Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fiber optic monitoring technology, and more specifically, to a method for real-time fiber optic monitoring of intelligent oil and gas wells. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional oil and gas well monitoring methods only install sensors at the wellhead for monitoring, which cannot provide a comprehensive understanding of the downhole conditions, resulting in inaccurate monitoring results and an inability to assess the production capacity and operating status of oil and gas wells. Furthermore, the use of manual operation limits the real-time nature and efficiency of monitoring data, and the manual collection, processing, and analysis can easily lead to data loss and analytical errors.
[0003] By utilizing fiber optic sensing technology to deploy optical fibers and various sensors to form a multi-network coverage of oil and gas wells, real-time monitoring of key locations in oil and gas wells can be achieved. Remote data collection and analysis can be realized through fiber optic transmission. Compared with traditional manual data processing, the data monitoring center can analyze and process data parameters in real time, promptly identify oil and gas well problems and take measures. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a method for real-time monitoring of intelligent oil and gas wells using optical fiber. The method integrates an intelligent sensor network with optical fiber to monitor various key locations of the oil and gas well and the interior of the optical fiber, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] The technical solution of this invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A method for real-time fiber optic monitoring of intelligent oil and gas wells, comprising the following steps:
[0006] 101. Install multiple sensors to form a smart sensor network, which is used to convert oil and gas well parameter information into optical signals. The optical signals are introduced into the sensor network using optical probes, and the optical signals are amplified, filtered and corrected through signal conditioning and amplification circuits.
[0007] 102. Establish a data monitoring center connected to the wellhead terminal, and use fiber optic communication technology to transmit data to the data monitoring center through fiber optic networks and sensor networks. Use wireless communication to realize real-time monitoring, acquisition and remote transmission of various key parameters of oil and gas wells.
[0008] 103. Process and analyze various key parameters of oil and gas wells, extract key monitoring indicators and features, transform the results of feature extraction into actual monitoring indicators, and use supervised learning to identify abnormal situations.
[0009] 104. Determine different levels of parameter indicators and set corresponding thresholds and evaluation criteria. Use the K-means clustering algorithm for classification. When the monitoring indicators reach or exceed the set thresholds, trigger the corresponding level of abnormal alarm mechanism.
[0010] 105. Obtain changes in optical signal transmission delay and reflection loss during optical fiber transmission, preset optical fiber transmission thresholds by using the specific time when the signal data is sent to the device and received, and establish an intelligent optical fiber sensing system to monitor optical fiber loss in real time.
[0011] 106. Real-time storage of monitoring data parameters, persistent storage of data using cloud storage, setting storage time intervals and data volume according to needs, controlling data size and storage cycle, and displaying different monitoring indicators and parameters in the form of charts and curves to intuitively show the status and changing trends of oil and gas wells.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, in step 101, a smart sensor network is formed by installing multiple sensors, including temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and liquid level sensors, to provide comprehensive downhole environmental information parameters. The sensors collect analog electrical signals, which are converted into digital signals by an analog-to-digital converter. The digital signals are then converted into optical signals by an optical transmitter and transmitted to the sensor network via an optical probe, realizing the application of fiber optic sensing technology. A bandpass filter is installed to retain signals within a specific bandwidth through a specific frequency range. Operational amplifiers are used to increase the signal amplitude, thereby improving signal strength and sensitivity. A linear calibration algorithm is used based on a linear relationship, linearly representing the difference between the input signal and a known reference value, to fit and achieve a data acquisition calibration curve. The specific formula of the linear calibration algorithm is:
[0013] Y corrected =a*X+b
[0014] Where Y corrected X represents the calibration output signal, a represents the input signal, and b represents the calibration coefficients based on historical experimental data.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, in step 102, a data monitoring center for the wellhead terminal is established using an optical fiber interface. The data monitoring center connects to various sensors, monitoring equipment, and a smart optical fiber communication system to collect data on key parameters of oil and gas wells, production equipment, and pipelines in real time, including temperature, pressure, flow rate, and liquid level. The data is transmitted to the data monitoring center via an optical fiber network and sensor network using optical fiber communication technology. The optical fiber communication technology uses optical fiber as the transmission medium and leverages the high bandwidth, low loss, strong anti-interference ability, and high security of optical fiber for high-speed, long-distance data transmission. Wireless LAN and LoRaWAN wireless communication technologies are used to connect devices and network nodes to a remote gateway, enabling real-time monitoring, acquisition, and remote transmission of various key parameters of the oil and gas well.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, step 103 involves determining the variation range of multiple parameters and any existing anomalies, using correlation covariance analysis to analyze the relationship between different parameters, checking for correlations between abnormal parameters, and using the absolute value of the covariance to determine the closeness of the relationship between the parameter variables. The covariance measures the overall trend of change in different parameter variables, and its specific formula is as follows:
[0017]
[0018] Where COV(x,y) represents the absolute value of the covariance, x i y i This represents the i-th observation of different variables with the same parameters. This represents the sample mean of different variables with the same parameter, where n represents the total number of observations. Positive covariance indicates that the parameter variables have similar trends, while negative covariance indicates that the parameter variables have opposite trends. Utilizing the characteristics of a signal composed of multiple frequency sine waves, the frequency domain is transformed through Fourier transform to represent the superposition of sine waves of different frequencies. Periodicity, frequency correlation, and abnormal event features are extracted to obtain the energy distribution of different frequency components in the signal. A linear transformation function is established based on historical signal parameter data, and transformation is performed through the linear relationship between the features and monitoring indicator features. The specific formula for the linear transformation function is:
[0019] Y index =c*X c +d
