Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of heavy oil thermal recovery, and in particular to a multi-element thermal fluid generating system for heavy oil thermal recovery. Background Art

[0002] With the growth of global energy demand, the extraction of heavy oil and thick oil has gradually become an important issue in the oil industry. Traditional conventional extraction methods cannot effectively extract deep-layer heavy oil resources, resulting in low energy utilization efficiency. Heavy oil thermal recovery technology has become an effective extraction method. By injecting hot fluid to heat the oil reservoir, the fluidity of heavy oil is increased, thereby improving the recovery rate. In particular, the use of steam or hot water injection technology has been widely used in heavy oil extraction and has become one of the key technologies for improving recovery in the oil industry.

[0003] Existing heavy oil thermal recovery technologies mainly include steam displacement, hot water displacement and other thermal fluid injection methods. Steam displacement technology uses steam to inject into the oil reservoir to reduce its viscosity by heating the heavy oil, thereby promoting its flow. However, the steam injection method has high energy consumption and large heat loss, especially during the injection and transportation process, and its efficiency is low. Other thermal fluid injection methods also have similar problems such as high energy consumption and low thermal efficiency, and fail to achieve efficient energy utilization.

[0004] The main problems faced by existing technologies are serious energy losses during the generation and transportation of thermal fluids, and the difficulty in real-time regulation of the injection process. The parameters of the thermal fluids cannot be adjusted efficiently and accurately, which restricts the recovery effect. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can improve the efficiency of thermal fluid injection and achieve precise regulation to optimize the heavy oil thermal recovery process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (1) Technical problems solved

[0006] To address the problems of high energy consumption and severe heat loss in the thermal fluid generation and transportation processes in existing technologies, as well as the lack of real-time dynamic control capabilities for reservoir conditions, the present invention provides a multi-element thermal fluid generation system for heavy oil thermal recovery. This system can achieve efficient optimization and precise control of the heavy oil thermal recovery process, thereby addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies in terms of heat energy distribution and operational flexibility.

[0007] (2) Technical solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a multi-element thermal fluid generation system for heavy oil thermal recovery, comprising: a data acquisition module that collects reservoir temperature, pressure, permeability, and fracture information in real time through a sensor network, monitors thermal fluid state parameters, and transmits the data to a data processing platform; the data processing platform generates input parameters for use by an edge computing device; the edge computing device runs an energy balance model and an environmental prediction algorithm to generate preliminary optimization parameters, and transmits them to the reservoir collaboration module;

[0009] The reservoir collaboration module uses a deep learning prediction model, combined with real-time reservoir data and historical injection records, to predict the impact of injected thermal fluid on reservoir structural stability and recovery efficiency. The optimization feedback unit integrates edge computing results to generate final optimization parameters, which are then passed to the dual-energy injection module and the transport and injection module.

[0010] The dual-energy injection module uses a trough solar collector and a swirl combustion chamber to generate saturated steam and high-temperature and high-pressure thermal fluid respectively. The nonlinear energy balance model is used to adjust the mixing ratio, output temperature and pressure parameters of the two thermal fluids in real time, and the optimized mixed thermal fluid is transmitted to the delivery and injection module.

[0011] The thermal fluid transportation and injection module injects the mixed thermal fluid of the dual-energy injection module into the oil reservoir through a high-pressure transportation pipeline and a dynamic flow regulating valve, and monitors the transportation status in real time through a temperature and pressure monitoring device, and dynamically adjusts the flow and pressure according to feedback signals to ensure the high efficiency and stability of heavy oil thermal recovery.

[0012] Preferably, the data acquisition module collects multiple key reservoir parameters in real time through a sensor network deployed in the reservoir area, including the temperature, pressure, permeability and crack expansion of the reservoir. Each sensor is equipped with a high-precision temperature and pressure probe, the permeability is measured by a micro flow meter, and the crack expansion information is obtained by an acoustic wave reflection method. These sensors transmit real-time data to the data processing platform to ensure low latency and high stability of data transmission. At the same time, the sensor adopts an anti-interference design, can adapt to high temperature and high pressure environments, and has corrosion resistance. The data acquisition platform supports two-way communication, updates data in real time and feeds back sensor status information. Data is transmitted through a wireless communication protocol and has high fault tolerance. It will automatically recover when data is lost. All collected reservoir parameter data is processed by a denoising algorithm and transmitted to the data processing platform to generate raw data that meets the analysis standards. The collected reservoir parameter data is combined with historical records to complete data optimization, filtering and normalization processing, providing clear and high-quality data support for subsequent edge computing devices, and generating input parameters for the calculation of the energy balance model and the environmental prediction model.

