Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of oil and gas engineering technology, and in particular to an adjacent well tubular column excitation method and system. Background Art
[0002] Complex structure wells are advanced well types for developing oil and gas resources such as low permeability, shale oil and gas, and tight oil and gas. In the process of drilling complex wells, once a blowout accident occurs, emergency rescue must be carried out to reduce the huge losses caused by the accident. In order to effectively achieve the purpose of extinguishing the fire of oil and gas wells or controlling the blowout, the purpose of drilling the rescue well is to pump the well-killing fluid into the accident well where the blowout occurred. Accurately controlling the directional drilling trajectory of the rescue well so that it can reach the target area close enough to the accident well, or even geometrically intersect with the trajectory of the accident well, has an important impact on the success of the rescue well, and poses severe technical challenges to the measurement and control of the wellbore trajectory. Before the emergence of magnetic guidance drilling technology, it was often necessary to drill multiple rescue wells, and success was possible only after repeated attempts. At the same time, magnetic guidance technology can also be widely used in directional drilling projects such as dual horizontal wells and cluster well collision prevention. Active magnetic guidance technology can ensure the sealing of key parts of abandoned wells and completely seal the wellbore to prevent gas leakage and unnecessary fluid flow by drilling wells to connect abandoned wells in depleted oil and gas reservoirs. This process effectively creates a confined space around the abandoned well to store gas.
[0003] The existing method for measuring the wellbore position is to measure the well depth, well inclination and azimuth at multiple measuring points at different well depths and obtain them by combining a specific calculation method. Specifically, during the drilling process, an inclinometer or other measuring tools are regularly used to measure the wellbore in real time or regularly. The measurement content includes well depth, well inclination, azimuth, and measuring tool position.
[0004] However, the positions of each measuring point in the well obtained by the existing borehole position measurement method are based on the position of the previous measuring point. Therefore, the measurement error of a certain measuring point is the accumulation of the measurement errors of all measuring points in the upper well section. This cumulative error cannot be ignored, which makes the conventional borehole position measurement method unsuitable for drilling projects of complex wells where the relative positions of adjacent wells need to be finely controlled. Therefore, how to avoid the problem that the cumulative error in the existing borehole position measurement method has a great impact on the borehole position measurement results? A method for exciting the adjacent well string that is suitable for the actual situation of the drilling site is proposed to provide a signal source for the precise measurement and control of the relative positions of adjacent wells.

[0060] The above drawings have shown clear embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail later. These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0061] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0062] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for exciting a pipe string in an adjacent well provided in this application. In specific implementation, the method includes the following steps:
[0063] S101: The ground power supply device applies electric potential to the underground leakage system and the surface leakage system of the first drilling well respectively; wherein the applied electric potential generates an alternating current flowing up and down at the current dividing point of the casing of the second drilling well through the formation, and the alternating current excites an alternating induced magnetic field around the casing.
[0064] The first wellbore is a well being drilled; the second wellbore is a well that has been drilled (a well containing casing), or a well being drilled that contains casing.
[0065] Reference Figure 2 , the potential generated by the ground power supply device 1 can be applied to the formation through the downhole leakage system in the first wellbore 2, and the potential in the formation can generate an alternating current on the casing 4 of the second wellbore 3. The first wellbore 2 can be a drilling well, which does not contain casing or drill pipe, and the second wellbore 3 can be a drilled well, and the second wellbore 3 can also be a drilling well, which contains casing or drill pipe.
