Problems solved by technology

[0002] In the field of oil and gas technology, in order to improve the degree of reservoir production, save the land acquisition area of ​​the well site, protect the environment and reduce drilling costs, sometimes three-dimensional wellbore orbital drilling construction is carried out. In the oil (gas) area, the horizontal sections of each single well are parallel to each other, which requires three-dimensional wellbore track construction, which is difficult to construct
However, for oil and gas fields formed by fluvial deposits such as Daniudi Gas Field, Honghe Oilfield and Jinghe Oilfield, the reservoirs are highly heterogeneous, and it is difficult to accurately land on the A target, making the construction even more difficult.
[0003] At present, there is no relatively successful construction method for the three-dimensional borehole trajectory of horizontal wells in heterogeneous reservoirs. Or cylindrical helical design, the tool face angle is changing in real time, and a lot of time and energy are spent on adjusting the tool face; (2) The tool build-up rate is constantly changing with the change of the well inclination angle, and the tool build-up rate must be adjusted frequently. The number of drilling times is high, the drilling time is low, and the wellbore instability is prone to occur; (3) Due to the heterogeneity of the reservoir, there are "concerns" during the landing process, and the construction process is blind, which may easily lead to misses; (4) In the process of directional construction of self-made inclined points, the directional azimuth is generally based on empirical values, which causes great difficulties for the subsequent three-dimensional torsional azimuth
[0004] Judging from the drilling practice in the Ordos Basin of the North China Branch Company, at present, the traditional third-generation deflection directional tool system is used to complete the three-dimensional wellbore trajectory of the horizontal well in the heterogeneous reservoir. It takes more than 30 days, the construction time is long, and the construction volume is large; the fourth-generation directional system is adopted, that is, the rotary steerable drilling system, and the construction realizes real-time monitoring and control, and the construction time is short, but only this daily construction costs more than 200,000 yuan, which is high cost , which is not conducive to the actual use of oil (gas) drilling in domestic oil fields, and the third-generation phasing tool system, the daily directional cost is only about 20,000 yuan, which is only about one tenth of the fourth-generation directional system, so Research card develops a method using conventional drilling equipment

Embodiment 1

[0044] In this example, a three-dimensional horizontal well in a heterogeneous reservoir in Jinghe Oilfield is used as the construction object, and the ZJ40 drilling rig is used without top drive. The vertical planing diagram of the well track is as follows figure 1 As shown, target point A is the starting point of the horizontal section of the borehole trajectory; target point B is the end point of the borehole trajectory, and the drill tool assembly is "PDC bit + single curved screw + non-magnetic drill collar + measurement-while-drilling tool + righting Tool + Drill Collar + Heavy Drill Pipe + Ordinary Drill Pipe".

Embodiment 3

[0045] The three-dimensional horizontal well construction method of this embodiment is: the specific operation steps are:

[0046] 1) Correct the center points of the turntable, crown block and wellhead on the same vertical line, and the error is less than 5mm;

[0047] 2) Dig a circular well with a depth of 2.8 meters and a diameter of 3.2 meters, lower it into a circular iron bucket, and seal the annulus with cement concrete;

[0048] 3) Carry out drilling construction in the upper part of the one-dimensional vertical well section, the outer diameter of the drill bit is 311.2mm, the rotational speed of the drill bit is controlled at 90-95r / min, the displacement is 40L / s, and the drilling pressure is increased to 2-4 tons, and the Quaternary loess is drilled The soft layer entered the diagenetic formation with a vertical depth of 100 meters, and the well depth was 351.6m. Drilling was stopped and the wellbore was kept stable with heavy mud. Well cement mud 22.1m 3 , replace p...

Abstract

The invention discloses a three-dimensional (3D) horizontal well drilling construction method, and belongs to the technical field of oil and gas well drilling. According to the method, a directional inclined well section is four sectioned; the 3D angle building variable-azimuth well section drilling build-up rate of a second section and the two-dimensional angle building variable-azimuth well section drilling build-up rates of a first section and a fourth section are identical, so that the technical shortages that tool build-up rates need to be adjusted usually for the reason that build-up rates in the traditional construction method are changed continuously and pulling out of a hole and drilling down are performed frequently are overcome; meanwhile, the angle building variable-azimuth well section turning direction tool face angle of the second section is a constant all the time, and the time and construction amount to put a tool face are saved. By the construction method disclosed by the invention, well drilling and directional construction are performed conveniently; the heterogeneous reservoir shooting probability is improved; the traditional drilling tool equipment is used, the construction time in the same case can be shorted by above 25%; the construction efficiency is greatly improved; the construction difficulty is reduced; the construction costs are reduced by above 17%; the costs are greatly reduced; the construction method is suitable for actual production.
