Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of drilling fluid performance testing technology in the oil and gas industry, specifically relating to a simulation device and test method for dynamic filtration loss and mud cake quality evaluation of drilling fluid. Background Technology

[0002] Drilling fluid filtration loss and mud cake quality are important indicators for judging the performance of drilling fluid. Drilling fluid with low filtration loss allows only a small amount of fluid to enter the formation pores and fractures, which reduces clay hydration and dispersion, and also decreases hydraulic wedge action, thus enhancing wellbore stability. To reduce drilling fluid filtration loss, the drilling fluid needs to form a thin and dense mud cake under pressure differential. Furthermore, the mud cake must have good toughness, adhere tightly to the wellbore, and not be easily broken by drilling fluid erosion. This is an important standard for measuring mud cake quality.

[0003] Existing drilling fluid loss meters measure filtration loss under static conditions, providing data that only reflects the static filtration properties of the drilling fluid. However, in actual drilling operations, the drilling fluid flows within the wellbore, resulting in dynamic filtration loss. Therefore, the filtration loss measured by conventional loss meters differs significantly from the actual downhole conditions, failing to effectively guide field operations. Furthermore, previously, the quality of the drilling fluid cake could only be evaluated based on the magnitude of drilling fluid filtration loss, but the magnitude of filtration loss is not directly related to cake quality, and small differences in filtration loss cannot determine cake quality. Currently, there is a lack of effective methods for evaluating the quality of drilling fluid-formed cakes; therefore, a testing instrument that can reflect both the dynamic filtration properties of the drilling fluid and the quality of the drilling fluid cake is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0020] Both the filter seat flange and the upper sealing flange are circular disc-shaped structures, with their outer diameters larger than the outer diameter of the transparent container body. The through holes for connection between the filter seat flange and the upper sealing flange are located on their outer edges.

The through hole for connecting the stirring mechanism is located at the center of the upper sealing flange. The pressure resistance of the transparent container body is no greater than 1.5 MPa.

The experimental operation using this invention is simple, safe, and reliable.

[0091] Example 10:

[0092] A simulation test method for evaluating dynamic filtration loss and mud cake quality of drilling fluid, using a simulation device for evaluating dynamic filtration loss and mud cake quality of drilling fluid, includes the following steps.

[0093] S1: Place the filter screen on the filter screen seat flange 4-3 in the high-pressure transparent container 4, install the filter paper on the filter screen, tighten the filter screen cover 4-7, and then put it into the transparent container body 4-1 of the high-pressure transparent container 4.

[0096] S4: Open the air source pressure divider mechanism and adjust the air source pressure divider in the air source pressure divider mechanism to the preset fixed air pressure;

[0097] S5: The stirring mechanism continues to stir. After heating to the preset temperature, the filtrate is collected through the measuring cylinder 16. After waiting for a preset time or until the filtrate stops flowing out, the volume of the filtrate entering the measuring cylinder 16 is recorded. This volume of filtrate is the dynamic filtration loss FL. 动 ;

[0098] S6: Close the gas source pressure distribution mechanism, stirring mechanism and heating mechanism, open the upper sealing flange 4-2, pour out the drilling fluid in the transparent container body 4-1, and then pour clean water or separately prepared drilling fluid into the transparent container body 4-1. Use the external tie rod 4-4 to fix the upper sealing flange 4-2 and the filter screen seat flange 4-3, set the stirring mechanism speed, and observe and test the change data of the mud cake thickness deposited on the filter paper by the laser sensor 6.

[0099] S7: Based on the data on the change in mud cake thickness obtained in S6, evaluate the quality of the dynamically formed mud cake using the drilling fluid, analyze the impact of changes in a certain component in the drilling fluid on filtration loss and mud cake quality, or analyze the impact of drilling fluid viscosity on the mud cake's erosion resistance; the specific analysis methods are as follows:

[0100] The method for analyzing the impact of changes in a certain component in drilling fluid on filtration loss and mud cake quality is as follows: When the content of a certain component in drilling fluid increases, the filtration loss of drilling fluid gradually increases, and the mud cake thickness difference also gradually increases. In this case, the mud cake has poor erosion resistance and poor mud cake quality.

