Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of oil and gas field exploitation, and in particular to a large-flow gas-oil-water continuous separation device and a quantitative metering method. Background Art
[0002] In the process of oil and gas field exploitation, fluid displacement technology has been widely used because it can effectively improve the recovery rate of oil and gas. It is to inject fluids (such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water, etc.) to displace the crude oil / gas in the oil / gas reservoir to increase oil and gas production. With the in-depth application of fluid displacement technology, the study of the flow characteristics of the three-phase fluid of oil, gas and water in the fluid displacement process has become increasingly important.
[0003] Traditional fluid displacement physical simulation separation devices mainly focus on the separation of gas phase and liquid phase, and have certain limitations in the separation and measurement of gas-oil-water. Specifically, these devices usually use weighing method or differential pressure gauge to realize the cumulative measurement of liquid phase fluid, and use flow meter to realize the flow rate measurement of gas phase, but this method is difficult to distinguish between water phase and oil phase, and can only measure gas phase and liquid phase; In addition, traditional separation devices and schemes can only meet the displacement test requirements of small-sized samples, and their limited space limitations become particularly obvious when facing large-sized samples: when the cumulative liquid production exceeds the volume of the separation device, the cumulative production of the liquid phase cannot be accurately measured, which affects the continuous monitoring of gas and liquid during the displacement process. At the same time, the existing physical simulation devices for displacement are mainly used for the displacement of small-sized samples. The cumulative liquid production during the displacement process is limited, but as the sample size increases, the cumulative liquid production will also increase accordingly, which requires the separation device to have a larger effective volume to meet the test requirements; However, unlimited increase in the volume of the separation device will not only increase the cost of the equipment, but also affect the accuracy of liquid phase measurement. Summary of the invention

[0057] Step 3: Pass the gas-oil-water mixed fluid to be tested into the glass tube 110 through the third interface 134, the third through hole 132 and the flow guide tube 340, so that the gas phase is discharged from the first through hole 121 and the first interface 122 at the top of the glass tube 110, use the flow meter 330 to monitor the flow rate and cumulative flow of the gas phase, and monitor the height change data of the water liquid level and the oil liquid level in the glass tube 110 at the same time, and control the unidirectional motion cumulative displacement of the pistons of the water pumping plunger double pump 310 and the oil pumping plunger double pump 320 based on the monitored height change data to keep the height of the water liquid level and the oil liquid level constant;
[0058] The cumulative displacement of the unidirectional movement of the piston of the water-pumping plunger dual pump 310 is adjusted according to the following formula:
[0059]

[0071] The large-flow gas-oil-water continuous separation device and quantitative metering method provided in the embodiment of the present application are provided with a glass tube 110 with closed ends in the gas-oil-water separation system 100 to contain a three-phase fluid of gas, oil and water, and use a water-pumping plunger double pump 310, an oil-pumping plunger double pump 320, and a flowmeter 330 of a dynamic control and measurement system 300 to respectively perform extraction and separation operations of the three phases of water, oil and gas, and use a camera 210 to collect an image of the inside of the glass tube 110 and identify the oil and water levels and then feed back a height signal, and correct the oil and water levels that are identified by the camera 210 according to the reference oil and water levels, and then control the water-pumping plunger double pump 310, an oil-pumping plunger double pump 320, and a flowmeter 330 according to the reference oil and water levels. The piston movement displacement of the pump 310 and the pumping plunger dual pump 320 is used to ensure the constancy of the oil level and the water level during the separation process, and then the cumulative flow rate of the oil phase and the water phase is accurately calculated according to the height change of the oil level and the water level and the cumulative displacement of the unidirectional movement of the pistons of the pumping plunger dual pump 310 and the pumping plunger dual pump 320, so as to realize the continuous separation and precise metering of the "gas-oil-water three-phase fluid". The large-flow gas-oil-water continuous separation device and quantitative metering method provided in the embodiment of the present application can break through the size limitation of the separation device itself to realize the large-flow "gas-oil-water" continuous separation and metering, and can ensure the metering accuracy of each phase fluid, providing a technical basis for understanding the migration law of each component fluid in the physical simulation process of displacement and replacement.
[0072] Among them, the inner wall of the glass tube 110 is provided with a super-hydrophobic and oleophobic coating 150, which can effectively prevent the phenomenon of oil droplets / water droplets hanging on the wall during the separation process and avoid image recognition errors. The water-blocking and oil-permeable coated sand layer 140 on the inner wall of the middle part of the glass tube 110 can prevent water from flowing through the fourth interface 180 into the oil pumping plunger double pump 320 to be extracted, thereby ensuring the metering accuracy of the oil phase fluid. The top of the guide tube 340 extends to the middle part of the glass tube 110, which can effectively prevent gas from flowing to the water pumping port and the oil pumping port, thereby ensuring the metering accuracy of the gas phase fluid.
[0073] In this embodiment, the cumulative displacement of the unidirectional motion of the pistons of the water-pumping plunger double pump 310 and the oil-pumping plunger double pump 320 refers to: the sum of the distances of the unidirectional movement of the two pistons in the water-pumping plunger double pump 310 and the oil-pumping plunger double pump 320 along the piston cavity. For example, the distance that a piston in the water-pumping plunger double pump 310 moves along the piston cavity once in a single direction is L, and the distance L that the piston moves back and forth along the piston cavity to reset is not included in the cumulative displacement of the unidirectional motion of the piston. Therefore, the cumulative displacement of the unidirectional motion of a piston in the water-pumping plunger double pump 310 that moves back and forth along the piston cavity n times is nL, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. The sum of the distances of the unidirectional movement of the two pistons in the water-pumping plunger double pump 310 along the piston cavity is the cumulative displacement of the unidirectional motion of the piston of the water-pumping plunger double pump 310.
[0074] In this embodiment, the water level and the oil level are both measured and identified by taking the top surface of the bottom pad 130 as the reference surface.
[0075] The embodiments described above are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The detailed description of the embodiments of the present application is not intended to limit the scope of the present application for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
