Definitions
- the object of the invention is a device for measuring and controlling on-line viscosity at high pressure.
- the appropriate method is selected as a function of the required investment (capex) and operational costs (opex) which are themselves related to the type of oil, the type of reservoir and to the viscosity of the oil.
- One of the most simple and effective methods comprises injecting a viscous aqueous solution.
- the solution is made viscous by dissolution of water soluble polymers, and particularly polyacrylamides, xanthan gums, and more anecdotally, guar gums or cellulose ethers.
- Polyacrylamides consitute the preferred additives since they have very high resistance to biodegradation while xanthan gums require the use of strong doses of toxic bactericides, and particularly formaldehyde.
- the enhanced oil recovery method by polymer injection mainly comprises:
- the particular objective is to maintain a constant viscosity during the injection of the water soluble polymer solution, so that the reservoir can be swept efficiently. It is now known how to measure on-line and continuously the viscosity of the mother solution with some accuracy, particularly with Brookfield viscometres. This measurement is possible even if the solution is highly viscous and has a degree of heterogeneity, due particularly, on the one hand, to the presence of measurement-distorting gas bubbles and, on the other hand, due to the variation of the viscosity in the same conditions of concentration as a function of the salinity.
- Brookfield rotary viscometres which can be put on-line but in respect of which, above some pressures, mechanical deformation phenomena distort the measurement. They are used up to 50 bars, and exceptionally 70 bars of pressure; - vibration viscometres that rise to slightly higher pressures but in respect of which the shear of the non-Newtonian solution gives random results that cannot be correlated with the Brookfield viscosities measured in the laboratory;
- the Applicant has developed a device or set of equipment that can be used to measure the viscosity of an injection solution continuously and downstream of the injection pump, as long as the following two conditions are met:
- the device giving a viscosity that can be extrapolated as Yield Viscosity, in other words with low shear and allowing measurements at extremely high pressures, in other words up to 250 bars, the device comprising materials that resist corrosion at the injection temperatures (40 to 120 °C).
- the invention is a device that can be used in an enhanced oil recovery method by injection of a solution of water soluble polymer or brine having a viscosity below 1000 cps, including: - a mixer, preferably a static one, capable of homogenizing the solution on-line;
- - a device capable of measuring the viscosity of the homogenized solution, continuously, downstream of the solution injection pump at a pressure below or equal to 250 bars, preferably between 50 and 250 bars, and at a temperature below or equal to 120 °C, and preferably between 40° and 120°C, by measuring a pressure drop in a calibrated tube, at a constant rate of flow.
- the static mixer can be used in particular to homogenize the polymer solution, at the injection pressure, before measuring its viscosity.
- Homogenizing the solution by mixing requires a specific designed mixer that mixes the solution and limits mechanical degradation of the polymer, which is very shear-sensitive.
- the mixer is preferably placed downstream of the injection pump, but obviously upstream of the device capable of measuring the viscosity of the solution injected.
- a dynamic mixer may for example be used that comprises a rotor with low shear so that the mother solution is able to be incorporated into the brine.
- the rotor must not exceed a speed of 6 metres per second at the very most, which can be obtained with a low speed and high flow rate centrifugal pump.
- the residence time is short, which induces the use of a plurality of pumps in series or a multi-cellular pump.
- the cost at high flow rate or high pressure is not economically viable.
- the mixer is a static mixer of the same type as those marketed by the companies Sulzer Chemtech 25 Ltd - Sulzer - Allee 48 - CH 8404 Winterthur - Switzerland for Europe and Kenics, Chemineer Inc, 125 Flagship Drive, North Andover, MA 01845 USA.
- the static mixer is preferably of the same type as those specifically described in the document EP 1437173, and marketed by SULZER under the names SMX and SMV.
- the use of a static mixer in an enhanced oil recovery process is described in particular in the document FR 2 922 256.
- the static mixer includes at least one unitary mixing component with a lattice work structure.
- Each mixing component includes an external cylindrical body enclosing the mixing components themselves, which come in the form of a specific lattice work structure.
- the diameter of the mixing components is variable, and can be adjusted as a function of the pressure drop they generate.
- the static mixer preferentially generates a pressure drop of between 1 and 5 bars, and preferably between 2 and 3 bars.
- the static mixer includes preferably between 10 and 50 mixing components, and more preferably between 20 and 30 mixing components, the diameter thereof being preferably about 10 mm.
- the rate at which the water soluble polymer injection solution flows in the static mixer is between 1 and 5 m/s, and preferably 3 m/s.
