Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of geothermal resource development and application, in particular to a multi-layer horizontal well three-dimensional circulation geothermal exploitation structure and construction method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Geothermal energy, as a clean renewable energy, is widely distributed and can be stably and continuously supplied. Geothermal resources can be divided into shallow geothermal resources, medium-deep geothermal resources, hot dry rock geothermal resources and magma-type geothermal resources according to distribution location and occurrence state. The depth of hot dry rock is generally 3000 meters or more, hot dry rock (hot dry rock) contains no or only a small amount of fluid, and the temperature is higher than 180 DEG C. The thermal energy of hot dry rock can be utilized under current technical and economic conditions. The thermal energy of hot dry rock is stored in various metamorphic or crystalline rock bodies. Common hot dry rocks include biotite gneiss, granite and granodiorite. Hot dry rock development and utilization need to artificially create a heat reservoir, inject low-temperature water into the injection well (recharge well) at high pressure, and make the rock body produce cracks. With the continuous injection of low-temperature water, the cracks increase and expand, and are interconnected, and finally form a roughly planar artificial hot dry rock heat reservoir structure. The injected water moves along the cracks and exchanges heat with the surrounding rock, producing high-temperature high-pressure water or water vapor mixture with a temperature of 200-300 DEG C, which is extracted from the production well. The tail water after use returns to the underground through the injection well, forming a closed loop. Since hot dry rock needs to form a fracture network in the development process, this method has high fracturing cost and uncontrollable fracturing direction, and often induces earthquakes during water injection and fracturing, which is one of the main reasons why hot dry rock has not been commercialized.

[0049] Embodiment two

[0050] The embodiment provides a construction method of the multi-layer horizontal well three-dimensional circulation geothermal exploitation structure of embodiment one, including the following steps.

[0051] Step one, well site arrangement of the injection well 100, the exploitation well 200 and the process well 300: referring to Figure 1 The injection well 100 and the exploitation well 200 are taken as a production well group, the wellhead position interval of the injection well 100 and the exploitation well 200 is above 50 m, and the specific position can be adjusted on the ground surface according to buildings or obstacles. The well interval L1, L2 between the wellhead of the process well 300 and the injection well 100 and the exploitation well 200 is preferably 400-600 m;

[0052] Step two, drilling of the injection well 100: the well structure of the injection well 100 is designed according to the heat extraction requirement of the thermal reservoir formation condition. First, the injection well 100 is drilled, and then the drilling is stopped after drilling to the predetermined depth. The first surface casing 1 is lowered for cementing. After the cementing is completed, the drilling is continued to drill vertically to the thermal reservoir depth, and the bottom is an open hole section.

[0053] Step three, drilling of the exploitation well 200: the well structure of the exploitation well 200 is designed according to the heat extraction requirement of the thermal reservoir formation condition. The exploitation well 200 is drilled, and then the drilling is stopped after drilling to the predetermined depth. The second surface casing 2 is lowered for cementing. After the cementing is completed, the drilling is continued to drill vertically to the thermal reservoir depth, and the bottom is an open hole section.

[0054] Step four, connection of the process well 300 and the injection well 100 through the first horizontal well 7: referring to Figure 3Drilling of process well 300 begins. After reaching the predetermined depth, the drill string is pulled out, and the third surface casing 3 is run in for cementing. After cementing, drilling continues. The drill string assembly consists of drill bit 9, magnetic signal generator connector 10, screw drill string 11, non-magnetic drill pipe 12, and drill pipe 14. The non-magnetic drill pipe 12 is equipped with a drilling rig 13. Directional drilling of the first horizontal well 7 is carried out towards injection well 100 according to design requirements. When the magnetic signal generator connector 10 is approximately 120m away from the wellbore of injection well 100, drilling begins from injection well 100. Within 00, the logging cable 15 is lowered into the target docking guidance instrument 16 to the predetermined docking depth. The first horizontal well 7 is guided to directional drilling through the target docking guidance instrument 16. The drilling trajectory control in this stage is obtained through drilling data. The vertical and horizontal deviations of the drill bit 9 are strictly controlled to achieve docking and connection between the first horizontal well 7 and the vertical section of the water injection well 100. After docking and connection, there will be a return flow at the wellhead of the water injection well 100. The pump is started to circulate and remove the cuttings in the hole. The downhole drilling tool of the process well 300 is raised to the opening depth of the branch well.

