Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wellbore monitoring, and in particular to a wellbore cleaning monitoring system. Background Art

[0002] During the drilling process, the drilling fluid displacement is small during vertical well operation, resulting in poor cuttings carrying. The poor rheological properties of the drilling fluid are not conducive to the suspension of rock carrying, which can easily cause the wellbore to be unclean, resulting in repeated cutting of the drill bit, and causing adhesion and drill jamming, forming keyways and other accidents. When more complex drilling operations such as extended reach wells, high-angle wells, and horizontal wells are carried out in major oil and gas field operating areas, unclean wellbore will lead to increased operating risks and operating costs, and the stability of the wellbore will also deteriorate. While pursuing production capacity and benefits, facing the problem of rising development costs due to complex geological conditions, more and more people are paying attention to the value of ground data acquisition in real-time drilling optimization and real-time wellbore condition monitoring.

[0093] The cuttings return weighing device 501 is used to set the number of weighing modules and collect sensor signals of the weighing modules;

[0094] The cuttings return online weighing automatic control unit 502 is used to set the relevant acquisition parameters of the weighing module.

[0095] The wellbore status evaluation module 600 is composed as follows:

[0096] Wellbore cleaning monitoring and evaluation module 601, used for monitoring, displaying and evaluating the entire well section and instantaneous cuttings flow rate under abnormal rock carrying conditions;

[0097] The wellbore instability monitoring and evaluation module 602 is used for monitoring, displaying and evaluating the entire well section and instantaneous cuttings flow rate when the wellbore is in an unstable state.

[0098] The components of the wellbore cleaning monitoring and evaluation module 601 are as follows:

[0099] The whole well rock carrying anomaly monitoring unit 6011 is used for monitoring, displaying and evaluating the cuttings flow rate in the whole well section;

[0100] The instantaneous rock carrying anomaly monitoring unit 6012 is used for monitoring, displaying and evaluating the instantaneous rock cuttings flow;

[0103] The instantaneous wellbore instability monitoring unit 6022 is used for monitoring, displaying and evaluating the instantaneous cuttings flow rate.

[0104] The preventive correction module 700 is composed as follows:

[0105] The solid cuttings return rate is lower than expected for unit 701, which is used to infer cuttings deposition;

[0106] The solid cuttings return rate is slow unit 702, which is used to infer that the drilling fluid sand carrying index is lower than expected;

[0107] The solid cuttings return rate is higher than expected in cell 703, which is used to infer wellbore instability.

[0108] This embodiment installs a weighing module, i.e., a cuttings weighing instrument, at the vibrating screen at the drilling site to accurately measure the weight of solid cuttings, calculate the actual cuttings flow rate and the theoretical cuttings flow rate in real time, and quantitatively monitor the return of cuttings from the bottom of the well in combination with the on-site comprehensive logging data such as the well depth, the time of delay, and the drilling time, so as to evaluate the wellbore status, help engineering and technical personnel judge the wellbore cleanliness, ensure drilling safety, and be able to identify the difference between the expected value of the actual cuttings volume and the trend based on the drilling time and the drill bit diameter at an early stage, so as to take safe and timely preventive measures to correct the situation.

[0109] Wherein: the preventive correction module 700 includes a lower than expected solid cuttings return rate unit 701, a slower solid cuttings return rate unit 702, and a higher than expected solid cuttings return rate unit 703. According to the lower than expected solid cuttings return rate unit 701, it can be inferred that the cuttings are deposited, according to the slower solid cuttings return rate unit 702, it can be inferred that the drilling fluid sand carrying index is lower than expected, and according to the higher than expected solid cuttings return rate unit 703, it can be inferred that the wellbore is unstable. For example, according to the lower than expected solid cuttings return rate unit 701, it can be inferred that the cuttings are deposited. If it is not treated, it will increase the possibility of blockage and stuck. Once it is determined, the mitigation measures are: increase the density of the drilling fluid, pump in cleaning slurry or additives, enhance the rotation of the pipe string, or introduce a single column reciprocating motion at the connection, or extend the wellbore travel as appropriate. According to the slower solid cuttings return rate unit 702, it can be inferred that the drilling fluid sand carrying index is lower than expected, so it can be easily improved by optimizing the rheological properties of the drilling fluid such as drilling fluid density and gel. Based on the higher than expected solid cuttings return rate in unit 703, it can be inferred that the wellbore is unstable, resulting in unregulated open hole and wellbore collapse. It is important that all these solids are effectively circulated out of the wellbore to reduce the annular solids load, while managing the equivalent density of the drilling fluid to minimize further erosion of the wellbore.

