Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas drilling, and in particular to a method and device for determining the operation timing of while-drilling reaming based on the creep law of salt-gypsum layers. BACKGROUND
[0002] This section is intended to provide background or context to the embodiments of the application recited in the claims. The description herein does not constitute admission that the prior art is prior art nor does it constitute an admission of any description in the section as prior art unless expressly so stated.
[0003] Onshore deep layers are an important replacement field for energy, with 39% of remaining oil and 57% of remaining natural gas distributed in deep layers. Deep and ultra-deep oil and gas resources have become the main battlefield of future oil and gas strategies. Salt-gypsum layers are natural good cap rocks for oil and gas accumulation and contain a large amount of oil and gas resources in some areas. However, salt-gypsum layers have strong fluidity under high temperature and high pressure, which can easily cause hole necking and collapse, causing tripping resistance, sticking, casing deformation and other complex accidents, and even the risk of well abandonment, which poses a serious challenge to safe drilling, making salt-gypsum layer drilling a technical problem. Taking an exemplary region as an example, the complex deep well in this region has a depth of about 8000m, with a thick composite salt-gypsum layer developed, and accidents such as sticking, necking and sticking frequently occur during drilling. From 2018 to 2020, 67 wells had a total of 604 sticking accidents, resulting in 7 serious sticking accidents.
[0004] Currently, while-drilling reaming technology is commonly used to drill through salt-gypsum layers during salt-gypsum layer drilling to reduce the creep necking displacement of salt-gypsum layers and reduce or avoid complex situations such as sticking and necking. At the same time, it can increase the thickness of the cement sheath and improve the ability of the cement sheath system to resist formation creep, improve cementing quality and protect the oil layer casing, thereby offsetting the impact of salt-gypsum layer creep and achieving the purpose of "space" for "time". However, field while-drilling reaming operations are mostly based on experience, and when drilling time, torque and other abnormal phenomena occur, the while-drilling reaming tool is used, which is a passive operation mode. There is a lack of scientific guidance for the timing of while-drilling reaming operations, resulting in poor while-drilling reaming effect, low safety efficiency, and even multiple downhole complex accidents such as sticking, which seriously affects the safety drilling period.
[0005] In view of the above, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can overcome the above-mentioned defects and effectively control the while-drilling reaming of salt-gypsum layers. SUMMARY
[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention proposes a method and apparatus for determining the timing of reaming operations while drilling based on the creep law of salt-gypsum layers.

It should be understood that these embodiments are given merely to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0032] Those skilled in the art will recognize that embodiments of the present invention can be implemented as a system, apparatus, device, method, or computer program product. Therefore, this disclosure can be specifically implemented in the following forms: entirely hardware, entirely software (including firmware, resident software, microcode, etc.), or a combination of hardware and software.
[0033] According to embodiments of the present invention, a method and apparatus for determining the timing of reaming operations while drilling based on the creep law of salt-gypsum layers are proposed, relating to the field of oil and gas drilling technology. This invention employs a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, comprehensively utilizing indoor experiments and field data analysis to rationally determine the timing of reaming operations while drilling in salt-gypsum layers, thereby improving the effectiveness of reaming operations, reducing the complexity of accidents in salt-gypsum layer sections, shortening the construction cycle in salt-gypsum layer sections, and saving drilling costs.
[0034] The principles and spirit of the present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.
[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a method for determining the timing of drilling reaming operations based on the creep law of salt-gypsum layers, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0036] S1, Record the creep data of the salt-gypsum layer through the salt-gypsum layer creep test experiment;
[0037] S2, Based on the creep data of the salt paste layer, plot a graph showing the relationship between creep displacement and creep time;
[0038] S3, Obtain drilling log data, and determine the creep section depth, drilling fluid density, and creep section deformation based on the drilling log data;
[0039] S4. Based on the drilling log data, determine the creep section depth, drilling fluid density, creep section deformation, and the relationship chart between creep displacement and creep time, and determine the timing of drilling reaming operations.
[0040] This invention obtains the creep law of salt-gypsum layers through creep testing experiments, establishes a graph showing the relationship between creep displacement and creep time in salt-gypsum layers, and analyzes the shrinkage deformation based on data such as resistance and stuck pipe in the creep stage to determine the creep time of the salt-gypsum layer. This allows for reasonable guidance on the timing of reaming operations in adjacent wells during drilling in salt-gypsum layers, improving the effectiveness of reaming operations, preventing downhole stuck pipe accidents, shortening the drilling cycle, and saving drilling construction costs. This is of great significance for the development of deep and ultra-deep oil and gas resources.
