Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of oil and gas production, and in particular to a method for determining the water content and oil-gas ratio of a three-phase system. Background Art
[0002] In the process of reservoir development and oil production, the complex phenomenon of the simultaneous existence of three-phase fluids of oil, gas and water often occurs in the wellbore and the ground, and there is also the problem of emulsification or partial emulsification between oil and water.
[0003] At present, the ground separator or test manifold will separate the produced fluid into gas phase and liquid phase (oil + water) for separate measurement. The gas phase is mostly measured by volume or flow meter combined with density conversion to obtain gas production. The liquid phase is generally estimated by online moisture meter or offline sampling and testing to estimate the water cut (Water Cut), and then the volume or flow is added to deduce the production of oil and water. However, when the oil-water ratio or properties of the liquid phase are complex, and there is dissolved gas or free gas, the measurement error of this method is high; and the volume after oil and water emulsification is not a simple linear addition, which is bound to cause calculation errors caused by incomplete oil and water phase separation and delayed phase separation.
[0004] Oil-water emulsification is a multiphase microscopic dispersion phenomenon caused by factors such as colloidal asphaltene in the oil, natural surfactants or added chemicals, and shear force in the pipeline. When part of the water is wrapped in crude oil to form an emulsion, the molecular structure and interaction will cause the actual volume to expand or shrink. In engineering calculations or daily measurement, in order to simplify the calculation of the emulsified state, it is generally assumed that there is no emulsification (the oil volume and the water volume are regarded as directly added), or it is assumed that it is completely emulsified (all water is emulsified by the oil). In the case of "partial emulsification" or "staged emulsification" (only part of the water is wrapped by the oil), the water content and oil-gas ratio cannot be accurately determined.
[0005] With regard to the technical problem of how to accurately determine the water content and oil-gas ratio when three-phase fluid is partially emulsified, no effective solution has been proposed so far. Summary of the invention

[0052] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0053] It should also be noted that in the embodiments of this specification, certain software, components, models and other existing solutions in the industry may be mentioned. They should be regarded as exemplary. Their purpose is only to illustrate the feasibility of implementing the technical solution of this application, but it does not mean that the applicant has or will necessarily use the solution.
[0054] Considering the simultaneous existence of three-phase fluids of oil, gas and water, when the gas phase production is relatively large, if the oil-water distribution is estimated based only on the liquid mass, there will be a large deviation. For example, for some heavy oil wells, the gas specific gravity is high. If the gas mass is ignored, the mass of the liquid phase will be overestimated, which will affect the accuracy of the water content and the gas-oil ratio (GOR). Through the separator parameters and the empirical curve, only volume separation can be done. For example, the gas phase volume is calculated by the separator gas production, and then the remaining mass is regarded as the liquid phase. This method has poor accuracy in the case of severe emulsification. In addition, the conversion of dissolved gas in the oil phase into free gas will also cause inaccurate estimation of the oil phase volume. That is, the existing GOR calculation is generally obtained by assuming that the oil volume is known, but when the oil-water ratio in the liquid phase is unclear or part of the water is emulsified by oil, the oil volume cannot be accurately obtained. If the emulsification or the influence of free gas is ignored, the GOR result will deviate from the actual situation.
[0055] Furthermore, the existing water content calculation method only focuses on the oil-water two-phase (ignoring the gas phase) or only considers the gas phase as a volume deduction, and does not take into account the correction caused by the gas mass. That is, in the existing measurement process, only the presence or absence of emulsification is distinguished, without considering key parameters such as how much water is emulsified and the volume deviation after emulsification, resulting in low accuracy of the calculation results of water content and GOR.
[0056] To this end, a three-phase model is provided in this example that can fully consider the effect of the gas phase on the total mass and can finely distinguish between partial water emulsification and free water stratification. By introducing the emulsification rate (i.e., the proportion of water emulsified) and the emulsification volume coefficient (i.e., quantifying the effect of emulsification expansion or contraction) in the liquid phase, combined with the mass and volume conservation equations, the ratio of the oil and water phases can be obtained. Then, based on this, on the one hand, the water content can be calculated synchronously, and on the other hand, the gas-oil ratio (GOR) can be obtained through the oil phase volume, thereby achieving one-stop, accurate three-phase metering.
[0057] That is, in response to the existing problem of low accuracy in calculating water cut and oil-gas ratio in complex three-phase fluid scenarios, especially when there is an obvious emulsification effect, this example proposes a solution to simultaneously calculate water cut and oil-gas ratio on the premise of known total volume, gas phase information, emulsification rate, and emulsification volume coefficient. This method can accurately determine the water cut and oil-gas ratio, thereby making the measurement and reservoir analysis of the three-phase system more accurate and scientific.
[0058] Figure 1 It is a method flow chart of an embodiment of the method for determining the water content and oil-gas ratio of a three-phase system provided by the present application. Although the present application provides method operation steps or device structures as shown in the following embodiments or drawings, more or fewer operation steps or module units may be included in the method or device based on routine or no creative labor. In the steps or structures where there is no necessary causal relationship logically, the execution order of these steps or the module structure of the device is not limited to the execution order or module structure described in the embodiments of the present application and shown in the drawings. When the method or module structure is applied to an actual device or terminal product, it can be connected according to the method or module structure shown in the embodiments or drawings for sequential execution or parallel execution (for example, a parallel processor or a multi-threaded processing environment, or even a distributed processing environment).
[0059] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the above method for determining the water content and oil-gas ratio of the three-phase system may include the following steps:
[0060] Step 101: Collecting the total mass, total volume and gas volume of the fluid produced at the wellhead of the target oil well within a preset monitoring period, wherein the produced fluid is in a three-phase mixed state of oil, water and gas;
[0061] Step 102: Obtaining the emulsification rate, emulsification volume coefficient, oil density, water density and gas density of the fluid;
[0062] Step 103: Determine the liquid phase mass and liquid phase volume of the fluid according to the total mass, total volume, gas volume and gas density of the fluid;
[0063] Step 104: Calculate the oil mass fraction in the liquid phase of the fluid according to the liquid phase mass, liquid phase volume, emulsification rate, emulsification volume coefficient, oil density and water density of the fluid;
[0064] Specifically, the liquid phase mass and liquid phase volume can be determined based on the total mass, total volume, gas volume and gas density of the fluid. Then, the liquid phase mass can be determined based on the total mass, gas volume and gas density of the fluid according to the following formula:
[0065] M l =M total -ρ g v g
[0066] Among them, M l Indicates the mass of the liquid phase, M total represents the total mass, v g represents the gas volume, ρ g Indicates gas density;
[0067] Then, based on the total volume and gas volume, the liquid volume is determined according to the following formula:
[0068] V l =V total -v g
[0069] Among them, V l Represents the volume of the liquid phase, V total Indicates the total volume;
[0070] Furthermore, the oil mass fraction in the liquid phase of the fluid is calculated based on the liquid phase mass, liquid phase volume, emulsification rate, emulsification volume coefficient, oil density and water density of the fluid.
[0071] For the oil mass fraction, two calculation methods are given in this example:
[0072] Method 1: Calculate the oil mass fraction in the liquid phase of the fluid according to the following formula:
[0073]
[0074] Among them, α represents the oil mass fraction, r represents the emulsification rate, δ represents the emulsification volume coefficient, and M l represents the mass of the liquid phase, ρ wrepresents the water density, ρ o Indicates oil density, V l Represents the volume of the liquid phase.
[0075] Method 2: Introduce the "oil emulsification rate s", where s represents the proportion of the oil phase that can be emulsified, and then calculate the oil mass fraction in the liquid phase of the fluid according to the following formula:
[0076]
[0077] Among them, α represents the oil mass fraction, r represents the emulsification rate, δ represents the emulsification volume coefficient, and M l represents the mass of the liquid phase, ρ w represents the water density, ρ o Indicates oil density, V l represents the volume of the liquid phase, and s represents the proportion of the oil phase that can be emulsified.
[0078] Step 105: Determine the water content and oil-gas ratio of the fluid according to the mass fraction of oil in the liquid phase of the fluid.
[0079] When implementing, the water content of the fluid can be determined from the mass ratio dimension or the volume ratio dimension:
[0080] For example, the oil-gas ratio in the mass ratio dimension is determined according to the following formula:
[0081]
[0082] Where GOR represents the gas-oil ratio, v g represents the gas volume, ρ w represents the water density, ρ o Indicates oil density, M total Indicates the total mass.
[0083] For example, the oil-gas ratio in the volume ratio dimension is determined as follows:
[0084] The gas volume is converted into the standard volume under standard temperature and pressure. Based on the standard volume, the oil-gas ratio under standard working conditions is calculated according to the following formula:
[0085]
[0086] in, Indicates the standard volume at standard temperature and pressure, V o Represents the volume of the oil phase.
[0087] The water content can be calculated according to the mass fraction of oil in the liquid phase of the fluid using the following formula:
[0088]
[0089] Among them, f w represents water content, α represents oil mass fraction, ρ w represents the water density, ρ o Indicates oil density.
[0090] That is, the total mass, total volume and gas volume of the fluid produced at the wellhead of the target oil well within the preset monitoring period, as well as the emulsification rate, emulsification volume coefficient, oil density, water density and gas density of the obtained fluid, are combined to calculate the oil mass fraction in the liquid phase of the fluid, thereby further determining the water content and oil-gas ratio of the fluid. That is, the emulsification rate and emulsification volume coefficient of the fluid are introduced to calculate the water content and oil-gas ratio, thereby solving the technical problem of low accuracy of the existing water content and oil-gas ratio calculation, and achieving the technical effect of efficiently and accurately determining the water content and oil-gas ratio.
[0091] When implemented, the emulsification rate, emulsification volume coefficient, oil density, water density and gas density of the fluid can be determined through external experiments or environmental simulations. Specifically, the emulsification rate, emulsification volume coefficient, oil density, water density and gas density of the target oil well at different temperatures and pressures can be recorded. Then, when used in actual calculations, the temperature and pressure of the wellhead of the target oil well within a preset monitoring period can be collected; a pre-established data comparison table is retrieved, wherein the data comparison table records the emulsification rate, emulsification volume coefficient, oil density, water density and gas density corresponding to the fluid of the target oil well at different temperatures and pressures determined by external experiments; according to the temperature and pressure, the emulsification rate, emulsification volume coefficient, oil density, water density and gas density corresponding to the temperature and pressure are found from the data comparison table; the found emulsification rate, emulsification volume coefficient, oil density, water density and gas density are used as the emulsification rate, emulsification volume coefficient, oil density, water density and gas density of the fluid.
[0092] Furthermore, the water content and oil-gas ratio of the fluid can be determined according to the oil mass fraction in the liquid phase of the fluid in the above manner. After the water content and oil-gas ratio of the fluid are determined, the pressure required for the separator and the injection amount of the emulsifier can be determined according to the water content and the oil-gas ratio. Then, according to the determined pressure required for the separator, the pressure of the separator is adjusted; and the emulsifier is injected according to the determined injection amount of the emulsifier.
[0093] Based on the above-mentioned method for determining the water content and oil-gas ratio of the three-phase system, in this example, a three-phase fluid processing system applied to an oil well site is also provided, comprising:
[0094] 1) Sensor equipment, installed at the wellhead of the target oil well or the entrance and exit of each stage of separator, used to measure in real time the temperature, pressure, total mass, total volume and gas volume of the fluid produced at the wellhead of the target oil well or each stage of separator within a preset monitoring period;
[0095] 2) a memory for storing a pre-established data comparison table, wherein the data comparison table records the emulsification rate, emulsification volume coefficient, oil density, water density and gas density corresponding to the fluid of the target oil well at different temperatures and pressures determined by external experiments;
[0096] 3) a control processor is configured to obtain temperature, pressure, total mass, total volume and gas volume from the sensor device, and obtain the emulsification rate, emulsification volume coefficient, oil density, water density and gas density corresponding to the fluid at the collected temperature and pressure according to the temperature and pressure, calculate the oil mass fraction in the liquid phase of the fluid according to the total mass, total volume, gas volume, gas density, oil density, water density, emulsification rate and emulsification volume coefficient of the fluid, and calculate and output the water content and oil-gas ratio of the fluid according to the oil mass fraction in the liquid phase of the fluid;
[0097] 4) Visual human-computer interaction equipment, used to display the water content and oil-gas ratio of the determined fluid in real time through the operation terminal at the oil well site or the remote central control room interface.
