Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petroleum well logging, and in particular to a wellbore leak detection tool and a leak detection method for an oil production well. Background Art

[0002] For oil fields that are being developed in large quantities in China, as time goes on, some oil casings may develop cracks, holes in the formation, and other natural factors that may cause the wellbore to be disconnected, perforated, or ruptured due to poor geological conditions, excessive bottom hole pressure, or chemical corrosion.

[0003] During the oil well logging process, if there is a leak in the wellbore, it will not only affect the drilling efficiency, but serious well leakage may lead to blowout or well collapse, endangering the drilling equipment, and may also pose a threat to the environment and personnel safety. In addition, well leakage may also cause irreversible damage to the production layer and affect the efficiency of oil resource extraction. Therefore, timely discovery and determination of the depth of the leak is of great significance for the remediation and maintenance of oil and gas wells.

[0004] At present, there are many methods for detecting leaks in oil well casings at home and abroad, such as the well temperature and noise combined logging method: this method determines the location of the leak by detecting the well temperature change and the noise level. In the case of a large gas well leakage, this method is effective and can effectively detect the leak. However, in the case of a small leakage, the characteristics of the well temperature change and the noise level are not obvious, which can easily lead to inaccurate leak detection or even missed detection. At the same time, this method has high requirements on the accuracy of the detection equipment, and the equipment cost and maintenance cost are relatively high.

[0005] Annular fluid activity measurement method: This method detects leaks by monitoring the activity of the annular fluid. When the gas well leakage is small, this method can detect the leak location more accurately, and the test space range is larger. However, the detection results of this method are easily affected by the properties of the annular fluid, the flow state, and other interference factors in the well. For example, when the annular fluid has a complex flow state or contains impurities, it may lead to misjudgment of the fluid activity, thereby affecting the accuracy of leak detection. In addition, the detection process of this method is relatively complicated and requires professional operators to operate and analyze.

[0006] Induction logging: This method detects leaks by measuring formation resistivity. Induction logging (IL) determines the resistivity of the formation through the main current (I0) and the potential difference (△U) in the main current field, thereby determining the location of the leak. Although induction logging is suitable for situations where formation resistivity needs to be accurately measured, this method can only detect areas where formation resistivity changes. For some leaks that do not affect formation resistivity, such as tiny cracks in the casing, it may not be accurately detected. In addition, induction logging equipment is expensive and requires a high level of technical skills from the operator, which is subject to certain limitations in practical applications.

[0007] Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the selection of the appropriate method needs to be determined based on the specific situation and the characteristics of the leak point. For example, the temperature-noise combined logging method works better when the leak volume is large, while the annular fluid activity determination method is more effective when the leak volume is small. Induction logging is suitable for situations where accurate measurement of formation resistivity is required.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention provides a wellbore leak detection tool and a leak detection method for an oil production well. Summary of the invention

[0032] The screw device includes a thrust ball bearing 2-3, a needle bearing 2-4, a limit cylinder 2-5, a first limit switch 2-6, a trapezoidal screw 2-7, an intermediate cylinder 2-8, a push-pull rod 2-9, a limit block 2-14 and a second limit switch 2-20; one end of the power housing 2-15 is connected to the plug 2-1, and the other end is connected to the pressurizing device, the upper end of the bearing housing 2-16 is connected to the motor housing 2-17, and the lower end is connected to the limit cylinder 2-5, the lower end of the limit cylinder 2-5 is connected to the intermediate cylinder 2-8, the trapezoidal screw 2-7 is arranged inside the limit cylinder 2-5 and the upper end of the trapezoidal screw 2-7 is connected through the coupling 2-1 8 is connected to the output end of the DC motor 2-2, the lower end of the trapezoidal lead screw 2-7 is connected to the upper end of the push-pull rod 2-9, and the lower end of the push-pull rod 2-9 is connected to the pressurizing device; the upper and lower side walls of the limit cylinder 2-5 are provided with a slot 2-19, the upper end of the slot 2-19 of the limit cylinder 2-5 is provided with a first limit switch 2-6, the lower end of the slot 2-19 of the limit cylinder 2-5 is provided with a second limit switch 2-20, and the slot 2-19 is provided with an anti-rotation key 2-14, and the limit cylinder 2-5 and the trapezoidal lead screw 2-7 make reciprocating motion in the slot 2-19 through the anti-rotation key 2-14 to provide a push-pull force for the pressurizing device; The pressurizing device includes a piston cylinder 2-10, a piston 2-11, a first one-way valve 2-12, a second pressure sensor 2-13 and a second one-way valve 2-21; The push-pull rod 2-9 extends to the inside of the intermediate cylinder 2-8 to connect to the piston 2-11. The piston 2-11 is slidably arranged inside the piston cylinder 2-10. The piston cylinder 2-10 and the intermediate cylinder 2-8 are connected by a threaded and sealing ring structure, forming two independent closed cavities at the upper and lower ends of the piston 2-11; the first one-way valve 2-12 is arranged on the piston 2-11, which is used to press the liquid at the upper end of the piston 2-11 into the lower end of the piston 2-11. The second pressure sensor 2-13 and the second one-way valve 2-21 are arranged at the lower end of the piston cylinder 2-10.

