Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of foam fluid research, and in particular relates to a test device and an evaluation method for the stability and rheological properties of pipeline foam fluid. Background Art

[0002] Foam fluids have been widely used in oil and gas field development due to their special properties. For oil and gas field development, the technology of oil and gas recovery in the form of foam fracturing, foam flooding, foam drainage, etc. has become increasingly mature, but the foam generated by the gas-liquid phase is in an unstable state. Therefore, for the development of oil and gas fields, controlling the stability of bubbles and analyzing the collapse process of bubbles under complex working conditions are the main research directions of current foam technology. Since the stability of foam is related to rheology, a comprehensive analysis of the two is required.

[0003] The collapse of foam is mainly affected by three processes, including foam drainage, bubble coarsening and liquid film rupture. In these three processes: foam drainage determines the liquid content of the foam, which is a key parameter for bubble coarsening and merging, and is a dominant mechanism for the stability of the foam system, directly affecting the stability of the foam; coarsening and foam drainage are strongly coupled, and the coarsening process does not directly affect the foam life, but foam drainage strongly depends on the bubble size controlled by coarsening, so coarsening can control the foam life through the influence of foam drainage.

[0004] Among them, temperature, pressure, foam quality, foam texture, foaming agent properties, gas and liquid properties, bubble network interaction, and the type and concentration of surfactants used are important parameters that affect foam stability and rheology. These parameters affect the stability and rheology of foam by affecting the three processes of foam collapse. Since the three processes of foam drainage, bubble coarsening, and liquid film rupture are not independent, these important parameters will also be coupled, making it difficult to analyze the stability and rheology of foam.

[0005] The foam performance test method and test device disclosed in Chinese Patent No. 201010620889.5 are to test the anti-foaming and defoaming properties of a water-based processing fluid in a vertical transparent test tube. The test environment is quite different from the foam pipe flow state, so it is not suitable for the performance test of the foam in the pipeline; Chinese Patent No. 201510887385.2 discloses an online detection method for the performance of oil displacement foam, which uses a core foam flooding experiment, which is similar to its oil displacement environment, and can obtain the performance of the oil displacement foam, but this method is not suitable for the test of the foam flow performance under pipe flow conditions; Chinese Patent No. 201810871221 .4 discloses a high-temperature and high-pressure foam rheology test system and experimental method, which uses a high-temperature and high-pressure rheology measurement unit to test the rheology of foam, and obtains the rheological properties of foam under different pressure and temperature conditions. However, due to the lack of environmental conditions for pipe flow, its test results cannot be applied to multiphase flow containing foam; Chinese patent 201911067678.0 discloses an experimental device and method for testing foam fluid performance and defoaming separation effect, which uses a loop experimental device for gas-liquid two-phase flow, but the main body of its foam performance test module is an analysis tank. The test of foam performance in this environment is not carried out in the actual pipe flow process, so its test results may be different from the foam fluid performance in the actual flow. In summary, the existing foam performance test device and method are not suitable for foam performance testing under pipe flow conditions. Existing studies have studied foam stability and rheology separately, evaluated stability and rheology in isolation, and did not associate foam stability with rheology. In addition, the existing rheological model does not consider the situation of foam instability in foam pipe flow applications, and lacks the association between rheology and stability. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop an experimental test device and evaluation method for the stability and rheological properties of pipeline foam fluid. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the first purpose of the present invention is to provide an experimental test device for pipeline foam fluid stability and rheology.

[0007] The second object of the present invention is to provide a method for evaluating the stability and rheological properties of pipeline foam fluid.

[0008] The first object of the present invention is achieved by comprising a foam generating system and a visual rheology system; The foam generating system comprises a compressed gas storage tank, a foaming agent storage tank, a flow sensor, a one-way valve, a centrifugal pump, and a foam generating tube.

