Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of drilling equipment, and relates to a fishing wave code communication control water distributor. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increase of oilfield exploitation time, the reservoir pressure gradually decreases, the driving capacity for crude oil is weakened, and the oil well yield is greatly reduced. In order to ensure that the crude oil in the reservoir continues to migrate to the oil well, it is necessary to continuously supplement the fluid to the reservoir to enhance the formation energy, and the oilfield water injection is the most economical and effective technical means for improving the recovery rate of oil and gas fields at the present stage. Since multiple reservoirs are exploited in one oil well, the energy reduction of each reservoir in the oil production process has a large difference, so the energy supplement of each reservoir needs to be treated differently. Generally, the layered water injection is adopted, and the downhole water distributor is used to realize the injection of different water injection amounts of each layer. With the development of separate injection technology, a wave code communication control separate injection technology appears, which greatly improves the efficiency and precision of layered water injection. The key tool of the separate injection technology is a wave code communication control water distributor, which is powered by a downhole high-temperature battery. According to the oilfield management requirements, the service life of the downhole tool must be more than 6 years, and the existing downhole high-temperature battery power supply only meets the use of the wave code communication control water distributor for 4 years.

[0003] Chinese patent CN202211619267.X (a fishing wave code communication water distribution device and process method) provides a fishing wave code communication water distributor device, which generally contains a water distributor working barrel and a fishing wave code communication water distributor. The technical core is to use a wire or cable to fish the fishing wave code communication water distributor when the battery needs to be replaced, and then put it into the water distributor working barrel after replacing the battery, thereby effectively solving the problem of short battery life of the wave code communication control water distributor in the conventional wave code communication separate injection technology. However, after the fishing wave code communication water distributor of the patent is put into the water distributor working barrel, it occupies the center channel position, and the water absorption profile cannot be tested.

[0004] Therefore, on the basis of the existing fishing wave code communication water distributor, a test channel is introduced, and the structure and function are further improved, so as to develop a fishing wave code communication control water distributor with a test channel. The water distributor is lowered to the corresponding water injection layer, and the purposes of efficient and accurate water injection allocation and water absorption profile are achieved. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the application is to provide a fishing wave code communication control water distributor with a test channel, which solves the problem that the existing fishing wave code communication water distributor occupies the center channel position after being put into the water distributor working barrel, resulting in the problem that the water absorption profile cannot be tested.

[0035] The structure of the electrical control component includes a battery pack 8, a circuit control component 10, and a pressure sensor 12. The battery pack 8 and the circuit control component 10 are disposed in the inner cavity of the electrical control housing 7.

The pressure sensor 12 is connected to the circuit control component 10 and the battery pack 8 through the wire passage.

[0036] Reference Figure 7The structure of the transmission and water nozzle adjustment assembly includes a high-temperature resistant geared motor 27, a transmission screw 30, and a transmission rod 36. The geared motor 27 is also connected to the circuit control assembly 10 and the battery pack 8 via the aforementioned wiring channel. The lower end of the geared motor 27 housing is fixedly connected to the upper end of the motor fixing component 28 by multiple circumferential pins. The transmission shaft of the geared motor 27 is integrally connected downwards to the transmission screw 30 via a coupling 29. The transmission screw 30 forms a trapezoidal thread pair with the screw nut 31 downwards. The lower internal thread of the screw nut 31 engages with the upper external thread of the transmission rod 36. A guide pin 32 is provided along the diameter direction at the upper end of the transmission rod 36, below the lower end face of the transmission screw 30.

The rods 36 are connected as a whole and are fitted together in the inner cavity of the shaft housing 33. The internal thread of the upper end of the shaft housing 33 is screwed into the external thread of the lower end of the motor fixing part 28. A dynamic seal 34 is installed in the internal thread of the lower end of the shaft housing 33. A clamping nut 35 is installed along the lower end of the shaft housing 33. The dynamic seal 34 and the clamping nut 35 are fitted together on the transmission rod 36 to form a clamping dynamic seal. The external thread of the lower end of the transmission rod 36 is screwed into the internal thread in the blind hole at the upper end of the connector 37. The external thread of the lower end of the connector 37 is screwed into the internal thread in the blind hole at the upper end of the conical valve head 39. A valve core seal 38 is provided between the lower stepped surface of the connector 37 and the upper surface of the conical valve head 39. The transmission and water nozzle adjustment assembly is screwed into the inner cavity at the upper end of the water injection housing 15 by threads. When the geared motor 27 rotates, it drives the transmission screw 30. The transmission screw 30 and the screw nut 31 are a trapezoidal thread pair. Under the action of the guide pin 32, the rotation of the transmission screw 30 can drive the screw nut 31 and the transmission rod 36 to move downward or upward along the axial direction, thus opening or closing the valve port.

[0037] The connecting cylinder 2, transition piece 3, lower connector 5, electronic control housing 7, battery pack 8, sensor fixing piece 11, channel connecting piece 13, and shaft housing 33 all have their own sealing grooves at the upper and lower port docking positions. The sealing performance of the components that need to be sealed is ensured by using fluororubber sealing rings.

[0038] After all the above components are installed in place, they are connected and fixed together by two sets of connecting screws 41 and their locking nuts 40, forming a whole.

[0039] The short section of the retrieving water distributor has a built-in eccentric test water injection channel with a diameter of 24mm, which ensures the deployment of test instruments.

