AI Technical Summary
During downhole monitoring, existing pulsed neutron dynamic saturation element monitors are prone to getting stuck when the centralizer comes into contact with a protrusion on the well wall, preventing the monitor from descending further and affecting the detection results.
The device employs a centralizer design that includes a first ring, a second ring, and an elastic plate. The elastic plate bends and slides when it contacts a protrusion on the well wall, and passes over the protrusion through deformation. Combined with a one-way mechanism and drive components, this ensures that the monitoring instrument descends smoothly and can be temporarily fixed in the well when needed.
This effectively avoids situations where the stabilizer and detection rod are stuck by protrusions in the well wall, ensuring that the monitoring instrument can be lowered smoothly and subsequent detection can be carried out, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of data acquisition.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of reservoir monitoring technology, specifically to a pulsed neutron dynamic saturation element monitor. Background Technology
[0002] Existing pulsed neutron dynamic saturation element monitoring instruments are equipped with neutron generators, gamma-ray detectors, and multiple other detectors. When the instrument extends downhole, it emits pulsed high-energy neutrons into the formation. The neutrons undergo inelastic scattering and thermal neutron capture with the formation atomic nuclei. The detectors use time-gated technology to separate and collect the inelastic scattering gamma spectrum and the captured gamma spectrum. The spectrum is analyzed to extract the count rate or ratio of key element characteristic peaks. The element ratio is then converted into oil saturation (So) and water saturation (Sw) to determine water salinity and distinguish fluid types. Furthermore, by performing time-lapse measurements at fixed locations and comparing the saturation calculation results at different times, the dynamic changes in reservoir fluid saturation are monitored.
[0003] For example, patent CN211422629U, published on September 4, 2020, discloses a downhole reservoir monitoring instrument, relating to the technical field of stratification monitoring and control devices in oilfield production. It includes an upper connector, a circuit board, a pressure sensor, a lower connector, a resistivity tomography device, a power supply unit, a data acquisition and control unit, a conduit, threads, a well casing, and a production pipe. The upper connector is located at the upper end of the production pipe, and the lower connector is located at the lower end of the production pipe. The production pipe is connected to the upper and lower connectors via threads. A conduit is located on one edge of the production pipe, and a circuit board is located on the other edge. The pressure sensor is fixed to the bottom of the upper connector and electrically connected to the circuit board via the conduit. The well casing is fitted over the production pipe and spaced apart from it. A resistivity tomography device is located on the side of the upper connector. The resistivity tomography device is connected to the power supply unit and the data acquisition and control unit located on the surface via data lines and cables, used to transmit the data collected by the resistivity tomography device to the data acquisition and control unit on the surface for analysis.
[0004] In existing downhole monitoring instruments, the instrument is suspended by a cable and descends at a constant speed by controlling the cable. Since the instrument monitors reservoir saturation by utilizing the interaction between neutrons and formation atomic nuclei (such as neutron capture and inelastic scattering) and receiving formation response signals through a gamma-ray detector, eccentricity can lead to neutron flux distortion and gamma-ray detection inaccuracies. Therefore, current technology incorporates a centralizer to keep the instrument centered within the well. However, most existing centralizers are fixed designs, such as casing-type elastic centralizers and rigid spiral centralizers. These centralizers remain flush with the wellbore wall during downhole movement. When they encounter protrusions on the wellbore, they are prone to jamming, preventing further descent and impacting subsequent downhole monitoring. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: In the above technical solution, when the elastic sheet of the present invention contacts the protrusion on the well wall during the descent process, due to the sliding arrangement of the lower end of the elastic sheet, the elastic sheet bends as a whole away from the protrusion under the contact of the protrusion, and the lower end of the elastic sheet slides on the second ring, so that the arc-shaped elastic sheet is radially bent and contracted.

