摘要:
A system for the measurement and surface data acquisition for optical fiber sensors containing Bragg gratings for the sensing of physical parameters originated from a set of oil wells, the system including: an optical system for signal processing, the signals being originated from physical parameters sensors installed in one single or in a set of oil and/or gas wells and resulting from the reflected wavelength in response to a perturbation of the physical parameter under measurement; an electronic system for signal processing for converting the optical intensity signals originated from the optical system into electrical signals with the aid of detectors that optimize the signal/noise ratio; and an optical switcher having an interface between a) and b), for expanding the number of monitored oil wells.

An optical transducer 100, 200 and method for the simultaneous measurement of downhole pressure and temperature in a single- or multi-point configuration including a body 10a/10b with an elastic membrane 50 onto which at least one Bragg grating 60a/60b is attached, and at least an additional Bragg grating 60b/60a contained on the same optical fiber 30. The elastic membrane 50 conveys strain proportional to the pressure and temperature conditions to which is submitted said transducer to at least one Bragg grating 60a/60b, the portion of light not reflected by the Bragg gratings 60a, 60b continues along the remaining of the optical fiber 30.
摘要:
Fiber optic position transducer that includes a magnetic or electromagnetic element, one or more segments of magnetostrictive material, Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors, a rod of material that is impenetrable to magnetic fields, optical fiber. One or more of the sensors is fixed upon a segment of magnetostrictive material, which is fixed to a rod, and may only be displaced longitudinally. The Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors have different wave lengths and are made of the same optical fiber. The magnetic or electromagnetic element included may be made of NdFeB (Neodymium Iron Boron) or metal alloys of TbDyFe (Terbium, Dysprosium and Iron), such as TX, Terphenol-D and others. It is applied to a control flow valve in an oil well, and it also refers to the calibration process of the position of the transducer.
摘要:
A fiber optics differential pressure transducer (100, 200, 300, 400) containing Bragg networks (118), said transducer being used to measure the differential pressure in a Venturi installed inside a pipe (1), through which a fluid like oil is displaced. The transducer comprises a body (110, 230, 360, 410) of different geometries and a diaphragm (2), at least one Bragg network (118) being attached on each of the surfaces of the same. The diaphragm (2) is placed parallel or transversal to the transducer's body (100, 200, 300, 400). The transducer (200) is isolated from the process fluid by flexible mechanical seals (201) which transmit the pressure up to surfaces of the diaphragm (2). The transducer (300, 400) is provided with two relief microvalves for the purpose of protecting the sensor [diaphragms (2)] in overpressure events.
摘要:
This invention comprises a system for measurement of temperature and pressure in oil wells. It comprises a single hybrid mandrel housing a double pressure and temperature optical sensor, capable of measuring temperature and pressure both in the ring and in the production tubing of an oil well and an insertable venturi tube inserted in the direction of a pressure differential optical sensor, capable of taking flow rate measurements, the installation aspects of which are substantially simplified.With the proposed construction, it is possible for one single hybrid mandrel (30) to read the pressure and temperature in the ring and tubing and the flow rate. With this, changes of flow rate are also possible, without the need to stop production for long periods for the hybrid mandrel (30) to be replaced, the mere replacement of the insertable venturi (12) sufficing, by means of an insertion and extraction GS tool (17), which is an operation requiring a much shorter time.
