Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of pumping unit well production, and particularly relates to a pumping unit well intermittent liquid production indicator diagram discrimination method. BACKGROUND

[0002] For low-permeability, low-yield and low-pressure "three-low" oilfields, with the year-by-year decrease of oil well yield, the contradiction between formation liquid supply capacity and pumping unit well production parameters is increasingly prominent, and intermittent liquid wells begin to appear in large numbers. If this part of wells continues to be exploited all day long, energy will be wasted, and the service life of the downhole pumping unit will also be affected. Therefore, the oilfield usually adopts intermittent pumping for production. With the promotion of oilfield intelligentization and Internet of Things construction, as one of the most practical and potential technical means for oilfield yield control and reduction investment, oil well intermittent pumping also faces the transformation from manual to intelligentization, and one of the important bases for determining the intermittent pumping system of pumping unit wells is to understand the intermittent liquid production law of the oil well, which requires timely acquisition and analysis of the liquid production state of the oil well. However, with the gradual increase in the number of intermittent pumping oil wells in the oilfield, the workload of manual statistical analysis to determine the liquid production state of the oil well becomes huge and inefficient, which cannot meet the development needs of oilfield intelligent intermittent pumping.

[0003] After consulting relevant patents, there are two methods to obtain the liquid production of the oil well: one is to use a mechanical device to obtain the liquid production, and the patent "Intermittent oil well liquid production indication and check valve" (CN201120382347.9) is involved. The patent uses the turning of the wellhead mechanical device to determine the wellhead liquid production state. This method is relatively direct, but the cost is high, the failure rate is high, and it cannot meet the needs of the digital development of the oilfield. The other method mainly uses the analysis of the oil well indicator diagram to determine the intermittent liquid production of the oil well. This method is currently mainly used for oil well working condition diagnosis and yield calculation, but there is still a lack of effective application for intermittent liquid production judgment of the oil well, and there is still room for further exploration and utilization.

[0054] Example 1:

[0055] likeFigures 1-5 As shown in the figure, a pumping unit well intermittent fluid indicator diagram distinguishing method comprises the following steps:

[0056] 1) Collect the ground indicator diagram of the pumping unit in the target time period;

[0057] The ground indicator diagram is the relationship curve of the pumping unit suspension point load and its displacement, which is obtained by synchronously collecting the displacement sensor and the load sensor of the pumping unit well RTU. A ground indicator diagram contains 200 data points inside, and each data point contains load displacement information. As shown in the figure, the horizontal coordinate of the ground indicator diagram is the displacement value, and the vertical coordinate is the load value. Figure 2

[0058] The load line DM_FMU on the ground indicator diagram: from the fixed valve opening point to the fixed valve closing point, all the data points in the middle correspond to the average load, also known as the maximum average load of the ground indicator diagram.

[0059] The load line DM_FMD on the ground indicator diagram: from the traveling valve opening point to the traveling valve closing point, all the data points in the middle correspond to the average load, also known as the minimum average load of the ground indicator diagram.

[0060] The load difference DM_FL of the ground indicator diagram: the difference between the maximum average load of the ground indicator diagram and the minimum average load of the ground indicator diagram.

[0061] 2) Convert all the ground indicator diagrams collected in step 1) into pump indicator diagrams;

[0062] The relationship curve of the load and its displacement at the connection between the pumping rod and the pump plunger is obtained by converting the ground indicator diagram into the pump indicator diagram. The conversion method of the ground indicator diagram into the pump indicator diagram is the prior art, and its specific conversion method is not introduced in detail here.

[0063] 3) According to the four geometric feature points obtained from each pump indicator diagram, the load line B_FMU on the pump indicator diagram and the load line B_FMD on the pump indicator diagram are solved in each pump indicator diagram; the four geometric feature points are the leftmost point P L , the rightmost point P R , the uppermost point P U , and the lowermost point P D of the pump indicator diagram; (see Figure 3 )

[0064] 4) Determine the opening and closing points of the four valves in each pump indicator diagram; the opening and closing points of the four valves are the fixed valve opening point P SO , the fixed valve closing point P SC , the traveling valve opening point P TO , and the traveling valve closing point P TC ;

[0065] ​Standard error refers to the standard deviation of sample mean in repeated equal-precision measurement, reflecting the variation degree of sample mean to population mean. When sample changes, sample mean also changes, and the variation degree of sample mean to population mean also changes. By using the property of standard error method, the points most likely to be opened and closed by the traveling valve and the fixed valve in the pump diagram can be calculated.

[0066] 5) Determine the opening and closing points of the four valves in each ground dynamometer diagram according to the opening and closing points of the four valves in each pump diagram;

[0067] 6) Calculate the standard deviation of the maximum load average DM_FMU and the minimum load average DM_FMD of each ground dynamometer diagram;

[0068] 7) Determine whether each ground dynamometer diagram is liquid output according to the standard deviation of the maximum load average and the minimum load average of each ground dynamometer diagram;

[0069] 8) Determine the liquid output period and non-liquid output period in the target time period according to whether each ground dynamometer diagram is liquid output.

