Description

A natural gas hydrate field basic parameter characterization test device Technical field:

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of natural gas hydrate exploitation, in particular to a natural gas hydrate on-site basic parameter characterization and testing device. Background technology:

[0002] Deepwater oil and gas resources are considered a key frontier for the oil industry. Deepwater and ultra-deepwater oil and gas resources have become a hotspot for development in Western developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. Natural gas hydrates, primarily buried at depths of 1-3 km, are widely considered to be a vast, untapped unconventional oil and gas resource and one of the most promising alternative energy sources of the 21st century. This immense resource potential is attracting countries around the world to deepen their exploration, trial production, and supporting environmental impact assessments. The United States, Canada, Germany, Norway, and neighboring countries such as Japan, India, South Korea, and Vietnam have all established long-term research programs on natural gas hydrates.

[0003] With the continuous deepening of natural gas hydrate research, a number of test devices have been developed to simulate the hydrate formation and extraction process. However, as the research continues to deepen, the requirements for such test devices are becoming increasingly higher. The current domestic and international requirements for natural gas hydrate test simulation devices are roughly as follows:

[0004] (1) The comprehensiveness of the test is becoming stronger

[0005] With the continuous advancement of scientific research, it has evolved from a single, interdisciplinary, and integrated approach. The design requirements for natural gas hydrate simulation test facilities have also evolved from single-function requirements to integrated, systematic ones. Research has found that current natural gas hydrate simulation test facilities can not only simulate the physical and chemical relationships of hydrates, but also simulate hydrate sedimentary formations, test the physical and chemical properties of the formations with and without hydrate formation, and study the characteristics of hydrate formation parameters.

[0006] (2) The degree of visualization is getting higher and higher

[0007] Macroscopic science, once developed to a certain point, is no longer sufficient to explain active physical phenomena. To analyze and understand the various mechanisms and characteristics of natural gas hydrates as clearly as possible, higher functional requirements are being placed on experimental simulation systems. The goal is to use visualization technology to capture real-time phase changes in natural gas hydrate formation, aggregation, and decomposition within the formation. Furthermore, other testing equipment can be used to observe, record, and analyze the microscopic world of the research object.

[0008] (3) The environmental conditions of test simulation are becoming more and more harsh

[0009] As field sampling of natural gas hydrates continues to deepen, the environment in which they form is becoming increasingly clear, posing new challenges for the test simulation system. Intense formation pressure and low ambient temperatures are essential for the formation of natural gas hydrates. Creating these conditions places higher demands on the test simulation system. Key areas of research and design for the test system include precisely controlling the simulation environment, ensuring the proper functioning of each test device under these harsh conditions, and ensuring high structural reliability.

[0010] (4) Measurement accuracy is getting higher and higher

[0011] To accurately interpret the accumulation state of natural gas hydrates and the impact of mining methods on the formation, truly reflect the various characteristics of natural gas hydrates in the formation, and understand and master the various mechanistic relationships, higher requirements are placed on the testing capabilities of the test simulation system. High-precision measurement and high-precision control are necessary prerequisites for achieving accurate simulation. To achieve this goal, in addition to selecting reliable and accurate sensors, higher requirements are also placed on the design plan. The reasonable arrangement and use of various components and equipment such as sensors are also important factors affecting the measurement accuracy of the test simulation device.

[0012] The submarine methane hydrate reservoir is a multi-phase, multi-component, complex sediment system composed of natural gas, water, hydrates, ice, sand, etc. Different methane hydrate reservoir conditions will result in significant differences in mining techniques and mining results. Therefore, the on-site characterization technology of key geological parameters of the target methane hydrate reservoir is one of the most critical technical means to detect methane hydrate before mining. It is also the basis for further accurate prediction of the methane hydrate production capacity in the target area and determination of the mining plan. At present, the on-site characterization of marine methane hydrate reservoir parameters and online production capacity evaluation have become key technical issues in the commercial mining of methane hydrate. It is urgent to carry out special research and development to establish a mature technology and special equipment system.

[0013] However, in the existing technology, there are the following technical difficulties:

[0014] 1. Sample transfer operation under pressure maintenance conditions enables rapid testing of combustible ice samples collected directly after treatment and pressure maintenance on site;

[0015] 2. The pressure-resistant sample transfer operator realizes the integration of sample transfer and testing under pressure-maintaining conditions;

Specific implementation method:

[0044] In order to make the purpose of the invention, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0045] As shown in FIG1 , a natural gas hydrate field basic parameter characterization test device includes a servo drive mechanism 1, a pressure-resistant operator 2, a sealing mechanism, a data acquisition system 4, a resistivity test system 5, an outlet metering system 6, and a non-perturbation permeability test module 7; the sealing mechanism includes at least a plurality of valve bodies;

[0046] The servo drive mechanism 1 is sequentially connected to the pressure-resistant operator 2, the resistivity test system 5, and the outlet metering system 6. The resistivity test system 5 is a multi-channel resistivity test system 5. The resistivity test system 5 is respectively connected to the pressurization system 11 and the non-disturbance permeability test module 7.

