- FIG. 1 horizontal well with a complex device
- FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section of the downhole acoustic transducer
- FIG. 3 transducer with plasma discharger
- FIG. 4 downhole electrohydraulic device.
- the method for stimulation involves the delivery of a complex impact device to the end of a horizontal section of a well.
- the complex device comprises an acoustic transducer of radial type, a geophysical unit and an electrohydraulic transducer with a plasma discharger, which are interconnected by standard geophysical adapters.
- the downhole acoustic transducer of radial type is designed so that it is possible to make it up to 50 meters long.
- FIG. 2 The design of the downhole acoustic device is explained by an illustration ( FIG. 2 ), which displays the longitudinal section of the device.
- the downhole acoustic transducer comprises an upper head providing connection to the contact device for the cable lug, a lower head, connected to each other in a single structure metal sealed housings ( 30 ), in which pairs of piezoelectric transducers ( 31 ) are placed with an offset relative to each other by an angle of 90°.
- Piezoelectric transducers ( 31 ) are composed of a longitudinally polarized, electrically connected piezoelectric washers (5 PCs. for each piezoelectric transducer). Piezoelectric transducers ( 31 ) are fastened together with clamping screws ( 32 ) (4 PCs.). Rubber-metal gaskets ( 33 ) are installed between the piezoelectric transducers. To ensure the fixation of piezoelectric transducers ( 31 ), sleeves ( 35 ) are installed in the housing ( 30 ), to which tightening screws ( 32 ) are attached.
- This device provides independent operation of each piezoelectric transducer ( 31 ) located in housing ( 30 ). This is possible due to the mutual location of piezoelectric transducers ( 31 ), as well as to the presence of rubber-metal gaskets ( 33 ). This design allows to increase the selectivity of the acoustic effect on the well, bottom-hole zone and reservoir.
- Upper and lower housings ( 30 ) are connected by metal cables ( 37 ) (4 PCs.) and detail ( 36 ) formed by rubber-plastic filling of the junction of two housings ( 30 ) with a small gap.
- This design provides flexibility that allows to pass the curved well sections easily.
- the connection of housings ( 30 ) by means of metal cables and detail ( 36 ) provides an increase in the transverse compliance of housings ( 30 ), which increases the efficiency of radiation in the radial direction.
- Such a device also has a longer service durability, since the presence of a flexible connection of housings ( 30 ) protects from its destruction under the influence of high well pressure and makes the device less fragile.
- Housing ( 30 ) is secured and sealed by compression and expansion in the radial direction of rubber gasket ( 34 ) with compression nuts ( 38 ) which are attached to bushings ( 35 ) (screwed or welded). Screw-nuts ( 38 ) have protruding parts that provide attachment of metal wires ( 37 ) to them. One of them is done in loop (closed connection), which is also thrown over the projecting parts of screw-nuts ( 38 ) located in two adjacent housings.
- Piezoceramic washers are fastened immediately adjacent to each other by means of metal washers, screws ( 41 ) and screw-nuts ( 42 ). Prestressing of piezoceramic washers is carried out by means of screw ( 41 ) and screw-nut ( 42 ). By means of a preset voltage, it is possible to adjust a resonance frequency and an impedance value of each piezoelectric transducer ( 31 ) to the required values at the time of assembly. Additional sealing and fastening of housings ( 30 ) are provided by rubber-plastic filling ( 36 ) at the junction of two adjacent housings ( 30 ). The power supply to the piezoelectric transducers is provided by wires ( 39 ), which pass through the channel for electrical wires.
- Piezoelectric transducers ( 31 ) are connected to wires ( 39 ) in parallel. Wires ( 39 ) between two neighboring housings ( 30 ) are connected using standard geophysical connecting assemblies (“dimes”) ( 40 ) and poured rubber-plastic. To prevent rubber-plastic from getting into housing ( 30 ) in the cylindrical hole of bushing ( 35 ) there is plug ( 43 ).
