[0033] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a composite controlled stratified oil production device, including a body 17 and a bridge-type short section 24 .
[0034] An upper outer cylinder 3 and a lower outer cylinder 19 are disposed on either side of the body 17. A first liquid inlet 100 is disposed on the sidewall of the body 17. A nozzle adjustment assembly is located at the first liquid inlet 100. In this embodiment, the nozzle adjustment assembly includes a nozzle 15 and an adjustment assembly for adjusting the nozzle 15. A central tube 4 is disposed in the center of the body 17, extending from the body 17 into the upper outer cylinder 3. The nozzle adjustment assembly is located on one side of the central tube 4.
[0035] The bridge nipple 24 is connected to the lower outer tube 19, a second liquid inlet 200 is provided on the side wall of the bridge nipple 24, and an adjustment structure 23 is provided inside the bridge nipple 24; the bottom of the nozzle adjustment assembly is connected to the nozzle housing 18, and a liquid guide tube 22 is provided below the nozzle housing 18, and the liquid guide tube 22 can be connected to the central tube 4 through the bridge nipple 24 to form a first liquid inlet channel; the second liquid inlet 200 can be connected to the central tube 4 to form a second liquid inlet channel; the adjustment structure 23 is used to control the opening and closing of the first liquid inlet channel and the second liquid inlet channel.
[0036] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of flow monitoring and circuit location in this embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a data acquisition and processing sub 29 is disposed within the upper outer tube 3, and an upper flowmeter probe 27 and a lower flowmeter probe 28 are disposed on the outside of the central tube 4. Preferably, the upper flowmeter probe 27 and the lower flowmeter probe 28 are threadedly connected to the central tube 4. The upper flowmeter probe 27 and the lower flowmeter probe 28 are located within the upper outer tube 3 and are both signal-connected to the data acquisition and processing sub 29.
[0037] With this arrangement, when formation fluid passes through the central pipe 4, the flowmeter's upper probe 27 and lower probe 28 emit flow monitoring signals, monitor and analyze the fluid flow rate, and transmit the data to the data acquisition and processing sub 29. Furthermore, the central pipe 4 stabilizes the fluid flow, ensuring accurate monitoring of the fluid flow parameters as the formation fluid moves through it.
[0038] Optionally, in this embodiment, a water monitoring seat 20 is provided in the lower outer cylinder 19 , and the two ends of the water monitoring seat 20 are respectively connected to the nozzle sleeve 18 and the liquid guide tube 22 , and a water monitoring probe 21 is provided in the water monitoring seat 20 , and the water monitoring probe 21 is connected to the data acquisition and processing short section 29 for signal connection.
[0039] The nozzle housing 18 can provide a liquid inlet channel for the formation fluid. A water monitoring seat 20, a water monitoring probe 21 and a liquid guide tube 22 are arranged below the nozzle housing 18 to realize water monitoring of the formation fluid.
[0040] In this embodiment, by placing the water monitoring probe 21 in the formation fluid inlet channel, the formation fluid passing through the nozzle 15 enters the water monitoring seat 20 through the nozzle jacket 18. The nozzle jacket 18 plays a role in stabilizing the fluid before entering the water monitoring probe 21, ensuring that the water monitoring probe 21 accurately and in real time monitors the water content of the formation fluid.
[0041] In this embodiment, the center tube 4 and nozzle housing 18 are both located within the main body 17, which is threadedly connected to both the upper and lower outer tubes 3 and 19. The upper end of the main body 17 is threadedly connected to the outer shell 6, the data acquisition and processing sub 29, the upper connector 30 for the water monitoring line, and the middle connector 31 for the main line cable. The lower end of the main body 17 is threadedly connected to the lower connector 32 for the main line cable and the lower connector 33 for the water monitoring line.
[0042] Specifically, Figure 3 yes Figure 1 AA cross-sectional structural diagram, Figure 4 yes Figure 1 BB cross-sectional structure diagram, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the ends of a water monitoring seat 20 are connected to the nozzle housing 18 and the liquid guide tube 22 via threads, respectively. With this arrangement, formation fluid passing through the nozzle 15 enters the water monitoring seat 20 through the nozzle housing 18, where it is detected and analyzed by the water monitoring probe 21. The signal is then transmitted to the data acquisition and processing sub 29 via the water monitoring line connection lower connector 33 and the water monitoring line connection upper connector 30, thereby enabling real-time monitoring of the water parameters of the target layer.
[0043] By providing a liquid guide tube 22 connected to the bridge sub 24, the formation fluid is guided into the regulating structure 23 inside the bridge sub 24. For ease of use, in this embodiment, the regulating structure 23 is a rotating sleeve with a first inlet 231 and a second inlet 232 provided thereon. The first inlet 231 is used to communicate with the first liquid inlet 100, and the second inlet 232 is used to communicate with the second liquid inlet 200.
