Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gas intrusion monitoring, and in particular relates to a test bench for controlling gas intrusion monitoring parameters. Background Art
[0002] Oil and natural gas have become indispensable energy sources for the development of human society. In recent years, the demand for oil and natural gas has been increasing. After long-term large-scale development, the expansion of production of terrestrial and shallow-water oil and gas resources has been restricted, and deep-water oil and gas resources have become a key source for maintaining global energy supply.
[0003] The potential rich oil and gas reserves in the deep sea can provide a reliable energy supply to meet the growing global energy demand. The development of deepwater oil and gas resources is also accompanied by some challenges, including technical difficulties, environmental protection issues and safety risks. Among them, overflow is the biggest potential risk in the exploration and development of deepwater oil and gas resources; and gas invasion refers to the process in which gas invades the drilling fluid, causing the performance of the drilling fluid to deteriorate. Gas invasion will reduce the density of the drilling fluid and increase the viscosity. In severe cases, it may cause accidents such as blowouts and well collapse.
[0004] It can be seen that if the gas invasion phenomenon cannot be discovered and controlled in time, it will easily lead to a decrease in the density of the drilling fluid and gradually fail to balance the formation pressure, which may lead to a blowout (well kick) accident in severe cases. However, in the field of downhole gas invasion monitoring, there is a problem that the movement state of the gas in the pipe is difficult to analyze, resulting in the inability to make early warnings of overflow phenomena in a timely and effective manner, making it difficult to ensure the safety of deepwater drilling operations.

[0026] The present invention provides a test bench for controlling gas intrusion monitoring parameters, wherein gas is transported to a transparent tube of a main module of an experimental system through a gas supply module, and the gas flow is controlled through a monitoring and control module, thereby facilitating the execution of gas intrusion monitoring experiments and research work, and being able to timely and effectively identify gas intrusion, thereby providing an early warning of overflow phenomena, and facilitating the safety of deepwater drilling operations.
[0027] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Example Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The present embodiment provides a test bench for controlling gas intrusion monitoring parameters, including an experimental system main module 1, a gas supply module 2 and a monitoring and control module 3.

[0029] In the test bench for controlling gas intrusion monitoring parameters of this embodiment, the one-way valve 210 operates the one-way flow of gas, thereby preventing the liquid in the transparent tube 120 of the main module 1 of the experimental system from flowing back into the air pipe 220, while ensuring that gas can be introduced into the transparent tube 120 from the gas supply module 2 through the air pipe 220 when necessary.
[0030] When in use, the gas supply module 2 transports gas to the transparent tube 120 of the main module 1 of the experimental system through the gas pipe 220, and controls the gas flow through the monitoring and control module 3, so as to perform gas intrusion monitoring experiments and research work, which is conducive to timely and effective gas intrusion identification, early warning of overflow phenomena, and ensuring the safety of deep-water drilling operations.
[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The transparent tube 120 can be detachably mounted on the experimental bench frame 110 to form a split structure, so that the overall configuration of the test bench can be adjusted according to the experimental requirements. For example, the transparent tube 120 can be set to a glass tube, a transparent plastic tube or other transparent tubes, thereby achieving both portability and enhancing applicability and expanding the scope of experimental application.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The simulated drill rod 130 can be set as a round rod. The protrusion 131 can be set as a cylinder. The protrusion 131 can be set at the center of the bottom surface of the simulated drill rod 130.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 4 Specifically, at least two grooves 113 are provided, and the plurality of grooves 113 are arranged concentrically with the transparent tube 120; the innermost groove 113 is provided in a hole shape, and the remaining grooves 113 are provided in a ring shape; thereby facilitating fixing the simulated drill rod 130 at different positions of the experimental bench 110, so as to be able to adjust the eccentricity and eccentricity angle of the experimental bench 110.
[0037] The innermost groove 113 may be configured as a circular hole and may be disposed at the center of the top surface of the experimental bench 110. The remaining grooves 113 may be configured as circular rings. The plurality of grooves 113 may be distributed at equal intervals.
[0038] Specifically, at least two through holes 111 are provided, and the multiple through holes 111 are evenly distributed along the circumference; a one-way valve 210 is installed at the bottom of each through hole 111, and when the air intake position needs to be adjusted, the air pipe 220 can be connected to the through hole 111 at other positions.
[0039] Specifically, the plurality of through holes 111 are evenly distributed along at least two concentric circles, and the circles on which the through holes 111 are distributed are concentric with the transparent tube 120. The plurality of circles on which the through holes 111 are distributed may be distributed at equal intervals.
[0040] For example, the innermost groove 113 is set at the center point of the test bench 110. With the center point of the test bench 110 as the center of the circle, 8 through holes 111 evenly distributed along the circumference are set at a radius of 35 mm, 24 through holes 111 evenly distributed along the circumference are set at radii of 140 mm and 175 mm, and 36 through holes 111 evenly distributed along the circumference are set at a radius of 210 mm.

[0045] The PC 310 may be installed with control software, which is a prior art product software. The control software receives the current gas flow value monitored and displayed by the flow meter 222. When the indication of the flow meter 222 is different from the preset output gas flow value, the control software sends a signal to the gas flow control valve 221 to automatically adjust the opening size of the gas flow control valve 221 until the indication of the flow meter 222 reaches the preset output gas flow value, thereby ensuring stable gas supply.