- the outer and inner surface of housing ( 30 ) may have trough-like deepenings, made by milling along the length of the housing ( 30 ) (not shown in the figure). The presence of such depressions provides a certain direction of acoustic radiation, and also leads to transverse compliance of housing ( 30 ). This design allows to obtain radiation in the radial direction.
- the electronics unit is hermetically connected to housing ( 30 ) (not shown in the figure), designed to generate a signal at an operating frequency of piezoelectric transducers ( 31 ) and to adjust the settings of piezoelectric transducers ( 31 ) automatically (frequency, voltage, phase shift) directly during operation, on the basis of the results processed in the electronics unit based upon the signals received from 5 built-in sensors for operation monitoring of piezoelectric transducers ( 31 ).
- the transducer operates in two modes: continuous and pulse. In continuous mode, the transducer operates at the frequencies close to 20000 Hz. These frequencies provide the effects of the ultrasound:
- the transducer In pulse mode, the transducer operates at frequencies of about 100 Hz. In this mode, the wavelength is several tens of meters, depending on the propagation medium (for example, in water it is 15 meters). Its peculiarity is a slight attenuation at long distances (more than 1000 meters).
- the pulse When the pulse operates high starting currents (up to 10 A) and there are emissions of powerful energy (about 20 kJ per hour), which allows an acoustic wave to spread over a distance of 1000 meters slightly losing its efficiency. This allows to influence the entire area of well supply and involve stagnant zones.
- the design of the ultrasonic transducer is made in such a way that it allows additional electrical conductors to pass through. That makes it possible to connect a unit of geophysical instruments to it (also made with a through passage).
- the geophysical unit comprises a gamma-ray logging device and a magnetic coupler locator, temperature and pressure sensors, a moisture meter and a flow meter.
- the gamma-ray logging device and the magnetic coupler locator allows to bind the device to the depth of a well and the position of the device in a horizontal string for accurate processing.
- an electrohydraulic transducer with a plasma discharger ( FIG. 3 ).
- the transducer has the design features distinguishing it from the applied analogs.
- the electrohydraulic complex with a plasma discharger comprises two main parts: a ground-based power supply and control unit and a downhole electrohydraulic transducer.
- MFCB multi-functional control board
- MFCB comprises: a power supply and control for acoustic transducer, a logging recorder, a power supply and control for electrohydraulic transducer.
- the downhole electrohydraulic transducer has a modular design ( FIG. 4 ), consisting of a stabilization unit, a capacitor unit and a plasma discharger. Its length does not exceed 3 meters and its diameter does not exceed 44 mm, which ensures free passage of the device through all existing pump-and-compressor tubings.
- the stabilization unit comprises a step-up-decoupling transformer, which also provides power supply to a plasma ignition unit in the discharge interval.
- the capacitor unit the following capacitors are used: one lead is a coaxial pin and the other lead is a cylindrical housing, thus, capacitors are connected into a shunt bank by pins mounting. Such structure takes up minimal space and allows using small-sized components.
- the modular design allows to increase the capacity of the downhole electrohydraulic device through the use of additional capacitor units in the proper range, e.g. from 0.5 to 3 kJ. Modular design is ensured using rubber-plastic connection strengthened with wires.
- Discharger housing ( 2 ) is screwed onto coupling sleeve ( 1 ) and fixed with a screw.
- bearing sleeve ( 9 ) made of glass-fiber plastic, to which all the other elements are attached.
- cylinder ( 7 ) screwed in in which there is piston ( 8 ) with a rod and a spring.
- piston ( 8 ) In piston ( 8 ) there are small holes ( 18 ) for pressure equalizing of the head-end volume and the pressure in the oil well.
- wire feeding mechanism ( 6 ) On the upper part of piston ( 8 ) there is wire feeding mechanism ( 6 ), which is at the same time a stop to hold the piston in a predetermined position.
- the feeding mechanism is a lever with a support platform ( 14 ) and a wing with a spring ( 13 ).
- rods ( 5 ) are attached to cylinder ( 7 ), that are the basis for attachment point ( 4 ) of coil ( 3 ).
