Embodiment 1

[0026] A method for detecting circulating pressure loss of wellbore drilling in a narrow safe density window formation, comprising the following steps:

[0027] 1) Stop the pump, quickly close several throttle valves to increase the casing pressure value Pc, and stop closing the throttle valves when the casing pressure value reaches the design casing pressure value Pcmax, where the design casing pressure value design casing pressure value Pcmax=P fm +P CD +△P,P fm is the estimated circulation loss value during drilling fluid circulation, P CD Casing pressure value during normal drilling; △P is the estimated circulation loss value error and an additional value for safety when considering drilling fluid circulation, 0.1≤△P≤7Mpa;

[0028] At this time, the bottom hole pressure BHP=P H +P C , and BHP>P L , then Pcmax+P H >P L , the wellbore fluid leaks into the formation, and the casing pressure Pc gradually decreases. When the bottom hole pressure BHP=the formation leakage...

Embodiment 2

[0035] On the basis of Embodiment 1, in step 1), according to the adjacent well data, the error compensation value ΔP is increased or decreased for the estimated circulation loss during drilling fluid circulation.

[0036] Correct the estimated circulation loss during drilling fluid circulation, improve the accuracy of the estimated circulation loss value, and correspondingly improve the accuracy of the design casing pressure value Pcmax, so as to facilitate accurate control of the casing pressure value and avoid a large amount of drilling fluid leakage or In the event of a safety hazard.

Embodiment 3

[0038] On the basis of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the design casing pressure value Pcmax<10.05Mpa.

[0039] The design casing pressure value Pcmax<10.05Mpa ensures safety and avoids formation fracturing, large amount of drilling fluid leakage, and potential safety hazards.

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of control over oil and gas field well-drilling pressure, and in particular to a thin safe density window formation well-drilling wellbore circulation pressure consumption detection method. According to the technical scheme, the thin safe density window formation well-drilling wellbore circulation pressure consumption detection method comprises the following steps that (1) pump stopping is conducted, specifically, a plurality of throttle valves are quickly closed to increase the casing pressure value Pc, and closing of the throttle valves is stopped when thecasing pressure value reaches a designed casing pressure value Pcmax, wherein the designed casing pressure value Pcmax=Pfm+PCD+delta P, Pfm is an estimated circulation loss value during circulation ofwell-drilling liquid, PCD is a casing pressure value during normal drilling, delta P is an additional value considering the estimated circulation loss value loss and safety during circulation of thewell-drilling liquid, and 0.1<=delta P<=7 Mpa; (2) the change of the casing pressure value is observed, when the casing pressure value gradually tends to be stable, and a stable casing pressure valuePCL is taken; and (3) the circulation pressure consumption Pf of a well-drilling wellbore is calculated, and Pf=PCL-PCD. According to the method, circulation pressure consumption of the thin safe density window formation well-drilling wellbore is detected in an accurate pressure control state.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of drilling pressure control in oil and gas fields, in particular to a method for detecting circulation pressure loss of a wellbore in a formation with a narrow safe density window. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the intensification of oil and gas exploration and development, the number of wells drilled in various complex areas is increasing. The application of conventional overbalance pressure control technology can no longer meet the requirements of safe drilling and production in narrow density window formations. Circulating pressure loss is related to wellbore pressure control and process implementation during drilling, connecting single (pillar), and tripping. If the drilling wellbore circulating pressure loss is not accurately grasped, it may cause complex accidents such as lost circulation or blowout; therefore, accurate Knowing the wellbore circulation pressure loss in formation drilling i...
