Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of natural gas exploitation, drainage and gas production, and in particular to a gas well liquid accumulation real-time monitoring device and method based on modular digital oil pipes. Background Art
[0002] Liquid accumulation in gas wells is usually caused by the decrease in formation pressure and the decrease in gas well productivity, which leads to an increase in the wellbore temperature gradient, causing some components of natural gas to condense in the wellbore to form condensate. At the same time, the insufficient gas reservoir energy makes the gas production of the gas well insufficient to carry out these condensates, causing them to fall back to the bottom of the well and accumulate. In addition, during the development of natural gas, edge water and bottom water are produced, causing formation water to enter the wellbore with natural gas and accumulate at the bottom of the well. These factors work together to cause liquid accumulation in the wellbore of the gas well, affecting the normal production and efficiency of the gas well. Not only will it reduce the production of the gas well, it may also cause gas well flooding in serious cases. Therefore, various drainage gas production measures have been born, such as gas lift, plunger, foam drainage gas production, and optimal pipe column drainage gas production. In recent years, the amount of downhole liquid accumulation has been of key significance for drainage gas production, especially in the Sichuan and Chongqing regions, where drainage gas production is a common problem in the late stage of production of shale gas wells, but there is still a lack of direct measurement methods, which affects the integrity and accuracy of production data.
[0003] At present, there are many methods for judging liquid accumulation in gas wells. Except for the pressure gradient method and the echo sounder monitoring method, other methods such as the wellhead casing pressure judgment method and the production experience judgment method are not direct measurement methods, and the accuracy of the calculated results cannot be guaranteed. The pressure gradient method uses the steel wire and the sensor spacing lowering device for measurement. It is suitable for short-term steel wire rope downhole monitoring, but not suitable for situations where there are downhole tools in the pipe column (such as plunger drainage gas production), and it affects normal production and is not suitable for long-term downhole monitoring. The echo sounder monitoring method has a lower measurement accuracy than the pressure gradient method and is affected by downhole cleaning conditions, environmental noise, etc. At the same time, the signal needs to be analyzed and processed, which is technically difficult. Accurately calculating the amount of liquid accumulated at the bottom of a liquid-accumulated gas well is an unavoidable problem that must be solved. Therefore, a new direct method is needed to monitor the height of the liquid accumulated at the bottom of the well in real time.
[0004] Traditional electronic downhole pressure gauges have problems such as electromagnetic interference and insufficient tolerance to high temperature and high pressure underground, and a pressure gauge often has multiple wires. Fiber optic sensors are resistant to electromagnetic interference, high temperature and high pressure, and do not require electricity. In particular, they can multiplex multiple channels, so that multiple signal transmissions can be achieved with just one optical fiber. They are very suitable for the use of multi-sensor series pressure monitoring in oil wells. To this end, we have introduced a real-time monitoring device and method for gas well liquid accumulation based on modular digital oil pipes. Summary of the invention

[0024] The downhole signal transmission method is:
[0025] The light source is emitted by the wellhead laser, and the optical signal is connected between digital oil pipes through the optical fiber collimator of the digital oil pipe. N fiber Bragg grating sensors use n Bragg gratings with different reflection wavelengths to be arranged along a single optical fiber and are placed at n different monitoring positions of the traditional oil pipe. When the physical quantity to be measured at these positions changes, the wavelength coded signal reflected back by each Bragg grating carries the change information of the physical quantity to be measured at the corresponding position. The change of the physical quantity to be measured can be obtained by decoding through the fiber Bragg grating modulator at the receiving end and analyzing the Bragg wavelength displacement, thereby realizing real-time and online monitoring of multiple monitoring positions by one optical fiber line.
