Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil drilling engineering, and more specifically, to a method for calculating the friction coefficient of running casing, an application of the method for calculating the friction coefficient of running casing, a device for calculating the friction coefficient of running casing, and equipment and computer-readable storage medium for implementing the method for calculating the friction coefficient of running casing. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of unconventional oil and gas wells, the number of horizontal and extended-reach wells is increasing. The horizontal sections are becoming longer and the wellbore trajectories are more complex, making it difficult to run the casing to the designed depth. Whether the casing can be run to the designed depth is related to its stiffness. The frictional resistance of the casing not only affects whether it can be run to the designed depth but also affects whether the casing buckles and its future lifespan. Therefore, predicting and controlling the frictional resistance is crucial for the successful implementation of extended-reach and horizontal wells, and the value of the frictional resistance coefficient directly affects the applicability of the prediction results. Because the frictional resistance coefficient is affected by many factors such as drilling fluid properties, formation lithology, wellbore trajectory, and cuttings, it is not easy to calculate directly. Therefore, the frictional resistance coefficient is usually obtained by back-calculation using empirical wellbore values and field measurements. Currently, the frictional resistance coefficient can be back-calculated using the following three methods. The methods include: 1) back-calculating using measured drilling torque and drill string suspended weight; 2) back-calculating using measured normal lifting and lowering suspended weight of the drill string in the open hole and upper casing; and 3) back-calculating using measured normal lifting and lowering suspended weight of the casing string in the open hole and upper casing. While the inverse calculation of the friction coefficient after casing installation provides some reference for subsequent casing installations, it cannot accurately guide the casing installation operation for every well due to differences in drilling fluid properties, wellbore trajectory, formation lithology, and cuttings. For example, invention patent CN109869132A discloses a method for calculating the friction coefficient of casing installation. This method obtains friction coefficient values for different types of centralizers and calculates the friction coefficient value through real-time monitoring of hook load data, only allowing calculation of the friction coefficient during actual casing installation. Chinese patent application CN114254499A discloses a method for monitoring drilling operations based on friction coefficient. This method monitors wellbore conditions and operating conditions during drilling operations based on a target friction coefficient. However, the target friction coefficient is the friction coefficient during drilling, and its relationship with the casing friction coefficient is unclear, so it cannot directly guide the prediction and control of casing friction.

The terms "S1", "S2", "S3", etc., used in this invention are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0054] Currently, extended reach drilling and horizontal drilling are becoming increasingly common. However, due to factors such as the weight of the tubing string and wellbore curvature, tubing strings in highly deviated and horizontal wells exhibit high frictional resistance. Accurate calculation of casing frictional resistance is essential in the completion design and construction of highly deviated and horizontal wells because: ① improving wellbore profile design minimizes casing string running resistance; ② predicting the likelihood of casing string running into the actual drilled wellbore facilitates the selection of the running method; ③ accurately calculating the axial load on the casing string is crucial for casing string strength design and verification. Therefore, accurately predicting the frictional coefficient of the running casing is vital for oil and gas well development.
[0055] To address the aforementioned issues, the inventors proposed a method for calculating the casing friction coefficient. This method can inversely derive the wellbore friction coefficient from the segmented data of the wellbore hook load before casing installation, and then confirm the casing friction coefficient based on the wellbore friction coefficient. The casing friction coefficient predicted using this method has high accuracy.

[0139] Step 1: Data input and data processing.
[0140] Data input includes wellbore trajectory parameters, such as wellbore diameter, well depth, inclination angle, and azimuth angle. The obtained data is shown in Table 1. The well depth in this case is 6320m, KOP point is 2656m, point A is 3110m, and point B is 6320m.
[0141] Table 1 Wellbore Trajectory Parameters
[0142]
[0143]
[0144] Data input may also include the geometric dimensions and basic material parameters of the wellbore BHA assembly, such as the inner and outer diameters, section lengths, wall thicknesses, densities, unit linear weights, and elastic moduli of the drill bit, stabilizer, drill collar, stabilizer, and drill pipe. The geometric dimensions and basic material parameters of the wellbore BHA assembly collected in this example are as follows: Φ215.9mm drill bit (inner diameter 72mm) × 0.35m + double-female return valve (inner diameter 72mm) × 0.5m + Φ165.1mm drill collar (inner diameter 72mm) × 9.5m + Φ213.0mm centralizer (inner diameter 72mm) × 1.2m + Φ165.1mm drill collar (inner diameter 72mm) × 9.35m + Φ210.0mm centralizer (inner diameter 72mm) × 1.2m + Φ165.1mm drill collar (inner diameter 72mm) × 9.35m + Φ139.7mm (inner diameter 121mm) × 6290m
[0145] Data input may also include inputting basic drilling fluid parameters such as density and rheology. In this example, the density of the white oil-based drilling fluid is 2.06 g / cm³. 3 .
[0146] More preferably, the data input can also export logging point data from the logging software, including well depth, hook load, rotation speed, torque, displacement, and pressure.
[0147] Data processing can be used to filter out hook load data, or software can be used to automatically filter out hook load data. Data filtering should follow these principles:
[0148] 1. Take the average value of the hook load data for wells with a depth of less than 100m. This value is the reference load.
[0149] 2. All data with hook loads lower than 1.1 times the reference load will be removed.
[0150] 3. All data with a rotational speed greater than 1 RPM, torque greater than 0.1 KN.m, displacement greater than 1 L / S, or pressure greater than 0.5 MPa will be removed.
[0151] 4. For wells with the same depth, only the maximum load value of the hook is retained.
[0152] 5. When the well depth trend changes, only retain the data whose trend is consistent with the two well depth data following the current well depth data; otherwise, discard them.