[0098] Specifically, the sensor device may include: a temperature detector for collecting real-time temperature; a pressure detector for collecting real-time pressure. That is, temperature data and pressure data can be obtained through the sensor device.
[0099] Furthermore, the sensor device may also include: a storage tank, which is arranged at the wellhead of the target oil well or the entrance and exit of each stage of the separator; a weight sensor, which is arranged below the storage tank and is used to detect weight data; a cursor, which is arranged in the storage tank and is used to sense the height of water, oil, and gas in the storage tank to determine the total mass, total volume, and gas volume of the collected fluid. That is, by arranging a weight sensor for weighing below the storage tank and arranging a cursor in the storage tank, the height of each fluid in the tank can be obtained to determine the volume of each fluid.
[0100] After the weight, temperature, pressure, volume and other data are obtained through the sensor equipment, they are transmitted to the control processor, which can directly obtain the water content and oil-gas ratio. That is, in actual field use, it is only necessary to set up a storage tank at the oil outlet, and then measure the height, temperature, pressure, mass and other data to obtain the oil-gas ratio and water content.
[0101] In order to obtain the emulsification rate and emulsification volume coefficient, a stirring shear test device can be set in the three-phase fluid processing system used in the oil well site, and the stirring shear test device is set in the bypass pipeline to simulate the actual working conditions by changing the shear strength and temperature, and determine the actual expansion ratio or contraction ratio of the fluid volume to determine the emulsification rate and emulsification volume coefficient of the fluid, and store them in the memory. The emulsification rate and emulsification volume coefficient can be curve change values set according to the corresponding pressure and temperature.
[0102] In order to control the actual working conditions, the above three-phase fluid processing system applied to the oil well site may also include: a central control device for adjusting the pressure of the separator and the injection amount of the demulsifier according to the water content and the oil-gas ratio.
[0103] The above method is described below in conjunction with a specific embodiment. However, it should be noted that this specific embodiment is only for better illustrating the present application and does not constitute an improper limitation on the present application.
[0104] Most of the existing methods use a step-by-step approach to determine the water cut and GOR, which requires separate measurements of oil-water and oil-gas separation, resulting in increased equipment and operating costs, as well as the problem of low accuracy of the determined water cut and GOR due to the lack of consideration of the emulsification situation when determining the water cut and GOR. In this case, for the oil-water-gas three-phase mixed fluid commonly found in oilfield well sites and ground gathering and transportation environments, a digital water cut and oil-gas ratio synchronous calculation method and system that takes into account both gas phase mass correction and partial emulsification effect of oil and water is provided. On the basis of conventional three-phase separation and measurement, "gas volume" and "gas density" are introduced to accurately deduct the gas phase mass. Furthermore, "emulsification rate" and "emulsification volume coefficient" are used to quantitatively characterize the volume deviation and dispersion ratio of emulsified water, thereby achieving the following goals:
[0105] 1) Accurately deduct the influence of the gas phase to avoid miscalculating the gas phase mass into the liquid phase under conditions of high gas-oil ratio or significant dissolved gas content, and reduce the calculation errors of water content and oil-gas ratio caused by changes in gas density or measurement deviations.
[0106] 2) Flexible handling of partial emulsification phenomenon, by setting the emulsification rate r and the emulsification volume coefficient δ, distinguishing between "free water" and "emulsified water wrapped in oil", to overcome the technical problem of inaccurate prediction results caused by the existing assumption of no emulsification or full emulsification. Furthermore, in this case, the water cut and the gas-oil ratio are obtained simultaneously, that is, the water content (Water Cut) in the liquid phase and the volume ratio (GOR) of the gas phase to the oil phase can be obtained at the same time through one calculation, which is helpful to improve the separator design, production measurement and dynamic analysis of the reservoir, and reduce the trouble caused by the existing need for multiple equipment or segmented manual operation;
[0107] 3) Digitalization and onlineization. In this case, the formulas and logic processes are embedded in the real-time data acquisition and transmission network of the well site or ground metering system, and the embedded computing unit or host computer software is used to automatically solve the oil-water distribution, water content and oil-gas ratio, supporting data storage, visualization and remote monitoring, so as to meet the needs of digital and automated management of modern oil fields. The above methods can more comprehensively adapt to various field conditions with high water content, high viscosity, complex emulsification and significant gas phase influence, and provide a simple-to-operate and reliable metering method and its supporting system for oil field production, output fluid metering, separator optimization and reservoir evaluation.
