[0002] In the process of extended reach well drilling operation, accurately predicting the fluid dynamics and hydraulic characteristics of drilling fluid in the annular space of the wellbore under the yield Bingham mode is the theoretical basis for accurately evaluating the real-time equivalent circulating density (ECD for short), and is crucial for the determination and effective management of wellbore pressure. Theoretical and experimental studies have shown that the pressure loss and fluid velocity distribution in the annular space of the wellbore are significantly affected by the fluid rheological properties, wellbore eccentricity and annular geometry.

[0003] The research on the eccentric annulus flow of non-Newtonian fluid has evolved from analytical exploration to multi-method cooperation. Early research mainly focused on Newtonian fluid, using the bipolar coordinate system analytical method, but it is difficult to extend to non-Newtonian fluid due to its complexity. After 1980, with the simplified model becoming the mainstream method, some scholars proposed using the slit model to equivalent the eccentric annulus to a variable height slit, and solving the power-law fluid flow by integrating the motion equation; another part of the scholars proposed the concentric annulus superposition method, which discretizes the eccentric annulus into infinite concentric ring elements, and obtains the analytical solution of power-law and Bingham fluid by combining geometric equivalence and rheological equation integration.

[0004] With the improvement of computing power, since 2000, the research on the eccentric annulus flow of non-Newtonian fluid has gradually adopted the analysis method combining numerical simulation and experiment. However, the existing theoretical model and analysis method mostly focus on the analysis of the dimensionless shear stress, shear rate and volume flow of the eccentric annulus relative to the concentric annulus, and a systematic method for fluid dynamics analysis of Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus of the wellbore has not been established, especially the analysis method of the friction pressure drop gradient in the eccentric annulus.

Figure 2 As shown, the drill string model is eccentrically arranged in the wellbore model, and the annular space between the outer wall of the drill string model and the inner wall of the wellbore model is the eccentric annulus.

[0024] A polar coordinate system is constructed in the extended reach well model, with the center of the drill string model as the origin of the polar coordinate system. In the polar coordinate system, the positive direction of the polar axis points to the widest direction of the eccentric annulus, and the polar angle corresponding to the positive direction of the polar axis is is 0°, polar angle Increases in a counterclockwise direction.

[0025] The vertical distance between the center of the wellbore model and the center of the drill string model is the eccentricity , according to the eccentricity Determine the eccentricity of the drill string model for: ; Where, is the outer diameter of the drill string model; is the inner diameter of the wellbore model.

[0026] The polar coordinate equation of the wellbore model is: ; Where, is the polar diameter, used to represent the origin of the polar coordinate system The distance from the inner wall of the wellbore model.

[0027] The annular gap between the drill string model and the wellbore model for: ; Where, The annular gap is used to represent the distance between the outer wall of the drill string model and the inner wall of the wellbore model on the polar azimuth line. In this embodiment, the annular gap is Polar angle The change curve of Figure 3 shown.

[0028] Step 2: Set the drilling fluid in the extended reach well model as Bingham fluid, and determine the shear plug position of the Bingham fluid in the extended reach well model.

[0029] In this embodiment, the drilling fluid in the extended reach well model is set as Bingham fluid, and the fluid parameters of the Bingham fluid are set according to the fluid properties of the Bingham fluid.

[0030] The Bingham fluid flows in the eccentric annulus in the extended reach well model to form a plug flow region without shear. In this region, the flow velocity of the Bingham fluid is the same at all locations and the shear rate is 0. The upper boundary of the plug flow region is , the lower boundary is , width is , The plug flow region is located in the middle area of ​​the eccentric annulus. The width of the plug flow region is independent of the annular gap. The shear-free plug position of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus is determined according to the width of the plug flow region.

[0031] The calculation formula for the plug flow area width is: ; in, ; ; Where, is the width of the plug flow region, in cm; is the upper boundary of the plug flow region, specifically the distance between the top of the plug flow region and the origin The distance between the horizontal planes; is the lower boundary of the plug flow region, specifically the distance between the bottom of the plug flow region and the origin The distance between the horizontal planes; is the natural logarithm; is the dynamic shear force of Bingham fluid, unit is ; is the eccentric annular friction pressure drop gradient of Bingham fluid, in units of .

[0032] When the eccentricity of the drill string model When it is 0, that is, the center of the drill string model coincides with the center of the wellbore model, and the annular space between the outer wall of the drill string model and the inner wall of the wellbore model changes to a concentric annulus. The calculation formula for the shear-free plug characteristic parameter of the plug flow region in the concentric annulus is the same as the calculation formula for the shear-free plug characteristic parameter of the plug flow region in the eccentric annulus.

