Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oilfield development equipment technology, and in particular to a permanent downhole passive monitoring and control device and system. Background Technology
[0002] To meet the demands of efficient oilfield development and smart oilfield construction, intelligent monitoring and control technology is widely used in downhole equipment. Cable-based intelligent monitoring and control technology, due to its high reliability and large communication data capacity, is currently widely used in real-time monitoring and control of production wells in domestic oilfields. However, cable-based intelligent monitoring and control technology has unavoidable drawbacks in real-time monitoring and control of production wells: firstly, the cable being tied to the outside of the tubing increases construction complexity and cost; secondly, cable-based intelligent monitoring and control technology requires the production tubing string to be continuous, making it unsuitable for segmented tubing strings. To overcome these shortcomings, engineers have applied wireless power supply and communication technology to real-time downhole monitoring and control of production wells, solving both the power supply and data communication needs for the normal operation of downhole intelligent equipment.

The specific implementation steps are as follows: This method utilizes the principle of wireless power transmission and includes a charging system comprising: a ground-based power supply, an energy conversion module, a power transmitter, a power receiver and rectifier, a charging control circuit, and a rechargeable battery plus a supercapacitor. This invention not only solves the problem of significantly increased costs due to the presence of cables in cable-based intelligent water distribution and injection processes, but also overcomes the disadvantage of insufficient battery power in cableless processes. Furthermore, it is simpler, easier to operate, and saves time and effort compared to existing mechanical transmission valve control methods. The introduction of supercapacitors also enables this technology to be used for rapid charging in short periods. This invention has a reasonable design, simple structure, convenient operation, and stable and reliable performance. Applying this method can greatly improve work efficiency, with very significant application effects and a very broad prospect for application in oilfields.

[0042] A permanent downhole passive monitoring and control system comprises three parts: a surface control cabinet, a downhole monitoring and control instrument, and a permanent downhole passive monitoring and control device. For example... Figure 1 The diagram shows the tubing structure of a permanent downhole passive monitoring and control system. This system includes: a control cabinet 1, a cable 2, a downhole monitoring and control instrument 3, a suspended packer 4, a layered packer 5, a permanent downhole passive monitoring and control device 6, a permanent downhole passive monitoring and control device 7, tubing 8, and casing 9. The control cabinet 1 and the downhole monitoring and control instrument 3 are connected via the cable 2, enabling bidirectional communication and power supply from the control cabinet 1 to the instrument 3. The suspended packer 4, the permanent downhole passive monitoring and control device 6, the layered packer 5, and the permanent downhole passive monitoring and control device 7 are connected from top to bottom via tubing, with the bottom of the tubing sealed. The suspended packer 4 primarily bears the weight of the entire tubing string. The layered packer 5 separates the two production layers, preventing fluid exchange between them. The function of the permanent downhole passive monitoring and control devices 6 and 7 is to open, close or adjust the opening degree of the liquid communication channel between the production layer and the production tubing.
[0043] The working principle of this permanent downhole passive monitoring and control system is introduced in three parts: two-way communication, one-way power supply, and two-way fluid flow.
[0044] The working principle of the two-way communication section is as follows: communication from the wellhead to the well bottom, the ground control cabinet 1 transmits the communication signal to the downhole monitoring and control instrument 3 through the cable 2. The wired communication module c8 in the downhole monitoring and control instrument 3 converts the signal into a signal recognizable by the second main control module c6. After analysis, the second main control module c6 sends the communication signal to the wireless communication module c4, which then sends the communication signal to the second wireless communication coil c2. The signal is then transmitted to the space within the wellbore via electromagnetic waves. In the permanent downhole passive monitoring and control device, the wireless communication coil a6 receives the electromagnetic waves and transmits them to the communication module a4, which in turn transmits them to the main control module a3. After analyzing the commands, the main control module a3 issues corresponding commands to the motor module a2. For communication from downhole to wellhead, the motor monitoring circuit in the motor module a2 transmits the motor status signal to the main control module a3. Then, the communication module a4, wireless communication coil a6, second wireless communication coil c2, wireless communication module c4, second main control module c6, wired communication module c8, cable 2, and control cabinet 1 are connected. The sensor module c5 in the downhole monitoring and control instrument 2 can contain various sensors, including but not limited to temperature, pressure, flow, and water content sensors. Sensor module c5 can transmit the tested sensor signals to the ground control cabinet along the direction of the second main control module c6, the wired communication module c8, cable 2, and control cabinet 1.
[0045] Power supply working principle: Control cabinet 1 transmits electrical energy to power module c7 in downhole monitoring and control instrument 3 via cable 2. After voltage transformation, power module c7 supplies power to the second power supply module c3, wireless communication module c4, sensor module c5, second main control module c6, power module c7, and wired communication module c8. The second power supply module c3 performs high-frequency inversion and resonance compensation on the current and then couples it to the second wireless power supply coil c1, transmitting it to the space in the wellbore. After receiving the wireless power signal, the wireless power supply coil a5 in the permanent downhole passive monitoring and control device transmits it to power module a1. Power module a1, after voltage transformation, supplies power to motor module a2, main control module a3, and communication module a4.
[0046] Fluid flow process: For self-flowing oil wells, the fluid from the lower production layer flows from the formation into the annular space d1 surrounded by casing 9, packer 5, tubing 8, and permanent downhole passive monitoring and control device 7. When the motor module a2 on the permanent downhole passive monitoring and control device 7 moves, the second channel b4 connects with the first channel b3, and the flow channel b2 connects with the annular space d1. The fluid from the upper production layer flows from the formation into the annular space d2 surrounded by suspended packer 4, tubing 8, permanent downhole passive monitoring and control device 6, and casing 9. When the motor module a2 on the permanent downhole passive monitoring and control device 6 moves, the second channel b4 connects with the first channel b3, and the flow channel b2 connects with the annular space d2. Formation fluid flows into the tubing and flows upward out of the wellhead. For water injection wells, the fluid flows in the opposite direction.

The wired communication module c8 in the downhole monitoring and control instrument 3 converts the signal into a signal recognizable by the second main control module c6. After analysis, the second main control module c6 sends the communication signal to the wireless communication module c4, which in turn sends the signal to the second wireless communication coil c2. Then, the signal is transmitted to the space in the wellbore via electromagnetic waves. In the permanent downhole passive monitoring and control device, the wireless communication coil a6 receives the electromagnetic waves and transmits them to the communication module a4, which then transmits them to the main control module a3. After analyzing the commands, the main control module a3 issues corresponding commands to the motor module a2. For communication from downhole to wellhead, the motor monitoring circuit in the motor module a2 transmits the motor status signal to the main control module a3. Then, the communication module a4, wireless communication coil a6, second wireless communication coil c2, wireless communication module c4, second main control module c6, wired communication module c8, cable 2, and control cabinet 1 are connected. The sensor module c5 in the downhole monitoring and control instrument 2 can contain various sensors, including but not limited to temperature, pressure, flow, and water content sensors.
