Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of oil and gas drilling plugging, and particularly relates to a long open hole malignant loss well non-drilling measuring and plugging integrated construction method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Domestic oil and gas reservoirs are deeply buried, at least 3-4 sets of upper layers are drilled before drilling into the reservoir, and more than 10 sets of formations with different pressure gradients need to be drilled in local areas. Losses are prone to occur during drilling. After the loss occurs, it is difficult to determine the location of the loss layer, resulting in multiple ineffective plugging, and the plugging cost and plugging cycle are greatly increased.

[0003] After the loss layer is accurately determined, due to the limitations of the downhole power combination (including the one-way choke valve) and the measuring instrument, only millimeter-level plugging materials can be added while drilling. For malignant loss wells, only drilling with a smooth drill pipe can be used for special plugging. Tripping and changing the drilling assembly leads to an increase in the plugging cycle. Especially for loss wells with a depth of more than 3000 m, an average single trip of the smooth drill pipe combination for plugging needs more than 8 hours.

[0004] How to realize efficient management of malignant loss wells using the original drilling assembly under non-drilling conditions is a technical problem that needs to be solved in the field of drilling plugging. At present, drilling companies are trying to solve this technical problem, but their methods and technologies have limitations.

[0005] For example, the patent with the publication number CN111894560A discloses a drilling process while drilling loss plugging method, which includes the following steps: (1) obtaining basic data of drilling, location of loss layer in upper open hole section, and drilling construction parameters; (2) monitoring the annular pressure difference between the two ends of the downhole throttling part in real time during drilling, and monitoring the flow rate of drilling fluid at the inlet and outlet or the change of the amount of drilling fluid in the mud tank on the ground; (3) determining the location of the loss layer when loss occurs; (4) after determining the location of the loss layer, opening the multiple activation bypass valve and performing plugging operation; (5) after the plugging operation is completed, if there is no loss, closing the multiple activation bypass valve and resuming drilling; (6) after the plugging operation is completed, if there is loss, determining whether the loss layer is plugged, if not, adjusting the plugging slurry formula and performing plugging operation; if yes, determining the location of the loss layer according to (3) and performing plugging operation according to (4). The present application can determine the location of the loss layer while drilling, and realize plugging operation without drilling. This method mainly relies on monitoring the annular pressure difference between the two ends of the downhole throttling part, and realizes loss layer determination through data public calculation. However, this process needs to inject drilling fluid for pressure monitoring, which consumes a large amount of drilling fluid and is not suitable for lost circulation wells. This method does not mention the construction method of the bypass valve, but only uses the bypass valve, and does not explain how to optimize the plugging formula, which has no guiding significance for plugging.

[0006] For example, patent CN107313767A discloses a downhole loss measurement device and method, as well as a loss plugging system. The downhole monitoring unit can measure the temperature, pressure and annular flow at the location in real time, thereby clarifying the location of the loss. However, the large amount of measurement data can easily cause data distortion, and it does not explain how to achieve the technique of plugging the loss after a serious loss occurs.

[0007] For example, patent CN107035338A discloses a method for annular reverse injection and reverse compression of fine sand plugging slurry to plug leaks. This method is highly adaptable to different leakage channels, improving the matching ability of the plugging agent to the leakage channels and allowing it to be squeezed into different leakage channels. The fine sand in the plugging slurry easily accumulates in the fractures, forming a high-strength plugging wall after compression, making well leakage recurrence less likely. The annular reverse injection and reverse compression method reduces the range of movement of the plugging slurry due to the presence of the drilling tools in the well, forcing the slurry to enter the leaking layer more easily. The annular reverse injection and reverse compression method better suits the gravity sinking characteristics of high-density fine sand plugging slurry; the slurry can freely enter the leaking layer during the sinking process, and then, through shut-in compression, more plugging slurry is forced into the leaking layer. However, this technology uses a bare drill pipe assembly without downhole power assembly and measuring instruments, making it unsuitable for integrated drilling, testing, and plugging processes. The maximum particle size of the plugging slurry used is 2-3 mm, which is ineffective for centimeter-level fracture-type leaks in wells with severe leakage, and it does not meet the conditions for annular reverse compression.

[0008] For example, the paper "Research and Application of Precision Leakage Plugging Technology in Multi-Layer Systems of Changqing Oilfield [J]. Drilling and Production Technology, 2022, 45(06):134-138" involves a leakage layer identification technology, which uses a "multi-parameter" leakage detection tool based on well temperature and flow rate methods. After leakage occurs, the drill string is pulled out and the bare drill pipe is lowered to the casing foot, and the "multi-parameter" leakage detection tool is lowered in. The leakage layer is identified by analyzing the difference between the measurement data of the leakage layer and the normal layer. However, this technology can only use the bare drill pipe for leakage detection, and then perform special leakage plugging based on the leakage detection data. It cannot realize the integrated construction of leakage detection and plugging without drilling in long open-hole malignant leakage wells, and the leakage detection and plugging time is long.

