Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of monitoring, and in particular to a method for determining the monitoring location of a pressure sensor and related components. Background Technology

[0002] Tight oil and gas are important unconventional energy sources, characterized by low porosity, low permeability, and difficulty in extraction, necessitating large-scale hydraulic fracturing for development. Acquiring information on bottom-hole fracturing events and achieving monitoring and assessment of these events is a key issue during hydraulic fracturing.

[0003] Commonly used fracturing monitoring methods include microseismic monitoring, tracer analysis, and inter-well monitoring. While these technologies have been applied in fracturing field monitoring, each has its limitations. Microseismic monitoring struggles to distinguish between connected and disconnected fractures; tracers are expensive and radioactive; and inter-well monitoring requires additional processing steps. In summary, these methods suffer from high costs, complex operation, high construction difficulty, and limited real-time performance.

[0004] Water hammer pressure signal monitoring refers to the use of pressure waves induced by fluid oscillations within the wellbore during pump shutdown for monitoring and assessing bottom-hole fracturing events. The principle is that during pump shutdown, due to the inertia and compressibility of the fluid, when the wellhead pressure rapidly decreases, the fluid oscillates within the wellbore, generating pressure waves. These pressure waves propagate towards the bottom of the well and reflect, ultimately forming a series of attenuated pressure wave signals. Because wellbore parameters, formation parameters, and fracture parameters differ, the characteristics of water hammer pressure signals also vary. By collecting and analyzing these signals, bottom-hole fracturing events can be interpreted, thus enabling rapid fracturing monitoring and assessment. However, current water hammer pressure signal monitoring faces a key technical problem: the selection of sensor installation locations relies heavily on manual experience, lacking scientific evaluation methods. Signal quality varies significantly depending on the installation location; improper selection can lead to weak signals, high noise interference, and waveform distortion, severely impacting subsequent signal analysis and fracturing diagnosis.

[0070] The core of this invention is to provide a method for determining the monitoring location of a pressure sensor and related components. This solution considers that the pressure response signal of water hammer waves under different propagation paths is related to the characteristic parameters of the water hammer waves, and the characteristic parameters of the water hammer waves correspond to the signal quality at different pressure sensor locations. Therefore, this solution determines the optimal main monitoring location of the pressure sensor through the characteristic parameters of the water hammer waves, which improves the accuracy of the pressure sensor monitoring location determination result, and also improves the accuracy of subsequent signal analysis and fracturing diagnosis.

[0071] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This invention provides a process flowchart for determining the monitoring location of a pressure sensor. The method is applied to a controller in a sensor system, which further includes a first pressure sensor, a second pressure sensor, and a third pressure sensor. The first pressure sensor is positioned at the wellhead of an oil or gas well, the second pressure sensor is positioned at a first preset distance from the wellhead, and the third pressure sensor is positioned at a second preset distance from the pump truck of the oil or gas well. The method includes:

[0073] S11: Acquire the first pressure response signal, the second pressure response signal, and the third pressure response signal collected by the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, and the third pressure sensor, respectively. The first pressure response signal, the second pressure response signal, and the third pressure response signal are the pressure response signals of the water hammer wave under different propagation paths.

[0074] S12: Determine the characteristic parameters of the water hammer wave at the location of the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, and the third pressure sensor based on the first pressure response signal, the second pressure response signal, and the third pressure response signal, respectively. The characteristic parameters include: peak pressure, effective value, signal-to-noise ratio, waveform clarity, attenuation time stability, and coefficient of variation of the water hammer wave signal corresponding to the water hammer wave.

[0075] S13: Determine the optimal main monitoring position among the positions of the first pressure sensor, second pressure sensor, and third pressure sensor based on the preset evaluation criteria and the characteristic parameters of the water hammer waves at the locations of the first pressure sensor, second pressure sensor, and third pressure sensor.

[0076] In this invention, considering that the pressure response signal of water hammer wave under different propagation paths is related to the characteristic parameters of water hammer wave, and that the characteristic parameters of water hammer wave correspond to the signal quality at different pressure sensor locations, this scheme first obtains the first pressure response signal, second pressure response signal, and third pressure response signal collected by the first pressure sensor, second pressure sensor, and third pressure sensor in the sensor system, respectively. The pressure response signal represents the pressure response signal of water hammer wave under different propagation paths. Then, based on the first pressure response signal, second pressure response signal, and third pressure response signal, the characteristic parameters of the water hammer wave at the locations of the first pressure sensor, second pressure sensor, and third pressure sensor are determined. Finally, based on preset evaluation criteria and the characteristic parameters of the water hammer wave at the locations of the first pressure sensor, second pressure sensor, and third pressure sensor, the optimal main monitoring position among the locations of the first pressure sensor, second pressure sensor, and third pressure sensor is determined. That is, based on the principle that the characteristic parameters of water hammer wave correspond to the signal quality at different pressure sensor locations, the position corresponding to the pressure sensor with the best signal quality is selected as the optimal main monitoring position, thereby improving the accuracy of the pressure sensor monitoring position determination result and also improving the accuracy of subsequent signal analysis and fracturing diagnosis.

