Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of oil extraction, and in particular to an improved method based on cabled stratified water injection technology, in particular to a solution for power transmission and two-way communication through an innovative intermediate structure, thereby optimizing the problems of cable fragility and high cost in the prior art. Background Art

[0002] Existing oilfield stratified water injection technology usually relies on cables for power transmission and downhole equipment communication. However, the existing cable stratified water injection technology faces some prominent problems, especially the cables are easily damaged under long-term high pressure and high temperature environment, and the frequent replacement leads to high maintenance costs. At the same time, the traditional power supply and communication methods have the disadvantages of occupying too much space and complicated operation. As the depth and complexity of oilfield operations increase, the shortcomings of existing technologies become more and more apparent. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems of the existing cable water injection technology and provide an improved stratified water injection scheme. The core technology is to invent an intermediate structure, which can effectively connect the packer with the existing cable water distributor and has the following two core functions: captures electrical energy and transmits it to water distributors; Realize two-way communication with the underground and forward the communication information to the water distributor.

[0004] The intermediate structure of the present invention solves the problems of power transmission and communication by combining an inverted T-shaped squirrel cage structure with an eccentric triangular slider, while avoiding the fragility and complex operation of traditional cables, thereby improving operational safety and economy. Technical Solution

[0005] In order to explain the present invention more clearly, specific implementation methods thereof are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0006] Step 1: Design of intermediate structure The intermediate structure is made of conductive metal material and has an inverted T-shaped squirrel cage structure inside. The structure is assembled with the inner wall of the steel pipe through an insulating layer, and the current is guided from the structure to the control board through conductive screws. The steel pipe itself serves as the negative pole of the power supply, and the inverted T-shaped structure serves as the positive pole of the power supply. Its core working principle is to use the inverted T-shaped structure to obtain electrical energy and realize two-way communication.

[0007] Step 2: Power acquisition and supply The inverted T-shaped metal cage on the inner wall of the structure is in contact with the power supply and is fixed to the inner wall of the steel pipe through an insulating layer, maintaining a 2cm gap as an insulating layer to ensure the safe transmission of current. When the triangular slider contacts the cage structure, the current is transmitted to the underground equipment to complete the power supply.

[0008] Step 3: Two-way communication implementation Through the communication module in the structure, the signal can be fed back to the ground operating system through the current to complete two-way communication. During the communication process, the ground operating system can receive real-time information about the downhole equipment and perform accurate operation control.

[0009] Step 4: Easy operation The operator guides the triangular slider into the inverted T-shaped channel and uses the contact between the squirrel cage structure and the triangular slider to achieve power transmission. When the triangular slider is pulled into the inverted T-shaped structure, the operator can know the position by feel and further confirm whether the communication and power supply are normal. The wellhead controls the deployment and release of the triangular slider through steel wire.

[0010] Step 5 Technical Advantages The technology of the present invention has the following advantages: Easy operation: No need to change existing operating habits, equipment connection and power supply can be completed through simple manual operation.

[0011] Space optimization: Make full use of the inner wall space of the well pipe to avoid the problem of traditional cables taking up too much space.

[0012] Cost reduction: Maintenance costs are greatly reduced by reducing cable usage and repair frequency.

[0013] Strong adaptability: It is suitable for a variety of oilfield operating environments and does not need to worry about equipment interference or damage during other technical operations (such as well logging). BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the intermediate structure.

[0015] Figure 2 Contact principle of the inverted T-shaped squirrel cage structure and the triangular slider.

[0016] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the overall workflow. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] Referring to FIG1 , the specific implementation of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0018] Assemble the intermediate structure, ensure that the inverted T-shaped squirrel cage structure is correctly installed on the inner wall of the steel pipe, and connect it with insulating screws. The upper end of the structure is connected to the packer, and the lower end is connected to the cable water distributor.

[0019] Power is supplied to the triangular slider in the inverted T-shaped structure through the wellhead control system. The slider is pulled by a steel wire and enters the inverted T-shaped structure to complete the power connection.

[0020] When the slider enters the inverted T-shaped structure, the communication system and the downhole equipment complete two-way information transmission to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

[0021] The operator confirms that the slider is in place and the equipment installation is complete based on the feel and wellhead information feedback. At this time, the wellhead system can read the communication information of the equipment and monitor it.

[0022] The present invention solves the problems of high cable loss and space occupation in oil field operations through mechanical structure innovation and optimization of power and communication. The new intermediate structure effectively realizes power supply and two-way communication, while reducing interference with traditional operating methods. The technology of the present invention can significantly improve the stability and economy of oil field stratified water injection technology.