[0013] Preferably, the edge computing device realizes accurate energy demand prediction and injection scheme optimization by running the energy balance model and the environmental prediction model. The core formula of the energy balance model is: Q balance =Q input -Q output , where Q input is the input energy of solar energy and natural gas thermal fluid, Q output is the thermal energy demand for injection into the reservoir; through real-time monitoring of input and output heat, the device can adaptively adjust the output parameters to ensure thermal energy balance. The environmental prediction model uses Markov chains to predict the future state of the system, combining temperature, pressure and reservoir changes to optimize the injection time and flow rate of the thermal fluid. By combining the output results of the two models, the edge computing device generates preliminary optimization parameters in real time, including key parameters such as the mixing ratio, temperature, and pressure of the thermal fluid; the final result is transmitted to the reservoir collaboration module through a high-bandwidth data interface.

[0014] Preferably, the deep learning prediction model adopts a multi-layer neural network architecture combining a convolutional neural network and a long short-term memory network to process inputs from the sensor network and historical injection data. The convolutional neural network layer is responsible for extracting the spatial features of the reservoir data, such as temperature gradient, pressure change and fracture expansion, while the LSTM layer processes time series data to capture the long-term impact of injected thermal fluids on reservoir structural stability and recovery efficiency. The model structure is: y = f(CNN(x1), (LSTM(x2)) + b), where x1 is the spatial feature input, x2 is the time series data, f is the function that fuses the convolution and LSTM layers, and b is the bias term, and y is the final output recovery rate or structural stability prediction value; during the training process, the deep learning model uses labeled historical data for supervised learning, such as past reservoir recovery rates and injection conditions, and is optimized by minimizing the mean square error (MSE) loss function. The Adam optimization algorithm is used to update the weights. After training, the deep learning model can predict the long-term impact of thermal fluid injection on the reservoir based on the input real-time reservoir data, and generate corresponding optimization parameters for further processing by the reservoir collaboration module. At the same time, the accuracy of the model is evaluated through cross-validation and hold-out methods to ensure the high reliability of the prediction results.

[0015] Preferably, the trough type solar collector captures solar radiation energy through a combination design of a high-reflectivity reflector and a heat absorbing tube. The reflectivity of the reflector is as high as 95%, which can effectively focus sunlight onto the surface of the heat absorbing tube. The heat absorbing tube is made of copper-based composite material and filled with softened water. The tube wall is coated with black chrome to improve the heat absorption efficiency. The softened water in the heat absorbing tube is transported to the dynamic thermal fluid control device through a high-pressure steam pipe to achieve low-loss transmission of saturated steam. After passing through the control device, the saturated steam is mixed with natural gas to generate a thermal fluid to adjust to the optimal temperature and pressure for reservoir injection.

[0016] Preferably, the natural gas combustion vaporization device utilizes a swirl combustion chamber and a jet atomization device to efficiently burn and mix natural gas and softened water. The swirl combustion chamber adopts a multi-layer swirl design to cause the gas to rotate at high speed in the chamber, thereby enhancing the mixing effect. The core of the efficient combustion chamber is to improve the completeness of combustion by optimizing the airflow path in the combustion zone. The jet atomization device distributes softened water evenly to the combustion area through a high-speed rotating nozzle. The water droplets have a uniform diameter and are widely distributed. Through full contact with the high-temperature fuel gas, a high-temperature and high-pressure thermal fluid is generated. The thermal fluid is transmitted to the dynamic thermal fluid control device through a high-pressure output pipeline. The temperature and pressure during the combustion process are monitored in real time by precision sensors, and the combustion rate and gas mixing ratio are automatically adjusted to maintain combustion stability.

[0017] Preferably, the dynamic thermal fluid control device calculates the mixing ratio of the two thermal fluids through a nonlinear energy balance model. The nonlinear energy balance model dynamically adjusts the mixing ratio using a nonlinear optimization method based on the final optimization parameters of the reservoir feedback and the temperature, pressure, and flow data of the real-time thermal fluid. The specific formula is: Where R represents the proportion of steam, Q 蒸汽 and Q 热流体 They represent the heat input of steam and high-temperature and high-pressure thermal fluid respectively. The proportional control valve is precisely adjusted according to the nonlinear optimization results, and can respond to changes within milliseconds to control the output flow and pressure. The temperature and pressure control unit monitors the state of the mixed thermal fluid in real time through an integrated high-precision sensor, and further adjusts the output parameters of the mixed thermal fluid based on the monitoring data to ensure that the output temperature, pressure and flow meet the optimization requirements of heavy oil thermal recovery and adapt to changes in complex working conditions.

