Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of oil drilling and return outflow measuring method and device, belong to the oil and gas well drilling technical field of measurement and test.
Background technology:
In the Process of Oil Well Drilling, it is one of important parameters in oil and the geological drilling work that outflow is returned in outlet, how to accurately measure mouthful flow and become the problem of always exploring in the oil drilling, in fact with regard to drilling well, measure basic goal that outlet returns outflow and be and determine whether rate of discharge changes and change size on normal basis, judged whether that abnormal conditions such as overflow take place, thereby taken measures early, avoid the generation of accident, reduce life and property loss.
Several schemes appearred in the measurement for rate of discharge for many years, the mud that returns out from annular space wherein occurred early, service time is the longest is the baffle-type flow meter, by aerial pipeline, mud ditch, flow to vibrosieve, enter mud pit, baffle flowmeter is contained on the aerial pipeline, when mud flow, impact baffle plate, baffle plate move upward with the mud liquid level under the mud effect, rotate thereby drive the potentiometer shaft that links to each other with connection shaft, cause that the output resistance of potentiometer also changes thereupon.Obviously, this method is to determine the baffle plate lifting height by detection resistance value (or magnitude of voltage), thereby determines the situation of change of flow.This flowmeter structure is simple, and is convenient durable.Shortcoming is: the present outflow that returns is measured all returning out on the pipeline and is measured, and the mobile cross section of drilling fluid is very big on this pipeline, make Measurement Resolution very low, this outer baffle is often clung by mud, the lifting height of baffle plate is changed, cause certainty of measurement to reduce, and need frequent clean and maintenance.As calculated, when returning outflow when 24L/s is increased to 25L/s, consider the very big and adhesion of mud on baffle plate of liquid level area, the rising amplitude has only about 2%, most of baffle-type flow meter does not reach this precision, makes that this measuring method of baffle-type flow meter is infeasible.
Another is indirect measuring method, by measuring the mud pit level high variable quantity, the anti-situation of change of releasing rate of discharge, what this method was used is float level meter, but because the mud pit sectional area is too big, makes the variation of mud pit level can not in time reflect the variation of rate of discharge, lag time is oversize, error is big, and precision is low, has influenced the meaning of measuring to a great extent.As calculated, be in the mud pit of 5m, suppose to return outflow and be increased to 25L/s from 24L/s length and width, the mud pit level 144mm that only raises after hour, this precision does not satisfy on-the-spot needs at all.
The other flow meter, though higher as certainties of measurement such as electromagnetic flowmeter, turbine flowmeter, ultrasonic flowmeters, also all because outlet mud full packages and to return out the size of pipeline irregular and influenced certainty of measurement greatly not.