[0026] The gas well liquid accumulation monitoring method mainly comprises the following steps:
[0027] Step 1: Data acquisition, using digital tubing to transmit power and signals, a pressure gauge holder is arranged every 300m, and a bottom hole pressure gauge holder with three fiber grating sensors is arranged at the bottom hole tubing shoe to measure the density of the liquid over a short distance, so as to increase the number of pressure measurement points, obtain the pressure data arranged along the well depth, and obtain the depth of each pressure gauge holder, casing diameter, tubing diameter, liquid density, gas density, wellhead tubing pressure and other data;
[0028] Step 2: According to the relationship between the depth of liquid accumulation and the position of the bottom hole sensor group, the liquid accumulation situation is divided into three situations according to the judgment conditions: above the bottom hole pressure gauge support tube, between the bottom hole pressure gauge support tube, and below the bottom hole pressure gauge support tube;
[0029] Step 3: Combined with the pressure monitoring data value, when the pressure gradient monitored by the three fiber Bragg grating pressure sensors on the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is greater than 0.2MPa / 100m, and the pressure gradients between adjacent fiber Bragg grating sensors are equal (ΔP1 / 100=ΔP2 / 100) and the data value is relatively stable, it is determined that the liquid accumulation depth is above the bottom hole pressure gauge holder. According to the multi-point pressure data tested, the pressure trend lines of the gas phase and the liquid phase are fitted, and the intersection of the two trend lines is the liquid accumulation depth in the casing annulus;
[0030] Step 4: Combined with the pressure monitoring data value, when the pressure gradient monitored by the fiber Bragg grating pressure sensor on the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is greater than 0.2MPa / 100m, but the pressure gradients between adjacent fiber Bragg grating sensors are unequal and unstable, it is determined that the liquid accumulation depth is located between the bottom hole pressure gauge holders. Since the length of this section of the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is short, the amount of liquid accumulation is small, and the middle depth of the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is considered to be the liquid accumulation depth;
[0031] Step 5: Combined with the pressure monitoring data value, when the pressure gradient monitored by the two fiber Bragg grating pressure sensors at the bottom of the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is less than 0.2MPa / 100m, it is determined that the depth of the liquid accumulation is below the bottom hole pressure gauge holder, and the depth of the liquid accumulation is calculated according to the pressure change of the fiber Bragg grating sensor at the bottom and the liquid density described in step 1;
[0032] Step 6: Calculate the depth of liquid accumulation in the tubing based on the depth of liquid accumulation in the casing annulus and the real-time measured density of liquid accumulation.
[0033] A real-time monitoring method for liquid accumulation in gas wells based on modular digital oil pipes, wherein the detailed calculation steps of liquid accumulation in step 3 are as follows:
[0034] The pressure gradient inflection point was determined by using ΔP / 100>0.2MPa / 100m as the judgment condition, and the pressure data were divided into two groups according to the inflection point;
[0035] The depth of each sensor from the wellhead to the well is set to x1, x2....x n , m, pressure data is set to y1, y2...y n , MPa;
[0036] The gas-liquid two-phase pressure trend lines are set as:
[0037] y=a1x+b1
[0038] y=a2x+b2
[0039] Where a1 and b1 are the parameters of the gas phase trend line equation, and a2 and b2 are the parameters of the liquid phase trend line equation;
[0040] The parameter calculation formula is:
[0041]
[0042] The depth of the effusion is:
[0043]
[0044] Where x0 is the depth of effusion, m.