[0070] The intermittent liquid output dynamometer diagram discrimination method for pumping unit wells provided by the application mainly uses the real-time collected ground dynamometer diagram, realizes the continuous automatic discrimination of the intermittent liquid output of pumping unit wells through the above-mentioned eight steps, effectively improves the intelligent level among oil wells, meets the development needs of oil field intelligent pumping, and has a judgment accuracy of more than 95%, reduces the workload, is high in efficiency, low in cost, and can be effectively applied to actual production.

[0071] Preferably, the load line B_FMU and the pump diagram load line B_FMD in the step 3) are solved by an iterative method, B_BAND=(F D -F U ) / 8, B_BAND is a threshold value; the calculation method of the pump diagram load line B_FMU is: walking an upstroke, starting from P L point and iteratively calculating to P R point, the iteration condition is |F(i)-F U |<B_BAND; the calculation method of the pump diagram load line B_FMU is: walking an upstroke, starting from P R point and iteratively calculating to P L point, the iteration condition is |F(i)-F D |<B_BAND.

[0072] According to the actual operation on site, B_BAND=(F D -F U ) / 8, which is the best practicability and applicability, and has high calculation precision.

[0073] Preferably, the calculation formula of the load line B_FMU on the pump performance map is:

[0074]

[0075] wherein F i is the sample load value at i point, U i is the sample position value at i point.

[0076] Preferably, the calculation formula of the load line B_FMD on the pump performance map is:

[0077]

[0078] Preferably, the method for determining the opening point of each valve in the pump performance map in step 4) is the same and is the method of solving the standard deviation of the average load change by stationary point.

[0079] Preferably, the method for determining the opening point P SO of the fixed valve in each pump performance map by the method of solving the standard deviation of the average load change by stationary point comprises the following steps (see Figure 4 ):

[0080] 4.1) Dividing the F1 region, the F2 region, the F3 region and the F4 region in the pump performance map, wherein the opening point P SO of the fixed valve is in the F1 region, the closing point P SC of the fixed valve is in the F2 region, the opening point P TO of the traveling valve is in the F3 region, and the closing point P TC of the traveling valve is in the F4 region;

[0081] Taking the opening point P SO of the fixed valve as an example, from the point P1 to the opening point P SO of the fixed valve, the sucker rod is in a loading state, so the load change between the sample points in the region from the point P1 to the opening point P SO of the fixed valve in the pump performance map is large; similarly, from the opening point of the fixed valve to the point K, the load change is small. Herein, the load change between adjacent points in the region is set as a single sample point, and the average load change between all adjacent points in the region is set as the overall sample average load change. Therefore, the standard deviation of the average load change can be solved by stationary point to find the opening point P SO of the fixed valve.

[0082] 4.2) In the F1 region, between the point P1 and the point K, assuming that a point is the opening point P SO of the fixed valve, then from P1 to P SO , the standard deviation of the load change is shown in formula (3)

[0083]

[0084] F1, F2, …, F n : P1 to P SO All load change sample data;

[0085] P1 to PSO All load change average;

[0086] n: the number of load changes between sample points;

[0087] From P SO to K points, the load change standard deviation is formula (4)

[0088]

[0089] F1, F2, …, F n+1 , …, F n+2 , …, F n+m : P SO to K All load change sample data;

[0090] P SO to K All load change average;

[0091] m: the number of load changes between sample points;

[0092] The standard error of the above two sample load changes between adjacent points to the overall average load change is formula (5)

[0093] Z(P SO ) = σ1+σ2 (5)

[0094] When Z = min{Z(P SO )}, P SO is the fixed valve opening point;

[0095] 4.3) Use the method of step 4.2), that is, the fixed valve closing point P SC , the movable valve opening point P TO and the movable valve closing point P TC are obtained.

[0096] Through the above method, the remaining three points (the fixed valve closing point P SC , the movable valve opening point P TO and the movable valve closing point P TC ) can be accurately determined. After determining the four valve switching points of the pump indicator diagram, the four valve switching points of the ground indicator diagram can be deduced.

[0097] Generally, the intermittent production law of oil well is difficult to grasp, the interval period of oil well production changes constantly, but the overall presents the following phenomena: the maximum load has no obvious change, the minimum load is obviously smaller when producing, and obviously larger when not producing, and the overall presents a sawtooth change trend.

[0098] In the actual judgment process, the ground dynamometer card collected in 1 day is taken as a sample, and the system generally collects a ground dynamometer card data every 10 minutes according to the requirements, that is, there are at most 144 ground dynamometer card data in a day. First, the four valve switching points of each ground dynamometer card are determined according to the above method, the ground dynamometer card maximum load average DM_FMU and the ground dynamometer card minimum load average DM_FMD can be obtained, and then the standard deviations of the maximum load average and the minimum load average of all samples are calculated, and the intermittent production well is identified according to the specific threshold value, and the specific algorithm process is as follows:
