In the process of in-situ heating and exploitation of shale oil, the ultra-high temperature (350℃-650℃) and high pressure (40MPa) of shale oil in-situ conversion wells have a great influence on the mechanical properties of cement sheath and oil casing, resulting in complex working conditions downhole, which poses a more severe challenge to the stability and integrity of the wellbore.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the third wellbore experimental device and the fourth wellbore experimental device are completed in advance;

[0061] The following operations are performed on the third wellbore experimental device and the fourth wellbore experimental device respectively:

[0062] A sealing top plate is placed on the top of the simulated formation of the wellbore experimental device for sealing, and a configured corrosive fluid is injected into the cement ring of the wellbore experimental device to obtain a third wellbore experimental device under corrosive conditions and a fourth wellbore experimental device under corrosive conditions.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, after obtaining the third wellbore experimental device under corrosion conditions and the fourth wellbore experimental device under corrosion conditions, the method further includes:

[0064] Connecting the pressure pump to the third wellbore experimental device and sealing the third wellbore experimental device;

[0065] Pressurize the sealed wellbore test device to test the cement sheath sealing strength under normal temperature and corrosion conditions;

[0066] After measuring the cement sheath isolation strength under normal temperature and corrosion conditions, the loading pressure head is placed on the third wellbore experimental device, and the load amount of the loading pressure head is changed to determine the bonding strength of the cement sheath under normal temperature and corrosion conditions.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, after obtaining the cement sheaths of the third wellbore test device and the fourth wellbore test device under corrosion conditions, the method further includes:

[0068] Connecting the pressure pump to the fourth wellbore experimental device, placing the electric heating rod in the heating system in the casing of the fourth wellbore experimental device, and sealing the fourth wellbore experimental device;

[0069] The sealed fourth wellbore experimental device was heated to test the cement sheath isolation strength under different temperatures and corrosion conditions;

[0070] After measuring the cement sheath sealing strength under different temperatures and corrosion conditions, the loading pressure head is placed on the fourth wellbore experimental device, and the load amount of the loading pressure head is changed to determine the bonding strength of the cement sheath under different temperatures and corrosion conditions.

[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, a cement sheath stress model under multi-factor conditions is established:

[0072] Based on the casing-cement sheath-formation model, combined with the coupling conditions of multiple factors, Hooke's law, volume strain caused by thermal stress and pore pressure, the constitutive equation of cement sheath is established as follows:

[0073]

[0074] In the formula, σ ij is the cement sheath stress tensor, G is the shear elastic modulus, μ is the Poisson's ratio, △T is the temperature change, δ ij is the Kronecker symbol, θ is the volume strain, ε ij is the strain tensor, p is the pressure inside the pipe, α is the Biot coefficient of the cement sheath, and ω is the thermoelastic effective stress coefficient of the cement sheath.

[0075] To judge the failure of cement ring seal, the cement ring material is simplified to an ideal elastic-plastic material, and the Mohr-Coulomb criterion is used to describe the plastic behavior of the material:

[0076]

[0077] σ1, σ2, and σ3 are the axial stresses obtained from the triaxial test, in MPa; is the internal friction angle of rock and soil, in degrees; C is the cohesion of cement sheath, in MPa. The decrease in cement sheath strength caused by acidic gas corrosion can be expressed by the changes in the internal friction angle and cohesion of cement paste.

[0078] The sealing performance of cement sheath is mainly composed of three microscopic forces: capillary pressure in cement stone, fluid flow resistance in cement stone, and hydrostatic pressure of free water in cement stone.

[0079] Analyze the stress of the fluid in the pores of the cement sheath. Assuming the pressure difference between the upper and lower ends of the cement sheath is P1-P2, the hydrostatic pressure of free water is G, the fluid flow resistance is f, and the interface capillary pressure is Pc, the flow pressure difference expression is:

[0080]

[0081] The ultimate dynamic shear stress of the fluid is τ0, the average void radius is r, the density of water is ρ, and the length of the cement segment is y. PC is related to factors such as the fluid interfacial tension, the pore diameter, and the wetting angle.

[0082] The compressive stress on the cement sheath in the radial direction increases, and it is subjected to additional shear stress in the tangential direction. Since the tensile strength of the cement sheath is much smaller than its compressive strength, the cement sheath fails mainly in the form of tangential tensile failure.

