Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of low-permeability oil and gas reservoir development, and is a visual flow experiment device and experiment method for simulating conventional rod pumping dynamic. BACKGROUND

[0002] Factors affecting oil and gas field recovery efficiency include internal factors and external factors. In the development process of oil and gas fields, internal factors and external factors of oil and gas fields are comprehensively considered to maximize the recovery efficiency of oil and gas fields. Since oil fields are buried underground and are hidden entities, oil, gas and water are constantly flowing and changing in the process of exploitation. This rheological property is a feature that other solid mines do not have. Therefore, to effectively develop oil fields, various measures need to be adjusted during the development process to adapt to changing conditions; at the same time, oil layers need to be continuously transformed so that they can change and develop in the direction that people have predetermined and are beneficial to development. This is a problem that needs to be continuously researched and solved in the process of oil field development. In addition, during the development of oil fields, engineering technology that can adapt to changes in underground conditions is needed to achieve effective development goals. That is, advanced oil production technology is needed.

[0003] Rod pumping systems are widely used in oil fields at home and abroad, and have been the dominant artificial lifting method in mechanical oil production methods. Rod pumping technology is the main method of mechanical oil production, and the number of wells accounts for about 95% of the total number of artificial lifting wells. China's oil pumping machines, rods, pumps and corresponding supporting technologies have formed a series, including conventional beam-type oil pumping machines, special beam-type oil pumping machines, increased distance oil pumping machines, chain machines and beamless oil pumping machines. There are various strength levels of conventional solid oil rods, hollow oil rods, continuous oil rods, steel wire rope oil rods and glass steel oil rods. According to the requirements of exploitation and the different properties of fluids, fixed cylinder top fixed rod pumps, fixed cylinder bottom fixed rod pumps, movable cylinder bottom fixed rod pumps, whole cylinder tube pumps, combined tube pumps, soft seal pumps, heavy oil pumps, sand prevention and sticking oil pumps, gas prevention oil pumps, corrosion prevention oil pumps, double-acting pumps, bridge passing oil pumps, hollow pumps and other special pumps have been developed, forming a complete series of oil pumping pumps. However, as the oil reservoirs become more and more complex, the optimization of rod pumping system parameters needs to be urgently researched.

[0004] The Chinese patent document with the publication number CN109799105 reports a rod pumping system experimental device and method suitable for high gas-liquid ratio oil wells. The experimental device is composed of power supply and transmission equipment, gas-liquid supply equipment, data measurement and collection equipment, and experimental pipe column and gas prevention device. However, it mainly focuses on finding out the applicable gas-liquid ratio limits of various gas anchors and gas prevention pumps, as well as the limits of using various gas prevention pumps coupled with gas anchors, ultimately obtaining the applicable gas-liquid ratio limits of each gas anchor, gas prevention pump, and gas anchor coupled gas prevention pump, providing more effective guidance for high gas-liquid ratio oil well production, and cannot solve the judgment of the influence of pumping unit operation on reservoir seepage.

[0005] Currently, the lifting and production system for non-flowing wells mainly relies on experience. Due to the strong heterogeneity of reservoirs, large differences in oil quality, and complex oil-water relationship, it often leads to low lifting efficiency and high cost. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present application is not limited by the following examples, and the specific implementation can be determined according to the technical scheme of the present application and the actual situation.

[0022] The present application will be further described below in combination with examples:

[0023] Example 1: as shown in the accompanying Figure 1 The visual flow experiment device for simulating the dynamic of conventional rod pumping includes a constant pressure water supply device, a micro displacement device, a measuring cylinder 12 and a vacuum suction device, the outlet of the constant pressure water supply device is communicated with the inlet of the micro displacement device through a first water supply pipeline 5, the outlet of the micro displacement device is communicated with the bottom inlet of the measuring cylinder 12 through a third water supply pipeline 28, the top inlet of the vacuum suction device is fixedly communicated with a vacuum hose 13, and the inlet end of the vacuum hose 13 extends into the measuring cylinder 12.

The visual flow experiment device for simulating the dynamic of conventional rod pumping establishes a connection between the development system and the lifting system, adjusts and improves the reservoir seepage development effect through the lifting system, avoids the disadvantages of adjusting the pumping unit parameters relying on experience, and provides a new idea and means for unconventional reservoirs with large differences in heavy oil products, strong formation heterogeneity and complex oil-water relationship.

[0025] Example 2: as shown in the accompanying Figure 1As shown, as an optimization of the above embodiment, the constant pressure water supply device includes a constant pressure water tank 1, a float valve 2, and a water dispenser 3. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected between the outlet of the water dispenser 3 and the inlet of the constant pressure water tank 1.

[0027] As needed, the float valve 2 and the water dispenser 3 simultaneously control the addition of water to the constant pressure water tank 1. After a certain amount of water is added to the constant pressure water tank 1, the pressure in the constant pressure water tank 1 is kept constant.

[0028] The main structure of the float valve 2 consists of a small ball that floats on the water surface. This ball is connected to the water inlet of the water dispenser 3 via a connecting rod, controlling the opening and closing of the inlet. When the ball and connecting rod are horizontal, the inlet remains closed. When the ball falls as the liquid level in the constant pressure water tank 1 drops, the ball and connecting rod deviate from the horizontal direction, and the inlet opens to add water to the constant pressure water tank 1 until the liquid level returns to its original height, thus ensuring that the pressure in the constant pressure water tank 1 remains constant. The liquid level in the constant pressure water tank 1 is relatively easy to measure.

[0029] Example 4: As shown in the appendix Figure 1 As shown, as an optimization of the above embodiment, the micro displacement device includes a camera 7, a micro experimental frame 8, a bottom light source 9, a glass etching model 10, and a computer 11. The bottom light source 9 and the glass etching model 10 are placed on the platform at the bottom of the micro experimental frame 8. The camera 7 is mounted on the bracket at the top of the micro experimental frame 8. The camera 7 is electrically connected to the computer 11. A first water supply line 5 is connected between the bottom outlet of the constant pressure water tank 1 and the inlet of the glass etching model 10. A third water supply line 28 is connected between the outlet of the glass etching model 10 and the bottom inlet of the measuring cylinder 12.

[0030] As needed, the seepage process in an oil reservoir can be simulated by connecting a micro-displacement device to a constant-pressure water supply device. Specifically, a camera 7, in conjunction with a bottom light source 9, captures the seepage displacement process of the glass-etched model 10, and the process is observed and recorded by a computer 11.

When the electromagnetic valve 19 is opened, the vacuum pump 17 starts to work, a negative pressure is formed in the vacuum bottle 16, and the liquid in the measuring cylinder 12 is sucked into the vacuum bottle 16 through the vacuum hose 13. When the vacuum electromagnetic valve 19 is closed, the vacuum pump 17 stops working, the pressure in the vacuum bottle 16 remains unchanged, and no liquid is discharged into the vacuum bottle 16. This process can simulate the upstroke and downstroke of the rod pump.
