Definitions
- the invention relates to a downhole pressure and vibration measuring device integrated in a pipe section as part of a production tubing, as defined in the introduction of the accompanying claim 1.
- Downhole instrumentation is used to acquire measuring data in production wells and is an important tool for the optimal control of the production.
- the reliability of the downhole meters is poor in high temperatures, typically 110 0 C or higher.
- a rule of thumb says that the error rate is doubled for every ten degrees 1 increase in temperature.
- Modern measuring systems are typically silicone, sapphire or quartz sensors with electronics.
- a large number of downhole electronic measuring systems have been installed during the last twenty years, and many studies have been carried out to evaluate the reliability of this type of equipment.
- Measuring instruments with capillary tubes are used primarily for pressure measuring with inert gas, like nitrogen and helium, and in combinations with optical -fibre temperature measurement. Faults may arise by particles blocking bubble tubes, for example through gas leakages, and when pressure chambers are undersized, so that oil will enter gas tubes.
- the invention of the application is substantially different from the two mentioned above, with respect to object, embodiment as well as function.
- the present application relates to a downhole pressure and vibration measuring device integrated in a pipe section as part of a production tubing, and the measuring device is characterized by the characteristics set forth in claims.
- the object of the invention is to provide a system which is robust in relation to temperature and vibration and has the following functionality:
- Figure 1 shows a strain gauge monitoring system which is mounted on a pipe section inserted as part of a production tubing 20 in an oil or gas well, sensing the surface strain from pressure inside the production tubing and surface strain from external pressure in the annulus between the production tubing and the casing in the well.
- Figure IA is a 3D drawing which, viewed from the outside, shows the measuring device installed.
- Figure IB shows a longitudinal section of the measuring device.
- Figure 1C is a 3D detail of the insides of a sensor housing.
- Figure ID shows a longitudinal section of a cable termination in detail.
- the main parts of the measuring device are a pipe section 1 with a conical part which is joined to a sensor housing 2 and a two-part clamp 3 on the upper end, which protects at least four, and preferably six, glass penetrators 4 connecting corresponding strain gauges 7 and 8 to cable connections inside cable tubes 9A extending up along the production tubing 20 in a multi -conductor cable connection 10 to electrical bushings in the tubing hanger 21 of the well.
- the sensor housing 2 forms a tight annular space 5 filled through a filling channel 6 with an inert gas, preferably nitrogen, in the annular space 5 between the external sensor housing 2 and the pipe section 1.
- the sensor housing 2 protects strain gauges 7, 8 evenly spaced radially on the inside of the sensor housing.
- the strain gauges 7, 8 are preferably fixed with glue that can stand at least 250 0 C on the inside wall of the sensor housing 2 and the outside wall of the production tubing section 1, respectively, so that both the internal pressure and the external pressure acting on the production tubing 20 are measured.
- a temperature measurement device may be integrated and signals be carried to the control equipment 11, 12 in a manner corresponding to that of the strain gauge measurements .
- the measuring device is connected to the control unit 11 for signal amplification via electrical conductors encased in cable tubes 9A, which are clamped to the production tubing 20 downhole and terminated in the tubing hanger 21 of the well equipment with an electrical multi -conductor cable connection 10 to an electronics unit in the control equipment 11, connected to a control and communication module in the control unit 12 on the outside of the wellhead equipment.
- the glass penetrators 4 are provided with an external threaded portion and are screwed in through threaded holes in the top of the sensor housing 2, so that external gaskets 4B seal against the material of the upper end of the sensor housing 2 when screwed all the way in.
- An external tube nut 9C is threaded onto each of the cable tubes 9A before short tube subs 9B with collars on their tubes are welded to the end of the respective tubes 9A by EB (electron beam) welds.
- the cable tubes 9A come on drums and are terminated on the glass penetrators 4 of the measuring device as part of the installation.
- Cable termination means that the conductors projecting at each cable tube end 9B are soldered to the pins 4C of the corresponding glass penetrators 4.
- the tube sub 9B is inserted into the upper end of the glass penetrator 4 until the collar of the tube sub 9B rests on the upper edge of the glass penetrator 4. Gaskets 4D internally at the top of the glass penetrator 4 seal against the tube end 9B.
- the tube nut 9C is screwed onto the external threaded portion at the top of the glass penetrator 4 until it presses the collar of the tube sub 9B against the abutment surface on the top of the glass penetrator 4, the cable tube 9A thereby being anchored to the glass penetrator 4.
- the pressure- measurement signals received from the strain-gauge-based sensors are processed, also to measure vibration in the production tubing 20.
- Figure 2 shows a schematic side view of a subsea production well, in which a production tubing 20 with a strain-gauge- based measuring device in a sensor housing 2 and a downhole safety valve 22 extends up to a horizontal wellhead 23.