[0020] Where Y index X represents the monitoring indicator. c The feature is represented by c and d, which represent the degree of influence of the feature on the monitoring index and the baseline value of the adjustment transformation function, respectively. The parameter signal is labeled and the training signal dataset is assigned. Supervised learning is used to label normal samples as positive and abnormal samples as negative. Supervised learning is trained through positive and negative sample sets so that it can learn the relationship between the features and labels of normal samples and judge abnormal parameter signal samples.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, step 104 involves determining different levels of parameter indicators and setting corresponding thresholds and evaluation criteria. A clustering analysis algorithm is then used for classification. When a monitored indicator reaches or exceeds a set threshold, an abnormal alarm mechanism of the corresponding level is triggered. Specifically, this includes the following steps:
[0022] Step 1: Determine the different temperature parameter indicators and set thresholds and evaluation criteria, including temperature fluctuations within ±5℃ as excellent, ±5℃ to ±10℃ as good, ±10℃ to ±20℃ as average, and exceeding ±20℃ as unacceptable. Use the K-means clustering algorithm to randomly select K initial cluster centers, assign samples containing temperature parameters to the nearest cluster center, update the cluster centers, and calculate the average value of each cluster as the new cluster center. Repeat the assignment and update operation until the cluster centers no longer change and the maximum number of iterations is reached. Extract and group the temperature sample parameters in the dataset according to similarity, set good and average temperature fluctuations as normal working ranges, and set unacceptable temperature fluctuations as safe working ranges. When the well temperature exceeds the set normal working range, trigger a general-level abnormal alarm; when the well temperature exceeds the set safe working range, trigger an unacceptable-level abnormal alarm.
[0023] Step 2: Determine the different pressure parameter indices and set thresholds and evaluation criteria, including pressure fluctuations within ±100 psi as excellent, ±100 psi to ±200 psi as good, ±200 psi to ±500 psi as average, and exceeding ±500 psi as unacceptable. Use the K-means clustering algorithm to randomly select K initial cluster centers, assign samples containing pressure parameters to the nearest cluster center, update the cluster centers, and calculate the average value of each cluster as the new cluster center. Repeat the assignment and update operation iteratively until the cluster centers no longer change and the maximum number of iterations is reached. Extract and group the pressure sample parameters in the dataset according to similarity, set good and average pressure fluctuations as normal working ranges, and set unacceptable pressure fluctuations as safe working ranges. When the well pressure exceeds the set normal working range, trigger a general-level abnormal alarm; when the well pressure exceeds the set safe working range, trigger an unacceptable-level abnormal alarm.
[0024] Step 3: Determine the different liquid level parameters and set thresholds and evaluation criteria, including liquid level fluctuations within ±10% as excellent, ±10% to ±20% as good, ±20% to ±50% as average, and exceeding ±50% as unqualified. Use the K-means clustering algorithm to randomly select K initial cluster centers, assign samples containing liquid level parameters to the nearest cluster center, update the cluster centers, and calculate the average value of each cluster as the new cluster center. Repeat the iterative assignment and update operation until the cluster centers no longer change and the maximum number of iterations is reached. Extract and group the liquid level sample parameters in the dataset according to similarity, set good and average liquid level fluctuations as normal working ranges, and set unqualified liquid level fluctuations as safe working ranges. When the liquid level in the well exceeds the set normal working range, a general-level abnormal alarm is triggered; when the liquid level in the well exceeds the set safe working range, an unqualified-level abnormal alarm is triggered.
[0025] Furthermore, the specific formula for updating the cluster centers in the K-means clustering algorithm is as follows:
[0026]
[0027] Where μ represents the i-th cluster center, x i Let N represent the feature values of all samples in the i-th cluster, and let N represent the number of samples in the i-th cluster.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, in step 105, the specific time when the signal data is sent to the device and received is used as the standard for judging the fiber optic transmission delay. The timestamps of the transmitted and received signals are recorded, and the time difference between the sending and receiving ends is calculated. The specific formula for this calculation is as follows:
[0029] ΔT=T1-T2
[0030] Where ΔT represents the time difference between the transmitter and receiver, T1 represents the timestamp of the transmitted signal, and T2 represents the timestamp of the received signal. The propagation time of the signal during optical fiber transmission is obtained. A preset threshold for the time from the transmitter to the receiver under normal conditions is used for comparison to determine the degree of optical signal transmission delay. The optical signal is transmitted through the downhole transmitter, and the returned reflected signal is received and analyzed. The reflection point in the optical fiber is determined by the reflection path. Spectral analysis provides information on the optical signal power spectral density, center wavelength, and bandwidth to determine the optical signal transmission quality and loss changes. The center wavelength of the optical signal is the main frequency of the optical signal and is used to monitor for losses and other interferences during transmission. Its specific formula is:
[0031]
[0032] Where λc represents the center wavelength, c represents the speed of light, and f represents the frequency of the optical signal, an intelligent optical fiber sensing system is established by integrating the changes in optical signal transmission delay and reflection loss during optical fiber transmission. The system calls upon an intelligent sensing network and combines optical fiber sensors and other sensors to monitor optical fiber transmission loss in real time.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, step 106 involves real-time storage of detection data parameters, including historical data composed of temperature, pressure, liquid level, and corresponding alarm measures. This data is persistently stored using cloud storage and remotely accessed via a network for real-time monitoring, analysis, and retrieval. The storage time interval is set to every hour, and the amount of data stored is controlled according to requirements. The data size and storage period are controlled, and a storage limit is set for data compression. A line graph is used to display data changes over time, with different monitoring indicators and parameters as the y-axis and time as the x-axis, showing the data trend. A scatter plot is used to show the relationships between different indicators, with different indicators as the x-axis and y-axis, each data point representing a monitoring point in time. The correlation between indicators is observed through the distribution of scatter points. A heat map is used to show the spatial distribution changes of different indicators. Monitoring data from different locations are mapped onto a map or plan view, with color depth indicating data size. An abnormal alarm mechanism is invoked, presenting the corresponding level of abnormal alarms on a visualization terminal, intuitively displaying the status, trends, and anomaly repair suggestions of the oil and gas well.
[0034] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention utilizes fiber optic sensing technology to monitor various parameters of oil and gas wells in real time, providing higher sampling frequency and more accurate data, enabling timely capture of changes and anomalies downhole, reducing the number of sensors and the complexity of wiring, improving monitoring efficiency and reliability, achieving long-distance monitoring to cover a large oil and gas well area, ensuring the quality and stability of monitoring signals, timely detection of anomalies and early warning and fault diagnosis.

