Definitions
- the downhole sensors of the present invention enable the detection of Taylor flow.
- the above referenced control mechanisms-surface computer, controllable valves, gas input, surfactant injection, etc. - provide the ability to attain and maintain Taylor flow.
- the downhole controllable valves may be operated independently to attain localized Taylor flow.
- all of the gas-lift valves in the well are of the controllable type in accordance with the present invention and may be independently controlled. It is desirable to lift the oil column from a point in the borehole as close as possible to the production packer. That is, the lowest gas-lift valve is the primary valve in production.
- the upper gas-lift valves are used for set off of the well during production initiation.
- n ⁇ n band is limited by a lower frequency f ⁇ j (n ) and an upper frequency f u (n).
- the bands are said to be proportional if the ratio f u (n)/ jJ (n) is the same for each band.
- An octave is a band for which
- an electronics module 82 is disposed in housing 80.
- a check valve 94 prevents backflow from the tubing through outlet port 74.
- a stepper motor 84 rotates a pinion 202, which through worm gear 204, raises and lowers cage 206.
- Cage 206 engages seat 208, which regulates flow into orifice 210.
- a shoulder 212 is configured to complementarily engage a mating collar on cage 206 when the valve is closed.
- This "cage" valve configuration is believed to be a preferable design from a ,fluid mechanics view to the alternative embodiment needle valve configuration of FIG. 10B. That is, fluid flow from inlet port 72, past the cage/seat juncture
- a salinity sensor 116, pressure sensor 112, and differential pressure sensor 118 are electrically connected to the electronics module 106.
- the salinity sensor 116 is operatively disposed through the pocket 100 to sense the salinity of the fluid in the annulus between the casing 24 and tubing 26.
- the differential pressure sensor 118 provides a measurement of the pressure on each side of the needle valve 108.
- the alternative configurations illustrated by FIG. 6 and FIG. 8 can include or exclude any number of the sensors 112, 114, 116 or 118.
- Alternative sensors can be employed such as gauge, absolute or a differential pressure, lift gas flow rate, tubing acoustic waves, gas-lift valve position, or any analog signal.
- the electronics module 106 and sensors 112, 114, 116 can be packaged and deployed independently of the controllable valve 52. In the preferred embodiment at least an acoustic sensor is used.
- the temperature transducers are rated for -50 to 300 °F and are conditioned by input circuitry 180 to +5 to 255 °F.
- the digital spread spectrum modem 130 consists of an IC/SS power line carrier chip set (brand EG ICS1001, ICS1002 and ICS1003 from National Semiconductor) and is capable of 300-3200 baud data rates at carrier frequencies ranging from 14 kHz to 76 kHz (U.S. Patent No. 5,488,593 describes the chips set in more detail and is incorporated herein by reference) .
- the PIC 170 controls the operation of the stepper motor 84 through a stepper motor controller 200 (e.g. Motorola SA1042 stepper motor driver circuit) .
- the controller 200 needs only directional information and simple clock pulses from PIC 170 to drive the stepper motor 84.
- the controllable gas-lift well 10 of the present i , invention has a number of data monitoring pods and controllable gas-lift valves 52 on the tubing string 26, the number and type of each pod and controllable valves 52 depends on the requirements of the individual well 10.
- at least an acoustic sensor is used to determine the flow regime using the trained Artificial Neural Network of FIG. 13.
- Each of the individual data monitoring pods and controllable valves 52 are individually addressable via the wireless spread spectrum communication through the tubing and casing. That is, a master spread spectrum modem at the surface and an associated controller communicates to a number of slave modems .