- the device capable of measuring the viscosity combines:
- a duplex filter with a 10-micron mesh for example, so that suspended matter that may block the pump or the oval wheel flow meter can be eliminated
- a main line pulse absorber optionally, a main line pulse absorber.
- the device capable of measuring the viscosity is placed in a bypass of the main pipe in which the injection solution flows.
- the sample is directly taken in the main pipe under high pressure and reinjected into said pipe, also under high pressure.
- the pump is preferably a volumetric pump and in this case it is associated with a precision flow meter and with a speed variator. But the pump may also be centrifugal in the case of low pressures (below 100 bars) and in this case it is associated with a flow meter and a regulation valve.
- the pump is preferably placed upstream of the tube and, in practice, it has a flow rate of 20 1/hr for example.
- the pump, the tube, the flow meter, the differential pressure measurement device, the speed variator, the regulation valve and any pulse absorber are capable of resisting pressures of 250 bars. They are manufactured preferably from a material selected from the group that includes:
- austeno-ferritic steels and preferably austeno-ferritic steels containing between
- the calibrated tube comes at least partly in the form of a coil.
- the calibrated tube measures 20 metres in length for an internal diameter of 10 mm, the wall having a thickness of 4 mm. Its dimensions may be modified by those skilled in the art on condition they allow for a sufficient pressure drop that can be measured by the differential pressure measurement device.
- the device capable of measuring the viscosity may be used to measure a pressure drop while limiting the shear of the polymer.
- the inventive device can measure viscosities between 1 and 1000 cps, preferably 5 to 100 cps.
- the differential pressure measurement device can be used to measure the pressure drop in the calibrated tube below 2 bars when the static (injection) pressure is below or equal to 250 bars.
- the pressure drop generated by the calibrated tube is between 0.01 and 2 bars.
- those skilled in the art would know how to adjust the dimensions of the calibrated tube as a function of the pressure drop.
- the pressure drop measured under high pressure in the calibrated tube can be extrapolated to the corresponding viscosity of the water soluble polymer solution, measured at atmospheric pressure in a Brookfield device in the same conditions of concentration and salinity.
- the viscosity of the solution can be extrapolated as Yield Viscosity, in other words with low shear.
- the shear rate in the calibrated tube is preferably between 10 s “1 and 500 s “1 , and more preferably between 50 s "1 and 200 s “1 .
- the shear rates in the calibrated tube are therefore considered as low and this is made possible thanks to a low speed flow of fluid in the calibrated tube, under high pressure.
- the pulse absorber is preferably downstream of the pump of the device. Upstream of the pump is the duplex filter. They are placed preferably in the bypass of the main pipe. The device can be isolated from the main pipe by two valves.
- This invention also relates to a method for measuring, continuously, the viscosity of the injection solution of an aqueous solution of water soluble polymer under high pressure, of between 50 and 250 bars in an enhanced oil recovery method, downstream of the injection pump. It is used in particular to measure the pressure drop corresponding to the pressure drop in the calibrated tube. This pressure drop is then correlated with the corresponding viscosity of the solution measured at atmospheric pressure, using a Brookfield device in the same conditions of salinity and concentration. This method employs the device as described above.
- Figure 1 shows a device in accordance with this invention including in particular a bypass, installed on a pipe for the injection of a solution containing a water soluble polymer into an enhanced oil recovery facility.
- Figure 2 shows the pressure drop measured in respect of a solution of water soluble polymer as a function of its viscosity.
- the inventive device is specially constructed so that it can be used at high well pressures, with a low speed measurement that can be extrapolated as Brookfield viscosity (Yield Viscosity), in materials that are corrosion-resistant in injection conditions.
- Brookfield Viscosity Yield Viscosity
- a positive displacement pump (5) (which may also be a centrifugal pump) with a flow rate of 20 litres per hour, manufactured in Super Duplex or Hastelloy;
- a speed variator (8) for adjusting the speed to the required rate of flow
- a high-precision differential pressure measurement device (9) in the range 0 - 10 bars and resistant to both corrosion and line pressures
- the solution is sampled at the centre of the injection tube so that it can be re-injected into the same line. It is in fact a continuous device with no discharge into the atmosphere.
- This device has been tested comparatively to Brookfield measurements on solutions of polymers of different viscosities with the results in the curve in figure 2. To be more specific it shows the pressure drop observed as a function of the UL viscosity of a solution of an aciylamide/acrylic acid copolymer (70/30 in mole) sheared at 60 s "1 , in a brine containing 5000 ppm of NaCl, at 20°C. The UL viscosity is measured using a Brookfield device (LV module 6 rpm)
- the inventive device may therefore be used to measure viscosities in the range between 1 and 1000 cps, and preferentially between 5 and 100 cps.
