摘要:

明确水平井温度分布规律对于利用井温数据解释天然气产量至关重要。利用水平段多相参数测试实验装置,发现水平段温度分布特征与孔眼进气量、含水率以及相邻孔眼的温降密切相关,并分别建立了基于温差的流量及含水率预测关联式。实验结果表明,气体流入量越大,孔眼下方温度越低,而含水率增大会减弱气体通过孔眼时的温降,气体的节流温降效应在体积含水率达9%时消失。当多孔同时进气时,下游温降受上游温降影响显著,并随相邻孔眼间进气比增大而呈线性增强趋势,说明在纯产气阶段,利用温度数据计算射孔段产量时需要考虑射孔段间的温降干扰。但当下游孔眼流入气液两相时,随含水率的升高,上游温降对下游温降的影响逐渐降低。

Abstract:

Clarifying the temperature distribution pattern of horizontal wells is crucial to interpreting natural gas production using well temperature data. This study investigated the impact of gas-liquid flow rate and the number of perforations on temperature distribution within a horizontal pipeline, utilizing a multiphase flow experimental setup. The study revealed that temperature fluctuations in the horizontal section are closely influenced by the gas inflow through the perforations, gas-water content, and the temperature drop across adjacent perforations. Correlation equations for predicting the flow rate and water content based on the temperature differences were established. Experimental results indicate that an increase in gas flow reduces the temperature beneath the perforations and decreases the overall temperature profile of the pipe section. Higher water content significantly reduces the temperature drop as the gas passes through the perforations, with the effect disappearing when the volumetric water content approaches 9% under experimental conditions. In addition, when airflow passes through multiple perforations simultaneously, the variation of the downstream airflow temperature drop is influenced by the temperature drop of the upstream airflow. The downstream temperature drop increases as the gas inflow ratio between neighboring perforations increases. When the downstream perforation encounters the gas-liquid flow, the effect of the upstream airflow temperature drop disappears as the water content in the downstream flow increases. The results show that the temperature drop from the upstream airflow significantly impacts the downstream temperature drop during the early stage of production, which should not be ignored when utilizing the temperature data for production calculations. However, this influence diminishes considerably in the presence of high water content. This study not only clarifies the characteristics of the temperature profile during production in horizontal wells, but also deepens the understanding of temperature drop variations caused by gas-liquid interactions. Additionally, it contributes to more accurate utilization of temperature data for production analysis, offering significant value for both engineering applications and academic research.
