Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the downhole field, and particularly relates to a sealing level determination system and method for a formation isolation valve drive unit. Background Art
[0002] In the drilling, cementing, and completion operations of oil and gas fields, the formation isolation valve is an important tool for isolating different formation pressures, controlling fluid flow, and optimizing subsequent stimulation operations. Currently, formation isolation valves usually use packers, cementing sleeves, ball setting, etc. to achieve sealing and fluid control. However, as oil and gas field development advances towards deeper, higher temperature and pressure environments, and complex formations, existing formation isolation valves still have many technical problems in terms of sealing stability, sealing level assessment, and construction reliability.
[0003] Firstly, most existing packers use fixed-shaped elastic sealing structures, such as rubber sealing elements. In the high-temperature and high-pressure downhole environment, rubber materials are prone to a decrease in sealing ability due to aging, mechanical fatigue, uneven thermal expansion, etc.
[0004] In addition, the wellbore often has characteristics such as irregular shape, microfractures, and pores. Traditional fixed sealing structures cannot fully adapt, and it is easy to form micro-leakage channels, resulting in the failure of the packer seal.
[0005] Secondly, the sealing structure of the cementing sleeve is prone to being affected by long-term annulus pressure changes after cementing. The sealing elements of the sleeve may fail due to stress relaxation, material creep, etc., affecting the safety of downhole operations.
[0006] In the prior art, the determination of the sealing level usually relies on post-cementing pressure tests or fluid leakage tests, but this method can only provide static measurement results and cannot real-time monitor the sealing state during actual production, making it difficult to detect micro-leakage or sealing performance degradation in a timely manner, thereby increasing the risk and cost of subsequent operations.
[0007] In addition, during the cementing process, the sealing structure of the cementing sleeve may be abnormal due to the influence of the complex downhole pressure environment. Cement slurry may flow back along the micro-channels, resulting in a decrease in cementing quality and further affecting the sealing effect of the formation isolation valve. Existing cementing sleeves usually rely on improving mechanical precision or increasing the thickness of the sealing material to reduce the risk of cement backflow, but these measures cannot fundamentally solve problems such as poor sealing adaptability, difficulty in real-time determination of the sealing level, and cement backflow. In addition, during the cementing construction process, the slip switch tool and the slip sleeve usually adopt an interference fit structure, and jamming may occur during the switching operation, resulting in the tool being unable to be recovered smoothly or the sleeve being unable to be switched normally, affecting the entire construction process.
[0008] Therefore, there are still significant technical challenges in the existing formation isolation valves in terms of long-term sealing stability, real-time assessment of the sealing state, optimization of the cementing sleeve sealing structure, and reliability of the sleeve switching. There is an urgent need for a technical solution that can dynamically adapt to the complex downhole environment, improve the sealing level, and achieve intelligent assessment of the sealing state to enhance the sealing reliability and construction safety of the formation isolation valve.

[0043] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are at least as follows:
[0044] First of all, the present invention adopts a locally controllable deformation sealing structure, integrating a shape memory alloy sealing ring and a hydraulic fine-tuning unit at the sealing parts of the packer and the cementing sliding sleeve, enabling the sealing element to actively adjust the sealing state according to changes in the downhole environment. The shape memory alloy sealing ring can deform with changes in temperature and pressure, making the sealing structure closely fit the wellbore wall.

The fiber Bragg grating sensors can monitor the stress state and deformation of the packer, while the ultrasonic seal detection system can identify the contact integrity of the sealing surface and accurately judge whether there are micro-leakage channels. The artificial intelligence analysis model automatically classifies the sealing level based on the seal monitoring data and triggers a seal optimization strategy when the seal state deteriorates, improving the reliability of the seal.
[0046] In addition, the present invention optimizes the sealing structure of the cementing sliding sleeve and adopts a hydraulic locking mechanism to make the sliding sleeve enter an irreversible sealing state after closing, thereby preventing cement backflow and improving the cementing quality. At the same time, the present invention improves the structure of the sliding sleeve switching tool and adopts an adaptive sliding sealing mechanism to reduce the frictional resistance during the switching process, reduce the risk of jamming, and improve the construction success rate. Through the adaptive sealing structure and intelligent sealing determination method of the present invention, the long-term sealing stability of the formation isolation valve can be effectively improved, the sealing level can be evaluated in real time, the sealing effect of the cementing sliding sleeve can be optimized, and the safety of the sliding sleeve operation can be improved, which is applicable to the oil and gas field development operations of deep wells, high-temperature and high-pressure wells, and complex formation wells.