[0045] The calculation of the liquid accumulation depth in step 5 includes: the liquid accumulation depth changes from above the lowermost fiber Bragg grating sensor to below the lowermost fiber Bragg grating sensor, and the liquid accumulation depth is below the lowermost fiber Bragg grating sensor;
[0046] When the depth of the accumulated liquid changes from above the lowest fiber grating sensor to below the lowest fiber grating sensor, the calculation method is:
[0047]
[0048] Where h 液Indicates the depth of liquid accumulation in the casing, m; H0 indicates the depth of the lowest fiber Bragg grating sensor, m; P2 indicates the latest pressure value measured by the lowest fiber Bragg grating sensor, MPa; P1 indicates the last pressure value measured by the lowest fiber Bragg grating sensor, MPa; ρ 气 Indicates the measured gas density, kg / m 3 ; g represents the acceleration due to gravity, m / s 2 ; A represents the amplification factor, which is ρ 液 / ρ 气 ;
[0049] When the liquid accumulation depth is below the lowest fiber grating sensor, the calculation method is:
[0050]
[0051] Where h0 represents the depth of effusion at the last measurement;
[0052] The calculation method in step six is:
[0053]
[0054] Where h 液 Indicates the depth of liquid accumulation in the oil pipe, m; P 井底 Indicates the actual pressure measured by the fiber grating sensor at the bottom, MPa; P 井口 Indicates the measured pressure in the wellhead tubing, MPa; ρ 气 Indicates the gas density in the oil pipe measured at the wellhead, kg / m 3 ρ 液 Indicates the measured liquid density underground, kg / m 3 ; g represents the acceleration due to gravity, m / s 2 ; H represents the depth of the bottom fiber Bragg grating sensor, m.
[0055] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0056] 1. Install all components on the oil pipe, and complete the docking of the digital oil pipe to complete the transmission of power and signals, which is easy to operate.
[0057] 2. This device does not change the structure of the traditional oil pipe string. The transmission of signals and power does not require the installation of additional special transmission joints between the pipe strings, and the overall strength of the pipe string remains unchanged.
[0058] 3. When two digital oil pipes are butt-jointed, it is only necessary to position the fixed connection device and the movable connection device axially and circumferentially to achieve the butt-jointing of the power transmission female connector, the power transmission male connector, and the optical fiber collimator in the digital oil pipe, thereby realizing the transmission of power and signals. The operation is simple and does not require other connector plug-in operations.
[0059] 4. There is a spring inside the power transmission female head, and the contact surfaces of the male and female heads have the same taper. After the power is connected, the spring is in a compressed state, making the male and female heads fit tightly.
[0060] 5. Use fiber optic collimator to transmit optical signals and realize contactless optical signal transmission.
[0061] 6. Thanks to the modular design, armored optical cables and armored electrical cables bear less cable tension and reduce the chance of cable twisting and entanglement, increasing the service life and reliability of underground cables at vertical distances of up to several thousand meters and high temperatures and pressures.
[0062] 7. The wellhead crossing flange is installed on the side pipe of the tubing spool. When in use, there is no need to change the original gas tree structure. It is easy to install and can be installed vertically or horizontally. The crossing flange can be connected through the flange connection.
[0063] 8. The wellhead sealing flange has good safety. A gas leakage monitoring device is installed on the upper side of the flange and is equipped with a corresponding gas monitoring box. When the wellhead sealing flange fails, monitoring and alarm are carried out. At the same time, an electric valve is equipped to prevent gas leakage. At the same time, the electric valve is behind the manual gate to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the leakage point of the device at the wellhead.
[0064] 9. Use optical fiber for signal transmission, with higher transmission rate and more stable.
[0065] 10. Using fiber grating sensors, multi-sensor signal transmission only requires one fiber channel, reducing the number of signal lines used.
[0066] 11. The device does not occupy the space inside the oil pipe and is suitable for almost all drainage and gas production processes.
[0067] 12. The system monitors the pressure at multiple points in the well in real time, without using theoretical models to calculate the depth of liquid accumulation, making the calculation result more accurate.
[0068] 13. It can monitor the accumulated liquid in the gas well in real time for a long time, making the depth of the accumulated liquid in the well transparent. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0100] The tubing hanger 102 cooperates with the conical surface of the tubing spool 103 to hang the conventional tubing 302 and bear the weight of the conventional tubing 302 through its conical surface. The tubing spool 103, the manual gate 104, the electric gate 105, the T-flange 106 and the through flange 107 are connected by flanges.

