Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of fluid dynamics and control technology in a drilling process, and in particular relates to an inversion correction method for ultra-deep well drilling wellbore pressure. Background Art

[0002] In deep and ultra-deep drilling operations, accurate calculation of wellbore pressure is crucial for ensuring safety and improving operational efficiency. Existing technologies involve a variety of wellbore pressure calculation methods and real-time correction models, but these methods generally have limitations and struggle to provide accurate pressure descriptions under complex underground conditions.

[0003] Regarding fluid rheological properties, patent CN202310967351.9 proposes a temperature-pressure coupled wellbore pressure calculation method. This method aims to establish a calculation model for the rheological parameters of the fluid under different temperature and pressure conditions, thereby obtaining a calculation model for the wellbore's circulatory friction. However, this technology primarily focuses on the properties of fluids at low shear rates and cannot guarantee its accuracy for rheological behavior under high shear rate conditions. Therefore, in practical applications, this may lead to deviations in the pressure calculation results.

[0004] Regarding real-time correction, patent CN201510567464.5 has developed a method that utilizes basic wellbore pressure parameters and managed pressure drilling boundary conditions to adjust pressure parameters such as bottomhole pressure, annular pressure loss, and wellhead backpressure in real time. While this method effectively corrects for pressure loss within the annular space, it does not address pressure loss within the drill pipe. Therefore, its correction effect remains insufficient when dealing with complex wellbore systems.

[0005] In addition, the method proposed in the literature for calculating the transient fluctuation pressure in the wellbore annulus (Zhao Yanlong, 2022) uses the characteristic line method for numerical solution. Although multiple influencing factors are considered, the model still has room for improvement in parameter selection and the accuracy of the description of daytime operating conditions, which may lead to a large error between the predicted results and the actual wellbore pressure. Similarly, Xia Shunlei (2022) introduced an unscented Kalman filter algorithm to achieve real-time correction of wellbore friction resistance. However, this model is limited to the correction of annular friction resistance and fails to fully consider the friction resistance factors within the drill pipe. It may not accurately reveal the pressure distribution of the entire wellbore system.

[0006] In summary, while existing technologies offer numerous methods for calculating and correcting wellbore pressure, these approaches still have numerous limitations in the complex geological conditions of deep and ultra-deep formations. To achieve more accurate description and control of wellbore pressure, an improved mechanism and model is urgently needed that comprehensively considers various influencing factors and can simultaneously correct pressure in different parts of the wellbore. This will provide more reliable data support for future safe and efficient drilling. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background technology, the present invention aims to provide an ultra-deep wellbore pressure inversion correction method, introduce the fluid flow friction correction factor in the drill pipe, and simultaneously correct the fluid flow friction correction factor in the drill pipe and the annulus through the UKF inversion algorithm to improve the wellbore pressure prediction accuracy.

[0010] S1: Establishing a wellbore pressure calculation model. First, a steady-state calculation model for wellbore pressure is established based on the mass and momentum conservation equations of the drilling fluid in the drill pipe and annulus. The influence of drilling fluid density changes with temperature and pressure is fully considered, and a friction pressure drop gradient model is constructed. The control equations are discretely solved using the finite difference method. Under known boundary conditions, pressure and velocity are iteratively calculated from the bottomhole to the wellhead (drill pipe) and from the wellhead to the bottomhole (annulus) to obtain the drilling fluid physical properties and pressure distribution at each node.

[0011] S2: Inversion correction modeling. Based on the output of step S1, the error between the model and the actual measurement is considered, and a friction correction factor is further introduced to construct an inversion correction model for wellbore pressure. The friction correction factors in the drill pipe and annulus are used as state variables, and the drill pipe wellhead pressure is used as the observation variable to construct a nonlinear state space model. The friction correction factor is dynamically estimated using the unscented Kalman filter algorithm to achieve online adaptive correction of the wellbore pressure model.

The bottom of the well and the wellhead are marked as Nx and 1 respectively. △z(i) represents the vertical distance between adjacent storage nodes, m.

[0080] 1. Establish a wellbore pressure calculation model

[0081] (1) Based on the conservation equations of mass and momentum of drilling fluid in the drill pipe and annulus, a steady-state calculation model for wellbore pressure is established.

[0082] The mass conservation equation of drilling fluid in the drill pipe is:

[0103] (2) Model solution

[0104] The wellbore with a measured depth of L is divided evenly, such as Figure 1 , the step size is △h, and it is divided into N grid units. There are Nx (Nx = N + 1) storage nodes (storing parameters such as pressure, temperature, drilling fluid flow rate, drilling fluid density, wellbore trajectory, wellbore structure, etc.). The bottom of the well and the wellhead are marked as Nx and 1 respectively. △z(i) represents the vertical distance between adjacent storage nodes, m.

[0105] The annular outlet pressure is a known boundary, so the annular pressure is calculated from the wellhead to the bottomhole; the drill pipe pressure is calculated from the bottomhole to the wellhead. That is, in the annular, the data of the i-1th storage node is used to solve the data of the i-th storage node, while in the drill pipe, the data of the i+1th storage node is used to solve the data of the i-th storage node.

[0131] Combined with the UKF algorithm, the friction correction factors in the annulus and drill pipe are used as state values, and the annulus outlet pressure is used as the observation value. The state variable (X) and observation variable (Z) in the inversion model can be expressed as follows:

[0138] The calculation is based on data from an actual well, selecting the injection pressure and displacement data from the 4884-5547m section during the third drilling process of the well. The main calculation parameters are as follows:

[0139]

[0140] The initial values of the friction correction factors in the annulus and drill pipe are both 1. The three relevant parameters in the unscented Kalman filter are set to: α = 0.75, β = 2, κ = 0. The standard deviations of the system noise and observation noise are set to 0.05 and 0.0002 respectively. The calculation results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 shown.

[0141] The initial values of the friction correction factors in the annulus and drill pipe are both 1. The three relevant parameters in the unscented Kalman filter are set to: α = 0.75, β = 2, κ = 0. The standard deviations of the system noise and observation noise are set to 0.05 and 0.0002 respectively. The calculation results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 3shown.
