[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for calculating the diameter of an adjustable opening oil nozzle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0047] According to the flow formula of the gas well based on production, oil nozzle and oil pressure, define the flow factor and obtain the flow factor definition formula;

[0048] According to the gas well data of fixed nozzle and the flow factor definition formula, the calculation formula of the diameter of the adjustable nozzle based on production and oil pressure is obtained;

[0049] The diameter of the adjustable opening nozzle is calculated based on the calculation formula of the diameter of the adjustable opening nozzle based on the production and oil pressure and the production and oil pressure data of the gas well.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, the flow formula of the gas well based on production, oil nozzle and oil pressure is obtained based on the flow formula, area formula and Bernoulli equation of the gas well. The specific derivation process is as follows:

[0051] The flow rate formula of the gas well is shown in formula (1):

[0052] Q = Sv (1);

[0053] Among them, Q is the production of the gas well, S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the nozzle, and v is the oil flow rate.

[0054] The area formula is shown in formula (2):

[0055]

[0056] Where D is the diameter of the nozzle and S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the nozzle.

[0057] The Bernoulli equation is shown in formula (3):

[0058]

[0059] Where P is the natural gas pressure, ρ is the natural gas density, and V is the natural gas volume.

[0060] The flow rate formula of the gas well is derived according to formulas (1), (2) and (3), and the flow rate formula of the gas well based on production, oil nozzle and oil pressure is obtained, as shown in formula (4):

[0061]

[0062] Among them, μ is the flow coefficient, which is related to the friction resistance of the oil nozzle and oil pipe.

[0063] The flow factor is defined and the flow factor definition formula is obtained according to the flow formula of the gas well based on production, oil nozzle and oil pressure. The specific operation is as follows:

[0064] After integrating all parameters except oil pressure and nozzle diameter in formula (4), a new coefficient is obtained, and the coefficient is defined as flow factor K, that is, the flow factor definition formula is obtained, as shown in formula (5):

[0065]

[0066] The formula for defining the diameter of the adjustable nozzle opening based on the gas well data and flow factor of the fixed nozzle is obtained, including:

[0067] According to the flow formula of the gas well based on the production, oil nozzle and oil pressure and the flow factor definition formula, a flow factor calculation formula based on the production, oil nozzle and oil pressure is obtained;

[0068] According to the gas well data of fixed nozzle and the flow factor calculation formula based on production, nozzle and oil pressure, the relationship formula between flow factor and oil pressure is obtained;

[0069] According to the flow factor calculation formula and the relationship formula between the flow factor and the oil pressure, the calculation formula for the diameter of the adjustable opening oil nozzle based on the output and the oil pressure is obtained.

[0070] Specifically, the flow factor calculation formula based on production, oil nozzle and oil pressure is obtained according to the flow formula of the gas well based on production, oil nozzle and oil pressure and the flow factor definition formula, and the operation is as follows:

[0071] First, according to formulas (4) and (5), the flow factor calculation formula based on production, nozzle and oil pressure is obtained, as shown in formula (6):

[0072]

[0073] According to the gas well data of the fixed nozzle and the flow factor calculation formula based on production, nozzle and oil pressure, the relationship formula between the flow factor and the oil pressure is obtained, which is as follows:

[0074] According to the gas well data with fixed nozzles, that is, according to the known production Q, oil pressure P and nozzle D data, the K value can be obtained by substituting it into formula (8). The oil pressure and K value are fitted to obtain the empirical formula shown in (7):

[0075] K=223.37*P 0.3777 (7);

[0076] In this embodiment, the specific oil pressure and K value simulation curve is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0077] The calculation formula of the flow factor and the relationship formula between the flow factor and the oil pressure are transformed to obtain the calculation formula of the diameter of the adjustable opening oil nozzle based on the output and the oil pressure, which is specifically as follows:

[0078] Based on the derivation of formula (6) and formula (7), the calculation formula of the adjustable opening nozzle diameter based on production and oil pressure is obtained, as shown in formula (8):

[0079]

[0080] According to the calculation formula of the adjustable opening nozzle diameter based on production and oil pressure and the production and oil pressure data of the gas well, the diameter of the adjustable opening nozzle is calculated. That is, the production and oil pressure data of the new gas well are substituted into formula (8) to obtain the diameter of the adjustable opening nozzle.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, the calculation of the fixed nozzle diameter is applied and compared with the actual nozzle. Figure 3 As shown, from Figure 2 It can be seen from the relationship in that the error between the calculated nozzle diameter and the actual nozzle diameter is less than 10%, indicating that the formula (8) obtained in this embodiment has good reliability in calculating the nozzle diameter.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, formula (8) is used to calculate the diameter of the adjustable opening nozzle. The Keshen XX well (A gas well) has been put into production since 2014 and has been in stable production for 6 years. In the early stage, fixed nozzles were used, and in the later stage, adjustable opening nozzles were used. The nozzle curve calculated by formula (8) is shown as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the figure, at the same time, the oil pressure and production of the gas well are shown in Figure 5 As shown;

[0083] from Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that when the fixed nozzle is used in the early stage, the calculated value and the actual value are basically consistent. After the adjustable nozzle is used in the later stage, the actual nozzle value gradually increases, and the daily output is also increasing. This shows that the change trend of the adjustable nozzle parameters can provide early warning and decision-making for gas reservoir engineers.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, formula (8) is used to calculate the diameter of the adjustable opening nozzle. The Keshen X well (B gas well) has been put into production since 2013 and has been in stable production for 2 years. The nozzle curve is calculated using this formula as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, at the same time, the oil pressure and production of the gas well are shown in Figure 7 As shown;

[0085] from Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the calculated value and the actual value are basically consistent. After water came out of the formation in 2015, the calculated oil nozzle had a large deviation from the actual oil nozzle, indicating the occurrence of abnormal conditions. For wells with fixed oil nozzles, abnormal wells can be predicted by comparing the calculated oil nozzle with the actual oil nozzle.

[0087] The flow factor definition module is used to define the flow factor and obtain the flow factor definition formula according to the flow formula of the gas well based on the production, oil nozzle and oil pressure;

[0088] The adjustable opening nozzle diameter calculation formula acquisition module is used to define a formula according to the gas well data and flow factor of the fixed nozzle, and obtain the adjustable opening nozzle diameter calculation formula based on production and oil pressure;

[0089] The adjustable opening nozzle diameter calculation module is used to calculate the adjustable opening nozzle diameter according to the adjustable opening nozzle diameter calculation formula based on production and oil pressure and the production and oil pressure data of the gas well.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present invention, the calculation formula acquisition module for the diameter of the adjustable opening oil nozzle includes a flow factor calculation formula acquisition submodule based on the output, the oil nozzle and the oil pressure, a flow factor and oil pressure relationship formula acquisition submodule and a formula conversion submodule;

[0091] The flow factor calculation formula acquisition submodule based on production, oil nozzle and oil pressure is used to obtain the flow factor calculation formula based on production, oil nozzle and oil pressure according to the flow formula of the gas well based on production, oil nozzle and oil pressure and the flow factor definition formula;

[0092] The flow factor and oil pressure relationship formula acquisition submodule is used to obtain the flow factor and oil pressure relationship formula according to the gas well data of the fixed oil nozzle and the flow factor definition formula;

[0093] The formula conversion submodule is used to obtain a calculation formula for the diameter of the adjustable opening oil nozzle based on the output and the oil pressure according to the flow factor calculation formula and the relationship formula between the flow factor and the oil pressure.

[0094] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications or substitutions do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
