Description
The present invention relates to a kind of measuring position of cementing plug method and device thereof.
At present, judging that the common method of plug where is by measuring the mud amount of pump when replacing mud in the cementing, is that the sleeve pipe internal volume calculates according to casing size.But because mud flow rate measurement mechanism (volume measuring tank or the turbine flowmeter) precision of most well cementation usefulness is not high, or calculates the mud amount that pumps into by the strokes per minute of measuring pump, because of being subjected to the influence of pump work efficient, this metering result also is inaccurate.Exist U type tube effect in the well cementation process in addition (in the cementing process, because the cement slurry density in the sleeve pipe is greater than the density of casing annulus mud, and cause in the sleeve pipe head of liquid greater than sleeve pipe casing annulus head of liquid, cause the interior cement paste of sleeve pipe by the dirty voluntarily phenomenon of density contrast), make the position of plug more be difficult to accurately determine.For the well cementation of unstable well, because annular space exposes caving in of stratum etc., easily cause the cementing process to be obstructed, pump pressure is raise.If when replacing mud amount near design flow at this moment, can judge by accident breaks thinks that plug has arrived float collar (retainer ring) and located, and stops for mud, causes the interior cement plug of pipe long, and annular space cement returns the high deficiency, fails to reach the requirement of well cementation.Sometimes, plug has arrived the float collar bruising, thinks that but it is because the annular space formation collapse causes that pump pressure raises by mistake, and takes to replace by force the mud measure, causes the float collar damage, is replaced sky in the pipe, can not guarantee the cementing quality at casing shoe place.For drilling liner cementing, when the drilling rod plug meets with sleeve pipe plug (bottom plug or say the hollow plug), whether cuts off pin, when meeting the float collar bruising, all is the key factors that guarantee that cementing operation is finished smoothly, and at the scene in the practice of construction, raise by pump pressure and to judge, do not accomplish sometimes.
By the patent US5105883 sleeve pipe limiting joint of Robert E.Bode invention, mainly there are the body (being equivalent to a short sleeve) of screw thread and the plug defining baffle of assembling in it to form by the two ends car.It generally is connected on the casing string apart from float collar 150-200 foot place, when cementing arrives it for the mud plug, will be subjected to the obstruction of plug defining baffle, thereby causes demonstrating for the mud plug and having arrived sleeve pipe limiting joint position for slush pump voltage rise height.The major defect of this method is the workload that has increased casing job, has changed the structure of casing string, and the intensity of decannulation limiting joint body should meet outside the requirement of Strength Design of Casing Strings, also will avoid when perforation, to the short sleeve location influence.Simultaneously, the pump pressure signal display apparatus simply is difficult to analyze some special circumstances, because in the mud process, cause that the reason of pump pressure rising is more, as annular space formation collapse, back pressure valve obstruction etc.This patent can't regularly be measured the position of plug in the down-hole, promptly can not measure at an arbitrary position, and its sleeve pipe limiting joint complex structure, might become nonvolatilly sometimes, so that influences oil field operation.
Show according to the field statistics data, owing to the inaccurate problem that causes of plug position judgment accounts for 10% of well cementation mouthful number.Therefore, in the cementing process, regularly, the location monitor out the plug position,, guarantee that cementing quality has crucial meaning assurance cementing dynamic process.On-the-spot urgent need has such method and instrument.

The invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiment:
A kind of measuring position of cementing plug method and device thereof, this device is made up of cementing plug ring washer, plug, pressure sensor, pressure signal measuring circuit, plug desired location counting circuit, A/D plate, microcomputer, microcomputer links by A/D plate, pressure signal measuring circuit and pressure sensor, realizes data acquisition and processing.The main cementing plug Position Finding Device of being made up of pressure signal measuring circuit and plug desired location counting circuit can directly show measurement result.Its measuring method (being the position mensuration) is as follows:
Well section in need tracking plug position adds the plug ring washer in advance in its corresponding casing string, when mud was replaced in cementing, plug and ring washer were collided and sent pressure signal, were determined the position at plug place by the ground-pressure pick-up reception.The plug ring washer is placed in the breach of sleeve pipe junction (it can not influence the intensity, latus rectum etc. of the connection of sleeve pipe and casing string, and place convenient, rapidly), and its structure is seen Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.The plug back-up ring is the annulus of being made by the high temperature resistant nylon or the pig iron, some protrusion pieces are arranged on the annulus inner ring, the back-up ring outer diameter D is greater than casing inner diameter and smaller or equal to sleeve pipe junction breach internal diameter, back-up ring inner diameter d 1 equals casing inner diameter, the protrusion piece inner diameter d 2 of back-up ring is less than nuclear diameter in the plug, and the thickness h of back-up ring is smaller or equal to the width of sleeve pipe junction breach.The protrusion piece internal diameter of back-up ring is less than more than the nuclear diameter 5mm in the plug, and each protrudes piece length b along the circumferential direction is 20mm.Preferably three of protrusion pieces on the plug back-up ring, three protrude piece and are in hexagonal angle.Plug ring washer dimension D, d1 are complementary with the respective sleeve size respectively, and sleeve pipe commonly used has 244.5mm, 177.8mm, 139.7mm, 127mm several.For API standard round retaining ring pipe, h is 25.4mm.For in the mud process, continuously monitor the variation of pump pressure by pressure sensor in cementing, when plug and ring washer met, pump pressure raise, and pressure sensor will receive this pressure rising signal, through the position that signal circuit is handled, analysis draws the plug place.After pressure is elevated to certain numerical value, will cuts off three and protrude piece, pump pressure is restored, and plug passes through, and collides with next ring washer again, follows the tracks of the position that plug is arrived with this in replacing the mud process.
For getting rid of the erroneous judgement that pump pressure that other reason causes raises and causes, the amplitude that raises according to pump pressure (compression wave), the shape and the feature of ripple, with the known pump pressure lift mode of this method relatively, judge that whether genuine and back-up ring collide for the mud plug.
In the well cementation process, first lower casing string, and place the plug back-up ring, and then cement injection.Before the cement injection, first circulating mud, then by the cementing head cement injection, has annotated design flow after, replace mud top plug, make the plug ring washer of plug, until the bruising of arrival float collar by placing in advance on the tubing string.Simultaneously, cement paste returns into annular space through guide shoe and needs sealing well section in the pipe.For available said method in the mud process tracking measurement is being carried out in the plug position.
The cementing plug Position Finding Device comprises pressure signal processing circuit, plug desired location counting circuit and A/D plate, and measured value shows with voltage signal, and is converted to data signal input Computer Processing by the A/D plate and draws measurement result.Fig. 3 is a plug desired location counting circuit schematic diagram of the present invention, and REF is that preset level value, Z1 are that ann reset end, Z2 are that clear terminal, FG1～FG6 are counting indicator lamp signal among the figure.
In addition, because the present invention has carried out continuously or the tracking and monitoring that is interrupted cementing plug, thereby can detect the U type tube effect that produces in the cementing process, be beneficial to the cementing process is carried out dynamic analysis and control, and can arrive the required pump of float collar bruising towards sum thereby calculate plug according to calculating pump efficiency (the actual output liquid amount of pump is the ratio of corresponding casing string internal volume output liquid amount theoretical with it) for mud plug position.These all are the powerful measure that improve well cementation success rate and cementing quality.Certainty of measurement of the present invention is 0.3 meter.
Also have a kind of measuring method (i.e. timing mensuration) as follows without the plug back-up ring:
Be exactly to replace in the mud process, can measure the residing position of plug at any time in cementing.Measuring method is carried out in two kinds of situation, and the one, under the empty situation of permission closed-in well choma, carry out; The 2nd, in well, carry out under the constricted flow situation.Specifically be described below respectively:
In cementing in the mud process, when needs know that what position plug arrive, slow closed-in well choma sky earlier, again with little discharge capacity for mud, allow pump pressure raise behind 0.5～1MPa, can open the well head annular space, change normal cementing job over to.Owing to have plug in the sleeve pipe, the mud pressure ripple is delivered to behind the plug the reflected back well head from well head, gathers this pressure wave signal by the pressure sensor that is installed in well head.The position H that can calculate plug according to the time difference △ T and the spread speed V of compression wave in mud of compression wave transmission and reflection.
H=(1／2)·V·△T
When reasons such as cave-in takes place cause cementing to replace mud to be obstructed, can closed-in well choma sky, but directly utilize the back pump pressure rising signal that is obstructed to detect the position of plug, its principle is same as a kind of measuring method.
In order to improve the precision of regularly measuring the plug position, need to survey the spread speed of accurate compression wave in mud of living in, can be when plug arrives permanent position (as certain plug ring washer well depth or the float collar well depth in the location survey), measure pressure rising signal one time, be delivered to the reflection interval behind the permanent position and calculate the spread speed of compression wave in mud exactly according to compression wave, draw the residing position of plug when regularly measuring exactly with this.
