Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of oil and gas reservoir development, and more specifically, relates to a formation collapse experimental device and a simulation method. Background Art

[0002] Natural gas hydrate is a new type of unconventional resource, a white crystalline compound formed by hydrocarbon gases such as methane and water under high pressure and low temperature conditions, also known as "combustible ice". Usually, the decomposition of one unit volume of natural gas hydrate can produce 164-180 units of methane gas. Natural gas hydrate resources are mainly distributed in deep waters with a depth of 300-3000 meters on coastal continental shelves such as the Arctic tundra, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean. It is preliminarily estimated that its resource volume is nearly 100 times that of conventional oil and gas, of which about 95% is stored in deep sea areas.

[0003] In the patent "A method for exploiting muddy silt-type natural gas hydrates based on foam mortar injection technology (CN201810054044.0)", the stability of the reservoir near the wellbore is improved by forming foam mortar jet jet piles around the well, and its effectiveness is focused on the wellbore stability of a single well.

[0004] In the patent "Method for Exploiting Natural Gas Hydrates (CN201919198515.6)", three fluids are introduced in sequence through the injection and production well group to achieve the replacement of natural gas in the reservoir, and at the same time fill the deficit caused by the exploitation of natural gas in real time.

[0005] In the invention patent "Deepwater Natural Gas Hydrate Extraction System and Extraction Method" (CN201910606033.3), with the vertical well as the core, radial wells are drilled in the upper and lower parts of the reservoir respectively, and two sets of circuits of oil pipes and casing are used to realize the displacement and replacement circulation extraction of the radial wells in the upper and lower parts of the reservoir in the same vertical well. At the same time, the stability of the well wall is achieved by relying on the concrete cementing technology.

[0006] In the invention patent "A system and method for exploiting natural gas hydrates in permafrost with a horizontal branch well network" (CN201910035958.7), through the coordinated production of well groups, exploitation and backfilling are carried out in sequence according to predetermined procedures to realize the utilization of the reservoir while ensuring the stability of the reservoir.

[0007] In the patent "A method for drilling and producing non-diagenetic natural gas hydrates in the sea" (CN201910293688.X), after drilling a horizontal well in the reservoir, foamed cement is sprayed laterally to form a honeycomb structure to provide support for the horizontal well and the formation, thereby achieving well wall stability.

[0008] In the invention patent "Device and working method for drilling hydrate micro-wellbores and quickly completing wells" (CN201910274015.X), a larger reservoir contact area is obtained by drilling a small wellbore laterally in a vertical well, and at the same time, a sand filter is carried into the small wellbore to achieve sand prevention, effectively improving the development effect.

[0009] At present, the contents of various patents on development methods and devices are mainly concentrated on specific development methods, which are still specific process forms of mainstream ideas such as pressure reduction, heating, replacement, and solid crushing. Among them, there is only one way to deal with the formation deficit caused by mining, which is "backfilling", and its operability still needs to be demonstrated. In non-diagenetic reservoirs or reservoirs with insufficient rock frame strength, the method of mining first and then backfilling cannot effectively reduce the risk of reservoir collapse and is not feasible. Regardless of the marine or frozen soil environment, geological phenomena such as landslides caused by formation collapse will have serious consequences.

[0010] Therefore, a formation collapse experimental device and a simulation method are needed to reduce the collapse risk of the reservoir and realize the effective utilization of the reservoir. Summary of the invention

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0045] An embodiment of the present invention provides a stratum collapse experimental device, comprising:

[0046] A container, wherein the side wall of the container is transparent and a drain port is provided on the side wall; a formation model, wherein the formation model is arranged in the container and comprises, from bottom to top, an artificial core layer, a natural gas hydrate reservoir layer and a water layer; a wellbore, wherein the wellbore is vertically arranged in the container and the lower end of the wellbore is located above the artificial core layer; a water jet device, wherein the water jet device comprises a sleeve, a high-pressure hose and a water jet drill bit, wherein the sleeve is rotatably arranged in the wellbore, the high-pressure hose is arranged in the sleeve, the water jet drill bit is connected to the bottom end of the high-pressure hose, the bottom end of the sleeve extends beyond the wellbore and is inclined radially outward, so that the axial direction of the bottom end of the sleeve forms an angle with the vertical direction, and the drilling direction of the water jet drill bit is consistent with the axial direction.

The bottom end of the sleeve extends outside the wellbore and is radially inclined outward so that the bottom end of the sleeve forms an angle with the vertical direction. The water jet drill bit controls the initial orientation and direction of the drill bit through the bottom end of the sleeve, thereby achieving consistency between the water jet waterline direction, the drill bit positive direction and the drill bit drilling direction. The water jet drill bit drills forward and carries the high-pressure hose forward at the same time, forming a drilled area along the way.

[0064] Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2 multiple times along the circumferential direction of the wellbore until multiple artificial skeletons are formed; specifically, repeat steps 1 and 2 multiple times until all artificial skeletons are drilled, and wait for the concrete to solidify.

[0065] Step 4: Simulate natural gas hydrate exploitation on the natural gas hydrate reservoirs inside the multiple artificial skeletons to form goaf areas in the natural gas hydrate reservoirs.

[0066] Specifically, a water jet drill is used to perform hydraulic jetting in the natural gas hydrate reservoir to break up the natural gas hydrate reservoir, and the mining operation is cyclically repeated in sequence until a goaf is formed.

[0069] Specifically, the valve of the discharge port is opened to discharge the crushed sand and liquid, and the hydraulic jet cycle operation is performed in sequence until a goaf is formed.

[0070] As a preferred solution, it also includes recording the scope of the goaf.

[0071] Step 5: Repeat step 4 until collapse or water seepage occurs.

[0072] Specifically, the gas hydrate reservoir is mined until reservoir collapse or massive infiltration of upper water occurs, indicating that the ultimate safe goaf area has been reached.

[0073] As a preferred solution, in step 5, step 4 is repeated, and the mined-out area is backfilled through the wellbore before collapse or water seepage occurs.

[0074] Specifically, when the reservoir has not collapsed, the backfilling of the goaf can be simulated by injecting concrete from the wellbore to backfill until the goaf is filled.
