Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of underground gas storage safety monitoring and multi-source information fusion identification technology, and in particular to a device for identifying leaks in deep salt cavern hydrogen and helium storage and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Deep salt caverns possess excellent low permeability, plastic flowability, and sealing properties, making them an important form of underground storage for hydrogen or helium. During long-term cyclic injection and production operations, salt cavern storage facilities are susceptible to various leakage risks due to factors such as wellbore service damage, injection / production string fatigue, casing-cement sheath interface degradation, stress redistribution in the surrounding rock, and localized fracturing. These risks include wellbore leakage, leakage due to surrounding rock failure, and combined leakage.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for monitoring leaks in salt cavern storage facilities include surface gas concentration monitoring, wellbore temperature or acoustic monitoring, and microseismic monitoring. However, these methods suffer from several drawbacks, including high false alarm rates with single monitoring methods, a lack of joint identification mechanisms despite the deployment of multiple methods, a lack of effective bridging between microseismic anomalies and actual leaks, and difficulty in balancing false alarm suppression and location capabilities. In actual engineering projects, real leak events typically generate related anomaly responses at the surface, wellbore, and cavity levels, while isolated anomalies detected by a single monitoring method are more likely to originate from noise disturbances, changes in operating conditions, or external environmental influences.

[0028] Specifically, the present invention discloses a method for using a deep salt cavern hydrogen and helium storage leakage identification device. This method involves collecting temperature data along the depth direction of the wellbore, vibration signal data along the depth direction of the wellbore, microseismic event data around the salt cavern cavity, and gas concentration data corresponding to the well site area of ​​the salt cavern. This constructs a multi-source collaborative sensing information acquisition system based on the ground, wellbore, and cavity. Single-source feature extraction is performed on the obtained multi-source data to obtain anomaly indicators for each single-source feature. Anomaly identification is then performed by comparing the data to be judged based on these single-source features with the anomaly indicators. Based on the geometric relationship, trajectory, wellhead location, and microseismic location results of the salt cavern, a spatial mapping relationship is established. This spatial mapping relationship includes the location of the abnormal depth of the wellbore and... Spatial correspondences of cavity microseismic event cluster locations; spatial correspondences between wellbore anomaly depth locations and surface anomaly areas; spatial correspondences between cavity microseismic event cluster locations and surface anomaly areas; through multiple spatial location relationships of surface-identified areas of abnormal gas concentration, wellbore temperature anomalies, wellbore vibration anomalies, and cavity microseismic event cluster locations, spatial correlation indices of the surface-wellbore-cavity are calculated. A larger spatial correlation index indicates stronger consistency among multi-source anomalies, suggesting a higher likelihood of gas leakage. Furthermore, based on spatial mapping relationships, accurate identification of chains of wellbore leakage, cavity damage leakage, and complex leakage can be achieved; the gas leakage path is not... Similarly, while the timing of anomalies in individual source data varies across multi-source data points as gas flows from the cavity to the ground, they exhibit correlation. By calculating time correlation indices, the strength of temporal synchronicity or timing matching of multi-source anomalies can be determined; a higher time correlation index indicates stronger temporal synchronicity or timing matching. Based on the anomaly indices of each individual source, spatial correlation indices, and temporal correlation indices, a comprehensive leak identification index is derived. This comprehensive leak identification index serves as the score for outputting early warnings. Furthermore, based on the anomaly indices of each individual source, spatial correlation indices, and temporal correlation indices, the chain of leaks—including wellbore leaks, cavity failure leaks, and complex leaks—can be identified, ensuring the time consistency of multi-source monitoring anomalies. Consistency, spatial consistency, and leakage chain consistency improve the ability to identify real leakage events. To reduce the impact of single-source false alarms on the comprehensive identification results, the comprehensive leakage identification index needs to be modified by rule constraints. The modified comprehensive leakage identification index is compared with the set first-level and second-level warning thresholds. The warning is graded and output based on whether there is a significant temporal and spatial correlation, whether there are monitoring anomalies of two or three sources within the preset time window, whether the three-source monitoring anomalies have significant spatiotemporal consistency, whether the timing of the anomalies of two single-source features is consistent with the time sequence, and whether the modified comprehensive leakage identification index meets the chain criteria for composite leakage.The present invention discloses a method for using a deep salt cavern hydrogen and helium storage leakage identification device. By identifying single-source anomalies and combining spatial mapping relationships, spatiotemporal correlation analysis, and comprehensive leakage identification, a three-layer leakage identification framework of single-source identification, spatiotemporal correlation, and comprehensive identification is constructed. The identification mechanism, which combines rule-based and scoring methods, improves the accuracy of monitoring and early warning. At the same time, it has good applicability to salt cavern-type small molecule storage facilities, such as hydrogen and helium storage facilities, which have high sealing requirements.
