Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas well drilling, and in particular relates to an experimental device and a method for simulating a well-killing process of leakage co-existence in fracture-cavity formations. Background Art

[0002] my country's deep fracture-cavity carbonate oil and gas resources are abundant and have huge oil and gas resource potential. They have become an important target for China's oil and gas exploration and development and oil and gas reserve and production increase. Compared with permeable reservoirs, fracture-cavity carbonate reservoirs have good connectivity, strong pressure sensitivity, and a narrow drilling fluid density window. During the drilling process, they are prone to complex conditions such as overflow, leakage, and even coexistence of overflow and leakage. The well control risk is high, which will cause immeasurable losses to personnel safety, reservoirs, and production efficiency during the drilling operation. The current well pressure technology theory used to solve the coexistence of overflow and leakage in fracture-cavity formations is basically the actual field experience obtained by summarizing temporary technical measures after overflow and leakage occur in specific fracture-cavity reservoir blocks. It has great limitations when used in other blocks.

[0003] During the well killing process with leakage, the fluid flow state between the fracture-cavity and the wellbore affects each other. However, there are few experimental methods for well killing technology when leakage occurs in fracture-cavity formations in China. Most experimental equipment studies the flow pressure in the wellbore or the evolution characteristics of the displacement interface in the fracture when gravity displacement occurs. The following is the technical background information related to the present invention:

[0004] The patent "A Wellbore Fracture Simulation Device" (CN102305045A) simulates the drilling loss process by connecting a fracture pipe to the simulated wellbore, without considering the specific conditions in the formation;

[0005] The patent "An experimental device and method for simulating gas invasion into a wellbore of a fracture-cavity reservoir" (CN114737962A) uses several pipes to connect a simulated wellbore and a simulated formation to evaluate the gas flow characteristics during gas invasion of fracture-cavity formations, but it cannot simulate the complex flow in the wellbore during formation pressure control and well pressure suppression with leakage.

[0006] The patent "An experimental method for simulating well killing during overflow" (CN104835405A) uses the invented device to simulate the complex flow during the drilling process, and simulates the three well killing processes of the driller method, engineer method or reverse circulation method under overflow conditions. However, it cannot simulate the complex well killing conditions of overflow coexisting underground, and does not involve data collection and processing.

[0007] Therefore, the current research lacks consideration of the well-killing process after the occurrence of leakage and the control of formation pressure. At the same time, the indoor experimental equipment and methods lack relatively comprehensive consideration of the wellbore and fracture-cavity formation characteristics for the well-killing process after the leakage. Therefore, an experimental device and method for simulating the well-killing process of leakage in fracture-cavity formations is established to study the pressure change characteristics of the wellbore and formation during the well-killing process of leakage in fracture-cavity formations, which is of great significance for the drilling and completion research of fracture-cavity formation oil and gas reservoirs.
