Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high-speed particle impact rock breaking simulation technology, and relates to a particle impact rock breaking process simulation optimization method and system. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] In the early stages of oil and natural gas extraction, the hardness of deep rock formations limited mining to shallow strata. However, with continuous industrial development, shallow surface oil and gas resources have become insufficient to meet industrial demands, making the development of deep-seated oil resources a crucial task in oil and gas exploration. But during extraction, rock hardness and extraction difficulty increase with depth. Therefore, improving the rock-breaking speed in hard rock formations is a pressing research challenge.

[0004] Currently, rock breaking technologies can be classified into three types based on their mechanisms: hydraulic rock breaking, mechanical rock breaking, and particle impact rock breaking. Hydraulic rock breaking refers to the technology of using high-pressure water jets exceeding 20 MPa to break rocks. Mechanical rock breaking refers to using special cutting drill bits to tunnel through formations. Particle impact rock breaking involves injecting particles into a high-speed liquid through a particle injection system after the drilling fluid is pumped out. The particles are then transported to the drill bit at the bottom of the well via a high-pressure pipeline. The particles are eventually accelerated to the drilling fluid velocity and then ejected from a special PID drill bit nozzle, impacting the formation to break the rock. Finally, intact particles are separated from the drilling fluid returning from the wellhead, achieving particle recycling. The drilling speed of particle impact rock breaking is generally 3-4 times that of conventional drilling speeds, and it does not generate dust. It is easy to centrally control and greatly shortens the drilling cycle, showing great potential in applications in deep, hard formations.

[0005] With the advancement of computer technology and the improvement of computational theory, numerical simulation technology has become one of the mainstream methods for studying engineering problems. Traditional particle impact rock breaking simulations are mostly based on the finite element method and the finite difference method. However, in actual engineering, high-speed particles and high-speed drilling fluid form a complex two-phase flow system. Traditional single simulation methods cannot simulate the interaction between drilling fluid and impact particles, making it difficult to provide theoretical guidance for rock breaking process parameters. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0041] (1) Traditional rock strata modeling cannot accurately obtain information on structural surfaces such as joints and fissures in rock strata. This invention uses three-dimensional laser scanning technology and digital photogrammetry technology to obtain spatial data of working rock strata, which can obtain the real state of rock strata more accurately and realize high-precision modeling of rock strata.

[0042] (2) During the process of particle jet impact rock breaking, high-speed particles and high-speed fluid form a relatively complex two-phase flow. Traditional particle impact rock breaking simulation is mostly based on finite element method, finite difference method, etc. A single simulation calculation method cannot simulate the interaction between drilling fluid and impact particles. This invention is based on the CFD-DEM (Computational Fluid Dynamics-Digital Elevation Model) coupling method. CFD is used to simulate the flow of drilling fluid in a three-dimensional pipe, and DEM is used to simulate the flow of impact particles in drilling fluid and the process of being sprayed onto rock strata. This can more realistically reflect the physical process of particle impact rock breaking.

[0043] (3) The degree of rock mass fracture is represented by the fracture of parallel bond bonds, and the wear range of pipelines and nozzles is represented by the stress distribution. Based on the rock breaking parameters such as drilling fluid velocity, particle volume fraction, pipeline pressure, and particle size, multiple CFD-DEM coupled simulation calculations are carried out to obtain the corresponding relationship between rock breaking parameters and rock breaking effect, optimize the rock breaking process, and provide theoretical guidance for the field.
