Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of reservoir parameter measurement in coalbed methane exploration and development, and relates to an automatic testing system for coalbed methane well testing parameters based on infrared technology, specifically a system for real-time monitoring and recording of flow, pressure and temperature parameters during the coalbed methane well testing process. Background Art

[0002] Currently, coalbed methane (CBM) well testing is a process for obtaining CBM evaluation parameters, providing a scientific basis for CBM well exploration, development, and productivity evaluation. Commonly used CBM well testing methods at home and abroad include DST testing, slug testing, injection / pressure drop testing, water tank testing, interference testing, and fluid diagnostic testing. CBM well testing, based on seepage mechanics theory and using various test instruments, studies the various physical parameters of oil, gas, and water layers and test wells, production capacity, and connectivity between these layers by testing the production dynamics of oil and gas wells, CBM wells, or water wells.

[0003] Regardless of the well testing method, a certain amount of fluid is injected or withdrawn into the reservoir through a borehole, causing a pressure transient in the reservoir. By recording the pressure change over time, various reservoir parameters can be calculated using seepage theory. Pressure transient testing can provide important data such as permeability and reservoir pressure, which are used to evaluate the production potential, recovery rate, and economic feasibility of coalbed methane wells. It can also be used to estimate the fracture length and conductivity of hydraulically fractured wells.

[0004] Deficiencies at the current stage: 1. The original manual records are subject to large human errors and the test accuracy is insufficient; due to the long recording time, the errors in the recorded data are large; 2. Since the parameters of the coal reservoir are low permeability and low pressure, the current test equipment is not accurate enough for low flow and low pressure, resulting in large errors; 3. The traditional well testing process is relatively complicated and the test accuracy is insufficient. Utility Model Content