In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a pulsed neutron dynamic saturation element monitor, including a detection rod 1, a centralizer 2 sleeved on the detection rod 1, the centralizer 2 including a first collar 21, a second collar 22 and an elastic sheet 23, the first collar 21 and the second collar 22 are both sleeved on the outer wall of the detection rod 1, the upper end of the elastic sheet 23 is connected to the first collar 21, and the lower end is slidably connected to the second collar 22.
[0029] Specifically, the detection rod 1 includes a remote transmission section 11 and a data acquisition generator section 12 connected to each other. The upper end of the data acquisition generator section 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the remote transmission section 11. The upper end of the remote transmission section 11 is mounted on a lifting lug 13, and the cable is secured to the lifting lug 13. The cable suspending the detection rod 1 extends into the remote transmission section 11 and connects to it. The remote transmission section 11 encodes and transmits the data acquired by the data acquisition generator to the ground via the cable. The data acquisition generator includes a detection mechanism, which can be a gamma detector, a neutron detector, or a temperature or pressure detector. The sensor and detection mechanism are used to acquire formation physical response signals in real time. The remote transmission short circuit and the acquisition generator short circuit are common components in pulsed neutron dynamic saturation element monitors and are existing technologies, so they will not be elaborated upon. Two sets of centralizers 2 are installed at the upper and lower ends of the detection rod 1, respectively, on the remote transmission short section 11 and the acquisition generator short section 12. The centralizers 2 are detachably connected to the detection rod 1. Each set of centralizers 2 has four sets of elastic plates 23, which have an arc-shaped structure. The first ring 21 and the second ring 22 are composed of two sets of U-shaped connecting plates, such as... Figure 2As shown, the connecting pieces have screw holes at both ends. In actual use, before the detection rod 1 is inserted into the well, the centralizer 2 needs to be installed on the detection rod 1. This involves attaching the two sets of connecting pieces that make up the first and second casings to the outer wall of the detection rod 1. Then, the two sets of opposing connecting pieces are connected by bolts, forming the first and second rings 21 and fitting onto the detection rod 1. At this point, the centralizer 2 is successfully installed on the detection rod 1. When the detection rod 1 is inserted into the well, the centralizer 2 extends into the well synchronously. The elastic plates 23 in the centralizer 2 contact the well wall. The multiple sets of elastic plates 23 correct the detection rod 1 to the center position of the well, improving the accuracy of data acquisition from the data acquisition generator section 12 in the detection rod 1. Secondly, during the descent of the detection rod 1 and the stabilizer 2, when the elastic plate 23 contacts the protrusion on the well wall during descent, due to the sliding setting of the lower end of the elastic plate 23, the elastic plate 23 bends towards the side away from the protrusion under the contact of the protrusion. The lower end of the elastic plate 23 slides on the second ring 22, so that the arc-shaped elastic plate 23 is radially bent and contracted. At this time, the distance between the two ends of the elastic plate 23 is lengthened, and the distance between the middle part and the central axis of the detection rod 1 is shortened. After contraction, the elastic plate 23 passes over the protrusion. Through the deformation of the elastic plate 23 and the sliding of the lower end, the stabilizer 2 can smoothly pass over the protrusion on the well wall, avoiding the protrusion on the well wall from causing the stabilizer 2 and the detection rod 1 to be stuck in the well, so that the detection rod 1 can smoothly carry out subsequent detection.
[0030] Furthermore, the outer wall of the second ring 22 is provided with a first groove 221, and a first slider 222 is provided in the first groove 221. The first slider 222 and the first groove 221 form a sliding guide fit. The lower end of the elastic piece 23 is connected to the first slider 222. Both the first slider 222 and the first slider 222 are T-shaped. The length direction of the first slider 222 and the groove direction of the first groove 221 are consistent with the axial direction of the second ring 22. In actual use, when the middle part of the elastic piece 23 is abutted by a protrusion on the well wall, the lower end of the elastic piece 23 pushes the first slider 222 to slide in the first groove 221. 2. The lower end of the sliding adaptation elastic sheet 23 slides within the first slide groove 221. Then, after the elastic sheet 23 passes the protrusion, the elastic sheet 23 itself begins to reset and drives the first slider 222 to reset and slide within the first slide groove 221. Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present invention, the lower end of the elastic sheet 23 is rotatably connected to the first slider 222. That is, when the first slider 222 slides within the first slide groove 221, the lower end of the elastic sheet 23 will rotate adaptively on the first slider 222, thus avoiding the first slider 222 being stuck in the first slide groove 221 due to the stretching and descent of the lower end of the elastic sheet 23 when the elastic sheet 23 is fixedly connected to the first slider 222.
