Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oilfield well completion technology, specifically relating to a method and apparatus, computing equipment and computer storage medium for obtaining the buried height of blind pipe after fracturing and filling induced sand removal. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, fracturing and packing sand control technology has been widely used as a new type of mechanical sand control method that integrates production enhancement and sand control. Domestic oilfields are increasingly using fracturing and sand control technology for well completion, and have achieved some research and application results.

[0003] To increase efficiency and reduce operation time, offshore oilfields typically employ multi-layer tools for fracturing operations. These tools are complex, consisting of inner and outer tubing strings. After fracturing, filling, and desanding, the blind pipe burial height needs to be calculated. Current methods primarily use Darcy's law to calculate this. Before operation, the tool is placed at the fracturing / filling position, the annular valve is opened, and a forward circulation test is performed, recording the displacement and pressure. After the desanding pressure is reached during fracturing / filling, the tubing string is raised to the reverse circulation position to remove the ceramsite from the drill pipe. After standing for approximately two hours, the tubing string is lowered back to the filling position. Once the tool is in place, the annular valve is opened, and the same displacement and fluid as the forward circulation are used for a test filling. The blind pipe burial height is calculated based on the pressure difference between the test filling and the forward circulation.

[0004] As can be seen from the above process, the lowering of tools and the verification of filling increase the risk of jamming, and also increase the number of trips to and from the drill string, thereby increasing the operation time. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The method of obtaining the volume of sand and liquid in the annulus between the blind tube and the casing based on the annular volume of the annulus between the blind tube and the casing specifically means that the volume of sand and liquid in the annulus between the blind tube and the casing is equal to the volume of the annulus between the blind tube and the casing.

[0019] The mass of the proppant in the annulus between the blind pipe and the sleeve is calculated based on the mass of the proppant per unit volume of mortar and the volume of the mortar liquid.

[0020] Furthermore, the calculation of the proppant mass per unit volume of slurry based on the proppant mass per unit volume of bottom-hole clean fluid specifically involves:

[0021] The mass of proppant in a unit volume of bottom-hole clean fluid is used as the dividend, and the sum of the product of the mass of proppant in a unit volume of bottom-hole clean fluid and the absolute volume coefficient of the proppant and one is used as the divisor. The quotient obtained by dividing the dividend by the divisor is the mass of proppant in a unit volume of mortar.

[0022] Furthermore, the calculation of the mass of proppant in the annulus between the blind pipe and the casing, based on the mass of proppant per unit volume of mortar and the volume of the mortar liquid, specifically involves:

[0023] The mass of the proppant in the annular space between the blind pipe and the casing is equal to the product of the mass of the proppant in the unit volume of mortar and the volume of the mortar liquid.

[0024] Furthermore, the calculation of the buried height of the blind pipe after proppant settlement based on the mass of the proppant in the annulus between the blind pipe and the casing specifically involves:

[0043] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0044] Fracturing and packing-induced desanding uses fracturing and packing-induced desanding tubing, such as... Figure 1As shown, the fracturing and filling induced desanding tubing string includes a casing 4, a sand control tubing string installed inside the casing 4, and a service tubing string 1 installed inside the sand control tubing string; wherein the sand control tubing string includes a screen pipe 6, and the tubing string between the screen pipe 6 and the filling hole 7 of the sand control tubing string is a blind pipe 2; the sand control tubing string and the casing 4 are separated by a packer 3 to seal the upper annulus and the lower annulus, and the perforation section 5 is located at the location of the casing 4 corresponding to the screen pipe 6.

[0045] During the fracturing and filling induction stage, proppant-laden slurry is pumped into the inner annulus of the service tubing 1. The slurry then enters the annulus between the screen pipe 6 and the casing 4 through the filling hole 7 of the sand control tubing. Figure 1 The solid black arrow in the middle indicates the flow direction of the mortar carrying the proppant; after the mortar enters the annulus between the screen pipe 6 and the sleeve 4, the proppant cannot pass through the screen pipe 6, so it is trapped in the annulus between the screen pipe 6 and the sleeve 4, while the liquid enters the screen pipe 6 and finally returns through the radial hole 8 above the sand control pipe column. Figure 1 The hollow arrow indicates the direction of liquid flow.

[0046] The filtration of screen pipe 6 causes the proppant trapped outside screen pipe 6 to compact and become increasingly buried. When the proppant reaches the top of screen pipe 6, the fluid return channel to the wellhead is blocked by the proppant, causing a sharp increase in pump pressure and triggering sand removal pressure. At this point, to prevent sand settling inside the tubing and causing the service tubing 1 to become stuck, it is necessary to quickly raise the service tubing 1 to the reverse circulation position. Figure 2 As shown, after the service string 1 is raised to the reverse circulation position, the filling hole 7 of the sand control string is blocked; the blocking of the filling hole causes the proppant below the filling hole to sink naturally, while the proppant above the filling hole is injected with liquid through the annulus and reverse circulated from the drill pipe to the ground.

[0047] After the sand removal pressure is applied, the pump is stopped on the ground. The proppant to be settled exists in the annulus between the filling hole and the top of the screen pipe, that is, the annulus between blind pipe 2 and the casing. Therefore, by calculating the apparent volume of this proppant, the buried height of the blind pipe after the proppant has been completely settled and compacted can be obtained.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method for obtaining the burial height of the blind tube after fracturing and filling induced sand removal in an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S01: Calculate the volume of the sand fluid in the annulus between the blind tube and the casing; wherein the sand fluid is the aforementioned sand fluid carrying proppant, and the proppant must be unable to pass through the screen tube;

[0050] Step S02: Calculate the mass of the proppant in the annulus between the blind tube and the casing based on the volume of the sand liquid;

[0051] Step S03: Calculate the buried height of the blind pipe after the proppant settles based on the mass of the proppant in the annulus between the blind pipe and the casing.

