Problems solved by technology

[0004] Because the physical environment of hydrate reservoirs is deep water and shallow layers, it may have new characteristics such as poor formation diagenesis, formation strength, and poor permeability (due to hydrate solidification), so traditional hydraulic fracturing stimulation technology cannot meet the requirements of hydrate development. need
[0005] After searching the existing technical patent documents at home and abroad, it is found that there is no patent related to natural gas hydrate completion technology

Embodiment 1

[0034] Embodiment 1: in combination with Figure 1-7 , to further describe the present invention:

[0035] The present invention includes adopting a large-sized drill bit to drill to the target well depth at one time to form a large main borehole 5, and then using radial horizontal well technology to drill multiple horizontal branch boreholes 6 in the natural gas hydrate reservoir. The specific steps are as follows:

[0036] After the operation of a large main borehole 5 is completed, the downhole skewer 21 is lowered, and the whole set of devices is fixed on the casing 8 at the bottom of the well;

Abstract

The invention relates to a well completion method for multi-branch radial horizontal wells with large boreholes of natural gas hydrate. The technical solution is to use a large-size drill bit to drill to the target well depth at one time to form a large main borehole, and then use radial horizontal well technology to drill multiple horizontal branch boreholes in the gas hydrate reservoir to maximize the storage capacity. The contact surface area between the layer and the wellbore. The beneficial effects are: avoiding or reducing downhole complex situations in the production process, and greatly increasing the number of branch well holes; multi-branch radial horizontal well holes can maximize the exposed area and depth of natural gas hydrate reservoirs, greatly improving Improve the recovery rate, reduce the number of wells, and reduce development investment; the window sealant used, that is, the cement slurry system is stable, the strength develops quickly, and the thickening time is adjustable, which can effectively prevent the hydrate layer from sealing shallow water-gas channeling , with good construction performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of unconventional natural gas engineering, in particular to a completion method for multi-branch radial horizontal wells with large boreholes of natural gas hydrate. Background technique [0002] Natural gas hydrate is mainly distributed in deep-sea shallow sediments. It is an ice-like crystalline substance formed by natural gas and water under high-pressure and low-temperature conditions. Because it looks like ice and can burn when exposed to fire, it is also called " Combustible ice" or "solid gas" and "air ice". Its resources are equivalent to twice the sum of fossil fuel resources such as coal, oil and natural gas in the world. Natural gas hydrate is recognized as an important follow-up energy source with good prospects. It has the advantages of wide distribution, large amount of resources, high energy density and no pollution. Since the 1980s, many countries have paid great attention to the research of natural ...
