[0060] Affected by factors such as small downhole space and changes in supercritical carbon dioxide flow state, ground flow testing technology cannot be directly applied to downhole stratified flow control, resulting in the difficulty in realizing the key technology of stratified carbon dioxide injection, which restricts the oil recovery and recovery effects. In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the existing methods and the specific reasons for the above-mentioned problems, this application considers introducing a design and evaluation method for downhole supercritical carbon dioxide flow testing tools. In view of the fact that carbon dioxide is in a supercritical state under high temperature and high pressure conditions in the wellbore, has special properties, and is greatly affected by temperature and pressure changes, the fluid phase state, viscosity, and density change greatly. Ground flow testing technology cannot be directly applied to downhole stratified flow control. A flow testing tool that can meet the metering needs of supercritical carbon dioxide in a small space downhole is designed, and the accuracy of the flow testing tool in testing downhole supercritical carbon dioxide flow is verified.
[0061] Based on the above ideas, this specification proposes a design method for a downhole supercritical carbon dioxide flow test tool. First, according to the test value of the inner diameter of the flow test tool, different flow rates, the density and dynamic viscosity of the downhole supercritical carbon dioxide, the first Reynolds number corresponding to the different flow rates is calculated. Then, it is determined whether the first Reynolds number is within the standard range of the Reynolds number. If so, the test value is used as the first design value of the inner diameter of the flow test tool. Then, according to the outer diameter and inner diameter of the downhole tool, the inner diameter range of the flow test tool is determined, and the flow test tool is designed in the downhole tool. Then, the target flow rate in different flow rates is fixed, and the second Reynolds number corresponding to each inner diameter is calculated in turn according to the target flow rate, each inner diameter within the inner diameter range of the flow test tool, and the density and dynamic viscosity of the downhole supercritical carbon dioxide. Then, it is determined whether there is at least one second Reynolds number within the standard range of the Reynolds number. If so, the inner diameter corresponding to the second Reynolds number is used as the second design value of the inner diameter of the flow test tool. Finally, according to the first design value and the second design value, the standard inner diameter of the flow test tool is determined, and the flow test tool with a standard inner diameter is used to test the flow of downhole supercritical carbon dioxide.
[0062] The present specification also proposes an evaluation method for a downhole supercritical carbon dioxide flow test tool, which is applied to a flow test tool evaluation system, wherein the flow test tool evaluation system at least includes an oil-water storage module and a flow test tool test module; wherein the oil-water storage module includes in sequence: an oil tank and a water tank, a first comparison mass flowmeter and a first injection pump, wherein the first comparison mass flowmeter is used to test the initial flow of oil and water after the valves corresponding to the oil tank and the water tank are opened, and the first injection pump is used to pump oil and water into the flow test tool test module; the flow test tool test module includes in sequence: a mixing tank, a mixing pump, the above-mentioned flow test tool of standard inner diameter and a second comparison mass flowmeter, wherein the mixing tank is used to mix the pumped oil and water to obtain a mixed test liquid, the mixing pump is used to pump the mixed test liquid into the flow test tool of standard inner diameter, the flow test tool of standard inner diameter is used to test the flow of the mixed test liquid, and the second comparison mass flowmeter is used to test the outlet flow of the mixed test liquid after the flow test tool of standard inner diameter is tested; the method includes: first, obtaining the initial flow and the outlet flow, and comparing the initial flow and the outlet flow. Then, when the comparison is passed, the outlet flow rate is compared with the test result of the flow test tool of the standard inner diameter. Finally, when the comparison is passed again, it is determined that the flow test tool of the standard inner diameter can be used to test the flow rate of the underground supercritical carbon dioxide.
[0063] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so as to describe the embodiments of the present application described herein.
[0064] See also Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of this specification provides a design method for a downhole supercritical carbon dioxide flow test tool. When implemented specifically, the method may include the following contents.
[0065] S101: Calculate the first Reynolds number corresponding to different flow rates according to the test value of the inner diameter of the flow test tool, different flow rates, density and dynamic viscosity of the downhole supercritical carbon dioxide.
