Data acquisition device and downhole data acquisition method

[0001] Related applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411391162.2, filed on September 30, 2024, and Chinese Patent Application No. 202510632767.4, filed on May 16, 2025, and incorporates by reference the entire disclosure of all of the above patent applications as part of this application. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of data acquisition of pipelines, pipe networks and downhole environments, and in particular to a data acquisition device and a downhole data acquisition method. BACKGROUND

[0004] The acquisition of downhole pressure, temperature and other data is an important basis for realizing rapid interpretation and evaluation of formations, analysis and judgment of reservoir reconstruction effects, identification and analysis of wellbore operations, and interpretation and evaluation of production conditions, and provides reliable data for developing subsequent construction plans and determining reasonable construction parameters. Therefore, the research on downhole testing data acquisition technology has become an inevitable direction for the development of digital oilfields.

[0005] Currently, the acquisition technology of downhole data during drilling and completion and production mainly includes downhole permanent pressure monitoring technology, cable reading technology, downhole electronic pressure gauge fishing reading technology, and downhole permanent optical fiber monitoring technology. However, the above technologies need to be combined with oil casing, wire, cable, optical fiber, etc., and need to increase the running tool, which has the disadvantages of complex construction process, high cost and low economic benefit, especially in the application of downhole data acquisition in deep wells and long horizontal section wells, the disadvantages are particularly obvious. Therefore, it is usually only used in the exploration stage and key areas, and cannot be widely applied.

[0006] The current downhole data acquisition device usually adopts a spherical structure, which is usually used for data acquisition of pipelines, pipe networks and downhole environments, but cannot meet the application of reservoir reconstruction in oil and gas field development. The internal space is provided with multiple modules such as acquisition, storage and processing. For example, Chinese patent application CN108180014A discloses a downhole information monitoring device and a method for monitoring downhole information, US patent application US20160320769A1 discloses a cordless device for measuring characteristics of a downhole wellbore, US patent application US20190242808A1 discloses a corrosion sensor and a ball, and Japanese patent application JP2023092039A discloses a physical quantity measuring device. The above patents all adopt a spherical design. When the sphere is used in the downhole casing environment, since the maximum outer diameter of the sphere does not exceed the inner diameter of the casing, only a single sensor module can be built in to collect data at one end, and the sealing effect of the sealing tool cannot be effectively judged. In other downhole environments, multiple sensors can be arranged in a large-diameter sphere, but the sphere constantly turns over in the downhole fluid environment, and the collection position of each sensor constantly changes. When the sphere reaches the landing position, the turning state of the sphere is random, and the collection position is also random. The collection sensor lands on the contact surface of the ball seat body, causing the collection port to be blocked by the contact surface and unable to normally collect data. After landing, the sphere still turns over, and the collection data of the two ends of the sealing tool cannot be effectively judged to determine the separation effect.

[0007] In addition, in the flowback mode, the above patents use a flowback mode to flow back the soluble sphere or electronic component module to the wellhead for data reading. However, if the downhole flow rate is low, the whole acquisition device will be difficult to flow back or even unable to flow back, with low reliability and poor implementability. Or the electronic component module is difficult to separate from the flowback body, and cannot be effectively released. SUMMARY

[0008] The purpose of the present application is to provide a data acquisition device and a downhole data acquisition method to solve the technical problems of complex tools and construction processes for obtaining downhole data, low efficiency and high cost.

[0009] The above technical purpose of the present application is mainly realized by the following technical scheme:

[0010] In a first aspect, the application provides a data acquisition device, which comprises a housing, a data acquisition module and a data storage module. The housing has a first end and a second end located at two ends of an axis thereof, and the outer surface of the first end and the outer surface of the second end are spherical surfaces with different diameters. The housing can be placed into a ball seat of a downhole packer with the first end or the second end facing forward and seal the ball seat. The data acquisition module is installed in the housing, and the first end and the second end of the housing are provided with detection channels. The data acquisition module has a first sensor arranged in the detection channel, and the first sensor is used to detect fluid parameters on both sides of the downhole packer. The data storage module is electrically connected to the data acquisition module. The outer surface of the housing between the first end and the second end is a smooth transition surface that connects the two spherical surfaces smoothly.

