Embodiment

[0037] Please refer to figure 1 , a VSP optical cable downhole device, comprising: a well pipe 10, an optical cable 20, a long flexible traction 30 and an air pipe 40. The well pipe 10 is filled with water to ensure the effective transmission of seismic waves and avoid the ineffective transmission of seismic waves due to the gap between the optical cable 20 and the inner wall of the well pipe 10 . The fiber optic cable 20 is suspended vertically in the well tubular 10 . One end of the long flexible traction object 30 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the optical cable 20, and the other end hangs down freely. In this embodiment, the elongated flexible tractor 30 chain has a weight of 2Kg, and the top end of the chain is tied to the bottom end of the optical cable 20 . In other embodiments of the present invention, the weight of the elongated flexible tractor 30 can also be any value in 1.5-3Kg.

[0038] The air tube 40 is tied to the outer wall of the optical cable 2...

Abstract

The invention discloses a VSP optical cable well descending device, an oil-gas exploration system and a descending method, and belongs to the technical field of oil-gas exploration. An oil and gas exploration system comprises an optical fiber geophone, a vibroseis and a VSP optical cable descending device. The VSP optical cable descending device comprises a well casing filled with water, an optical cable, a long-strip flexible traction object and an air pipe, the optical cable is suspended in the well pipe; one end of the long-strip-shaped flexible traction object is connected with the bottomend of the optical cable, and the other end of the long-strip-shaped flexible traction object makes contact with the bottom wall of the well casing. The air pipe is arranged on the outer side wall ofthe optical cable along the extending direction of the optical cable; the air inlet end of the air pipe communicates with the air pump; a plurality of air bags are arranged on the side wall of the airpipe at intervals and communicated with the air pipe. According to the invention, the problem of excessive deformation of the optical cable can be avoided, and the quality of seismic signals detectedby a distributed optical fiber seismic wave sensing system (DAS) can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploration, in particular to a VSP optical cable downhole device, an oil and gas exploration system and a downhole method. Background technique [0002] Oil is an important strategic material. With the rapid development of China's economy, my country's consumption of oil is increasing. Increasing exploration and development efforts, developing new technologies, reducing traditional exploration costs, and increasing oil production are all important directions for future energy exploration. Seismic methods are the cornerstone of underground exploration and the main method of domestic oil and gas exploration. Compared with surface seismic surveys, downhole VSP experiments can help us obtain more details of rock properties and potential fluid paths in geothermal reservoirs. That is to use artificial methods to send strong low-frequency seismic waves to the stratum. The seismic waves encounter di...