[0066] In some embodiments, the flow test tool can be used to test flow, control flow, etc. The test value of the inner diameter of the flow test tool, that is, the test value of the inner diameter of the pipeline, can be set according to actual needs, such as 15mm. The different flow rates can be set according to the on-site working conditions, such as 5m 3 / d, 10m 3 / d, 20m 3 / d, 30m 3 / d, 40m3 / d, 50m 3 / d, which is not specifically limited in this specification. The density and dynamic viscosity of the above-mentioned underground supercritical carbon dioxide can be the density and dynamic viscosity of the supercritical carbon dioxide obtained at the average temperature and average pressure underground, such as: when the pressure is 45MPa and the temperature is 60°C, the density of the obtained supercritical carbon dioxide is 913.29Kg / m3, and the dynamic viscosity of the obtained supercritical carbon dioxide is 9.48×10 -5 Pa.s. Reynolds number (Re) is a dimensionless number in fluid mechanics, used to describe the state of fluid motion. The test values of the inner diameter of the flow test tool, different flow rates, density and dynamic viscosity of downhole supercritical carbon dioxide can be obtained in advance, and then the first Reynolds number corresponding to different flow rates can be calculated based on these data, thereby providing a data basis for the subsequent determination of the standard inner diameter of the flow test tool.
[0067] In some embodiments, the calculation of the first Reynolds number corresponding to different flow rates according to the test value of the inner diameter of the flow test tool, different flow rates, density and dynamic viscosity of downhole supercritical carbon dioxide in S101 may include:
[0068] S11: calculating first flow velocities corresponding to different flow rates according to the test value of the inner diameter of the flow test tool and the different flow rates;
[0069] S12: Calculating first Reynolds numbers corresponding to different flow rates according to the first flow rate, density and dynamic viscosity of downhole supercritical carbon dioxide.
[0070] In some embodiments, the specific process of calculating the first flow rate corresponding to different flow rates in the above S11 is as follows:
[0071] It can be assumed that the on-site working conditions require a flow rate of 5m 3 / d, 10m 3 / d, 20m 3 / d, 30m 3 / d, 40m 3 / d, 50m 3 / d, the test value of the inner diameter of the flow test tool (pipeline inner diameter) is 15mm, then according to the circular area formula: s = πr 2 The cross-sectional area of the pipeline is 0.000176625m 2 Substitute the pipe cross-sectional area and different flow rates into the velocity calculation formula (1):
[0072]
[0073] Where q is the fluid flow rate, m 3 / d; s is the cross-sectional area of the pipe, m2 .
[0074] It can be concluded that:
[0075] 5m 3 The first flow rate corresponding to the flow rate of / d is:
[0076] 10m 3 The first flow rate corresponding to the flow rate of / d is:
[0077] 20m 3 The first flow rate corresponding to the flow rate of / d is:
[0078] 30m 3 The first flow rate corresponding to the flow rate of / d is:
[0079] 40m 3 The first flow rate corresponding to the flow rate of / d is:
[0080] 50m 3 The first flow rate corresponding to the flow rate of / d is:
[0081] The calculation process of the first flow rate above involves unit conversion, converting days into seconds, and accordingly dividing by 24 hours, 60 minutes, and 60 seconds.
[0082] The specific process of calculating the first Reynolds number corresponding to different flow rates in S12 is as follows:
[0083] The density and dynamic viscosity of supercritical carbon dioxide can be obtained at a pressure of 45 MPa and a temperature of 60°C, which are: 913.29 Kg / m 3 ,9.48.10 -5 Pa.s. Substitute the first flow rate, density and dynamic viscosity of supercritical carbon dioxide corresponding to the different flow rates calculated above into the Reynolds number calculation formula (2):
[0084]
[0085] Where Re is the Reynolds number; v is the flow velocity; ρ is the density; μ is the dynamic viscosity; and d is the inner diameter of the pipe.
