[0031] In the following, only certain exemplary embodiments are simply described. As those skilled in the art can recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the drawings and the description are considered to be exemplary in nature rather than limiting.

[0032] The present application provides a device and method for calibrating the hole depth of the perforation section of the oil and gas well, which realizes the positioning of the perforation section in the well by adopting the fiber vibration measurement (das) technology.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 Embodiment 1 provides a device for calibrating the hole depth of the perforation section of the oil and gas well, which comprises a photoelectric composite cable 2, a downhole pulse unit 4 and a ground photoelectric control unit 7, both ends of the photoelectric composite cable 2 are connected with the downhole pulse unit 4 and the ground photoelectric control unit 7 respectively; the photoelectric composite cable 2 comprises copper wires, a single-mode optical fiber and a multi-mode optical fiber, the copper wires are used for supplying power for the downhole pulse unit 4, the single-mode optical fiber is used for measuring vibration and transmitting the vibration signal to the ground photoelectric control unit 7, and the multi-mode optical fiber is used for measuring temperature and transmitting the temperature signal to the ground photoelectric control unit 7; the downhole pulse unit 4 is used for emitting a pulse shock wave; and the ground photoelectric control unit 7 is used for controlling the downhole pulse unit 4 to emit the pulse shock wave, receiving and processing the vibration signal and the temperature signal. Wherein, the photoelectric composite cable 2 comprises 5 copper wires, 1 single-mode optical fiber and 1 multi-mode optical fiber. Wherein, a scale is arranged in the optical fiber. Wherein, the quality of the downhole pulse unit 4 is equivalent to that of the logging downhole tool string.

[0034] Embodiment 2 provides a method for calibrating the hole depth of the perforation section of the oil and gas well, which adopts the device in embodiment 1 and comprises the following steps:

[0035] Step S1, obtaining an original hole depth value H1. Wherein, the original hole depth H1 can be measured during logging or can be measured during the last operation (such as water jet fracturing).

[0036] Step S2: Lower the downhole pulse unit 4 using a winch. Monitor the length H2 of the released photoelectric composite cable 2. When H2 is greater than H1, stop lowering the downhole pulse unit 4. Since perforation sections are often hundreds to thousands of meters underground, H1 is very large; H2 only needs to be 0.2-2 meters longer than H1. Generally, the entire device is mounted on a logging truck, with the winch serving as a component. The photoelectric composite cable 2 is wound around the winch's winding mechanism. The surface photoelectric control unit 7 can be a controller or processor. The photoelectric composite cable 2 is heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and has a certain pressure resistance. It serves as the steel wire or cable for lowering the downhole pulse unit 4, with one end connected to the surface photoelectric control unit 7 and the other end connected to the downhole pulse unit 4. The downhole pulse unit 4 is essentially a device that releases pulse shock waves underground, possessing heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, waterproof, and oil-proof properties. When lowering the downhole pulse unit 4 using a winch, the winch reading returns to zero when the pulse unit is at the wellhead.

[0037] In step S3, under the control of the ground photoelectric control unit 7, the downhole pulse unit 4 releases a pulsed shock wave. The pulsed shock wave is reflected after encountering the casing 1 wall and the orifice. The pulsed shock wave that strikes the casing 1 wall and the orifice is called the incident wave 6. After being emitted from the casing 1 wall and the orifice, the incident wave 6 is directed towards the single-mode optical fiber and is called the reflected wave 5. The single-mode optical fiber captures the reflected wave 5 for vibration measurement. As shown in the figure, the reflected wave 5 from the casing 1 wall causes a relatively large amplitude in the single-mode optical fiber. At the orifice, a portion of the incident wave 6 enters the reservoir, and the energy of the reflected wave 5 is relatively small, resulting in a smaller amplitude.

[0038] In step S4, the single-mode optical fiber receives the reflected wave 5 and forms a vibration signal, which is then transmitted to the ground photoelectric control unit 7; at the same time, the temperature signal measured by the multimode optical fiber is transmitted to the ground photoelectric control unit 7.

[0039] In step S5, the ground-based photoelectric control unit 7 determines the scale value H3 within the optical fiber corresponding to the reflected wave 5 at the aperture by analyzing the amplitude of the vibration signal. The energy of the reflected wave 5 formed by the pulsed shock wave at the wall of sleeve 1 is higher than that of the reflected wave 5 formed by the pulsed shock wave at the aperture. In the vibration signal, the amplitude of the reflected wave 5 corresponding to the wall of sleeve 1 is greater than the amplitude of the reflected wave 5 corresponding to the aperture. The scale value corresponding to the weakest amplitude in the vibration signal is taken as H3. When determining the reflected wave 5 at the aperture, reference can be made to... Figure 2 The amplitude curve shown corresponds to the position of the reflected wave 5 of the aperture, that is, the amplitude of the reflected wave 51 of the aperture is significantly smaller than that of the reflected wave 52 of the pipe wall.

[0040] Step S6: Calculate the difference ΔH between the hole and H3, where ΔH = H2 - H1. Figure 3 As shown, the incident angle ∠CAD = the reflection angle ∠BAD, so CD = BD, where CD = H2 - H1, BD = △H, so △H = H2 - H1.

[0041] Step S7, calculate the hole depth H = H3 + △H after checking, H = H + H2 - H1.

[0042] The ground photoelectric control unit 7 mainly controls the downhole pulse unit 4 to emit a pulse shock wave, and simultaneously sends and receives a light signal; the ground photoelectric control unit 7 is connected with the downhole pulse unit 4 through the photoelectric composite cable 2, the weight of the downhole pulse unit 4 is roughly equivalent to the weight of the logging downhole tool string, there are two optical fibers (one single-mode optical fiber and one multi-mode optical fiber) and five copper cables in the photoelectric composite cable 2, the single-mode optical fiber is used for fiber vibration measurement, the multi-mode optical fiber is used for fiber temperature measurement, and the copper cables are used for supplying high-voltage electricity to the downhole pulse unit 4. The photoelectric composite cable 2 is lowered into the well according to the original logging depth data, and is located at a position about 1 meter above the logging perforation depth (estimated according to the cable stretching amount and the well depth data); the ground photoelectric control unit 7 sends a command, high-voltage electricity is applied to both ends of the downhole pulse unit 4 through the photoelectric composite cable 2, the downhole pulse unit 4 emits a pulse shock wave, the pulse shock wave forms an incident wave 6 and a reflected wave 5 after encountering the casing 1 around the perforation hole 3, and the single-mode optical fiber in the photoelectric composite cable 2 receives the vibration caused by the reflected wave 5; when the pulse shock wave reaches the position of the perforation hole 3, most of the vibration caused by the pulse shock wave is incident into the formation, and no reflection or little reflected wave 5 is caused in the area of the perforation hole 3, so there is a significant difference between the reflected wave 5 characteristics of the perforation hole 3 position and other casing 1 reflection areas when the optical fiber receives the vibration, and the perforation section area of the well can be effectively determined through the difference; at the same time, part of the perforation holes 3 cause the temperature near the holes to be different from other positions due to water and gas emission, and the other multi-mode optical fiber collects the temperature change curve in the static state, so that the position and depth of the corresponding perforation section of the fiber composite are corrected through calculation by combining the original logging depth, the fiber vibration depth and the temperature characteristics.
