Problems solved by technology

However, when the applicant applied this new type of delayed expansion plugging agent to the actual construction site for plugging operations, he found that if the conventional plugging conditions (there is no limit to the pH value and temperature of the plugging slurry) or the loss rate > 5m 3 / h, using delayed expansion plugging agent alone, or using a single particle size delayed expansion plugging agent combined with rigid plugging agent can not achieve a good plugging effect, so it is necessary to design a new type of The on-site plugging process matched with the delayed expansion plugging agent, so as to realize its use in the on-site plugging construction operation and fully exert its delayed expansion effect

Abstract

The invention discloses a middle-deep well plugging method by adopting a deferrable water swelling plugging agent. The middle-deep well plugging method comprises the sequential steps that (1) a plugging agent matched with the leakage rate of a leakage section is prepared; (2) pulping base liquid with the viscosity of 40 s to 55 s is prepared; (3) the plugging agent is added into the pulping base liquid and stirred and mixed evenly, and sodium hydroxide is added to adjust the pH of 10-11 to obtain a plugging slurry; (4) according to the principle of small displacement pump in and large displacement replacement, the plugging slurry is quickly driven into a leakage section stratum; (5) the method of circulation pressing or shut in and pressure building is adopted, and thus the plugging slurrycompletely enters a leakage layer; and (6) pulling out of hole is conducted to a safe well section for static plugging for a period time, and the plugging construction is completed. According to theplugging method, the deferrable water swelling plugging agent is correspondingly applied to the plugging construction of the leakage stratum with different leakage rates, the situation that the deferrable water swelling plugging agent is completely pumped into the leakage stratum gap and not prone to leakage is ensured, and the effect of deferrable swelling and plugging of the deferrable water swelling plugging agent is effectively played.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plugging in petroleum operations, in particular to a plugging method for medium-deep wells using a plugging agent capable of delaying water absorption and expansion. Background technique [0002] Lost circulation is one of the most common and frequently encountered complex problems in drilling operations, and it is common in major oil fields in China. Generally, the fracture width or pore size of the lost formation cannot be accurately grasped during lost circulation, so it is difficult to ensure that these materials can form successful bridge plugs in the formation. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems faced by bridge plugging, water-swellable materials are used in plugging construction. When the water-absorbing swelling material is used to seal the leakage layer, it is not necessary to strictly match the particles to the leakage channel, but to use the expansion characteristics of the particl...
