The embodiment of the application provides a method for measuring the water content of an oil-water mixed liquid in an oil well, and the method can be applied to the field of oil field development. Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for determining water content of a mixture of oil and water in an oil well according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and referring to fig. 1, the method includes:
in step 101, oil-water separation is performed on the oil-water mixture of the target oil well to obtain an oil sample and a water sample in the oil-water mixture.

In step 107, the average of the water contents at the plurality of different water levels is set as the water content of the oil-water mixture of the target well.
The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application has the following beneficial effects:
after an oil sample and a water sample of a target oil well are obtained through oil-water separation, oil-water mixed liquid with various different water contents is prepared, a plurality of groups of resistivity determination plates are horizontally arranged in an experiment pipe horizontally placed in experiment equipment, the resistivity of each oil-water mixed liquid at various water levels is detected, and the corresponding relation among the water level, the water content and the resistivity is obtained. When the water content of the target oil well is measured, a plurality of groups of resistivity measuring plates are installed in a horizontal pipe section of a wellhead pipeline of the target oil well, the target resistivity of the oil-water mixed liquid in the horizontal pipe section at a plurality of different water levels is detected, the water content of the oil-water mixed liquid in the target oil well at the plurality of different water levels is determined, and the average value of the water content at the plurality of different water levels is used as the water content of the oil-water mixed liquid in the target oil well. By adopting the method and the device, the operation flow is simplified, the oil-water mixed liquid is not required to be sampled and sent to a laboratory for detection, and the timeliness of the detection of the water content can be improved.
FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a method for measuring water content of a mixed oil-water solution in an oil well according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 2, the embodiment includes:
in step 201, oil-water separation is performed on the oil-water mixture of the target oil well to obtain an oil sample and a water sample in the oil-water mixture.
In practice, the oil-water mixture is extracted from the target well to obtain an oil-water mixture for the target well, and then an oil-water separation experiment is performed in a laboratory. According to the density difference of water and oil, the separation of an oil sample and a water sample can be realized through gravity settling.
In step 202, a plurality of oil-water mixtures with different water contents are prepared based on the oil sample and the water sample.
In the implementation, after technical staff obtain water sample and oil sample in the laboratory, add the water sample in the oil sample gradually, in the in-process of adding the water sample, prepare the oil water mixed solution that obtains multiple different moisture contents. Wherein, the water content of various types can include 1%, 2%, 8230, 823099%.
In step 203, the number of water levels for which resistivity needs to be detected is determined based on the water content range of the oil reservoir corresponding to the target well.
In the implementation, in the production process of a target oil well, due to the difference of oil-water density and the instability of water content, the water content of different water levels in a wellhead pipeline is different, and the resistivity of the wellhead pipeline is also different, so that the number of the water levels of which the resistivity needs to be detected can be determined according to the water content range of an oil layer. Firstly, a technician can obtain the water content range of the oil layer corresponding to the target oil well according to the interpretation data of the oil layer. Then, according to the corresponding relation between the pre-stored water content range and the number of the water levels of which the resistivity needs to be detected, the number of the water levels of which the resistivity needs to be detected and which correspond to the water content range of the oil layer corresponding to the target oil well can be determined.
In one possible embodiment, the pre-stored water cut range and the number of water levels for which resistivity needs to be detected may be in the form of a table or a curve.
For example, the technician may prepare a table of the water content range and the number of water levels at which the resistivity needs to be detected in advance, and find the number of water levels at which the resistivity needs to be detected corresponding to the water content range in the table after obtaining the water content range of the oil reservoir corresponding to the target oil well. In the correspondence relationship between the water content range and the number of water levels for which resistivity needs to be detected, the larger the value of the water content range, the larger the number of water levels for which resistivity needs to be detected.
In step 204, the number of sets of resistivity survey plates is determined based on the number of water levels for which resistivity surveys are desired.
Wherein, the outer side of the resistivity determination plate is an insulating object, and the inner side material is one of graphite, platinum, nickel, copper and aluminum.
In implementation, after acquiring the number of the water levels of which the resistivity needs to be detected, the technician may use the number of the water levels of which the resistivity needs to be detected as the number of the groups of the resistivity measurement plates.
In step 203 and step 204, a technician may determine the number of water levels requiring resistivity detection according to the water content range of the oil layer corresponding to the target oil well, and use the number of water levels requiring resistivity detection as the group number of resistivity determination plates.