[0047] During operation, the servo transmission mechanism 1 is used to enable the sample 12 to perform reciprocating motion or rotation in the pressure-resistant operator 2, and the pressure and temperature acquisition system and the resistivity testing system 5 are used to monitor the pressure, temperature and resistivity data changes of the natural gas hydrate field basic parameter characterization test device in real time. The non-disturbance permeability testing module 7 is used to detect the permeability of the hydrate sample 12 in real time to obtain the on-site parameter data of the marine combustible ice sample 12.

[0048] Specifically, the present invention is primarily used for online permeability testing and multi-channel temperature, pressure, and resistivity testing of cut samples 12. The present invention can process combustible ice core samples 12, enabling rapid on-site measurements of the entire core, including resistivity, permeability, porosity, and hydrate saturation. It also enables on-site decomposition experiments of combustible ice cores, directly and rapidly obtaining key technical parameters for combustible ice mining, such as the decomposition rate, gas-liquid flow rate, sediment deformation, and decomposed gas composition. Furthermore, the present invention is equipped with numerical simulation software for combustible ice production capacity evaluation, allowing these key combustible ice core parameters to be directly used in the simulation software to evaluate the combustible ice production capacity of target mining areas. The system also provides technical support for selecting mining targets and technical optimization solutions for mining methods.

[0049] The present invention can directly study natural gas hydrate deposits and realize on-site in-situ processing and analysis of cores drilled from combustible ice reservoirs; it can be carried on combustible ice exploration ships or drilling and production ships, has extremely high portability, and can also realize online permeability testing and multi-channel temperature, pressure, and resistivity testing.

[0050] In the present invention, the sample transfer operation under high-pressure maintaining conditions can be realized, and the combustible ice sample 12 collected under pressure after treatment can be quickly tested directly on site, and the pressure value, temperature value, resistance value and permeability can be detected in real time. That is, the present invention realizes the integration of sample transfer and testing under pressure maintaining conditions; at the same time, the miniaturized design of the present invention meets the convenience and portability of combustible ice analysis and testing under high-pressure maintaining conditions.

[0051] In detail, in the present invention, the servo transmission mechanism 1 is used to drive the sample 12 to reciprocate or rotate in the pressure-resistant operator 2 so as to adjust the length and / or angle of the sample 12 in the present invention. The pressure-resistant operator 2 is used to separate the sample 12 under pressure, that is, the pressure-resistant operator 2 is used to achieve the separation effect of the sample 12 and the sheath 13 under high pressure maintenance. The sealing mechanism is used to maintain the overall pressure of the present invention to avoid pressure leakage, and changes in pressure values ​​affect the preservation of the sample 12 and the parameter test results. The data acquisition system 4 is used for real-time detection and collection so that the experimenter can obtain real-time pressure and temperature values; the resistivity testing system 5 is used to detect the resistivity value of the sample 12 clamp in the servo transmission mechanism 1, and to infer and detect the saturation distribution of different areas based on the relationship between resistivity and saturation.

[0052] When the present invention is in use, the sample 12 clamped by the sample 12 clamper in the servo transmission mechanism 1 can clamp the sample 12 provided with the sheath 13, and can drive the sample 12 to reciprocate or rotate in the pressure-resistant operator 2. The servo transmission mechanism 1 can be used to adjust the length and / or angle of the sample 12 in the pressure-resistant operator 2, and under the joint action of the servo transmission mechanism 1, the pressure-resistant operator 2 and the sealing mechanism, the effect of separating the sample 12 from the sheath 13 is achieved under high-pressure maintaining conditions.

[0053] After the sample 12 and the jacket 13 separate, the sample 12 enters the test section. In the test section, a resistivity testing system 5 and a data acquisition system 4 are provided. The resistivity testing system 5 and the data acquisition system 4 respectively acquire the pressure, temperature, and resistivity data of the present invention. The non-perturbation permeability testing module 7 can also be used to perform real-time permeability testing on the hydrate sample 12 to obtain on-site parameter data of the marine combustible ice sample 12.

[0054] It should be noted here that since the formation of combustible ice requires four basic conditions: low temperature, high pressure environment, and sufficient gas and water sources, in the present invention, it is necessary to ensure the high pressure, pressure maintenance, and sealing state of the natural gas hydrate field basic parameter characterization test device of the present invention.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the servo transmission mechanism 1 includes a servo motor, a servo driver, a servo rotation mechanism and a sample 12 gripper that are sequentially connected;

[0056] The sample 12 gripper is used to grip the sample 12 , and the servo motor drives the servo driver to drive the sample 12 gripper to reciprocate in the pressure-resistant manipulator 2 , and drives the servo rotation mechanism to drive the sample 12 gripper to rotate in the pressure-resistant manipulator 2 .

[0057] Preferably, the servo transmission mechanism 1 is also designed with a speed reduction mechanism to achieve self-locking when power is off, and the driver is designed with a pressure balancing mechanism to achieve isobaric operation of the drive shaft.