[0031] In the prior art, due to the combined influence of geological conditions, engineering design, and operation process, oil wells may have varying diameters. That is, when the detection rod 1 and the stabilizer 2 descend vertically in the oil well, they may move from a wider part of the oil well to a narrower part. Although in the above embodiment, the diameter of the stabilizer 2 can be reduced by the deformation of the elastic sheet 23, allowing the stabilizer 2 to enter the narrower oil well, the elastic force of the elastic sheet 23 itself, i.e., the reset of the elastic sheet 23 after deformation, will increase the friction between the stabilizer 2 and the oil well wall. As the friction increases, the stabilizer 2 and the detection rod 1 may get stuck in the narrower part of the oil well, thus preventing the detection rod 1 from continuing to descend for detection. Therefore, in another embodiment of the present invention, a one-way mechanism 3 is further provided in the first slide groove 221. The one-way mechanism 3 cooperates with the first slider 222 to restrict its reset and rise after the first slider 222 descends.
[0032] Specifically, based on the above embodiments, the descent of the lower end of the elastic plate 23 will cause the first slider 222 to descend synchronously within the first groove 221. Similarly, when the elastic plate 23 resets under its own elastic force, the reset and rise of the lower end of the elastic plate 23 will also cause the first slider 222 to rise within the first groove 221. In actual use, when the centralizer 2 and the detection rod 1 descend from the wider part to the narrower part of the oil well, the elastic plate 23 will be forced to contract radially with the radial direction of the oil well. At this time, the first slider 222 slides within the first groove 221. At this time, due to the setting of the one-way mechanism 3, after the first slider 222 descends within the first groove 221, the first slider 222 is restricted by the one-way mechanism 3 and cannot reset and rise. That is, the elastic plate 23 cannot be radially stretched, that is, the elastic plate 23 cannot reset. The elastic plate 23 cannot use its own elastic force to increase the friction between itself and the oil well wall during radial contraction, thereby reducing the situation where the centralizer 2 and the detection rod 1 are stuck in the narrower part of the oil well after the elastic plate 23 is deformed.
[0033] In an optional embodiment, preferably, the one-way mechanism 3 includes a wedge 31 and a spring 33. A receiving groove 32 is radially opened in the first sliding groove 221. The wedge 31 is inside the receiving groove 32 and forms a sliding guide fit with the receiving groove 32. The wedge 31 is dynamically sealed to the groove wall of the receiving groove 32. One end of the spring 33 is connected to the wedge 31 and the other end is connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove 32.
