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] Fluid displacement technology has been widely used in oil and gas field production due to its ability to effectively increase oil and gas recovery rates. Fluid displacement technology involves injecting fluids (such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water) to displace crude oil and gas from reservoirs, thereby increasing oil and gas production. With the increasing application of fluid displacement technology, research on the flow characteristics of the three-phase fluids of oil, gas, and water during fluid displacement has become increasingly important.
[0003] Conventional fluid displacement physical simulation separation devices primarily focus on separating the gas and liquid phases, but have limitations in gas-oil-water separation and metering. Specifically, these devices typically use weighing or differential pressure gauges to achieve cumulative metering of the liquid phase and flow meters to measure the gas flow rate. However, this method makes it difficult to distinguish between the water and oil phases and can only measure the gas and liquid phases. Furthermore, conventional separation devices and solutions can only meet the requirements of displacement testing for small-scale samples. Their limited space becomes particularly evident when dealing with large-scale samples: when the cumulative liquid production exceeds the volume of the separation device, the cumulative liquid production cannot be accurately measured, affecting the continuous monitoring of gas and liquid during the displacement process. Existing physical simulation devices for displacement are primarily used for the displacement of small-scale samples. The cumulative liquid production during the displacement process is limited, but as the sample size increases, the cumulative liquid production also increases. This requires the separation device to have a larger effective volume to meet the experimental requirements. However, unlimited expansion of the separation device volume not only increases the cost of the equipment but also affects the accuracy of liquid phase metering. Summary of the Invention

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides a quantitative metering method for continuous separation of large-flow gas, oil and water, comprising the following steps:
[0053] 13. The oil level in the glass tube 110 is adjusted to the desired level. h 1 and oil level h 2:
[0054] ;
[0055] Where, h ref1 is the measured height of the water level in the glass tube 110 under the reference state, cm; h ref2 is the measured height of the oil level in the glass tube 110 under the reference state, cm; D is the total height of the identification area between the top spacer 120 and the bottom spacer 130 in the glass tube 110, in cm; D 1 is the water level height of the image captured by the camera 210, in cm; D 2 is the oil level height recognized by the image captured by the camera 210, in cm;
[0056] Step 2: Control the water pumping plunger dual pump 310 and the oil pumping plunger dual pump 320 to start selectively pumping water and oil out of or into the glass tube 110, and record the real-time change of the water level in the glass tube 110 at the initial moment. h 1 (0) and oil level h 2 (0) ;

The flow rate and cumulative flow of the gas phase are monitored using the flow meter 330. At the same time, the height change data of the water level and the oil level in the glass tube 110 are monitored. Based on the monitored height change data, the unidirectional cumulative displacement of the pistons of the water pumping plunger dual pump 310 and the oil pumping plunger dual pump 320 is controlled to maintain constant heights of the water level and the oil level.
[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] ;
[0060] Where, u 1 (i) for i Cumulative displacement of the piston of the water-pumping double pump 310 in one direction at a time, cm; k 1. k 2 and k 3 is the coefficient for controlling the response speed of the piston of the water-pumping double-piston pump 310, obtained through actual testing; h 1 (i) for i The height of the water level at the moment, cm;

[0064] Step 4: Calculate the cumulative flow rate of the water phase and the cumulative flow rate of the oil phase based on the cumulative displacement of the pistons of the water pumping plunger dual pump 310 and the oil pumping plunger dual pump 320 and the height change data of the water level and the oil level in the glass tube 110.
[0065] The cumulative flow rate of the water phase is calculated using the following formula V 1 (i) :
[0066] ;
[0067] Where, u 1 (i) for i Cumulative displacement of the piston of the water-pumping double pump 310 in one direction at a time, cm; A is the cross-sectional area of a single piston chamber of the water-pumping double piston pump 310, cm 2 ; S is the cross-sectional area of the glass tube 110, cm 2 ;
[0068] Use the following formula to calculate the cumulative flow rate of the oil phase V 2 (i) :
[0069] ;
[0070] Where, u 2 (i) is the cumulative displacement of the piston of the oil pumping plunger dual pump 320 in one direction at time i, cm; A is the cross-sectional area of a single piston chamber of the oil pumping plunger dual pump 320, cm 2 ; S is the cross-sectional area of the glass tube 110, cm 2 .
[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 accommodate the three-phase fluid of gas, oil and water, and use the water pumping plunger dual pump 310, the oil pumping plunger dual pump 320 and the flow meter 330 of the dynamic control and measurement system 300 to respectively perform the extraction and separation operations of the three phases of water, oil and gas, and use the camera 210 to collect the image inside the glass tube 110 and identify the oil liquid level and the water liquid level and then feedback the height signal, and correct the oil liquid level and the water liquid level height that the camera 210 collects and identifies according to the reference oil liquid level and water liquid level height, and then control the water pumping plunger dual pump 310, the oil pumping plunger dual pump 320 and the flow meter 330 according to the reference oil liquid level and water liquid level height, and then control the water pumping plunger dual pump 310, the oil pumping plunger dual pump 320 and the flow meter 330 according to the dynamic control and measurement system 300 to respectively perform the extraction and separation operations of the three phases of water, oil and gas, and use the camera 210 to collect the image inside the glass tube 110 and identify the oil liquid level and the water liquid level and then feedback the height signal, and correct the oil liquid level and the water liquid level height that the camera 210 collects and identifies according to the reference oil liquid level and water liquid level height, and then control the water pumping plunger dual pump 310, the oil pumping plunger dual pump 320 and the flow meter 330 ... The piston movement displacement of the pump 310 and the oil 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 water pumping plunger dual pump 310 and the oil pumping plunger dual pump 320, thereby realizing the continuous separation and precise measurement of the "gas-oil-water three-phase fluid". The large-flow gas-oil-water continuous separation device and quantitative measurement method provided in the embodiment of the present application can break through the size limitation of the separation device itself to realize large-flow "gas-oil-water" continuous separation and measurement, and can ensure the measurement accuracy of each phase fluid, providing a technical basis for understanding the migration law of each component fluid in the displacement and replacement physical simulation process.
[0072] The inner wall of the glass tube 110 is provided with a super-hydrophobic and oleophobic coating 150, which effectively prevents oil and water droplets from clinging to the wall during the separation process, thus avoiding image recognition errors. A water-blocking and oil-permeable coated sand layer 140 on the central inner wall of the glass tube 110 prevents water from flowing through the fourth port 180 and into the pumping plunger dual pump 320 for extraction, thereby ensuring the metering accuracy of the oil-phase fluid. The top of the flow guide 340 extends to the central interior of the glass tube 110, effectively preventing gas from flowing toward the water and oil extraction ports, 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 dual pump 310 and the oil-pumping plunger dual pump 320 refers to: the sum of the distances that the two pistons in the water-pumping plunger dual pump 310 and the oil-pumping plunger dual pump 320 move unidirectionally along the piston cavity. For example, the distance that a piston in the water-pumping plunger dual pump 310 moves unidirectionally along the piston cavity once 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 dual pump 310 that moves back and forth n times along the piston cavity is nL, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. The sum of the distances that the two pistons in the water-pumping plunger dual pump 310 move unidirectionally along the piston cavity is the cumulative displacement of the unidirectional motion of the piston of the water-pumping plunger dual pump 310.
[0074] In this embodiment, the water level and the oil level are both measured and identified using the top surface of the bottom pad 130 as a 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 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