[0033] Step 3: Obtain the shear stress and velocity distribution of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus.

[0034] In this embodiment, the flow domain of the Bingham fluid at any polar angle in the eccentric annulus is divided into three sub-regions, namely the inner sub-region, the plug flow sub-region and the outer sub-region. The flow domain range of the inner sub-region is , the drainage area of ​​the plug flow sub-basin is , the drainage area of ​​the outer subdomain is ,in, is the radial coordinate of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus, which is used to indicate the radial position of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus.

[0035] In the inner subdomain, the flow rate of the Bingham fluid is With the polar diameter The outer diameter of the drill string model increases with the increase of The flow rate of Bingham fluid is 0; in the plug flow subdomain, the flow velocity of the Bingham fluid is constant, , is the maximum flow velocity of the Bingham fluid; in the outer subdomain, the flow velocity of the Bingham fluid decreases with the increase of the polar radius, and the flow velocity of the Bingham fluid at the polar radius is 0. The shear stress and the flow velocity of the Bingham fluid in the inner subdomain, the plug flow subdomain and the outer subdomain are different, that is, the shear rate and the shear stress of the Bingham fluid in the inner subdomain, the plug flow subdomain and the outer subdomain present different characteristics.

[0036] The momentum conservation equation in the inner subdomain is:

[0037] ; ; In the formula, is the shear stress of the Bingham fluid.

[0038] The rheological model of the Bingham fluid in the inner subdomain is: ; In the formula, is the plastic viscosity of the Bingham fluid, and the unit is .

[0039] The shear rate equation of the Bingham fluid in the inner subdomain is obtained by combining the momentum conservation equation in the inner subdomain with the rheological model of the Bingham fluid: ; The flow velocity equation of the Bingham fluid in the inner subdomain is obtained by integrating the boundary conditions of the inner subdomain: .

[0040] In the plug flow subdomain, the plug flow subdomain lower boundary is , the plug flow subdomain upper boundary is , that is, in the plug flow subdomain, , , , , so as to determine the shear rate equation of the Bingham fluid in the plug flow subdomain: ; The momentum conservation equation in the outer subdomain is: .

[0041] The rheological model of the Bingham fluid in the outer subdomain is: . ​

[0042] The momentum conservation equation in the outer subdomain is combined with the Bingham fluid rheological model to obtain the shear rate equation of the Bingham fluid in the outer subdomain as follows: .

[0043] The boundary conditions of the outer subdomain are combined to separate variables and integrate to obtain the flow velocity equation of the Bingham fluid in the outer subdomain as follows: .

[0044] According to the flow velocity equations of the Bingham fluid in the inner subdomain, the plug flow subdomain and the outer subdomain, the velocity distribution of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus is determined.

[0045] Step 4, determining the dimensionless volume flow rate of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus.

[0046] In step 4, based on the symmetry of the eccentric annulus, the eccentric annulus frictional pressure drop gradient of the Bingham fluid when the Bingham fluid flows in the eccentric annulus is determined by imitating the dimensionless volume flow rate expression of the Bingham fluid when the Bingham fluid flows in the concentric annulus as follows: ; wherein, ; ; In the formula, is the eccentric annulus frictional pressure drop gradient of the Bingham fluid; is the dimensionless displacement of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus; is the volume flow rate of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus.

[0047] Since the integral interval of the dimensionless volume flow rate expression of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus is [0, ], the functions and in the integral function depend on the polar angle , contain multiple nonlinear terms and power function terms, and it is difficult to obtain a rigorous analytical solution, so the numerical integral method is used to perform integral calculation on the dimensionless volume flow rate of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus.

[0048] The numerical integral method is used to perform integral calculation on the dimensionless displacement of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus to obtain: .

[0049] The expression of the dimensionless displacement of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus is simplified by setting an intermediate variable, and the dimensionless displacement expression of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus is simplified as follows: ; wherein, ; In the formula, is an intermediate quantity.

[0050] That is, the intermediate quantity is decomposed , , and are four parts in total.

[0051] The composite Simpson rule is used for numerical integration. According to a preset angle, the number of segments is set, the integral interval is divided into a plurality of sub-intervals, and then according to the Simpson formula, the calculation formula of the intermediate quantity is obtained as follows: ; Among them, ; In the formula, is a sub-interval number, is a total number of sub-intervals; is a weight coefficient of the th sub-interval; is an integrand function, and the independent variable of the integrand function is the polar angle , that is, the integrand function in and are functions of the polar angle , that is, according to the polar angle , the and in the integrand function are determined.