[0056] Embodiment 1
[0057] As Figure 1 shown, a method for determining the sealing level of a formation isolation valve drive unit provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0058] S1. Obtain the original data set of the downhole sealing state, preprocess the original data set, and divide the preprocessed data set into a training set and a validation set by using a time period division method.
[0059] Specifically, the input of this step is the original data set from various hardware sensors , and these data are mainly composed of the following types of information:
[0060] Sensor data: Environmental sensor data such as temperature, humidity, and pressure.
[0061] Position data: Real-time position data provided by GPS or other positioning devices.
[0062] Dynamic sensing data: For example, data captured by accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc. for device movement.
[0063] Since this data often comes from different sensors and has inconsistent formats, there are many problems in directly using the original data for subsequent analysis, such as noise, missing data, dimensional inconsistency, etc. Therefore, a series of preprocessing steps are required in the present invention to improve the data quality.
[0064] Preferably, to improve the accuracy of the data, the present invention needs to remove outliers from the data and handle missing values. For different data characteristics, the present invention uses the following two methods:
[0065] Outlier detection: Detect outliers in the data based on the Local Outlier Factor (LOF) algorithm. This method identifies outliers by calculating the local density difference between a data point and its neighbor points. Formula:
[0066]
[0067] Where, is the current data point, is the data point of k nearest neighbor points. is the inverse of the local density of point , that is , is and the distance between.
[0068] Missing value filling: For missing data, the present invention uses linear interpolation to fill it. Specifically, for the missing value at a certain moment, the present invention estimates and fills the value by linear interpolation based on the data of the two adjacent points. Interpolation formula:
[0069]
[0070] Where, is the estimated value of the missing data, and are the actual data of the two time points before and after the missing point respectively.
[0071] Preferably, the next step of data preprocessing is to perform normalization and standardization. Normalization is to process data with different dimensions and ranges so that they are on the same scale to avoid the unbalanced impact of different dimensions on model learning.
[0072] Min - Max Normalization: To ensure that all features are within the same range, the present invention normalizes the value of each feature into the interval [0, 1]. This method is applicable when the data does not contain obvious outliers. Formula:
[0073]
[0074] where, is the normalized feature value, and are respectively the minimum and maximum values of the feature .
[0075] Standardization: For features with large differences and more suitable for the assumption of a standard normal distribution, the present invention adopts standardization to make the mean of the data 0 and the variance 1. The specific formula is as follows:
[0076]
[0077] where, is the standardized feature value, and are respectively the mean and standard deviation of the feature .
[0078] Preferably, considering that the sensor data in the present invention often has temporal dependence and real - time requirements, the present invention designs an improved "temporal weighted moving average filter". This filter combines a weighted time window and local time trend analysis to remove short - term fluctuations and retain long - term trends.
[0079]
[0080] where, is the smoothed data point. is the weighting coefficient, is the original data at the th moment. is the trend estimate based on the time series, usually obtained through a simple linear regression model. is the adjustment coefficient, used to balance the influence of the local time trend and the smoothing window. Through this weighted smoothing process, the present invention can remove the noise in the temporal data and retain the long - term trend and important information of the data.
[0081] After completing data cleaning, standardization, and temporal smoothing processing, the present invention divides the data set into a training set and a validation set. To avoid future data leakage, the present invention adopts a division method based on time periods.
[0082]
[0083] where, is the end of the training set time period, is the total time length of the data set.
[0084] In this step, by combining innovative time series weighted smoothing processing and weighted normalization methods, the noise in the data is effectively removed, and the important trend information is retained. These preprocessing methods provide high-quality data input for subsequent model training, and ensure the stability and generalization ability of the model. Through a reasonable data partitioning method, the present invention ensures that there is no future data leakage problem between the training set and the validation set, thereby improving the accuracy and robustness of the model.
[0085] S2. Construct a time series weighted regression model based on historical data, evaluate the current sealing level, and use the training set to train the time series weighted regression model. Combine the current sealing level, the corresponding previous sealing level, and the changes in environmental variables to construct a dynamic regression model, and generate the predicted next moment sealing level.
[0086] Specifically, the purpose of the evaluation model is to train a regression model through existing historical data, so as to predict the sealing level of the current device . In order to improve the accuracy of the model, the present invention needs to capture the relationship between the sealing level and environmental changes based on historical time series data. Previously, the present invention has divided the data into a training set and a validation set. Therefore, the present invention will use these data to train the model and evaluate its performance.
[0087] Preferably, the definition of the time series weighted regression model is:
[0088] Assume that the sealing level of the device is determined by the weighted combination of historical sensor data and environmental variables. On this basis, an improved time series weighted regression model is proposed, which includes a sensor change term and an environmental variable change term.
