Background
Drilling fluid is a generic term for various circulating fluids that meet the needs of drilling operations during the drilling process in its various functions. Drilling fluid is the blood of a well, also known as a drilling fluid.
Drilling fluid is important to the drilling process, the drilling fluid brings impurities in the drilling process out of the bottom of the well, the main effect is to carry rock debris from the bottom of the well to the ground, the liquid level of the drilling fluid is important to monitor in real time, for example, underground water can appear when the liquid level suddenly rises, or underground caves can be encountered when the liquid level of the drilling fluid suddenly drops, and the like, so the liquid level of the drilling fluid needs to monitor in real time.
In the prior art, the liquid level measurement of the drilling fluid is carried out by installing a liquid level sensor in a drilling fluid pool, but the applicant finds that with the gradual popularization of the foam drilling fluid, compared with a conventional drilling fluid system, the liquid density of foam in the foam drilling fluid is lower, so that the static column pressure can be reduced, and the leakage is reduced, and the foam drilling fluid is gradually widely applied, but the traditional liquid level measurement mode is not suitable for the drilling fluid which is the foam drilling fluid, and the situation that the measurement is inaccurate when the traditional pressure measurement type liquid level sensor is used for measuring the liquid level of the foam drilling fluid can occur due to the fact that the foam drilling fluid contains more bubbles.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to accurately measure the liquid level of different types of drilling fluids.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a drilling fluid level measurement apparatus, comprising:
The acquisition unit is used for acquiring type information of drilling fluid;
the judging unit is used for judging whether the drilling fluid is foam drilling fluid or not based on the type information, if so, the first liquid level measuring unit is started, and if not, the second liquid level measuring unit is started;

and the second liquid level measuring unit is used for installing a liquid level sensor in the drilling liquid pool and acquiring the drilling liquid level information of the drilling liquid pool based on the liquid level sensor.
The device firstly obtains the type information of drilling fluid by using the acquisition unit, the purpose of obtaining the type of the drilling fluid is to measure by adopting different liquid level measurement modes according to different types, the problem that the accurate liquid level measurement of foam drilling fluid cannot be carried out due to the fact that a single measurement mode is adopted in the prior art is avoided, when the drilling fluid is foam drilling fluid, the condition that the measurement is inaccurate can occur by the traditional pressure type liquid level measurement sensor, the device realizes the accurate measurement of the liquid level of the foam drilling fluid by using the first liquid level measurement unit, and the measurement principle of the first liquid level measurement unit is as follows: the luminous body is arranged in the drilling fluid pool, an image of the contact part of the luminous body and the drilling fluid liquid level is shot, the image is analyzed, drilling fluid liquid level information of the drilling fluid pool is obtained based on scales on the surface of the luminous body, namely, actual liquid level information is obtained by shooting a liquid level image and then analyzing scales of the liquid level. When the drilling fluid is non-foam drilling fluid, a liquid level sensor is installed in the drilling fluid pool, and drilling fluid level information of the drilling fluid pool is obtained based on the liquid level sensor. The 2 liquid level measuring units can be used for starting corresponding liquid level measuring units for different types of drilling fluids to finish the measurement of the liquid level of the drilling fluids.
Wherein, in some embodiments, the first liquid level measurement unit comprises:
the device comprises a suspension mechanism, a telescopic mechanism, a luminous body, an image acquisition module and an analysis module;
The device comprises a suspension mechanism, a telescopic mechanism, a light-emitting body, an image acquisition module, an analysis module and a drilling fluid level information acquisition module, wherein the suspension mechanism is used for being suspended above the drilling fluid level of the drilling fluid tank, the telescopic mechanism is connected with the suspension mechanism, the telescopic mechanism is connected with the upper end of the light-emitting body, the lower end of the light-emitting body extends to the bottom of the drilling fluid tank during initial measurement, the telescopic mechanism is used for adjusting the position of the light-emitting body in the drilling fluid tank, the image acquisition module is used for shooting an image of the contact part of the light-emitting body and the drilling fluid level, and the analysis module is used for analyzing the image and acquiring the drilling fluid level information of the drilling fluid tank based on scales on the surface of the light-emitting body.
Wherein, part of the mechanism of the first liquid level measuring unit can be hung above the liquid level of the drilling liquid pool by using the hanging mechanism, the depth of the illuminant extending into the drilling liquid pool can be conveniently adjusted by using the telescopic function of the telescopic mechanism, the lower end of the illuminant extends to the bottom of the drilling liquid pool during initial measurement, thus the accurate liquid level can be measured, and after the device is used for a period of time, a layer of silt layer appears at the bottom of the drilling fluid pool, the illuminant is moved upwards for a certain distance by using the telescopic mechanism to separate from the silt layer, and the image acquisition and analysis functions are realized by using the cooperation of the image acquisition module and the analysis module, so that the drilling fluid level information of the drilling fluid pool is finally obtained.
