A novel noise suppression method is proposed for the pressure surveillance of heavy oil thermal recovery well using white light extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (EFPI) fiber-optic sensor. The moving grey model GM(1, 1) algorithm is applied to suppress the non-stationary noise and disturbance in downhole environment. Both theoretical analysis and field test results show that there exists a threshold effect for the moving window length selection, the optimized value of window length occurs at the threshold point which best removes the high frequency disturbance as well as retaining the fast change of actual pressure signal. Field test results show that the proposed method can increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of pressure profile with 10.4dB, and then can effectively suppress the large deviation in the forecasting result of daily oil production by combining temperature information.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