[0011] In a second aspect, the application also provides another data acquisition device, which comprises a housing, a data acquisition module and a data storage module. The housing has a first end and a second end located at two ends of an axis thereof, and the housing also has a middle section between the first end and the second end. The outer surface of the first end and the outer surface of the second end are spherical surfaces with the same diameter, and the outer surface of the middle section is a spherical surface with a diameter greater than that of the spherical surfaces of the ends. The housing can be placed into a ball seat of a downhole packer with the first end or the second end facing forward and seal the ball seat. The data acquisition module is installed in the housing, and the first end and the second end of the housing are provided with detection channels. The data acquisition module has a data acquisition processing chip and a first sensor arranged in the detection channel. The data acquisition processing chip is electrically connected to the first sensor, and the first sensor is used to detect fluid parameters on both sides of the downhole packer. The data storage module is integrated into the data acquisition processing chip. The outer surface of the housing between the first end and the middle section and between the middle section and the second end is a smooth transition surface that connects two adjacent spherical surfaces smoothly.

[0012] In a third aspect, the application further provides another data acquisition device, which comprises a housing, a data acquisition module and a data storage module. The housing has a first end and a second end located at both ends of an axis thereof, and has a middle section connecting the first end and the second end. The outer surface of the first end and the outer surface of the second end are spherical surfaces with the same diameter, and the outer surface of the middle section is a cylindrical side surface connecting the two spherical surfaces. The housing can be placed into the ball seat of a downhole packer with the first end or the second end facing forward and block the ball seat. The data acquisition module is installed in the housing. The first end and the second end of the housing are provided with detection channels. The data acquisition module has a data acquisition processing chip and a first sensor arranged in the detection channel. The data acquisition processing chip is electrically connected with the first sensor. The first sensor is used for detecting the fluid parameters on both sides of the downhole packer. The data storage module is integrated in the data acquisition processing chip.

[0013] In a fourth aspect, the application further provides a downhole data acquisition method, which is implemented by using the data acquisition device described above. The downhole data acquisition method comprises the following steps:

[0014] The housing is placed into the downhole from the wellhead. The housing can be placed into the ball seat of a downhole packer with the first end or the second end facing forward and block the ball seat.

[0015] The data acquisition module in the housing acquires the fluid parameters on both sides of the downhole packer through the first sensor in the detection channel.

[0016] The data acquisition module transmits the fluid parameters to the data storage module.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following characteristics and advantages:

[0018] Firstly, the outer surface of the housing of the data acquisition device described in the application has a first end and a second end located at both ends of an axis thereof. A preferable housing structure is a gourd-shaped structure with one end larger and the other end smaller. The gourd-shaped structure can prevent the housing from continuously turning over in the wellbore during the placement process and failing to be seated for blocking, so that the data acquisition device of the application has the functions of blocking the flow passage of a downhole packer and acquiring data, i.e. has the functions of integrated blocking and acquisition and anti-overturning. At the same time, the housing in the application will be placed into the ball seat of a downhole packer with the first end or the second end facing forward to block the ball seat, so that the pressure, temperature or flow rate data on both sides of the downhole packer can be obtained through the detection channels arranged at both ends, and the downhole parameters such as the pressure, temperature or flow rate of the current fracturing section and the adjacent fractured section can be determined during the fracturing operation. Of course, the above technical purposes can also be achieved by using a shuttle-shaped housing and a gourd-shaped housing with obvious two ends.

[0019] Secondly, the data acquisition device has a gourd-shaped shell with two ends of different sizes, which can simultaneously satisfy the adaptation of downhole tools of different sizes (5.5in / 4.5in / 3.5in, etc.), and the small end is arranged to reduce the volume to save the material of the body, especially to reduce the residue of the soluble tool.

[0020] Thirdly, the data acquisition device and the downhole data acquisition method do not need to be sent by using oil pipes, casing pipes, cables, steel wires, etc., and can be directly put into the well for pumping without increasing additional construction processes.

[0021] Fourthly, the data acquisition device and the downhole data acquisition method provide two selectable data recovery methods, one of which can collect the downhole collected data in a wireless transmission mode, and the other of which can be recovered in a soluble shell and flowback body mode. The soluble shell mode can be dissolved by the downhole fluid in the downhole environment, restore the wellbore to be unobstructed, be conducive to subsequent operations, have the characteristics of high pressure resistance and high temperature resistance, and can be applied to ultra-deep wells and long horizontal section wells.