[0089]
[0090] Among them, is the sealing level of the device at time ; is the feature output by the th sensor at time ; is the feature output by the th environmental variable at time ; and are regression coefficients to be learned, used to quantify the influence of different sensors and environmental variables on the sealing level; is the dynamic correction term coefficient, used to adjust the influence of the change in sensor data on the sealing level evaluation; is a weighting factor, indicating the influence degree of different sensors on the sealing level; represents the th sensor at time and the change amount between.
[0091] Use the training set to optimize the regression coefficients , and the weighting factor , to minimize the error between the predicted sealing level and the actual observed value. The present invention adopts the least squares method (LeastSquares) as the loss function to train the model. The training process is as follows:
[0092]
[0093] wherein, is the sealing level predicted by the model.
[0094] By minimizing the loss function , the present invention obtains a trained regression model, which can be evaluated on the validation set to test the accuracy and generalization ability of the model.
[0095] After completing the sealing level evaluation, the present invention continues with trend prediction to make a judgment on the future equipment sealing state. In trend prediction, the present invention uses historical sealing level data and environmental variable changes to establish a dynamic regression model.
[0096] Preferably, the dynamic regression model:
[0097] Based on the current sealing level and the sealing level at the previous moment , as well as the changes in environmental variables, establish a model for predicting the future sealing level. This model reflects the trend of the equipment sealing level changing over time by dynamically adjusting the coefficients:
[0098]
[0099] wherein, is the predicted sealing level at the next moment; is the sealing level at the current moment; is the sealing level at the previous moment; is the time series smoothing coefficient, controlling the influence of the current sealing level change; is the weighted correction coefficient of the sensor data for the trend change; is the weighted coefficient of the sensor data for the trend; represents the th sensor's change amount; is the trend correction coefficient for environmental variable changes; is the change amount of the
[0100] S3. According to the predicted next moment's sealing level and the changes in environmental variables, through the controllable deformation mechanism, generate the sealing adjustment deformation amount of the device and dynamically adjust the sealing system.
[0101] Specifically, based on the sealing level prediction model, the self-adaptive sealing adjustment step of local controllable deformation is mainly used to dynamically adjust the sealing system according to the changes of the device in the actual working environment. The goal of this step is to achieve local sealing performance optimization through the controllable deformation mechanism based on the predicted sealing level and the current device state information. The input comes from the output of step 2, that is, the predicted sealing level and the changes in environmental variables . These data will be combined with the current actual state information of the device and used for sealing adjustment.
[0102] : The sealing level at the next moment obtained through the trend prediction model.
[0103] : The change amount of the environmental variable at time , which reflects the influence of environmental factors on the operating state of the device.
[0104] The key to this step is to use the local controllable deformation mechanism to adjust the sealing state of the device in real time according to the sealing level prediction and the changes in environmental variables. This adjustment process is achieved by controlling some local components of the device (such as sealing strips, sealing covers, etc.). Assuming that the deformation amount of each local component is related to the change in the sealing level and the change in environmental factors, the present invention designs a dynamic control model based on regression coefficient adjustment. This model adjusts the deformation amount through a weighting factor, enabling the device to adapt to different environmental conditions and sealing requirements.
[0105] Based on the local controllable deformation model, the sealing adjustment deformation amount of the device can be expressed by the following formula:
[0106]
[0107] Among them, is the local controllable deformation amount representing time , which is the core goal of the adjustment of the device sealing system, with the unit of length (such as millimeters). is the system constant, representing the deformation amount under the reference state of the device. is the th sensor at time The reading is used to reflect the current working state of the device. is the reading of the th environmental variable at time is the adjustment coefficient, indicating the degree of influence of the change in the sealing level on the deformation amount. is the change amount of the sealing level indicating the current moment, , reflecting the increase or decrease of the sealing level. Specific implementation
[0108] Input acquisition: According to the sensor data of the device and environmental variables , combined with the change amount of the sealing level output in step 2 , calculate the deformation amount of each local component through a dynamic regression model .
[0109] Deformation control: Use an accurate control system (such as a servo drive device) to adjust each local sealing component. The adjustment amplitude is determined by , and this deformation amount can be subdivided into the expansion and contraction amount of the local sealing strip or the displacement amount of the sealing cover.
[0110] Feedback mechanism: After each adjustment, collect the new sealing level value through the sensor, and input it into the trend prediction model again to update the sealing level prediction in real time and continue to adjust the sealing system according to the change.
[0111] The output of this step is the adjusted sealing level , which represents the sealing state of the device after local controllable deformation adjustment under the current environment and operating state. The new sealing level prediction result will be used as the input for the next prediction to continuously optimize the sealing performance of the device. The core of this step is to dynamically adjust the local sealing components of the device so that they can adapt to the changes in working conditions and the environment, thereby maintaining the long-term stable operation and efficient sealing of the device.
