Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil well production, and in particular to an oil well stratified production control device suitable for remote dynamic adaptive regulation between oil layers in a stratified oil well. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in the oil production process, stratified production technology is an important means to increase oil well production and recovery rate. Traditional stratified production technology usually uses a combination of mechanical packers and fixed production devices to achieve stratified flow control through pre-set throttle holes. However, in multi-layer oil well production technology, the pressure difference between layers is a key factor affecting the recovery rate. Traditional stratified production technology has at least the following core problems:

[0003] 1. Pressure monitoring lags;

[0004] Current interlayer pressure monitoring still relies on periodic shut-in testing to obtain stratified pressure data, which cannot reflect reservoir dynamics (such as sudden pressure drops and crossflow risks) in real time, resulting in a lag in corresponding control measures.

[0005] 2. The regulatory measures are outdated, costly and inefficient;

[0006] The existing production status adjustment can only rely on downhole operations and adjustment of the downhole tubing status to complete, which has a long cycle and high cost. It is impossible to adjust the stratified oil production status in real time according to dynamic changes, and it is impossible to achieve independent control of the stratified layers. The overall coordinated control efficiency is low. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To this end, the present invention provides an oil well stratified production control device to solve the technical problems in the prior art of oil well stratified production, such as pressure monitoring lag, inability to achieve independent stratified control, poor linkage and coordination of control means, and low control efficiency.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] An oil well stratified production control device, comprising:

[0010] A ground electric control component has a retractable kinetic energy output end, and the ground electric control component generates an oil well stratified production plan based on comprehensive data analysis and judgment, and generates oil production control instructions based on the plan;

[0011] The downhole electric control component is based on the retractable and retractable kinetic energy output end of the surface electric control component and is arranged in a liftable manner inside the oil well. The downhole electric control component is respectively integrated with a positioning module and an electric drive switch module. The positioning module and the electric drive switch module are respectively connected to the surface electric control component through circuits. The positioning module locks the layer segment and adopts technical means to simultaneously obtain the production fluid, water content, and pressure data and further judge whether it meets the mining conditions, and sends it to the surface electric control component. The oil production control instruction is received by the electric drive switch module to complete the oil production switch action control.

[0012] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention is further described as follows:

[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the present invention further comprises:

[0014] The armor cable is connected between the ground electric control component and the downhole electric control component, and the two ends of the armor cable are respectively connected to the ground electric control component and the downhole electric control component through a circuit.

[0015] As a further embodiment of the present invention,

[0016] The ground electric control component is configured as a vehicle-mounted electric control component;

[0017] The vehicle-mounted electronic control assembly includes a vehicle-mounted power supply, a vehicle-mounted ground instrument cabinet, a ground control box, and a cable car connected by a circuit. The armor cable is wound around the retractable kinetic energy output end of the cable car, and the armor cable is connected to the transmission assembly of the downhole control instrument based on the cable car.

[0018] The armor cable is connected to the built-in control component of the ground control box via a circuit.

[0019] As a further embodiment of the present invention,

[0020] The positioning module and the electric drive switch module are respectively connected to the built-in control components of the ground control box through the armor cable through circuits;

[0021] The positioning module enables the on-board electronic control assembly to obtain the current layer of the downhole controller in real time. Simultaneously, the downhole controller positioning module and the electrically driven switch module monitor the real-time production and shutdown status of each production layer. Existing technologies are used to collect data on fluid production, water content, and pressure for each production layer, and based on this basic data, determine which production layers meet production conditions. The downhole controller then opens layers that meet production conditions and closes those that do not. The production status of each layer can be adjusted at any time based on dynamic changes in basic data, thereby maintaining a dynamically optimized production sequence for each layer. Compared to traditional data collection and control models, the acquisition of basic data on fluid production, water content, and pressure for each layer and the control of production status for each layer significantly shortens the time required, enabling real-time acquisition and control, significantly reducing costs, and significantly improving the intelligence of stratified production, the effectiveness of increasing oil production and reducing water content, and the overall practicality of its functionality.