[0022] Fifthly, the data acquisition device can also be used for data acquisition in other detection environments such as oil and gas pipelines, underground pipelines, urban pipe networks, and mine tunnels, so as to realize the real-time detection of key data parameters such as pipeline blockage, water leakage, water level, flow rate, pressure, fluid medium, water quality, gas content, and medium detection.

[0063] According to one embodiment of the present application, the shell 1 is a soluble shell 1, and the data acquisition device 100 further comprises a flowback body 3 installed in the soluble shell 1. The data storage module 31 is arranged in the flowback body 3. The flowback body 3 can be released from the soluble shell 1 into the fluid medium and carry the data storage module 31 back with the fluid medium after the soluble shell 1 is dissolved.

[0064] The data acquisition device 100 of the embodiment of the present application realizes the recovery of the downhole data through the melting and flowback mode. No operation tool such as tubing, cable or steel wire is needed. The soluble shell 1 is directly put into the preset detection position of the detection environment, so that the temperature, pressure and other data at the preset detection position are collected by the internal data acquisition module 2 and stored by the data storage module 31 of the internal flowback body 3. Then, the soluble shell 1 is dissolved by the fluid medium of the detection environment at a preset time, so that the internal flowback body 3 is released and carries the data storage module 31 back to the drop port with the fluid medium. Thus, the data can be read by collecting the flowback body 3 and taking out the data storage module 31, without the need of adding an extra process.

[0065] The flowback body 3 can return to the drop port with the fluid medium by using the blowout pressure of the fluid medium and / or using the buoyancy of the fluid medium. The liquid is pumped into the well by a hydraulic pump and pushes the soluble shell 1 to be lowered to the preset detection position in the well, and then the wellhead valve is closed. After a preset time, that is, after the data acquisition operation is completed, the wellhead valve is opened for blowout, so that the blowout pressure of the fluid medium in the well is generated. The density of the flowback body 3 is less than the density of the fluid medium, so that the flowback body 3 can float up after being released from the soluble shell 1.

[0066] Specifically, the material of the conventional shell 1 can be steel, resin, plastic, rubber and other common materials, while the material of the soluble shell 1 in the embodiment is soluble aluminum or soluble magnesium alloy, that is, the first shell 14 and the second shell 15 can be made of soluble metal entirely or partially, and of course other materials soluble in the fluid medium can be used to make the soluble shell 1 according to the characteristics of the fluid medium; the soluble shell 1 is not limited to being dissolved entirely to release the flowback body 3 after the preset time, but can be partially dissolved to form a release port for the flowback body 3 to be released from the release port after the preset time. The screen can be arranged at the drop port to capture and collect the returned flowback body 3. In the embodiment of the application, the preset time is four to ten hours.

[0067] Specifically, the material of the flowback body 3 has a density less than 1 g / cm 3 In the embodiment, the density of the flowback body 3 is 0.5 g / cm 3 ~0.9 g / cm 3 The flowback body 3 can be made of plastic alloy, polyester fiber or resin and other lightweight materials to meet the density requirement, or can be a hollow shell filled with lightweight material to meet the density requirement. In addition, to ensure that the flowback body 3 can carry the data storage module 31 back to the drop port and minimize the volume of the flowback body 3, the diameter or side length of the flowback body 3 is 10 mm to 45 mm in the embodiment of the application.

[0068] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the data acquisition device 100 using the soluble shell 1 and the flowback body 3 can be applied to downhole data acquisition, especially for downhole data acquisition of deep wells and long horizontal section wells. The detection environment is the downhole environment, the drop port is the wellhead, and the preset detection position in the well can be any position in any well section or layer, or the downhole packer tool 200 can be arranged at the preset detection position to pack, and then the data acquisition device 100 (i.e., the soluble shell 1 with the flowback body 3 and the data acquisition module 2) can be dropped from the wellhead to the downhole packer tool 200, and the internal data acquisition module 2 can be used to acquire downhole data and transmit the data to the data storage module 31 for storage. Then, after the soluble shell 1 is dissolved, the flowback body 3 can carry the data storage module 31 back to the drop port, so that the data storage module 31 can be taken out by collecting the flowback body 3, and the ground reading device can be used to read the data. Therefore, without other operation tools and additional processes, the data acquisition device 100 can be lowered and the data storage module 31 can be recovered, so that the downhole data can be acquired, and then the intuitive data basis can be provided for fast interpretation and evaluation of the formation, analysis and judgment of the reservoir reconstruction effect, identification and analysis of the wellbore operation, and interpretation and evaluation of the production status.

