Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of petroleum well logging, and more specifically to a novel ultra-wide-angle visual well logging instrument. Background Art
[0002] Visual logging technology uses downhole cameras to directly capture video images of the wellbore. It includes visible light downhole television, shortwave infrared downhole television, and X-ray scattering imaging downhole television. These technologies provide intuitive downhole images, including information such as damage type, location, and size, thus providing strong support for safe and stable production in oil and gas fields.
[0003] Current visualization logging instruments are limited by pressure-bearing glass. Pressure-bearing glass is usually flat, and the observation distance between the lens of the visualization logging instrument and the well wall is relatively far, so the angle and range of the lens that can observe the inner wall of the casing through the pressure-bearing glass are relatively small. In addition, due to the small observation range of the lens, it is easy to observe unclearly. Therefore, the water quality requirements are very high and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0015] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the present invention. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely examples. The novel ultra-wide-angle visual logging instrument involved in the present invention is not limited to the various structures described in the following embodiments. All other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] Example 1:
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a new ultra-wide-angle visual logging instrument includes an instrument housing 2, an instrument upper connector 1 is installed at the left end of the interior of the instrument housing 2, a transition connector 3 is installed at the right side of the interior of the instrument housing 2, the right end of the outer wall of the instrument housing 2 is sealed and inlaid with LED pressure-bearing glass 4, the right end of the interior of the instrument housing 2 is sealed and inlaid with curved pressure-bearing glass 6, a wide-angle camera 5 is installed at the right end of the interior of the instrument housing 2, the camera end of the wide-angle camera 5 is located inside the curved pressure-bearing glass 6, a plug is installed at the right end of the instrument upper connector 1, the wide-angle camera 5 is connected to the plug of the instrument upper connector 1 through a No. 2 signal wire, and the left end of the instrument upper connector 1 is connected to the logging receiving end instrument through a No. 1 signal wire.
[0018] In this embodiment, since the camera end of the wide-angle camera 5 is located inside the curved pressure-bearing glass 6, the camera end of the wide-angle camera 5 can be used to perform 180° imaging through the curved pressure-bearing glass 6, which can observe a larger angle and range of the casing. At the same time, the image captured by the wide-angle camera 5 can be transmitted to the logging receiving end instrument, which is convenient for providing the staff with an intuitive picture of the well.
[0019] Example 2:
[0020] like Figure 1As shown, the instrument housing 2 and the instrument upper joint 1 are sealed by a No. 1 thread and a No. 1 sealing rubber ring, the instrument housing 2 and the transition joint 3 are sealed by a No. 2 thread and a No. 2 sealing rubber ring, and a No. 3 sealing rubber ring is provided between the curved pressure-bearing glass 6 and the instrument housing 2.
[0021] In this embodiment, the material of the instrument housing 2 is titanium alloy, and the material of the curved pressure-bearing glass 6 is sapphire. The instrument upper joint 1, transition joint 3, LED pressure-bearing glass 4, and curved pressure-bearing glass 6 are all sealedly connected to the instrument housing 2. Therefore, this ultra-wide-angle visual logging instrument has good sealing performance.
[0022] In summary, if Figure 1 As shown, this is a new type of ultra-wide-angle visual logging instrument. When the ultra-wide-angle visual logging instrument is lowered into the well to obtain video images, the camera end of the wide-angle camera 5 is used to perform 180° imaging through the curved pressure-bearing glass 6, which can observe a larger angle and range of the casing, and the image taken by the wide-angle camera 5 is transmitted to the logging receiving end instrument through the No. 2 signal wire, the instrument upper connector 1 and the No. 1 signal wire, so as to provide the staff with an intuitive picture of the well, and the instrument upper connector 1, the transition joint 3, the LED pressure-bearing glass 4, the curved pressure-bearing glass 6 are all sealed with the instrument housing 2, so this ultra-wide-angle visual logging instrument has good sealing performance.