[0022] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the present invention further comprises:

[0023] Tubing, packers, and inter-zone control components;

[0024] The oil pipe is arranged to extend vertically, and the packers and the inter-oil layer control components are provided in a plurality of groups. The plurality of groups of packers are fixedly arranged inside the oil pipe at intervals, so as to form a plurality of group of segmented oil layers based on the lower positions of the plurality of groups of packers. The plurality of groups of inter-oil layer control components are fixedly arranged in a plurality of group of segmented oil layers in a one-to-one correspondence, and the plurality of groups of inter-oil layer control components and the plurality of group of segmented oil layers are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence and controllably on and off.

[0025] The inter-oil layer control component is communicatively connected with the electric drive switch module of the downhole controller.

[0026] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the present invention further comprises:

[0027] An eccentric wellhead is connected to the top end of the oil pipe;

[0028] The eccentric wellhead is fixedly provided with a support pulley, and the armored cable is connected to the downhole controller transmission assembly after the cable car passes through the support pulley of the eccentric wellhead.

[0029] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the present invention further comprises:

[0030] A pump hanging assembly is installed inside the oil pipe;

[0031] The pump hanging assembly includes an oil pump connected to a surface oil pumping unit and a matching rod string. The oil pump is connected to a plurality of groups of oil layer regulating and controlling assemblies via its matching rod string.

[0032] A stratified production control method according to the oil well stratified production control device comprises the following steps:

[0033] Based on the planning of the established standard layered production sequence for each segmented oil layer, the standard production threshold range is set for each segmented oil layer;

[0034] The production, water content and pressure monitoring data of each segmented oil layer are obtained in real time, and the mining process is completed for the segmented oil layer that meets the mining standard threshold range.

[0035] As a further embodiment of the present invention,

[0036] The method of sequentially acquiring the basic data of production, water content, and pressure of each segmented oil layer in real time and completing the mining process for the segmented oil layer that meets the mining requirements specifically includes:

[0037] The vehicle-mounted electronic control unit controls the release or recovery of the armored cable, which in turn drives the downhole controller. The downhole controller locates a sub-layer oil layer based on its positioning module and in accordance with the standard stratified production sequence. At the same time, it uses technical means to obtain the production, water content, and pressure data of the current sub-layer oil layer and determines whether the layer meets the production conditions based on the data.

[0038] When it is determined that the mining conditions are met, the on-board electronic control component sends a signal to the electric drive switch module of the downhole controller to control the oil layer control component between the corresponding oil layers to open, thereby completing the mining process of the corresponding oil layer;

[0039] When it is determined that the oil pressure value of the current segmented oil layer does not meet the mining conditions, the next segmented oil layer is adjusted according to the standard layered mining order to always maintain the dynamic optimization of the mining order of each oil layer.

[0040] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0041] The device can effectively separate the established oil layers through the corresponding oil pipes of the packer, and can cooperate with the support pulley based on the eccentric wellhead, so that the downhole control instrument can be flexibly and accurately lowered into each oil layer section through the annular space of the oil pipe. At the same time, the electric drive switch module integrated in the downhole control instrument enables the on-board electronic control component to obtain the basic data of the liquid production, water content and pressure of the current layer in real time based on existing technology, and can further determine whether the mining conditions are met based on this data. In this way, the downhole control instrument sends signals to regulate the switching action of the control components between each oil layer, forming a closed-loop collaborative control system of "data acquisition-analysis-control". The oil production status of the corresponding layer sections between each oil layer is independently controllable, so that the mining sequence of each oil layer can be dynamically optimized at all times, avoiding the risks such as crossflow caused by interlayer pressure differences in traditional blind or sequential mining. Compared with the traditional manual control mode, the intelligence level of stratified mining, the oil increase and water reduction effect, and the overall functional practicality are significantly improved.