[0110] In addition, the calculation and analysis module 300 includes a total cuttings flow calculation unit 301, a cuttings flow parameter calculation unit 302, an actual cuttings volume calculation and analysis unit 303, a theoretical cuttings volume calculation and analysis unit 304, a cuttings volume balance relationship calculation and analysis unit 305, and a cuttings return rate calculation and analysis unit 306, wherein the total cuttings flow calculation unit 301 is the sum of the cuttings flow rates measured by each measuring unit, and the number of measuring units is allocated according to the number of vibrating screens, and the cuttings flow parameter calculation unit 302 is used to compare with the actual cuttings flow rate.

[0111] During specific operations, when there is no cuttings bed or the wellbore wall is unstable, if the cuttings return rate of the column continues to increase, the number of pulls and circulation time will be increased accordingly to promote the timely return of cuttings or broken blocks; if there is a cuttings bed and the cuttings return rate of the column continues to decrease, it is necessary to carry out drilling operations to assist in breaking the cuttings bed. In the actual operation process, it is necessary to take technical measures for wellbore cleaning based on the on-site conditions to improve drilling efficiency and reduce downhole risks. In the specific construction process, before the column is pulled, circulated, and ready to continue drilling, the cuttings return rate of the column is used as a control indicator to evaluate the feasibility of the next column safe drilling, and establish a "one column, one cleaning" wellbore cleaning construction concept. The cuttings return rate of the column means that for each column drilled, a statistical analysis of the cuttings return rate of the column section is performed. From Fig. 9 It can be seen from the "Relationship between the column cuttings return rate and the average column drilling time" that in the horizontal section, when the drilling time is relatively fast, the drilling fluid rock carrying efficiency is certain, the cuttings and blocks are difficult to return in time, and the column cuttings return rate is insufficient. Comprehensively measuring the drilling time efficiency and the wellbore cleaning situation, when the column cuttings return rate is less than 80%, the wellbore cleaning is poor, and when the return rate is higher than 115%, there may be instability of the wellbore wall. When it is between the two, it is a safe drilling state.

[0112] The wellbore cleaning monitoring and evaluation module 601 includes a whole-well rock carrying anomaly monitoring unit 6011 and an instantaneous rock carrying anomaly monitoring unit 6012. The wellbore instability monitoring and evaluation module 602 includes a whole-wellbore instability monitoring unit 6021 and an instantaneous wellbore instability monitoring unit 6022. The whole-well rock carrying anomaly monitoring unit 6011 compares the data of the actual rock cuttings volume calculation and analysis unit 303 with the data of the theoretical rock cuttings volume calculation and analysis unit 304. When the actual rock cuttings volume is less than the theoretical rock cuttings volume, it is judged as a whole-well rock carrying anomaly. When the instantaneous rock carrying anomaly monitoring unit 6012 finds that the actual instantaneous rock cuttings flow rate is less than the theoretical instantaneous rock cuttings flow rate, it is judged as an instantaneous rock carrying anomaly. It should be noted that when the whole-well rock carrying anomaly monitoring unit 6011 finds that the actual rock cuttings volume is less than the theoretical rock cuttings volume, it is judged as the whole-well rock carrying anomaly, providing technical support for optimizing the wellbore cleaning processing time and plugging operations. When the actual instantaneous rock cuttings flow rate is less than the theoretical instantaneous rock cuttings flow rate in the instantaneous rock carrying anomaly monitoring unit 6012, it is judged as an instantaneous rock carrying anomaly. According to the relationship between the annular cuttings settling velocity and the drilling fluid return velocity, the rock carrying index model is corrected in real time to evaluate the rock carrying capacity of the drilling fluid, providing a basis for optimizing the drilling fluid performance.

[0113] In addition, the whole well wall instability monitoring unit 6021 compares the data of the actual cuttings volume calculation and analysis unit 303 and the theoretical cuttings volume calculation and analysis unit 304, and judges that the whole well wall is unstable when the actual cuttings volume is greater than the theoretical cuttings volume. The instantaneous well wall instability monitoring unit 6022 finds that the actual instantaneous cuttings flow rate is greater than the theoretical instantaneous cuttings flow rate, and judges the true and false cuttings in combination with geological logging observation. It should be noted that the whole well wall instability monitoring unit 6021 judges that the whole well wall is unstable when the actual cuttings volume is greater than the theoretical cuttings volume, providing technical support for optimizing drilling fluid performance and drilling parameters to prevent malignant well collapse. The instantaneous well wall instability monitoring unit 6022 judges the true and false cuttings in combination with geological logging observation when the actual instantaneous cuttings flow rate is greater than the theoretical instantaneous cuttings flow rate, and early diagnoses whether the well wall instability problem occurs, providing technical support for preventing block drop and drill jam.

For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes and modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to list all the embodiments here.