[0034] Specifically, a groove 223 is provided on the side of the first slider 222 near the central axis of the second ring 22. The first slider 222 is initially positioned above the wedge 31 and is spaced apart from the wedge 31. This spacing ensures that the elastic plate 23 will not contact the wedge 31 when it undergoes small deformation in the face of the protrusion. When the stabilizer 2 and the detection rod 1 move to a narrower part of the oil well, the stabilizer 2 is compressed radially by the well wall, i.e., the elastic plate 23 contracts radially. The lower end of the elastic plate 23 drives the first slider 222 to slide in the first groove 221. When the first slider 222 descends to a certain extent, it contacts the inclined surface of the wedge and forms a wedge-shaped fit with the wedge 31. The descent of the first slider 222 squeezes the wedge 31 into the receiving groove 32. After the lower end of the first slider 222 passes the wedge 31, the groove 223 on the back of the first slider 222... 3. Move to the opening of the receiving groove 32. At this time, the wedge 31 loses the resistance of the first slider 222. The spring 33 begins to reset and pushes the wedge 31 out of the receiving groove 32. At this time, one end of the wedge 31 enters the groove 223. At this time, the lower groove wall of the groove 223 and the vertical surface of the wedge 31 form abutment. Under this abutment, the first slider 222 cannot slide in the first slide groove 221. That is, the lower end of the elastic plate 23 cannot reset and rise. The elastic plate 23 as a whole cannot reset after deformation. That is, the elastic plate 23 will not give the well wall additional squeezing force, thereby reducing the friction between the elastic plate 23 and the well wall, reducing the situation where the centralizer 2 and the detection rod 1 are stuck in the well. In this embodiment, multiple sets of wedges 31 are provided. Multiple sets of wedges 31 are equidistantly distributed along the groove direction of the first slide groove 221. Multiple sets of wedges 31 correspond to different heights of the descent of the first slider 222, that is, corresponding to the centralizer 2 entering oil wells of different diameters.
[0035] In another embodiment of the present invention, in the first slide groove 221, the second collar 22 is slidably connected to the detection rod 1, and the detection rod 1 is equipped with a drive assembly 17, which is used to drive the second collar 22 to move vertically up and down on the detection rod 1.
[0036] Specifically, a second groove 15 is formed on the outer wall of the detection rod 1, and a second slider 14 is installed in the second groove 15. The second slider 14 and the second groove 15 form a sliding guide fit. A sealing plate 16 is provided inside the detection rod 1. One end of the second slider 14 is connected to the sealing plate 16. The sealing plate 16 is dynamically sealed to the inner wall of the detection rod 1. The drive assembly 17 is connected to the sealing plate 16. The length and width of the sealing plate 16 are both greater than the width and length of the second groove 15. The sealing plate 16 can be positioned within the second groove 15 of the second slider 14. During the sliding process, the opening on the side of the second slide groove 15 closest to the central axis of the detection rod 1 is always blocked to prevent liquids, particles, etc. from entering the detection rod 1 through the second slide groove 15, thus avoiding damage to the various components inside the detection rod 1. The drive assembly 17 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the detection rod 1. The drive assembly 17 can be a linear drive mechanism such as an electric push rod or a cylinder. A limit groove 227 is opened on the inner wall of the second collar 22. One end of the second slider 14 is located in the limit groove 227 and forms a limit abutment cooperation with the limit groove 227.
[0037] In actual use, during the installation of the second collar 22, the two connecting pieces that make up the second collar 22 are respectively installed on the two second sliders 14 on the detection rod 1, so that one end of the second slider 14 enters the limiting groove 227. After the two connecting pieces are connected by bolts to form the second collar 22, the second collar 22 is installed on the detection rod 1 through the second slider 14. The inner wall of the second collar 22 does not directly contact the outer wall of the detection rod 1, but there is a certain distance between them. Therefore, when the drive mechanism drives the second slider 14 to slide and rise in the second slide groove 15 through the sealing plate 16, the sliding of the second slider 14 can smoothly drive the lower end of the elastic plate 23 to rise synchronously. As the lower end of the elastic plate 23 actively rises, the elastic plate 23 opens... Initially, the elastic sheet 23 is stretched radially, gradually bending, with its middle part moving towards the well wall. At this time, the deformation of the four sets of elastic sheets 23 simultaneously applies pressure to the well wall, providing friction between the elastic sheet 23 and the well wall. The deformation of the elastic sheet 23 limits and supports the detection rod 1 in the well. When the detection rod 1 detects an abnormality in a certain section of the well, such as a sudden change in saturation or a sudden increase in water content during the monitoring process, the detection rod 1 can be temporarily fixed in the well by the deformation of the elastic sheet 23. After monitoring, the drive component 17 drives the second slider 14 to reset and move, and drives the elastic sheet 23 to reset and move. At this time, after the elastic sheet 23 resets, it loses the pressure on the well wall, and the entire centralizer 2 and the detection rod 1 can continue to descend in the well.
