  • Patent number: 12131107
    Abstract: A device and a method for early monitoring of gas intrusion based on pressure wave propagation are provided in the present disclosure. The technical solution is as follows. The lower end of the liquid storage tank is connected to the simulated wellbore through a liquid injection pipeline, a centrifugal pump, a pressure-stabilizing water tank, and a mass flowmeter. One end of the gas storage tank is connected to a screw air compressor, while the other end is connected to the simulated wellbore through an injection pipeline and a micro-orifice flowmeter. The gas-liquid mixer is provided at the upper end of the simulated wellbore, with the pressure-disturbing device connected below it. Multiple pressure sensors are provided at the middle of the simulated wellbore and connected to the computer via wires and an oscilloscope.

  • Patent number: 12071849
    Abstract: A device for simulating gas intrusion and bullheading in a wellbore under different inclinations is provided, which includes a wellbore outer pipe with an inner pipe and an LED light source therein. An outer wall of the wellbore outer pipe is provided with one or more inlets. A bubble generator is arranged outside a lower plug, and extends through the lower plug via an air inlet needle into the inner cavity of the wellbore outer pipe. An input end of the bubble generator is connected to an air compressor. A lower outlet of the wellbore outer pipe is connected to an inlet of a formation unit through a pipeline and a back pressure valve. A simulating method using such device is also provided.
