Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of shale oil safe drilling technology, and more specifically, to a method for predicting shale oil wellbore collapse pressure. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, my country has discovered substantial shale oil reserves, primarily formed in organic-rich mudstone and shale formations within continental lacustrine basins, where reservoir geology is quite complex. Shale often contains clay minerals such as illite, illite-montmorillonite mixed layers, and montmorillonite, and also exhibits weak structural surfaces like bedding planes. Drilling fluids easily penetrate the formation, engaging in mechanical and chemical reactions with the wellbore, leading to a redistribution of wellbore stress and deterioration of rock strength. This frequently induces wellbore collapses during drilling, significantly increasing drilling time and costs, and hindering exploration and development.

[0003] Traditional collapse pressure studies often assume the formation is a continuous isotropic medium, resulting in a relative lack of systematic research on shale oil reservoirs that are hard, brittle, heterogeneous, and have well-developed bedding. For example, Chinese invention patent CN104806233A discloses a method for predicting the equivalent density window of collapse pressure in weak-plane formations. This method proposes the division of the wellbore into tight and fractured sections, and the testing of the mechanical strength of the rock matrix and fracture surfaces. Based on this, it conducts near-wellbore pore pressure and stress analysis using a fluid-structure interaction mean model, and determines the wellbore failure state and collapse pressure using strength criteria. Chinese invention patent CN113356843A discloses another method for predicting the equivalent density window of collapse pressure in weak-plane formations. This method collects formation isotropic pressure parameters and obtains formation rock constitutive parameters. Based on this, it combines the geostress state and wellbore stress model to achieve wellbore stability analysis under the coupling and synergy of multi-physics fields in mean formations, thereby assisting in the optimization of drilling parameters in oilfield operations. Chinese invention patent CN114526058A discloses a method and system for designing drilling collapse pressure. This method collects information on the target formation drilling type and wellbore circumference integrity, and obtains wellbore stress characteristics at different azimuths based on geostress information. Based on this, it statistically analyzes the proportion of the minimum safe wellbore area to the wellbore circumference during safe drilling operations, thereby calculating the drilling collapse pressure from the collapse pressure equivalent density, achieving the goal of reducing drilling fluid density and increasing safe drilling speed. Chinese invention patent CN113095593A provides a method, device, and equipment for determining drilling wellbore condition. It collects relevant data such as formation pressure, wellbore pressure, and drilling engineering parameters of the drilled section, and uses an intelligent learning algorithm to evaluate the wellbore condition of the drilled section, improving the reliability of the evaluation. Based on this, it predicts the wellbore condition evaluation parameters and risk prediction results for the un-drilled section below the drilled section. Chinese invention patent CN114547906A discloses a wellbore stability logging interpretation method for deep formations containing weak structural planes. By collecting logging data and actual drilling and completion data, it establishes formation pressure and stress profiles and determines the azimuth of the maximum horizontal principal stress, bedding dip angle, and strike. Based on this, a three-pressure profile is drawn. This method, based on conventional logging methods, considers the influence of bedding structural planes, improving prediction accuracy and effectively guiding safe and efficient drilling in deep and complex formations. Chinese invention patent CN111980667 discloses a quantitative evaluation method for the influence of anisotropy on shale wellbore collapse pressure. It obtains target well area stress parameters, bedding attitude, wellbore trajectory, and formation pressure in a known geodetic coordinate system, and measures the rock mechanical parameters of the rock body and fracture surfaces. Using coordinate transformation, the principal stresses are transferred to the wellbore perimeter and bedding planes. Combining the MC, MGC, ML, and MWC strength criteria, the critical collapse pressure at the wellbore perimeter is obtained using the MATLAB Newton iteration method.

[0004] In reality, wellbore collapse in shale oil reservoirs is a multi-factor coupled problem throughout the entire drilling cycle. Due to the low temperature of the drilling fluid in the wellbore, the shale oil reservoir undergoes heat transfer and temperature changes to the wellbore. Thermal stress leads to changes in the near-wellbore stress field. At the same time, capillary forces, the crystal structure of clay minerals, the difference in salinity between drilling fluid and formation fluid, and the pressure difference between bottom hole pressure and formation pressure can induce adsorption, hydration, diffusion, and permeation during shale oil drilling. This leads to changes in wellbore stress, formation fluid pressure, and rock strength. In addition, the bedding structure controls the direction of water absorption and seepage and the rate of strength degradation, which exacerbates wellbore collapse.

[0005] Therefore, existing technologies need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing shale oil wellbore collapse pressure prediction technologies by proposing a new method for predicting shale oil wellbore collapse pressure.
