Abstract
Description
Background Art
[0002] At present, most oilfields are facing a dual dilemma: on the one hand, the number of effective new wells that can continuously collect oil and gas is decreasing, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to significantly increase production; on the other hand, a large number of low-production old wells are continuously emerging, and the efficiency of old wells is getting lower and lower. Moreover, due to the characteristics of carbonate reservoirs with many fracture-cavity bodies, discontinuous fracture-cavity bodies or inconsistent orientations, it is impossible to achieve multiple geological targets through a single wellbore at the same time. In the later stage of reservoir development, it is necessary to sidetrack old wellbores to develop the remaining oil. How to effectively deploy the wellbores in the oil and gas area to be exploited is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Among them, wellbore trajectory design is the most critical link, which is of great significance for improving the scientificity and efficiency of drilling operations.
[0003] The potential tapping and production increase of old oil and gas areas are very crucial. Sun Ning, an expert from the Consulting Center of China National Petroleum Corporation, pointed out in the literature "Sidetracked horizontal wells should become an important technical policy for improving the production of low-production wells in old oil and gas areas": Sidetracked horizontal wells in old wells have technical advantages such as lower cost per ton of oil and greater increase in single-well production, and should become an important technical measure for improving the production of low-production wells in old areas.
[0004] In addition, due to the characteristics of carbonate reservoirs with many fracture-cavity bodies, discontinuous fracture-cavity bodies or inconsistent orientations, it is impossible to achieve multiple geological targets through a single wellbore at the same time. In the later stage of reservoir development, it is necessary to sidetrack old wellbores to develop the remaining oil. At present, with the progress of reservoir fine description technology, geological experts have a clearer understanding of the reservoir area, which also provides a good technical foundation for the early deployment of sidetracked wells.
[0005] For the above reasons, considering the difficulty of later sidetracking and the comprehensive drilling cost, it is necessary to conduct early deployment and feasibility demonstration of these wells for sidetracking, so as to significantly reduce the difficulty of later sidetracking and the drilling cost per well. And wellbore trajectory design is the most critical link among them. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a multi-target trajectory optimization design method and system considering the later sidetracking requirements, which is of great significance and promotion value for improving the scientificity and efficiency of drilling operations.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, a method for determining a multi-target drilling wellbore trajectory according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0042] S1. Obtain a distribution map of oil and gas reservoirs in the oil and gas area to be exploited, and determine the main controlled oil and gas area and the remaining oil and gas area of the oil and gas area to be exploited according to the distribution map;
[0043] Among them, the main controlled oil and gas area refers to: the oil and gas area mainly exploited by this well determined by reservoir geologists according to the results of fine reservoir description;
[0044] Among them, the remaining oil and gas area refers to: the area for later development determined by reservoir geologists according to the results of fine reservoir description;
[0045] Among them, the process of determining the main oil and gas area and the remaining oil and gas area of the oil and gas area to be exploited according to the distribution map is as follows:
[0046] Oilfield reservoir geologists use various means such as geological methods, reservoir engineering, well testing and numerical simulation methods, and laboratory experiment techniques, and utilize various technologies such as the technology for identifying buried hill complex lithology by making full use of reservoir properties, the fine description of complex structures based on development seismic technology, the fine prediction technology of reservoirs by combining well and seismic data, the technology for characterizing fractures in extra-low permeability reservoirs, the technology for classifying the microscopic pore structures of conglomerate reservoirs, the technology for depicting interbeds based on dense well pattern data, the technology for interpreting watered-out layers in conglomerate reservoirs, the technology for characterizing reservoir changes during the oilfield development process, the technology for identifying the dominant flow channels in conglomerate reservoirs, the technology for quantitatively classifying and evaluating low permeability reservoirs, the technology for constructing block reservoir configurations, and the technology for comprehensively characterizing remaining oil in multiple disciplines to determine the main oil and gas area and the remaining oil and gas area to be exploited in this wellbore.
[0047] S2. Determine the positions of at least one main target according to the main oil and gas area, and determine the positions of at least one alternative target according to the remaining oil and gas area;
[0048] Among them, the main target refers to the target in the oil and gas area mainly exploited in the early stage of this well determined by reservoir geological designers according to factors such as the structural change trend in the fault block area, the dip and strike of faults, the shape and scope of oil and gas enrichment distribution, the thickness of oil layers, the degree of heterogeneity of the target layer, physical properties, sedimentary characteristics, and the coning of edge and bottom water.
[0049] Among them, the alternative target refers to the target in the area for later development determined by reservoir geologists according to the results of fine reservoir description.