[0086] It can be concluded that:
[0087] 5m 3 The first Reynolds number corresponding to the flow rate of / d is:
[0088] 10m 3The first Reynolds number corresponding to the flow rate of / d is:
[0089] 20m 3 The first Reynolds number corresponding to the flow rate of / d is:
[0090] 30m 3 The first Reynolds number corresponding to the flow rate of / d is:
[0091] 40m 3 The first Reynolds number corresponding to the flow rate of / d is:
[0092] 50m 3 The first Reynolds number corresponding to the flow rate of / d is:
[0093] Summarizing the above data, we can get Table 1 (Sc-CO2 in Table 1 is supercritical carbon dioxide):
[0094] Table 1 The first Reynolds number corresponding to different flow rates
[0095]
[0096] S102: Determine whether the first Reynolds number is within the Reynolds number standard range, and if so, use the test value as the first design value of the inner diameter of the flow test tool.
[0097] In some embodiments, based on the "Karman vortex" principle, the correlation between the Strouhal number Sr and the Reynolds number Re can be analyzed, and the standard range of the Reynolds number Re corresponding to a fixed value of the Strouhal number Sr can be determined. Then, a flow test tool that can be used to test downhole supercritical carbon dioxide can be designed in combination with the standard range of Reynolds numbers.
[0098] Specifically, the instrument factor K of the flow test tool is affected by the mechanical structure size and the Strouhal number Sr. The Strouhal number Sr is a dimensionless parameter that is related to the shape of the vortex generator and the Reynolds number Re. The Reynolds number Re is affected by the density and viscosity of the fluid. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The relationship between the Strouhal number of the triangular prism vortex generator and the Reynolds number of the pipe is shown in Figure 5×10 3 -7×10 6 To determine the possible range, when the Reynolds number Re≥2×10 4 -7×10 6 Within the range (2×10 4 -7×10 6 The Strouhal number Sr can be regarded as a constant. Under normal or abnormal process conditions, the Reynolds number is higher than 4×104 Better, this is the normal operating range of the instrument. Therefore, the Reynolds number standard range can be set to 4×10 4 -7×10 6 , this range can represent the normal working range of the flow test tool. Within this range, the Strouhal number is basically unchanged, and the Reynolds number is linearly related to the flow rate, and has nothing to do with the properties such as fluid viscosity. The first Reynolds number corresponding to different flow rates and the second Reynolds number corresponding to each inner diameter of the flow test tool in actual application can be calculated, and the first Reynolds number, the second Reynolds number and the standard range of the Reynolds number are compared and analyzed to determine the optimal inner diameter of the flow test tool, that is, to determine the standard inner diameter of the flow test tool. How to determine the standard inner diameter will be explained later, and this manual does not specifically limit this.
[0099] In some embodiments, referring to Table 1 above, it can be seen that the first Reynolds number corresponding to the different flow rates calculated above meets the Reynolds number standard range of 4×10 4 -7×10 6 , that is, within the standard Reynolds number range, therefore, the Reynolds number can be used as an important condition for the design of the flow test tool, and the test value of the inner diameter of the flow test tool, 15mm, can be used as the first design value of the inner diameter of the flow test tool. The first design value can be understood as a theoretical value, and the standard inner diameter of the flow test tool can be determined in combination with the second design value in actual application (or actual working conditions). This can improve the accuracy of the standard inner diameter of the flow test tool, thereby meeting the technical requirements for supercritical carbon dioxide downhole small space flow testing.

[0101] In some embodiments, the downhole tool may be a pressure vessel, and the flow test tool may be designed in the downhole tool. The outer diameter and inner diameter of the downhole tool may be: outer diameter ≤ 114 mm, inner diameter ≥ 40 mm, respectively, and the values are determined according to actual working conditions.
[0102] In some embodiments, the above S103, according to the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the downhole tool, determines the inner diameter range of the flow test tool, when implemented specifically, may include:

[0105] S23: Determine the upper limit of the inner diameter of the flow test tool according to the space margin and the inner wall thickness, and determine the inner diameter range of the flow test tool in combination with a preset step length.
