relationship between the slip ratio SS and the Venturi pressure loss PL and the Venturi differential pressure DP1 is calculated piecewise, as shown in the following formula group (2):

[0023] Then, by fitting the relationships between the virtual height factor (OR), dryness (X), and calculated slip ratio (SS) of the paper, the formulas for calculating dryness and calculated slip ratio are obtained:

[0024] Step 4: Fit the relationship between the artificial height factor OR and the reduced slip ratio SS according to the following formula (3):

[0025] OR=f4(SS), formula (3);

[0026] The formula for calculating the inflated factor is obtained;

[0027] The relationship between dryness fraction X and reduced slip ratio SS is fitted according to the following formula (4):

[0028] X = f5(SS), formula (4);

[0029] The formula for calculating dryness fraction is obtained;

[0030] Finally, based on the formulas for calculating the gas Froude number, the equivalent slip ratio, the virtual height factor, and the dryness fraction, some necessary real-time data are collected to calculate the real-time flow rate of the moisture, specifically:

[0031] Step 5: Obtain the calculation array for the moisture to be measured;

Following the same rules, the range of the real-time data is defined based on the magnitude of the real-time gas Froude number. The relevant data is then substituted into the formula for calculating the reduced slip ratio to calculate the real-time reduced slip ratio. Based on the reduced slip ratio, the real-time virtual height factor and dryness fraction are calculated. Specifically:

[0038] Step 6: Calculate the real-time artificially inflated factor OR s and real-time dryness X s ;

[0039] The real time Substituting the value into the gas Froude number calculation formula obtained in step two, we obtain the real-time gas Froude number Frg. s Comparing Frg s The size of the three values, x1, x2, and x3, is used as the standard to determine the segment to which the calculation array belongs;

[0040] The real-time k s Substitute the value into the corresponding segment in the formula for calculating the converted slip ratio obtained in step three, and calculate the real-time converted slip ratio SS. s ;

[0041] Real-time converted slip ratio SS s Substituting the formula for calculating the artificially inflated factor obtained in step four, the real-time artificially inflated factor OR is calculated. s ;

[0042] Real-time converted slip ratio SS s Substituting the formula for calculating dryness obtained in step four, the real-time X is calculated. s ;

[0043] Finally, by overestimating the gas mass flow rate using the real-time calibrated gas phase density, the real-time gas and liquid phase mass flow rates are calculated:

[0108] Example 4:

[0109] The only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that in step four, the formula for calculating the artificially inflated factor is obtained by fitting the following formula (3):

[0110]

[0111] Among them, a6, b6, and c6 are all natural numbers, obtained by fitting the artificial height factor OR and the reduced slip ratio SS;

[0120] Frg=F(DP3=a1*DP3 3 +b1*DP3 2 +c1*DP3+d1, formula (1);

[0121] Wherein, DP3 = ​​DP1 - PL;

[0122] a1, b1, c1, and d1 are all natural numbers. By substituting several Frg and DP3 values, the specific parameters can be obtained through fitting.

[0123] From this, the formula for calculating the gas Froude number can be obtained by fitting the formula.

[0124] Step 3: Based on the size of the gas Frg data, manually set the division range and divide the fitted data group into three segments: high Frg segment, medium Frg segment, and low Frg segment.

[0136] After defining the range for Frg:

[0137] The first fitted array has Frg > x2, which belongs to the high Frg range;

[0138] The second fitted array has Frg≥x1 and Frg≤x2, which belongs to the middle Frg range;

[0139] The third fitted array has Frg < x1, which belongs to the low Frg range.

[0142] The second fitted array should be according to the formula. Perform fitting;

[0143] The third fitted array should be according to the formula. Perform fitting;

[0144] Of course, when fitting the three segments separately, sufficient data is required to obtain the corresponding parameters;

[0145] Step 4: Fit the relationship between the artificial height factor OR and the reduced slip ratio SS according to the following formula (3):

[0146]

[0147] Among them, a6, b6, and c6 are all natural numbers, obtained by fitting the artificial height factor OR and the reduced slip ratio SS;

[0148] This leads to the formula for calculating the artificially inflated factor;

[0149] The relationship between dryness fraction X and reduced slip ratio SS is fitted according to the following formula (4):

[0150]

[0151] Where a7, b7, and c7 are all natural numbers, obtained by fitting the dryness fraction X and the equivalent slip ratio SS; the dryness fraction calculation formula is obtained from this fitting.

[0152] Step 5: Obtain the calculation array for the moisture to be measured;

[0178] Experimental example:

[0179] The experiment was conducted according to the method described in Example 5.

[0180] I. Fitting Frg to DP3;

[0181] Fit the values ​​of several gas Froude numbers Frg, Venturi pressure drop PL, and Venturi differential pressure DP1, and DP3 = ​​DP1 - PL;

[0182] We have several (Frg, DP3) coordinate points, distributed in a Cartesian coordinate system as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the relationship between the fitted Frg and DP3 is:

[0183] Frg=-5DP3 3 -0.002819DP3 2 +0.2341DP3+1.728+1.534e; its fit

[0184] Degree R 2 =0.996, where e is a natural number e.

[0185] II. Piecewise Fitting

[0186] Based on experience, if we set x1 = 3.500 and x2 = 9.170, then:

[0187] The standard for dividing high Frg sections is Frg > 9.170;

[0188] The standard for dividing the Frg interval is 3.500≤Frg≤9.170;

[0189] The criterion for dividing low Frg segments is Frg < 3.500;

[0190] Several (SS, k) coordinate points were calculated. The distribution of (SS, k) in the Cartesian coordinate system for the high, medium, and low Frg sections is as follows: Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 6;

[0191] The following results were obtained by piecewise fitting of the (SS, k) coordinates of each of the above segments:

[0203]

[0204]

[0205] Table 1-3. Real-time gas and liquid phase mass flow rates and relative error statistics (low Frg range)

[0206]

[0207] As can be seen from Tables 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3, the relative error between the calculated gas phase mass flow rate and the actual value is small when using the method of Example 5, while the relative error of the liquid phase mass flow rate fluctuates more. However, for the measurement of wet gas (high gas content), the stable gas phase mass flow rate with smaller error is more practically instructive.

[0208] Beneficial effects: The method of this invention fits known data to obtain the calculation formulas for the reduced slip ratio, virtual height factor, and dryness fraction. Then, it combines the pressure data measured by the Venturi flow meter and the gas density parameters of the moisture to perform virtual measurement and calculate the flow rate data of the moisture, thus eliminating the dependence on X-ray flow meters. It has the advantages of accurate measurement, small error, and no radioactive pollution.