[0050] Among them, the process of determining the positions of at least one main target according to the main oil and gas area is as follows:
[0051] The target in the oil and gas area mainly exploited in the early stage of this well determined by reservoir geological designers according to factors such as the structural change trend in the fault block area, the dip and strike of faults, the shape and scope of oil and gas enrichment distribution, the thickness of oil layers, the degree of heterogeneity of the target layer, physical properties, sedimentary characteristics, and the coning of edge and bottom water in the main oil and gas area is used as the main target. Among them, the process of determining the positions of at least one alternative target according to the remaining oil and gas area is as follows:
[0052] The target in the area for later development determined by reservoir geologists according to the results of fine reservoir description of the remaining oil and gas area is used as the alternative target.
[0053] Such as Figure 2As shown, a primary target, namely primary target A, is determined, and two alternative targets, namely alternative target A and alternative target B, are determined. S3. Based on the position of any primary target and the drilling engineering parameters preset for the main wellbore, and using a two-dimensional trajectory calculation model to perform trajectory calculation, the trajectory of the main wellbore corresponding to the primary target is obtained until multiple trajectories of the main wellbore are obtained;
[0054] Among them, the drilling engineering parameters include: wellbore structure data, casing string structure data, position data of the sidetracking point, casing running capacity analysis data, drilling hydraulic parameters, drilling mechanical parameters, etc.
[0055] Among them, specifically, a two-dimensional trajectory calculation model with a conventional curvature radius can be used for trajectory calculation, as follows:
[0056] Use professional wellbore trajectory design software such as COMPASS for design to issue wellbore orbit profile data;
[0057] The on-site directional well engineer reviews and proofreads the profile data in combination with the directional ability of the on-site actual directional tools. The profile data that needs to be checked includes but is not limited to the maximum build rate, target data, well inclination change rate, and azimuth change rate.
[0058] S4. Based on the wellbore structure data of the main wellbore and the position of any alternative target, multiple undetermined feasible positions of the sidetracking point corresponding to the alternative target are obtained until all undetermined feasible positions of the sidetracking point corresponding to each alternative target are obtained. The specific process is as follows:
[0059] According to the geological stratification situation, the depth range [D1, D2] where the formation with good stability is located is preferably selected;
[0060] In the range [D1, D2], the position range [D1’, D2’] where a single layer of casing is located is preferably selected;
[0061] In the range [D1’, D2’], the position range [D1″, D2″] where the hole diameter enlargement rate of the adjacent well is less than 10% is preferably selected;
[0062] In the range [D1″, D2″], the position range of non-casing collars is preferably selected to determine multiple undetermined feasible positions of the sidetracking point.
[0063] S5. According to the undetermined feasible positions of each sidetracking point, the trajectories of the sidetracks corresponding to each sidetracking point are designed respectively. The specific process is as follows:
[0064] Use professional wellbore trajectory design software such as COMPASS for design to issue wellbore orbit profile data;
[0065] The on-site directional well engineer reviews and proofreads the profile data in combination with the directional capabilities of the on-site actual directional tools. The profile data to be checked includes, but is not limited to, the maximum build rate, target point data, hole angle change rate, and azimuth change rate.
[0066] S6. Determine the target wellhead range based on all the trajectories of the main wellbore, all the trajectories of each sidetrack wellbore, and the environmental assessment map of the oil and gas area to be exploited. The specific process is as follows:
[0067] The environmental assessment map specifically refers to the environmental assessment and protection map delimited by the national environmental protection department. When selecting the wellhead location, it is necessary to strictly follow the requirements of the environmental assessment map and select within the permitted area.
[0068] S7. Select the trajectory of the main wellbore with the wellhead location within the target wellhead range as the first target trajectory, and select the trajectory of the sidetrack wellbore with the wellhead location within the target wellhead range as the second target trajectory.
[0069] S8. Determine whether the drilling process data of each first target trajectory is reasonable respectively, and determine whether the drilling process data of each second target trajectory is reasonable respectively.
[0070] Among them, the drilling process data includes: casing running capacity data, drilling hydraulics data, and wellbore stability data. The judgment criteria for reasonableness are as follows:
[0071] Casing running capacity data: Conduct finite element analysis to carry out the analysis of the ultimate wellbore curvature for casing running and the safety evaluation of the casing. The analysis result of the casing running capacity shows that no buckling deformation occurs during the running process.
[0072] Drilling hydraulics data: Whether the displacement and pump pressure of the hydraulics parameters required for drilling the subsequent wellbore can meet the engineering practice.
[0073] Wellbore stability data: The oil and gas reservoir is in an environment of high pressure, high temperature, and high in-situ stress. During the drilling process, overflow, collapse, and loss accidents occur frequently. At the same time, the development of fractures and the concentration of in-situ stress jointly lead to extremely strong formation anisotropy, and the drilling risks on different azimuth wellbore trajectories are different. The designed wellbore trajectory should meet the requirements of wellbore stability, and the wellbore trajectory azimuth should be designed along the direction with good wellbore stability. If the casing running capacity data, drilling hydraulics data, and wellbore stability data of the first target trajectory all meet the engineering practice, then it is determined that the drilling process data of this first target trajectory is reasonable; otherwise, it is determined that the drilling process data of this first target trajectory is unreasonable, and all reasonable first target trajectories are thus determined.