[0066] Optionally, in order to generate a sufficient electromagnetic field to penetrate the formation and affect the measuring equipment in the adjacent well, the ground power supply device 1 can apply a high potential to ensure the strength and penetration of the electromagnetic signal. In order to match the high potential, the ground power supply device 1 can apply a high voltage to further enhance the strength of the electromagnetic field, so that the signal can propagate farther and more clearly in the underground medium. The ground power supply device 1 can apply a low-frequency square wave voltage to ensure the slowness of the signal change and the smoothness of the waveform. For example, the square wave voltage is as follows: Figure 2 Schematic diagram of square wave in the upper left center. Low-frequency square wave signals can better adapt to complex underground geological structures and reduce signal distortion, thereby providing more accurate and reliable measurement results. The ground power supply device 1 can significantly increase the strength and penetration of the electromagnetic field by increasing power, so that the signal can cover the target area more effectively. Due to the high voltage and low frequency design, the changes in electromagnetic signals in the underground medium can be accurately measured and recorded at a longer distance.
[0067] In the complex geological structure underground, too fast signal changes may cause signal distortion or attenuation during propagation, while low-frequency square wave signals can ensure smoother signal propagation. Square wave signals contain more high-order harmonic components, and compared with pure sine waves, square waves have more frequency components in the spectrum. This enables square waves to provide stronger signal components when penetrating underground media, thereby enhancing signal penetration.
[0068] In some embodiments, a downhole leakage current system may include a first insulating cable, a first insulating component and a downhole leakage current sub; applying the electric potential generated by a ground power supply device to the formation via the downhole leakage current system in a first wellbore may include: transmitting the electric potential generated by the ground power supply device to the downhole leakage current sub via the first insulating cable and the first insulating component in sequence; and applying the electric potential to the formation using the downhole leakage current sub.
[0069] By transmitting the electric potential generated by the ground power supply device to the underground leakage short joint via the first insulating cable and the first insulating component in sequence, and using the underground leakage short joint to apply the electric potential to the formation, on the one hand, a foundation is laid for forming a current loop, and on the other hand, the first insulating cable and the first insulating component can prevent the current on the underground leakage short joint from flowing axially on the insulating cable and the insulating component to generate an axial induced magnetic field when the current loop is subsequently formed.
[0070] Reference Figure 2 The downhole leakage current system may include a first insulating cable 7, a first insulating assembly 8 and a downhole leakage current short section 9. Figure 3The first insulated cable 7 can be a 7-core cable, and the first insulated cable 7 can be soft copper stranded wire 15, insulating layer 16, semi-conductive filling layer 17, inner armored steel wire 18, outer armored steel wire 19 and outer insulating layer 20 from inside to outside. The first insulated cable 7 can withstand large tension and prevent the current from flowing axially on the cable to generate a secondary induced magnetic field to interfere with the measurement results of the downhole probe. It should be noted that all the insulated cables involved in this application include an electromagnetic shielding layer.
[0071] In some embodiments, the first insulating assembly may include an insulating nipple, a bridle, a torpedo quick plug, and an insulating locker. The insulating nipple, the bridle, the torpedo quick plug, and the insulating locker may be sequentially connected to form the first insulating assembly.
[0072] Reference Figure 4 , the first insulating component 8 may include an insulating short section 81, a bridle 82, a torpedo quick plug 83 and a locker 84. The insulating short section 81, the bridle 82, the torpedo quick plug 83 and the insulating locker 84 may be connected in sequence to form the first insulating component 8. Insulating short section 81. The insulating short section 81 has good electrical properties, sufficient mechanical strength and stability, can withstand the voltage and current during normal operation of the equipment, can ensure that no corona, flashover and other phenomena occur, and can withstand vibration and impact during operation. The insulating short section 81 has good aging resistance and can operate stably under different environmental conditions, including high temperature, low temperature, humidity, salt spray, chemical corrosion and other environmental factors. The torpedo quick plug 83 facilitates the connection of the first insulating cable 7 with the cable winch, which can improve the installation efficiency. The first insulating component 8 facilitates the connection of the downhole leakage short section 9 and the downhole probe with the first insulating cable 7, which can avoid the current flowing axially on the first insulating cable 7 to generate a secondary induced magnetic field to interfere with the measurement results of the downhole probe.
[0073] In some embodiments, the downhole leakage sub comprises a rigid tubular leakage sub.
