投捞一体式柱塞气举系统的研发

清除井筒积液是维持气井正常生产的重要措施。目前柱塞气举井的生产更多依赖人工控制，井下监测还在采用传统的电缆测井工艺，生产效率不高。为此，提出一种分体式柱塞工具设计方案及利用柱塞进行仪器投捞的测井工艺方法。该技术可根据现场需求，利用柱塞的往复运动将测量仪器安全的放置于井底，在测量任务完成后将存储数据的仪器携带至地面，在井口通过近场无线通信的方式实现与地面采集设备之间的数据自动交换。新型柱塞工具的主要组成部件包括柱塞本体、投送总成、打捞总成和仪器工作筒总成。地面配套设备的主要部件包括井口通信天线和读写器。基于投捞一体式柱塞工具的排液采气工艺可完成井筒生产参数的在线测量任务，包括常规温度压力测量、井筒流体采样、压力恢复测试等。目前，该系统已完成总体方案设计和工程设计，正在开展样机试制和地面试验。该工具将为提高低压低产气井的单井产量和实现稳产提供一种兼具排液采气和动态监测功能的技术手段，对气田生产逐步实现自动化管理具有重要意义。

Plunger lift and monitoring system for gas wells based on deployment-retrievement integration

As a necessary step, removing liquid in the wellbore plays an important role during the production of gas wells. Plunger lift is a widely-used intermittent deliquification process for gas wells. However, the manual control way and wire logging are still utilized as a downhole monitoring way for plunger lift, which is not efficient in terms of interrupting the production. This paper presents an improved solution that logging instruments canister are deployed and retrieved by means of a new assembly. With the reciprocating plunger, logging instruments canister can be carried and deployed to the bottom of a gas well to carry out logging and sampling tasks on the production demand of a field. After the deployment and logging tasks are performed, logging instruments canister is carried back to the surface by the plunger and then data is transferred to the wellhead device with near field wireless communication technology. This newly developed plunger lift system comprises plunger body, deployment sub-assembly, retrievement sub-assembly and logging instruments canister. The surface device comprises RF antenna, reader and writer. Based upon the method of deployment-retrievement integration, the new deliquification process is introduced and on-line monitoring of production dynamics can be performed including P/T measurement, downhole fluid sampling, pressure build-up, etc. without interrupting production. The general solution and engineering design parameters have been confirmed by research teams, while system prototype manufacture and workbench tests are being performed. The cost-effective way combining deliquification with dynamic monitoring is developed and contributes to increasing production and the stable productivity of gas wells. It is very significant for low-pressure and low-production gas fields to achieve automation production and management.
