Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydrate reservoir exploitation, and in particular to a drilling and completion simulation device in the process of hydrate pressure-maintaining drilling and exploitation. Background Art
[0002] At present, in the exploration and development of fossil energy such as oil, natural gas, coalbed methane and shale gas, drilling and completion construction are the main technical means of development. As a new type of clean energy that can alleviate the problem of energy shortage, hydrates are very abundant in resources and have broad development prospects. However, since the mining technology cannot achieve long-term, efficient and economic development, the hydrate mining method is still in the key research stage. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out a large number of related experimental studies to study the hydrate mining mechanism and the scientific and technological research of efficient mining methods, so as to achieve the purpose of guiding on-site construction with the results of simulation experiments.
[0003] At present, hydrate reservoirs are mainly mined by depressurization, heating, injection, and replacement after drilling and completion. Therefore, the drilling and completion process is a necessary means for the exploitation of hydrate reservoirs. In the actual drilling and completion process, the bottom hole pressure often decreases, which leads to the automatic decomposition of hydrates in the reservoir as the pressure decreases. The sand particles produced enter the wellbore, causing the wellbore safety problem of sand production at the bottom of the well. The natural gas produced by the decomposition will also enter the atmosphere, causing various environmental risks. Even after the decomposition of hydrates, the original skeleton structure of the reservoir will collapse, changing the formation stress field, causing wellbore and reservoir collapse, mining equipment being buried and other production control risks. Therefore, in the process of simulating the depressurization of hydrate reservoir drilling and completion, it is necessary to realize the simultaneous lowering of screens while drilling, and integrate the on-site drilling process to keep the pressure in the wellbore sealed and stable, avoid the automatic decomposition of natural gas hydrates in the wellbore to cause production and safety problems, and realize the safe and efficient development of hydrate reservoirs. However, none of the currently known related simulation devices can realize the pressure-maintaining drilling and production simulation process of hydrate reservoirs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a drilling and completion simulation device that can achieve pressure-maintaining sealing under laboratory conditions. The experimental device can simulate the drilling and completion process of a hydrate reservoir with complete pressure-maintaining sealing under laboratory conditions, thereby providing relevant theoretical and technical basis for the depressurization exploitation of natural gas hydrate reservoirs. Summary of the invention

A filter element sand prevention assembly 27 composed of multiple metal wire mesh elements is evenly and symmetrically distributed in the screen assembly 26, which can prevent the formation gravel brought by the decomposition of hydrates from the outside of the screen assembly 26, effectively prevent the invasion of fine sand, and play a role in sand prevention.
[0024] In addition, a heating device 49 and a chemical injection port 50 are provided in the wellbore. The temperature in the wellbore can be increased by the heating device 49, and a chemical promoting hydrate degradation agent can be added through the chemical injection port 50 to catalyze the decomposition of hydrates in the wellbore. The decomposition of hydrates in the wellbore can be promoted by a superposition of heating, reducing pressure and injecting chemical agents.
[0025] The kettle installation components include a kettle connecting column 24, a connecting column bolt 25, a simulated kettle end cover 30, and a locking nut 31. The entire device is connected to the simulated kettle end cover 30 through the kettle connecting column 24. The kettle connecting column 24 is connected to the kettle through the connecting column bolt 25 and is fixed to the simulated kettle end cover 30 with a locking nut 31 to simulate the wellhead and completion structure. It should be pointed out that the sealing of the screen assembly 26 and the kettle connecting column 24 is achieved by an O-ring seal.
[0026] The forward and reverse circulation system components include forward and reverse liquid discharge and injection ports 34 reserved at the wellbore, circulating liquid 36, clean water 37, a first one-way valve 38, a second one-way valve 39, a forward and reverse circulation pipeline 40, a circulation pump 41, a stirring container 42, a back pressure valve 44, a filter kettle 46, a metal filter element 47, and a water-sand mixture 48. A forward and reverse liquid discharge and injection port 34 is reserved at the wellbore, and two liquid injection ports are respectively connected to the inlet and outlet of the circulation pump 41, connected to the first one-way valve 38 and the second one-way valve 39, and a square tee is arranged on the forward and reverse circulation pipeline 40, through the circulation pump 41 and The filter kettle 46, the stirring container 42 and the back pressure valve 44 are connected to form a complete forward and reverse circulation process of the circulating fluid 36. Clean water 37 is injected into the forward and reverse liquid injection ports 34 at the wellbore. During drilling, the stirring paddle 43 in the stirring container 42 can stir the water-sand mixture 48 evenly. When the water-sand mixture 48 passes through the filter kettle 46, the metal filter element 47 in the filter kettle 46 filters out the solid particles, and the water body circulates to the subsequent pipeline to continue the forward and reverse circulation. As the simulated drilling proceeds, sewage is discharged from the screen tube assembly 26 to simulate the circulation discharge of mud.