- the rods also ensure that the cylinder does not get knocked out of sleeve ( 9 ) by piston ( 8 ), due to being mounted on coupling sleeve ( 1 ).
- Bearing sleeve ( 9 ) has two holes for mounting electrodes ( 17 , 19 ).
- the electrodes have insulation ( 23 ) eliminating the possibility of backstreaming. Open areas are only those providing for plasma discharge.
- Power cable is connected to positive electrode ( 20 ) with terminal ( 22 ) and screw bolt ( 21 ).
- Power cable is also connected to negative electrode ( 19 ), but there is an axial hole in the electrode made for wire ( 12 ). Sealing insert ( 15 ) is used to seal the hole.
- Guide cone ( 11 ) is attached to the bottom of the bearing sleeve with racks ( 10 ). It ensures free movement of the downhole electrohydraulic device in the pump-and-compressor tubing, and, at the same time, along with the racks, it protects the electrodes from mechanical impact.
- the electrohydraulic complex operates as follows:
- Ground-based power supply unit is connected to 220 V AC network, converts it to direct current and passes it through the geophysical cable to the stabilization unit and the capacitor unit. Electrical energy is accumulated in the capacitors and once they are full plasma discharge occurs through electrodes ( 17 , 19 ), connected by wire ( 12 ), which is preset in a predetermined position.
- Plasma discharge results in the electrohydraulic shock affecting the oil reservoir and the bottom-hole zone, which contributes to the stimulation of enhanced oil recovery and oil production intensification.
- the shock wave also impacts piston ( 8 ), which goes up, compresses the spring and moves wire feeding mechanism ( 6 ).
- the surfaces of support platform ( 14 ) and wing ( 13 ) easily slide upwards on wire ( 12 ).
- the feeding mechanism is lowered and due to the special notches on the support platform, the wing and the wing springs, provides its pressing, pulls the wire down through the negative electrode until it contacts the positive electrode. Then the whole cycle is repeated.
- the transducer has the modular design which allows increasing the capacity of the downhole electrohydraulic device using different number of modules, in the proper range from 0.5 to 3 kJ (depending on the geological characteristics of the well and its design).
- the length of the transducer is 2 times less than analogues, and the diameter is reduced down to 52 millimeters.
- the complex device is delivered to the horizontal section of a well by means of a coil-tubing, which is wound on a special drum and is driven by a special unit for its unwinding and a special conveyer for its delivery to the well.
- the hoist with a coil-tubing are commercially available in many factories.
- MFCB multi-functional control board
- a coil-tubing On the surface the complex device is connected to a multi-functional control board (MFCB) through a coil-tubing.
- MFCB consists of units: power supply and control of an acoustic transducer, logging recorder, power supply and control of an electrohydraulic transducer. All of them are connected through a coil-tubing (inside which the electric conductors pass) with devices delivered to the horizontal well section and perform the functions of power and control.
- the method is implemented as follows: on a coil-tubing, with the help of a special hoist, a complex device consisting of an electrohydraulic transducer with a plasma discharger, a geophysical unit and an acoustic transducer are lowered into the horizontal wellbore.
- the complex device is pushed to the end of the horizontal section by means of the geophysical unit, the devices are bound, and the parameters of the well are measured prior to processing.
- the near and distant productive well zones are treated in continuous (operated for an hour at a constant frequency of 20 kHz) and pulse (operated 10 pulses per second at a frequency of 100 Hz for an hour) modes, which leads to the restoration of the permeability of the near productive well zone and to the movement of the reservoir fluid in the distant and stagnant zones.
- the electrohydraulic transducer is activated and the plasma treatment of the cleaned area (up to 50 meters) is carried out.
- a shock wave of high-pressure energy up to 3 kJ (the amount of energy depends on the number of capacitors in the modules and is calculated mathematically) is evenly distributed in the radial direction, creating cracks in the near productive well zone and pushing oil out of stagnant zones.
- the geophysical unit is connected, and the current parameters are measured, allowing, if necessary, to adjust the settings of the equipment. Then the processes are repeated until the horizontal section of a well is completely passed.