[0106] In some embodiments, the calculation process of the outer wall thickness of the downhole tool and the inner wall thickness of the downhole tool in S21 is as follows:
[0107] Substitute the outer diameter of the downhole tool = 114 mm (D is 114 mm) and the inner diameter of the downhole tool = 40 mm (D is 40 mm) into the pressure vessel wall thickness formula (3) to calculate the outer wall thickness and inner wall thickness of the downhole tool:
[0108]
[0109] Among them, p is pressure (MPa), take p=50; s is wall thickness (mm); r is yield strength (MPa), take 552 (the yield strength of material 13Cr is 552); D is diameter (mm).
[0110] The design results in:
[0111]
[0112] s 内 =s 内1 +0.7=2.5mm
[0113] It should be noted that s 外 is the outer wall thickness of the above-mentioned downhole tool, s 内 is the inner wall thickness of the above-mentioned downhole tool, 0.7 is the safety factor, s 内1 is the inner wall thickness without considering the safety factor.
[0114] The calculation process of the space margin of the flow test tool in the downhole tool in S22 is as follows:
[0115] Combined with the above 外 5.2mm, s 内 The inner diameter of the downhole tool is 2.5 mm, the outer diameter is 114 mm, and the inner diameter is 40 mm. It can be obtained that: the inner diameter of the downhole tool = inner diameter + 2s 内 =40mm+2×2.5mm=45mm, outer diameter of downhole tool = outer diameter - 2s 外 =114mm-2×5.2mm=103.6mm, the space margin of the flow test tool in the downhole tool = (outer diameter-inner diameter) / 2=(103.6mm-45mm) / 2=29.3mm. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 is a two-dimensional schematic diagram of the outer diameter and inner diameter. Figure 3It shows an outer diameter of 114mm, an outer diameter of 103.6mm, an inner diameter of 45mm, an inner diameter of 40mm, and a space margin of 29.3mm. The symbol Φ in the figure can be omitted, and the symbol can represent the diameter of an ordinary circle.
[0116] The specific process of determining the upper limit of the inner diameter of the flow test tool in the above S23 is as follows:
[0117] First, determine the maximum outer diameter of the flow testing tool based on the space margin. Taking into account the processing design requirements, threaded sockets are required and a processing size of 1.8mm must be reserved. Therefore, the maximum outer diameter of the flow testing tool can be: 29.3mm-1.8mm=27.5mm. The maximum outer diameter can be a target outer diameter greater than the preset outer diameter threshold. The preset outer diameter threshold can be set according to actual needs, and this manual does not make specific limitations on this.
[0118] After that, the upper limit of the inner diameter of the flow test tool can be determined according to the maximum outer diameter (target outer diameter) of the flow test tool of 27.5 mm and the inner wall thickness of the downhole tool of 2.5 mm. That is, the upper limit of the inner diameter of the flow test tool = 27.5 mm - 2 × 2.5 mm = 22.5 mm. Since the inner diameter size of the flow test tool is generally an integer, the upper limit of the inner diameter of the flow test tool is d ≤ 22 mm.
[0119] After that, the preset step length can be set in advance (for example, it can be set to 5 test steps, test from the large size downwards, stop if the requirements are met after the test, and continue testing if they are not met). At this time, the inner diameter range of the flow test tool is 17mm-22mm, that is, d=22mm, d=21mm, d=20mm, d=19mm, d=18mm, d=17mm. The second Reynolds number corresponding to the inner diameters of 22mm, 21mm, 20mm, 19mm, 18mm, and 17mm can be calculated later, and the inner diameter design value that meets the actual working conditions can be determined.

[0121] In some embodiments, the target flow rate may be the minimum flow rate of different flow rates, such as: 5m 3 / d. Since the small flow test has high requirements and is difficult, other flow verifications are required only after the small flow can meet the test requirements.