[0055] Step 5: The process well 300 and the production well 200 are connected via the second horizontal well 8: See [link / reference] Figure 4 According to the data from the logging-while-drilling instrument 13, the tool face of the screw drill string 11 is adjusted to open a new hole for the branch well. The second horizontal well 8 is then directionally drilled towards the production well 200 according to the design requirements. When the magnetic signal generator connector 10 is 120m away from the wellbore of the production well 200, the target docking guide instrument 16 is lowered from the production well 200 using the logging cable 15 to the predetermined docking depth. The second horizontal well 8 is then directionally drilled using the target docking guide instrument 16 to achieve docking and connection between the second horizontal well 8 and the vertical section of the production well 200. The pump is started to circulate and remove cuttings from the hole. The drill string is then lifted, and an open-hole bridge plug is lowered from the process well 300. Cement slurry is used to form a sealing structure in the process well 300 for sealing and cementing. After cementing, the upper part of the branch point to the bottom of the vertical section is sealed.

[0056] Step 6: Following the same docking method, drill bit 9 is lowered into process well 300 and drilled vertically downwards through the hole to carry out the construction of the horizontal circulation structure of each layer. Under the guidance of the target docking guide instrument 16, process well 300 is docked with water injection well 100 and production well 200 in sequence, and open hole bridge plugs and cementing are installed at the branch points of each layer.

[0057] Step 7: Lower the central pipe 4 and packer 5 from the wellhead of injection well 100;

[0058] Step 8: Water supply test run. Water is injected sequentially from water inlet ①, water inlet ② and water inlet ③ of water injection well 100. The return flow of water from well 200 is observed to ensure that the horizontal circulation structure of each layer is an independent circulation.

[0059] Step nine, the process well 300 is sealed and backfilled: in order to avoid excessive occupation of land resources, after the multi-layer horizontal circulation structure is normally operated, the process well 300 is sealed by injecting cement slurry into the well mouth. In this way, the three-dimensional circulation geothermal exploitation under different exploitation modes can be realized, and the features of large heat extraction area, small surface area, high heat exchange efficiency, and low construction cost are achieved.

[0060] The multi-layer horizontal well three-dimensional circulation geothermal construction method of the embodiment takes one injection well 100 and one production well 200 as one production well group, and takes one multi-layer multi-branch horizontal well as a process well 300. The injection well 100 and the production well are straight wells. First, the injection well 100 is drilled, and then the first surface casing 1 is lowered into the well. The well bottom is left as a bare hole section. Then, the production well 200 is drilled, and then the second surface casing 2 is lowered into the well. The well bottom is left as a bare hole section. Then, the straight well section of the process well 300 is drilled, and then the third surface casing 3 is lowered into the well. Then, the first horizontal well 7 is drilled in the direction of the injection well 100. The magnetic signal generating joint 10 is connected between the horizontal well drilling bit 9 and the screw drill 11. When the magnetic joint is about 120 m away from the wellbore of the injection well 100 in a straight line, the center target butt joint guiding instrument 16 is lowered into the injection well 100 to a predetermined depth. The first horizontal well 7 is guided to be connected with the straight well of the injection well 100 by the center target butt joint guiding instrument 16. After the connection, the first horizontal well 7 is raised to the build-up section, the drilling tool posture is adjusted, a new hole is opened, and the second horizontal well 8 is drilled in the direction of the production well 200. When the magnetic joint is about 120 m away from the wellbore of the production well 200 in a straight line, the center target butt joint guiding instrument 16 is lowered into the production well 200 to a predetermined depth. The second horizontal well 8 is guided to be connected with the straight well of the injection well 100 by the center target butt joint guiding instrument 16. After the connection, the downhole drilling bit 9 is raised. The bare hole bridge plug is lowered at the branch point of the first horizontal well 7 and the second horizontal well 8. The cement slurry is used to seal and cement the vertical section of the process well 300. After the cement is cured, the drilling tool is lowered, the through hole is drilled to the bottom to different depths to form directional build-ups, and the three-layer horizontal branch wells are sequentially connected with the injection well 100 and the production well 200. After the downhole drilling tool of the process well 300 is raised, the process well 300 is sealed and cemented by using the cement slurry, and the process well 300 is restored to the ground. The inner and outer two-layer center pipes 4 and the packer 5 are lowered into the injection well 100. After the cold water is injected from different injection openings of the injection well 100, the vertical circulation well group can realize independent circulation and heat extraction of each layer.