If the pressure in the well increases to a certain value and remains unchanged within a certain period of time, it can be determined that there is no leakage in the well section.

[0033] It should be noted that the increase in well pressure to a certain value and for a certain time here refers to the pressure required by the user; for example, if it needs to be increased to 20MPa, then when the well pressure increases by 20MPa and the pressure remains unchanged within 30 minutes, it can be determined that there is no leakage in the well section. If the pressure changes, it can be determined that there is leakage in the well section.

[0034] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the upper joint assembly 1 also includes a high-pressure socket 1-2, a screw ring 1-3 and an upper joint 1-4; the docking valve 1-5 is fixed on the left side of the upper end of the upper joint 1-4, and the first pressure sensor 1-1 is fixed on the right side of the upper end of the upper joint 1-4, which can monitor the pressure of the well fluid at the upper end of the sealing tool in real time; the high-pressure socket 1-2 is fixed in the middle of the upper end of the upper joint 1-4, and is used to electrically connect the lower end of the sealing tool. The high-pressure plug-in 1-2 is used here to isolate the sealing tool and the wellbore leak detection tool, so that the grouting of one of them will not cause the grouting of the other; the screw ring 1-3 is fixed on the outside of the upper joint 1-4, connecting the mechanical interface at the lower end of the sealing tool; the docking valve 1-5 is installed at the upper end of the upper joint 1-4, and its function is to introduce mud from the reserved hole of the sealing tool into the wellbore leak detection tool when the sealing tool is connected to the wellbore leak detection tool.

[0035] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the limit cylinder 2-5 is fixedly connected to the bearing seat 2-16, and a thrust ball bearing 2-3 and a needle roller bearing 2-4 are also arranged between the trapezoidal screw 2-7 and the bearing housing 2-16. The thrust ball bearing 2-3 is mainly used to bear axial loads, making the operation of the tool more stable, safe and reliable. The needle roller bearing 2-4 mainly bears radial loads, effectively reducing the friction generated during the rotation of the trapezoidal screw 2-7, extending the life of the tool and ensuring its stable operation.

[0036] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the upper joint assembly 1 is internally connected to the power device via a wire tube 6, and the wire tube 6 passes through the wires of the DC motor 2-2, the first limit switch 2-6 and the second limit switch 2-20.

[0037] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, a cover plate 5 is provided at the connection between the upper joint assembly 1 and the two side walls of the power device, and the cover plate 5 is used to protect the high-pressure hard pipe 4 and the wire pipe 6 exposed to the well fluid.

[0038] The present invention provides a leakage detection method for a wellbore leakage detection tool for an oil production well, which is implemented based on the wellbore leakage detection tool described above and comprises the following steps: The wellbore leak detection tool is connected to the lower end of the sealing tool. After the sealing tool is set in the well, the wellbore is divided into two independent spaces, the upper end and the lower end. The pressurizing device repeatedly pumps the well fluid extracted from the upper end of the wellbore to the lower end of the wellbore; As the wellbore fluid increases at the lower end of the wellbore, the pressure at the lower end of the wellbore also increases. The first pressure sensor 1-1 monitors the pressure at the upper end of the wellbore, and the second pressure sensor 2-13 monitors the pressure at the lower end of the wellbore; Determine whether a well section is leaking by monitoring pressure changes.

[0039] Specifically, when the DC motor 2-2 rotates forward, the push-pull rod 2-9 drives the pressure piston 2-11 to move forward, forming a low-pressure chamber at the upper end of the piston 2-11 and a high-pressure chamber at the lower end of the piston 2-11. The well fluid at the upper end of the sealing tool fills the low-pressure chamber as the piston 2-11 moves forward. When the piston 2-11 moves to the extreme position and touches the first limit switch 2-6, the motor reverses; After the motor reverses, the piston 2-11 moves backward, squeezing the low-pressure chamber fluid. When the internal pressure reaches the opening pressure of the safety valve, the low-pressure chamber fluid flows into the high-pressure chamber through the first one-way valve 2-12. When the piston 2-11 moves to the limit position and touches the second limit switch 2-20, the motor reverses again; At this time, the motor rotates forward again, the piston 2-11 moves forward, the well fluid at the upper end of the packer flows into the low-pressure chamber again, and the well fluid in the high-pressure chamber is squeezed. When the internal pressure reaches the opening pressure of the safety valve, the well fluid in the high-pressure chamber flows into the lower wellbore of the sealing tool through the second one-way valve 2-21, thereby increasing the pressure.

[0040] During the whole process, the first pressure sensor 1-1 on the upper joint assembly 1 monitors the pressure of the well fluid at the upper end of the sealing tool in real time, and the second pressure sensor 2-13 on the pressurizing device monitors the pressure change of the well fluid in the wellbore at the lower end of the sealing tool and transmits the signal to the ground. If the pressure in the well increases to a certain value and remains unchanged for a certain period of time, it can be determined that there is no leakage in the well section.

[0041] The wellbore leak detection tool for oil production wells of the present invention has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, accurate detection, safety and reliability, etc., can effectively meet the wellbore leak detection needs of oil production wells, and has broad market application prospects.