[0104] In addition, in order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention also provides a method for real-time monitoring of liquid accumulation in gas wells based on modular digital oil pipes, which is used in the above-mentioned real-time monitoring device for liquid accumulation in gas wells, including a downhole signal transmission method and a gas well liquid accumulation calculation method;
[0105] The downhole signal transmission method is:
[0106] The light source is emitted by the wellhead laser, and the optical signal is connected between digital oil pipes through the optical fiber collimator of the digital oil pipe. N fiber Bragg grating sensors use n Bragg gratings with different reflection wavelengths to be arranged along a single optical fiber and are placed at n different monitoring positions of the traditional oil pipe. When the physical quantity to be measured at these positions changes, the wavelength coded signal reflected back by each Bragg grating carries the change information of the physical quantity to be measured at the corresponding position. The change of the physical quantity to be measured can be obtained by decoding through the fiber Bragg grating modulator at the receiving end and analyzing the Bragg wavelength displacement, thereby realizing real-time and online monitoring of multiple monitoring positions by one optical fiber line.
[0107] The gas well liquid loading monitoring method mainly includes the following steps:
[0108] Step 1: Data acquisition, using digital tubing to transmit power and signals, a pressure gauge holder is arranged every 300m, and a bottom hole pressure gauge holder with three fiber grating sensors is arranged at the bottom hole tubing shoe to measure the density of the liquid over a short distance, so as to increase the number of pressure measurement points, obtain the pressure data arranged along the well depth, and obtain the depth of each pressure gauge holder, casing diameter, tubing diameter, liquid density, gas density, wellhead tubing pressure and other data;
[0109] Step 2: According to the relationship between the depth of liquid accumulation and the position of the bottom hole sensor group, the liquid accumulation situation is divided into three situations according to the judgment conditions: above the bottom hole pressure gauge support tube, between the bottom hole pressure gauge support tube, and below the bottom hole pressure gauge support tube;
[0110] Step 3: Combined with the pressure monitoring data value, when the pressure gradient monitored by the three fiber Bragg grating pressure sensors on the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is greater than 0.2MPa / 100m, and the pressure gradients between adjacent fiber Bragg grating sensors are equal ΔP1 / 100=ΔP2 / 100 and the data value is relatively stable, it is determined that the liquid accumulation depth is above the bottom hole pressure gauge holder. According to the multi-point pressure data tested, the pressure trend lines of the gas phase and the liquid phase are fitted, and the intersection of the two trend lines is the liquid accumulation depth in the casing annulus;
[0111] Step 4: Combined with the pressure monitoring data value, when the pressure gradient monitored by the fiber Bragg grating pressure sensor on the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is greater than 0.2MPa / 100m, but the pressure gradients between adjacent fiber Bragg grating sensors are unequal and unstable, it is determined that the liquid accumulation depth is located between the bottom hole pressure gauge holders. Since the length of this section of the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is short, the amount of liquid accumulation is small, and the middle depth of the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is considered to be the liquid accumulation depth;
[0112] Step 5: Combined with the pressure monitoring data value, when the pressure gradient monitored by the two fiber Bragg grating pressure sensors at the bottom of the bottom hole pressure gauge support is less than 0.2MPa / 100m, it is determined that the depth of the liquid accumulation is below the bottom hole pressure gauge support, and the depth of the liquid accumulation is calculated based on the pressure change of the fiber Bragg grating sensor at the bottom and the liquid density in step 1;
[0113] Step 6: Calculate the depth of liquid accumulation in the tubing based on the depth of liquid accumulation in the casing annulus and the real-time measured density of liquid accumulation.
[0114] A real-time monitoring method for liquid accumulation in gas wells based on modular digital oil pipes, wherein the detailed calculation steps of liquid accumulation in step 3 are as follows:
[0115] The pressure gradient inflection point was determined by using ΔP / 100>0.2MPa / 100m as the judgment condition, and the pressure data were divided into two groups according to the inflection point;
[0116] The depth of each sensor from the wellhead to the well is set to x1, x2....x n , m; pressure data is set to y1, y2...y n , MPa;
[0117] The gas-liquid two-phase pressure trend lines are set as:
[0118] y=a1x+b1
[0119] y=a2x+b2
[0120] Where a1 and b1 are the parameters of the gas phase trend line equation, and a2 and b2 are the parameters of the liquid phase trend line equation;
[0121] The parameter calculation formula is:
[0122]
[0123] The depth of the effusion is:
[0124]
[0125] Where x0 is the depth of effusion, m.