[0069] According to one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the data acquisition device 100 has a first use state and a second use state; in the first use state, the dissolvable shell 1 can be launched from the launch port to the preset detection position of the detection environment and can be dissolved by the fluid medium of the detection environment after a preset time, so that the return discharge body 3 can be released from the dissolvable shell 1 into the fluid medium and carry the data storage module 31 back to the launch port with the fluid medium; in the second use state, the dissolvable shell 1 can be launched from the launch port into the detection environment and reach the preset collection position before the return discharge body 3 is released by the dissolution of the fluid medium of the detection environment.

[0070] Specifically, the first use state is the return discharge release phase described above. When the detection environment is convenient to set the preset collection position, it can also not need to carry the data storage module 31 back to the launch port by releasing the return discharge body 3, at this time, the second use state can be used; for example, when the detection environment is a pipeline with an input port and an output port, the input port of the pipeline can be used as the launch port, and the output port of the pipeline can be used as the collection port of the preset collection position, so that by controlling the dissolution of the dissolvable shell 1, it can be transported from the launch port to the collection port without being dissolved by the fluid medium to release the return discharge body 3.

[0071] According to one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2, the data acquisition device 100 further comprises a conductive elastic structure 5, the conductive elastic structure 5 is in a compressed state between the return discharge body 3 and the data acquisition module 2, and the return discharge body 3 is in abutting contact with the conductive elastic structure 5, and the data storage module 31 is electrically connected with the data acquisition module 2 through the conductive elastic structure 5.

[0072] Specifically, one side of the return discharge body 3 is in abutting contact with the data acquisition module 2, and the other side of the return discharge body 3 is in abutting contact with the dissolvable shell 1, so as to realize the limiting of the return discharge body 3 in the containing cavity 16 and electrically connect the data storage module 31 with the data acquisition module 2, so that after the dissolvable shell 1 is dissolved, the return discharge body 3 can be separated from the data acquisition module 2 and released from the containing cavity 16, but in order to ensure that the return discharge body 3 can be successfully released, as shown in FIG. 4, the data acquisition device 100 further comprises a conductive elastic structure 5, the conductive elastic structure 5 is in a compressed state between the return discharge body 3 and the data acquisition module 2, and the return discharge body 3 is in abutting contact with the conductive elastic structure 5, and the data storage module 31 is electrically connected with the data acquisition module 2 through the conductive elastic structure 5. When the dissolvable shell 1 is dissolved and one side of the return discharge body 3 loses the limiting force, the return discharge body 3 will be released from the containing cavity 16 under the action of the elastic restoring force of the conductive elastic structure 5.

[0073] Specifically, the conductive elastic structure 5 includes a plurality of spring pins 51 arranged at intervals, and can also be other elastic structures made of conductive material. The spring pins 51 can be two to ten. One end of the spring pins 51 can be fixed on the data acquisition and processing chip 21 by welding or other fixed connection, and the other end of the spring pins 51 is in contact with the return body 3 and is electrically connected with the internal data storage module 31.

[0074] According to one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2, the data acquisition device 100 further includes a reinforcing elastic structure 6, which is in a compressed state and is arranged between the return body 3 and the soluble shell 1, and the return body 3 abuts against the reinforcing elastic structure 6.

[0075] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, in order to further improve the reliability of the release of the return body 3, the data acquisition device 100 further includes a reinforcing elastic structure 6, which is in a compressed state and is arranged between the return body 3 and the soluble shell 1, and the return body 3 abuts against the reinforcing elastic structure 6. By arranging the reinforcing elastic structure 6, when the soluble shell 1 is dissolved and the one side of the reinforcing elastic structure 6 loses the limiting force, the elastic restoring force is released, thereby pressing the return body 3 downward to the conductive elastic structure 5 to increase the compression degree of the conductive elastic structure 5, and further releasing a larger elastic restoring force to push the return body 3 out of the accommodating cavity 16.

