[0002] There are two ways to inject water into oil fields: general injection and stratified injection. General injection means that all layers in the whole well are not isolated and water is injected at the same pressure; stratified injection means that packers are placed in the injection well to separate the oil layers, and a water distributor is placed in each layer to inject water. Stratified injection wells mainly use integrated testing and adjustment and conventional casting and catching testing and adjustment processes. The workload of on-site testing, adjustment and sealing is large, resulting in a large waste of manpower and equipment resources. With the complexity of the injection well conditions and the influence of factors such as corrosion and scaling of the injection pipe, the workload and cost of testing and adjustment will increase. The testing and adjustment equipment and testing team face many challenges such as heavy tasks and high intensity.
[0003] Cable-based intelligent water injection is the process of transmitting underground production status parameters to the ground in real time via cables. After ground data processing and analysis, the ground control system issues instructions to adjust the intelligent water distributor to achieve water injection in each layer.
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a stratified water injection process that can control the water distribution of each layer underground from the ground through cables. The process can control the switch of each layer of water nozzles, realize the test of water volume in each layer, and collect injection parameters in each layer.

[0006] The prior art has the problems of being unable to backwash and prevent sand, and the real-time injection data of layers is incomplete.

[0052] The method for using the expandable intelligent measurement and control injection string includes the following steps:
[0053] S1. Connect the tool and put it into the tool string
[0054] The tools are connected in sequence through the water injection oil pipes, and the distance between the tools is adjusted by the number of oil pipes, so that the cable expansion packer is located near the barrier between the two water injection layer sections. The intelligent measurement and control device corresponds to each water injection layer section. The signal cable is connected to the intelligent measurement and control device in sequence and passes through the cable expansion packer. Each oil pipe uses a cable protector to fix the signal cable on the outer wall of the oil pipe. The water injection oil pipe is hung on the water injection wellhead that can pass through the cable, and the cable passes through the wellhead and is connected to the ground control cabinet;
[0055] S 2. Trial injection and sealing
[0056] The remote measurement and control service terminal controls the intelligent measurement and control devices of each layer to turn on the water nozzle switch, and water injection begins on the ground. The incoming water enters the intelligent measurement and control device through the water injection oil pipe. The rotary electric drive control short section adjusts the water volume and then flows out from the water outlet. At this time, the spring force of the anti-reverse spring must be overcome to push open the water outlet adjustment ring before injection into the formation. The water injection process will generate a throttling pressure difference inside and outside the water injection oil pipe. The internal pressure is greater than the external pressure. Under the action of the throttling pressure difference, the rubber cylinder of the cable expansion packer automatically expands to complete the sealing and separate the water injection layer section.
[0057] S 3. Well washing
[0058] Stop water injection, the casing pressure is balanced, the throttling pressure difference inside and outside the tubing disappears, and the packer rubber tube is automatically retracted to complete the unsealing; adopt the reverse circulation well washing mode, the well washing fluid enters the water injection tubing from the casing through the constant pressure sand settling well washing valve and then returns to the ground;
[0059] S4, water injection, testing and adjustment
[0060] The sensors in the intelligent measurement and control device collect the pressure and temperature values inside and outside the downhole oil pipe. The internal pressure test module is connected to the central flow channel through the internal pressure hole to collect the pressure data inside the oil pipe. The external pressure test module is connected to the casing through the external pressure hole to collect the pressure data of the oil pipe and the casing annulus. The post-hole pressure test module is connected to the flow test channel to collect the pressure data after the incoming water flows through the orifice plate. The temperature test module collects temperature data.
[0061] Part of the injected water enters the flow test channel through the diversion hole at the lower end of the central flow channel of the intelligent measurement and control device, and part of it continues to be injected into the lower intelligent measurement and control device; the incoming water enters the flow test channel and passes through the orifice plate, which is pressed tightly in the flow test channel by the orifice plate pressure ring. Two different pressure values are formed before and after the orifice plate. The pressure value before the orifice plate is equal to the pressure value inside the oil pipe, which is Pinner, collected by the internal pressure test module, and the pressure value behind the orifice plate Phole is collected by the back-hole pressure test module. The inner hole area of the orifice plate is a different fixed value A0 according to different flow test ranges. The flow rate q of this layer can be calculated using the differential pressure flow calculation formula v :
[0062]
[0063] The outflow coefficient C can be expressed as:
[0064] C=0.5961+0.0261β 2 -0.216β 8 (2)
[0065] β=d / D (3)
[0066] Where: C-discharge coefficient; β-diameter ratio; d-throttle diameter; D-flow channel diameter, i.e. the inner diameter of the flow test channel; ΔP-pressure difference, ΔP=P内 -P 孔 ; A 0 -orifice area; ρ-fluid density.
[0067] According to the allocation requirements of each layer, the remote measurement and control service terminal issues control instructions to adjust the water volume of the intelligent measurement and control devices on each layer until the allocation requirements are met. After the collected data is processed by the processor, it is uploaded to the ground control cabinet through the signal cable, and the ground control cabinet then sends it to the remote measurement and control service terminal via wired or wireless means.
[0068] In the intelligent measurement and control device, the incoming water flows out from the flow test water outlet and enters the rotary electric drive control short section through the water inlet tank. There are two symmetrical waist-shaped holes on the adjusting shaft of the fixed valve and the movable valve plate. The fixed valve and the movable valve plate are completely fitted, and a metal seal is adopted. The adjusting valve spring is used to tighten the movable valve plate adjusting shaft, and the movable valve plate adjusting shaft is driven by the reduction motor to rotate radially.
[0069] When the two waist-shaped holes on the adjustment shaft of the fixed valve and the movable valve plate are completely overlapped, the water volume is the largest. As the movable valve plate adjustment shaft continues to rotate, the overlapping area of the two waist-shaped holes will become smaller and smaller, and the water volume will also decrease accordingly. When the two waist-shaped holes on the adjustment shaft of the fixed valve and the movable valve plate do not overlap at all, the water volume is zero.
[0070] As the water volume changes, the differential pressure before and after the orifice plate will also change. Different flow values can be obtained according to the flow calculation formula.
[0071] Finally, the incoming water flows out from the water outlet after passing through the movable waist-shaped hole and the fixed waist-shaped hole, pushing open the water outlet regulating ring and injecting into the formation.