[0009] For example, the paper “Anti-leakage and plugging technology for ultra-long horizontal section of Changqing shale oil horizontal well Hua H90-3 well [J]. Petroleum Drilling Technology, 2022, 50(02): 16-21” involves a leak-proof layer precise location technology and a drilling plugging technology. This technology uses the resistivity of the rotary steering system to accurately locate the leak-proof layer, but it is necessary to ensure that the rotary steering signal feedback is at least 35L / s and that it cannot achieve plugging of severe well leakage without drilling.

After the operation is completed, two closing balls 3 are put in again, the closing balls 3 are seated at the positions of the bypass hole 11, the opening ball 2 and the two closing balls 3 are extruded into the ball basket 8 through pressure transmission, the supporting spring 5 returns to normal, the bypass hole 11 is closed, and the normal drilling fluid circulation is restored.

[0049] The method for judging the opening of the bypass system 14 is as follows: 1) the pump pressure drops by 3-5 MPa; 2) the measuring instrument has no signal, and the drilling fluid does not pass through the measuring instrument and circulates from the bypass system 14.

[0050] During drilling, the bypass valve is part of the drill string, and the drilling fluid flows through the internal through hole and reaches the bottom hole under normal drilling. When plugging is needed, the opening ball 2 is first put in from the ground, the opening ball 2 reaches the ball seat 4 with the drilling fluid, and then reaches the through eccentric hole 12 with the drilling fluid, and the through eccentric hole 12 is sealed. Specifically, the ground pump is pressurized, the ball seat 4 moves downward to compress the spring, until the bypass eccentric hole 13 is connected with the bypass hole 11 in the middle of the upper joint 1, the bypass hole 11 is opened, as shown in FIG. 6, the plugging material enters the borehole leakage section with the drilling fluid to plug. Figure 4 The ball basket 8 is arranged in the lower joint 10, and the two are threadedly connected.

[0051] After the plugging is completed, the closing valve ball 3 is put from the ground, and the closing valve ball 3 reaches the ball seat 4 of the plugging bypass valve with the drilling fluid, and reaches the bypass eccentric hole 13 and seals with the drilling fluid, as shown. Figure 5 The specific operation is as follows: the ground pump is pressurized, when the pressure reaches the set value, the opening valve ball 2 is extruded and deformed into the through eccentric hole 12, and the opening valve ball 2 falls into the ball basket 8 after passing through the through eccentric hole 12, and the through eccentric hole 12 is opened. Then, under the action of the supporting spring 5, the ball seat 4 moves up to the initial position, the bypass hole 11 is closed, the closing valve ball 3 falls into the ball basket 8 with the drilling fluid through the through eccentric hole 12, and the plugging bypass valve completes the plugging program. The opening pressure of the bypass hole 11 is generally 0.7-1.4MPa, and the closing pressure of the bypass hole 11 (the breaking pressure of the opening valve ball 2) is generally 13-15MPa, and the opening and closing of the plugging bypass system 14 are completed by the opening and closing of the valve ball 2 and the two closing valve balls 3.

[0053] Leak layer identification system: the downhole electromagnetic wave resistivity tester 15 is put into the simulated wellbore, and the data is connected to the ground analysis system on the ground. The wellbore resistivity curve measured at 51m-100m is flat, and the resistivity is between 20.5-21.0Ω·m. Continue to measure, the resistivity curve drops to 0.79-0.95Ω·m at 50-51m, and continues to measure, the resistivity curve returns to 20.5-21.0Ω·m. The leak position is between 50-51m according to the resistivity curve analysis, which is almost consistent with the position of the artificial fracture.

[0054] Multi-stage plugging working fluid preparation: according to the leak rate, the plugging working fluid formula is optimized: water as the base, the following components are the percentage of water quality: 6% white clay + 5% (3-6mm) flexible material + 3% (7-9mm) flexible material + 5% (3-6mm) rigid material + 3% (7-9mm) rigid material + 5% (3-6mm) cementing material + 3% (7-9mm) cementing material, 3m³ of multi-stage plugging working fluid is prepared, and the time is 0.5h.

[0056] Annulus reverse squeezing process: ① Inject the prepared multi-stage leak sealing working fluid, use the original drilling fluid to displace all the leak sealing slurry out of the bypass hole 11 into the annulus, measure the reserved amount of leak sealing slurry entering the annulus 2.1 m³, and stop the pump after displacement.

Put in two valve closing balls 3, the valve closing ball 3 is located at the position of the bypass hole 11, after the pump is opened, the pump pressure rises to 14.5 MPa, the valve opening ball 2 and the valve closing ball 3 are squeezed into the ball basket 8 through pressure transmission, the pump pressure returns to 6 MPa, the instrument signal returns, it is judged that the bypass hole 11 is closed, the water eye in the drilling tool is unobstructed, the leak sealing operation is completed, and the inspection tool and the instrument are normal.

[0064] Multi-level matching plugging working fluid preparation: according to the measured leakage rate, the plugging working fluid formula is optimized: 5% clay + 5% (1-3mm) flexible material + 3% (3-6mm) flexible material + 5% (1-3mm) rigid material + 3% (3-6mm) rigid material + 5% (1-3mm) cementing material + 3% (7-9mm) cementing material. 30m3 of multi-level matching plugging working fluid is prepared, and the time is 2.5h.