[0018] Preferably, the delivery and injection module injects the mixed thermal fluid into the reservoir through a high-pressure delivery pipeline and accurately controls the flow rate through a dynamic flow control valve; the temperature and pressure monitoring device is installed at the end of the pipeline, monitors the temperature, pressure and flow of the injected fluid in real time, and then transmits the data back to the acquisition module for processing in real time. The injection flow and pressure are adjusted based on the real-time feedback to ensure stability and efficiency during the injection process. The system adopts a two-way feedback mechanism to adjust the injection conditions of the thermal fluid in real time according to the reaction of the reservoir and the change of the fluid state to ensure uniform distribution of the thermal fluid and continuous injection efficiency; the temperature and pressure monitoring device monitors the flow, temperature and pressure data of the reservoir injection process in real time through high-precision sensors, transmits the data to the data acquisition module through a wireless communication module for processing, and compares it with historical data to detect any abnormal fluctuations or mismatches; the data processing platform filters and corrects the collected temperature and pressure data through an algorithm to ensure the accuracy of the sensor data and then generates optimized control instructions; under the system's two-way feedback mechanism, when the temperature or pressure exceeds the set range, the system automatically adjusts the opening of the flow control valve to promptly change the flow or pressure of the thermal fluid to restore the optimal injection conditions. The specific adjustment method is calculated by the formula: Among them, △Q is the flow change after adjustment, K is the proportional constant, P desired and P actual are set values ​​and actual monitoring values ​​respectively; the flow control valve responds to the adjustment signal, quickly changes the flow output, and maintains the balance of thermal fluid injection in the reservoir.

[0019] Preferably, the nonlinear energy balance model dynamically calculates the mixing ratio and injection conditions of the output thermal fluid based on the feedback parameters of the reservoir and the real-time monitored thermal fluid temperature, pressure, and flow rate data. Through the nonlinear optimization algorithm, the model objective is to minimize the error of the following formula: min(|q 需求 -∑ i Qi | ), where Q 需求 is the thermal energy requirement of the reservoir under specific conditions, ∑ i Q i The objective function is optimized using the Newton iteration method to calculate the optimal thermal fluid ratio in the shortest possible time, thereby meeting the reservoir's recovery needs. The nonlinear algorithm generates precise instructions for the control system of the regulating valve, adjusting the proportional valve and the temperature and pressure control unit so that the final output flow and pressure strictly meet the set standards.

[0020] Preferably, the data processing platform processes and optimizes the real-time data collected by the sensor, removes errors in sensor collection through the Kalman filter denoising algorithm, and further improves the accuracy of the data. The processed data is extracted using the principal component analysis (PCA) method. The PCA method performs eigenvalue decomposition on the data matrix and selects the features in the direction of maximum variance for dimensionality reduction, thereby optimizing the utilization of computing resources. The processed data is transmitted to the edge computing device for further running the energy balance model and the environmental prediction model; it also supports data storage and historical data query to ensure data traceability and system optimization in long-term operation. The key features are temperature, pressure, permeability and crack information.

[0023] 1. The present invention has excellent real-time feedback and adjustment capabilities, and can accurately control the injection process of the thermal fluid. The data acquisition module monitors the temperature, pressure, permeability and fracture information of the oil reservoir in real time, and accurately controls the flow and pressure through the dynamic flow control valve and temperature and pressure monitoring device. The system can dynamically adjust the injection parameters according to the actual reaction of the oil reservoir and the changes in the state of the thermal fluid. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that the thermal fluid is evenly injected into the oil reservoir, thereby improving the uniformity of the distribution of the thermal fluid in the oil reservoir, avoiding the generation of overheated or cold zones, maximizing the recovery efficiency of heavy oil, and reducing energy consumption and costs. In addition, the system's optimization feedback module analyzes the structural stability and recovery efficiency of the oil reservoir through a deep learning prediction model, further optimizes the injection plan, and ensures that the thermal recovery process is carried out under optimal working conditions.
