Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chloride ion detection technology in drilling processes, and particularly to a chloride ion detection device and system for drilling fluid. Background Technology
[0002] In petroleum geological exploration, monitoring and recording the chloride ion content in drilling fluid can reflect the distribution of oil and water in the formation. Currently, chemical titration analysis is mainly used for on-site chloride ion monitoring.
[0003] However, chemical titration usually employs the manual titration method with silver nitrate. Due to the human involvement involved, the manual titration method suffers from poor consistency in the detection process, resulting in significant errors in the detection results. Furthermore, chemical titration also has the problems of slow chemical potential reactions and environmental pollution from chemical reagents. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a drilling fluid chloride ion detection device and system to solve the problems of large errors in chemical titration analysis and environmental pollution caused by chemical reagents in the current drilling fluid chloride ion detection process.
[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a drilling fluid chloride ion detection device, which includes at least one detection chamber, the detection chamber comprising:
[0006] The enclosure has a receiving cavity;
[0007] A semi-permeable membrane is disposed within a receiving cavity, dividing the cavity into a filtration cavity and a detection cavity. The filtration cavity is located above the detection cavity and has an inlet and a drain outlet. The semi-permeable membrane has ion channels and is adapted to filter impurities in the drilling fluid within the filtration cavity, allowing ions from the drilling fluid to enter the detection cavity below via the ion channels.
[0008] A potential detection device includes an electrode assembly and a potential detector connected thereto. The electrode assembly is disposed within the detection chamber and is used to generate a chloride ion potential in the drilling fluid within the detection chamber.
[0009] Specifically, the semipermeable membrane is a reverse osmosis membrane.
[0010] Preferably, the drain outlet is positioned lower than the liquid inlet.
[0011] Optionally, the drilling fluid chloride ion detection device also includes:
[0012] The heater is suitable for heating the drilling fluid in the filter chamber, so that the drilling fluid in the filter chamber is kept in a molten state.
[0013] Furthermore, the detection boxes are multiple units arranged in parallel; the drilling fluid chloride ion detection device also includes:
[0014] The housing, heater, and multiple detection boxes are all housed within the housing.
[0015] On the other hand, this utility model also provides a drilling fluid chloride ion detection system, which includes the aforementioned drilling fluid chloride ion detection device, as well as an equipment box and terminal equipment;
[0016] Both the potential detector and the terminal device are electrically connected to the device box. The device box is adapted to receive chloride ion content information from the potential detector and transmit the chloride ion content information to the terminal device.
[0017] Furthermore, the drilling fluid chloride ion detection system also includes:
[0018] Mud pit, which contains drilling fluid;
[0019] A power lifting component is connected between the mud pit and the inlet of the filter chamber, and is used to transport drilling fluid from the mud pit to the filter chamber.
[0020] Optionally, the power lifting component is a mud pump.
[0021] Optionally, the device box is communicatively connected to the terminal device.
[0022] Preferably, the equipment box is equipped with an indicator light, which is used to display the communication status of the equipment box.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0024] 1. After the drilling fluid enters the filtration chamber and is filtered through a semi-permeable membrane, impurities in the drilling fluid are blocked within the filtration chamber. Chloride ions in the drilling fluid will enter the detection chamber below through the ion channel along with the aqueous solution. When the electrode assembly is energized, a chloride ion potential can be generated in the drilling fluid in the detection chamber. Since the chloride ion content in the aqueous solution is different, the voltage in the water will be different. Therefore, the chloride ion content can be obtained by detecting the chloride ion potential using a potential detector.
[0025] The drilling fluid chloride ion detection device in this embodiment provides continuous, accurate, and reliable monitoring of chloride ion content, and is more environmentally friendly than chemical titration.
[0026] 2. In this embodiment, the semi-permeable membrane is a reverse osmosis membrane with a pore size in the nanometer range. The measured chloride ion content can reach 2.5 × 10^5 mg / L. This overcomes the problem of low chloride ion measurement in composite salt drilling fluids, meets the needs of field operations, and lays the foundation for effectively identifying gypsum-salt layers in the logging field, judging water invasion, ensuring safe drilling on site, and comprehensively interpreting and evaluating oil, gas, and water layers.
[0027] 3. After the drilling fluid chloride ion detection device filters the drilling fluid and measures the chloride ion content in the filtered drilling fluid, the potential detector transmits the chloride ion content information to the equipment box, which then transmits the received chloride ion content to the terminal equipment. The terminal equipment can analyze, process, store, and display the chloride ion content information. Attached Figure Description

[0045] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The detection box 11 includes a box body 111 with a accommodating cavity, a semi-permeable membrane 112 disposed in the accommodating cavity, and a potential detection device for detecting the chloride ion content in the drilling fluid.
[0048] The semi-permeable membrane 112 divides the accommodating cavity into a filtration cavity 113 and a detection cavity 114. The filtration cavity 113 is located above the detection cavity 114.

The electrode assembly 118 is disposed within a detection chamber 114 and is used to generate a chloride ion potential in the drilling fluid within the detection chamber 114.

[0050] The filter chamber 113 has an inlet 116 and a drain 117. The drilling fluid enters the filter chamber 113 through the inlet 116 and is filtered through the semi-permeable membrane 112. After filtration, impurity particles in the drilling fluid are blocked in the filter chamber 113 and can be discharged through the drain 117. Chloride ions in the drilling fluid enter the detection chamber 114 through the ion channel from the filter chamber 113 along with the aqueous solution. When the electrode assembly 118 is energized, a chloride ion potential is generated in the drilling fluid in the detection chamber 114. Since the chloride ion content in the aqueous solution varies, the voltage in the water will vary. Therefore, the chloride ion potential can be detected by a potential detector to obtain the chloride ion content.
[0051] The drilling fluid chloride ion detection device 100 in this embodiment provides continuous, accurate, and reliable monitoring of chloride ion content, and is more environmentally friendly than chemical titration.

[0059] The housing 13 is also equipped with a control switch 17, which is used to control the power supply or disconnection of electrical components.
[0060] In this embodiment, the drilling fluid chloride ion detection device 100 also includes a bracket 18 for supporting and fixing the detection box 11, and multiple detection boxes 11 are arranged at intervals on the bracket 18.
[0061] Optionally, the bottom of the housing 111 of the test box 11 is provided with a mounting post 115, and the bracket 18 is provided with a mounting hole through which the mounting post 115 passes. The test box 11 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 18 by the mounting post 115.
