Description

Differential type projection mutual capacitance type oil-water interface monitoring system and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of salt cavern gas storage, in particular to a differential type projection mutual capacitance type oil-water interface monitoring system and method.
Background
The salt cavern gas storage is built by taking salt mine as a solution cavity gas storage mode through a fresh water injection mode, and the process comprises the following steps: downwards driving into pipelines such as a central pipe, a middle pipe, a sleeve pipe and the like through drilling; dissolving by injecting fresh water, discharging liquid at the bottom of the gas storage by a drain pipe, and injecting isolating liquid into a gap between a water injection pipe and a sleeve to avoid top dissolution; and continuously adjusting parameters according to technical parameters such as the salinity of liquid at the bottom of the gas storage, and controlling the geometric shape and the volume of the underground cavity, so as to finally obtain the gas storage meeting the design requirements. During the construction and use process, the gas-liquid interface height must be controlled and regulated to control the shape of the top plate of the dissolution cavity, for example, improper control can dissolve the top of the cavity, destroy the geometric shape of the cavity and weaken the pressure maintaining capacity of the cavity. Meanwhile, after the gas storage is built and put into use, strict sealing is required, a permanent packer is used on the central pipe, so that a wired measurement method which can be used in the building process can not be used, and meanwhile, the underground environment condition is more severe, and the existing measurement method and device are difficult to meet the requirements.
In patent CN201711050272.2, "measuring method and device of gas-liquid interface depth of salt cavern gas storage", a method and device of liquid level measurement of salt cavern gas storage are related, which use sensors and cables to realize real-time continuous and large-scale monitoring of gas-liquid depth interface, but because the measurement uses wired cables for sensor installation and signal transmission, the problem of gas leakage is easy to cause, and the method and device are only suitable for gas-liquid interface distance measurement in the environment without permanent packer in the gas storage construction period.
In a patent CN202010233971.6, "a method and a system for measuring a gas-liquid interface of a salt cavern gas storage based on a sound velocity difference", an ultrasonic signal is used as a ranging signal, and the liquid level measurement is performed by measuring an ultrasonic transmitting-receiving time difference; in patent CN201921840592.2, "a gas-liquid interface measuring device for salt cavern gas storage", a laser signal is used as a ranging signal, which measures the liquid level by measuring the laser emission-reception time difference. The wireless distance measurement is realized by the two methods, but only the depth of a gas-liquid interface can be measured, and the position of an oil-water interface cannot be further distinguished. Therefore, how to measure the oil-water interface position in the salt cavern gas storage is a problem to be solved.
