Problems solved by technology

At present, sand filter tubes are generally used in conjunction with conventional circulation filling, extrusion filling and other technical measures to treat oil wells. However, due to the limitation of single gravel size in the sand control layer, construction displacement and relatively small sand ratio, the effective period of sand control is still short after the measures are put into production. and serious loss of liquid production, etc., seriously restricting the efficient development of this type of reservoir
At the same time, deepwater sand control operations are facing severe challenges, and the weight of sand control operation costs in the production costs of a well is also increasing
[0003] At present, single-size gravel is used for filling sand control in polymer injection flooding wells in unconsolidated sandstone reservoirs. The main problems are as follows: (1) The viscosity of the fluid produced in the accumulation well increases and the sand-carrying capacity is enhanced. Sand production shortens the effective period of oil well sand control; (2) Due to the lack of pertinence in the sand control technical measures adopted, some oil wells have a low liquid volume after sand control, which cannot achieve the purpose of liquid extraction; The joint action of formation particles and other factors lead to clogging of formations and sand barriers, resulting in a sharp drop in fluid production in some oil wells, affecting the effect of polymer injection production

Embodiment 1

[0040] A filling-free self-adaptive sand control process method, comprising the following steps:

[0041] Step 1. Determine the structural size of the three-stage expansion sand control net of the self-adaptive expansion sand control string according to the analysis of reservoir physical properties, geological structure, and reservoir sand particle size, that is, the mesh size of the expansion sand control net in the sand retaining layer is the formation sand grain size The value is 3 to 4 times; in the stable sand layer, the mesh size of the expansion sand control net is 4 to 5 times the median value of the formation sand grain size; The value is 5 to 6 times.

[0042] Step 2, use pre-fluid to treat the wellbore, and use the well drilling standard to carry out the well drilling operation;

[0043] Step 3: wash the sand first, then lower the construction pipe string, use organic solvent to wash the heavy organic precipitate precipitated in the formation, use surfactant to red...

Embodiment 2

[0046] The step 3 in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 further includes:

[0047] 1) Select a sand producing well with good liquid supply capacity and permeability, and flush the sand to the position required by the design;

[0048] 2) Lower the construction string according to the design requirements;

[0049] 3. For sand production wells with crude oil viscosity > 1500mPa.s, water content < 80% or long-term polymer injection, the oil layer must be pretreated before sand control, including using organic solvents to wash the heavy organic precipitates precipitated in the formation, and using surfactants to reduce Oil-water interfacial tension, adding penetrant to enhance the permeability of the reservoir;

[0050] 4) For resin-type sand consolidation agents, the squeeze pressure should be lower than the fracture pressure of the formation, and if the oil layer is blocked, it must be unblocked first;

[0051] 5) Squeeze the resin-type sand-consolidating agent to make the low-mo...

[0057] The sand control process method includes:

[0058] Step 1: Determine the structural size of the three-stage expansion sand control net of the self-adaptive expansion sand control string according to the analysis of reservoir physical properties, geological structure, and reservoir sand particle size. times, this layer is the sand-retaining layer; in the middle layer, the sand-retaining transition layer, the mesh size of the expansion sand control net is 4 to 5 times the median value of the formation sand, which is the sand stabilization layer; the inner layer is the expansion control layer in the annulus of the screen casing. The mesh size of the sand mesh is 5 to 6 times the median value of the sand grain size of the formation, that is, the sand discharge layer.

[0059] In step 2, the wellbore is treated with prefluid, and the drilling operation is carried out according to the drilling specification.

Abstract

The present invention provides a non-filling self-adaptive sand control process, which comprises: step 1, optimizing process parameters according to data such as reservoir physical properties, geological structure, reservoir sand particle size analysis and numerical simulation; step 2, Treatment of wellbore opening; step 3, high-permeability resin sand consolidation, including flushing the sand to the position required by the design, running the construction string according to the design requirements, pre-treating the oil layer, and then selecting a high-permeability resin sand consolidation agent to squeeze the resin Molded sand-consolidating agent and displacement liquid, after the pressure naturally diffuses, the construction pipe string is slowly raised, and waits for Hou to solidify; step 4, lowering the self-adaptive sand control expansion sand control pipe string. The main advantages of this process technology are: no filling operation, simplified construction process, low cost and no risk. Use high-permeability resin to fix the quicksand, and the fluid will pass through naturally, so as to prevent sand but not oil. The self-adaptive graded expansion material allows sand particles smaller than 40 microns to pass through directly, and the sand control can be better if the sand is truly passed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of oil and gas fields and natural gas hydrate development, in particular to a filling-free self-adaptive sand control process method. Background technique [0002] Unconsolidated sandstone heavy oil reservoirs and natural gas hydrate reservoirs are limited by the physical and fluid properties of the reservoirs. Such reservoirs usually have problems such as low liquid volume, high water cut and severe sand production during the development process. At present, sand filter tubes are generally used in conjunction with conventional circulation filling, extrusion filling and other technical measures to treat oil wells. However, due to the limitation of single gravel size in the sand control layer, construction displacement and relatively small sand ratio, the effective period of sand control is still short after the measures are put into production. Problems such as serious loss of fluid production and other problems seve...
