Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of geophysical logging and oil and gas development engineering, specifically to a method for determining the passability of a well-entry tool after casing deformation, a system for determining the passability of a well-entry tool after casing deformation, a computer device, and a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program. Background Technology
[0002] Shale oil and gas has gradually become the main battleground supporting the vigorous development of my country's energy industry, with its production share increasing year by year. During shale oil and gas exploration and development, casing well deformation events occur frequently, seriously affecting the efficiency of oil and gas exploration and development and the timeliness of construction operations. After casing deformation, the calculation of the well tool string's throughput capacity and the optimization of the tubing string are crucial to the success or failure of subsequent construction operations. However, the complex geometric spatial morphology and difficulty in characterizing deformed casing severely restrict the calculation of the well tool string's throughput capacity. How to accurately characterize the three-dimensional wellbore spatial characteristics after casing deformation and accurately calculate the well tool string's throughput capacity has become a technical challenge that urgently needs to be overcome.
[0003] Current research on downhole tool passability mainly employs geometric and mechanical analysis methods. Most studies use drill strings and drill pipes as examples, simplifying the tool string into a uniform cross-section beam model subjected to the lateral component of net weight and axial pressure. Furthermore, most studies assume the tool string gets stuck at the maximum dogleg. Ran Jing et al. (1990) proposed a method for determining downhole tool passability under rigid conditions. Zhao Junping et al. (1993) improved the rigid passability model and established a mechanical model for solving downhole tool passability under flexible conditions using the longitudinal and transverse bending method. Di Qinfeng et al. (1996) considered the influence of centralizers on drill string passability, but neglected the influence of axial stress. He Shiming et al. (1997) established a friction calculation model for casing in horizontal wells through mechanical analysis. Later, Sui Mancang et al. (1999) considered the influence of rotational running in casing friction analysis. Wang Yanhong (2008) discussed the mechanical analysis method for downhole tool passability. Zhu Xiuxing et al. (2013) established the governing equation for the length of the joint perforation string under rigid conditions, but did not consider the deformation of the string. Feng Ding et al. (2016) conducted a study on the passability of multi-layer perforation strings under the assumption that the location of the maximum curvature of the wellbore trajectory is the jamming point of the sub-injection string. Liu Jun et al. (2021) established a wellbore passability analysis model for cable-pumped cluster perforation strings based on a comprehensive consideration of factors such as friction between downhole tools and the wellbore, wellbore geometric constraints, pump thrust, axial tension, variable cross-section of the string, cable head tension, and tool elastic deformation. They then used geometric analysis and longitudinal and transverse bending methods to establish and solve the complex coefficient equations of the model.
[0004] Chinese patents CN111241684B and CN111101931B disclose two methods for determining the throughput capacity of clustered perforated tubing strings in wells with cable pumps. Both methods assume the tubing string throughput capacity is determined under conditions of undeformed cylindrical casing. These methods yield good calculation results for high-rigidity tool strings or undeformed cylindrical casing. However, after casing deformation, the wellbore is no longer a regular cylinder, and the wellbore axis changes. Using existing geometric or mechanical analysis methods for determination will lead to erroneous calculation results and may even cause more complex accidents. Therefore, a new method for determining the throughput capacity of tool strings in wells with deformed casing is needed to meet the needs of field production. Summary of the Invention