[0058] Preferably, the servo transmission mechanism 1 is further equipped with a servo controller, which is connected to a computer through the servo controller to achieve an online control effect. As a specific example of this embodiment, the servo motor is an imported servo motor with a power of 1KW, a rated speed of 3000r / min, a maximum speed of 5000r / min, a rated torque of 2.39Nm, and a maximum torque of 7.16Nm.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, the pressure-resistant operator 2 can withstand a pressure of 0-40 MPa; the pressure-resistant operator 2 is generally sleeve-shaped, a sheath 13 is provided outside the sample 12, and the servo transmission mechanism 1 drives the sample 12 and the sheath 13 to realize reciprocating motion and rotation in the pressure-resistant operator 2.

[0060] In detail, based on the storage environment requirements of combustible ice, it needs to be kept in a high-pressure pressure-maintaining environment, so all components in the present invention should be able to withstand high pressure.

[0068] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, there are 10 resistivity measurement points with a range of 0 to 105 Ω·cm and an accuracy of 0.1%. Since the resistivity meter primarily detects the resistivity value of the holder through saturation electrical measurement points, the relationship between resistivity and saturation is used to infer and detect the saturation distribution in different areas. Three electrodes are evenly spaced within the model. Resistance is an indicator of good methane hydrate formation and decomposition. The system resistance increases rapidly when hydrates form and decreases sharply when hydrates decompose. In this system, the resistivity measurement range is 0 to 15,000 Ω·m with an accuracy of 1%.

[0069] Furthermore, the non-disturbance permeability test module 7 includes a testing mechanism and a non-disturbance permeability test injection pump 14 connected to the testing mechanism. The non-disturbance permeability test injection pump 14 is used for in-situ permeability testing of the combustible ice sample 12, and the closed driving structure ensures that the combustible ice sample 12 does not decompose during the permeability test.

[0070] Furthermore, the non-perturbative permeability test module 7 utilizes a triaxial, non-perturbative permeability test module 7 and employs a rubber sheath for circumferential pressure loading, creating a pressure buffer within the rubber sheath to ensure safety during use. A large-diameter, high-pressure isolator is designed at the top of the testing mechanism to maintain pressure during sample transfer. The non-perturbative permeability test injection pump 14 is used for in-situ permeability testing of the combustible ice sample 12, featuring a sealed drive structure to ensure that the combustible ice sample 12 does not decompose during the permeability test.

This allows for online measurement of temperature, pressure, and resistivity after sample transfer. The transferred sample 12 has specifications of φ50 × 200 mm, 316L. The maximum axial and confining pressures are 35 MPa, with a pressure control accuracy of ±0.1 MPa. Furthermore, the non-perturbative permeability test injection pump 14 is used for in-situ permeability testing of the combustible ice sample 12, featuring a sealed drive structure to ensure that the combustible ice sample 12 does not decompose during the permeability test.

As needed, after the sample 12 is transferred from the pressure-resistant operator 2 to the test section, the test section 3 is sealed by a sealing mechanism, and then the pressure-resistant operator 2 is separated from the test section by the clamp 8 to facilitate operation by the operator.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, the data acquisition system 4 includes a pressure acquisition system and a temperature acquisition system. The pressure acquisition system includes a pressure sensor and a pressure acquisition module, and the temperature acquisition system includes a temperature sensor and a temperature acquisition module.

[0075] Multiple pressure sensors and multiple temperature sensors obtain real-time pressure values ​​and temperature values ​​at different locations in the natural gas hydrate field basic parameter characterization test device.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, data acquisition system 4 includes a pressure acquisition system and a temperature acquisition system. The pressure acquisition system includes a pressure sensor and a pressure acquisition module, and the temperature acquisition system includes a temperature sensor and a temperature acquisition module. The temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature at various points in the present invention and transmit the measured temperature information to the temperature acquisition module. The pressure sensor is used to measure the pressure at various points in the present invention and transmit the measured pressure information to the pressure acquisition module. The temperature acquisition module then feeds the temperature information back to the computer's analytical data processing software for analysis and processing.

The acquisition hardware primarily comprises a data acquisition card, a PLC controller, and a computer; the acquisition software is based on Windows 7 system simulation software and system analysis and testing software. This system enables comprehensive pressure and flow monitoring and analysis, precise control of the non-perturbation permeability test injection pump 14, and interface control. It also includes real-time data analysis, including various seepage processing reports and curves.

[0083] When in use, the sample 12 with the sheath 13 can be clamped by the sample clamper in the servo transmission mechanism 1 and reciprocated or rotated in the pressure-resistant manipulator 2 to adjust the length and / or angle of the sample 12; during the reciprocating motion, the sample 12 can be sent to the test section. At the same time, the sample 12 and the sheath 13 are separated under pressure in the pressure-resistant manipulator 2, and the separated sample 12 is sent to the test section.

[0084] When the sample 12 is placed in the test section, the ball valve 9 is closed, and then a sealed test section 3 is formed through the ball valve 9 and the back pressure control valve 10. In this way, the servo transmission mechanism 1 and the pressure-resistant operator 2 can be separated from the test section through the clamp 8 to allow the position of the sealed test section 3 to be transferred.
