Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas drilling and completion technology, specifically to an apparatus and method for evaluating the displacement efficiency of cementing drilling fluid and the cleaning efficiency of flushing fluid. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, unconventional oil and gas resource exploration and development both domestically and internationally primarily utilizes long horizontal well technology. However, cementing operations in long horizontal wells present challenges such as difficulty in ensuring casing centering, low displacement efficiency of oil-based mud, and difficulty in cleaning oil-based mud cake, posing serious challenges to cementing quality. Therefore, accurately evaluating the displacement efficiency of drilling fluid and the cleaning efficiency of cleaning fluid under simulated casing eccentricity conditions is one of the key measures to improve the cementing quality of extended reach wells, horizontal wells, and ultra-long horizontal wells.
[0003] A patent search of existing "equipment for evaluating drilling fluid displacement efficiency and flushing fluid cleaning efficiency" revealed that the invention patent "A cementing flushing efficiency evaluation device and method" (CN 104863533B) is designed based on the principle of equal Reynolds number and can be used to evaluate the flushing efficiency of the flushing fluid on the first and second interfaces, but it cannot evaluate the flushing efficiency when the casing is eccentric; the utility model patent "Casing eccentricity adjustment mechanism" (CN 208918478 U) is applicable to the casing eccentricity adjustment mechanism of the cement slurry weight loss and gas channeling test device, which can realize continuous adjustment of casing eccentricity and solve the sealing problem of the device under casing eccentricity conditions, but it is not applicable to evaluating the flushing fluid cleaning efficiency; the utility model patent "A cementing flushing fluid test device" (CN 204627603 U) establishes a simulated wellbore and designs a support structure that can place the core or casing, but the support simply centers the core or casing and cannot adjust its eccentricity. The invention described above plays a good role in evaluating the mud cake removal efficiency under casing centering conditions. However, it cannot effectively simulate the cleaning efficiency of flushing fluid and observe the displacement efficiency of cement slurry under conditions of highly deviated or horizontal wells. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a device and method for evaluating the displacement efficiency of cementing drilling fluid and the cleaning efficiency of flushing fluid.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: constructing a device for evaluating the displacement efficiency of cementing drilling fluid and the cleaning efficiency of flushing fluid, including: annular fluid monitoring system, circulation route, simulated wellbore, eccentricity adjustment tool, and well inclination angle adjustment device;

The cylinder for fixing the core or casing is connected by a screw inserted into a hollow short screw on the eccentricity positioner. The eccentricity adjusting tools are distributed at both ends of the eccentricity adjuster support and are connected by four connecting columns at equal intervals.
[0013] According to the above technical solution, the circulation route includes a circulation pump, a flow meter, a pressure gauge, a hose, a connecting joint, a gate valve, a No. 1 storage tank, and a No. 2 storage tank. The circulation pump can provide a certain pressure to the simulated wellbore, making the fluid flow in the pipeline laminar, plug, or turbulent state. The pressure gauge is used to measure the pressure of the fluid entering the simulated wellbore, and the flow meter is used to measure the flow rate of the fluid entering the simulated wellbore. Both the No. 1 and No. 2 storage tanks have temperature control systems that can heat the wellbore working fluids such as drilling fluid, pre-fluid, and cement slurry stored in the tank.
