Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas development, and specifically refers to a microbubble solidification bridge slurry device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the later stages of oil and gas well development, shallow casing is a key structure connecting the surface and underground oil and gas layers. Its stability and integrity are crucial for sustained and efficient oil and gas production. Shallow casing, as the name suggests, refers to the casing section located near the surface and at a shallow depth, which is directly subject to multiple influences such as ground activities, underground fluid pressure changes and chemical corrosion. In recent years, with the increase in the service life of oil and gas wells, shallow casing faces serious corrosion, perforation and damage problems, which not only reduce the production efficiency of oil and gas wells, but also pose a potential threat to environmental safety.

[0003] What is particularly tricky is that the leak points of the damaged casing are widely and irregularly distributed, and the flow areas of the leak points vary, making traditional bridge plugging slurries incapable of dealing with crack leakage. Traditional bridge plugging methods often fail to effectively cover all leak points, especially in fine cracks with small flow areas, where the plugging effect is greatly reduced, resulting in a significant increase in the difficulty of plugging operations and a sharp increase in costs.

[0012] The present invention also discloses a method for using a microbubble curing bridge slurry device, which mainly comprises the following steps:

[0013] Step 1: The input end of the mud mixer is connected to the mud, and the mud enters the small bin after being stirred by the mud cyclone;

At the same time, the stirring action of the agitator 2 ensures that the nitrogen foaming liquid and the mud are fully mixed, making the microbubbles more evenly distributed in the mud, further improving the plugging effect.

[0019] (3) The ratio and fluidity of the microbubble mud can be adjusted according to the size of the flow area of ​​different leakage points to better adapt to various complex leakage situations. This flexibility makes the device more adaptable and practical when dealing with various leakage problems of shallow casing.

[0020] (4) Operators can easily control the generation, mixing and delivery process of microbubble mud, reducing the complexity and difficulty of plugging operations. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
