Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a flaw detection device, or more specifically, an online flaw detection device for well testing wire. Background Technology

[0002] Shale gas development in my country mainly relies on deep gas wells, and there are many tasks such as downhole dynamic monitoring and the deployment and retrieval of downhole nozzles. Due to the high Cl- ion content in the produced water of natural gas wells and the presence of various corrosive media, pitting corrosion and stress corrosion cracking occur on the test wire ropes immersed in the well. During the operation, the test wire ropes are constantly raised and lowered, bearing the continuous tension of the instruments and the rope itself, and undergoing continuous bending fatigue as they pass through the surface pulley system. In this situation, corrosive media form pitting or stress-induced microcracks on the surface of the steel wire. Under the load of mechanical tension and bending stress, longer transverse microcracks gradually extend from the bottom of the pit or the surface of the steel wire. As corrosive media enters these microcracks, the propagation of the cracks is further accelerated. After the crack initiation zone is formed, under the continuous action of bending and tensile alternating stress, some microcracks slowly extend into longer or deeper fatigue cracks. Finally, under the dual action of corrosive media and fatigue load, the cracks extend and cause the actual bearing area of ​​the steel wire to continuously decrease. When the actual bearing area of ​​the steel wire at a certain point is less than the theoretically required bearing area, the steel wire will suddenly experience brittle fracture failure due to overload. The direct result of the accident is that the instrument and the broken part of the steel wire fall into the well, causing an engineering quality accident.

[0003] Existing detection technologies have many drawbacks:

[0004] 1. The testing method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with obvious drawbacks and poor applicability.

[0005] The method of taking samples from the end of the steel wire every 30 days for tensile testing, and having a tensile strength ≥700KG is considered qualified. This method is a partial sampling inspection method with obvious drawbacks. First, the sample taken can only represent a part of the steel wire and cannot guarantee the integrity of the whole roll of steel wire, which has a large loophole.

[0006] 2. Weak testing methods and excessively high costs associated with mandatory scrapping measures.

[0007] Due to the lack of effective detection methods, the steel wire was forcibly scrapped after 50 well operations. The steel wire material was expensive, and the forced scrapping when it was still usable resulted in a huge waste. Utility Model Content
