Problems solved by technology

However, the one-time plugging success rate of the conventional gel plugging process only reaches 41.54%. The main factors leading to the low plugging success rate are as follows:
[0003] ①Most of the Luohe formation in the Longdong area is a large-pore high-permeability low-pressure water layer, and with the intensification of formation water exploitation in the Longdong area, there are abnormal pressure zones in the Luohe formation in some areas of the block, and the formation pressure coefficient is only 0.75 Between -0.85, it is difficult to improve the pressure bearing capacity of the formation at one time by using conventional plugging technology, resulting in multiple leakage and repeated plugging
[0005] ③ The internal structure of several gel plugging systems currently used is loose and lacks uniform structural integrity, resulting in a serious shortage of compressive strength of the material itself, and no cementation with the leakage layer. With the erosion of the mud, it is easy to lose along the leakage Channel loss, resulting in a low plugging success rate
[0006] ④Once the conventional gel is formed, the viscosity of the system will not change. Even if there is a small amount of proppant, its overall compressive strength is basically constant and will not change with time. The strength growth in the middle and later stages of the formation is extremely limited; During the drilling process, the drilling fluid is repeatedly washed out, and the probability of lost circulation increases, which greatly reduces the plugging time

Embodiment 1

[0033] The invention discloses a loss-of-return cross-linked gel plugging process, in which a pre-cross-linked gel plugging slurry is prepared in a slurry mixing tank 1, and the pre-cross-linked gel plugging slurry is composed of water and a gel thickener , gel strength regulator and bridge plugging proppant, wherein the gel thickener accounts for 0.8-1% of the total weight, the gel strength regulator accounts for 3-4% of the total weight, and the bridge plugging proppant The agent accounts for 5-7% of the total weight, and the rest is water. After the components are fully dissolved and mixed, the light drill pipe is lowered to the bottom of the leakage layer for 5-10 meters, and the pre-crosslinked gel plugging slurry and gel crosslinked The agent is simultaneously injected into the leakage zone in the well, wherein the volume ratio of the pre-crosslinked gel plugging slurry and the gel crosslinking agent is 100:2.5-3.5. The mud mixing tank 1 is connected to the mud pump 5 th...

Embodiment 2

[0035] On the basis of Example 1, the mixing order of the components in the pre-crosslinked gel plugging slurry is as follows: first add 0.8 to 1% gel strength regulator in water, and after fully stirring, add 0.3 % gel thickener to properly increase the viscosity, then add 5-7% bridge plugging proppant, and finally add the remaining 0.5-0.7% gel thickener.

Embodiment 3

[0037]On the basis of Example 1 or 2, the simultaneous injection of the pre-crosslinked gel plugging slurry and the gel cross-linking agent specifically refers to: the pre-cross-linked gel plugging slurry and the gel cross-linking agent After the mud pump 5 is mixed evenly, it is synchronously injected into the leakage layer in the well. The suction line 2 of the mud pump is provided with a right-angle elbow 4 with a flow regulating valve. The pump 7 is connected, and the small electric pump 7 pumps the gel crosslinking agent into the mud pump 5, and the mud mixing tank 1 introduces the pre-crosslinked gel plugging slurry into the mud pump 5.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] As the best implementation mode of the present invention, on the basis of the above examples, before the gel cross-linking agent is mixed with the pre-cross-linked gel plugging slurry, first add water to dilute the gel cross-linking agent to The concentration of the original gel cross-linking agent is 40%, and...

Abstract

The invention discloses a loss-return leakage loss cross-linked gel plugging process, relating to the field of oil drilling. Pre-cross-linked gel plugging slurry is prepared in a slurry compounding tank and consists of water, a gel gelling agent, a gel strength conditioning agent and a bridge plug plugging propping agent, wherein, the gel gelling agent accounts for 0.8 to 1 percent of the total weight, the gel strength conditioning agent accounts for 3 to 4 percent of the total weight, the bridge plug plugging propping agent accounts for 5 to 7 percent of the total weight, and the rest is water. After all the components are dissolved and mixed fully, an optical drill rod is put into the position of 5 to 10m below a loss zone, the pre-cross-linked gel plugging slurry and a gel cross linkerare respectively and simultaneously injected to the loss zone in a well with the volume ratio thereof of 2.5 to 3.5 : 100. By chemical crosslinking and coagulation accelerating, the whole structural strength of the gel can be improved truly, and the one-time plugging success ratio is improved to be more than 50 percent.