[0122] In some embodiments, the target flow rate among the fixed different flow rates in S104 is calculated according to the target flow rate, each inner diameter within the inner diameter range of the flow test tool, and the density and dynamic viscosity of the downhole supercritical carbon dioxide, and the second Reynolds number corresponding to each inner diameter is calculated. In specific implementation, it may include:
[0123] S31: fixing a target flow rate among different flow rates, and calculating a second flow rate corresponding to each inner diameter according to the target flow rate and each inner diameter within the inner diameter range of the flow test tool;
[0124] S32: Calculate the second Reynolds number corresponding to each inner diameter according to the second flow rate, the density and dynamic viscosity of the downhole supercritical carbon dioxide.
[0125] In some embodiments, the specific process of calculating the second flow rate corresponding to each inner diameter in the above S31 is as follows:
[0126] Target flow rate is 5m 3 / d, the inner diameters within the inner diameter range are 22mm, 21mm, 20mm, 19mm, 18mm, and 17mm. The corresponding cross-sectional area can be calculated based on the inner diameters using the circular area formula. Then, the calculated corresponding cross-sectional area and target flow rate are substituted into the flow rate calculation formula (1) to calculate the second flow rate corresponding to each inner diameter as follows:
[0127] When d = 22mm, 5m 3 / d flow rate, the corresponding second flow rate is:
[0128] When d = 21mm, 5m 3 / d flow rate, the corresponding second flow rate is:
[0129] When d = 20 mm, 5 m 3 / d flow rate, the corresponding second flow rate is:
[0130] When d = 19 mm, 5 m 3 / d flow rate, the corresponding second flow rate is:
[0131] When d = 18 mm, 5 m 3 / d flow rate, the corresponding second flow rate is:
[0132] When d = 17 mm, 5 m 3 / d flow rate, the corresponding second flow rate is:
[0133] The specific process of calculating the second Reynolds number corresponding to each inner diameter in the above S32 is as follows:
[0134] Substituting the second flow rate corresponding to each inner diameter, the density and dynamic viscosity of supercritical carbon dioxide calculated above into the above Reynolds number calculation formula (2), the second Reynolds number corresponding to each inner diameter is calculated as follows:
[0135] When d = 22 mm, the corresponding second Reynolds number is:
[0136] When d = 21 mm, the corresponding second Reynolds number is:
[0137] When d = 20 mm, the corresponding second Reynolds number is:
[0138] When d = 19 mm, the corresponding second Reynolds number is:
[0139] When d = 18 mm, the corresponding second Reynolds number is:
[0140] When d = 17 mm, the corresponding second Reynolds number is:
[0141] Summarizing the above data, we can get Table 2:
[0142] Table 2 The second Reynolds number corresponding to each inner diameter
[0143]
[0144] S105: Determine whether there is at least one second Reynolds number within the Reynolds number standard range, and if so, use the inner diameter corresponding to the second Reynolds number as the second design value of the inner diameter of the flow test tool.
[0145] In some embodiments, it can be seen from Table 2 above that when d=17 mm, the corresponding second Reynolds number is 41762, which is 4×10 4 -7×10 6 When d>17mm, the corresponding second Reynolds number is not within the Reynolds number standard range. Therefore, 17mm can be used as the upper limit of the inner diameter of the flow test tool. That is, when there is at least one second Reynolds number within the Reynolds number standard range, the inner diameter corresponding to the second Reynolds number can be used as the second design value of the inner diameter of the flow test tool. The second design value can be understood as the inner diameter design value combined with the actual working conditions, which is more in line with the working condition requirements than the first design value.
[0146] S106: Determine a standard inner diameter of a flow testing tool according to the first design value and the second design value. The flow testing tool with the standard inner diameter is used to test the flow of supercritical carbon dioxide underground.
[0147] In some embodiments, determining the standard inner diameter of the flow test tool according to the first design value and the second design value in S106 may include:
[0148] The Reynolds numbers corresponding to the first design value and the second design value are compared, and a design value whose Reynolds number is greater than a preset threshold is selected from the first design value and the second design value as the standard inner diameter of the flow test tool.