[0077] It should be noted that the specific steps for installing pressure sensors during fracturing operations are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the sensor system includes three water hammer monitoring locations: the wellhead (first sensor), a location 5m from the wellhead (second sensor), and a location 15m from the pump truck (third sensor). Each location is equipped with a standardized pressure sensor interface, and the three locations can be changed as needed; this application does not impose any specific limitations on these locations. Three high-frequency pressure sensors are installed at the three locations respectively to synchronously acquire pressure response signals of the water hammer along different propagation paths. The sensor system also includes a data acquisition module connected to the three sensors to receive and synchronously store the pressure response signals from the three locations in real time, recording the signal acquisition timestamps and location association information. The controller in the sensor system is used to extract the characteristic parameters of the water hammer at each location (including peak pressure, effective value, decay time, oscillation period, and dominant frequency). Based on a preset multi-dimensional evaluation system, the water hammer signal quality at the three locations is quantitatively scored and ranked, and the optimal primary monitoring location is selected based on the comprehensive quality score. In addition, the controller can also calculate the water hammer velocities of the first and second sensors, the first and third sensors, and the second and third sensors based on the water hammer wave velocity calculation method of the sensor array, and combine the signal quality ranking results of the signal analysis and evaluation module to calculate the array water hammer wave velocity through weight allocation.

[0078] It should also be noted that the solution provided by this invention has the following advantages: (1) Strong scientific rigor: It establishes a systematic signal quality evaluation system, eliminating the subjectivity of traditional manual experience in point selection; (2) Good practicality: The technical solution is simple and practical, requiring no complex equipment or algorithms, and adaptable to complex well site environments; (3) High reliability: Through multi-point comparison and repeated measurements, the reliability and stability of the results are improved; (4) Excellent cost-effectiveness: It helps optimize sensor configuration and reduces system costs while ensuring monitoring effectiveness; (5) Strong guidance: It provides a high-quality data foundation for subsequent water hammer signal analysis and fracturing diagnosis. Through the application of this invention, the quality and effect of water hammer signal monitoring can be significantly improved, providing more reliable technical support for fracturing construction.

[0079] This embodiment provides a method for determining the monitoring location of a pressure sensor. This method considers that the pressure response signal of a water hammer wave under different propagation paths is related to the characteristic parameters of the water hammer wave, and these characteristic parameters correspond to the signal quality at different pressure sensor locations. Therefore, this method first acquires the pressure response signal of each pressure sensor, then determines the characteristic parameters of the water hammer wave at each pressure sensor location based on the pressure response signal, and finally determines the optimal main monitoring location among the pressure sensor locations based on preset evaluation criteria and the characteristic parameters of the water hammer wave at each pressure sensor location. This improves the accuracy of the pressure sensor monitoring location determination result, and also improves the accuracy of subsequent signal analysis and fracturing diagnosis.

[0080] Based on the above embodiments:

[0081] As an optional embodiment, the optimal primary monitoring position among the locations of the first, second, and third pressure sensors is determined based on preset evaluation criteria and characteristic parameters of the water hammer waves at the locations of the first, second, and third pressure sensors, including:

[0082] Based on each characteristic parameter, determine the signal strength dimension value, noise interference dimension value, waveform integrity dimension value, and acquisition consistency dimension value of the location of the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, and the third pressure sensor, respectively.

[0083] The optimal main monitoring position among the locations of the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, and the third pressure sensor is determined based on the values ​​of each signal strength dimension, each noise interference dimension, each waveform integrity dimension, and each acquisition consistency dimension.

[0084] In this invention, considering that the signal strength, noise interference, waveform integrity, and acquisition consistency of the pressure sensor location are related to the signal quality of different pressure sensor locations, in order to select the location of the pressure sensor with the best signal quality as the optimal primary monitoring location, it is necessary to first determine the signal strength, noise interference, waveform integrity, and acquisition consistency of the first, second, and third pressure sensors based on each characteristic parameter. Then, based on each signal strength, noise interference, waveform integrity, and acquisition consistency value, the optimal primary monitoring location among the first, second, and third pressure sensors is determined, ensuring the integrity of the solution.

