Those skilled in the art should understand that these specific embodiments and examples are used to illustrate the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention.

[0068] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the general idea is as follows: By a specific method, obtain the upper and lower limits of the critical explosion of combustible gas under a certain temperature and pressure condition, and the critical content of oxygen that can cause explosion under a certain temperature and pressure condition, and then guide the wellbore and surface process design.

[0069] According to a typical embodiment of the present invention, a method for preventing downhole explosion in an oxygen-containing gas injection well is provided, and the method includes:

[0070] S1. Obtain associated oilfield gas;

[0071] S2. Measure the gas components of the associated oilfield gas to obtain the gas components of the associated oilfield gas;

[0072] S3. Obtain the explosion limit of the associated oilfield gas at normal temperature and pressure according to the gas components of the associated oilfield gas;

[0073] S4. Obtain the lower and upper limits of explosion at constant temperature and pressure according to the explosion limit at normal temperature and pressure;

[0074] S5. Obtain the first critical oxygen content of the associated oilfield gas at normal temperature and pressure according to the gas components of the associated oilfield gas and the explosion limit at normal temperature and pressure;

[0075] S6. Obtain the second critical oxygen content at constant temperature and pressure according to the first critical oxygen content at normal temperature and pressure;

[0076] S7. Obtain the safe injection amount of oxygen-containing gas according to the lower and upper limits of explosion and the second critical oxygen content at constant temperature and pressure to prevent downhole explosion.

[0077] Specifically, in S2, a gas component measuring instrument is used to measure the components of associated gas in the oilfield. The methods for gas component measurement include gas chromatography, infrared analysis, zirconia oxygen analysis, magnetic oxygen analysis, nitrogen oxide analysis, physical method, etc. The embodiments of the present invention do not have specific requirements and can be selected according to actual situations. The above-listed methods are only used to illustrate that the present invention can be implemented and are not used to limit the present invention. In other embodiments, other implementation manners can also be used to detect gas components.

[0078] S3. According to the measured gas components, if the mixed gas is all combustible gas, the explosion limit of the mixed gas at normal temperature and pressure (20 °C, 0.1 MPa) can be calculated by the following formula.

[0079]

[0080] In the formula, C m is the explosion limit of the multi-component combustible gas mixture, %; V1, V2,..., V n are the volume percentages of each component in the mixed gas, %, and their sum is 100%; C1, C2,..., C n are the explosion limits of each component in oxygen or air, which can be obtained from academic literature and books, %.

[0081] If the mixed gas contains inert gas, it can be corrected by the following formula.

[0082]

[0083] In the formula, C m is the explosion limit of the combustible part in the mixed gas, %; C m ′ is the explosion limit of the combustible mixed gas containing inert gas, %; B is the volume fraction of the inert gas, %.

[0084] S4. Calculate the critical oxygen content of the mixed gas at normal temperature and pressure. In this embodiment, two methods are used for comprehensive determination, that is, the critical oxygen content is the average value of the results measured by the two methods.

[0085] The first is the stoichiometric method. The safe oxygen content limit refers to the safe oxygen content in the mixed gas that forms an explosive atmosphere in a closed device. There are mainly two situations. One is the maximum oxygen concentration required to form a non-explosive mixed gas by replacing the flammable gas in a storage tank or pipeline with inert gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide, or the critical value of the oxygen concentration required for the mixed gas that just explodes at the edge of the explosion range. The other is the minimum oxygen concentration required for a certain fixed concentration of flammable gas to just burn or explode when sufficient ignition energy is given and some inert gas is added. For the sake of distinction, the former is called the critical oxygen concentration or the maximum allowable oxygen concentration, that is, the safe oxygen content limit, and the latter is called the minimum oxygen concentration.

[0086] Therefore, when a flammable gas undergoes complete combustion with oxygen, the concentration of the flammable gas component at complete reaction can be obtained from the chemical reaction formula.

[0087]

[0088] In the formula, n, m, λ, and f represent the number of atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and halogen elements respectively.

[0089] Theoretically, the concentration of the flammable gas that completely burns with 1 mol of oxygen is:

[0090]

[0091] When the concentration of the flammable gas is between C st and the lower explosion limit L, the reaction at this time is a complete combustion chemical reaction. If the concentration is L at this time, the theoretical minimum oxygen concentration is:

[0092]

[0093] The second is the graphical method, see Figure 2 .

[0094] (1) Draw an equilateral triangle, and the vertices F, O, and N represent the flammable gas, oxygen, and nitrogen respectively;

[0095] (2) Draw the air line F—A, and take the lower explosion limit X1’ and upper explosion limit X2’ of the flammable gas in oxygen on the F—O side;

[0096] (3) Take the lower explosion limit X1 and upper explosion limit X2 of the flammable gas in air on the F—A line;

[0097] (4) Connect X1, X1’, and extend; connect X2, X2’, and extend to intersect X1X1’ at point C;

[0098] (5) Draw a tangent parallel to FN through point C and intersect ON at point P, then point P is the critical oxygen concentration.

[0099] Take the median of the two methods as the critical oxygen content at normal temperature and pressure (20 °C, 0.1 MPa) for the final calculation.

[0100] In the actual application process, it is found that the stoichiometric method and the graphical method each have their own advantages, and their accuracies are different for different working conditions. The applicant finds that taking the median of the two methods can make the prediction result more accurate and more universal.

[0101] S5. Calculate the lower explosion limit of the mixed gas under the given temperature and pressure conditions.

[0102] Through the following formula, the lower explosion coefficients b1, b2, b3, and b4 at the given temperature are obtained.