[0101] The method for analyzing the effect of drilling fluid viscosity on the erosion resistance of mud cake is as follows: when the drilling fluid viscosity increases, the mud cake thickness difference gradually decreases, indicating that the greater the drilling fluid viscosity, the weaker the erosion ability of the mud cake; when the drilling fluid viscosity increases, the mud cake thickness difference gradually increases, indicating that the greater the drilling fluid viscosity, the stronger the erosion ability of the mud cake.

[0102] In practical application, firstly, place the filter screen on the filter screen holder flange 4-3 in the high-pressure transparent container 4, install filter paper on the filter screen, tighten the filter screen cover 4-7 to fix the filter paper, and then place it into the transparent container body 4-1 of the high-pressure transparent container 4. Pour the drilling fluid to be tested into the transparent container body 4-1, and then place the filter screen holder flange 4-3 on the container bracket 3. Next, install the stirring shaft 14 in the stirring mechanism and the laser sensor 6 in the sensing mechanism on the upper sealing flange 4-2.

Finally, fix the stirring motor 8 in the stirring mechanism on the fixed bracket 2. Adjust the height of the fixed bracket 2, and connect the stirring shaft 14 to the stirring motor 8 through the coupling 7; insert the heating rod of the heating mechanism into the transparent container body 4-1 from the top of the high-pressure transparent container 4, and connect the heating mechanism to the regulator 11; then, turn on the regulator, connect the power supply through the regulator, and adjust the speed and stirring time of the stirring shaft 14, and the heating temperature of the heating mechanism; then, turn on the gas source pressure divider mechanism and adjust the gas source pressure divider in the gas source pressure divider mechanism to the preset fixed gas pressure; the stirring mechanism continues to stir, and after heating to the preset temperature, place the measuring cylinder 16 directly below the filter nozzle 4-5 in the high-pressure transparent container 4, turn on the filter nozzle switch 4-6, and the measuring cylinder 16 collects the filtrate. After waiting for the preset time or until the filtrate no longer filters out, record the volume of filtrate entering the measuring cylinder 16. This volume of filtrate is the dynamic filtration loss FL. 动 Afterwards, shut down the gas source pressure distribution mechanism, stirring mechanism, and heating mechanism. Open the upper sealing flange 4-2, pour out the drilling fluid from the transparent container body 4-1, and then pour clean water or separately prepared drilling fluid into the transparent container body 4-1. Fix the upper sealing flange 4-2 to the filter screen seat flange 4-3 using the method in S2. Set the stirring mechanism speed, turn on the laser sensor 6, and observe and obtain the change data of the mud cake thickness deposited on the filter paper by testing through the laser sensor 6. Based on the obtained mud cake thickness change data, evaluate the quality of the dynamically formed mud cake using the drilling fluid, analyze the impact of changes in a certain component in the drilling fluid on filtration loss and mud cake quality, or analyze the impact of drilling fluid viscosity on mud cake erosion resistance. The specific analysis methods are as follows:

[0103] The method for analyzing the impact of changes in a certain component in drilling fluid on filtration loss and mud cake quality is as follows: When the content of a certain component in drilling fluid increases, the filtration loss of drilling fluid gradually increases, and the thickness of mud cake also gradually increases. In this case, the mud cake has poor erosion resistance and poor mud cake quality.

[0104] The method for analyzing the effect of drilling fluid viscosity on the erosion resistance of mud cake is as follows: when the drilling fluid viscosity increases, the mud cake thickness difference gradually decreases, indicating that the greater the drilling fluid viscosity, the weaker the erosion ability of the mud cake; when the drilling fluid viscosity increases, the mud cake thickness difference gradually increases, indicating that the greater the drilling fluid viscosity, the stronger the erosion ability of the mud cake.

[0105] The adoption of the technical solution of this invention allows for the simple and convenient acquisition of drilling fluid filtration evaluation data that is closer to the actual situation in the well.

