[0036] The specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the embodiment of the present invention, and is not used to limit the embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] See also Figure 1 As shown, it is a flowchart of an implementation method of a downhole gas detection method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, including the following execution steps:

[0038] Step 100: Collect downhole gas data, and determine corresponding infrared spectrum data based on the downhole gas data.

[0039] Specifically, when executing step 100, a gas detector may be deployed in the area to be tested, and a Fourier infrared spectrometer provided in the gas detector may be controlled to emit infrared light and receive infrared spectrum data after interaction with the gas to be tested.

[0040] Step 101: Perform Fourier transform on the infrared spectrum data to obtain spectrum absorption peaks.

[0041] Specifically, when executing step 101, the following steps may be specifically performed:

[0042] S1010: Input the infrared spectrum data into a Fourier transform program, perform transformation calculations, and output an initial infrared spectrum graph.

[0043] Specifically, the infrared spectrum data may be subjected to Fourier transform according to the following formula:

[0044]

[0045] Where X[k] represents discrete Fourier transform, n represents sample index, and k represents frequency index. A factor that represents the frequency resolution, where i represents the imaginary unit.

[0046] S1011: In the infrared spectrum, the impurity peaks in the initial infrared spectrum are filtered out using an infrared spectrum database to obtain a target infrared spectrum, wherein the infrared spectrum database contains infrared absorption characteristic peak wavelengths of chemical bonds or functional groups of various gases and background light.

[0047] Step 102: Identify the type and concentration of underground gas based on a pre-established gas infrared spectrum database and spectral absorption peaks.

[0048] Specifically, when executing step 102, the following steps may be specifically performed:

[0049] S1020: Compare the spectral absorption peak with the infrared absorption characteristic peak of the chemical bond or functional group of each gas in a pre-established gas infrared spectrum database to determine the chemical bond or functional group corresponding to the characteristic absorption peak generated at different wavelengths in the infrared spectrum.

[0050] S1021: Determine the gas molecular formula according to the chemical bonds or functional groups corresponding to the characteristic absorption peaks generated at different wavelengths in the infrared spectrum, and determine the type of the gas based on the gas molecular formula.

[0051] S1022: Determine the concentration of a gas using the Lambert-Beer law.

[0052] Specifically, the absorbance calculation formula is used to calculate the absorbance corresponding to the characteristic absorption peak; the obtained absorbance is substituted into the Lambert-Beer law formula to obtain the concentration of the gas corresponding to the characteristic absorption peak; wherein, the absorbance calculation formula is as follows: In the formula, A represents absorbance, I0 represents the incident light intensity, and I represents the intensity at the absorption peak; the Lambert-Beer law formula is as follows: A=Kbc, in the formula, A represents absorbance, K represents the molar absorption coefficient of the gas, b represents the optical path length, and c represents the concentration of the gas.

[0053] In some embodiments, the implementation process of the downhole gas detection method further includes determining whether the concentration of each type of downhole gas exceeds a preset concentration threshold, and if so, issuing an alarm message.

[0054] For example, the types of detected gases include oxygen, toxic gas hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and combustible gas, among which the normal value of oxygen concentration is 19.5%-23.5%, the concentration of toxic gas hydrogen sulfide must be lower than 7ppm, the concentration of carbon monoxide must be lower than 25ppm, and the combustible gas must be lower than 10%LEL. It should be understood that the preset concentration threshold can be set according to the actual application scenario and is not limited here.

[0055] Through the above technical solution, infrared spectroscopy technology can be used to capture the vibration information of gas molecules at extremely low concentrations, thereby realizing accurate measurement of underground gas concentration. Moreover, for underground environments with complex and changeable environments and the presence of multiple gases mixed, infrared spectroscopy technology can be used to simultaneously detect the characteristic absorption peaks of multiple gases, thereby realizing effective identification and separation of mixed gases, and further realizing comprehensive and accurate monitoring of underground gases to provide a safe working environment.

[0056] See also Figure 2As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of a gas detector applied to a downhole gas detection method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, comprising: an air inlet nozzle, a filter connected to the air inlet nozzle, and a Fourier infrared spectrometer; a microprocessor, a display screen connected to the microprocessor, an alarm, and a communication module; a control host, and a mobile terminal connected to the control host, wherein the Fourier infrared spectrometer is used to perform infrared spectral data analysis on the gas collected by the air inlet nozzle, the communication module is used for real-time transmission of data, and the microprocessor is used for data processing, display and alarm.

[0057] See also Figure 2 As shown, the alarm includes a vibration alarm and a buzzer alarm (which can be directly voice broadcast), the mobile terminal includes an app and a small program, and the microprocessor is also provided with a power supply, a USB communication port, and a storage module.

[0058] The gas content in a confined space is detected by a gas detector. The gas detector has the function of wireless signal transmission. In order to ensure the speed and accuracy of transmission, 5G wireless communication can be used. The low latency function of 5G transmission can be used to ensure the real-time sharing of gas content information in a confined space and protect the personal safety of workers in the well.

[0059] In some embodiments, confined space operations must strictly implement the requirement of ventilation before detection. First, ventilation is performed for a period of time, the gas detector is first turned on and preheated, and then the air inlet nozzle is inserted into the catheter, and the catheter is inserted into the well or other confined space operation area that needs to be detected. After the gas detector is preheated, detection begins, such as measuring the gas content of oxygen, toxic gas hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and combustible gas. When the gas content does not exceed the standard, it operates normally. When the gas content exceeds the standard, the gas lift detector begins to buzz and alarm.

[0060] In some embodiments, various types of gas sensors may be provided in the gas detector, such as electrochemical sensors, which work by reacting with the detected target gas and generating an electrical signal proportional to the gas concentration.

[0061] In some embodiments, the gas detector can be carried by the workers in the well to the confined space areas such as underground. The workers in the well can directly observe the gas content in the well through the gas detector display screen, and the monitoring personnel outside the well can directly observe the gas content in the well on the mobile terminal through the matching app and mini-program. When there are multiple confined space operations at the same work site, the gas content in each confined space can be synchronized to the terminal app and mini-program. When the confined space monitoring personnel find that the gas content in the area not under their supervision is unqualified, they can simultaneously tell the confined space workers under their supervision to evacuate simultaneously, thereby forming a linkage mechanism for convenient safety management and control.
