Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas drilling and production engineering technology, specifically a method for intelligent monitoring and failure evaluation of cement sheath characteristic parameters in hydrogen storage wells under high-frequency cyclic injection and production. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of the "dual-carbon" strategy, hydrogen energy, as a core carrier of zero-carbon energy, has seen its large-scale underground storage (hydrogen storage wells) become a key infrastructure in the energy strategy. Unlike conventional oil and gas wells, hydrogen storage wells face high-frequency, large-amplitude cyclic injection and production operations, leading to the coupling effect of alternating loads and hydrogen-induced damage on the cement sheath. Its failure mode has shifted from static strength failure to dynamic fatigue damage accumulation. The direct consequence of this damage is the synergistic deterioration of the cement sheath's mechanical properties (compressive / tensile strength, Young's modulus, interfacial bonding strength) and sealing performance (permeability, gas breakthrough pressure), ultimately forming hydrogen leakage channels and triggering serious safety accidents.
[0003] Currently, cement sheath failure evaluation technology suffers from two fundamental limitations: First, traditional logging methods (such as CBL / VDL) are offline, static assessments that cannot capture the dynamic damage evolution of the cement sheath throughout its entire lifespan. Second, some existing evaluation methods (such as the published patent CN120251191A) primarily rely on mechanical theoretical models for stress and strain calculations. However, in the complex environment of hydrogen storage wells, where high-frequency cycling and chemical corrosion are coupled, theoretical models struggle to accurately determine the material constitutive relationship and damage threshold, leading to significant discrepancies between evaluation results and actual conditions, thus hindering accurate early warning.
[0004] While distributed fiber optic sensing technology can acquire data in real time and online, accurately correlating these monitored physical signals (strain, acoustic emission) with the actual mechanical / sealing performance of cement rings represents a key technological gap in moving from "monitoring" to "diagnosis." Current technologies cannot construct such quantitative relationship maps based on real experimental data, preventing advanced sensing technologies from outputting decision-making conclusions that can be directly used for risk assessment.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method specifically designed for hydrogen storage wells. This method can not only utilize optical fibers for online monitoring, but also fundamentally solve the scientific problem of "how to establish a quantitative relationship between optical fiber dynamic data and cement sheath characteristic parameters based on real physical experiments." This would enable a leap from theoretical prediction to data-driven approaches, providing reliable technical support for the long-term safe operation of hydrogen storage wells. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent monitoring and failure evaluation method for the characteristic parameters of cement sheath in hydrogen storage wells under high-frequency cyclic injection and production, so as to solve the technical problem in the prior art that relies on theoretical models and is difficult to evaluate the characteristic parameters of cement sheath under the coupled effect of high-frequency cycling and hydrogen-induced damage in real time and quantitatively.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an intelligent monitoring and failure evaluation method for cement sheath characteristic parameters in hydrogen storage wells under high-frequency cyclic injection and production. The method is characterized by fully considering two failure modes (mechanical performance failure and sealing performance failure) of the cement sheath under the coupled effects of cyclic loading and hydrogen-induced damage. Through system experiments, a quantitative relationship diagram is constructed with fiber optic characteristic parameters as input and cement sheath mechanical and sealing performance indicators as output. Data monitored online using fiber optic technology is input into the diagram to achieve intelligent monitoring and failure evaluation of cement sheath characteristic parameters. The specific technical solution adopted is as follows.
[0008] Step 1: Obtain the wellbore structure, cement slurry formula, and injection / production parameters of the on-site hydrogen storage well (including temperature, pressure, loading / unloading rate, number of cycles, frequency, and peak duration).
[0009] Step 2: Based on the parameters obtained in Step 1, a full-size experimental device consisting of a "production sleeve-cement ring-technical sleeve" assembly is prepared. Before pouring the cement slurry, a corrosion-resistant distributed optical fiber sensor is tightly attached to and fixed to the outer wall of the production sleeve to ensure that there is no relative slippage between it and the cement ring formed by subsequent curing, thereby achieving direct and efficient transmission of strain and vibration signals.
[0010] Step 3: The prepared "production casing-cement ring-technical casing" assembly is divided into a blank group and a condition control group. The blank group is used to quantitatively evaluate the characteristic parameters of the cement ring under the initial state, while the condition control group is used to quantitatively evaluate the damage evolution law of the characteristic parameters of the cement ring under hydrogen exposure and alternating load.

(2) At the peak moment of a cycle, calculate the standard deviation of the strain values at different positions along the axial or circumferential direction of the cement ring, and divide it by the mean of the absolute values of the strain at all positions at that moment. This is denoted as the strain distribution non-uniformity index. (3) Calculation method and The same method is used, but only the strain data measured by fiber optic sensors deployed near the interface is calculated, and this is denoted as the interfacial strain distribution non-uniformity index. .

[0035] Step 28: Based on the algorithm function encapsulated in Step 27, plot a quantitative relationship curve of the evolution of cement ring characteristic parameters with optical fiber characteristic parameters.
[0036] Step 29: Based on industry safety specifications, API standards, and full-scale experimental data, define theoretical thresholds for three safety levels for various cement ring characteristic parameters: (1) Safe zone (green): ≤2.0* , ≥0.7* , ≥0.8* , ≥0.8* , ≥0.8* , ≤1.2* , ≥0.8* , ≥0.8* 0.86* ≤ ≤1.14* (2) Warning zone (yellow): 2.0* < ≤10.0* 0.33* ≤ <0.7* 0.5* ≤ <0.8* 0.6* ≤ <0.8* 0.6* ≤ <0.8* 1.2* < ≤1.4* 0.6* ≤ <0.8* 0.6* ≤ <0.8* 0.71* ≤ <0.86* Or 1.14* < ≤1.29* (3) Alert Zone (Red): >10.0* , <0.33* , <0.5* , <0.6* , <0.6* , >1.4* , <0.6* , <0.6* , <0.71* or >1.29* .
