Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of downhole acoustic positioning, and in particular relates to a high-precision time-synchronized multi-parameter downhole acoustic positioning system and method. Background Art
[0002] Downhole acoustic positioning technology is a technology that uses sound waves to determine the location of target objects or equipment in closed environments such as oil and gas wells and underground pipelines. Compared with electromagnetic wave positioning, sound waves are not easily affected by electromagnetic interference, and have better propagation effects and less attenuation in liquid media, thus providing more stable and accurate positioning signals in environments such as oil and gas wells and underground pipelines. This makes acoustic positioning technology widely used in complex downhole environments, which is of great significance to ensuring production safety and improving work efficiency.
[0003] In practical applications, due to the complexity of the underground environment, positioning accuracy is often affected by environmental noise and reflection. High-precision time synchronization technology can ensure time synchronization between each measurement point, greatly reducing positioning errors caused by time deviation. In addition, the use of multi-parameter acoustic positioning technology can more effectively cope with environmental changes and complex conditions, and effectively reduce the impact of environmental noise, reflection and multipath effects on positioning. This technology has significant advantages, especially in special places such as oil and gas wells, underground pipelines and narrow spaces. By combining multi-parameter acoustic positioning with high-precision time synchronization technology, downhole acoustic positioning can be more accurate and stable in complex environments, thereby improving work efficiency and effectively reducing risks.

Step 4: Liquid density ρ of the nth section in the oil and gas well (14) n The corresponding temperature T n and pressure P n The relational expression is: ρ n (T,P)=ρ0(1-β(T n -T0)+ρP n )n=1,2,3...t·f s Where ρ0 is the density of light crude oil under standard conditions, which is 0.82 g / cm 3 , β is the thermal expansion coefficient of light crude oil, which is 0.00091 / ℃, the reference temperature T0 is 15℃, δ=1.5×10 -5 Pa -1 is the pressure coefficient of light crude oil; The bulk modulus K of the nth section in the oil and gas well (14) n The corresponding temperature T n and pressure P n The relational expression is: Where, K0 = 1500 MPa is the bulk modulus of light crude oil at standard temperature and pressure, γ = 0.00071 / °C is the temperature coefficient of light crude oil; The sound velocity c of the nth section in the oil and gas well (14) n (T,P) and density ρ n (T,P) and bulk modulus K n The relational expression of (T, P) is: Get c n (T,P) and each time dt = t n -t n-1 (n=1,2,3...t·f s and t0=0), multiplied and then summed, that is, the relationship between the position information of the reciprocal transducer (5) and the speed and time of each segment is expressed as: Finally, the position information s of the reciprocal transducer (5) is obtained, and the position s of the reciprocal transducer (5) demodulated by the receiving transducer (10) and the temperature of the well are displayed through the main control display (13). and pressure As well as time t visualization, the positioning information of the reciprocal transducer (5) downhole is highlighted.
