Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved activation and measurement device for a non-eruptive well during production and in particular for a deviated well by designating by this term any well of which at least part has a more or less strong inclination with respect to the vertical and / or substantially horizontal parts.
  • a device for activating and measuring logging for wells equipped for production of the non-eruptive type and are described. especially for deviated wells.
  • the devices described are particularly suitable for wells equipped for the production of petroleum effluents. They make it possible to determine the most favorable portions of the wells, especially when they cross heterogeneous reservoirs producing oil but also water and gas.
  • the equipment of a well generally comprises a casing or casing tube held in place by cementing. Throughout the area intended for production, a perforated tube (or liner) is installed over at least part of its length which extends the casing.
  • This perforated tube can possibly be cemented, the cemented annular being provided with passages putting the production area in communication with the tube.
  • a production column is lowered, formed by connecting successive sections.
  • This column is provided with centering elements relative to the tube.
  • Sealing means are arranged in the annular space between the column and the tube, so as to channel into the column all of the effluents produced by the production area.
  • the well not being eruptive, means of activation or pumping are associated with the column and lowered into the well to suck the effluents.
  • These activation means comprise for example a pump driven in rotation by an electric or hydraulic motor.
  • the device comprises at least one set of measuring instruments placed at the base of the production column for measuring the characteristics of part of the flows drawn by the pump. Isolation means are arranged around the column so as to separate the "liner" into two parts and to limit the measurements made to the effluents coming from only one of these two parts.
  • the device may also include two measuring assemblies for separately measuring the characteristics of the flows coming from the two opposite parts of the tube. By lengthening or shortening the column, the logging device is moved so as to make measurements on the effluents flowing from the formation at different locations in the well.
  • the activation pump and its drive motor are arranged at the base of the column very close to the sets of measuring instruments. It has been verified in use that this arrangement was not suitable for a number of production wells.
  • the section of the activation pumps and the commonly used drive motors is indeed relatively large and in certain cases the previous activation and measurement devices could not be lowered in certain production wells whose section is smaller than the current sections.
  • the downhole motors are supplied by cables most often arranged in the annular space between the tube and the production column. In the deviated parts of the production wells, experience has shown that this mode of supply can present failures due to possible crushing of the supply cables.
  • the improved device according to the invention makes it possible, by avoiding the above-mentioned drawbacks, to carry out production logs in a non-eruptive well crossing an underground zone producing effluents, this well being equipped for the production of these effluents by means of a perforated tube in its part passing through said underground zone, the device of a production column connected to a surface installation, of means for closing the annular space between the tube and the production column, to isolate the one on the other the two parts of the tube on either side, pumping means to activate the production of the well by said column and means for measuring at least part of the effluents produced, arranged in the vicinity of the bottom end of the column.
  • the length of the column portion between the location of the pumping means and the lower end of the column can be important. As this column portion is generally in the most horizontal part of the well, this avoids, in all cases where the motor means driving the pumping means are electric motors, the setting lengths of power cable most likely to get caught or crushed between the tube and the column.
  • the pumping means comprise for example a pump driven by an electric motor connected to the surface installation by an electric cable passing outside of said column.
  • the measuring means comprise for example a first set of instruments arranged on said column, for measuring the characteristics of the effluents coming from the upstream part of the tube, the furthest from the pumping means.
  • the measuring means may further comprise a second set of instruments for measuring the characteristics of the effluents coming from the downstream part of the tube, the closest to the pumping means.
  • the device may also include means for homogenizing at least part of the effluents produced before their treatment by the measuring means.
  • the multi-conductor cable can be provided with an electrical connection means to the measuring means, pluggable in a liquid medium and adapted to be moved by a stream of fluid along the production column.
  • the well 1 shown in Figures 1 to 3 is drilled from a surface installation to an oil formation 2. In its lower part crossing the producing zone, it is deflected. It can be horizontal or very slightly inclined with respect to the horizontal for example.
  • the well is equipped for production.
  • a tube or "liner" 3 is installed for this purpose. This tube is provided with perforations 4 in its part which crosses the producing zone.
  • It is a non-eruptive well whose production must be activated by a pumping system 5 lowered into the well interposed on a part 6A of a production column 6 formed by juxtaposition of tubular elements.
  • the suction system 5 comprises an enclosure or casing 7 where a hydraulic pump 8 is arranged, the outlet 8A of which communicates with the part of the column 6A.
  • the pump 8 is driven by an electric motor 9 also arranged in the enclosure 7.
  • the upper part 6A of the column 6, with the pumping system 5 fixed to its base, has a lower extension 6B.
  • a sealing or sealing block 10 of a known type of the expandable type or with cups for example, is arranged around the extension 6B in the vicinity of its lower end.