[0085] As an optional embodiment, the signal strength dimension value, noise interference dimension value, waveform integrity dimension value, and acquisition consistency dimension value of the locations of the first pressure sensor, second pressure sensor, and third pressure sensor are determined according to each characteristic parameter, including:

[0093] The acquisition consistency dimension value of the locations of the first, second, and third pressure sensors is determined based on the coefficient of variation of the water hammer wave signal and the sixth sub-weight.

[0094] In this invention, considering that the signal strength dimension corresponds to the peak pressure and RMS value of the water hammer wave signal, the noise interference dimension corresponds to the signal-to-noise ratio of the water hammer wave signal, the waveform integrity dimension corresponds to the waveform clarity and attenuation time stability of the water hammer wave signal, and the acquisition consistency dimension corresponds to the coefficient of variation of the water hammer wave signal, and that peak pressure, RMS value, signal-to-noise ratio, waveform clarity, attenuation time stability, and coefficient of variation each have their own corresponding weights, meaning that the correlation between peak pressure, RMS value, signal-to-noise ratio, waveform clarity, attenuation time stability, and coefficient of variation and the signal strength dimension, noise interference dimension, waveform integrity dimension, and acquisition consistency dimension are different, this scheme chooses to determine the sub-weights corresponding to peak pressure, RMS value, signal-to-noise ratio, waveform clarity, attenuation time stability, and coefficient of variation respectively, and then combine the specific values ​​of peak pressure, RMS value, signal-to-noise ratio, waveform clarity, attenuation time stability, and coefficient of variation to determine the signal strength dimension, noise interference dimension, waveform integrity dimension, and acquisition consistency dimension at the locations of the first pressure sensor, second pressure sensor, and third pressure sensor, thus ensuring the integrity of the scheme.

[0095] As an optional embodiment, the signal strength dimension values ​​at the locations of the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, and the third pressure sensor are determined based on the peak pressure of the water hammer signal, the effective value of the water hammer signal, the first sub-weight, and the second sub-weight, including:

[0098] The signal strength dimension value is determined based on the first sub-score, the second sub-score, the first sub-weight, and the second sub-weight.

[0099] Accordingly, based on the signal-to-noise ratio of the water hammer wave signal and the third sub-weight, the noise interference dimension values ​​of the locations of the first, second, and third pressure sensors are determined, including:

[0100] Determine the third magnitude relationship between the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the water hammer wave signal and the preset SNR, and determine the third sub-score corresponding to the SNR based on the third magnitude relationship;

[0104] The fifth magnitude relationship between the attenuation time stability of the water hammer wave signal and the preset attenuation time stability is determined, and the fifth sub-score corresponding to the attenuation time stability is determined based on the fifth magnitude relationship.

[0105] The waveform integrity dimension value is determined based on the fourth sub-score, the fifth sub-score, the fourth sub-weight, and the fifth sub-weight.

[0106] Accordingly, based on the coefficient of variation of the water hammer wave signal and the sixth sub-weight, the acquisition consistency dimension values ​​of the locations of the first, second, and third pressure sensors are determined, including:

[0107] Determine the sixth magnitude relationship between the coefficient of variation of the water hammer wave signal and the preset coefficient of variation, and determine the sixth sub-score corresponding to the coefficient of variation based on the sixth magnitude relationship;

[0108] The consistency dimension value is determined based on the sixth sub-score and the sixth sub-weight.

[0109] In this invention, considering that the sub-scores corresponding to peak pressure, RMS value, signal-to-noise ratio, waveform clarity, decay time stability, and coefficient of variation are related to their respective preset thresholds, for example, it is necessary to determine the first magnitude relationship between the peak pressure of the water hammer wave signal and the preset peak pressure, and then determine the first sub-score corresponding to the peak pressure based on the first magnitude relationship; therefore, it is necessary to first determine the sub-scores corresponding to peak pressure, RMS value, signal-to-noise ratio, waveform clarity, decay time stability, and coefficient of variation, and then combine the sub-weights corresponding to peak pressure, RMS value, signal-to-noise ratio, waveform clarity, decay time stability, and coefficient of variation, so as to accurately obtain the signal strength dimension value, noise interference dimension value, waveform integrity dimension value, and acquisition consistency dimension value of the locations of the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, and the third pressure sensor, thus ensuring the integrity of the solution.