[0041] To provide a clearer explanation of the method for determining the timing of drilling reaming operations based on the creep law of salt-gypsum layers, each step will be explained in detail below.
[0042] In S1, the creep data of the salt-gypsum layer is recorded through a creep test experiment.
[0043] refer to Figure 2 The specific process is as follows:
[0044] S101, Place the salt-gypsum layer rock sample on a true triaxial experimental instrument;
[0045] S102, the axial pressure and confining pressure were applied in stages using a true triaxial experimental instrument, and the salt-gypsum rock sample was heated using a multi-stage heating method;
[0046] S103. After the salt-gypsum layer rock sample is destroyed, stop the experiment and record the creep data of the salt-gypsum layer.
[0047] In practical applications, a complete standard rock sample is placed on a true triaxial experimental apparatus, and the equipment and pipelines are assembled. A servo control system is used to apply axial pressure and confining pressure in stages, and a multi-stage heating method is employed to control the internal temperature. After the rock sample is destroyed, the experimental apparatus is shut down, cooled to room temperature, and then the servo system is turned off, and the axial pressure and confining pressure are unloaded, ending the experiment.
[0048] In S2, based on the creep data of the salt paste layer, a graph depicting the relationship between creep displacement and creep time is plotted, including:
[0049] Based on the depth of the salt-gypsum layer, creep data of salt-gypsum layers at different depths were statistically analyzed. Based on the creep data of salt-gypsum layers at different depths, graphs showing the relationship between creep displacement and creep time for rock samples of salt-gypsum layers at different depths were plotted.
[0050] In S3, drilling log data is acquired, and the creep zone depth, drilling fluid density, and creep zone deformation are determined based on the drilling log data.
[0051] refer to Figure 3 The specific process is as follows:
[0052] S301, Analyze accidents occurring in the salt-gypsum formation based on drilling log data; wherein, the accidents are one or more combinations including obstruction and stuck pipe;
[0053] S302. Based on the drilling log data of the accident, determine the depth range of the creep zone and the drilling fluid density.
[0054] S303, determine the amount of creep deformation based on the drill string assembly and wellbore size of the section where the accident occurred.
[0055] Specifically, the drilling log data is analyzed to determine whether complex incidents such as obstruction or stuck pipe have occurred in the salt-gypsum layer. The depth range and drilling fluid density of the creep zone are determined based on data regarding obstruction and stuck pipe in the salt-gypsum layer. The amount of deformation in the creep zone is determined based on the drill string assembly and wellbore dimensions for the salt-gypsum layer obstruction and stuck pipe incidents.
[0056] In S4, based on the drilling log data, the creep section depth, drilling fluid density, creep section deformation, and the relationship chart between creep displacement and creep time are determined to determine the timing of drilling reaming operations.
[0057] refer to Figure 4 The specific process is as follows:
[0058] S401, Based on the creep segment depth, find the graph showing the relationship between creep displacement and creep time for the salt-gypsum rock sample corresponding to the creep segment depth;
[0059] S402, mark the creep segment deformation amount in the relational diagram to obtain the creep time corresponding to the creep segment deformation amount;
[0060] S403, based on the drilling fluid density and creep time, determine the interval time for drilling reaming operations, and perform drilling reaming operations according to the interval time.
[0061] Specifically, on the vertical axis of the graph showing the relationship between creep displacement and creep time in the salt-gypsum layer, the corresponding relationship curve is selected based on the depth of the creep segment where complex accidents such as obstruction or stuck drill occur.
[0062] Mark the location of the deformation in the creep segment on the vertical axis of the graph showing the relationship between creep displacement and creep time in the salt-gypsum layer. On the vertical axis of the graph showing the relationship between creep displacement and creep time in the salt-gypsum layer, find the creep time corresponding to the horizontal axis based on the selected curve and the location of the marked point.
[0063] After encountering a salt-gypsum layer at the creep stage depth, if the actual drilling fluid density is greater than that of the adjacent well's creep stage drilling fluid, active reaming should be initiated every creep time interval to meet engineering requirements. If the actual drilling fluid density is less than or equal to that of the adjacent well's creep stage drilling fluid, active reaming should be initiated every 3 / 4 of a creep time interval to meet engineering requirements.
