[0028] like Figure 1As shown, the present application provides a sampling device for CO2 geological storage, and an embodiment of the sampling device is installed in a casing 10 in a well. The sampling device includes: a first packer 11, a second packer 12, a push pipe 21 and a sampling pipe 22. The second packer 12 and the first packer 11 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and a sampling space 13 is enclosed between the second packer 12, the first packer 11 and the casing 10. The push pipe 21 is penetrated on the first packer 11 and communicated with the sampling space 13. The sampling pipe 22 is penetrated on the first packer 11 and the second packer 12, the first end of the sampling pipe 22 extends from the second packer 12 into the sampling space 13, the second end of the sampling pipe 22 passes through the second packer 12 from bottom to top, and the sampling pipe 22 is provided with a liquid inlet 23 connecting the sampling space 13 and the lower part of the second packer 12. The sampling space 13 formed between the second packer 12, the first packer 11 and the casing 10 can ensure that no pollutants or fluids from external non-target layers will enter the sampling space 13 during the sampling process. The first packer 11 and the second packer 12 play a sealing role. At the same time, the sampling space 13 sealed by the first packer 11 and the second packer 12 is used to store sampled samples, which can greatly increase the sampling volume. It should be noted that the casing 10 in the well refers to the casing 10 in the vertical well.

[0029] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the underground deep formation fluid flows through the first end of the sampling tube 22 through the liquid inlet hole 23 and enters the sampling space 13 to form a sample to be detected and analyzed. The sampling device of this application makes full use of the structure of the casing 10 to form a larger sampling space 13 for storing a large number of sampled samples to meet the subsequent detection and analysis requirements. During sampling, the push tube 21 pushes the sampled sample in the sampling space 13 through the sampling tube 22 through an inert gas (nitrogen or argon) and pushes it to the ground from the second end of the sampling tube 22 for analysis, or when negative pressure sampling is used, the sampled sample passes through the sampling tube 22 and is sucked back to the ground from the first end of the sampling tube 22 to the second end of the sampling tube 22 for analysis. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem in the prior art that the sampling capacity is too small and cannot meet the detection and analysis requirements of a large number of sampled samples.

[0030] It should be noted that the deep underground formation fluid of the present application can be gas or liquid. When the deep underground formation fluid is gas, the sampling sample of the gas in the sampling space 13 can be drawn to the ground through the sampling tube 22 by means of inert gas or negative pressure, so as to facilitate subsequent analysis. When the deep underground formation fluid is liquid, the sampling sample of the liquid in the sampling space 13 can be drawn to the ground through the sampling tube 22 by means of inert gas, so as to facilitate subsequent analysis.

[0031] The implementation effect of this sampling device is remarkable. It can not only accurately collect fluid samples from the carbon dioxide storage layer, but also effectively avoid direct contact between the sample and the well wall or casing, reducing the possibility of sample contamination. In terms of application scenarios, it is widely used in monitoring various geological conditions, including but not limited to environmental comparison studies before and after storage, storage layer stability assessment, carbon dioxide leakage detection, etc., providing researchers with an accurate and reliable source of samples, further supporting the optimization and development of carbon dioxide geological storage technology.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the sampling device also includes a sampling tube 31 connected to the liquid inlet 23. The sampling tube 31 is located below the second packer 12. A one-way valve 32 is provided on the sampling tube 31. The one-way valve 32 allows the sample in the casing 10 to enter the liquid inlet 23 from below the sampling tube 31. The setting of the one-way valve 32 ensures that the sampling process can maintain unidirectionality regardless of how the downhole conditions change. That is, it ensures that the formation fluid can only flow from the deep underground layer to the ground until it flows into the sampling space 13. When sampling with inert gas, the sampled sample passes through the sampling tube 22 and returns to the ground from the first end of the sampling tube 22 to the second end of the sampling tube 22, or when negative pressure sampling is used, the sampled sample passes through the sampling tube 22 and returns to the ground from the first end of the sampling tube 22 to the second end of the sampling tube 22, so as to prevent the sample from flowing back to the formation through the sampling tube 31 and avoid the sample from returning to the ground. The one-way valve 32 is opened and closed by the pressure difference of the formation fluid. When the pressure of the formation fluid is higher than the pressure in the surface pressure sampling tube, the one-way valve opens, allowing the formation fluid to flow from the sampling tube 31 to the sampling tube and then enter the sampling space 13.

