Problems solved by technology

[0004] During the gas hydrate jet fragmentation drilling process, if some hydrate deposits do not return along the wellbore annulus with the jet fluid, they will gradually accumulate at the bottom of the well, and then form bottom-hole sand sedimentation. A large amount of mud and sand deposits will affect the The jet fragmentation effect reduces the recovery rate of natural gas hydrate, and even causes major accidents such as jet drilling tools being stuck and buried, affecting production and even leading to production shutdown

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for calculating the amount of sand settling at the bottom of a well during the drilling and production of marine natural gas hydrate. The solid-state equivalent volume flow Q of the volume flow of natural gas returned from the empty wellhead hyd1 (t); step 3, calculate the solid-state equivalent volume flow rate Q of natural gas completely decomposed by the hydrate particles returned from the annular wellhead hyd2 (t); step 4, calculate the gas hydrate solid equivalent volume flow rate Q in the process of drilling and production hyd (t); step 5, calculate the volume rate Q of mud sand contained in the wellbore annulus s (t); Step 6, calculating the bottom-hole sand settlement rate Q ss (t); Step 7, calculating the bottom sand volume V ss (t), that is, the amount of sand at the bottom of the well at the specified mining time. The invention can conveniently calculate the bottom-hole sand sedimentation amount of the marine natural gas hydrate layer during the jet fragmentation process under the on-site construction conditions, so as to provide a basis for safe drilling and avoid safety accidents.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of marine natural gas hydrate drilling and production, and in particular relates to a calculation method for the amount of sand sedimentation at the bottom of a well during the drilling and production of marine natural gas hydrate. Background technique [0002] Natural gas hydrate is a clathrate crystal compound that exists stably in low temperature and high pressure environment, commonly known as "combustible ice". As a new type of clean energy, it is considered to be the most potential alternative energy in the 21st century. It has the remarkable characteristics of high gas storage density, high calorific value, and wide distribution range. It is mainly distributed in the low-temperature and high-pressure environment of land permafrost and the ocean around the continental margin. The marine gas hydrate resources are about more than 100 times. Aiming at the development of marine natural gas hydrates, as a...