[0110] As an optional embodiment, the optimal main monitoring position among the locations of the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, and the third pressure sensor is determined based on the values ​​of each signal strength dimension, each noise interference dimension, each waveform integrity dimension, and each acquisition consistency dimension, including:

[0111] Determine the first weight corresponding to the signal strength dimension value, the second weight corresponding to the noise interference dimension value, the third weight corresponding to the waveform integrity dimension value, and the fourth weight corresponding to the acquisition consistency dimension value;

[0112] The first score corresponding to the signal strength dimension value is determined based on the first weight and the signal strength dimension value.

[0113] The second score corresponding to the noise interference dimension value is determined based on the second weight and the noise interference dimension value.

[0114] The third score corresponding to the waveform integrity dimension value is determined based on the third weight and the waveform integrity dimension value.

[0115] The fourth score corresponding to the collection consistency dimension value is determined based on the fourth weight and the collection consistency dimension value.

[0116] Determine the scores and values ​​for the first, second, third, and fourth ratings;

[0117] The location of the pressure sensor corresponding to the maximum score and value of the first, second, and third pressure sensors is taken as the optimal primary monitoring location.

[0118] In this invention, to determine whether the location corresponding to the pressure sensor is the optimal primary monitoring location, a multi-dimensional evaluation system needs to be considered. This system includes the specific values ​​of signal strength, noise interference, waveform integrity, and acquisition consistency, as well as their correlation (weights) with the optimal primary monitoring location. Therefore, to ensure the rationality of the multi-dimensional evaluation system, it is necessary to first determine the first weight corresponding to the signal strength dimension, the second weight corresponding to the noise interference dimension, the third weight corresponding to the waveform integrity dimension, and the fourth weight corresponding to the acquisition consistency dimension. Then, by combining the determined first, second, third, and fourth weights with the specific values ​​of the signal strength, noise interference, waveform integrity, and acquisition consistency dimensions, the scores and values ​​corresponding to the first, second, and third pressure sensors can be obtained. Finally, the location of the pressure sensor with the maximum score and value is taken as the optimal primary monitoring location, thus improving the reliability and accuracy of the solution.

[0119] It should be noted that the multi-dimensional evaluation system adopted in this application includes four evaluation dimensions and corresponding weights. The indicators of each dimension are standardized to a score of 0-100, and then weighted and summed to obtain a comprehensive quality score, which is then divided into four quality levels:

[0120] (1) Signal strength dimension (weight 30%):

[0121] Peak pressure (PMAX): Weight 18%. Full marks are awarded when PMAX is ≥ 90% of the design value. 20 points are deducted for every 5% decrease. 0 points are awarded when PMAX is below 60%.

[0122] Effective Value (PRMS): Weighted at 12%, full marks are awarded when PRMS is ≥ 85% of the design value, 20 points are deducted for every 5% decrease, and 0 marks are awarded when PRMS is below 55%.

[0123] (2) Noise Interference Level Dimension (Weight 25%):

[0124] Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR): Full marks are awarded when SNR is ≥ 30dB, 50 points are deducted for every 5dB decrease, and 0 marks are awarded when SNR is below 20dB;

[0125] (3) Waveform integrity dimension (weight 30%):

[0126] Waveform clarity (C): Weight 15%, full marks are obtained when C≥90, 20 points are deducted for every 5 points decrease, and 0 marks are obtained when C is below 65;

[0127] Decay Time Stability (T50): Weight 15%, full marks are given when T50 fluctuation is ≤5%, 30 marks are deducted for every 2% increase, and 0 marks are given if it exceeds 15%;

[0129] Coefficient of variation (CV): Full marks are awarded when CV ≤ 3%, 25 marks are deducted for each additional 1%, and 0 marks are awarded when CV exceeds 10%.

[0130] The overall quality rating criteria are as follows:

[0131] Excellent (≥85 points): All individual indicators reach more than 80% of the full score in this dimension;

[0132] Good grade (70-84 points): Signal strength ≥75%, noise interference ≥70%, waveform integrity ≥75%, acquisition consistency ≥70%;

[0133] Intermediate (55-69 points): Signal strength ≥60%, noise interference ≥55%, waveform integrity ≥60%, acquisition consistency ≥55%;

[0134] Poor grade (<55 points): Signal quality that does not meet the intermediate standard.

[0135] As an optional embodiment, after determining the optimal main monitoring position among the locations of the first, second, and third pressure sensors based on preset evaluation criteria and the characteristic parameters of the water hammer waves at the locations of the first, second, and third pressure sensors, the method further includes:

[0136] The first time difference at which the water hammer phenomenon occurs at the corresponding positions of the first sensor and the second sensor is determined. The first sensor refers to the pressure sensor ranked first according to the preset evaluation criteria, and the second sensor refers to the pressure sensor ranked second according to the preset evaluation criteria.

