Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drilling engineering, and in particular to a method and system for calculating wellbore pressure under temperature-pressure coupling and low shear rate. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of the exploration and development of medium and shallow oil and gas, the difficulty of oil and gas discovery is increasing. Deep and even ultra-deep oil and gas resources have become an important part of the energy structure. Therefore, effective drilling and production of deep oil and gas resources can alleviate the existing oil and gas shortage problem to a large extent. Effective drilling and production of deep oil and gas resources can alleviate the existing oil and gas shortage problem to a large extent. However, the geological environment of deep oil and gas is complex during drilling and production, and leakage and overflow phenomena occur frequently, resulting in a long drilling and completion cycle for a single well and high well construction costs. Accurate prediction and control of wellbore pressure during drilling and completion is a prerequisite for solving complex problems. During drilling, 127mm drill pipe is often used to transmit torque and drilling pressure to break the rock and continuously deepen the wellbore. When drilling into the designed well depth, casing and cementing operations are usually required to ensure the long-term integrity of the wellbore. During the drilling process, the outer diameter of the drill pipe is small, the annular space formed with the well wall is large, and the flow friction formed is also small; after the casing is lowered, the casing size is large, and the annular space gap formed with the well wall is also small, which makes the flow friction formed larger. The annular circulation friction is proportional to the flow velocity. The greater the flow velocity, the greater the circulation friction. In order to reduce the excessive circulation pressure in the deep well cementing wellbore caused by formation leakage, the accurate calculation technology of the wellbore pressure of the fluid under low return rate conditions under the deep well temperature and pressure coupling needs to be tackled urgently.

[0003] The existing technology has at least the following deficiencies:

[0004] 1. The return velocity of deep well cementing fluid is low, which means that the shear stress received by the fluid when it is stirred is small. The rheological parameters of the fluid fitted by the existing conventional 6-speed rotary viscometer result in a large error in the calculated cyclic friction resistance.

[0005] 2. The significant effect of temperature on fluid rheology is not considered. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to determine the critical shear rate of the fluid in the wellbore in combination with the wellbore size, construction displacement and fluid performance. The present invention combines the test data of the fluid under low shear rate conditions to fit the rheological parameters of the fluid under low shear rate; on this basis, combined with the influence of fluid temperature and pressure on the rheological parameters of the fluid, a calculation model of the rheological parameters of the fluid under temperature and pressure conditions is established, and according to the fluid circulation friction pressure drop calculation equation, a calculation model of the wellbore circulation friction of the fluid under low return rate is obtained. The present invention provides a key reference method for the accurate calculation of the wellbore pressure of the fluid under low return rate conditions under deep well temperature and pressure coupling, and ultimately reduces the occurrence of complex situations such as leakage and overflow during drilling and completion of deep narrow safety density window formations.
