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 medium-deep well plugging method using a water-absorbing-swellable plugging agent, which comprises the steps of 1) preparing a plugging agent that matches the leakage rate of the lost section; and 2) preparing a slurry with a viscosity of 40s to 55s. Base liquid; 3) Add the plugging agent into the pulping base liquid and stir and mix evenly, add sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH to 10-11 to obtain the plugging slurry; 4) Pump the plugging slurry in according to the small displacement, large Based on the principle of displacement replacement, quickly drill into the formation of the lost section; 5) Adopt the method of circulating pressure or closing the well to suppress the pressure, so that the plugging slurry can completely enter the leaking zone; Complete the plugging construction; the plugging method realizes that the delayed expansion plugging agent is respectively applied in the plugging construction of the lost formation with different leakage rates, so as to ensure that it is completely pumped into the gaps in the lost formation and is not prone to leakage, Effectively exert its effect of delaying expansion blockage.

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...
