Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shale monitoring technology, specifically a dynamic monitoring device for the impact of carbon dioxide injection on shale fractures. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of shale oil and gas development and CO2 geological utilization, CO2 injection technologies (such as CO2 flooding, CO2 enhanced shale gas recovery, and CO2 geological sequestration) are crucial for improving resource utilization. However, the mechanisms of fracture propagation, changes in mechanical properties, and chemical interactions in shale reservoirs during CO2 injection are complex, requiring real-time monitoring of multiphysics parameters to assess engineering effectiveness and geological safety. Existing technologies have the following shortcomings.

[0003] When CO2 is injected into shale reservoirs, fracture propagation involves the coupling effects of strain field (reservoir rock deformation), temperature field (CO2 phase transition endothermic / exothermic), pressure field (injection pressure distribution), and chemical field (CO2-rock-fluid interaction). Traditional monitoring methods typically use independent sensors to measure a single parameter (such as monitoring only pressure or strain), leading to asynchronous data acquisition times and mismatched spatial locations, making it difficult to accurately reconstruct the dynamic evolution of fractures. For example, if pressure and strain sensors are installed far apart, differences in CO2 diffusion rates may distort the correlation analysis between pressure changes and fracture propagation.

[0004] To address the problems raised in the background art, those skilled in the art have proposed a dynamic monitoring device for the impact of carbon dioxide injection on shale fractures. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a dynamic monitoring device for the impact of carbon dioxide injection on shale fractures. This device integrates strain, temperature, pressure, and chemical sensors on the same support frame and utilizes conduit to integrate the wiring of multiple sensors, enabling simultaneous monitoring of multiple parameters related to shale fracture morphology, mechanical response, and chemical effects during CO2 oil recovery / gas storage.

[0006] A dynamic monitoring device for the impact of carbon dioxide injection on shale fractures includes a control module. A transmission pipeline is installed on the outer wall of the control module. A support body is installed at the end of the transmission pipeline away from the control module. A temperature sensor, a strain sensor, a pressure sensor, and a chemical sensor are respectively installed on the outer wall of the support body for detecting strain, temperature, pressure, and chemical information. A wire-binding mechanism is installed at the rear end of the support body. The wire-binding mechanism includes a rear-end limiting plate, which is located at the rear end of the support body. The transmission pipeline is engaged with the inner side of the rear-end limiting plate. The transmission pipeline is also connected to the input ends of the temperature sensor, strain sensor, pressure sensor, and chemical sensor.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a limiting component, which includes a limiting sleeve, which is fitted onto the outer wall of the transmission pipeline, and the limiting sleeve is two rings spliced ​​together.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting shaft is installed at the bottom between the two limiting sleeves, two limiting sliders are fixedly connected to the top of the two limiting sleeves, and a connecting sleeve is slidably connected to the outer side wall of the two limiting sliders.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting slider has a groove near the bottom for connecting the sleeve to engage with the outside of the limiting slider, and the outer wall of the bracket body has multiple insertion slots, in which transmission lines are inserted.

[0010] Preferably, an air outlet is provided near the bottom of the main body of the bracket, and an air inlet pipe is installed at the input end of the air outlet for injecting carbon dioxide into the air outlet.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. Through integrated design, strain, temperature, pressure and chemical sensors are integrated on the outside of the same bracket, and the cable conduit is used to achieve efficient integration of multiple sensor wires. Strain (crack deformation), temperature (CO2 phase change heat effect), pressure (injection pressure distribution) and chemical parameters (CO2 concentration, pH value) are collected simultaneously to achieve accurate reproduction of the physical-chemical coupling process and avoid the time and space errors caused by traditional decentralized monitoring.