[0107] The plug 1 is used to seal the bottom of the pipe column to make the pipe column as a whole sealed.
[0108] The sand settling tail pipe 2 is a part of the water injection oil pipe 9, and is designed between the wire plug 1 and the constant pressure sand settling well washing valve 2, and is used to deposit formation sand and other impurities to ensure the quality of water injection.

It should be noted that the ground control cabinet 13 is a commonly used control equipment in the well site, and technicians in this field are clear about this.
[0117] The flow automatic controller 12 is used to control the water injection volume of the entire well, and can cooperate with the downhole intelligent measurement and control device 4 to complete the calibration of the flow of each layer downhole.

[0136] Example 3
[0137] This embodiment is a detailed description of the method for using the expandable intelligent measurement and control injection string in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2. Figure 1 , Figure 6 .
[0138] S1. Run the tool string
[0139] The tools are connected in sequence through the water injection oil pipe 9, and the distance between the tools is adjusted by the number of oil pipes, so that the cable expansion packer 5 is located near the barrier between the two water injection layer sections. The intelligent measurement and control device 4 corresponds to each water injection layer section. The signal cable 8 is connected to the first intelligent measurement and control device 4-1 and the second intelligent measurement and control device 4-2 in sequence, and passes through the cable expansion packer 5. Each oil pipe uses a cable protector 7 to fix the signal cable 8 on the outer wall of the oil pipe. The water injection oil pipe 9 is suspended at the water injection wellhead 11 that can pass through the cable, and the cable passes through the wellhead and is connected to the ground control cabinet 13;
[0140] S2, Trial injection and sealing
[0141] The remote measurement and control service terminal 14 controls the intelligent measurement and control device 4 at each layer to turn on the water nozzle switch, and water begins to be injected into the ground. The incoming water enters the intelligent measurement and control device 4 through the water injection oil pipe 9, and the rotary electric drive control short section 31 adjusts the water volume and then flows out from the water outlet 55. At this time, it is necessary to overcome the spring force of the anti-reverse spring 22 to push the water outlet adjustment ring 21 to inject into the formation. The water injection process will generate a throttling pressure difference between the inside and outside of the water injection oil pipe 9 (the internal pressure is greater than the external pressure). Under the action of the throttling pressure difference, the rubber cylinder of the cable expansion seal 5 automatically expands to complete the sealing and separate the water injection layer section.
[0142] S3. Well washing
[0143] Stop water injection, the casing pressure is balanced, the throttling pressure difference inside and outside the tubing disappears, and the packer rubber tube is automatically retracted to complete the unsealing. Adopt the reverse circulation well washing mode, the well washing fluid enters the water injection tubing 9 from the casing 10 through the constant pressure sand settling well washing valve 3 and then returns to the ground.
[0144] S4. Test and Adjustment
[0145] The sensors in the intelligent measurement and control device 4 collect the pressure and temperature values inside and outside the downhole oil pipe. The internal pressure test module 33 is connected with the central flow channel 49 through the internal pressure hole 56 to collect the pressure data inside the oil pipe. The external pressure test module 29 is connected with the casing 10 through the external pressure hole 57 to collect the pressure data of the oil pipe and the casing annulus. The post-hole pressure test module 32 is connected with the flow test channel 51 to collect the pressure data after the incoming water flows through the orifice plate 52. The temperature test module 34 collects temperature data.
[0146] Part of the injected water enters the flow test channel 51 through the diversion hole 50 at the lower end of the central flow channel 49 of the second intelligent measurement and control device 4-2, and part of the injected water continues to be injected into the first intelligent measurement and control device 4-1 of the lower layer; the incoming water enters the flow test channel 51 and passes through the orifice plate 52, and the orifice plate 52 is pressed tightly in the flow test channel 51 by the orifice plate pressure ring 53. Two different pressure values are formed before and after the orifice plate 52. The pressure value before the orifice plate 52 is equal to the pressure value inside the oil pipe, which is Pinner, and is collected by the internal pressure test module 33. The pressure value Phole after the orifice plate 52 is collected by the post-orifice pressure test module 32. The inner hole area of the orifice plate 52 is a different fixed value A0 according to different flow test ranges. The flow rate q of this layer can be calculated using the differential pressure flow calculation formula v :
[0147]
[0148] The outflow coefficient C can be expressed as:
[0149] C=0.5961+0.0261β 2 -0.216β 8 (2)
[0150] β=d / D (3)
[0151] Where: C-outflow coefficient;
[0152] β-diameter ratio;
[0153] d-throttle hole diameter;
[0154] D-flow channel diameter (inner diameter of flow test channel 51);
[0155] ΔP-pressure difference, ΔP=P 内 -P 孔 ;
[0156] A 0 - Orifice area;
[0157] ρ - fluid density.
[0158] After the incoming water flows out of the flow test water outlet 54, it enters the rotary electric drive control short section 31 through the water inlet trough 46. There are two symmetrical waist-shaped holes on the adjustment fixed valve 35 and the movable valve plate adjustment shaft 36. The fixed valve and the movable valve plate are completely fitted, and the metal seal is adopted. The adjustment valve spring 37 is pressed, and the movable valve plate adjustment shaft 36 is driven by the reduction motor 43 to rotate radially. When the two waist-shaped holes of the adjustment fixed valve 35 and the movable valve plate adjustment shaft 36 are completely overlapped, the water volume is the largest. As the movable valve plate adjustment shaft 36 continues to rotate, the overlap area of the two waist-shaped holes will become smaller and smaller, and the water volume will also decrease accordingly. When the two waist-shaped holes on the adjustment fixed valve 35 and the movable valve plate adjustment shaft 36 do not overlap at all, the water volume is zero. When the water volume changes, the differential pressure before and after the orifice plate 52 will also change accordingly, and different flow values can be obtained according to the flow calculation formula. Finally, the incoming water flows out from the water outlet 55 through the movable waist-shaped hole 47 and the fixed waist-shaped hole 48, pushes open the water outlet regulating ring 21 and is injected into the stratum.
[0159] According to the allocation requirements of each layer, the remote measurement and control service terminal 14 issues control instructions to adjust the water volume of the intelligent measurement and control device 4 on each layer until the allocation requirements are met. After the collected data is processed by the processor, it is uploaded to the ground control cabinet 13 through the signal cable 8, and the ground control cabinet 13 then sends it to the remote measurement and control service terminal 14 by wired or wireless means.
[0160] Example 4
[0161] This embodiment describes in detail the structure of the constant-pressure sand settling and well-washing valve 3 in the pipe string described in Embodiment 1.

