Description

Selective electromagnetic production tool
Invention field
Relate generally to of the present invention is used for improving one's methods and installing of back production subsurface deposit medium-high viscosity oil.On the one hand, the present invention relates to the underground shaping thing of resistance heated to reduce the method for described oil viscosity.On the other hand, the present invention relates to comprise the heating and the process units of flexible production pipe.On the other hand, the present invention relates to by inserting the method that the topping up well bore is finished producing well through the improved production pipe of buoyancy aid.
Prior art is discussed
Heavy oil is that viscosity is very high, often comprises for example natural formation oil of the impurity of sulphur.Conventional lightweight oil viscosity is about 0.5 centipoise (cP)-Yue 100cP, and the viscosity of heavy oil is 100cP-1,000, and more than the 000cP.The heavy-oil reservoir reserve accounts for 15% of world's residue oil sources total amount according to estimates.Singly in the U.S., the heavy oil resource is about 300.5 hundred million barrels according to estimates, and the heavy oil output accounts for the major part of domestic oily output.For example, singly in California, the heavy oil output accounts for this state more than 60% of production of oil.Find along with new conventional light oil storage becomes more difficult, improving one's methods of heavy oil extraction becomes more important.Regrettably heavy oil extraction is expensive usually, and conventional method is for only the have an appointment rate of extraction of 10-30% of the heavy oil of existing storage.Therefore, develop have more efficient, effectively the heavy oil extraction approach presses for.
A kind of mode that can back production heavy oil is to pass through electromagnetic stimulation.This comprises by reduce the viscosity of heavy oil with electrical heating.There are some kinds of diverse ways about electromagnetic stimulation, comprise for example eddy-current heating, heating using microwave and resistance heated.Eddy-current heating utilizes the heating element under the hole, directly is heat with current transitions.Heating using microwave uses very high frequency can heat oil reservoirs.Resistance heated is used the electrode that is grounding to adjacent well bore or is grounding to the surface.Salt solution by symbiosis in the oil reservoirs in this method comes from the electrode conductive electric current.Resistance heated is actual to be heating heavy oil underground shaping thing on every side, thereby described oil is heated and reduce its viscosity.
Electromagnetic stimulation is the ideal style that reduces furol viscosity in theory, because electricity can extensively obtain, and the ground installation that it needs is minimum.But the result does not but reach theory state.There have been many different designs for electromagnetic stimulation of heavy oil reserves, but do not had a kind of complete extensive approval that is enough to obtain.This mainly is because prior art is not developed deployment system under a kind of economic excellent hole that is used for electromagnetic stimulation.
In the electromagnetic stimulation method, resistance heated is the reliable approach of the reduction furol viscosity of tool prospect seemingly.Its a kind of reason is because electric current only flows through the conductive brine of oil well, so resistance heated is without any need for the injection of type.But,, still need but still do not have the resistive heating system of accepting extensively as in the electromagnetic stimulation of other type.Thereby, still need effectively to increase the electromagnetic heating system of heavy oil storing output.
The oil well and/or the natural gas well flatly drill through along some directions from a well head because of a variety of causes often.But a this problem finishing horizontal well is to be difficult to and will to produce the end that pipe extends well.Therefore, also need a kind of more effective method of finishing horizontal well.