[0149] In some embodiments, the first design value can be 15 mm, and the upper limit of the second design value can be 17 mm. Referring to Table 1 and Table 2, the Sc-CO2 Reynolds number corresponding to the second design value is 41762, and the Sc-CO2 Reynolds number corresponding to the first design value is greater than 41762. The design value with a Reynolds number greater than the preset threshold can be selected, that is, the design value with a larger Reynolds number corresponding to the first design value and the second design value can be selected as the standard inner diameter of the flow test tool, such as selecting the first design value 15 mm as the standard inner diameter of the flow test tool. In addition, the upper limit of the inner diameter of the flow test tool is 17 mm. Considering the convenience of processing and the existing industry size, the standard inner diameter can be set to 15 mm, and the Reynolds number Re should be between 4×10 4 -7×10 6 Within the standard range, the larger the outer diameter, the higher the reliability in processing and on-site application.
[0150] Based on the above embodiments, a flow test tool with a standard inner diameter can be designed, which can be used to test the flow of supercritical carbon dioxide underground. The flow test tool with a standard inner diameter is a tool that meets the requirements of miniaturized design and variable density fluid flow test, and meets the technical requirements of supercritical carbon dioxide underground small space flow test.
[0151] The following is a verification or evaluation of the accuracy of the standard inner diameter flow test tool in testing the downhole supercritical carbon dioxide flow rate. The flow test tool evaluation method used in the flow test tool evaluation system can be used for verification or evaluation. Figure 4 As shown, the flow test tool evaluation system may at least include an oil-water storage module and a flow test tool testing module.
[0152] The oil-water storage module may include: an oil tank 1 and a water tank 2, a first comparative mass flow meter 3 and a first injection pump 4.

[0159] In some embodiments, a two-phase fluid indoor evaluation method can be designed based on equivalent density to verify the accuracy of the standard inner diameter flow test tool in testing the downhole supercritical carbon dioxide flow rate. 3 ) and industrial white oil (density 830kg / m 3) is designed as a variable density two-phase fluid mixed test fluid to simulate the density change of supercritical carbon dioxide underground. Since the density and viscosity of supercritical carbon dioxide change with temperature and pressure, by mixing industrial white oil and water in different proportions and changing different densities, the density and viscosity changes of supercritical carbon dioxide underground can be simulated. Based on this, it is verified that the flow test tool is not affected by the density and viscosity of the medium during measurement, and the flow test tool is a non-contact measurement, thereby improving the feasibility of flow measurement.

Open the valves corresponding to the oil tank 1 and the water tank 2, start the first comparative mass flow meter 3 and the injection pump 4, and input the white oil and water into the mixing tank 5 through the injection pump 4 to mix and obtain the mixed test liquid;
[0163] Step 2: Flow comparison. Open the front valve of the mixed pump 6, and start the mixed pump 6, then start the flow test tool 8 and the second comparison mass flow meter 9, record the data in the pressure gauge 7, the flow test tool 8, and the second comparison mass flow meter 9, and first compare the data tested by the first comparison mass flow meter 3 (such as: inlet flow or initial flow) and the data tested by the second comparison mass flow meter 9 (such as: outlet flow). If the comparison result is consistent, the comparison is passed, indicating that the system is in a stable state. Afterwards, the data tested by the flow test tool 8 and the data tested by the second comparison mass flow meter 9 can be compared. If the comparison result is consistent, the comparison is passed, indicating that the flow test tool 8 has a high accuracy in testing the simulated downhole supercritical carbon dioxide flow rate, and it can be used to test the flow rate of downhole supercritical carbon dioxide.
[0164] Step 3: Test liquid recovery. The two valves downstream of the oil-water separator 10 are opened to allow the bottom water to flow into the water storage tank 12, the upper white oil is collected into the oil storage tank 11, and the separated liquid is pumped into the oil tank 1 and the water tank 2 through the second injection pump 13 for subsequent testing.
