Description

Specification

Oil extraction system and oil extraction monitoring system

Technical field

The present invention relates to an oil collection system for forcibly recovering oil and an oil collection monitoring system for monitoring the oil collection system.

Background art

[0002] When oil is extracted from underground oilfield power,

Production will be performed by artificial oiling (gas' lift oiling, pump oiling, etc.) without EOR, which will be described later (primary collection).

[0003] After that, after the production due to the primary recovery declines, water and natural gas are injected into the oil reservoir (water flooding, gas injection) to provide artificial oil drainage energy and reduce the yield. Increase (secondary collection).

[0004] Furthermore, after the second collection, an artificial oil enhanced recovery method has been used to extract the oil remaining in the underground crude oil-containing layer. The enhanced recovery method is a collection method for the purpose of replacement efficiency, which is higher than that obtained by the usual water flooding method and the gas injection method. For enhanced recovery, microemulsions are made by adding a surfactant to water and oils such as petroleum and heavy oil, and this is injected into an underground crude oil-containing layer to collect crude oil. Polyacrylamide, polyalkyl Polymer attack methods are used to increase the viscosity of water and improve the oil collection rate by adding water-soluble polymer substances such as attalylate, polyalkylmetatalylate, polyatarylnitrile, and xanthan gum to the injected water. (For example, see Patent Document 1)). A microbial attack using microorganisms is also used. Microbial attack is a method that expects the same function as the EOR technology in the underground crude oil containing layer using microorganisms that produce metabolites such as polymers, surfactants, carbon dioxide, methane gas, and acids ( For example, see Patent Document 2).

In this way, the conventional oil collection method makes full use of the extraction method to efficiently collect oil. [0005] By the way, the pump for extracting oil has a sucker rod as shown in FIG. 'Pong 300 force S is used. The soccer 'rod' pump 300 is connected to a plunger (not shown) at the tip of the rod 301 and lowered into the tubing. The rod is moved up and down by the ground equipment and the movement is transmitted to the plunger to collect oil. Because of its simplicity, it is most widely used in onshore oil fields! (See, for example, Patent Document 3).

A sucker rod pump may be pumped off. As a control method, a technique for detecting and controlling the pump off occurrence under a predetermined condition is known (for example, see Patent Document 4).

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Example 1

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an oil collection system of the present invention. In the following, oil extraction can be applied to any of the flooding methods as long as it is based on secondary and tertiary harvesting.

In the figure, 1 is an underground crude oil containing layer (oil reservoir). 2 is a production well which is a well for collecting oil. 3 is an injection well for injecting water. 10 is a sucker that pumps crude oil. 11 is a sucker rod. Reference numeral 12 denotes a first inverter that drives the motor 11. The first inverter 12 can detect a pump-off signal by a known technique.

20 is a press-fitting pump for injecting water. Reference numeral 21 denotes a motor which is a power source of the press-fitting pump 20. Reference numeral 22 denotes a second inverter that drives the motor 21. Reference numeral 23 denotes a signal transmission unit for transmitting a pump-off signal to the first inverter 12 and the second inverter 22, and is composed of a transmitter, a signal line, and a receiver (not shown).

[0013] The operation of the oil collection system of the present invention under the above configuration will be described below.

If you continue to pump up crude oil with the soccer rod 'pump ₁₀ , the oil reservoir pressure will gradually drop.

The oil collection efficiency gradually decreases. When the oil reservoir pressure decreases, the pump off is likely to occur.

Here, when the pump-off signal is detected in the first inverter 12, this signal is transmitted to the second inverter 22 via the signal transmission unit 23. In other words, the first inverter is a pump-off signal detector. When this pump-off signal is transmitted, the second inverter 22 starts operation and press-fits water (fluid).

As a result, the oil reservoir pressure is restored, so that stable oil collection at the production well becomes possible.

[0014] In this embodiment, the force S detected by the first inverter to detect pump-off, V not shown, may be detected by the host controller, or may be detected by a sensor provided on the soccer 'rod' pump. It may be detected directly. Further, the pump-off signal of the first inverter only needs to be able to operate the second inverter based on the force S directly transmitted to the second inverter 22 and the pump-off signal. In other words, the pump off may be detected by some means, and water may be injected based on this.

Furthermore, even if the second inverter is not started immediately after the pump-off is detected, the operation is started when the number of detections per unit time that can be started after detecting the predetermined number of times exceeds the predetermined value. You may do it.

[0015] As described above, in the secondary and tertiary collection, the pump that press-fits water, gas, surfactant (fluid) or micro-organisms and the soccer rod that pumps oil are pumped off the inverter. Since cooperative operation can be performed using the detection signal, efficient oil collection is possible.

Example 2

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram showing an oil collection monitoring system of the second embodiment. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

In the figure, 51 is a communication interface, which is a communication interface card for the first inverter 12 to transmit and receive data to and from a remote monitoring unit to be described later. 52 is a remote monitoring unit that receives a command from the central monitoring system and operates the inverter according to the command content. 53 is a wireless communication unit for transmitting and receiving wireless signals.

A central monitoring system 60 includes a wireless communication unit 61, a communication interface 62, and a computer 63.

When a predetermined command is transmitted from the computer 63 under the above configuration, the command data is transmitted to the remote monitoring unit 52 via the wireless communication units 61 and 53.

The remote monitoring unit 52 operates the inverter according to the command and returns the result data to the computer 63.

For example, when a rotational speed reading command is transmitted from the computer 63, the remote monitoring unit reads information on the rotational speed managed by the inverter and returns it to the computer 63.

If the command is sent periodically, the resulting data can be obtained periodically, allowing data monitoring.

As described above, the operating status of the inverter is periodically checked by the computer 63, and the oil volume / trends of the entire oil field, the oil volume / trends of each soccer 'rod' pump, operating status, maintainability, Ability to monitor and manage availability, etc.

[0018] In this embodiment, the communication interface is provided inside the first inverter, but may be provided outside.

[0019] As described above, since monitoring is performed by wireless communication, it is possible to use the power S for producing and maintaining crude oil at a remote location.