[0033] The addition of a one-way valve greatly improves the reliability of the sampling device, which prevents the collected samples from flowing back when the pressure changes, thereby avoiding sample mixing and maintaining the purity of the samples. This design is particularly suitable for long-term monitoring projects, such as continuous tracking of sealing effects and long-term observation of underground fluid dynamics. It not only simplifies the maintenance process, but also improves the consistency and effectiveness of monitoring data, provides more stable data support for researchers and engineers, and reduces the cost and risk of long-term monitoring.

[0034] Specifically, the first packer 11 and the second packer 12 , the push pipe 21 and the sampling pipe 22 are connected together and arrive at the sampling position in the well along with the downhole pipe string.

[0035] The first packer 11 and the second packer 12 of the present embodiment are both downhole packers disclosed in the Chinese patent application with publication number CN113216892A.

[0036] like Figure 1As shown, in order to facilitate the setting of the liquid inlet hole 23, the sampling tube 22 includes a first tube section 221 and a second tube section 222 spaced apart in the horizontal direction, and the sampling tube 22 also includes an intermediate tube section 223 connected between the first tube section 221 and the second tube section 222. The first tube section 221 extends from the second packer 12 into the sampling space 13, the second tube section 222 is passed through the first packer 11 and the second packer 12, and the liquid inlet hole 23 is set on the intermediate tube section 223.

[0037] The segmented design of the sampling tube enables the device to collect samples at different depths, increasing the diversity of samples and improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of sample analysis. In scientific research applications, this device can help researchers understand the fluid changes, chemical reactions and biological activities in the process of carbon dioxide storage in more detail, which is of great significance for in-depth research on the mechanism of carbon dioxide geological storage and the assessment of storage safety and environmental impact. By analyzing these samples, researchers can more scientifically predict the long-term effects of carbon dioxide storage, providing a solid scientific basis for the formulation of storage strategies and environmental policies.

[0038] The sampling tube and the injection tube 31 in this embodiment are both made of stainless steel, which has the characteristics of pressure resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0039] In this embodiment, a plurality of liquid inlets are provided at the lower end of the sampling tube 22. The liquid inlets are notches provided on the end wall of the lower end of the sampling tube 22. The notches are gourd-shaped. On the one hand, they facilitate the deep underground formation fluid to flow into the straight sampling tube. On the other hand, the gourd-shaped notches can block some impurities in the formation fluid, thereby achieving the purpose of filtering.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the first pipe section 221 and the second pipe section 222 are arranged in parallel. In this way, the depth and position of the sampling space 13 can be better controlled, thereby improving the sampling precision and accuracy.

[0041] The parallel or inclined setting of the pipe section greatly enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the sampling device, enabling it to work effectively in complex geological environments such as inclined wells and horizontal wells, and collect more accurate and comprehensive sample data. This design not only meets the conventional vertical well sampling needs, but also breaks through the limitations of traditional sampling technology in inclined wells and horizontal wells, providing strong technical support for the multi-faceted monitoring of geological storage projects. By sampling at different angles and depths, researchers and engineers can have a more comprehensive understanding of the physical and chemical properties of the carbon dioxide storage layer, as well as the impact of the storage process on the surrounding geological environment, providing a key data basis for the continuous optimization and promotion of carbon dioxide geological storage technology.

[0042] Of course, in other embodiments, the first pipe segment 221 and the second pipe segment 222 are arranged obliquely.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, when the first pipe segment 221 and the second pipe segment 222 are arranged in parallel, there is a first distance between the lower end of the first pipe segment 221 and the second packer 12, and there is a second distance between the lower end of the second pipe segment 222 and the second packer 12, and the second distance is less than or equal to the first distance.

[0044] Accurately locating the distance between the first and second pipe sections and the packer is the key to improving sample quality and monitoring efficiency of the sampling device. By controlling the residence time of the sample in the pipeline, physical and chemical changes of the sample due to long-term contact are avoided, ensuring the originality and representativeness of the sample. This precise control is particularly suitable for monitoring projects that require extremely high sample timeliness, such as rapid response carbon dioxide leakage monitoring, immediate response to geological changes, etc., providing researchers with valuable real-time data and improving the accuracy and effectiveness of monitoring work.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to reduce the disturbance to the formation fluid during sampling and avoid affecting the accuracy of detection and analysis, the middle pipe section 223 is U-shaped.