[0038] In order to prevent the one-way mechanism 3 from affecting the rise of the lower end of the elastic plate 23 driven by the second ring 22, in this embodiment, the second ring 22 further includes an inner ring 224 and an outer ring 225. The inner ring 224 is used to lock the one-way mechanism 3 during the rising process.
[0039] Specifically, a limiting groove 227 is formed on the outer wall of the inner ring 224, which is slidably connected to the outer ring 225. The first slider 222 and the first sliding groove 221 are located on the outer ring 225. A through hole 226 is formed inside the inner ring 224, which corresponds to the receiving groove 32. The wedge 31 is dynamically sealed to the groove wall of the receiving groove 32, that is, the outer wall of the wedge 31 is provided with a sealing ring. The wedge 31 forms a dynamic seal connection with the receiving groove 32 through the sealing ring. By setting the dynamic seal, liquid and particles in the well can be prevented from entering the receiving groove 32, thereby affecting the movement of the wedge 31 in the receiving groove 32.
[0040] In the initial state, that is, when the second slider 14 has not yet slid in the second slide groove 15, the through hole 226 is connected to the receiving groove 32. At this time, when the first slider 222 slides in the first slide groove 221, the contact between the first slider 222 and the wedge 31 will force the wedge 31 to retract into the receiving groove 32. The inner wall of the outer ring 225 is provided with a guide groove 228, and the inner ring 224 is provided with a guide block 229 on the side wall near the outer ring 225. One end of the guide block 229 is located in the guide groove 228 and forms a sliding guide engagement with the guide groove 228. The guide block 229 is initially located at the lower end of the guide groove 228.
[0041] When the drive assembly 17 drives the second slider 14 to slide within the second slide groove 15, the rise of the second slider 14 causes the inner ring 224 to rise, while the outer ring 225 remains stationary under the support of the elastic sheet 23. At this time, the inner ring 224 and the outer ring 225 move relative to each other. The inner ring 224 slides on the outer ring 225, and the guide block 229 on the inner ring 224 slides and rises within the guide groove 228 of the outer ring 225 until the guide block 229 moves from the lower end of the guide groove 228 to the upper end of the guide groove 228. The block cannot continue to slide within the guide groove 228. Simultaneously, the perforation 226 and the receiving groove 32 are misaligned. The plate portion of the inner ring 224 moves to the end of the receiving groove 32 away from the wedge block 31. That is, the moved inner ring 224 blocks the end of the receiving groove 32 away from the wedge block 31. As the wedge block 31 moves into the receiving groove 32 and compresses the space within it, the dynamic seal between the wedge block 31 and the receiving groove 32 prevents air from flowing out of the blocked receiving groove 32 as the wedge block 31 moves. With one end open for discharge, the wedge 31 cannot slide within itself at this time, meaning the one-way mechanism 3 is locked. During the subsequent continuous rise of the second slider 14, the inner ring 224 drives the outer ring 225 to rise synchronously. During the rise, the inclined surface of the wedge 31 contacts the lower end of the first slider 222. Because the one-way mechanism 3 is locked, the wedge 31 cannot retract into the receiving groove 32. Therefore, although the inclined surface of the wedge 31 contacts the lower end of the first slider 222, the inclined surface of the wedge 31 will also push the first slider 222 to rise synchronously, instead of retracting into the inner wall of the receiving groove 32. Thus, in this embodiment, the one-way mechanism 3 not only restricts the one-way movement of the first slider 222, but also overcomes the wedge-shaped fit with the first slider 222 during its own rise and drives the first slider 222 to rise synchronously. As the first slider 222 rises, the lower end of the elastic sheet 23 rises synchronously with the first slider 222, thereby achieving the effect of temporarily fixing the detection rod 1 in the well by the stabilizer 2.
[0042] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
