Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas drilling and production equipment technology, and more specifically to an ultra-high temperature multi-tube real-time control layered and segmented injection and production and long-term monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Offshore heavy oil reserves are abundant, deeply buried, and highly viscous. Thermal recovery methods can significantly improve heavy oil recovery rates. Currently, the main methods for offshore heavy oil thermal recovery include steam injection, multi-component thermal fluids, and steam drive. Since 2021, several heavy oil thermal recovery platforms, such as Luda 21-2, Luda 5-2N, Luda 5-2C, and Jinzhou 23-2, have been put into production, and the number of thermal recovery wells has been increasing year by year, now entering a stage of large-scale development. Heavy oil thermal recovery well types have expanded from horizontal wells with large well spacing and long well sections to multi-level, highly deviated directional wells. Most horizontal thermal recovery wells have completed 3-4 rounds of steam injection operations, and uneven gas intake in the horizontal sections is gradually becoming apparent. Uneven steam injection also exists in multi-level directional wells. Therefore, implementing precise control of steam injection and fluid production, as well as long-term monitoring technology, is particularly important for horizontal wells with large well spacing and long well sections, and multi-level, highly deviated directional wells. Effective real-time control and monitoring technologies are urgently needed to ensure injection and production effects and support efficient heavy oil development. However, existing injection and production and monitoring technologies cannot meet the requirements for precise control of steam injection and production fluid and long-term monitoring of directional wells. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an ultra-high temperature real-time control layered and segmented injection and production and long-term monitoring technology device. Summary of the Invention

The steam injection and fluid production channel switching valve 108 is concentrically connected to a primary independent injection and production tubing string 109, a secondary independent injection and production tubing string 110, and an inner working tubing string 201 inserted into a seal. The lower end of the primary independent injection-production tubing 109 is connected to the primary insertion seal 401, and the primary independent injection-production tubing 109 is inserted into the inner working cylinder of the top packer 301. The lower end of the secondary independent injection and production tubing 110 is connected to the secondary insertion seal 402, and the secondary independent injection and production tubing 110 is inserted into the inner working cylinder of the secondary isolation packer 304; The inner working tubing 201 of the insertion seal is connected to the inner working tubing 111 of the three-stage independent injection and production tubing through the interference fit insertion seal 202. The three-stage independent injection and production tubing 111 is connected in sequence to the perforated tubing 112 and the round plug 113. The outer wall of the three-stage independent injection and production tubing 111 is connected to the three-stage insertion seal 403. The three-stage independent injection and production tubing 111 is inserted into the inner working cylinder of the three-stage isolation packer 403. Multiple independent steam injection and fluid production channels are evenly distributed circumferentially inside the steam injection and fluid production channel switching valve 108. A high-temperature long-term monitoring cable passage is installed through the central axis of the steam injection and fluid production channel switching valve 108. The steam injection and fluid production channels are connected to the first-level independent injection and production tubing string 109, the second-level independent injection and production tubing string 110, and the inner working tubing string 201 inserted into the seal, respectively. The high-temperature long-term monitoring cable passage contains a high-temperature long-term monitoring cable 404, which passes through the large tubing hanger 101, the high-temperature production packer 103, the tubing inside and outside crossing section 106, the steam injection and fluid production channel switching valve 108, the inner working tubing string 201 inserted into the seal, and the third-level independent injection and production tubing string 111 in sequence.

[0013] The open-type telescopic section 107 is a tensile-resistant open telescopic structure.

[0014] The high-temperature long-life monitoring cable 404 is fixed inside the round plug 113 by the high-temperature long-life monitoring cable fixer 405.

The steam injection / liquid production channel switching valve 108 controls the flow paths of the primary flow channel 503, secondary flow channel 504, and tertiary flow channel 505 by controlling the opening and closing of the channel-sealed metal ball valve 502. This provides real-time feedback on the heavy oil status in the corresponding primary independent injection / production tubing 109, secondary independent injection / production tubing 110, and the inserted sealed working tubing 201. Furthermore, the steam injection / liquid production channel switching valve 108 can employ an all-metal seal and either hydraulic or electrical control for its switching actuator. It has an overall temperature resistance rating of ≥370℃ and a pressure resistance rating of ≥21MPa, enabling real-time, precise control of ultra-high temperature, stratified, and segmented injection / production.