[0040] The working principle of this invention is:

[0041] 1) The working cylinder of the extended water distributor is threaded onto the water distribution tubing and lowered to the target location downhole along with the tubing. The drop-and-retrieve water distributor section can be deployed and locked inside the target water distributor using specialized deployment equipment. During downhole deployment, the deployment equipment pulls the retrieval rod upwards, locking the deployment components in their initial state. At this time, the positioning cam and the retractable arm are in the retracted state. During deployment, the deployment equipment no longer pulls the retrieval rod; the rod moves downwards under the action of the adjusting spring, causing the wedge on it to move downwards. Because the retractable arm has a guide groove that engages with the wedge surface of the wedge guide groove, the retractable arm opens outwards as the wedge moves downwards, locking itself in place. The positioning cam also rotates under the action of the torsion spring until it stops at the set position, at which point the positioning cam has opened outwards and locked itself in place. See [link to details]. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure where the short section of the water distributor is locked inside the working cylinder of the long water distributor.

[0042] 2) The electrical control component's pressure sensor monitors downhole pressure in real time. When a specific pressure fluctuation is detected, the pressure signal is converted into a data signal and transmitted to the circuit control component. The circuit control component then controls the rotation of the geared motor. When the geared motor rotates in reverse, it drives the transmission screw. Since the transmission screw and screw nut are a trapezoidal thread pair, the rotation of the transmission screw, under the action of the guide pin, allows the screw nut and transmission rod to move upwards until they reach a limited position and stop. At this point, the valve opening is 100%, the valve port is fully open, and water can be injected into the well site through the water injection channel.

[0043] 3) When the geared motor rotates, it drives the transmission screw. Since the transmission screw and screw nut are a trapezoidal thread pair, the rotation of the transmission screw can cause the screw nut and transmission rod to move downwards until they reach the limit position and stop. At this time, the valve opening is 0% and the valve port is completely closed.

[0044] 4) After the water injection valve is closed, the retrieval equipment pulls the retrieval rod upward to lock the retrieval component and reset it. The retrieval water distributor section can then be moved to the next target water injection layer.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3a , Figure 3b , Figure 3cBefore the initial deployment, the device of this invention assembles the extended water distributor working cylinder and the drop-and-retrieve water distributor short section on the ground. The extended water distributor working cylinder is threaded onto the water distribution string and lowered to the target location in the well along with the water distribution string. The ground controller sends commands to adjust the stratified water injection volume for normal water injection. When the battery power is low or the water nozzle is blocked, the drop-and-retrieve equipment is used to retrieve the drop-and-retrieve water distributor short sections from top to bottom to the ground. New drop-and-retrieve water distributor short sections are then sequentially placed back into the extended water distributor working cylinder from bottom to top and locked in place. Then, water injection adjustment and normal water injection are performed according to the procedure.

[0047] The method of using the long water distributor working cylinder and the drop-and-retrieve water distributor short section together downhole allows for the deployment of one drop-and-retrieve water distributor short section within multiple long water distributor working cylinders, since the structural dimensions of the long water distributor working cylinder are all the same.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Reference Figure 4a , Figure 4b , Figure 4c During the descent, the retrieval equipment pulls the retrieval rod 16 upwards, locking the retrieval assembly in its initial state. At this time, the positioning cam 20 and the retracting arm 23 are in the retracted state. During deployment, the retrieval equipment no longer pulls the retrieval rod 16. Under the action of the adjusting spring 18, the retrieval rod 16 moves downwards, causing the wedge block 22 on it to move downwards. Because the retracting arm 23 engages with the wedge surface of the wedge block 22, the retracting arm 23 opens outwards as the wedge block 22 moves downwards, locking itself in place. The positioning cam 20 also rotates under the action of the torsion spring 25 until it stops at the set position, at which point the positioning cam 20 has opened outwards and locked itself in place. When releasing the lock, the retrieval equipment pulls the retrieval rod 16 upwards to lock the retrieval assembly back to its original position.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 In state 1, when the geared motor 27 rotates in reverse, it drives the transmission screw 30. Since the transmission screw 30 and the screw nut 31 are a trapezoidal thread pair, the rotation of the transmission screw 30, under the action of the guide pin 32, can make the screw nut 31 and the transmission rod 36 move upward until they reach the limit position and then stop. At this time, the valve opening is 100% and the valve port is fully open.

[0052] State 2: When the geared motor 27 rotates forward, it drives the transmission screw 30. Since the transmission screw 30 and the screw nut 31 are a trapezoidal thread pair, the rotation of the transmission screw 30, under the action of the guide pin 32, can cause the screw nut 31 and the transmission rod 36 to move downward until they reach the limit position and stop. At this time, the valve opening is 0% and the valve port is completely closed.

[0053] Example 4

[0054] The long water distributor working cylinder and the drop-and-retrieve water distributor short section are used separately downhole. Since the structural dimensions of the long water distributor working cylinder are all the same, one set of drop-and-retrieve water distributor short section can be used to inject water into multiple sets of long water distributor working cylinders. The long water distributor working cylinder is screwed onto the water distribution string and is lowered downhole to the target position along with the water distribution string.

[0055] The pressure sensor in the electrical control component detects the downhole pressure in real time. When a specific pressure fluctuation is detected, the pressure signal is converted into a data signal and transmitted to the circuit control component, which then controls the geared motor 27 to rotate.

[0056] In summary, the device of this invention has multiple functions, including data acquisition, automatic flow regulation, automatic measurement and adjustment, seal verification, pressure recovery testing, and injection rotation. It uses pressure or flow waves to achieve bidirectional communication with the ground controller, allowing for real-time data reading and control. Simultaneously, it eliminates the drawback of existing concentric drop-and-retrieve processes that occupy the pipeline channel and cannot simultaneously perform water intake profile testing. This water distributor uses concentric drop-and-retrieve with automatic guiding docking, overcoming the low success rate of eccentric drop-and-retrieve. It is simple and convenient to operate, greatly reducing the difficulty of the work.