[0106] Example 11:

[0107] An experiment was conducted using a drilling fluid dynamic filtration loss and mud cake quality evaluation simulation device to investigate the effect of KCl content in drilling fluid on its filtration loss and mud cake quality.

[0108] (1) Four groups of drilling fluid base slurries were prepared with the following formula: 2% bentonite + 0.05% NaOH + 0.2% xanthan gum + 0.2% filtration loss reducer + 2% emulsified asphalt + 5% limestone. 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% KCl were added respectively to test the effect of KCl addition on drilling fluid filtration loss and the quality of the mud cake formed.

[0109] (2) Insert Ф90mm filter paper into the filter screen seat flange 4-3, press the filter screen cover 4-7 tightly, and place it at the bottom of the transparent container body 4-1. Pour the drilling fluid to be tested into the transparent container body 4-1, and install and fix the high pressure transparent container 4.

[0110] (3) Turn on the power switch 11-1 in the regulator, slowly adjust the speed to 2000 r / min, and adjust the temperature to 50℃;

[0111] (4) Connect the gas source pressure divider 10 to the external gas source, adjust the input gas pressure to 0.69MPa through the gas source pressure divider 10, set the test time to 30min, and start collecting the filtrate;

[0112] (5) After 30 minutes, record the filtration loss as FL. 动 The filtration loss (FL) under static conditions was measured using an SD6B medium-pressure fluid loss meter at the same pressure of 0.69 MPa and a measurement time of 30 min, and was compared with the API (American Petroleum Institute) static filtration loss. 静 Compare them;

[0113] (6) Pour out the drilling fluid from the high-pressure transparent container 4, pour in clean water, reinstall the instrument, turn on the laser sensor 6, test the mud cake thickness, and record it as d1.

[0114] (7) Turn on the mixer, adjust the speed to 2000 r / min, and mix for 10 min. Measure the thickness of the mud cake again and record it as d2. Calculate the change in mud cake thickness as Δd, as shown in Table 1:

[0115] Table 1. Effects of KCl dosage on drilling fluid filtration loss and mud cake formation quality.

[0116] sample <![CDATA[FL 静 / mL]]> <![CDATA[FL 动 / mL]]> <![CDATA[d1 / mm]]> <![CDATA[d2 / mm]]> Δd / mm base slurry 6.6 11.4 1.05 0.95 0.10 Base slurry + 5% KCl 6.8 15.2 1.25 1.00 0.25 Base slurry + 10% KCl 8.2 20.5 1.90 1.30 0.60 Base slurry + 15% KCl 10.6 27.8 2.25 1.45 0.80

[0117] Table 1 shows that as the KCl content increases, the drilling fluid filtration loss gradually increases, and the mud cake thickness also gradually increases. For the same drilling fluid, the filtration loss under dynamic conditions is greater than that under static conditions. As the KCl content in the drilling fluid increases, Δd also gradually increases, indicating that the mud cake has poorer erosion resistance, is more porous, and has lower quality. Therefore, the data obtained through this invention is closer to the true value of drilling fluid filtration loss in the wellbore and allows for quantitative analysis of mud cake quality.

[0118] Example 12:

[0119] Experiment on the effect of drilling fluid viscosity on mud cake erosion resistance.

[0120] (1) Prepare the drilling fluid base slurry + 10% KCl as described in Example 11, and use the drilling fluid dynamic filtration loss and mud cake quality evaluation simulation device to press out mud cake and measure the mud cake thickness.

[0121] (2) Pour out the drilling fluid from the high-pressure transparent container 4, add clean water and prepared CMC aqueous solutions with concentrations of 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% respectively, and install the instrument;

[0122] (3) Repeat step (7) in Example 11, record the thickness of the mud cake, and compare it with the thickness of the base slurry mud cake. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0123] Table 2. Effect of drilling fluid viscosity on mud cake erosion resistance

[0124]

[0125] As shown in Table 2, the difference in mud cake thickness gradually decreases as the drilling fluid viscosity increases, indicating that the greater the drilling fluid viscosity, the weaker its ability to scour the mud cake.