The rheological test tube is covered with an insulation layer for heat preservation. The outlet end of the foam generating tube is connected to the inlet end of the rheological test tube, and the outlet end of the rheological test tube is connected to the waste liquid tank through a drain pipe. The waste liquid tank is used to collect waste liquid discharged from the rheological test tube. A temperature sensor is arranged in the inlet end of the rheological test tube, and pressure sensors are arranged in the inlet and outlet ends of the rheological test tube respectively. Along the length direction of the rheological test tube, several rows of conductive probes are arranged at equal intervals in the rheological test tube. Each row of conductive probes is distributed along the circumference of the rheological test tube. The spacing between adjacent conductive probes in the same row is equal, and the conductive probes in different rows adjacent to each other are staggered. The high-speed camera faces the rheological test tube. The flow sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, high-speed camera, and conductive probe are respectively connected to the monitoring center, which is used to receive and display data from the flow sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, high-speed camera, and conductive probe. The connection relationship between the monitoring center and each component is a well-known technology in the art.

[0009] The foaming agent may be cocamidopropyl betaine (CAB-35); the gas phase pipeline, the foaming agent pipeline and the one-way main pipeline may be connected together by a tee piece well known to those skilled in the art.

[0010] The conductive probe uses a commercially available conductive probe and is connected to a data monitoring center to record changes in the conductivity of the foam fluid during the flow process. Through a ring-shaped staggered arrangement, the conductivity and changes of the foam fluid can be fully measured.

[0011] Preferably, the foaming agent storage tank is a constant temperature storage tank. Specifically, the constant temperature storage tank has a temperature adjustment function to meet different test requirements. The foam generating tube and the rheological test tube are both made of organic glass.

[0012] Preferably, a porous metal plate is provided in the inlet end of the rheological test tube, and the porous metal plate is used to produce fine, dense and uniform foam to eliminate the influence of differences in stability caused by inconsistent bubble sizes.

The conductivity of the foam fluid is obtained through a conductive probe. Since the foam gas phase is not conductive and different manifolds have different conductivity characteristics, the foam liquid holding capacity is inverted through the change in conductivity, and the foam stability is evaluated by the foam quantity, size, and liquid holding capacity; specifically, the foam stability is mainly determined by the strength of the foam liquid film. Small and dense foams have stronger liquid films and better stability. Since the liquid film will drain, the foam will inevitably grow and merge, and the foam stability will deteriorate; the change in stability can be obtained through the changes in the foam quantity, size, and liquid holding capacity; S3.

[0019] Example 3 (1) Prepare a bubbler solution with a concentration of 0.6 wt%, using cocopropylamide betaine (CAB-35) as the bubbler, and place it in a constant temperature water tank and heat it to 30 °C; (2) Turn on the air pump for a while, so that the target gas phase fills the entire device, and then turn off the air pump (if the gas phase is air, skip this step); (3) Turn on the centrifugal pump and set the gas phase flow rate Q1 to 2 ~10 , the foaming agent flow rate Q2 is 0.1 ~0.5 , D1=D2=50mm, and U=0.0141 s~0.0707 s, =2.256~11.312( ); (4) Records and through , , we can conclude and through , draw Curve, get the viscosity index , rheological index and shear rate Apparent viscosity The relationship between the conductivity and the foam is used to obtain the rheological properties of the foam fluid (shear thinning or shear thickening). At the same time, the conductivity change is monitored by a conductive probe, and the foam morphology is photographed by a high-speed camera. (5) From the data, we know that at a concentration of 0.6wt% and a temperature of 30°C, the fixed gas phase flow rate is 2 , and gradually increase the flow rate of the foaming agent by 0.1 ~0.5 , the foam fluid exhibits shear thinning characteristics; that is, as the shear rate increases, the fluid viscosity decreases; when the gas-liquid ratio is high, the foam fluid flow state will change to slug flow; As the pipe flow progresses, the conductivity of the foam fluid gradually increases (the rightmost electrode is No. 1). During the flow process, the foam becomes unstable to a certain extent, and as the flow rate of the foaming agent increases, the foam stability becomes worse; the decrease in viscosity causes the liquid film to drain faster and become more unstable; through the ratio of the conductivity of electrodes No. 1 and No. 8 to the conductivity of the foaming agent, it can be obtained that the foam fluid holdup changes from 92.2% to 84.5%; From the change in conductivity, it can be seen that the foam discharge is not uniform. The conductivity changes greatly in the section from electrode 4 to electrode 2, indicating that more liquid is discharged. At this time, the foam viscosity becomes smaller, the friction resistance becomes smaller, and the section from electrode 4 to electrode 1 has a larger pipeline pressure drop.