[0064] It should be noted that although the operation of the method of the present invention has been described in a specific order in the above embodiments and figures, this does not require or imply that the operations must be performed in that specific order, or that all the operations shown must be performed to achieve the desired result. Additionally or alternatively, certain steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or one step may be broken down into multiple steps.
[0065] To provide a clearer explanation of the method for determining the timing of drilling reaming operations based on the creep law of salt-gypsum layers, a specific embodiment will be used for illustration below.
[0066] S1, Record the creep data of the salt-gypsum layer through the creep test experiment:
[0067] First, place the cut standard rock sample onto the true triaxial experimental apparatus and assemble the equipment and pipelines.
[0068] During assembly, the rock sample is wrapped in a thermoplastic tube, the sensor is placed on the outside of the thermoplastic tube, and after adjusting the position of the sensor probe, it is placed in the center of the base. The standard rock sample size is 50mm×100mm.
[0069] The axial pressure and confining pressure are applied in stages by the servo control system on the true triaxial experimental instrument. By keeping the principal stress σ1 = 125MPa constant, starting from the initial stress σ3 = 120MPa and the deviatoric stress σ1-σ3 = 5MPa, the confining pressure (σ3) is reduced by 5MPa at each stage while the axial deviatoric stress (σ1-σ3) is increased by 5MPa at each stage, so as to keep the principal stress constant and gradually increase the deviatoric stress by 5MPa.
[0070] The internal temperature is controlled by an automated multi-stage heating method on the true triaxial experimental instrument, starting from 100℃, with five temperature levels designed: 110℃, 120℃, 130℃, and 140℃.
[0071] After the rock sample was destroyed, the experimental instrument was stopped, the creep data of the salt-gypsum layer was recorded, and the servo system was turned off after the rock sample cooled to room temperature. The axial pressure and confining pressure were then unloaded, and the experiment ended.
[0072] S2, Based on the creep data of the salt paste layer, plot a graph showing the relationship between creep displacement and creep time:
[0073] Statistical analysis was conducted on the creep displacement and creep time of all rock samples, and point-line plots of creep displacement and creep time were created for salt-gypsum layer rock samples at different depths. (Reference) Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the relationship between creep displacement and creep time in a salt paste layer according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 In the figure, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents creep displacement. The marks H0 to H4 in the figure represent different depth segments.
[0074] S3, Obtain drilling log data, and determine the creep section depth, drilling fluid density, and creep section deformation based on the drilling log data:
[0075] Based on the analysis of drilling log data, determine whether complex accidents such as obstruction or stuck pipe have occurred in the salt-gypsum formation.
[0076] The creep zone depth range and drilling fluid density are determined based on data such as encountering resistance in the salt-gypsum layer and stuck pipe in the drilling log.
[0077] The amount of deformation in the creep stage is determined based on the drill string combination and wellbore size for sections where the drill encounters resistance or gets stuck in the salt-gypsum layer.
[0078] refer to Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the deformation between the drill string assembly and the wellbore size during creep drilling according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, the deformation of the creep section can be determined based on the deformation between the drill string assembly and the wellbore size.
[0079] S4. Based on the drilling log data, determine the creep section depth, drilling fluid density, creep section deformation, and the relationship between creep displacement and creep time, and determine the timing of reaming operations while drilling:
[0080] On the vertical axis of the graph showing the relationship between creep displacement and creep time in the salt-gypsum layer, select the corresponding relationship curve based on the depth of the creep segment where complex accidents such as obstruction or stuck drill occur.
[0081] Mark the location of the creep segment deformation on the vertical axis of the graph showing the relationship between creep displacement and creep time in the salt-gypsum layer. Based on the selected curve and the location of the marked points, find the creep time corresponding to the horizontal axis.
[0082] refer to Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the location of the deformation amount of the marked creep segment according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown in the figure, based on the relationship between creep displacement and creep time of the salt gypsum layer, determine the creep time t0 corresponding to the 20mm creep deformation at depth H0.
[0083] After encountering the salt-gypsum layer, if the actual drilling fluid density is greater than the drilling fluid density of the creep section of the adjacent well, active reaming will be initiated every creep time (t0) to meet the engineering requirements.
[0084] If the actual drilling fluid density is less than or equal to the drilling fluid density in the creep section of the adjacent well, active reaming will be initiated every 3 / 4 creep time (0.75t0) to meet the engineering requirements.

Based on the creep data of salt-gypsum layers at different depths, graphs showing the relationship between creep displacement and creep time for rock samples of salt-gypsum layers at different depths were plotted.