[0108] Specifically, in this example, a three-phase system measurement method is provided that takes partial emulsification into consideration and can simultaneously calculate the water content and the oil-gas ratio, including:
[0109] S1: Measure or obtain the total mass M of the oil-water-gas three-phase system total , total volume V total 、Gas volume v g and gas density ρ g , calculate the liquid mass M l =M total -ρ g v g and liquid volume V l =V total -v g ;
[0110] S2: Determine the emulsification rate r and the emulsification volume coefficient δ;
[0111] S3: Determine the oil density ρ o and water density ρ w ;
[0112] S4: Calculate the oil mass fraction α in the liquid phase according to the following volume equation:
[0113]
[0114] Wherein, r represents the emulsification rate and δ represents the emulsification volume coefficient.
[0115] S5: After the oil mass fraction α is calculated, the water content is calculated according to the following formula:
[0116]
[0117] The oil-gas ratio is calculated according to the following formula:
[0118]
[0119] Among them, in the above step S2, the emulsification rate r and the emulsification volume coefficient δ can be determined in the following manner: Place the oil-water mixture to be measured (i.e., the sample) in an adjustable-speed stirring or shearing device, and then simulate the actual reservoir environment by adjusting the stirring time, temperature, and shearing strength, and further measure the actual volume and phase separation of the reservoir system after emulsification, so as to obtain the emulsification rate r and the emulsification volume coefficient δ.
[0120] Among them, in the above step S2, the emulsification rate r and the emulsification volume coefficient δ can also be determined in the following manner: Use an online sensor to monitor the volume change of the liquid after mixing in real time, determine the emulsification volume coefficient δ according to the volume change of the liquid after mixing, and further, combine the phase separation sampling to measure the free water ratio, and determine the emulsification rate r according to the free water ratio.
[0121] In the above step S3, the oil density ρ can be determined in the following manner o and the water density ρ w ; Simulate the system, temperature, and pressure conditions of the reservoir, and then measure the oil density ρ o and the water density ρ w through a laboratory densitometer or an online density measuring instrument. If the temperature and pressure of the produced fluid change, then perform corresponding conversions on the oil density ρ o and the water density ρ w according to the known PVT law to ensure that they are in the same working condition as parameters such as the gas density ρ g .
[0122] In this example, considering the need to adapt to different gas states, the calculation of the gas-oil ratio (GOR) has been extended. When it is necessary to define the GOR under standard working conditions, the V g measured on site can be first converted to under standard temperature and pressure. Then, substitute it into the following formula to obtain the GOR under standard working conditions, that is, GOR std :
[0123]
[0124] Furthermore, for the case where part of the gas is dissolved in the oil phase, after deducting the dissolved gas volume, the free gas V g can be re-determined, and then the GOR can be calculated according to the re-determined v g , so that the calculation result is more in line with the actual situation of the on-site separator or the process flow.
[0125] Considering that different emulsification situations have different impacts on the results, in order to adapt to more scenario requirements, in this example, in addition to introducing α, the "oil emulsification rate s" is also introduced for the volume conservation equation, where s represents the proportion of the oil phase that can be emulsified. Based on this, the volume conservation equation is expanded to:
[0126]
[0127] Through this multi-parameter coupling solution, the results can meet more complex emulsification scenarios. Similarly, after determining α, the water content f can be calculated in the above way. w with GOR.
[0128] The above moisture content f w GOR can be used in the automatic metering system on the oil field site by measuring ρ g 、v g 、M total 、V total , o , w , δ, r and other parameters are input into the embedded computing unit, and α is obtained in real time. Then, the moisture content f is calculated and output. w and GOR; when detected Or if the value of α is too large or too small, the system will automatically alarm or trigger data correction.
[0129] Specifically, the above method can be linked with the operating status of the demulsification equipment or the multi-stage separator, and the moisture content f calculated in real time can be used to calculate the moisture content f. w and GOR, automatically adjusting the separator pressure or emulsifier injection volume to optimize separation efficiency. For situations with ultra-high water content or high gas-oil ratio, early warnings can be issued and corresponding process adjustments can be made to improve the separation effect of oil-water and gas-liquid.