[0137] The second time difference at which water hammer occurs at the corresponding positions of the first and third sensors is determined; the third sensor refers to the pressure sensor ranked third according to the preset evaluation criteria.

[0138] Determine the third time difference between the locations where water hammer occurs at the corresponding positions of the second and third sensors;

[0139] Determine the first linear mounting distance between the first sensor and the second sensor;

[0140] Determine the second linear mounting distance between the first sensor and the third sensor;

[0141] Determine the third linear mounting distance between the second and third sensors;

[0142] The first water hammer wave velocity, the second water hammer wave velocity, and the third water hammer wave velocity at the corresponding positions of the first and second sensors are determined based on the first time difference, the second time difference, the third time difference, the first linear installation distance, the second linear installation distance, and the third linear installation distance, respectively.

[0143] The array water hammer velocity is determined based on the first water hammer velocity, the second water hammer velocity, the third water hammer velocity, the fifth weight corresponding to the first sensor, the sixth weight corresponding to the second sensor, and the seventh weight corresponding to the third sensor.

[0144] In this invention, considering that the water hammer wave velocities corresponding to the first, second, and third pressure sensors are related to the subsequent water hammer wave signal processing scheme, this scheme, after determining the optimal main monitoring position among the positions of the first, second, and third pressure sensors, will also determine the time difference of the occurrence of water hammer phenomena at the corresponding positions of the three pressure sensors according to the ranking of preset evaluation criteria, determine the straight-line installation distance between the three pressure sensors, and determine the water hammer wave velocity between the three sensors based on the corresponding time difference and straight-line installation distance, and finally determine the array water hammer wave velocity corresponding to the three pressure sensors, which facilitates the determination of the subsequent water hammer wave signal processing scheme.

[0145] As an optional embodiment, the first water hammer wave velocity, the second water hammer wave velocity, and the third water hammer wave velocity at the corresponding positions of the first and second sensors are determined based on the first time difference, the second time difference, the third time difference, the first linear installation distance, the second linear installation distance, and the third linear installation distance, respectively, including:

[0146] The ratio of the first linear installation distance to the first time difference is taken as the first water hammer wave velocity;

[0147] The ratio of the second linear installation distance to the second time difference is taken as the second water hammer wave velocity;

[0148] The ratio of the third straight-line installation distance to the third time difference is taken as the third water hammer wave velocity.

[0149] In this invention, the ratio of the first linear installation distance to the first time difference is used as the first water hammer wave velocity. Similarly, the ratio of the second linear installation distance to the second time difference is used as the second water hammer wave velocity, and the ratio of the third linear installation distance to the third time difference is used as the third water hammer wave velocity. This accurately obtains the first water hammer wave velocity at the corresponding positions of the first and second sensors, the second water hammer wave velocity at the corresponding positions of the first and third sensors, and the third water hammer wave velocity at the corresponding positions of the second and third sensors, ensuring the integrity of the solution.

[0150] It should be noted that the water hammer wave velocity calculation method based on the sensor array calculates the water hammer wave velocity using signal data from three sensors. Specifically, this includes: determining the time difference between the occurrence of water hammer phenomena at the first and second sensors, the first and third sensors, and the second and third sensors (by comparing the timestamp difference of the characteristic peak value of the first water hammer wave); clarifying the installation spacing between each sensor (the straight-line distance between the first and second sensors is 5m from the wellhead, the straight-line distance between the first and third sensors is 15m from the wellhead to the pump truck, and the straight-line distance between the second and third sensors is 5m from the wellhead to the pump truck); calculating the water hammer wave velocity between each pair of sensors (a12=d12 / t12, a13=d13 / t13, a23=d23 / t23); and combining the signal quality ranking results from the signal analysis and evaluation module, weighting the wave velocities of the first and second sensors, the first and third sensors, and the combination of the second and third sensors with weights of 0.6, 0.3, and 0.1 to obtain the array water hammer wave velocity a0. For example, if the signal quality is ranked as sensor X > sensor Y > sensor Z, then the water hammer wave velocity of the combination of the first and second sensors is aXY, the water hammer wave velocity of the combination of the first and third sensors is aXZ, the water hammer wave velocity of the combination of the second and third sensors is aYZ, and the array water hammer wave velocity a0: a0 = 0.6 × aXY + 0.3 × aXZ + 0.1 × aYZ.
