Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of carbon dioxide injection well leakage detection, and particularly relates to a double acoustic wave downhole leakage point positioning system and method for a carbon dioxide injection well. BACKGROUND
[0002] Carbon dioxide flooding and storage (CCUS-EOR) can greatly improve oilfield recovery and achieve large-scale carbon sequestration, which is a key technical means to ensure national energy security and a bottom technology guarantee to achieve the "double carbon" goal. During the injection process of the carbon dioxide injection well, due to the high pressure of the injected fluid, the acidic corrosion conditions of carbon dioxide, and other factors, the tubing hanger, tubing thread, and packer, and other string sealing components are prone to leakage, which can easily cause sustained pressure in the annulus and corrosion of the oil casing, posing a threat to production safety and having a negative impact on the long-term service performance of the string. Precise positioning of the downhole tubing leakage location is a prerequisite for leakage evaluation and safety control.
[0003] The existing gas production well ground acoustic wave string leakage detection technology mainly installs acoustic wave sensors in the tubing and casing annulus to collect leakage acoustic wave signals in the annulus. However, most of the carbon dioxide injection well annulus contains annulus protection fluid of unknown depth. When the casing four-way junction wellhead device is disassembled to install acoustic wave sensors and collect acoustic wave data to release the annulus pressure, the annulus protection fluid may return and contaminate the acoustic wave sensors, causing the sensors to fail. The existing acoustic wave sensors use high-sensitivity diaphragms to sense the pressure movement in a sealed space (micro-pascal order), so the acoustic wave sensors used in the existing tubing leakage acoustic wave positioning technology have high requirements for wellhead detection conditions and are only suitable for oil and gas wells without annulus protection fluid returning to the annulus.
[0004] In summary, it is particularly important to design a tubing leakage acoustic wave positioning method and system that does not contaminate the sensors and is accurate. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application aims to provide a double acoustic wave downhole leakage point positioning system and method for a carbon dioxide injection well, which is used for tubing leakage location detection and tubing (or casing) liquid level detection in a carbon dioxide injection well.

The gas component detection result in the tubing (or casing) can provide data support for solving the wellhead acoustic velocity in the tubing (or casing), i.e., determining the acoustic velocity of the wellhead tubing (or casing) mixture according to the corresponding experimental data or theoretical formula, which ensures the data accuracy during liquid level and leakage location calculation.

[0047] Close the portable multi-component gas detection module and gas sampling bag outlet valve, and remove the gas sampling hose to end the gas component analysis.
[0048] Measuring the liquid level in the tubing (or casing)
[0049] Threadedly connect the left end of the tubing (or casing) liquid level detection module main body to the tubing (or casing) four-way valve at the wellhead of the carbon dioxide injection well, and keep the valve structure of the pressurizing structure closed.
[0050] Slowly open the tubing (or casing) four-way valve at the wellhead of the carbon dioxide injection well to test the sealing performance of the tubing (or casing) liquid level detection module.
[0051] After the tubing (or casing) liquid level detection module passes the sealing performance test, open the tubing (or casing) four-way valve at the wellhead of the carbon dioxide injection well and the valve structure of the pressurizing structure for inflation operation. When the tubing (or casing) liquid level detection module is full of gas and the pressure is stable, close the valve structure of the pressurizing structure.
[0052] The screw-in plug in the screw-in pressurizing structure pressurizes the non-expansion gas bag.
[0053] The valve structure of the pressurizing structure is rapidly opened to release pressure to generate a liquid level detection sound wave source, and the tubing (or casing) liquid level detection module collects temperature, pressure and sound wave signals.
[0054] After the data collection is completed, the tubing (or casing) four-way valve at the wellhead of the carbon dioxide injection well is closed, the pressure instrument cock valve at the tubing (or casing) four-way is opened to release the residual pressure gas, and the tubing (or casing) liquid level detection module is removed when the pressure is 0.
[0055] Measuring the tubing leakage position:
[0056] The left end of the tubing leakage sound wave detection module main body part is threadedly connected to the tubing four-way at the wellhead of the carbon dioxide injection well.
[0057] The tubing leakage sound wave detection module is slowly opened to test the sealing property.

The downhole leakage point positioning system in the present application considers this feature and uses the method of adding a sound wave sensor in the tubing to avoid liquid pollution of the sound wave sensor. The downhole tubing leakage sound wave positioning system in the present application can collect the leakage sound wave characteristic signals propagating along the tubing, analyze the tubing leakage sound wave characteristic signals to obtain the tubing leakage position, make up for the deficiency that the sound wave detection method applied in the annulus to detect the tubing leakage has high requirements on the wellhead detection conditions, and has technical feasibility.
[0062] The inventors also find that the influence of gas components in the casing gas on the sound wave propagation speed is not considered in the existing acoustic wave method for detecting the annulus liquid level or the leakage position at the wellhead, resulting in a large error between the calculated leakage position by the sound wave and the actual leakage position, and the accurate leakage point positioning cannot be achieved. The system of the present application comprises a portable multi-component gas detection module suitable for typical fluid medium components (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen) in the tubing and annulus of the carbon dioxide injection well, which can realize accurate measurement of the gas components at the wellhead, so as to correct the sound speed at the wellhead in the tubing and the casing.
[0063] The measurement data obtained by the present application can realize accurate measurement of the annulus liquid level of the carbon dioxide injection well and accurate positioning of the tubing leakage position underground.
[0064] Advantages:

The tubing liquid level detection result can provide parameter supplement for tubing leakage position detection data interpretation, i.e. accurately providing the liquid level position in the tubing. The gas component detection result in the tubing (or casing) can provide data support for solving the sound speed at the wellhead in the tubing (or casing), i.e. the gas components can solve the sound speed result of the mixture at the wellhead in the tubing (or casing) according to the corresponding experimental data or theoretical formula, which guarantees the data accuracy in the calculation of the liquid level and the leakage position.
