Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to petroleum logging instrument technical field, concretely relates to a heat -insulated sleeve structure for petroleum logging instrument. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of oil exploration and development, logging instrument is the "eyes" of core parameters such as formation lithology, porosity, oil and gas saturation, and its working stability directly determines the reliability of exploration data. Downhole temperature gradient can reach 30-50 ℃ / km, in deep well or ultra-deep well environment, instrument needs to bear 175 ℃ or more continuous high temperature, extreme working condition even more than 260 ℃. This extreme thermal environment can lead to electronic component parameter drift, sensor sensitivity decline, carbonization failure of insulating materials and other problems, reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of measurement, and seriously shorten the service life of instrument. Taking logging cable as an example, continuous high temperature can accelerate the aging of polyurethane sheath, and make its tensile strength decrease sharply, which directly threatens the safety of downhole operation.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to protect the petroleum logging instrument by using the heat insulation sleeve structure, and the existing heat insulation sleeve structure adopts a vacuum sandwich or aerogel filling scheme, but the sealing system has structural defects. The traditional metal-rubber composite sealing ring is prone to thermal creep at high temperature, resulting in a large compression permanent deformation rate, which causes a gap of 0.1-0.3mm at the sealing interface, forming a heat convection channel. The multi-layer winding type heat insulation structure adopts adhesive connection at the interlayer bonding surface, and the adhesive strength will drop sharply above 150 ℃, and the interlayer thermal resistance will decrease rapidly. More importantly, the traditional design does not consider the thermal stress coupling effect, and the micron-level gap between the heat insulation sleeve and the instrument body due to the difference in material thermal expansion coefficient (CTE mismatch) will evolve into a millimeter-level thermal bridge in repeated thermal cycles, which seriously reduces the actual thermal insulation efficiency compared with the theoretical value, and seriously restricts the deep oil and gas resource exploration ability.

[0039] In the above description, the heat shield shell 1 is a cylindrical structure made of high-strength alloy material. The annular vacuum heat shield cavity 8 formed by the double-layer composite structure of the heat shield shell 1 and the high-temperature-resistant inner heat insulation layer 7 can block the heat convection and heat conduction path by using the vacuum environment while achieving radial limiting and physical protection in use, specifically: the vacuum cavity 8 is extracted to a high vacuum state (≤1×10 -3Pa), which can make the thermal resistance increase by 3-5 orders of magnitude; meanwhile, the heat insulation cavity 8 can be used as a filling channel to inject low-thermal-conductivity medium such as nano-aerogel or composite phase change material, and a gradient heat insulation system is constructed through the synergistic effect of the material properties and the vacuum environment.

The heat insulation sleeve structure with the above-mentioned modular design can make the effective thermal resistance of the heat insulation sleeve be ≤0.05 W / (m·K) in a wide temperature range of -40℃ to 260℃, which is more than 60% higher than the heat insulation efficiency of the traditional single-layer structure, and at the same time meets the requirements of anti-impact (≥500g) and corrosion resistance (H2S concentration 5% environment) in the downhole, thereby significantly prolonging the working life of the logging instrument main body 2 in high-temperature and high-pressure wells.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the top end of the heat insulation shell 1 is provided with a sealing end cover one 3, the bottom of the sealing end cover one 3 is mounted with a sealing rod 10, the sealing rod 10 is inserted inside the air hole 9, and the sealing rod 10 is used to close the air hole 9 during use to ensure the vacuum environment in the heat insulation cavity 8 or to prevent the outflow of the low-thermal-conductivity medium in the heat insulation cavity 8.

[0042] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the sealing ring 5 adopts a metal framework support structure, the surface is processed with a micro-taper (1:50) self-tightening sealing lip, and under the action of the pre-tightening force of the fixing screw 11 for mounting the sealing end cover one 3 and the sealing end cover two 4, the sealing ring 5 can produce an elastic deformation of 3-5 mm, thereby forming a continuous metal-nonmetal composite sealing band with the outer wall of the logging instrument main body 2, and the axial heat conduction path can be effectively blocked.
[0043] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 ,Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, several sealing grooves 12 are provided at both ends of the heat insulation shell 1. The outer wall of the sealing ring 5 is in close contact with the inner wall of the sealing groove 12, and the inner wall of the sealing ring 5 is in close contact with the outer wall of the logging instrument body 2.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, both ends of the heat insulation shell 1 are provided with equidistantly distributed fixing grooves 13. The inner wall of the fixing groove 13 is provided with internal threads. Both the sealing end cap 1 3 and the sealing end cap 2 4 are provided with equidistantly distributed connecting holes 14. The inner side of the connecting hole 14 is provided with a connecting end head 6. The end of the connecting end head 6 is fixedly connected with a fixing screw 11. The fixing screw 11 is screwed into the inner wall of the fixing groove 13. The sealing end cap 1 3 and the sealing end cap 2 4 are fixedly installed at both ends of the heat insulation shell 1 by the fixing screw 11 and the fixing groove 13.
[0045] The implementation principle of the heat insulation jacket structure for oil well logging instruments described in this embodiment is as follows:
[0046] In practical use, the heat insulation shell 1 is fixedly installed on the outside of the logging instrument body 2. An inner heat insulation layer 7, made of nano-aerogel material with extremely low thermal conductivity, effectively prevents heat transfer, providing excellent heat insulation protection for the logging instrument body 2. Then, the heat insulation cavity 8 is evacuated to a vacuum through the provided vents 9. This vacuum environment significantly reduces heat conduction and convection, further improving the heat insulation performance of the structure. Finally, sealing end caps 1 and 2 are fixedly installed at both ends of the heat insulation shell 1 using fixing screws 11 and fixing grooves 13. The sealing rod 10 is inserted into the vents 9, forming a seal on the heat insulation cavity 8. Simultaneously, the sealing groove 12 ensures that the sealing ring 5 tightly wraps around the outer wall of the logging instrument body 2, effectively preventing heat penetration from both ends of the heat insulation structure and improving sealing performance.