[0046] The U-shaped or spiral intermediate pipe section design promotes the mixing and reaction of different fluids by increasing the contact area and time of the fluids in the pipeline, ensuring the uniformity and representativeness of the samples, which is of great significance for in-depth research on the interaction between carbon dioxide and formation water, and evaluating the chemical stability of the storage layer. By analyzing these mixed samples, researchers can more accurately understand the chemical reaction path in the carbon dioxide storage process, provide scientific reference for optimizing storage conditions and predicting storage effects, and further promote the innovation and application of carbon dioxide geological storage technology.

[0047] In other embodiments, the middle tube section 223 is spiral-shaped.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to detect the pressure in the sampling space 13, a pressure sensor is provided on the second packer 12, and the pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure in the sampling space 13. The sampling device also includes a controller connected to the pressure sensor.

[0049] The integrated pressure sensor and controller realize the intelligent operation of the sampling device, and can automatically adjust the sampling strategy according to the real-time monitored pressure changes to ensure the collection of high-quality samples under safe conditions. This intelligent design is particularly suitable for monitoring projects with complex geological conditions and rapid environmental changes, such as carbon dioxide storage monitoring under high pressure and high temperature environments, and geological change monitoring in areas with frequent seismic activity. Through automated pressure monitoring and sampling control, not only the safety and efficiency of monitoring are improved, but also the errors of human operation are reduced, providing researchers with more accurate and consistent monitoring data, and promoting the intelligent development of geological monitoring technology.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to detect the flow rate in the sampling space 13, a flow sensor is provided on the sampling tube 22. The flow sensor is used to detect the flow rate of the sample in the sampling tube 22. The flow sensor is connected to the controller.

[0051] The addition of the flow sensor enables the sampling device to adjust the sampling rate in real time according to the sample flow conditions, avoiding incomplete or excessive sample collection due to uneven flow rates, and ensuring the representativeness of the sample and the accuracy of monitoring. This design is particularly suitable for monitoring projects that require extremely high sample accuracy, such as precise control of carbon dioxide injection rates, detailed analysis of underground fluid flow patterns, etc. It provides researchers with more accurate sample data, improves the efficiency and quality of monitoring, and provides technical support for the refined management of carbon dioxide geological storage technology.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to detect the temperature in the sampling space 13, a temperature sensor is provided on the first packer 11. The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature in the sampling space 13, and the temperature sensor is connected to the controller.

[0053] The combination of temperature sensor and controller realizes the dynamic monitoring of the thermodynamic environment of the carbon dioxide storage area, and provides key temperature data for storage effect evaluation and geological environment analysis. This design is particularly suitable for monitoring projects that require comprehensive analysis of the geological environment, such as evaluating the thermal stability and thermal effect of the storage layer, monitoring the impact of the storage process on the surrounding geological environment, etc. It provides more comprehensive and in-depth geological information for scientific researchers, helps scientific decision-making and technical optimization, and further improves the safety and environmental benefits of carbon dioxide geological storage.

[0054] like Figure 1As shown, a plurality of guide grooves are arranged on the upper surface of the second packer 12, and the plurality of guide grooves are connected to the first end of the sampling tube 22. The plurality of guide grooves are spirally distributed around the first end of the sampling tube 22. The use of spirally distributed guide grooves can make the sampled sample more uniform in the process of entering the sampling tube, reduce the mixing and contamination in the sampling process, and make it easier for the sampled sample to enter the sampling tube, thereby improving the sampling efficiency. And the width of each guide groove gradually decreases from top to bottom. The gradually decreasing width of each guide groove can increase the stability of the sampling tube, reduce the shaking and vibration in the sampling process, and improve the stability and reliability of the sampling.

[0055] The present application also provides an operating method of a sampling device, which is operated by using the above-mentioned sampling device, and the operating method of the sampling device includes the following steps: placing the sampling device into the deep underground formation fluid, and part of the deep underground formation fluid enters the sampling space 13 of the sampling device to form a sample to be detected and analyzed; using inert gas nitrogen or argon to push the sample in the sampling space 13 into the sampling tube 22 of the sampling device, and then push it to the ground through the sampling tube 22; or, using negative pressure to suck the sample in the sampling space 13 into the sampling tube 22 of the sampling device, and then suck it back to the ground through the sampling tube 22. Since the above-mentioned sampling device can solve the problem in the prior art that the sampling capacity is too small and cannot meet the detection and analysis requirements of a large number of sampled samples, the same technical problem can be solved by using the above-mentioned sampling device and adopting the operating method of the sampling device to operate.

[0056] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. The directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.

[0057] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0058] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