[0052] Specifically, step S01, calculating the volume of sand fluid in the annulus between the blind pipe and the casing, further includes:

[0053] The annular volume between the blind tube and the casing is calculated based on the annular area between the blind tube and the casing and the length of the blind tube.

[0054] The volume of the sand-liquid mixture in the annulus between the blind tube and the casing is obtained from the annulus volume between the blind tube and the casing.

[0055] Use A 环空 The annular area between the blind tube and the sleeve is represented by V, where H1 represents the length of the blind tube. 环空 Let A represent the volume of the annulus between the blind tube and the casing. Then, based on the area A of the annulus between the blind tube and the casing... 环空 The annular volume V between the blind tube and the casing can be calculated from the length H1 of the blind tube. 环空 Specifically, the annular volume between the blind tube and the casing is equal to the product of the annular area between the blind tube and the casing and the length of the blind tube, that is...

[0056] V 环空 =A 环空 ·H1.

[0057] Calculate the annular volume V between the blind tube and the casing. 环空 Then, based on the annular volume of the space between the blind tube and the casing, the volume of the sand fluid in the annular space between the blind tube and the casing can be obtained. Specifically, the volume of the sand fluid in the annular space between the blind tube and the casing is equal to the volume of the annular space between the blind tube and the casing.

[0058] Step S02, which calculates the mass of the proppant in the annulus between the blind tube and the casing based on the volume of the sand slurry, further includes:

[0059] The mass of proppant in a unit volume of mortar is calculated based on the mass of proppant in a unit volume of bottom-hole clean fluid.

[0060] The mass of proppant in the annulus between the blind pipe and the casing is calculated based on the mass of proppant per unit volume of mortar and the volume of mortar liquid.

[0061] The mass of the proppant in the annulus between the blind pipe and the casing can be obtained from the known volume of sand slurry. This requires the mass of the proppant per unit volume of sand slurry, which can be calculated from the mass of the proppant per unit volume of bottom hole clean fluid.

[0062] Specifically, the proppant mass per unit volume of mortar is calculated based on the proppant mass per unit volume of bottom-hole clean fluid as follows: the proppant mass per unit volume of bottom-hole clean fluid is used as the dividend, and the sum of the product of the proppant mass per unit volume of bottom-hole clean fluid and the absolute volume coefficient of the proppant and one is used as the divisor. The quotient obtained by dividing the dividend by the divisor is the proppant mass per unit volume of mortar.

[0063] Specifically, using C 砂浓度 The mass of proppant per unit volume of bottom hole clean fluid is expressed by C. 支撑剂 The proppant mass per unit volume of mortar is represented by AVF, which is the absolute volume factor of the proppant, i.e., the volume corresponding to a unit mass of proppant. The divisor is then C. 砂浓度 The divisor is 1+C 砂浓度 AVF, therefore, the proppant mass C per unit volume of mortar 支撑剂 It can be obtained through the following formula:

[0064]

[0065] Specifically, the mass of the proppant in the annulus between the blind pipe and the casing is calculated based on the mass of the proppant in a unit volume of mortar and the volume of the mortar solution. The mass of the proppant in the annulus between the blind pipe and the casing is equal to the product of the mass of the proppant in a unit volume of mortar and the volume of the mortar solution.

[0066] Specifically, let M represent the mass of the proppant in the annulus between the blind tube and the casing, then:

[0067] M = C 支撑剂 V 环空 .

[0068] Specifically, step S03, which calculates the buried height of the blind pipe after proppant settlement based on the mass of the proppant in the annulus between the blind pipe and the casing, involves using the mass of the proppant in the annulus between the blind pipe and the casing as the divisor, and using the product of the bulk density of the proppant and the annular area between the blind pipe and the casing as the divisor. The quotient obtained by dividing the divisor by the divisor is the buried height of the blind pipe after proppant settlement.

[0069] Specifically, H represents the burial height of the blind pipe after proppant settling, and ρ represents... 堆积 Let M represent the bulk density of the proppant, and ρ be the dividend and ρ the divisor. 堆积 A 环空 Therefore, the burial height H of the blind pipe after proppant settling can be obtained by the following formula:

[0070]

[0071] The above steps allow you to calculate the burial height of the blind pipe after proppant settlement. It's important to maintain consistent units in the calculations, for example, using feet (ft).3 If ft represents feet, then the unit for all types of area is ft. 2 All length units are in ft; for example, lb is used to represent mass, which stands for pound.

[0072] The method of this invention will be described in detail below using a well as an example:

[0073] Pipeline dimensions: 4-1 / 2" blind pipe, blind pipe length 12m, 7" 26# sleeve.

[0074] Proppant parameters: Sand concentration in the annulus between the blind pipe and casing during sand removal is 8 ppg (mass of proppant in a unit volume of bottom hole clean fluid), proppant AVF value is 0.0442 gal / lb, and proppant bulk density is 97 lb / ft. 3 ,

[0075] According to C 砂浓度 And AVF, C can be calculated 支撑剂 :

[0076]

[0077] The formula for calculating the burial height H of a blind conduit can be simplified to:

[0078]

[0079] Therefore, the burial height H of the blind pipe can be calculated:

[0080]

[0081] That is, the buried height of the blind pipe after the proppant settles is 17.9 feet.

[0082] The method for obtaining the burial height of the blind pipe after fracturing and filling induced sand removal in this embodiment of the invention avoids the complex operation of filling verification, reduces the risk of tool jamming, saves operation time, and improves the success rate of operation. In addition, the theoretical basis of the burial height of the blind pipe calculated by this method is reliable and the results are accurate.
