A dynamic testing device and experimental method for the sealing ability of cement sheath

Abstract

The invention discloses a dynamic testing device for the isolation ability of a cementing sheath and an experimental method. The device comprises a working platform and a testing main body, wherein the working platform comprises a computer; the testing main body comprises kettle covers on the top and at the bottom; the middle part of the testing main body is taken as a kettle body; the kettle body comprises an analog stratum, a cement sheath and a casing from outside to inside in sequence; a solid column body is inserted into the casing; filter screens and eccentric bases are arranged on contact parts between the kettle covers and a stratum-cement sheath-casing end face. The method comprises the following steps: preparing cement slurry, and filling the cement slurry into an annular space; waiting on cement setting, curing and hardening into a sheath; changing the temperature and pressure in the casing, testing radial displacement of the casing and peripheral displacement of the analog stratum, and monitoring the airtightness failure condition of the cement sheath through an acoustic wave testing curve; detecting micro-cracks generated in the cement sheath and micro-annuluses on interfaces I and II, and analyzing the airtightness failure form of the cement sheath. The dynamic testing device is reliable in principle, and is easy and convenient to operate; integrated curing is performed in an experimental process, and more data support and a theoretical basis are provided for researches for testing the isolation ability of the cementing sheath.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a dynamic testing device and an experimental method for dynamically monitoring the sealing ability of a cement ring under different working conditions in the field of petroleum engineering cementing. technical background [0002] Oil and gas well cementing operation refers to the process of injecting oil well cement into the annular space between the downhole casing and the formation, so that the cement slurry is condensed and solidified within the design time to form a cement ring with interlayer sealing ability. The role of the cement ring in the downhole is not only to seal the formation, but also to suspend and protect the casing and prolong the production cycle of the whole well. [0003] However, the service environment of the cement ring in the well is very harsh. During actual construction on site, working conditions such as casing eccentricity, potbelly boreholes, slurry mixing, and uneven filling will also have a non-neglig...

[0007] Secondly, for the simulation of downhole complex situations, the previous devices only simulated the situation where the casing is centered, but there are few examples for eccentricity, mud mixing, pot-bellied holes, uneven filling, horizontal wells, double-layer casings, and packer setting positions. The simulation of cement sheath and corrosion, compared with the regular wellbore, the sealing performance of the cement sheath in the complete filling and the actual downhole situation will not be the same

[0008] Finally, the test method is single, and whether "gas channeling" occurs is used as the basis for observing whether the sealing capacity of the cement sheath is damaged or not.