[0083] P1S 环 ≤μ(P2+P3)S 胶

[0084] P1 is the cement sheath shear force, P2 and P3 are the external squeeze loads of the formation and casing, and μ is the friction coefficient of the cementing surface. When the cement sheath shear stress is greater than the friction force of the cementing surface, the cementing interface slips and the cement sheath is sheared and damaged. At the macro level, the integrity failure of the cement sheath can be judged based on the isolation capacity and cementing strength as evaluation indicators.

[0085] Based on the above analysis, experimental tests were carried out according to orthogonal experimental design. The experimental orthogonal factors included temperature, pressure, corrosion conditions, load, and cementing cement. The experimental evaluation indicators were cement sheath plugging ability and cement sheath bonding strength.

[0086] For the full-scale wellbore structure experimental test unit, the following experimental steps can be performed according to the orthogonal experiment:

[0087] S400: prefabricate a first wellbore experimental device, a second wellbore experimental device, a third wellbore experimental device, and a fourth wellbore experimental device;

[0088] S410: Connecting the pressure pump to the first wellbore experimental device, and sealing the first wellbore experimental device;

[0089] S420: pressurizing the sealed wellbore test device through a pressure pump to measure the cement sheath sealing strength at room temperature;

[0090] S430: placing the electric heating rod in the heating system in the casing of the second wellbore experimental device and connecting it to the pressure pump;

[0091] S440: After the heating rod reaches a predetermined temperature, the heated second wellbore experimental device is pressurized by a pressure pump to measure the cement sheath isolation strength at the predetermined temperature;

[0092] S450: placing a loading pressure head on the third wellbore experimental device, and determining the bonding strength of the cement sheath at room temperature by changing the load of the loading pressure head;

[0093] S460: placing a loading pressure head on the fourth wellbore experimental device, setting the electric heating rod in the heating system in the casing of the fourth wellbore experimental device, and determining the bonding strength of the cement sheath at different temperatures by changing the load amount of the loading pressure head for the heated fourth wellbore experimental device.

[0094] In an exemplary embodiment, the method for testing the integrity of the cement sheath in a shale oil in-situ conversion well further includes testing the sealing strength of the cement sheath under corrosive conditions, as follows:

[0095] Step 11, pre-completing the fifth wellbore experimental device;

[0096] Step 12: Place the sealing top plate on the top of the simulated formation of the wellbore experimental device for sealing, and inject the configured corrosive fluid into the cement ring of the wellbore experimental device to obtain the cement ring of the fifth wellbore experimental device under corrosive conditions.

[0097] Step 13, connecting the pressure pump to the fifth wellbore experimental device, and sealing the fifth wellbore experimental device;

[0098] Step 14: pressurize the sealed wellbore experimental device to test the cement sheath sealing strength under normal temperature and corrosion conditions;

[0099] Step 15: After measuring the cement sheath isolation strength at room temperature, the fifth wellbore experimental device is heated, and the cement sheath isolation strength under a predetermined temperature and corrosion condition is tested.

[0100] In an exemplary embodiment, the test method for the integrity of the cement sheath in the shale oil in-situ conversion well further includes testing the bonding strength of the cement sheath under corrosive conditions, as follows:

[0101] Step 21, pre-completing the sixth wellbore experimental device;

[0102] Step 22: Place the sealing top plate on the top of the simulated formation of the wellbore experimental device for sealing, and inject the configured corrosive fluid into the cement ring of the wellbore experimental device to obtain the cement ring of the sixth wellbore experimental device under corrosive conditions.

[0103] Step 23, placing a loading pressure head on the sixth wellbore experimental device, and determining the bonding strength of the cement sheath under normal temperature and corrosion conditions by changing the load of the loading pressure head;

[0104] Step 24, setting the electric heating rod in the heating system in the casing of the sixth wellbore experimental device, and determining the bonding strength of the cement sheath under the predetermined temperature and corrosion conditions of the heated sixth wellbore experimental device by changing the load amount of the loading pressure head.

[0105] In an exemplary embodiment, the cement sheath bonding strength calculation formula is

[0106] S=F / πDH

[0107] Where: S is the interface bonding strength, in MPa, F is the maximum pressure when the interface is damaged, in N, D is the diameter of the simulated casing, in mm, and H is the length of the contact part between the simulated casing and cement, in mm.