[0153] Based on the above principles, the hook load data corresponding to the well depth position are obtained as follows.
[0154] Table 2 Hook Load Data Table
[0155]
[0156] Step 2: Interpolate the data for the segment points of the BHA structure.
[0157] Specifically, linear interpolation is performed based on the well depth, inclination angle, and azimuth angle of the corresponding endpoints of each segment of the BHA structure:
[0158] Well depth at any location: L = L i +Δl. (1)
[0159] Inclination angle at any location:
[0160] Orientation angle at any position:
[0161] Among them, L i Let be the known well depth (m) of measuring point i in the wellbore trajectory; Δl be the distance L to the location to be determined. i Length, m; α i φ i Given the inclination angle and azimuth angle of measuring point i in the wellbore trajectory, in °; ΔL i Δα is the well depth distance between two adjacent measuring points at the location to be determined in the wellbore trajectory, in meters; i Δφ represents the change in inclination angle between two adjacent measuring points at the desired location in the wellbore trajectory, in degrees. i Let be the change in azimuth angle between two adjacent measuring points at the location to be determined in the wellbore trajectory, in °.
[0162] Step 3: Calculate the dogleg degree of the BHA structure segments. After interpolation to obtain the basic parameters such as well depth, inclination angle, and azimuth angle of the BHA structure segments, calculate the dogleg degree or curvature K of the corresponding segments of the BHA structure and standard drill pipe according to the deformation characteristics of the tubing string in the three-dimensional wellbore, using the Lubinsiki recommended formula. The calculation method is as follows:
[0163]
[0164]
[0165] Where γ is the dogleg degree, ° / 30m; α i φ i For the known inclination angle and azimuth angle of measuring point i in the well trajectory, in °; K is the curvature, ° / m; L i Let be the known well depth (m) of measuring point i in the wellbore trajectory.
[0166] Step 4: Calculate the hook load. The hook load calculation model is as follows:
[0167]
[0168] in,
[0169]
[0170] The first term of the recursive formula is:
[0171]
[0172] The intermediate term of the recursive formula is:
[0173]
[0174] T n The axial load at the wellhead is kN; ΔL i γ is the well depth distance between two adjacent measuring points at the location to be determined in the wellbore trajectory, in meters; i For measurement point i, the dogleg degree is ° / 30m; q i The weight of the tubular line is expressed in kN / m. The average well inclination angle for this section is α, in degrees. i The well inclination angle at this point is °; μ is the comprehensive friction coefficient; E is the elastic modulus of the tubing string, Pa; I is the moment of inertia of this section of the tubing string, m. 4 k is the curvature, ° / m; T i Let i be the axial load at measuring point i, in kN.
[0175] Generally, T0 = 0, and the axial load and friction coefficient for each segment are known quantities. Substituting these into the above formula, the hook load T at the wellhead can be calculated. n .
[0176] Step 5: Friction coefficient inversion. Friction inversion is performed in three segments: vertical well, inclined well, and horizontal well. The comprehensive friction coefficient is iterated using the inversion formula to obtain the friction coefficient: f. e z = 0.27, f e x = 0.38, f e s = 0.41.
[0177] Step 6: Determine the casing friction coefficient. Since each casing in the horizontal section of this well has one roller rigid centralizer, the centralizer influence coefficient S = 1.0. The casing friction coefficient can be: μ z=S× fz = 0.27, μ x=S× f e x = 0.38, μ s=S× f e s = 0.41.
[0178] The calculation results based on the method for calculating the friction coefficient of the lower bushing provided in this example are shown in Table 3 below. It can be seen that the friction coefficient predicted by this method for each section has a high accuracy and a small error compared with the actual measured friction coefficient.
[0179] Table 3 shows the calculation results of the friction coefficient of the lower casing.
[0180]
[0181] Example 3
[0182] This example demonstrates the application of the method for calculating the lower casing friction coefficient according to the present invention. This method for calculating the lower casing friction coefficient can be the method used in Example 1 or 2.
[0183] This application may include prediction and control of bushing friction, as detailed below:
[0184] Step 1: Obtain the lower casing friction coefficient by inversion as in Example 1 or Example 2. The calculation results of the lower casing friction coefficient in this example are shown in Table 4 below.
[0185] Table 4 shows the calculation results of the lower casing friction coefficient in an example.
[0186]
[0187] Step 2: Input the casing string. The casing string data is shown in Table 5 below.
[0188] Table 5. Data Table of Lower Bushing String
[0189]
[0190]
[0191] Step 3: Interpolate the data at the segment points of the bushing string structure. The interpolation method in this example can be the same as the data interpolation method in Example 1 or 2.
[0192] Step 4: Calculate the dogleg of the casing string structure segments. After interpolation to obtain the basic parameters such as well depth, inclination angle, and azimuth angle of the casing string structure segments, calculate the dogleg or curvature K of the corresponding segments of the casing string structure and standard drill pipe using the Lubinsiki recommended formula, based on the deformation characteristics of the tubing string in the three-dimensional wellbore. The calculation method of the dogleg or curvature K in this example can be the calculation method of Example 1 or 2.
[0193] Step 5: Based on the predicted friction coefficient μ of the lower casing z =0.27, μ x =0.38, μ s =0.41, predicting the lower casing friction and hook load. The predicted lower casing friction and hook load data obtained in this example are shown in Table 6 below.
[0194] Table 6. Predicted data on casing friction and hook load.
[0195]
[0196] Step 6: Based on the budget, the frictional resistance when the casing is in place is 507.31KN and the load on the hook is 498.60KN. Therefore, it is determined that the conventional casing lowering process can be used, and the floating casing lowering process is not necessary.
