[0069] Step S2: Calculate the power N of the moving screw shaft C :

[0070]

[0071] Where: N is the initial value of power;

[0079] The spiral blade 409 has a positive spiral direction, a number of heads, and an extended shape of a three-dimensional spiral line. Its characteristic equation is expressed as follows:

[0080] X(t) = rcos(t);

[0081] Y(t) = rsin(t);

[0082] Z(t)=Pt / 2π. (5)

[0083] Wherein: t is the parameter value, the starting value of the helix is ​​t=0, and the ending value is t=12π; r is the radius of the helix; P is the lead of the helix; X(t), Y(t) and Z(t) are respectively expressed as the expressions of the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis in the three-dimensional coordinate system.

[0084] For the vertical screw conveying pump used for the casing with a diameter of Φ1=115mm, r=16mm, P=55mm are preferred; the spiral blade thickness σ=1.5mm is preferred, and the outer diameter of the spiral blade 409 is D=2.5d=60mm; the front and back surfaces of the spiral blade 409 are coated with Teflon coating to prevent surface scaling from affecting the conveying performance; in order to broaden the stable displacement operating range of the vertical screw conveying pump 4 and improve the pumping efficiency, the spiral rise angle ψ is in the range of 15° to 20°.

[0091] An operation control method for a spiral multiphase flow device for shale oil wells is provided. The method is divided into an operation control method in the initial stage of production and an operation control method in the middle and late stages of production. Generally speaking, the goal in the initial stage of production is to keep the dynamic liquid level of the spiral multiphase flow device in the optimal fluctuation range; in the middle and late stages of production, the frequency parameter adjustment and the nozzle parameter adjustment are combined to achieve the optimal operation efficiency of the spiral multiphase flow device. Specifically, the following steps are included:

[0092] Step R1: Obtain the daily liquid production Q of the shale oil downhole pump 自 , Q 自 1.5 times of the daily discharge volume Q of the screw conveying multiphase flow device at the initial stage of production 实 .

[0093] Step R2: Obtain the hydraulic characteristic curve of the spiral conveying multiphase flow device and determine the daily liquid production Q 实 The corresponding operating frequency f. Usually, the device is started at a low frequency of 35Hz, and the step length is adjusted in 1-2Hz, and the adjustment frequency is 1 time / 2min, gradually increasing to the initial target frequency f.

[0097] Where: 页 is the density of shale oil; 水 is the density of water; ω is the water content of the well fluid.

[0098] Step R3.2: Collect the casing pressure collection unit reading P 套 , Multi-parameter sensor collects the suction port pressure P 吸 and the depth H1 at the pump suction port, calculate the dynamic liquid level H i ;

[0099] H i =H1-(P 吸 -P 套 )×g / ρ 混 (7)

[0100] Where: H1 is the depth of the pump suction port; P 吸 is the suction pressure; P 套 is the indication of the casing pressure collection unit; ρ 混 is the density of shale oil well fluid; g is the acceleration due to gravity.

[0101] Step R4: preset the optimal dynamic liquid level range H according to the well conditions min ~H max , generally 300m-500m; adjust the operating frequency f of the spiral conveying multiphase flow device so that H min ≤H i ≤H max ,at this time,

[0102] If H i >H max , then the frequency conversion control system is used to reduce the operating frequency f, with Δf as the frequency adjustment step, Δf is usually 2Hz, and it runs for 1h every time it is reduced by 2Hz; after the dynamic liquid level is stable, calculate the depth H at the pump suction port i , wait for H min ≤H i ≤H max When , determine the target frequency f1, and run at the target frequency f1;

[0103] If H i <H min , the frequency conversion control system is used to increase the operating frequency f, with Δf as the frequency adjustment step, Δf is also 2Hz, and the operation is performed for 1h every time the 2Hz increase is made; after the dynamic liquid level is stable, the depth H at the pump suction port is calculated i , wait for H min ≤H i ≤H max When the target frequency f2 is determined, the liquid level range H is moved at the target frequency f min ~Hmax2 run.

[0104] Step R5, dynamic liquid level H i Keep in range H min ~H max After that, take n days as a statistical period, adjust the step frequency once, and repeat steps R3 and R4.

[0105] The initial production capacity of shale oil wells is large, the dynamic liquid level is high, and the oil content is low. The above steps are the operation control mode established in the early stage of the screw conveying multiphase flow device to achieve rapid reduction of water content and early oil and gas. The flowchart of the operation control process in the early stage of production is as follows: Figure 6 shown.

[0110] Where: H1 is the depth of the pump suction port; P 吸 is the suction pressure; P 套 is the indication of the casing pressure collection unit; ρ 混 is the density of shale oil well fluid; g is the acceleration of gravity;

[0111] Step R6.2: Select n days as a statistical period and calculate the bottom hole pressure drop rate P d ,

[0112] P d =(P n -P1) / n, (9)

[0113] Where P n is the bottom flow pressure of the nth well; P1 is the bottom flow pressure of the 1st well.

[0114] Step R7: According to the reservoir capacity prediction, set the optimal threshold value P of the bottom hole flow pressure drop rate max , and adjust the nozzle diameter D 油嘴 and the operating frequency f of the submersible motor, so that 0.8P max ≤P d ≤1.2P max .

[0115] If P d >5P max At this time, the pressure drop is fast, which is easy to produce intermittent flow. In this case, the nozzle diameter D is reduced. 油嘴 To adjust the pump displacement, set the nozzle adjustment step ΔD 油嘴 , decreases by 1mm every 2h, and dynamically calculates the flow pressure drop rate P in real time d , up to 0.8P max ≤P d ≤1.2P max .

[0116] If 1.2P max ≤P d ≤5P max The pump displacement is adjusted by lowering the operating frequency f, with Δf as the frequency adjustment step, Δf is 2Hz, and the pump is operated for 1h every time the operating frequency is reduced by 2Hz, and the flow pressure drop rate P is calculated dynamically in real time. d , up to 0.8P max ≤P d ≤1.2P max .

[0117] If P d <0.8P max , the pressure drop is slow, the daily liquid production is low, and the production capacity is affected. The pump displacement is adjusted by increasing the operating frequency f, with Δf as the frequency adjustment step, Δf is also 2Hz, and the operation is increased by 2Hz for 1h, and the flow pressure drop rate P is calculated in real time. d , up to 0.8P max ≤P d ≤1.2P max .