[0108] In an exemplary embodiment, based on the original scale wellbore structure experimental test unit, the integrity failure judgment experiment of the cement sheath can be realized at the macro level, where the two evaluation indicators are mainly based on the isolation capacity and the cementing strength. At the micro level, the cement sheath core simulation test unit is used to test the integrity failure judgment experiment of the cement sheath, where the evaluation indicator is mainly based on the isolation capacity.

[0109] Specifically, the process of testing the integrity of the cement sheath using the cement sheath core simulation test unit is as follows:

[0110] The first step is to load the core into the holder, connect the six-way valve and the pressure pump to the cement ring core experimental device and the holder confining pressure device to test the sealing capacity of the cement ring core;

[0111] Step 2: Place the holder in the heating system. After heating to the test temperature, connect the six-way valve and the pressure pump to the experimental device and the holder confining pressure device to test the sealing capacity of the cement ring core at the predetermined temperature.

[0112] The third step is to test the isolation capacity of the wellbore, open the valves of the injector and the corrosive gas (such as CO2 cylinder), control the contact between the corrosive fluid and the cement ring core, reconnect the pipeline, and use the pressure pump to increase the pressure to test the isolation capacity of the cement ring core under corrosive conditions.

[0113] Furthermore, the wellbore is placed in a high-temperature heating box to apply a temperature load. After heating to a certain temperature, the pipeline is reconnected and a pressure pump is used to increase the pressure to test the sealing capacity of the wellbore cement ring core at a predetermined temperature.

[0114] After testing the wellbore isolation capacity, open the injector and corrosive gas valve to control the contact between the corrosive fluid and the cement ring core, reconnect the pipeline, and use the pressure pump to increase the pressure to test the isolation capacity of the wellbore cement ring core under the predetermined temperature and corrosive conditions.

[0115] The cement sheath isolation capacity test is carried out through the cement sheath core simulation test unit, which can be correlated with the cement sheath isolation capacity test results obtained by the macroscopic original scale wellbore structure experimental test unit to mutually verify the rationality of the experimental parameters.

[0116] Example 1

[0117] This example demonstrates the full-scale wellbore structure experimental testing method, including the following steps:

[0118] Step 1: Prepare multiple wellbore experimental devices according to experimental requirements;

[0119] In this step, a shale oil in-situ conversion well is selected, and a wellbore experimental device of an original-scale simulated wellbore test unit is manufactured according to the actual parameters of the well;

[0120] Specific size parameters include:

[0121] Inner pipe string: 127 (5in) casing, 500mm long, 9.19mm thick, welded and sealed at both ends, closed plate;

[0122] Outer pipe string: inner diameter 152.4-200.03 (170) mm, length 500 mm;

[0123] End cover fastening bolt: M12*1.75;

[0124] Pressure test hole M10*1.5;

[0125] Eyelet hole M14*2;

[0126] A is the pressure test hole;

[0127] C is the eyelet hole.

[0128] Step 2: Place the casing in the simulated formation model, pour the cement slurry prepared as required into the annulus between the formation and the wellbore, seal the bottom to ensure the quality of the experimental cementing, and maintain it for 7 days under certain temperature conditions.

[0129] In this step, cement slurry adopts cement slurry specially used for thermal recovery wells.

[0130] Step 3, measuring the cement sheath sealing strength at room temperature;

[0131] The first wellbore experimental device was sealed, and the pressure was gradually increased at a rate of 0.05 MPa / s to observe the pressure changes in the wellbore. The pressure acquisition system in the wellbore was used to record the pressure change characteristics, and the cement sheath sealing strength at room temperature was measured.

[0132] Step 4, testing the cement sheath sealing strength at a predetermined temperature;

[0133] To test the effect of high temperature conditions on the sealing capacity of the cement sheath, the second wellbore experimental device was placed in a high-temperature heating box to apply a temperature load, and the cement sheath sealing strength at different temperatures was tested repeatedly according to step 3.

[0134] Step 5, measuring the bonding strength of the cement sheath at room temperature;

[0135] Here, the third wellbore test device that has not been tested can be used, or the first wellbore test device can be used to test the cement sheath isolation strength at room temperature before conducting the test in this step. Take the third wellbore test device that has not been tested as an example:

[0136] First, the third wellbore test device is placed on a pressure testing machine, which can be set to a loading rate of 5KN / s.