[0126] The calculation of the liquid accumulation depth in step 5 includes: the liquid accumulation depth changes from above the lowermost fiber Bragg grating sensor to below the lowermost fiber Bragg grating sensor, and the liquid accumulation depth is below the lowermost fiber Bragg grating sensor;
[0127] When the depth of the accumulated liquid changes from above the lowest fiber grating sensor to below the lowest fiber grating sensor, the calculation method is:
[0128]
[0129] Where h 液 Indicates the depth of liquid accumulation in the casing, m; H0 indicates the depth of the lowest fiber Bragg grating sensor, m; P2 indicates the latest pressure value measured by the lowest fiber Bragg grating sensor, MPa; P1 indicates the last pressure value measured by the lowest fiber Bragg grating sensor, MPa; ρ 气 Indicates the measured gas density, kg / m 3 ; g represents the acceleration due to gravity, m / s 2 ; A represents the amplification factor, which is ρ 液 / ρ 气 ;
[0130] When the liquid accumulation depth is below the lowest fiber grating sensor, the calculation method is:
[0131]
[0132] Where h0 represents the depth of effusion at the last measurement;
[0133] The calculation method in step six is:
[0134]
[0135] Where h 液 Indicates the depth of liquid accumulation in the oil pipe, m; P 井底 Indicates the actual pressure measured by the fiber grating sensor at the bottom, MPa; P 井口 Indicates the measured pressure in the wellhead tubing, MPa; ρ 气 Indicates the gas density in the oil pipe measured at the wellhead, kg / m 3 ρliquid represents the measured liquid density downhole, kg / m 3 ; g represents the acceleration due to gravity, m / s 2 ; H represents the depth of the bottom fiber Bragg grating sensor, m.

10. A method for real-time monitoring of liquid accumulation in gas wells based on modular digital oil pipes, used in the real-time monitoring device for liquid accumulation in gas wells as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: Including downhole signal transmission method and gas well liquid accumulation calculation method; The downhole signal transmission method is: The light source is emitted by the wellhead laser, and the optical signal is connected between digital oil pipes through the optical fiber collimator of the digital oil pipe. N fiber Bragg grating sensors use n Bragg gratings with different reflection wavelengths to be arranged along a single optical fiber and are placed at n different monitoring positions of the traditional oil pipe. When the physical quantity to be measured at these positions changes, the wavelength coded signal reflected back by each Bragg grating carries the change information of the physical quantity to be measured at the corresponding position. The change of the physical quantity to be measured can be obtained by decoding through the fiber Bragg grating modulator at the receiving end and analyzing the Bragg wavelength displacement, thereby realizing real-time and online monitoring of multiple monitoring positions by one optical fiber line. The gas well liquid accumulation monitoring method mainly comprises the following steps: Step 1: Data acquisition, using digital tubing to transmit power and signals, a pressure gauge holder is arranged every 300m, and a bottom hole pressure gauge holder with three fiber grating sensors is arranged at the bottom hole tubing shoe to measure the density of the liquid over a short distance, so as to increase the number of pressure measurement points, obtain the pressure data arranged along the well depth, and obtain the depth of each pressure gauge holder, casing diameter, tubing diameter, liquid density, gas density, and pressure data in the wellhead tubing; Step 2: According to the relationship between the depth of liquid accumulation and the position of the bottom hole sensor group, the liquid accumulation situation is divided into three situations according to the judgment conditions: above the bottom hole pressure gauge support tube, between the bottom hole pressure gauge support tube, and below the bottom hole pressure gauge support tube; Step 3: Combined with the pressure monitoring data value, when the pressure gradient monitored by the three fiber Bragg grating pressure sensors on the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is