Investigation on gas-solids hydrodynamics and matching enhancement in feedstock injection zone of double-level nozzle riser

With the development of current energy economy,it is necessary to improve the product distribution of fluid catalytic cracking process,which is achieved by a riser reactor with double-level of nozzles.The new riser is constructed by adding a level of secondary nozzle 0.5 m below the main nozzle of traditional riser.This paper investigates the gas-solids flow and oil-catalyst matching feature based on the optical fiber and tracer technologies.According to the distribution of solids holdup,particle velocity and dimen-sionless jet concentration,the feedstock injection zone can be divided into the upstream flow control region,the main flow control region,and the secondary flow control region in the radial direction.The size of the regions is changed by the jet gas velocity and axial height.There is a poor match of secondary nozzle jet to particles below the main nozzle.The jet gas from secondary nozzles can improve the matching effect of oil-catalyst near the wall and reduce the probability of coking above the main nozzle.

Development and prospect of downhole monitoring and data transmission technology for separated zone water injection

This article outlines the development of downhole monitoring and data transmission technology for separated zone water injection in China.According to the development stages,the principles,operation processes,adaptability and application status of traditional downhole data acquisition method,cable communications and testing technology,cable-controlled downhole parameter real-time monitoring communication method and downhole wireless communication technology are introduced in detail.Problems and challenges of existing technologies in downhole monitoring and data transmission technology are pointed out.According to the production requirement,the future development direction of the downhole monitoring and data transmission technology for separated zone water injection is proposed.For the large number of wells adopting cable measuring and adjustment technology,the key is to realize the digitalization of downhole plug.For the key monitoring wells,cable-controlled communication technology needs to be improved,and downhole monitoring and data transmission technology based on composite coiled tubing needs to be developed to make the operation more convenient and reliable.For large-scale application in oil fields,downhole wireless communication technology should be developed to realize automation of measurement and adjustment.In line with ground mobile communication network,a digital communication network covering the control center,water distribution station and oil reservoir should be built quickly to provide technical support for the digitization of reservoir development.