[0103] b1 = -0.1305(T / 40) 2 + 0.3205(T / 40) + 1.241

[0104] b2 = -0.2125(T / 40) 2 + 0.8475(T / 40) - 0.196

[0105] b3 = 2.6125(T / 40) 2 - 9.4755(T / 40) + 9.988

[0106] b4 = 0.601(T / 40) 2 - 2.426(T / 40) + 3.64

[0107] Using the explosion limit value C of the mixed gas at normal temperature and pressure obtained previously m1 , through the following formula, the lower explosion limit value L at a certain temperature is obtained under the given pressure.

[0108]

[0109] S6. Calculate the upper explosion limit of the mixed gas under the given temperature and pressure conditions.

[0110] Through the following formula, the upper explosion coefficients d1, d2, and d3 at the given temperature are obtained.

[0111] d1 = 0.24(T / 40) 2 + 4.084(T / 40) + 53.246

[0112] d2 = 0.1875(T / 40) 2 + 3.2795(T / 40) + 33.281

[0113] d3 = 0.0045(T / 40) 2+0.7645(T / 40)+5.682

[0114] Using the explosion limit value C of the mixed gas at normal temperature and pressure obtained previously m2 , through the following formula, the upper explosion limit value U at a certain temperature is obtained under a given pressure.

[0115]

[0117] Through the following formula, the critical oxygen content coefficients f1, f2, and f3 at a given temperature are obtained.

[0118] f1 = -0.5305(T / 40) 2 +2.1775(T / 40)-0.133

[0119] f2 = -0.2205(T / 40) 2 +0.9005(T / 40)+2.515

[0120] f3 = 0.185(T / 40) 2 -1.058(T / 40)+9.604

[0121] Using the explosion limit value C of the mixed gas at normal temperature and pressure obtained previously m3 , through the following formula, the critical oxygen content LOC at a certain temperature is obtained under a given pressure.

[0122]

[0123] Finally, based on the above calculation indexes, the control requirements for combustible gas and critical oxygen content in the oilfield are given.

[0124] Finally, based on the above calculation indexes, the control requirements for combustible gas and critical oxygen content in the oilfield are given.

[0125] Next, the method for preventing downhole explosion in an oxygen-containing gas injection well of the present application will be described in detail in combination with examples, comparative examples, and experimental data.

[0126] Example 1

[0127] (1) The produced associated gas components of a certain oilfield are shown in the following table.

[0128] Produced associated gas components

[0129] Methane Ethane Propane Butane 82.90 9.42 5.03 2.65

[0130] (2) Calculate that the upper explosion limit of the mixed gas at normal temperature and pressure is 14.33%, and the lower explosion limit is 4.26%.

[0131]

[0132]

[0133] (3) Calculate the critical oxygen content at normal temperature and pressure to be 11.25%.

[0134] n = (82.90 + 2×9.42 + 3×5.03 + 4×2.65) / 100 = 1.27

[0135] m = (4×82.90 + 6×9.42 + 8×5.03 + 10×2.65) / 100 = 4.55

[0136]

[0137] The combustible components in associated gas are a mixed gas. When calculating its critical oxygen content using the explosion triangle diagram, it can only be simplified into a single gas, which is allowed for ideal gases.

[0138] First, obtain the upper and lower explosion limits of the combustible components in the mixed gas in air and oxygen.

[0139] The explosion limits of the mixed combustible components in oxygen are obtained as:

[0140]

[0141]

[0142] Let X1 = 4.26, X2 = 14.33, X 11 = 4.34, X 22 = 60.71.

Connect X1 and X 11 , and extend it. Then connect X2 and X 22 , and extend it. The intersection with X1X 11 is at point C. Draw a line parallel to the fuel axis through point C, and the safe oxygen content can be obtained as 12.22%, as Figure 3 shown.

[0143]

[0144] (4) Calculate the lower explosion coefficient at normal pressure (0.1 MPa)

[0145] First, obtain the lower explosion coefficients b1, b2, b3, and b4 at the given temperature.

[0146] b1 = -0.1305(80 / 40) 2 +0.3205(80 / 40)+1.241 = 1.36

[0147] b2 = -0.2125(80 / 40) 2 +0.8475(80 / 40)-0.196 = 0.649

[0151] L = (0.0791×4.26 + 0.7){1.36 + 0.649 / [1+(20 / 1.487) 1.192} = 1.44

[0152] (5) Calculate the upper explosion limit of the mixed gas under given temperature and pressure conditions.

[0154] d1 = 0.24(80 / 40) 2 +4.084(80 / 40)+53.246 = 62.374

[0155] d2 = 0.1875(80 / 40) 2 +3.2795(80 / 40)+33.281 = 40.59

[0156] d3 = 0.0045(80 / 40) 2 +0.7645(80 / 40)+5.682 = 7.229

[0157] Then, at a given pressure, the upper and lower explosion limit values U at a certain temperature are obtained.

[0158] U = (-0.0584×14.33 + 1.92)(62,374 - 40.59e -20 / 7.229 ) = 64.79

[0159] (6) Calculate the critical content of oxygen under given temperature and pressure conditions.

[0160] Obtain the critical oxygen content coefficients f1, f2, and f3 at a given temperature.

[0161] f1 = -0.5305(T / 40) 2 +2.1775(T / 40) - 0.133 = 2.1

[0162] f2 = -0.2205(T / 40) 2 +0.9005(T / 40) + 2.515 = 3.434

[0163] f3 = 0.185(T / 40) 2 -1.058(T / 40) + 9.604 = 8.228

[0164] Then, at a given pressure, obtain the critical oxygen content LOC at a certain temperature.

[0165] LOC = (-0.0866×11.25 + 2.0)(2.1e -20 / 3.434 +8.228) = 8.44
