Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field drilling and cementing, in particular to foamed quick-drying cement slurry and a preparation method and application thereof, and in particular to application of a foamed quick-drying cement slurry system in treating shallow layer leakage. Background Art

[0002] In oil and gas well engineering, conventional cementing operations are to effectively seal the annular space between the casing string lowered into the well and the formation or outer casing through cementing working fluid to prevent reservoir damage and ensure safe and efficient production of oil and gas. In the process of drilling and completing complex oil and gas wells, cementing operations are also an important means to solve complex downhole working conditions.

[0003] In wells with drilling fluid leakage, the loss of drilling fluid will cause adverse effects such as drilling fluid waste, well wall instability, and reservoir damage. Usually, plugging drilling fluid is used to plug the leak, or conventional cementing cement slurry is pumped into the well to form a cement plug for plugging. This technology has a certain effect on the treatment of wells with low drilling fluid leakage rate, but for wells with large leakage and low formation pressure bearing capacity, this method requires a very low density of drilling fluid or cementing cement slurry, and conventional cementing cement slurry cannot meet the requirements. For the complex situation of high leakage wells, another method is to lower tools such as expansion pipes into the well and plug the leak at the leakage point through the expansion pipe, but this method is costly, the construction process is complicated, and the construction effect is not ideal.

[0004] In shallow wells with high leakage, the amount of drilling fluid loss is large, and there is even drilling fluid loss, which causes the wellbore to become unstable and collapse, seriously affecting drilling safety and seriously increasing the time required for single well construction. In addition, wells with high leakage rates have high requirements for cement slurry thickening time. If the thickening time is long, the cement slurry will leak or be washed away by the formation fluid, and it will be impossible to form cement stone near the wellbore and seal the leakage layer. The density of drilling fluid is close to 1g / cm 3 There is still a large amount of leakage, and conventional plugging methods cannot be implemented. The cost of expansion pipe plugging technology is high. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a low-density, fast-thickening cement slurry system and plugging method to solve the complex working conditions of shallow surface leakage. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the drilling problems of shallow surface drilling fluid leakage and well wall collapse in the prior art, and to provide a foamed quick-drying cement slurry and its preparation method and application. The foamed quick-drying cement slurry of the present invention can quickly thicken and plug the leakage layer, and the foamed quick-drying cement slurry system formed has a density lower than that of water, and can be used to treat shallow surface leakage.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the first aspect of the present invention provides a foamed quick-drying cement slurry, wherein the foamed quick-drying cement slurry system is obtained by filling gas into the quick-drying cement slurry; the quick-drying cement slurry comprises: 100 parts by weight of quick-drying cement, 6-14 parts by weight of thickener A, 0.1-1 parts by weight of thickener B, 0.1-0.4 parts by weight of toughening agent, 2-8 parts by weight of fluid loss reducer, 1-10 parts by weight of retarder and 35-60 parts by weight of water.

[0007] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a foamed quick-drying cement slurry system, the preparation method comprising the following steps:

[0008] (1) mixing 100 parts by weight of quick-drying cement, 6-14 parts by weight of thickener A, 0.1-1 parts by weight of thickener B and 0.1-0.4 parts by weight of toughening agent to obtain a solid mixture;

[0009] (2) mixing 2-8 parts by weight of a fluid loss reducer, 1-10 parts by weight of a retarder, and 35-60 parts by weight of water to obtain slurry preparation water;

[0010] (3) mixing the solid mixture with the slurry preparation water to obtain a quick-drying cement slurry;

[0011] (4) The quick-drying cement slurry is mixed with 0.5-1 parts by weight of a foaming agent and 0.3-0.6 parts by weight of a foam stabilizer, and then aerated to obtain a foamed quick-drying cement slurry system.

[0012] The third aspect of the present invention provides the use of the foamed quick-drying cement slurry system described in the first aspect or the foamed quick-drying cement slurry system prepared by the preparation method described in the second aspect in oil field cementing.

[0013] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a method for controlling shallow surface leakage in oil and gas wells, the method comprising:

[0014] The foamed quick-drying cement slurry system described in the first aspect or the foamed quick-drying cement slurry system prepared by the preparation method described in the second aspect is transported to the leaking formation to displace the drilling fluid in the original well and return it to the well or go down into the leaking formation to plug the leak.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the beneficial technical effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:

[0016] (1) The quick-drying cement slurry of the present invention has a short thickening time and can be thickened to form cement stone with a certain strength during the cement slurry pumping process and the flow process in the leakage layer, thereby achieving the effect of plugging the leakage layer.

[0017] (2) The foamed quick-drying cement slurry system of the present invention has a low density. For wells with shallow surface leakage that results in drilling fluid loss, the foamed quick-drying cement slurry system has a density lower than that of water, which can reduce the bottom hole pressure and prevent leakage. It can stay in the leakage layer and the wellbore for a long time to form cement stone of a certain strength, which can not only seal the leakage layer, but also solidify the wellbore wall in the wellbore and control the collapse of the wellbore wall.

[0018] (3) The present invention combines the characteristics of foam cementing technology and proposes to use quick-drying cement slurry to shorten the cement thickening time, reduce the density of the cement slurry system by aeration, so as to seal the leakage layer and consolidate the unstable and collapsed wellbore wall, solve the complex problems of shallow drilling and completion, and construct a cementing method for shallow leakage well management, so as to provide technical support for reducing the drilling cycle and cost of shallow leakage wells.

[0019] (4) The strength of cement paste formed by the foamed quick-drying cement slurry system of the present invention is lower than that of cement paste formed by the conventional foamed cement slurry system, and it is easier to remove plugs. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0125] (4) Inject cement slurry into the well through the pipeline. Before the cement slurry reaches the leakage zone, the pumping rate in the pipeline is 0.8m 3 / min, after the cement slurry reaches the leakage layer, adjust the pumping rate to 0.4m 3 / min.

[0126] (5) Observe the changes in the pumping pressure of the pipeline. When the pumping pressure rises slowly and the increase reaches 2MPa, stop pumping cement slurry. When the total amount of pumping reaches 35m 3 . Pump 1m 3 Flush the pipeline with clean water and shut down the well for freezing.

[0127] (6) After the well was shut down for 24 hours, the well was opened to clean the plug. After the drill bit drilled through the cement plug at the leakage layer, the drilling fluid returned to the surface, and the cement slurry treatment of shallow surface leakage was completed. The results are shown in Table 2.
