Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of underground multilayer testing, in particular to a high-durability read-back wireless radio frequency underground multilayer testing pipe column.

Background

At present, a lifting or releasing type or pressure-controlled type tester is adopted for formation testing to realize multiple well opening and closing, and a pipe column can only test a single layer once. If the same well needs to be tested in a multilayer flowing mode to obtain production, the tubular column needs to be pulled down for multiple times to carry out the test layer by layer and single clamp to obtain the production, and the problems of long construction period, high cost, low efficiency and the like exist. Therefore, the downhole needs to be subjected to layered testing and layered control. The current underground layered testing technology mainly comprises a cable ground direct reading technology and an underground storage type testing technology. The cabled ground direct-reading technology has the problems of high safety risk, short testing time, inaccurate testing data and the like, so the underground storage type testing technology is the most widely applied layered testing technology method in the prior art.

The underground storage type testing technology achieves the purpose of layer control by putting and testing a testing pipe column with a plurality of stages of packers underground, most of intelligent switches adopted by the existing underground storage type testing pipe column are triggered at regular time, namely, the opening action time of the intelligent switches is set according to the putting required time, and the closing action time is set according to the working time, so that the underground switching action is completed. By adopting the mode, the leading action of the pipe column is difficult to ensure, when the underground condition changes, the underground parameter change cannot be obtained in time, and the pipe column cannot be adjusted; the test pipe column can only be salvaged and the internal data can be read and analyzed. The problem that the tubular column cannot be flexibly regulated and controlled underground can be solved by adopting a wireless radio frequency method. By putting the radio frequency tags, all intelligent switches of the stratum can be controlled in real time, and the intelligent switches of different stratums have different address codes, so that signal mistransmission cannot occur. However, the existing partial pressure measurement process pipe column based on the radio frequency identification communication technology has the defects of high energy consumption of a power supply unit and short standby time because an intelligent switch is always in a communicable state, and meanwhile, data stored underground can only be read after being salvaged, the underground parameter change cannot be obtained in real time, and once the underground abnormity occurs, the abnormal condition in the underground can be checked by throwing and salvaging for many times.

The specific structure of the high-durability readable-back wireless radio frequency downhole multilayer test string is described in detail as follows:

the method comprises the following steps: the packer 1, the intelligent switch valve 2 and the radio frequency tag collector 3 form a downhole multilayer test pipe column;