[0130] In this example, an oil-water-gas three-phase fluid metering device is also provided, comprising: a gas phase measurement unit, a liquid phase quality detection unit and a calculation control unit connected in sequence, wherein the gas phase measurement unit is used to obtain the gas volume v g and density ρ g And transmit it to the calculation control unit; the liquid mass detection unit is used to combine the total mass of the system to generate the liquid mass M l And provide ρ o , w , δ, r and other parameters; a calculation control unit, used to calculate and output the water content and oil-gas ratio according to the above parameters, and display or transmit the results to the upper system; when the calculation result shows that the oil mass fraction α exceeds the allowable range or the system detects abnormal parameters, it triggers an automatic alarm or adjusts the operating conditions of the separator.
[0131] In this example, a digital system is also provided, including: a data acquisition module, a communication interface and real-time data transmission module, an operation and logic processing module, a database / storage module, and a visualization / human-computer interaction module. Among them, the data acquisition module is used to obtain data such as the total mass, gas volume, gas density, oil-water density, emulsification rate, and emulsification volume coefficient of the three-phase system from the oil field site, separator control system, or downhole / wellhead sensor network; the communication interface and real-time data transmission module supports wired or wireless communication methods. Specifically, it can include, but is not limited to, Ethernet, 5G / 4G, industrial bus protocol, or satellite link, etc., for continuously and real-time collecting data from sensors or downhole data and transmitting the collected data to the operation and logic processing module; the operation and logic processing module is embedded with calculation instructions and logic processes corresponding to the above calculation method, and is used to automatically deduct the gas mass and volume according to the input real-time data to calculate the total liquid mass and total liquid volume; establish and solve a partial emulsification volume conservation equation to obtain the oil mass fraction α; calculate the water cut and gas-oil ratio based on the obtained α; if it is detected that α exceeds the normal range or the emulsification parameters do not match, a warning is issued and data correction or process adjustment is triggered; the database / storage module is used to save model parameters, real-time and historical measurement data, the calculated α, f w 、GOR and other result information, and supports playback or comparative analysis; the visualization / human-computer interaction module is used to real-time display key results such as water cut and gas-oil ratio to users through a graphical interface, report, or cloud interface, and can perform data interaction or control operations with external systems (such as: separator control unit, upper monitoring platform), so as to realize the digital management and online automatic regulation of oil field production.
[0132] The above oil-water-gas three-phase fluid treatment system may include:
[0133] 1) Well site / separator environment:
[0134] During the process of the fluid produced from the oil well being produced to the ground through the wellhead, after the fluid is roughly separated by the primary separator, the produced fluid still presents a state of oil-water-gas three-phase mixture, among which, part of the water is emulsified by the oil. For this reason, a set of digital metering system can be configured on the separator / collection pipeline. The digital metering system can include: a sensor network, which measures the total mass of the three-phase fluid (or, collects the total flow rate and converts the total mass based on the total flow rate), the gas volume V g (which can be obtained by a gas flowmeter or volumeter), the gas density ρ g (which can be obtained by an online densitometer or calculated by the equation of state), and the oil density ρ o 、the water density ρ w(It can be obtained by placing two online density meters at the oil and water outlets or by temperature and pressure correction). Furthermore, a stirring / shearing test unit can be set up to obtain the emulsification rate r and the emulsification volume coefficient δ. In order to obtain more accurate emulsification rate r and emulsification volume coefficient δ, the actual volume expansion / contraction in the test system such as shear strength and temperature can be changed in a bypass line or laboratory simulation device to determine a more accurate emulsification rate r and emulsification volume coefficient δ. In order to obtain more reliable parameters.
[0135] 2) Digital systems include:
[0136] Data acquisition module and communication interface for real-time acquisition of v from sensors or separator control systems g 、M total 、V total , o , w , δ and r, and transmit the data to the calculation and logic processing module through 4G / 5G network or industrial Ethernet;
[0137] The calculation and logic processing module is used to embed the core formula and solution algorithm, automatically deduct the gas phase mass, establish the liquid phase volume equation to solve α, and then calculate the moisture content f based on the calculated α w and gas-oil ratio GOR;
[0138] Database / storage module, used to save operating parameters, historical data and calculation results;
[0139] The visualization / human-computer interaction module is used to display the calculation results in real time and retrieve historical data remotely through the well site operation terminal or the remote control room interface.