In some embodiments, the applicant researches find that, because the drilling fluid is used for carrying rock debris from the bottom of a well to the ground, the drilling fluid contains more impurities, the drilling fluid is easily deposited in the drilling fluid pool in the process of recycling, so that a layer of silt layer appears at the bottom of the drilling fluid pool, and in the initial measurement, the lower end of the illuminant extends to the bottom of the drilling fluid pool, and when the current state is still kept after the layer of silt layer appears at the bottom of the drilling fluid pool, the liquid level measurement is inaccurate due to the influence of the silt layer.
The illuminant includes:
The device comprises a column body and a plurality of soft strips, wherein the soft strips are uniformly distributed on the column body from the top to the bottom of the column body, one end of each soft strip is fixedly connected with the surface of the column body, the other end of each soft strip is used for swinging along with the flowing of drilling fluid, and a plurality of light-emitting elements are uniformly distributed on the soft strips and the column body.
The invention designs a plurality of soft strips on the surface of the column body to detect whether a silt layer exists, and the drilling fluid in the drilling fluid pool is in a circulating flow state, because under normal conditions, the soft strips can swing due to flowing drilling fluid, when the soft strips are positioned in the silt, the soft strips can not swing along with the flowing drilling fluid due to the silt, and the light of a part of light-emitting elements positioned on the soft strips can be blocked by the silt, so that the intensity of the light emitted by the light-emitting elements is reduced. Therefore, whether the soft strip is covered by the sludge can be detected by detecting whether the soft strip swings along with the drilling fluid and the light intensity of the soft strip, and further whether the bottom of the drilling fluid pool is provided with the sludge and the thickness detection of the sludge are realized, and the thickness of the sludge can be calculated and obtained through the position information of the soft strip in the sludge layer. If three soft strips are positioned in the sludge, the thickness of the sludge layer is obtained based on the scale corresponding to the soft strip positioned in the sludge at the uppermost position.
In some embodiments, the image acquisition module is further configured to acquire a first image set by continuously acquiring images of a plurality of light emitters in a first preset time period, where the purpose of acquiring the plurality of continuous images is to determine whether the soft strip swings along with the flow of the drilling fluid through the plurality of continuous images, if yes, the drilling fluid may determine that the soft strip is not in the mud, if not, the drilling fluid is determined to be in the mud, and if yes, the analysis module is further configured to analyze the first image set to determine whether the soft strip is in the mud layer, and if yes, obtain a first thickness of the mud layer based on the position information of the soft strip in the mud layer, and lift the light emitters upward by a first distance based on the first thickness telescoping mechanism, where a size of the first distance is equal to a size of the first thickness.
The position information of the soft strip in the silt layer can be obtained through image recognition analysis, the position information of the soft strip can be obtained through recognition of the soft strip in the image and corresponding scale information of the soft strip, the first thickness of the silt layer is obtained based on the position information of the soft strip in the silt layer, the luminous body is lifted upwards by a first distance based on the first thickness telescopic mechanism, the part of the luminous body inserted into the silt is moved out of the silt layer to enable liquid level measurement to be accurate, the size of the first distance is equal to that of the first thickness, the purpose of the design is that the distance of the luminous body is equal to that of the silt layer, the phenomenon that part of the luminous body still exists in the silt layer due to movement is avoided, and the fact that the distance between the lower end of the luminous body and the silt layer still exists is increased to enable liquid level measurement to be inaccurate is avoided.
In some embodiments, the specific manner in which the analysis module analyzes the first image set to determine whether the soft strip is located in the sludge layer is:
Marking the position and the form of each soft strip in each image in the first image set, obtaining the luminous brightness of each soft strip in each image in the first image set, obtaining the position change information and the form change information of each soft strip for a plurality of continuous images, and judging that a soft strip is positioned in a silt layer if the position and the form of a certain soft strip are unchanged and the luminous brightness is smaller than a brightness threshold value.
Wherein, the soft strip in the silt layer can not swing along with the flowing of the drilling fluid due to the action of the silt, and the emitted light part of the soft strip can be blocked by the silt layer, so that the light intensity of the soft strip in the image can be weakened, therefore, the position change information and the form change information of the soft strip in a plurality of images can be used for judging whether the soft strip swings along with the flowing of the drilling fluid, and finally, the soft strip is comprehensively judged whether the soft strip is in the silt layer according to the luminous brightness of the soft strip.
Wherein, in some embodiments, the second liquid level measurement unit comprises:
the liquid level sensor comprises a first liquid level sensor, a second liquid level sensor, a DA module, a singlechip, an AD module, a display screen, a comparison circuit and an amplifying circuit;

In some cases, such as that cyanide sulfide is generally produced in the stratum, so that the drilling fluid is mixed with carbonate sulfate ions, an acidic fracturing fluid needs to be actively mixed during acid fracturing, the pH value of the drilling fluid is acidic, the drilling fluid is not suitable for working of a liquid level sensor under the acidic condition, and the corrosion of the liquid level sensor is serious, so that the first liquid level measuring unit can be started even if the drilling fluid is not foam.
Wherein, in some embodiments, the device further comprises a floating block, a through hole is arranged in the middle of the floating block, the column body passes through the through hole, and the floating block is in sliding connection with the column body.