  • it On order from the surface installation, if it is an expandable obturation block, it can be applied against the wall of the tube 3 so as to separate in a substantially sealed manner the portions of the well 11, 12 which are on both sides.
  • the zone 11 furthest from the orifice of the well is designated upstream and the zone 12 opposite on the other side with respect to the block 10 downstream.
  • Centering means (not shown) are arranged around the production column 6 to facilitate its advancement in the well.
  • the lower orifice 13 of the extension 6B opens on the side of the upstream well portion 11.
  • the effluents entering the column 6B through the openings 13 and 14 flow towards the inlet 8B of the pump 8.
  • the openings 14 can be made anywhere between the block 10 and the pumping system and in particular in the immediate vicinity thereof.
  • the terminal part 15 of the production column contains a measuring assembly 16 comprising different instruments for measuring the upstream flows.
  • a first instrument is for example a tracer-ejector making it possible to measure the flow speed of the effluents coming from upstream.
  • a second instrument is a density measuring device such as a gamma density meter.
  • a third instrument is an electrical capacitance meter making it possible, for example, to determine the water content of the effluents.
  • This measuring assembly 16 is connected to a multi-conductor cable 18 by means of an electrical connector 19.
  • a pluggable electrical connector is used in a humid environment associated with a load bar and which makes it possible to establish connections. delayed in time between the measuring assembly 16 and the cable 18 and facilitate the installation of the device as will be seen in describing its operation.
  • a connector of this type is described for example in French patent FR-A-2,544,013 or US-A-4,690,214.
  • a homogenization means such as 17 associated with motor means, power can be supplied by conductors of the multi-conductor cable 18.
  • the cable 18 runs all along the portion 6B of the production column 6 to its opposite end in the vicinity of the pumping system 5.
  • a side window connection 20 of the "side-entry-sub” type is preferably inserted between the casing 7 containing the pumping system 5 and the column portion 6B.
  • the multi-conductor cable 18 passes through the window 21 of the connector 20 and goes up towards the surface installation outside the upper part 6A of the column.
  • the electric motor 9 for driving the pump 8 is supplied by a cable 22 which also goes up towards the surface installation in the ring finger between the casing C (or casing) cemented in the well and the upper part 6A of the column.
  • the pump motor 9 is for example an asynchronous motor and the power cable 22 connects it to a frequency converter 23 adapted to deliver to the asynchronous motor 9 an electric current of adjustable frequency and thus to vary the flow rate of the pump 8 depending on the amount of effluent produced.
  • the multi-conductor cable 18 connects the measuring instruments of the assembly 16 to a control, acquisition and supply assembly 24 arranged on the surface.
  • the multi-conductor cable 18 comprises conductors for the electrical supply of the measuring instruments of the measurement assembly 16 and possibly of the motor driving the homogenization means as well as other conductors for the transmission to the assembly 24 of the signals provided by measuring instruments.
  • the pumping assembly 5 is lowered to a sufficient depth that the effluents produced can reach freely without activation. This depth varying as a function of the position of the measuring assembly 16 the location where the pumping assembly is often lowered into a portion of the well which is less deviated and more easily accessible.
  • the multi-conductor cable 18 is protected by the production column throughout the lower portion of the well. Like the cable 22 for powering the motor 9, the cable 18 is found in the annular around the production column only in the upper part of the well, where it is least exposed to coincidences and crushing.
  • the device according to the invention also comprises a second measuring assembly 25 for the effluents coming from the downstream zone 12.
  • a second measuring assembly 25 for the effluents coming from the downstream zone 12.
  • the portion of tube 15 beyond the block of obturation 10 and containing the first measuring assembly 16 of the upstream effluents is connected and communicates with a second column portion 26 provided with an internal partition 27 which delimits a compartment 28.
  • An opening 29 makes compartment 28 communicate with the part downstream 12 from the well.
  • the second set of measurement 25 which is connected to the multi-conductor cable 18 by the electrical connector 19.
  • the power supply of the measurement devices of the first measurement set 16 and the transfer of the measurement signals between the latter and the second measurement set 25 is provided by a multi-conductor cable 30 passing through the partition 27.
  • the compartment 28 communicates through an opening 31 with the part 6B of the production column.
  • the upstream flow diverted by the partition 27 and measured and the measured downstream flow leaving through the opening 31, go up the column portion 6B to the inlet 8B of the pump.
  • the production column 6 may include a bypass on which a third measuring assembly (not shown) is installed to treat all of the effluents reaching the surface.
  • This third measurement assembly 30 can be analogous to the preceding measurement assemblies 16, 25. It can also be a device of the test separator type which separates the phases before measuring them separately and which is placed on the surface outside the well.