greater than 0.2MPa / 100m, and the pressure gradients between adjacent fiber Bragg grating sensors are equal (ΔP1 / 100=ΔP2 / 100) and the data value is relatively stable, it is determined that the liquid accumulation depth is above the bottom hole pressure gauge holder. According to the multi-point pressure data tested, the pressure trend lines of the gas phase and the liquid phase are fitted, and the intersection of the two trend lines is the liquid accumulation depth in the casing annulus; Step 4: Combined with the pressure monitoring data value, when the pressure gradient monitored by the fiber Bragg grating pressure sensor on the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is greater than 0.2MPa / 100m, but the pressure gradients between adjacent fiber Bragg grating sensors are unequal and unstable, it is determined that the liquid accumulation depth is located between the bottom hole pressure gauge holders. Since the length of this section of the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is short, the amount of liquid accumulation is small, and the middle depth of the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is considered to be the liquid accumulation depth; Step 5: Combined with the pressure monitoring data value, when the pressure gradient monitored by the two fiber Bragg grating pressure sensors at the bottom of the bottom hole pressure gauge holder is less than 0.2MPa / 100m, it is determined that the depth of the liquid accumulation is below the bottom hole pressure gauge holder, and the depth of the liquid accumulation is calculated according to the pressure change of the fiber Bragg grating sensor at the bottom and the liquid density described in step 1; Step 6: Calculate the depth of liquid accumulation in the oil pipe according to the depth of liquid accumulation in the casing annulus and the real-time measured density of liquid accumulation; The detailed calculation steps for the effusion in step 3 are as follows: The pressure gradient inflection point was determined by using ΔP / 100>0.2MPa / 100m as the judgment condition, and the pressure data were divided into two groups according to the inflection point; The depth of each sensor from the wellhead to the well is set to x1, x2....x n , m; pressure data is set to y1, y2...y n , MPa; The gas-liquid two-phase pressure trend lines are set as: y=a1x+b1 y=a2x+b2 Where a1 and b1 are the parameters of the gas phase trend line equation, and a2 and b2 are the parameters of the liquid phase trend line equation; The parameter calculation formula is: The depth of the effusion is: Where x0 is the depth of effusion, m; The calculation of the effusion depth in step 5 includes: the effusion depth changes from above the lowermost fiber Bragg grating sensor to below the lowermost fiber Bragg grating sensor, and the effusion depth is below the lowermost fiber Bragg grating sensor; When the depth of the accumulated liquid changes from above the lowest fiber grating sensor to below the lowest fiber grating sensor, the calculation method is: Where h 液 Indicates the depth of liquid accumulation in the casing, m; H0 indicates the depth of the lowest fiber Bragg grating sensor, m; P2 indicates the latest pressure value measured by the lowest fiber Bragg grating sensor, MPa; P1 indicates the last pressure value measured by the lowest fiber Bragg grating sensor, MPa; ρ 气 Indicates the measured gas density, kg / m 3 ; g represents the acceleration due to gravity, m / s 2 ; A represents the amplification factor, which is ρ 液 / ρ 气 ; When the liquid accumulation depth is below the lowest fiber grating sensor, the calculation method is: Where h0 represents the depth of effusion at the last measurement; The calculation method in step six is: Where h 液 Indicates the depth of liquid accumulation in the oil pipe, m; P 井底 Indicates the actual pressure measured by the fiber grating sensor at the bottom, MPa; P 井口 Indicates the measured pressure in the wellhead tubing, MPa; ρ 气 Indicates the gas density in the oil pipe measured at the wellhead, kg / m 3 ; ρ 液 Indicates the measured liquid density underground, kg / m 3 ; g represents the acceleration due to gravity, m / s 2 ; H represents the depth of the bottom fiber Bragg grating sensor, m.