For example, when the target well corresponds to a low water content reservoir, i.e., a water content in the range of 0 to 20%, the number of water levels corresponding to the resistivity to be detected may be 1, and a set of resistivity measuring plates may be installed in the wellhead pipeline of the well. When the oil layer corresponding to the target oil well is a medium water-containing oil layer, namely the water content range is 20-60%, the number of the corresponding water levels needing to detect the resistivity can be 2, and two groups of resistivity measuring plates can be arranged in a wellhead pipeline of the oil well. When the oil layer corresponding to the target oil well is a high water-bearing oil layer, namely the water content range is 60-90%, the number of the corresponding water levels needing to detect the resistivity can be 3, and three groups of resistivity measuring plates can be arranged in a wellhead pipeline of the oil well. When the oil layer corresponding to the target oil well is an ultra-high water-content oil layer, namely the water content is more than 90%, the number of the corresponding water levels needing to detect the resistivity can be 4, and four groups of resistivity determination plates can be arranged in a wellhead pipeline of the oil well.
In one possible embodiment, when the water content range of the corresponding oil layer of the target oil well has a smaller value, a plurality of groups of resistivity measuring plates can be used, and the detected value is more accurate.
In step 205, a plurality of resistivity measurement plates are horizontally installed in a horizontally placed experiment tube of the experiment apparatus, and the resistivity of each oil-water mixture at a plurality of different water levels is detected to obtain the corresponding relationship among the water level, the water content and the resistivity.
The first radial section of the experiment tube is divided into a plurality of equal-area areas by intersecting lines of a plurality of planes where a plurality of groups of resistivity measurement plates in the experiment tube are respectively located and the first radial section.
In the implementation, the laboratory is provided with experimental equipment for simulating a wellhead pipeline in a target oil well, after the group number of the resistivity measuring plates required by the target oil well is obtained, the group number of the resistivity measuring plates are horizontally installed in the horizontally placed experimental pipes of the experimental equipment, and each group of the resistivity measuring plates corresponds to one water level. Inputting the prepared oil-water mixed liquid with various water contents into an experimental tube, and detecting the resistivity of each oil-water mixed liquid at a plurality of different water levels by using a resistivity measuring plate to obtain the corresponding relation among the water level, the water content and the resistivity.
For example, after obtaining an oil sample and a water sample through oil-water separation, a technician may first take a certain amount of the oil sample, measure the resistivity of the oil sample, gradually add the water sample to the oil sample, prepare an oil-water mixture with a water content of 1% to 99%, measure the resistivity of the oil-water mixture with a water content of 1% to 99%, and prepare a resistivity table of the target oil well with different water contents, where a, B, C, and D in the table represent the resistivities corresponding to 1%, 2%, 98%, and 99%, and the technician may perform subsequent operations according to the table, as shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
Resistivity of A B …… C D
Water content ratio 1% 2% …… 98% 99%
For example, fig. 3 is a graph showing a change tendency of resistivity with water content, the conductivity of the oil-water mixture is related to the water content of the oil-water mixture, and the resistivity is decreased as the conductivity is better as the water content is higher. As shown in FIG. 3, when the water content is low, for example, 1% to 40%, the conductivity is poor and the resistivity is large. When the water content is moderate, such as 40% to 70%, the conductivity is enhanced, the resistivity is reduced, and the resistivity changes faster with the water content. When the water content is higher, such as 70% to 90%, the conductivity is strong, the resistivity is small, and the change of the resistivity along with the water content is slow. In addition, when the oil-water mixture is electrolyzed, the electrolysis pressure of the oil-water mixture is constant, when the passing current changes, the resistivity of the oil-water mixture changes, the passing current is related to the water content of the oil-water mixture, the conductivity is higher when the water content of the oil-water mixture is larger, the passing current is higher, and therefore the water content of the oil-water mixture is related to the resistivity of the oil-water mixture.
In step 206, when the water content of the target oil well is measured, a plurality of groups of resistivity measuring plates are installed in a horizontal pipe section of a wellhead pipeline of the target oil well, and the target resistivity of the oil-water mixed liquid in the horizontal pipe section at a plurality of different water levels is detected.
The horizontal pipe section of the experiment pipe and the horizontal pipe section of the wellhead pipeline have the same structure, and the number of resistivity measurement plate groups in the experiment pipe is the same as that of the resistivity measurement plate groups in the horizontal pipe section of the wellhead pipeline. The radial section is divided into a plurality of equal-area areas by the intersection lines of a plurality of planes in which a plurality of groups of resistivity measurement plates in the horizontal section of the wellhead pipeline of the target oil well are respectively located and the radial section of the horizontal section.