The optical signals are introduced into the sensor network using optical probes, and the optical signals are amplified, filtered and corrected through signal conditioning and amplification circuits.
[0042] Furthermore, a smart sensor network is constructed by installing multiple sensors, including temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and liquid level sensors, to provide comprehensive downhole environmental information parameters.

A bandpass filter is installed to retain signals within a specific bandwidth through a specific frequency range. Operational amplifiers are used to increase the signal amplitude, thereby improving signal strength and sensitivity. A linear calibration algorithm, based on a linear relationship, linearly represents the difference between the input signal and a known reference value, and fits a data acquisition calibration curve. The specific formula of the linear calibration algorithm is as follows:

[0048] Furthermore, the range of variation for various parameters and any existing anomalies are determined. Correlation covariance analysis is used to analyze the relationships between different parameters, examining the correlation between abnormal parameters. The absolute value of the covariance is used to determine the degree of closeness of the relationship between the parameter variables.

This represents the sample mean of different variables with the same parameter, where n represents the total number of observations. Positive covariance indicates that the parameter variables have similar trends, while negative covariance indicates that the parameter variables have opposite trends. Utilizing the characteristics of a signal composed of multiple frequency sine waves, the frequency domain is transformed through Fourier transform to represent the superposition of sine waves of different frequencies. Periodicity, frequency correlation, and abnormal event features are extracted to obtain the energy distribution of different frequency components in the signal.

The parameter signal is labeled and the training signal dataset is assigned. Supervised learning is used to label normal samples as positive and abnormal samples as negative. Supervised learning is trained through positive and negative sample sets so that it can learn the relationship between the features and labels of normal samples and judge abnormal parameter signal samples.
[0053] 104. Determine different levels of parameter indicators and set corresponding thresholds and evaluation criteria. Use the K-means clustering algorithm for classification.