[0074] S9. Determine the final trajectory of the main wellbore from all the reasonable first target trajectories, and determine the final trajectory of each sidetrack wellbore from all the second target trajectories corresponding to each sidetrack wellbore.
[0075] The present invention comprehensively considers factors such as the selection of the wellhead position, the drilling process, and the environmental assessment map of the oil and gas area to be exploited, determines the final trajectory of the main wellbore and the final trajectory of each sidetrack wellbore, which is conducive to improving the scientificity of deploying the wellbore and the final trajectory of each wellbore, and can also provide more convenient conditions for the long-term high-yield and stable production of old oilfields, so as to improve the development efficiency of the oil and gas area.
[0076] Optionally, in the above technical solution, in S9, determining the final trajectory of the main wellbore from all reasonable first target trajectories includes:
[0077] S90. When the number of reasonable first target trajectories is 1, determining this reasonable first target trajectory as the final trajectory of the main wellbore;
[0078] S91. When the number of reasonable first target trajectories is at least 2, determining the reasonable first target trajectory with the lowest cost as the final trajectory of the main wellbore.
[0079] Optionally, in the above technical solution, in S9, the process of determining the final trajectory of any sidetrack wellbore includes:
[0080] S92. When the number of reasonable second target trajectories corresponding to any sidetrack wellbore is 1, determining this reasonable second target trajectory as the final trajectory of this sidetrack wellbore.
[0081] When the number of reasonable second target trajectories corresponding to any sidetrack wellbore is at least 2, determining the reasonable second target trajectory with the lowest cost as the final trajectory of this sidetrack wellbore.
[0082] The process of calculating the cost is as follows:
[0083] As Figure 3 shown, the linear cost and non-linear cost of the wellbore are calculated based on well depth, well type, rig cost, window cutting and sidetracking cost, material cost, new technology additional cost, and well team comprehensive cost, and the annual growth rate of the cost is predicted by combining multiple linear regression algorithm, neural network prediction algorithm, support vector machine prediction algorithm or improved particle swarm algorithm, so as to predict the cost of the newly drilled main wellbore and sidetrack wellbore.

When optimizing the trajectory, it is necessary to compare and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the two orbit design ideas;

[0136] Specifically, when designing the sidetrack wellbore trajectory, it is usually divided into two different design ideas: conventional orbit design and short-radius or ultra-short-radius orbit design. When optimizing the trajectory, it is necessary to compare and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the two orbit design ideas.
[0137] Furthermore, the key parameters of the orbit that need to be compared and analyzed when optimizing the trajectory include: dogleg severity, target approach distance, length of the build section, length of the holding section, length of the horizontal section, and azimuth change.
[0138] The drilling and completion engineering economic evaluation module comprehensively demonstrates the feasibility of the trajectories of the main wellbore and the later sidetrack wellbore based on the difficulty of later sidetracking and the comprehensive drilling cost.
[0139] Specifically, the drilling and completion engineering economic evaluation module includes an oilfield standard well engineering pricing quota database and a wellbore trajectory evaluation calculation model; this module includes a module for analyzing the influencing factors of drilling and completion costs and a module for calculating the comprehensive drilling and completion costs. The module for calculating the comprehensive drilling and completion costs includes multiple linear regression algorithms, neural network prediction algorithms, support vector machine prediction algorithms, and improved particle swarm algorithms.
[0140] Furthermore, the establishment of the oilfield standard well engineering pricing quota database is often determined based on the average value of data over the years in the oilfield, and the costs are compiled based on relevant data such as standard design, relevant industry specifications and cycles, drill bits, drilling fluids, cement, and admixture consumption quotas.
[0141] The wellbore trajectory pre-evaluation module is used for the pre-evaluation of the wellbore trajectory, providing certain references for the optimization of the wellbore structure, the selection of rigs and drilling tools, and the determination of hydraulic parameters during the later drilling engineering design process.
[0142] Specifically, the designed trajectory should utilize professional software in advance. Based on the designed trajectory data, analyses such as casing tensile capacity analysis, rig load-bearing capacity analysis, casing running-in capacity analysis, drilling hydraulics analysis, and wellbore stability analysis should be carried out to evaluate the rationality of the trajectory in advance.
[0143] Furthermore, the selection of the rig and drill tools, as well as the design of hydraulic parameters, should also be considered in advance. Simulative analysis should be conducted for the early deployment of the rig, the preparation of drill tools, and the hydraulic parameters during the drilling process, providing a theoretical basis for the subsequent drilling design and construction in advance.
