Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical fiber monitoring, and in particular to an online comprehensive optical fiber monitoring system for a salt cavern compressed air energy storage reservoir wellbore. Background Art

[0002] my country's electricity consumption shows obvious peak-valley characteristics. How to reduce peaks and fill valleys, save energy resources, and effectively improve the peak-shaving capacity of regional power grids is of great significance. Using abandoned salt mines as gas storage and using underground caves such as salt caverns to build large-capacity power stations will significantly reduce the costs of raw materials and land. However, the biggest technical difficulty lies in underground gas storage. Based on the traditional thermal power construction, it is very mature, and the burial depth of underground salt caverns is often seven or eight hundred or even thousands of meters. Gas injection, gas production, brine drainage, geothermal heat, etc. cause the salt cavity well conditions to be abnormally complex and changeable. The loss of control of the gas-liquid interface position may cause the cavity morphology to be distorted. In severe cases, it may cause the cavity morphology to be out of control, and eventually cause the cavity to collapse or even be scrapped. Therefore, high requirements are put forward for real-time and accurate monitoring and on-site installation technology. It is particularly important to monitor the temperature, pressure, brine level, wellbore deformation, and vibration leakage in the salt cavern cavity and wellbore during real-time online monitoring of injection, gas production, that is, charging and discharging. At present, there is a specific test method for a certain parameter. For example, neutron logging can be used to test the brine interface. However, neutron logging requires regular testing and cannot be monitored online in real time. It is costly and has a high risk when testing at the high-pressure wellhead. It is also impossible to test other parameters at the same time. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive testing system that can monitor all parameters online at the same time to ensure the safety of salt caverns and wellbores.

[0046] Distributed fiber temperature sensing (DTS) technology uses a single optical fiber to measure temperature and transmit data signals, and uses the principles of fiber Raman scattering and optical time domain reflectometry to obtain the spatial distribution of temperature fields.

[0047] Distributed fiber temperature sensing technology (DTS) can realize continuous measurement of temperature field. When triggered by the synchronous control unit, the laser generates high-power light pulses, which enter the sensing fiber after passing through the optical path coupler. When the high-energy pulse propagates forward, backward Raman scattering is generated. Raman scattering will form two optical signals of different frequencies: Stokes light and anti-Stokes light. Among them, the anti-Stokes light changes with the external temperature, and the fiber temperature sensor changes, which causes the spectrum reflected by the fiber temperature sensor to change. The reflected spectrum is received by the ground temperature demodulator, and the temperature distribution of the downhole sampling point is obtained after wavelength demodulation and temperature calibration. Due to the different specific heat capacities of different media [water is 4200 J / (kg·℃), air is 1030 J / (kg·℃)], the heat exchange between gas and brine on the optical cable is also different. The heating rate or cooling rate of the optical cable in different media is different, which will produce a temperature gradient at the interface of the medium. By recording the spatial distribution of temperature and processing the temperature data, the depth position of the interface can be calculated, and the brine gas-liquid interface can be displayed and recorded with the help of software.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2One end of the temperature and pressure monitoring single-mode optical fiber is connected to the optical fiber temperature and pressure gauge in the counterweight sealed cavity 9, and the other end is connected to the optical fiber temperature and pressure gauge demodulator 15 through the ground armored photoelectric composite transfer cable 13 to monitor the temperature and pressure at the counterweight sealed cavity 9.