[0076] The reinforcing elastic structure 6 includes a spring 61, and can also be other elastic members. As shown in FIG. 2, the first recess 161 is provided with a first step surface, the second recess 162 is provided with a second step surface, and the data acquisition and processing chip 21, the conductive elastic structure 5, the return body 3 and the reinforcing elastic structure 6 are limited in the axial direction of the soluble shell 1 between the second step surface and the first step surface. As shown in FIG. 4, the data acquisition and processing chip 21, the conductive elastic structure 5, the return body 3 and the reinforcing elastic structure 6 are limited in the axial direction of the soluble shell 1 between the groove bottom surface of the second recess 162 and the groove bottom surface of the first recess 161.

[0077] In summary, the data acquisition device 100 of the embodiment of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0078] First, the shell 1 in the embodiment of the application is designed as a large and small spherical surface plus a smooth transition surface. When the shell 1 is used in the downhole casing 300 environment, the overall outer diameter of the shell 1 does not exceed the inner diameter of the casing 300. Compared with other non-spherical shell 1 structures, the length is shorter and the volume is smaller.

[0079] Second, the shell 1 in the embodiment of the application is designed as a large and small spherical surface plus a smooth transition surface. The large and small spherical surfaces are located at both ends of the shell along the central axis. The shell has obvious left and right ends, and the first sensor 22 is installed at both ends. When the shell 1 enters the downhole casing 300 and continuously turns, the large-diameter spherical surface (the first spherical surface 111) or the small-diameter spherical surface (the second spherical surface 121) can keep the other spherical surface in the opposite position on the central axis when it is seated on the spherical surface 204. In the reservoir reconstruction construction, the sealing effect of the downhole isolation tool 200 can be effectively judged. If the pressure difference between the left and right ends of the shell 1 (the two ends sealed by the downhole isolation tool 200) is different, it indicates that the downhole isolation tool 200 is effective. Correspondingly, if there is no pressure difference between the left and right ends of the shell 1 (the two ends sealed by the downhole isolation tool 200), it indicates that the sealing is ineffective. Further, the pressure, temperature or flow rate of the current fracturing section and the adjacent fractured section can be determined in the fracturing construction. After the data storage module 31 is recovered after the blowout and discharge, the sealing effectiveness of the downhole isolation tool 200 and the downhole construction conditions can be analyzed and judged by reading the downhole parameters in the fracturing construction process. The problem that the existing downhole collection device cannot analyze and judge the sealing effect of the reservoir reconstruction isolation tool is effectively solved.

[0080] Third, the shell 1 in the embodiment of the application is designed as a large and small spherical surface plus a smooth transition surface. When the large-diameter spherical surface (the first spherical surface 111) and the small-diameter spherical surface (the second spherical surface 121) are not seated on the spherical surface 204, the smooth transition surface can smoothly ensure that the spherical surface is seated on the spherical surface 204 through relative sliding, so as to normally collect data such as pressure and temperature on both sides.

[0081] Fourth, the data storage module 31 is built in the discharge body 3, and the discharge body 3 is built in the data collection device 100. The volume of the discharge body 3 is minimized. After the soluble shell 1 is dissolved, the discharge body 3 can return to the wellhead under the blowout pressure. Then, the data storage module 31 is recovered after capturing the discharge body 3. The downhole data stored in the data storage module 31 can be read, and the reliability of the discharge body 3 returning to the launching port is improved. The problem that the large-size spherical body in the commonly used discharge mode is difficult to discharge in deep wells, long horizontal wells and low-pressure wells, has low reliability and poor implementability is effectively solved.

[0082] Fifth, the embodiment of the application can effectively reduce the overall weight of the flowback body 3 by filling the flowback body 3 with light material or using light material to make the flowback body 3, so that the density of the flowback body 3 is less than the density of the downhole fluid medium, thereby floating in the liquid and being easy to flow back after the blowout.

[0083] Sixth, the embodiment of the application sets the compressive conductive elastic structure 5 between the flowback body 3 and the data acquisition module 2, which can realize the electrical connection between the data acquisition module 2 and the data storage module 31, and can use the elastic restoring force of the conductive elastic structure 5 to push out the flowback body 3 after the soluble shell 1 is dissolved.

[0084] Seventh, the embodiment of the application sets the compressive reinforcing elastic structure 6 between the flowback body 3 and the soluble shell 1, which can further improve the elastic restoring force of the conductive elastic structure 5 after the shell 1 is dissolved, and ensure that the flowback body 3 can be successfully pushed out and released into the wellbore.