[0027] In addition, a plurality of throttle valves and one-way flow limiting valves are also provided on the forward and reverse circulation pipeline 40 to better control the experimental process. Specifically, a first flow limiting valve 52, a first one-way flow limiting valve 54, a second one-way flow limiting valve 55, a third one-way flow limiting valve 56 and a second flow limiting valve 53 are sequentially provided on the forward and reverse circulation pipeline 40. In addition, in order to facilitate the control of the experimental process, in some embodiments, corresponding valves can be added or reduced. The valves here include not only flow limiting valves or one-way flow limiting valves, but also control ball valves, etc. As long as it is convenient for the control device to conduct experiments, the present invention does not limit the valves provided on the forward and reverse circulation pipeline 40. The working process of the forward and reverse circulation system components is as follows: clean water 37 is injected into the forward and reverse liquid injection ports 34 at the wellbore, the water-sand mixture 48 passes through the metal filter element 47 in the filter kettle 46 to filter out solid particles, and the water-sand mixture 48 is evenly stirred by the stirring paddle 43 in the stirring container 42, and the water body follows the circulation pipeline to move to the subsequent pipeline to continue the forward and reverse circulation. As the simulated drilling proceeds, sewage is reversely discharged from the screen tube assembly 26 to simulate the circulation discharge of mud. The entire process can simulate the mud injection, discharge and circulation process in the drilling and production cycle.
[0028] The drill pipe rotation simulation component includes a servo motor 14, a motor locking screw 15, a motor coupling 16, a coupling pin 17, a motor connecting flange 18, a flange locking screw 19, a simulated drill pipe 28, and a diamond drill bit 29, wherein the drilling components such as the simulated drill pipe 28 and the diamond drill bit 29 are arranged inside the screen tube component 26, the servo motor 14 is connected to the guide plate 21 through the motor connecting flange 18, which is locked by the motor locking screw 15, and the guide plate 21 and the motor connecting flange 18 are connected and fixed by the flange locking screw 19, and the simulated The drill rod 28 and the motor shaft are connected to each other through the motor coupling 16, and the two are fixed together through the coupling pin 17 to achieve synchronous rotation. At the same time, the servo motor increases the torque through the reducer, and transmits the torque of the motor to the diamond drill bit 29 through the simulated drill rod 28. During the drilling process, the simulated kettle end cover 30 can realize the drilling process in which the simulated drill rod 28 also rotates synchronously with the downward movement of the screen assembly 26. The overall device is connected through the kettle connecting column 24 and the simulated kettle end cover 30 to simulate the completion process after drilling. In addition, the diameter of the kettle connecting column 24 can be adjusted by adjusting the connecting column bolt 25, and then the size of the screen assembly 26, the simulated drill rod 28 and the diamond drill bit 29 can be adjusted to adapt to the combined drilling and completion simulation of drill strings of different diameters.
[0029] It should be noted that, in the process of the wellbore and the screen pipe moving downward at the same time, circulating fluid of the formation pressure can be injected into the wellbore through the positive and negative injection ports 34, so that the formation pressure is maintained in the wellbore and the screen pipe, and pressure-maintained drilling under formation conditions is achieved; when adjusting the pressure, the back pressure of the regulating back pressure valve 44 can be accurately adjusted by the back pressure regulating pump 45, and different pressures can be adjusted to simulate pressure reduction production; in the drilling process, by pressurizing the system to the formation conditions, a positive and negative injection port 34 is left in the wellbore, and by connecting the peripheral circulation pump and the circulation system pipeline (the positive and negative circulation pipeline 40), the pressure of the positive and negative circulation pipeline 40 is loaded to the formation pressure through the circulation pump 41, so as to simulate the pressure-maintained low-temperature reservoir formation process.
[0030] The implementation process of the present invention is as follows: Drilling process: After checking that the equipment is fully connected, the experimental operator turns on the servo motor 14 and sets appropriate speed and drilling pressure values to provide rotational motion. The reducer assembly 3 is connected to the ball screw 22 through the coupling 4 to convert the rotational motion into linear motion, which is transmitted to the wellbore and the screen assembly 26 for linear motion, thereby driving the screen assembly 26 to move up and down, realizing drilling and lowering the screen at the same time, and simulating the on-site drilling process in an integrated manner. During drilling, the experimental operator injects clean water 37 into the positive and negative injection ports 34 at the wellbore, so that when the water-sand mixture 48 passes through the filter kettle 46, the metal filter element 47 in the filter kettle 46 is used to filter out the solid particles in the water-sand mixture 48, and the water-sand mixture 48 is stirred evenly by the stirring paddle 43 in the stirring container 42, so that the evenly mixed water body is circulated to the subsequent pipeline to continue the positive and negative circulation. As the simulated drilling process proceeds, the circulating sewage is reversed and discharged from the screen assembly 26 to simulate the circulating discharge of the drilling fluid during drilling. It is worth noting that the water produced by the decomposition of hydrates in the wellbore will also enter the positive and negative circulation system and be recycled again.
