Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas development drilling and completion engineering, and in particular to an experimental device and method for simulating shut-in water hammer pressure. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous growth of global energy demand, especially the rising consumption demand for oil and natural gas, the output of traditional shallow oil and gas fields has gradually decreased, and the development of deep oil and gas fields has become a key way to supplement energy supply. The development of deep oil and gas resources can effectively improve the stability of energy supply and reduce dependence on imported energy. Deep and ultra-deep geological conditions are more complex and unstable. Encountering sudden changes in faults, rock formations, or changes in pressure in groundwater layers will lead to instability of the well wall or leakage of oil and gas layers, thereby causing overflow or even blowout. After a blowout occurs, emergency measures can be taken to close the wellhead to prevent continuous oil and gas spraying and causing greater disasters. During the well closing process, the wellhead blowout preventer is subject to a certain amount of water hammer pressure. Affected by the upward rush of gas invading the annulus, the magnitude of the water hammer pressure will vary. If the water hammer pressure is too large, it may even cause the wellhead blowout preventer group to fail, ultimately leading to uncontrolled blowout and oil and gas leakage. It may also cause a series of catastrophic consequences such as fire, explosion, and environmental pollution, and even threaten the life safety of operators, causing huge economic losses.

[0003] At present, although there are some theoretical models and numerical simulation methods to describe the water hammer phenomenon, most models still have simplified assumptions and fail to fully consider various complex factors, such as non-uniform flow, fluid viscosity, and the impact of temperature changes on pressure waves. In the actual drilling process, the generation of water hammer pressure is often affected by the combined action of multiple factors. For example, the flow characteristics of the drilling fluid (such as viscosity, density, temperature), the design and operating status of the drill bit, etc. will affect the water hammer pressure. These simplifications make it difficult for existing models to fully and accurately predict the occurrence and impact of water hammer pressure in the actual drilling process.

[0059] In terms of experimental equipment, this application fully considers the development characteristics of deep formation pores and fractures, making the motion characteristics of gas-liquid two-phase flow after gas invasion in the experiment more realistic, ensuring that the experimental results have high practical significance and pertinence, and providing solid experimental data support for subsequent theoretical analysis and technical application. During the experimental test, the closing process of the gate blowout preventer 6 is highly consistent with the actual operation. The well closing operation is achieved by adjusting the gate in the gate blowout preventer 6, and the simulation of the process is highly consistent with the actual wellhead closure situation. Not only can the time and pressure of well closing be accurately controlled, but also the adjustment of various parameters in the experiment can be ensured to be consistent with the complex situation in the actual drilling operation. The calculation method of the pressure and gas invasion amount of gas invading the wellbore is converted according to the actual situation, so that the experimental test is highly consistent with the actual operation on site. In terms of parameter adjustment, this application has high flexibility in adjusting the experimental parameters, can test the well closing water hammer pressure under various conditions according to different drilling fluid displacement and fluid properties, can simulate the pressure changes and liquid properties that may be encountered in different drilling operations, and provide researchers with a highly adaptable and adjustable experimental platform. In terms of material costs, by using simple and easily accessible raw materials and equipment in the design and construction of the experimental device, efficient and low-cost experimental testing was successfully achieved. Compared with traditional experimental devices, it avoids the dependence on special processing materials and high-cost testing equipment, and fully considers the economy and operability in practical applications. By reasonably selecting basic materials and conventional equipment, not only the construction cost of the experimental device is significantly reduced, but also the efficiency and reliability of the experimental process are ensured, so that researchers can conduct experiments at a lower cost while ensuring the scientificity and accuracy of the experimental results.
