Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oilfield drilling and production technology, and is particularly applicable to the design and optimization of wellbore structures for high gas content wells. Background Technology
[0002] Since the 1960s, with the development of formation pore pressure and fracturing pressure prediction and detection technologies, especially the promotion of near-balanced drilling technology and the mastery of well control technology, the petroleum industry has gradually summarized a relatively scientific design method for casing layers and running depth in wellbore structures. The industry standard SY / T 5431-2008, "Wellbore Structure Design Method," proposes a design philosophy that prioritizes preventing well kicks, preventing formation fracturing at the casing shoe, and avoiding differential pressure sticking, while meeting the constraint of the mandatory sealing point. It establishes a design method based on two pressure profiles—formation pore pressure and fracturing pressure—using graphical or analytical methods, either bottom-up or combined with a top-down approach, to determine the casing layers and running depth, and then adjusting them according to constraints. This method is currently the most commonly used wellbore structure design method in various oilfields in China.
[0003] However, this design method has significant shortcomings. The rationality of each casing depth depends entirely on the accuracy and sufficiency of the understanding of the underlying formation characteristics. More precisely, it depends on the error range of the formation pore pressure and fracture pressure predictions based on adjacent well data before drilling. The impact of this error on the rationality of the wellbore structure is related to the reservoir fluid type. For oil wells, the reservoir fluid is liquid. During drilling, if the drilling fluid design density is too low due to inaccurate pressure prediction, it cannot balance the formation pressure and a well kick may occur. However, because the reservoir fluid has a large self-weight, the internal pressure of the formation at the upper casing shoe and other weak and easily leaking formations above it is much lower than the reservoir pressure at the well kick location. Even if the upper casing depth is unreasonable, the fluid upward velocity is slow, and the well crew has ample time for well control actions, so the well control risk remains relatively low. However, for gas wells, the upward velocity of gas during a well kick is extremely fast, and its weight is relatively small, even negligible in shallow wells. The internal pressure of a well kick on the formation at the upper casing shoe and other weak and easily leaking formations above it is close to the reservoir pressure at the kick point. At the same time, the well crew has very little time to react to well control actions, resulting in significant well control risks, especially in high-pressure, high-gas-content wells, where the situation will be even more severe once a well kick occurs. Therefore, under the same conditions, the appropriate depth of the upper casing becomes particularly important for gas wells.
[0004] In general, current wellbore design methods are entirely based on predictions of formation pore pressure and fracture pressure (or leakage pressure) made before drilling, using data from neighboring wells in the same or adjacent blocks. However, these methods cannot eliminate the impact of pressure prediction errors. Since formation pressure prediction inevitably involves errors, the commonly used wellbore design methods are also inherently flawed, inevitably introducing additional well control risks to drilling operations. The magnitude of these risks is related to the reservoir fluid type, and is particularly pronounced for gas. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a wellbore structure optimization method that can be applied to the quantitative evaluation and risk control of gas invasion risk in high gas-bearing wells. Based on the preliminary wellbore structure design of a single well, the method comprehensively considers the gas invasion risk at the bottom of the well caused by formation pressure and its prediction error, optimizes the casing depth of each opening, and ensures well control safety.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for quantitative assessment and risk-controlled wellbore structure optimization of gas invasion risk, comprising the following steps:
[0007] (1) The error between the predicted formation pore pressure equivalent drilling fluid density and the measured formation pore pressure equivalent drilling fluid density of each single well completed in the same block of the design well was statistically analyzed, and an error sample space was established.
[0008] (2) Apply statistical methods to obtain the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the sample space;
[0009] (3) Obtain the data of the design well and complete the preliminary design of the well structure;
[0010] (4) Substitute the preliminarily determined additional value of drilling fluid density in the reservoir section into the cumulative distribution function to determine the probability of gas intrusion risk under the preliminary design wellbore structure;
[0011] (5) Compare with the maximum acceptable probability of air intrusion risk;

X In (x), the gas intrusion risk probability P0 under the preliminary wellbore structure design is obtained, and its solution method is as follows:
[0021] P0 = 1 - X (Δρ0)
[0022] (5) Compare the P0 obtained in step (4) with the maximum gas invasion risk probability P that the block or oilfield where the design well is located can accept. max Make a comparison judgment; if P0 ≤ P max If the current wellbore structure has an acceptable gas intrusion risk, then no further optimization is needed; if P0 > P max If the current well structure has an unacceptable risk of gas intrusion, it should be further optimized to reduce the risk of gas intrusion. Step (6) should be executed.
[0023] (6) Let P max =1- X (x), calculate the error Δρ between the drilling fluid density equivalent to the formation pore pressure in the maximum reservoir section under the acceptable gas invasion risk probability and the predicted value. max Furthermore, the equivalent drilling fluid density value ρ of the formation pore pressure in the maximum reservoir section under the acceptable probability of gas invasion risk was obtained. pmax The calculation method is as follows:
[0024] ρ pmax =ρ p +Δρ max
[0025] In the formula, ρ p The drilling fluid density is the equivalent of the predicted formation pore pressure in the reservoir section of the design well.
[0026] (7) Under the condition of preliminary casing program design, it is assumed that gas invasion occurs in the reservoir section during drilling, and the depths of the top boundary and the bottom boundary of the reservoir section are H t and H respectively, the formation pore pressure equivalent drilling fluid density of the reservoir section is the maximum reservoir section formation pore pressure equivalent drilling fluid density ρ determined in step (6) pmax ; the allowable gas kick volume ΔV is determined according to the well control response time at the operation site max to solve for the gas column height h of natural gas invading the wellbore w and the pressure P generated by the weight of the gas column at H w ;

[0031] (9) Determine that under the condition that the designed well meets the acceptable gas invasion risk probability P max , the optimized setting depth of the last casing above the reservoir at well depth H is h1, which satisfies the following condition: for any well depths h1 and h2 in the open hole section, where H0≤h1<h2<H, there is always ρ h1max ≥ρ h1l and ρ h2max <ρ h2l , or ρ h1max ≥ρ h1f and ρ h2max <ρ h2f , wherein, ρ h1l and ρ h2l are the predicted lost circulation pressure equivalent drilling fluid density values of the formation at well depths h1 and h2 respectively, T h1f and ρ h2fThese are the drilling fluid density values equivalent to the predicted fracture pressure of the formation at well depths h1 and h2, respectively.
[0032] In step (3), the preliminary design of the well shaft structure is completed in accordance with the industry standard SY / T 5431-2008 "Well Structure Design Method".
[0033] In step (7), the well control response time t at the work site is related to the accuracy of the well control equipment and the capabilities of the work team.
