Transmission model of transient flow wave signal in intelligent layered water injection system
JOURNAL OF PETROLEUM EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY(2023)
Abstract
Fluid wave code communication is used in layered water injection intelligent monitoring system, but model of fluid transient flow wave signal transmission is still unknown. Based on the fluid energy equation of steady flow, a transmission mathematical model of fluid transient flow wave signal in intelligent layered water injection system was established. The model can accurately describe the transient flow wave transmission characteristics in the tubular string of water injection wells. The transient flow wave signals and influencing factors generated by the ground electric control valve and the downhole water distributor were studied, and the transmission mechanism of the signal in the water injection tubular string was revealed. Studies show that ground and downhole transient flow wave signals are generated by discharge changes caused by changes in the opening degree of the ground valve and the downhole water distributor. The length of the water injection tube has no effect on the downlink transmission of the wellhead signal, but has a certain influence on the uploading of the downhole signal. Numerical calculations show that the flow rate of the water injection tube has a great influence on the amplitude of the pressure signal. The larger flow rate can generate larger signal amplitude, which is beneficial to the signal transmission, signal detection and processing. It was verified by the experiments and simulations that the pressure and flow changes in the downhole and wellhead had good consistency during the transmission of transient flow waves. It is found that the greater the variation of opening degree, the greater the amplitude of transient flow wave signal, which is beneficial to the wave signal transmission. The optimal settings for the valve opening are selected as 100%⇄ 0% . This study has theoretical guiding significance for the design and performance improvement of fluid wave code communication systems.