[0137] Then, the pressure head is loaded onto the cement sheath of the third wellbore experimental device, and the load is gradually increased until the load curve changes suddenly (suddenly decreases). The pressure load at this time is the cement sheath bond failure load. Compared with the material properties of the casing and cementing cement slurry, the material properties of the simulated formation and cementing cement slurry are less different, and the first interface is more easily damaged.

[0138] Finally, the test load of the cement sheath bonding strength at room temperature was recorded, as shown in Table 1, and the data parameters such as the cement sheath bonding area were measured, and the cement sheath bonding strength was obtained by calculation.

[0139] The calculation formula of cement sheath bond strength is:

[0140] S=F / πDH

[0141] Where: S is the interface bonding strength, in MPa, F is the maximum pressure when the interface is damaged, in N, D is the diameter of the simulated casing, in mm, and H is the length of the contact part between the simulated casing and cement, in mm.

[0142] Step 6, measuring the bonding strength of the cement ring at high temperature;

[0143] Here, the fourth wellbore test device that has not been tested can be used, or the second wellbore test device can be used to test the cement sheath isolation strength at high temperature before conducting the test in this step. Take the fourth wellbore test device that has not been tested as an example:

[0144] Place the fourth wellbore experimental device on the pressure testing machine, turn on the pressure testing machine and set the loading rate to 5KN / s.

[0145] The pressure head is loaded onto the cement sheath of the fourth wellbore experimental device, and the load is gradually increased until the load curve changes suddenly (suddenly decreases). The pressure load at this time is the cement sheath bond failure load. The test loads of the cement sheath bond strength at different temperatures are recorded, as shown in Table 1. The cement sheath bond area and other data parameters are measured, and the cement sheath bond strength is obtained by calculation.

[0151] Example 2

[0152] This example demonstrates the method of testing the sealing capacity of cement ring by core simulation of cement ring. The cement ring core simulation test unit is used. The specific experimental structure is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, connect the experimental equipment. The specific experimental process is as follows:

[0153] Step 1: prepare the corresponding cementing slurry system according to relevant requirements;

[0154] Step 2: Pour cement slurry into the core mold, cure it under certain temperature conditions for 7 days, and then use a core drill to take the core. The core size is 25mm inner diameter and 8-10cm high.

[0155] Step 3: Load the core into the holder, connect the six-way valve and the pressure pump pipeline to the holder and the confining pressure generating device, drain the water and observe the pool device, etc.

[0156] Step 4: Gradually increase the pressure at a rate of 0.05 MPa / s to observe the changes in bubbles in the pool, and record the pressure change characteristics and the characteristics of the bubbles in the pool.

[0157] In this step, the core isolation capacity of the cement sheath can be quantitatively determined based on the amount and speed of bubble generation.

[0158] Step 5: Place the wellbore in a high-temperature heating box to apply temperature load. After heating to the test temperature, reconnect the pipeline and repeat the test of the wellbore isolation capacity according to steps 3 and 4.

[0159] Step 6: Open the valves of the injector and the corrosive gas (such as CO2) cylinder to control the contact between the corrosive fluid and the cement sheath core, then repeat steps 3 and 4, record the test load, as shown in Table 2, and measure the cement sheath isolation capacity.

[0163] In this embodiment, the experimental test is carried out according to the orthogonal experimental design, and the experimental orthogonal factors include temperature, pressure, corrosion conditions, load, and cementing cement. The experimental evaluation indicators are the cement sheath plugging ability and cement sheath bonding strength. By testing the cement sheath sealing performance and bonding strength under different temperature, pressure and other conditions, it can be obtained:

[0164] 1. The sealing capacity and bonding strength of cement sheath gradually decrease with the increase of temperature and pressure. Temperature factor is the main influencing factor. When the temperature exceeds 350℃, the wellbore integrity performance decreases significantly.

[0165] 2. The sealing capacity of cement ring gradually decreases with the increase of acid gas corrosion concentration, and the increase in temperature will aggravate the degree of corrosion.

[0166] 3. The use of special cement slurry for thermal recovery wells can improve the cement sheath sealing strength under high temperature conditions.