[0052] In this embodiment, the composite Simpson rule is used for numerical integration. According to a preset angle, the number of segments is set to 3, the integral interval is divided into 6 equal-length sub-intervals, and an engineering-acceptable calculation result can be obtained. According to the Simpson formula, the calculation formula of the intermediate quantity is obtained as follows: ; In the formula, , , , , , and are weight coefficients, and the values of the weight coefficients of each sub-interval are set according to the polar angle . When , the weight coefficient takes a value of 1, and when ​the weight coefficient takes the value 4 when the weight coefficient takes the value 2 when the weight coefficient takes the value 4 when the weight coefficient takes the value 2 when the weight coefficient takes the value when the weight coefficient takes the value .

[0053] According to the integral function value at each angle and the weighted sum according to the weight coefficient, multiply the coefficient , and substitute into the simplified expression of the dimensionless displacement of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus, to calculate the dimensionless displacement of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus .

[0054] Step 5, based on the frictional pressure drop gradient of the Bingham fluid in the concentric annulus in the extended reach well model, using numerical simulation software, calculate the frictional pressure drop gradient ratio of the Bingham fluid, determine the frictional pressure drop gradient of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus, and complete the fluid dynamics analysis of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus of the wellbore.

[0055] Since the frictional pressure drop gradient of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus is a function of the dimensionless displacement , and the width of the plug flow region in the dimensionless displacement and the upper boundary depend on the eccentric annulus frictional pressure drop gradient of the Bingham fluid, that is, the frictional pressure drop gradient expression of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus and the dimensionless displacement expression can form a closed equation set, but it is difficult to determine the explicit analytical expression of the Bingham fluid frictional pressure drop gradient. Therefore, in this embodiment, based on the frictional pressure drop gradient ratio of the Bingham fluid in the concentric annulus in the extended reach well model, the expression of the frictional pressure drop gradient of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus is determined.

[0056] In the extended reach well model, when the eccentricity of the drill string model is 0, at this time the center of the drill string model coincides with the center of the wellbore model, the annular space between the outer wall of the drill string model and the inner wall of the wellbore model changes to a concentric annulus, and when the Bingham fluid flows in the concentric annulus, the concentric annulus frictional pressure drop gradient expression of the Bingham fluid is: ; In the formula, is the concentric annular friction pressure drop gradient of Bingham fluid; is the dynamic shear force of the Bingham fluid; is the average annular velocity in m / s.

[0057] Combined with the dimensionless displacement of Bingham fluid in the concentric annulus, the simplified expression of the friction pressure drop gradient in the concentric annulus is: ; in, ; ; ; Where, is the dimensionless displacement of the Bingham fluid in the concentric annulus; is the radial coordinate of the inner boundary of the plug flow region in the concentric annulus; is the radial coordinate of the right boundary of the plug flow region in the concentric annulus.

[0058] Calculate the ratio of the eccentric annular friction pressure drop gradient to the concentric annular friction pressure drop gradient of the Bingham fluid at the same displacement, and determine the Bingham fluid friction pressure drop gradient ratio as: ; Where, is the friction pressure drop gradient ratio of the Bingham fluid.

[0059] Therefore, the calculation problem of the friction pressure drop gradient of the eccentric annulus of the Bingham fluid is transformed into solving the ratio of the friction pressure drop gradient of the eccentric annulus of the Bingham fluid to the friction pressure drop gradient of the concentric annulus under the same displacement. Combining the simplified expression of the dimensionless displacement of the Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus and the simplified expression of the friction pressure drop gradient of the concentric annulus, we obtain: .

[0060] Substitute the dimensionless displacement of Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus into The calculation formula of Bingham fluid friction pressure drop gradient ratio is obtained The implicit function of is: .

[0061] Due to the intermediate Width of the plug flow region and upper boundary are all variables, and the width of the plug flow region is and upper boundary All are eccentric annulus friction pressure drop gradient The width of the plug flow region is obtained as a function of and upper boundary On the friction pressure drop gradient ratio of Bingham fluid The expression is: ; .

[0062] The implicit function of the Bingham fluid friction pressure drop gradient ratio is iteratively solved, the Bingham fluid eccentric annulus friction pressure drop gradient ratio calculation equation is constructed, and the following is obtained: ; In the formula, is the calculation function of the eccentric annulus friction pressure drop gradient ratio.
