Problems solved by technology

When the yield strength of the material is lower than the critical value, the wellbore will be unstable, resulting in wellbore damage or even scrapping
[0004] At present, the evaluation method for casings used in heavy oil steam thermal recovery wells is only to measure the yield strength of casing materials at room temperature and high temperature, but does not involve the evaluation of material yield strength changes under tension-compression cycles. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a Bauschinger effect evaluation method for casing materials to improve the safety and reliability of the wellbore

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for evaluating the Bauschinger effect of casings used in heavy oil steam huff and puff thermal recovery wells, belonging to the field of oil and gas exploitation, including: S1, measuring the initial yield strength σ of casing materials to be evaluated 0 and tensile strength σ t ; S2, take the casing sample, conduct multiple tension-compression symmetric cycle tests, and measure the yield strength σ of each tension stage 1 , σ 2 , σ 3 , ...; S3, calculate the increment Δσ of the yield strength after each cycle of tension-compression 1 , Δσ 2 , Δσ 3 , ..., define the average value of each yield strength increment as Δσ; S4, according to the formula Δσ T =A×B×ΔσPredict the total increment of yield strength Δσ within the service life of the casing T ; S5, if Δσ is positive, and the formula Δσ T ≤σ t -σ 0 If it is established, the tested casing material is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified; if Δσ is a negative value, and the formula σ 0 +Δσ T ≥σ c If it is established, the tested casing material is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified. By measuring and calculating the average value Δσ of the yield strength increment, the invention visually judges whether the casing material under evaluation belongs to cyclic softening or cyclic hardening, and further judges whether the casing material under test is qualified.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of petroleum and natural gas exploitation, in particular to a method for evaluating the Bauschinger effect of casings used in heavy oil steam huff and puff thermal recovery wells. Background technique [0002] The Bauschinger effect is a phenomenon that a small amount of plastic deformation occurs when a metal material is pre-loaded, and then loaded in the same direction after unloading, the specified residual stress increases; reversely loaded, the specified residual stress decreases. The Bauschinger effect is related to changes in resistance to dislocation motion in metallic materials. Heavy oil is one of the main types of oil and gas resources at home and abroad. Domestically, heavy oil is mainly exploited in Xinjiang, Liaohe, and Shengli Oilfields. The most important technology for heavy oil production is steam huffing and puffing. Due to the constraints of the formation and cement sheath, the casing will bear co...