[0112] S4. According to the difference between the sealing level at the next moment and the current sealing level, combined with the change of the environmental variable and the sealing adjustment deformation amount of the device, generate an optimized sliding sleeve adjustment requirement to maintain the sealing stability; the sliding sleeve adjustment requirement includes: the position of the sliding sleeve and the sealing pressure.
[0113] Specifically, in this step, the present invention focuses on the adaptive adjustment of the sliding sleeve sealing system to avoid the influence of cement backflow on the oil and gas well equipment. In step 3, the present invention has obtained the sealing level prediction value according to the multi-sensor feedback information , and determines the current sealing state of the device. Based on these results, the present invention needs to further optimize the sealing effect of the sliding sleeve by adjusting the displacement and sealing pressure of the sliding sleeve to maintain the stability of the seal.
[0114] Input: Sealing level prediction result : The sealing level value predicted by Step 3, used to indicate the sealing requirement of the device.
[0115] Current sealing state : The state of the current sealing system of the device, from the sealing detection results of the previous step. Environmental state change amount : The influence amount of the current working environment of the device (such as temperature, pressure, vibration, etc.) on the sealing system. Local deformation amount of the sliding sleeve : The local deformation data of the sliding sleeve from the previous step, used to calculate the change in sealing performance.
[0116] Operation:
[0117] The goal of this step is to optimize the position and pressure of the sliding sleeve by designing an adaptive adjustment model based on the aforementioned inputs, so as to improve the sealing performance and prevent the occurrence of cement backflow.
[0118] The present invention proposes a dynamic feedback adjustment model, the core of which is to calculate the adjustment requirement of the sliding sleeve according to the difference between the predicted sealing level value and the current state, combined with the change of environmental variables. At the same time, when calculating the adjustment amount, the present invention introduces an adaptive regularization term to limit over-adjustment and avoid equipment damage caused by rapid changes.
[0119] Basic formula for sliding sleeve adjustment:
[0120] First, by comparing the predicted sealing level with the current sealing state , the error of the sealing system is obtained, and then the adjustment requirement of the sliding sleeve is calculated.
[0121] The present invention introduces a new adjustment function , which not only considers the sealing level error, but also takes into account the environmental variable change amount and the local deformation amount to improve the adaptive ability. The adjustment formula is as follows:
[0122]
[0123] Among them, is the adjustment amount of the sliding sleeve, indicating the displacement amount (unit: millimeter) that the sliding sleeve should move. is an adaptive adjustment coefficient, which is dynamically updated based on the device status and historical data, and reflects the influence of the seal level error on the sliding sleeve adjustment. is the current device seal status, which is the output from the previous step. is the predicted value of the seal level (the output of step 3). is the environmental feedback adjustment coefficient, which describes the environmental variable 's influence on the sliding sleeve adjustment. is each environmental factor 's influence coefficient on the sliding sleeve adjustment, which is obtained by training based on experimental or simulation data. is the local deformation feedback coefficient, which reflects the local deformation amount 's influence on the sliding sleeve adjustment amount. is the local seal deformation amount data of the aforementioned step.
[0124] To prevent equipment damage caused by excessive adjustment, the present invention introduces a regularization term in the adjustment model. This term can constrain the sliding sleeve adjustment amount, so that excessive adjustment amounts are punished, thereby maintaining the stability of the equipment operation. The present invention proposes a constraint regularization based on the seal deformation amount, and this regularization term punishes the deformation amount exceeding a certain threshold. Its form is:
[0125]
[0126] Among them, is the regularization term, which represents the penalty term for excessive adjustment, and the unit is the square of the adjustment amount. is the regularization coefficient, which controls the intensity of the penalty term. is the absolute value of the sliding sleeve adjustment amount. The final adjustment amount is given by the following formula:
[0127]
[0128] Furthermore, according to the finally calculated sliding sleeve adjustment amount , the position and seal pressure of the sliding sleeve are adjusted through the control system. The specific steps include:
[0129] Sliding sleeve position adjustment: According to , precise displacement adjustment is carried out through the servo drive system to ensure that the sliding sleeve position is within the optimized range.
[0130] Seal pressure optimization: At the same time, according to the adjustment amount, the seal pressure of the sliding sleeve is dynamically adjusted. The adjustment formula for the seal pressure is:
[0131]
[0132] Among them, is the adjusted sealing pressure. is the initial sealing pressure. is the adjustment coefficient related to the sliding sleeve material and working environment, obtained based on experimental data.