In implementation, a technician may horizontally install the same number of resistivity measurement plates as the experiment tube in the horizontal pipe section of the wellhead pipeline of the target oil well, and detect the target resistivity of the oil-water mixture in the wellhead pipeline of the target oil well at a plurality of different water levels according to the resistivity measurement plates horizontally installed in the horizontal pipe section.
In one possible embodiment, when the number of sets of resistivity measuring plates is one, the resistivity measuring plates are installed horizontally after selecting a water level corresponding to the middle of the wellhead pipeline in the horizontal section of the wellhead pipeline of the target well. When the number of the resistivity measuring plates is multiple, different water levels are selected in the same area in the horizontal pipe section of the wellhead pipeline of the target oil well, after the first water level is selected, the first group of resistivity measuring plates are horizontally installed, after the second water level is selected, the second group of resistivity measuring plates are horizontally installed, and the multiple groups of resistivity measuring plates are sequentially installed.
In a possible embodiment, when the water content of the target oil well is measured, and the number of the resistivity measurement plates is one, a technician may contact the electrode points on the two electrode plates of the resistivity measurement plate set by using a resistivity tester according to the resistivity measurement plate installed horizontally, and use the measured resistivity as the resistivity measured by the resistivity measurement plate set, so as to obtain the target resistivity of the oil-water mixture in the horizontal pipe section of the wellhead pipeline of the target oil well.
In another possible embodiment, when the resistivity measurement plates are in multiple groups during the water cut measurement of the target oil well, a technician may detect the resistivity of the oil-water mixture at multiple different water levels in the horizontal pipe section of the wellhead pipeline of the target oil well according to the multiple groups of resistivity measurement plates installed horizontally, so as to obtain the target resistivity at the multiple different water levels.
The embodiment of the application also provides equipment for measuring the water content of the oil-water mixed liquid in the oil well, and the equipment can be an experimental pipe placed for the level of the experimental equipment and also can be a horizontal pipe section of a wellhead pipeline of a target oil well because the experimental pipe has the same structure with the horizontal pipe section of the wellhead pipeline. Fig. 4 is a side sectional view of an apparatus for measuring a water content of an oil-water mixture in an oil well according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 5 is a top sectional view of the apparatus for measuring a water content of an oil-water mixture in an oil well according to the embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 6 is a sectional view of the apparatus for measuring a water content of an oil-water mixture in an oil well according to the embodiment of the present invention, taken along a flow direction of the oil-water mixture.

As shown in fig. 5, the resistivity measuring plate is horizontally fixed in the wellhead pipeline 2 by a fixing shaft 7, the electrode points on the electrode plates are all extended out of the wellhead pipeline 2, and the resistivity between the electrode plates can be measured by contacting the electrode points on the two electrode plates with a resistivity tester. When the electrode point 5-1 and the electrode point 5-2 are contacted with a resistivity tester, the resistivity between the electrode plate 3-1 and the electrode plate 3-2 can be measured. When the electrode point 6-1 and the electrode point 6-2 are contacted with a resistivity tester, the resistivity between the electrode plate 4-1 and the electrode plate 4-2 can be measured.
As shown in FIG. 6, the electrode plate 3-1 and the electrode plate 3-2 are at the same water level, and the electrode plate 4-1 and the electrode plate 4-2 are at the same water level. The resistivity measurement plates are arranged in the vertical direction, namely the resistivity measurement plates are aligned in the vertical direction, the electrode plate 3-2 and the electrode plate 4-2 are aligned in the vertical direction, and the electrode plate 3-1 and the electrode plate 4-1 are aligned in the vertical direction. And if a plurality of groups of resistivity measurement plates are installed according to equal area, namely the area formed by the upper electrode plate 3-1, the electrode plate 3-2 and the upper wellhead pipeline, the area formed by the electrode plate 3-1, the electrode plate 3-2, the electrode plate 4-1 and the electrode plate 4-2 and the area formed by the electrode plate 4-1, the electrode plate 4-2 and the lower wellhead pipeline are equal.
In step 207, the water content of the oil-water mixed liquid in the target oil well at a plurality of different water levels is determined based on the corresponding relation among the water levels, the water content and the resistivity and the target resistivity at the plurality of different water levels.
In implementation, after target resistivities of the oil-water mixed liquid at a plurality of different water levels in a horizontal pipe section of a wellhead pipeline of a target oil well are obtained, the water contents of the oil-water mixed liquid at the different water levels in the target oil well are found by referring to the corresponding relations among the water levels, the water contents and the resistivities.