[0044] Specifically, Figure 5 yes Figure 1 The cross-sectional structure diagram of CC is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the bridge sub 24 in this embodiment is threadedly connected to the lower outer cylinder 19. An axially rotatable rotating sleeve is provided within the bridge sub 24. Axial rotation of the rotating sleeve enables opening and closing of the formation fluid channel. Furthermore, the first inlet 231 connecting the rotating sleeve and the liquid guide tube 22 serves as a nozzle channel electrically controlled by a signal cable, while the second inlet 232 connecting the rotating sleeve and the bridge sub 24 serves as a nozzle channel controlled by cable operations. This composite-controlled stratified oil production device features a dual liquid inlet channel structure: the first liquid inlet channel is electrically controlled by a signal cable; the second liquid inlet channel utilizes a bridge-type channel design. During cable operations, while the liquid inlet channel of the lower stratified oil production tool is controlled by the rotating sleeve of the target stratified oil production tool, formation fluid production can still be achieved in other strata.
[0045] With such a setting, this composite-controlled stratified oil production device can realize the switching function through cable operation when the electronically controlled electronic control device fails. While solving the problem of formation fluid flow and water content monitoring, it realizes the function of nozzle adjustment through signal cable. At the same time, it has the function of realizing nozzle adjustment through cable operation and has a dual nozzle function, which can extend the life of the stratified oil production process, solve the problem that the target layer cannot be controlled after the current electronic control product fails, and extend the life of the stratified production well.
[0046] As an optional implementation, a spring 25 is provided in the bridge sub 24 in this embodiment. The spring 25 is provided below the rotating sleeve and is used to prevent the oil nozzle from automatically opening and closing due to fluctuations in production fluid during the downhole production process through the pre-tightening force of the spring 25.
[0047] As an optional embodiment, the nozzle adjustment assembly includes a shell 6 and a power device, a transmission rod 11 and a nozzle 15 arranged in the shell 6. The shell 6 is arranged in the upper outer tube 3. The power device can drive the transmission rod 11 to move, which is used to control the switching action of the nozzle 15.
[0048] Among them, the power device includes a motor module 7, a bearing connector 8, a bearing 9 and a bearing seat 10. The working principle of this embodiment is: the motor module 7 is connected to the bearing seat 10 through the keyway structure of the bearing connector 8 and realizes the transmission of the torque of the motor module 7 to the transmission rod 11; through the cooperation of the bearing seat 10 and the transmission rod 11, the rotational motion of the motor module 7 is converted into the axial movement of the transmission rod 11, thereby realizing the switching action of the oil nozzle 15.
[0049] The nozzle adjustment assembly in this embodiment also includes a transmission rod housing 12, a movable sealing assembly 14, and a nozzle locking cap 16. The transmission rod housing 12 is disposed on the outside of the transmission rod 11, i.e., the transmission rod 11 is connected to the bearing seat 10 and is located inside the transmission rod housing 12. The movable sealing assembly 14 is disposed between the transmission rod housing 12 and the nozzle 15 and is used to achieve a movable seal between the transmission rod 11 and the body 17. The nozzle locking cap 16 is disposed between the transmission rod 11 and the nozzle 15 and is used to secure the nozzle 15 to the transmission rod 11 and prevent the nozzle 15 from loosening within the nozzle housing 18. The nozzle adjustment assembly also includes an adjusting short-section cable sealing head 5, which is connected to the adjusting short-section housing 6 via threads.
[0050] As an optional embodiment, a sand control tube 13 is further included. The sand control tube 13 is arranged between the upper outer tube 3 and the body 17 and is located outside the first liquid inlet 100 .
[0051] In this embodiment, a sand prevention tube 13 is provided on the outside of the first liquid inlet 100, that is, the sand prevention tube 13 is located outside the liquid inlet of the oil nozzle 15, which is used to perform sand blocking treatment on the liquid entering the formation, thereby preventing the problem of sand jamming and inability to adjust the oil nozzle 15 caused by large particles of sand in the formation.
[0052] As an optional embodiment, the upper outer tube 3 is connected to the upper joint 1, the bridge nipple 24 is connected to the lower joint 26, and one end of the upper joint 1 is provided with an oil pipe thread for connecting to the oil pipe.
[0053] In this embodiment, the upper outer cylinder 3 and upper joint 1, as well as the bridge sub 24 and lower joint 26, are all connected by threads. Specifically, the upper joint 1 is a circular cylindrical structure, with one end surface having API tubing threads for connection to the tubing. It internally features cable connector threads for connection to the main line cable connector 34, and internally includes a sealing surface and step for positioning and sealing with the center tube 4. The other end surface is threaded for connection to the upper outer cylinder 3, and internally, threads for connection to the main line cable sealing head 2.
