Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gravity heat pipe heat extraction testing, and in particular to a gravity heat pipe heat extraction testing device and method based on heat exchange between a wellbore and a heat storage. Background Art
[0002] In view of the high difficulty of reinjection, fluid leakage, pipeline corrosion and other problems in open-cycle geothermal systems, closed-cycle geothermal systems are increasingly valued by oil and gas development companies. Using existing abandoned or low-yield wells and high-temperature abandoned oil and gas reservoirs to extract geothermal energy and provide heating for surrounding mining areas or residential areas can effectively realize the effective utilization of abandoned well resources in oil fields. Common closed-cycle geothermal systems include: single-well coaxial heat extraction, U-shaped well heat extraction and gravity heat pipe heat extraction. Compared with other closed-cycle heat extraction methods, the gravity heat pipe geothermal system can achieve heat transfer from the bottom of the well to the wellhead without the need for pump work. It can be seen that this heat extraction scheme is of great significance for low-carbon energy supply in mining areas.
[0003] However, in the existing closed-cycle heat extraction field experiments (including), there is a problem of rapid temperature decay of the produced fluid. For gravity heat pipe heat extraction, due to its higher heat extraction efficiency, the temperature decay will be more serious. At the same time, for common closed-cycle heat extraction methods, including single-well coaxial heat exchange, U-shaped butt-joint well heat extraction, and gravity heat pipe heat extraction, the reservoir temperature reduction rate corresponding to different heat extraction methods is still unclear. Analysis of the reasons shows that after a period of development, the reservoir temperature field is difficult to recover after the heat around the wellbore is extracted. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the change law of reservoir temperature during closed-cycle heat extraction and the heat transfer law between reservoir-wellbore-wellbore fluid for gravity heat pipe geothermal systems with high heat extraction efficiency. On this basis, the optimal development plan for gravity heat pipe geothermal systems is further given, including: heat pipe diameter, heat pipe evaporation section length, heat pipe condensation section length, heat exchange medium, start-stop system, etc. At present, there is still no report on the coordinated analysis of closed heat extraction wellbore and formation temperature changes. In addition, there are currently no indoor experiments to compare and analyze the heat extraction performance and influencing factors of the closed heat extraction (heat-carrying fluid circulates in the wellbore and does not flow out of the heat pipe) and open heat extraction (heat-carrying fluid flows out of the heat pipe in gaseous form) methods that exist when using gravity heat pipes to extract geothermal energy.
[0004] In the Chinese patent application with application number: CN201310213879.3, a controllable gravity heat pipe heat transfer efficiency test device is involved, and its structural features are that the upper and lower temperature control barrels are respectively connected to the cold bath, and the condensation section and evaporation section of the gravity heat pipe are independently controlled; the inclination angle of the gravity heat pipe is accurately controlled by the support, brake hand winch, lifting frame, steel strand and inclinometer of the device; temperature sensors are set on the surface of the gravity heat pipe in the upper and lower temperature control barrels and in the cold bath liquid, and heat flow sensors are arranged on the surface of the gravity heat pipe; the test data of the temperature sensor and the heat flow sensor are automatically collected by the data acquisition device and the computer. The invention can freely adjust the inclination angle of the gravity heat pipe within the range of 0° to 90°, thereby realizing the accurate test of the heat transfer efficiency of the gravity heat pipe at different inclination angles, and providing the experimental basis and technical parameters for giving full play to the engineering efficiency of the gravity heat pipe.

The invention has the advantages of intuitive observation and uniform heating.
[0006] In the Chinese patent application with application number: CN202010877586.5, an "endoscopic" heat pipe visualization device and a test method are involved. The "endoscopic" heat pipe visualization device includes an "endoscopic" heat pipe (A1 or A2), a cooling system (B), a shooting system (C) and a heating system (D). The "endoscopic" heat pipe (A1 or A2) is composed of a heat pipe main body (3A1 or 3A2), a transparent glass tube (4) and a working fluid (11), and is sealed by a first Kovar alloy ring (2) and a second Kovar alloy ring (5), an expansion joint (6), a first end cap (1) and a second end cap (7); the transparent glass tube (4) is placed inside the heat pipe main body (3A1 or 3A2), and an endoscope (22) is connected to a high-speed camera (20) and extends into the transparent glass tube (4) to photograph the phase change and two-phase flow pattern of the working fluid (11) inside the heat pipe main body (3A1 or 3A2); the device and method constructed by the invention are suitable for revealing the phase change heat and mass transfer mechanism of the working fluid inside the heat pipe under the metal wall surface, and the test process is closer to the actual working conditions, thereby improving the reliability of the test results.

During the open cycle heat extraction process of the gravity heat pipe, the top of the condensation section is open, and a heat-carrying medium is injected into the heat extraction section through a fluid injection port reserved at the top of the gravity heat pipe heat extraction section. The heat-carrying medium changes into a gas state after a phase change in the heat extraction section, and flows out from the wellhead under the action of the expansion driving force generated by the phase change. The output gaseous medium is recorded by a temperature sensor and a gas flow meter to record its output temperature and flow rate. During the open cycle heat extraction process of the gravity heat pipe, no coolant is introduced into the condensation heat exchange pipeline wound outside the condensation section;