[0031] Simulated completion process: When simulating the completion process after drilling, the experimental operator turns on the servo motor 14 and sets the appropriate speed value and drilling pressure value. The motor rotation drives the motor coupling 16 to drive the simulated drill pipe 28 to rotate, realizing synchronous rotation. At the same time, the servo motor torque is increased through the reducer assembly 3, and the torque of the motor is transmitted to the diamond drill bit 29 through the simulated drill pipe 28. In the simulated kettle end cover 30, the screen assembly 26 moves downward, and the simulated drill pipe 28 also maintains the synchronous rotation of the drilling process, driving the diamond drill bit 29 to break the simulated natural gas hydrate reservoir. At the same time, the wellbore and the screen assembly 26 are sealed by the O-ring seal, and the side wall of the screen assembly 26 is uniformly provided with a filter element anti-sand assembly 27 to prevent the intrusion of fine sand produced by the decomposition of natural gas hydrates, playing a role in sand prevention, simulating the completion process. The kettle body connecting column 24 is used to simulate the wellhead of on-site drilling in the formation. The device is connected to the kettle body through the connecting column bolts 25 and fixed to the simulated kettle body end cover 30 with a locking nut 31 to simulate the wellhead and completion structure.
[0032] Pressure reduction mining simulation process: This device mainly simulates pressure reduction mining, so the pressure adjustment in the circulation system pipeline connected to the wellbore is particularly important. Before starting, ensure that the throttle valve and one-way flow limiting valve in the circulation pipeline remain unobstructed. After the equipment is fully connected, the experimental operator uses the back pressure regulating pump 45 to accurately adjust the back pressure of the back pressure valve 44. Using a square tee arranged at the front end of the back pressure valve 44 in the forward and reverse circulation pipeline 40, the experimental operator can adjust the back pressure by adjusting the back pressure valve 44 to unload the excess pressure to the end of the pipeline, so as to maintain the pressure in the forward and reverse circulation pipeline stable. When the system back pressure is set at the formation pressure, the forward and reverse circulation system will be operated under the formation pressure condition, and the circulating fluid 36 will perform forward and reverse circulation. When mining is carried out, the circulating fluid 36 will stop circulating. At this time, the system maintains the formation pressure. The experimental operator gradually reduces the pressure by adjusting the back pressure regulating pump 45. After the pressure of the back pressure regulating pump 45 drops, the pressure of the back pressure valve 44 also drops. At this time, the pressure in the forward and reverse circulation pipeline 40 drops, causing the simulated hydrate to react in the direction of decomposition, releasing gas, water and solid gravel. The temperature in the wellbore can be increased by the heating device 49, and the hydrate degradation-promoting agent can be added through the agent injection port 50 to catalyze the decomposition of hydrates in the wellbore, thereby realizing the superposition of heating, pressure reduction and chemical injection to promote the accelerated decomposition of hydrates in the wellbore. The metal filter element 47 arranged on the side wall of the screen assembly 26 prevents the formation gravel brought by decomposition from being outside the screen assembly 26, ensuring that the pressure drops from the formation during the depressurization production process and the pressure drops toward the screen assembly 26. By controlling the pressure of the back pressure valve 44, the experimental operator can control the pressure in the wellbore and the screen assembly 26, thereby realizing the depressurization production simulation process of hydrates.
[0033] Parameter monitoring and collection: During the drilling process, completion process and drilling pressure adjustment process, the experimental operator can detect and collect the pressure in the system through the back pressure regulating pump 45, and use the sensor attached to the heating device 49 to monitor and collect real-time temperature data in the wellbore.
[0034] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention has at least the following technical effects: The present invention can simulate the pressure-maintaining drilling and completion process under the formation overburden pressure after the hydrate accumulation is more realistic; the drilling and production simulation technology is adopted to simulate the on-site drilling and production process in an integrated manner, and the screen pipe can be lowered while drilling, which can effectively simulate the continuous process on site; the simulated pressure-maintaining drilling process under formation conditions can be realized; by designing a positive and negative discharge circulation system, the migration, circulation and return flow process of the mud under the formation and the whole process of dynamic late pressure reduction production can be effectively simulated; through the independent control of dual motors, the synchronous coordination simulation of drilling and screen pipe lowering can be realized; through the positive and negative discharge circulation system, the back pressure valve system can be used to more effectively control the precise process of pressure reduction production under formation pressure; by designing an added heating device and a reagent injection port, in the simulated pressure reduction production process, the superimposed effects of heating, pressure reduction and chemical injection can be realized to promote the accelerated decomposition of hydrates in the wellbore; through the drilling and production simulation process, relevant basis can be effectively provided for sand prevention treatment in mining.
