In the perforating or drilling conditions, the high-speed liquid-solid two-phase flow will cause erosion damage to the pipe wall, resulting in thinning of the pipe, which will cause serious safety hazards to the oil and gas development and construction. In this paper, the liquid-solid two-phase flow is simulated by discrete particle two-phase numerical computation method to simulate the erosion of spiral flexing tubing, and the fluid motion characteristics, particle trajectory and inner wall erosion results are obtained under different pitch, different flow rate, different particle concentration and different particle size. The simulation results show that the erosion damage is mainly distributed in the vicinity of the helix, and the erosion rate gradually decreases with the increase of the pitch. With the increase of fluid velocity and particle concentration, the erosion rate increases. The effect of particle size on erosion is mainly reflected in the distribution of erosion and has a small effect on the extreme value of erosion rate. As the particle size increases, the kinetic energy of the particles increases, and the damage site is more concentrated on the outer side of the helix.
In order to solve the problems of low efficiency and low safety caused by manual operation of coiled tubing machine, automatic control technology is widely used in coiled tubing operation equipment. At present, most coiled tubing equipment is still hydraulically controlled, control equipment operation by manually operating hydraulic valves. Since the concept of "intelligent coiled tubing" was put forward at the sixth International Petroleum Industry Summit Forum in 2014, it is considered as the key development direction of coiled tubing technology; therefore, in the context of global energy transformation and upgrading, the development of coiled tubing equipment generally tends to automation, informatization and intelligence, carry out the research on automatic technology of fully electronic control continuous tube equipment, lay the foundation for the digitization and intellectualization of the control system, Improving the performance and safety of equipment is an important means to solve the efficient and safe development of underground operation. After investigating a large number of documents, this paper summarizes the application of automatic control technology in coiled tubing operation equipment at home and abroad, and forms relevant conclusions and suggestions. The research can provide strong guidance for technical development and on-site engineering services.
