Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil extraction, and in particular to an intelligent foam fracturing fluid drag reduction performance testing system and method based on the Internet of Things. Background Art
[0002] The field of oil extraction technology includes many aspects such as exploration, drilling, production, storage and transportation of oil and gas resources. The core content of this technical field is to find and exploit underground oil and gas resources through geological exploration and drilling technology, while adopting various recovery technologies to improve oil and gas recovery rates. During the drilling process, in order to reduce friction resistance and improve operational efficiency, fluid technologies such as foam fracturing fluid are usually required. Foam fracturing fluid is a composite system composed of gas phase, liquid phase and surfactant, which can remain stable in high temperature and high pressure environment and provide good sand carrying and resistance reduction performance. The research focus of this technical field includes the rheological properties of foam fluids, interfacial tension control, stability improvement and adaptability to complex formation conditions, in order to improve the efficiency of oil and natural gas extraction.
[0003] Among them, the intelligent foam fracturing fluid drag reduction performance testing system based on the Internet of Things refers to a system that uses Internet of Things technology to monitor and test the drag reduction performance of foam fracturing fluid in real time. The system covers technical matters such as foam fluid parameter collection, data transmission, dynamic monitoring and drag reduction performance evaluation. Specifically, the system uses hardware components such as pressure sensors, flow meters, and image acquisition equipment to obtain the changes in foam fluid under different flow rates and pressure conditions, and uses wireless communication technology to transmit the collected data to the data processing terminal. The data processing terminal calculates the drag reduction rate of the foam fracturing fluid based on the analysis model set in the experiment, and displays the test results through a visual interface. In addition, the system combines automatic control devices to dynamically adjust the foam composition and fluid state to optimize the drag reduction performance of the foam fracturing fluid.
[0004] Existing technologies mainly rely on a single sensor to collect fluid data, and are unable to achieve the simultaneous acquisition of multi-dimensional data, resulting in the difficulty of accurately monitoring the rheological properties of foam fluids under different working conditions, affecting the accurate evaluation of the foam's drag reduction performance. The analytical methods for foam microstructure are relatively limited, and can only be inferred through limited physical parameters. It is impossible to conduct real-time quantitative analysis of the evolution of foam morphology and changes in interface characteristics, resulting in limited evaluation of foam stability. The pressure regulation of existing technologies usually adopts a fixed pressure adjustment method, which fails to make adaptive adjustments based on the rheological characteristics of the foam, affecting the adaptability of the foam. For foam stability assessment, existing methods are mostly based on static experiments, which cannot reflect the actual flow conditions of foam in a dynamic environment, making it difficult to directly use experimental data for field applications. The evaluation of drag reduction performance relies on single shear stress or flow rate data, fails to comprehensively consider the complexity of the flow environment, and is difficult to ensure the applicability of foam fracturing fluids under different reservoir conditions.

Assuming that the stability parameters of a foam are 0.75 and 0.65 at flow rates of 1.2m / s and 1.8m / s respectively, the dynamic characteristic value of stability is , then the flow adaptation parameter is calculated as , then, calculate the adaptation ratio at different flow rates ,in is the interval between adjacent flow rates, if , , ,but , then, screen the adaptation ratios at all flow rates and set the stable interval threshold , find satisfaction The flow rate range, assuming , then the interval meets the adaptability conditions, and the foam flow adaptability is finally calculated , assuming that the flow rate range , , ,but , and finally obtain the foam flow adaptability .
[0054] The foam burst calculation submodule obtains foam burst rate data based on the foam flow adaptability, calculates the burst frequency in the time series, screens the burst rate exceeding the threshold interval, extracts the burst trend, analyzes the burst fluctuation range under different pressure conditions, and combines the foam duration and flow stability parameters to evaluate the foam burst changes under shear action to obtain the foam burst rate; First, we need to obtain data on the foam burst rate by evaluating the foam flow adaptability. Specifically, we first use sensors or imaging technology to monitor the foam flow process and obtain the flow characteristics of the foam under different environmental conditions, such as foam volume, shape change, bubble size and other parameters. Assuming that under a certain flow condition, the foam volume change rate is , and the average diameter of the bubbles is , these data can be obtained by real-time monitoring of the bubble behavior in the flow field. During the foam flow process, the formation and rupture of bubbles are affected by factors such as fluid mechanics, surface tension and shear force. The rupture rate of the foam will be adjusted according to the changes in these factors, thereby affecting the stability of the foam. As an example, assume that the initial burst rate of a foam sample is , through continuous measurement, we can get the number of bubbles that burst in 1 second and the corresponding foam volume change value. Next, we calculate the frequency of foam bursting based on these real-time data. Assuming that the bursting events observed in a certain period are times, the frequency of bubble burst The formula Calculate, where By this method, the frequency of foam bursting can be compared with the performance under different flow environments and pressure conditions, and the interval where the burst rate exceeds the threshold can be screened out. For example, when the frequency of foam bursting exceeds the preset threshold When , it can be considered that the foam sample is in an unstable state and the flow conditions need to be optimized or adjusted. On this basis, the rupture trend is further extracted and the fluctuation range of foam rupture under different pressure conditions is identified. and The rupture frequencies obtained are and , then the bubble burst fluctuation range can be Evaluate and calculate the range to be This fluctuation range helps to analyze the effect of different pressures on foam stability. Combining the duration of the foam with the flow stability parameters, we can finally evaluate the changes in foam rupture under shear and evaluate the shear rate. The impact on foam bursting. Assuming that the shear rate of the foam under a certain flow state is , then the foam rupture rate will increase with the increase of shear force. In this process, by analyzing the relationship between rupture frequency and shear rate, a comprehensive evaluation of the foam rupture rate can be obtained. Assuming that at high shear rate, the foam rupture rate increases to , we can conclude that the foam burst rate has a significant relationship with the shear effect. The greater the shear rate, the faster the foam burst rate, which affects the stability and life cycle of the foam. Finally, based on the above analysis, the specific value of the foam burst rate is obtained. Based on multiple factors such as flow conditions, pressure changes, and shear rate, the foam burst rate is obtained. , this result provides an important basis for subsequent foam stability optimization and control.
