Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for triggering detonators over a long length line according to the preamble of the first claim.
  • Drilling for the exploration and exploration of oil and gas fields extends over lengths that, in particular horizontally, already extend far beyond 10,000 m.
  • the borehole is usually perforated at several predetermined locations in order to allow, for example, the oil to enter the borehole.
  • suitable explosive charges are positioned at the intended locations, which are detonated in a predetermined sequence using detonators.
  • Several igniters in series are also ignited via a common line. Such a
  • Ignition circuit is known for example from EP 0 588 685 B1.
  • the detonators are controlled individually and then triggered.
  • the ignition signal consists of an information component for addressing and unlocking the individual detonators and an energy component that triggers the ignition.
  • Known electronic detonators require an unlocking sequence which consists of polarity changes in the nominal voltage which is present at the output of the detonator release device. In addition to the number of changes, the time between changes in the unlocking sequence is evaluated. This code is only accepted by the electronic detonator if the number of polarity changes is correct within a defined time and the slope of the polarity changes is defined.
  • the voltage level can be so low and the signals of the transmitted data can be so distorted that the detonator does not recognize the signals and no ignition is triggered becomes.
  • the distortion of the signals is primarily caused by the lack of edge steepness between the polarity changes in the nominal voltage.
  • the cause of these faults lies in the capacitive and inductive behavior of the long line and the consumers upstream of the detonators, such as the feed drive of the drill head in the horizontal direction, its protective relay, the auxiliary tools and the positioning device. These consumers are supplied with energy via the same line through which the detonators are triggered. When the supply voltage is switched off and the signal and ignition voltage are switched on for data transmission or triggering of the detonators, the discharging capacities of the consumers are charged by this voltage. The result is a voltage drop and therefore a signal weakening.
  • the effects of the capacitive resistances on the signals of the detonator release device are reduced in that, before the detonator is triggered, a DC voltage is applied to the line to the detonators, with which the capacities of the consumers are charged to such a level that the subsequent generation the signals for triggering the detonators no longer have any effect on the capacities of the consumers.
  • the capacities of the consumers are discharged again after being charged, but the previous charging to a high level ensures that, at least until the last detonator is triggered, there is no charge due to charge losses Capacities. As a result, the nominal voltage required to generate the signals does not drop below their required level.
  • the applied DC voltage is higher than the nominal voltage for generating the signals.
  • the nominal voltage is 24 volts
  • a voltage of 28 volts DC can be provided to charge the capacitors.
  • a corresponding time can be provided in which the increased voltage is applied. In the example provided, an activation period of about 5 seconds would be advantageous.
  • the increased voltage is below a critical voltage that can cause an igniter to trip.
  • the detonators are generally designed so that they are resistant to a certain extent beyond the nominal voltage that is provided for generating the signals for triggering an detonator, without triggering. According to the invention, however, the intended tolerance range is not exhausted in order to avoid any risk, on the other hand, the level of the voltage is chosen so that the intended charging of the capacities of the consumers is possible within a very short time.
  • the capacitive resistances vary depending on the length of the line and the additional consumers placed in the borehole and connected to it, it is advantageous if the capacitive resistance is determined before the capacitors are charged and, depending on its size, the capacitance is used to charge the capacitors at least the required DC voltage is determined. This ensures that the critical value of the voltage for triggering an igniter is not exceeded.
  • the DC voltage to be switched on can thus be individually tailored to the respective application.
  • the line to the detonators with their additionally connected consumers is a resonant circuit with a low-pass filter effect due to the inductances and capacitances. The low-pass filter effect is influenced in particular by the capacitances.
  • the critical frequency at which the low-pass filter effect occurs can be determined by determining the capacitive resistance. A suitable signal frequency is then selected in order to effectively exclude the low-pass filter effect. According to the invention, a frequency which is reduced to such an extent is chosen that the voltage rises again to the final voltage in each period. Furthermore, this voltage must be present at its nominal level for a predeterminable time until the next polarity change, so that the characteristic signal formation is maintained and the polarity changes are also recognized by the signal receivers of the detonator.

Abstract

Lors du déclenchement d'amorces par l'intermédiaire de lignes de longueur importante, comme c'est fréquemment le cas dans des forages de prospection dans des champs pétrolifères ou de gaz naturel, le comportement capacitif et inductif de la longue ligne (3), ainsi que celui des consommateurs montés en amont des amorces (4a, 4b, 4c), induisent des distorsions de signaux. Selon l'invention, c'est la raison pour laquelle il est prévu avant de déclencher les amorces, de charger les capacités (8) présentes par application d'une tension continue sur la ligne, à un niveau tel qu'il ne soit pas nécessaire de charger les capacités en raison des déperditions de charge, jusqu'au déclenchement de la dernière amorce.
