Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil and gas exploration and development technology, and in particular to a rubber tube-type sampling probe for real-time detection of formation oil and gas. Background Technology
[0002] Before oil extraction, it is necessary to estimate the oil well yield to predict economic benefits. The oil well yield refers to the ratio of crude oil extracted from the underground reservoir to the total underground reserves during oil extraction. It is an important indicator for evaluating the development effect and economic benefits of an oil field. Fluid properties determine the calculation of reserves and subsequent well location, especially in non-hydrocarbon reservoirs. To understand the reservoir fluid properties and reservoir physical properties, the conventional practice in the field is to perform pressure testing and sampling of the reservoir. However, directly extracting oil through ordinary conduits is problematic. Excessively long conduits are prone to significant shaking at the lower end due to the accumulation of small deformations, which can easily damage the wellbore and affect the stability of the sampling. Utility Model Content

[0027] The rigid pipe 9 includes an outer pipe A25 with the same inner diameter and several outer pipes B 29. Several outer pipes B 29 are provided on the side of the rigid pipe connecting pipe 8 away from the outer cylinder 7, and an outer pipe A25 is provided at the end of the several outer pipes B 29 away from the outer cylinder 7.

[0033] Working principle: The probe is installed on the outside of the oil detection guide tube and lowered into the drilled well. When it reaches the set position, gas is injected into the gas chamber 6 through the rigid pipe 9 and the rigid pipe connecting pipe 8, causing the connecting seat 16 with the gas chamber 6 to expand and deform and abut against the borehole wall, thus fixing the outer cylinder 7. Oil filtered by the inner filter screen 20 and the outer filter screen 5 is sucked into the oil suction chamber 15 through the oil suction hole 23, and then transported to the surface for detection through the hose 12 and the hose connecting pipe 13. During the drilling descent, when the moving outer sleeve 1 encounters an obstacle or impact, the impact is buffered by the contraction of the two springs 18 and the rise of the moving inner sleeve 2 and the moving sleeve 3, and the reaction time is allowed for the detection guide tube to stop, effectively reducing the possibility of damage to the oil probe. The outer cylinder 7 and the moving outer sleeve 1 and the fixed outer sleeve 10 are connected by the rigid pipe 9, which effectively prevents it from detaching.
[0034] The outer cylinder 7 can be stopped at any time as the probe descends, and oil can be extracted through the suction hole 23 and hose 12 for testing, making sampling more convenient and faster. The expansion of the connecting seat 16 can fix the outer cylinder 7, making sampling more stable. The contraction of the two springs 18 and the rise of the movable inner sleeve 2 and movable sleeve 3 can buffer the impact and allow reaction time for the probe to stop, effectively reducing the possibility of damage to the oil probe and extending its service life. In addition, the expanded connecting seat 16 can not only fit and support the well wall to protect it, effectively preventing the well wall from falling off due to oil extraction, but also has elasticity and is less prone to failure. The oil extraction through the small suction hole 23 causes less disturbance to the oil, making the sampling more accurate.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
