Accurate data can only be obtained by weighing during refining, which is a long process. Weighing equipment is also quite bulky and cannot calculate the amount of oil, water, and gas resources in the well. In the early stages of extraction, it is impossible to calculate the extraction volume, as there is no data to support it. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a gas-liquid separation type crude oil extraction medium flow metering device, including a base 1, a gas-liquid filter separator 2 and a mixing medium metering mechanism are arranged on the top of the base 1, the gas-liquid filter separator 2 is located on one side of the mixing medium metering mechanism, the mixing medium metering mechanism includes a gas metering component and a liquid metering component, the gas metering component is connected to the upper end of the gas-liquid filter separator 2 and measures the separated gas medium in real time, the liquid metering component is connected to the bottom of the gas-liquid filter separator 2 and measures the separated liquid medium in real time.

[0024] A medium inlet 3 is provided at the lower end of the gas-liquid filter separator 2 on the side away from the mixing medium metering mechanism, and a gas discharge pipe 4 is provided at the upper end of the gas-liquid filter separator 2 on the side close to the mixing medium metering mechanism. A liquid discharge pipe 5 is provided at the bottom of the gas-liquid filter separator 2.

[0025] The mixed medium extracted from the oil well enters the gas-liquid filter separator 2 through the medium inlet 3. The gas-liquid filter separator 2 separates the mixed medium into gas and liquid. The separated gas is at the upper end of the gas-liquid filter separator 2 and is discharged through the gas discharge pipe 4. The separated liquid is at the bottom of the gas-liquid filter separator 2 and is discharged through the liquid discharge pipe 5.

[0026] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the gas metering component includes a gas pipeline 6, one end of which is connected to a gas discharge pipe 4. A PLC control cabinet 7 is installed on the gas pipeline 6. A first gas flow meter 8, which is connected to the gas pipeline 6, is installed inside the PLC control cabinet 7. After the separated gas enters the gas pipeline 6, it passes through the first gas flow meter 8, thereby detecting the flow rate of the separated gas through the first gas flow meter 8.

[0027] The gas pipeline 6 is also equipped with a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor, and the flow rate, pressure and temperature of the separated gas are measured by the first gas flow meter 8, the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor.

[0028] The PLC control cabinet 7 houses a PLC controller. The pressure sensor, temperature sensor, and first gas flow meter 8 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller. The cabinet door of the PLC control cabinet 7 also has a display screen. The AI ​​module in the PLC controller converts the received pressure, temperature, and gas flow signals into PLC digital quantities. Then, the PLC program in the PLC controller converts the digital quantities into actual physical quantities. Finally, the display screen reads the physical quantities and displays the pressure, temperature, and gas flow values ​​through the connection with the PLC controller.

[0029] The liquid metering assembly includes a liquid storage stabilizer 9, a liquid discharge pipe 5 connected to the liquid storage stabilizer 9, and a radar level gauge 10, an oil-water analyzer 12 and an empty pipe 13 at the upper end of the liquid storage stabilizer 9. The oil-water analyzer 12 is located between the radar level gauge 10 and the empty pipe 13.

[0030] The radar level gauge 10, oil-water analyzer 12, and second gas flow meter 14 are also electrically connected to the PLC controller to realize real-time monitoring of the liquid level, water content, and gas flow rate in the liquid storage stabilizer 9.

[0031] A turbine flow meter 11 is installed on the input pipe of the liquid storage flow stabilizer 9 near the liquid discharge pipe 5. The turbine flow meter 11 is electrically connected to the PLC controller. The turbine flow meter 11 detects the inflow of the liquid storage flow stabilizer 9 in real time and feeds it back to the PLC controller. The PLC controller compares the flow value detected by the turbine flow meter 11 with the flow value calculated based on the liquid level height detected by the radar level gauge 10 per unit time, thereby calibrating the feed flow of the liquid storage flow stabilizer 9 and avoiding flow measurement errors caused by the failure of a single device.

[0032] The end of the vent pipe 13 away from the liquid storage flow stabilizer 9 is connected to a second gas flow meter 14. The end of the second gas flow meter 14 away from the vent pipe 13 is connected to the gas pipeline 6. The vent pipe 13 is used to discharge a small amount of gas that has entered the liquid storage flow stabilizer 9, and the flow rate of the gas discharged from the vent pipe 13 is monitored by the second gas flow meter 14.

[0033] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, an electric valve 15 is provided at the end of the liquid storage flow stabilizer 9 away from the liquid discharge pipe 5, and a medium discharge pipe 16 is provided at the end of the electric valve 15 away from the liquid storage flow stabilizer 9.

[0034] The electric valve 15 is electrically connected to the PLC controller. The liquid level height detected by the radar level gauge 10 is fed back to the PLC controller. The PLC controller then compares the liquid level height value with the set liquid level height value. When the set liquid level height value is reached, the electric valve 15 is controlled to open. When the set liquid level height value is not reached, the electric valve 15 is controlled to remain closed. This allows the metering device to be used in gas wells with very low liquid volume.

[0035] The end of the gas pipeline 6 away from the gas discharge pipe 4 is connected to the medium discharge pipe 16. The metered gas and liquid media flow into the medium discharge pipe 16 and are discharged uniformly by the medium discharge pipe 16 before entering the next stage.

[0036] Working Principle: In operation, the mixed medium extracted from the oil well first enters the gas-liquid filter separator 2 through the medium inlet 3. The gas-liquid filter separator 2 separates the mixed medium into gas and liquid components. The separated gas is located at the upper end of the gas-liquid filter separator 2 and is discharged through the gas outlet pipe 4. The separated liquid is located at the bottom of the gas-liquid filter separator 2 and is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 5. The separated gas enters the gas pipeline 6 through the gas outlet pipe 4. Simultaneously, the flow rate of the separated gas is detected by the first gas flow meter 8 and fed back to the PLC controller. The separated liquid enters the liquid storage and flow stabilizer 9 through the liquid outlet pipe 5. The height of the liquid level rise in the liquid storage and flow stabilizer 9 is detected by the radar level gauge 10 and fed back to the PLC controller, thereby calculating the rate of liquid level rise per unit time, and subsequently calculating... The flow rate of the liquid is measured, and the water content in the liquid is detected in real time by the oil-water analyzer 12. This information is also fed back to the PLC controller. Based on the flow rate and water content of the liquid, the amount of water and oil in the liquid is calculated. In addition, a small amount of gas will enter the liquid storage flow stabilizer 9 and be discharged through the vent pipe 13 above the liquid storage flow stabilizer 9. During the discharge, the flow rate of the gas discharged from the vent pipe 13 is detected by the second gas flow meter 14 and fed back to the PLC controller. Therefore, the sum of the measurements of the first gas flow meter 8 and the second gas flow meter 14 is the amount of gas in the mixed medium, thereby obtaining the oil, water and gas content of the mixed medium. Finally, the measured gas and liquid media flow into the medium discharge pipe 16 and are discharged uniformly through the medium discharge pipe 16 before entering the next stage.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