[0140] Taking a specific example as an example, a gas flow meter and a gas density meter with temperature and pressure compensation function are installed at the oil well site. The gas volume v is obtained in real time through the gas flow meter and the gas density meter. g (m 3 / h level) and gas density ρ g (kg / m 3 ), and the obtained gas volume V g (m 3 / h level), and the gas density ρ g (kg / m 3 ) is transmitted to the communication module in real time. Assuming that the v sampled in the current acquisition period is g =0.35m 3 , g =kg / m 3 .
[0141] A high-precision mass flow meter or weighing sensor is configured at the oil well site to obtain the total mass M of the system. total ; and the total volume V of the container can be determined by equipment calibration or comprehensive measurement total For example: M total =1500kg, V total =2.0m 3 The oil density and water density are measured under the same temperature and pressure conditions or calibrated by PVT (Process Verification Test, small batch process verification test): ρ o =850kg / m 3 , ρ w =1000kg / m 3 Through bypass piping or online sampling tests, it is determined that under the current flow and temperature conditions, about 40% of the water enters the emulsion, and the volume is measured to have an expansion of about 3%. Based on this, it can be determined that the emulsification rate r = 0.4 and the emulsification volume coefficient δ = 1.03.
[0142] Furthermore, for more extreme temperature and pressure conditions, PVT corrections can be made to the oil density, water density and gas volume. To this end, if the oil well uses a multi-stage separation system, the gas phase data and liquid phase data can be measured separately at the inlet and outlet of each stage of the separator to perform PVT on the data, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.
[0143] Based on the multiple parameters obtained above, the following Figure 2 The water content and oil-gas ratio are automatically calculated in the following way:
[0144] S1: Calculate the liquid mass and volume:
[0145] M l =M total -ρ g v g =1500-(2×0.35)=1500-0.7=1499.3kg
[0146] V l =V total -v g =2-0.35=1.65m 3
[0147] S2: Establish the volume conservation equation:
[0148]
[0149] Let α = M o / M lThe above values are substituted one by one, and the linear solver in the operation and logic processing module is used to automatically calculate the oil mass fraction α=0.68, which means that the oil accounts for about 68% of the liquid phase mass.
[0150] S3: Calculate the moisture content f w :
[0151]
[0152] S4: Calculate the gas-oil ratio GOR:
[0153] Oil phase volume:
[0154]
[0155] Oil-gas ratio:
[0156]
[0157] Furthermore, if it is necessary to determine the GOR under standard conditions, the gas volume can be further converted to the standard conditions, and then the ratio is calculated to determine the GOR under standard conditions.
[0158] For the above-mentioned digital system, the results can be displayed and automatically fed back. Specifically, the calculation and logic processing module can calculate the f w =0.28, GOR = 0.29 (dimensionless or m 3 / m 3 form) into the database and displayed in real time on the visualization module interface; if in the next measurement cycle ρ g or v g If the values of parameters such as Alternatively, if the value of α is too large or too small, the system can issue a warning and suggest that the field engineer check the operating status of the sensor or separator, clean the storage tank, and re-run the f w and calculation of GOR.
[0159] In the above example, the sensor data and calculation results can be transmitted back to the oilfield control room or cloud platform through 4G / 5G or industrial Ethernet; for the control room, the separator pressure, demulsifier injection volume or production capacity allocation can be adjusted according to the real-time water content and GOR distribution of each well site / separator, thereby improving the separation efficiency and system stability. In this way, the water content and GOR are centrally determined, avoiding the problem of overly cumbersome process caused by estimating the water content separately and then manually calculating the oil-gas ratio. Furthermore, this method is closer to the actual three-phase partial emulsification conditions, which can improve the accuracy of the determined water content, especially in the case of high water content, high viscosity and easy emulsification wells, and can reduce the measurement error, thereby realizing the fine control of the difference between dissolved gas and free gas, and can effectively grasp the dynamic changes of the oil-gas ratio, which is of great value for pipeline transportation and reservoir evaluation.
[0160] Through the above method, the water content and oil-gas ratio can be accurately calculated in the actual well site environment, and the results can be digitally displayed and transmitted, so as to effectively guide the oil and gas production process.
