Problems solved by technology

[0007] When drilling into formations such as fractured zones, faults, and fractures, due to differences in basic assumptions and theories, it is impossible to consider the effects of factors such as the geometric occurrence of the formation on the stability of the wellbore wall and the density of the drilling fluid
Therefore, the above method is not fully applicable to the calculation of drilling fluid density in the drilling engineering of fractured zone, fault and fractured formation

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for calculating the safe drilling density of a fractured formation, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, processing an image, and recognizing an underground fracture; s2, a three-dimensional geologic model is established through underground fracture parameters, and a well drilling well model is established according to the size and length of a well; s3, assigning model material parameters, boundary conditions and upper and lower bounds of initial drilling fluid density, and then calculating precision; s4, solving the three-dimensional geologic model by using 3DEC discrete element software, and judging the stability of the well wall; s5, determining the upper and lower bounds of the drilling fluid density by using a bisection method; s6, repeatedly executing the steps S4-S5; and S7, after a set precision condition is reached, storing and outputting the safe drilling fluid density. According to the method, on the basis of the imaging logging diagram, the three-dimensional well model is established, the discrete element theory is used, the safe drilling fluid density is calculated, calculation of the drilling fluid density in a fracture zone, a fault and a fractured stratum can be more accurate, and drilling engineering drilling of the fractured stratum can be better guided.

Description

A method for calculating safe drilling density in fractured formations technical field The present invention relates to drilling practice in petroleum and natural gas engineering, geothermal drilling, the field of deep scientific exploration, especially The invention relates to a method for calculating safe drilling density in fractured strata. Background technique [0002] With the development of oil and gas engineering, the drilling depth is getting deeper and deeper. The formation encountered by drilling is often not complete. It is a solid rock, but a rock mass containing structural planes. This phenomenon is particularly prominent when drilling into broken zones, faults and fractures. Drilling a wellbore requires the support of drilling fluid pressure, otherwise problems such as borehole necking and collapse will occur. resulting in stuck drills, buried Drill pipe and other problems, in severe cases, the entire wellbore will be scrapped. Therefore, the requir...