[0163] The connection method is that the second upper joint 58, the outer tube 59, the diverter 68, and the second lower joint 69 are connected in sequence by threads; wherein the lower end of the outer tube 59 is connected to the outer wall of the upper end of the diverter 68, and the upper end of the second lower joint 69 is connected to the outer wall of the lower end of the diverter 68.
[0164] A second sink hole is provided at the center of the upper end of the flow divider 68, a well-washing water inlet hole 70 is provided on the side wall of the sink hole to connect the second sink hole with the outside, and an axial sand settling channel 71 is provided on the hole wall of the flow divider 68;
[0165] The connecting short section 67 is connected to the upper end of the second counterbore, and the sand prevention valve is arranged at the upper end of the connecting short section 67 .
[0166] The anti-sand valve comprises a flow guide ball cover 60, a large spring 61, a valve ball 62, a valve seat 63, a valve seat sleeve 64, a ball stop cover 65, a small spring 66,
[0167] The guide ball cover 60 is threadedly connected to the valve seat sleeve 64. The upper end of the guide ball cover 60 is connected to the outer cone spring seat. The large spring 61, the first valve ball, and the first valve seat are arranged in sequence under the outer cone spring seat. The valve seat sleeve 64 is provided with a step, and the ball cover 65, the small spring 66, the valve ball 62, and the second valve seat are arranged under the step. The lower end of the valve seat sleeve 64 is connected to the upper end of the connecting short section 67.
[0168] The ball blocking cover 65 is provided with through holes or is a spoke wheel structure.
[0169] When this embodiment is used:
[0170] like Figure 7 As shown in the direction of the solid arrow in the middle, during reverse circulation well washing, the well washing fluid flows from the casing 10 through the well washing water inlet 70 of the constant pressure sand settling well washing valve 3 into the well washing channel 72, overcomes the spring force and opens the valve ball 62 at a constant pressure, allowing the well washing fluid to flow out, enter the water injection oil pipe 9, and then return to the ground.
[0171] like Figure 7 As shown in the direction of the hollow arrow, when well washing or water injection is stopped, the formation return material or the granular impurities during water injection are guided by the outer cone spring seat and fall into the sand settling tail pipe 2 through the sand settling channel 71, thereby preventing the valve ball from being buried and causing well washing to be blocked.
