Embodiment 1

[0056] 1. The technical method of changing to geothermal well

[0057] At present, in winter, residential areas in oilfields mainly use boilers for heating, supplemented by direct geothermal water heating, which is costly and has unsatisfactory heating effects. According to experience, the cost of drilling an Upper Tertiary geothermal well (excluding surface engineering) is (150-200)*104 yuan, which is relatively high. In order to reduce the cost, a large number of existing oilfield wells in the oilfield can be transformed into Geothermal wells are used, which not only saves costs, but also enables the reuse of end-of-life assets. Some of the abandoned wells in the oil field with intact well structure can be transformed into geothermal wells for reuse, and the effect obtained is no different from that of newly excavated geothermal wells.

[0058] The main reconstruction steps of the test well are as follows:

[0059] (1) Collect oil well logging, workover, perforation and va...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for transforming an oil field abandoned well into a geothermal well or a brine well. The method comprises the steps that in an oil field exploitation area, an oil field abandoned well with a brine layer below an oil extraction layer or an oil field abandoned well with the bottom boundary of a geothermal reservoir layer 200 m above an oil extraction layer position is selected, a drill pipe drill rig is lowered into an oil layer casing pipe to carry out pigging, and when pigging is smoothly achieved and after it is determined that no abnormal condition exits in the well, the artificial bottom of the well is poured to seal the lower portion oil extraction layer position; a pump chamber section is transformed, and a water drainage pipe is additionally arranged on an exploitation layer; perforation construction is carried out on a technical casing pipe located on the exploited geothermal reservoir layer or the brine layer; a water filtering pipe is lowered into the exploitation layer, and for the transformed geothermal well or the brine well, sand washing well washing is directly carried out, or a water filtering pipe with a sediment pipe on the lower portion is lowered; after well washing, exploitation testing, sampling analysis and acceptance check are carried out. By means of the method, the oil field abandoned well resources are recycled, and the double effects of energy conservation and environment protection, and economic benefits of recycling of the oil field abandoned well resources are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil fields, in particular to a method for transforming abandoned wells in oil fields into geothermal wells or brine wells. Background technique [0002] In the field of oil fields, due to the increasing oil production, the oil output of many oil wells has decreased year by year, and the number of abandoned oil wells has increased year by year. Taking Shengli Oilfield as an example, more than 10,000 oil wells have been abandoned. In order to prevent the destruction of the geological environment and the pollution of groundwater, the oilfield expends a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to close the wells and abandon them in the wilderness. On the other hand, in order to find new oil and gas resources, a large number of exploration wells are discarded every year. At present, most of them are abandoned and treated as abandoned wells. [0003] In recent years, energy saving, emission ...
