Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a downhole gas channeling treatment device, belonging to the technical field of oil and gas development. Background Art
[0002] Gas channeling in oil and gas wells is a common problem in oil and gas development. According to statistics, about 35%-50% of oil and gas wells globally have varying degrees of gas channeling problems. The main manifestation is that gases (such as CO2, CH4, H2S, etc.) undergo non-targeted cross-flow through the wellbore annulus, cement microcracks, or high-permeability formation channels. The chain problems caused by gas channeling seriously threaten the economic benefits, safety, and environmental sustainability of oil and gas fields.
[0003] Microbially induced mineralization plugging generates calcium carbonate deposits through the metabolism of bacteria, possessing the advantages of self-adaptive plugging and environmental friendliness. The technology of the bacterial-calcium mixture solution with Bacillus pasteurii as the core has become a research hotspot. However, current related research is still in the preliminary stage, mostly laboratory experiments and numerical simulations, and field applications are not yet mature. Therefore, for the field application of microbially induced mineralization plugging, a device integrating bacterial solution transportation, plugging, and monitoring needs to be manufactured.

Specific implementation manner
[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] The present invention discloses a downhole gas channeling treatment device, which includes a ground control and processing system, a conveying system, a downhole spraying device, and a dynamic monitoring and feedback module. The ground control and processing system consists of a control center 1, a logging vehicle 3, and an integrated cable 4. The control center 1 and the logging vehicle 2 are both connected to the integrated cable 4 for data processing and controlling the operation of the downhole device. The other end of the integrated cable 4 is connected to the coiled tubing vehicle 3 for transmitting data and power. The conveying system consists of a coiled tubing vehicle 3, coiled tubing 9, liquid storage tank (a) 5, liquid storage tank (b) 7, conveying pipeline (a) 6, and conveying pipeline (b) 8. The liquid storage tank (a) 5 is connected to the coiled tubing vehicle 3 through the conveying pipeline (a) 6, and the liquid storage tank (b) 7 is connected to the coiled tubing vehicle 3 through the conveying pipeline (b) 8. The integrated cable 4, the conveying pipeline (a) 6, and the conveying pipeline (b) 8 are all placed inside the coiled tubing 9 and transported to the downhole. The downhole spraying device consists of a hydraulic valve (a) 11, a hydraulic valve (b) 12, an intermediate container 13, an impeller 15, an atomizing nozzle 14, and a centralizer 16, and is connected to the coiled tubing 9 through an adapter 10. The hydraulic valve (a) 11 and the hydraulic valve (b) 12 are respectively the connection valves for the conveying pipeline (a) 6 and the conveying pipeline (b) 8 to the intermediate container 13. The impeller 15 is located at the bottom of the intermediate container 13. There are three atomizing nozzles 14, and the coverage angle of each nozzle is 120°, which are evenly distributed around the bottom of the intermediate container. The centralizer 16 is located outside the downhole spraying device to increase the stability of the device. The dynamic monitoring and feedback module consists of a permanent magnet (a) 17, a permanent magnet (b) 19, and a transmitting and receiving coil 18. The transmitting and receiving coil 18 is evenly wound along the axial direction of the device and is connected to the integrated cable 4 through an energized wire 20. The permanent magnet (a) 17 and the permanent magnet (b) 19 are fixed and symmetrically distributed at both ends of the transmitting and receiving coil 18. A spacer layer 21 is located below the intermediate container 13 for fixing and supporting the intermediate container 13, and there is a circular channel 22 inside for the energized wire 20 to pass through.
[0023] The operation process of the present invention will be further described in detail.
[0024] In the first step, the suspension of Bacillus pasteurii and the urea-CaCl2 nutrient solution are respectively stored in the liquid storage tank (a) 5 and the liquid storage tank (b) 7. The integrated cable 4, the conveying pipeline (a) 6 and the conveying pipeline (b) 8 are all placed inside the coiled tubing 9. The downhole spraying device and the dynamic monitoring and feedback module are slowly sent into the well through the coiled tubing. During the process of lowering the device, the transmitting and receiving coil 18 continuously emits radio frequency pulses of a specific frequency and receives electrical signals, and the electrical signals are transmitted to the logging truck 2 through the integrated cable 4 for processing to obtain the permeability parameter information at different depths and determine the precise gas channeling layer position.
[0025] In the second step, when the first gas channeling layer position is identified, the control center 1 controls the hydraulic valve (a) 11 and the hydraulic valve (b) 12 to open. The suspension of Bacillus pasteurii and the urea-CaCl2 nutrient solution respectively enter the intermediate container 13 through the conveying pipeline (a) 6 and the conveying pipeline (b) 8. The impeller 15 is started to stir to make the suspension of Bacillus pasteurii and the urea-CaCl2 nutrient solution mix evenly. When an appropriate amount of bacteria-calcium mixture is obtained, the hydraulic valve (a) 11 and the hydraulic valve (b) 12 are closed, and the atomizing nozzle 14 sprays the bacteria-calcium mixture on the target gas channeling position. Calcium carbonate precipitation is generated through microbial induction to achieve the effect of plugging the gas channeling layer position.
[0026] In the third step, after spraying the bacteria-calcium mixture on this gas channeling layer position and reacting for a period of time, the permeability information of this layer position is obtained through the dynamic monitoring and feedback module and the logging truck 2 to judge the spraying of the bacteria-calcium mixture and the microbial reaction situation. If the expected effect is not achieved, repeat the above second step and continue to monitor until the expected effect is achieved.
[0027] In the fourth step, continue to slowly lower the downhole spraying device and the dynamic monitoring and feedback module. When the next gas channeling layer position is identified, repeat the second step and the third step until the bottom of the well is reached to achieve the purpose of plugging all the gas channeling layer positions in the whole well section.