[0074] The underground leakage short joint 9 may include a rigid tubular leakage short joint. Figure 5 The underground leakage short section 9 can be a rigid tubular leakage short section with high temperature resistance and pressure resistance of more than 1000V, and both ends are threadedly connected with the insulating component; the rigid tubular leakage short section has high conductivity and corrosion resistance, can output a volt-level AC signal and is easy to install and lower into the drilling fluid of the first drilling well 2. The rigid electrode is easy to install and lower into the well.
[0075] In some embodiments, one end of the first insulating cable can be connected to the upper part of the downhole leakage short section through a torpedo quick plug in the first insulating assembly, and the other end can be connected to the cable winch through a torpedo quick plug.
[0076] Reference Figure 6 One end of the first insulating cable 7 can be connected to the upper part of the downhole leakage short section 9 through the torpedo quick plug 83 in the first insulating assembly 8, and the other end can be connected to the cable winch through the torpedo quick plug. The cable winch can be connected to the ground power supply device 1 and lowered into the first drilling well 2. The cable winch can facilitate the storage and use of the cable, the torpedo quick plug can facilitate the connection of the cable to the cable winch, and improve the installation efficiency. The insulating assembly facilitates the connection of the downhole leakage short section and the downhole probe with the insulating cable, and can also prevent the current from flowing axially on the cable to generate a secondary induced magnetic field that interferes with the measurement result of the downhole probe.
[0077] In some embodiments, the surface power supply device may apply an electric potential to the formation via a downhole leakage sub to generate a low-frequency square wave alternating current on the casing of the second wellbore.
[0078] The ground power supply device 1 can provide an alternating voltage range of 0 to 1000V and an alternating frequency of 0.5 to 5Hz. The electric potential provided by the ground power supply device 1 can generate a low-frequency square wave alternating voltage. The generated low-frequency square wave alternating voltage has the characteristics of stable signal, high power and low frequency, which can improve the measurement accuracy, help to distinguish the interfering magnetic field, and thus ensure the detection quality of weaker magnetic field signals. The ground power supply device 1 can transmit the electric potential to the downhole leakage short section 9 via the cable winch, the first insulating cable 7 and the first insulating component 8 in sequence. The electric potential can be applied to the formation via the downhole leakage short section 9 in the drilling fluid of the first drilling well 2, and a low-frequency square wave alternating current is generated on the casing 4 of the second drilling well 3.
[0079] The ground power supply device applies an electric potential to the underground leakage system on the one hand, and also applies an electric potential to the surface leakage system on the other hand, generating an electric potential difference to produce a current loop.
[0080] The alternating current in the current loop can flow up and down at the current dividing point 12 of the casing 4 of the second drilling well 3 to generate an alternating induced magnetic field.
[0081] In some embodiments, the surface leakage system includes a second insulating cable, a second insulating assembly and a surface leakage short section; the method may also include: transmitting the electric potential generated by the ground power supply device to the surface leakage short section via the second insulating cable and the second insulating assembly.
[0082] By transmitting the electric potential generated by the ground power supply device to the surface leakage short joint via the second insulating cable, a foundation is laid for forming a current loop. The use of the second insulating cable and the second insulating component can prevent the axial flow of current on the surface leakage short joint from generating an axial induced magnetic field when the current loop is formed.
[0083] Reference Figure 2The surface leakage system may include a second insulating cable 6, a second insulating assembly 10 and a surface leakage short section 11. The second insulating cable 6 may be a 7-core cable, and the second insulating cable 6 may be a soft copper stranded wire 15, an insulating layer 16, a semi-conductive filling layer 17, an inner armored steel wire 18, an outer armored steel wire 19 and an outer insulating layer 20 from the inside to the outside. The second insulating cable 6 can withstand a large tensile force and prevent the current from flowing axially on the cable to generate a secondary induced magnetic field that interferes with the measurement results of the downhole probe. The surface leakage short section 11 can be lowered into the conductive battery 5. Refer to Figure 7 One end of the second insulated cable 6 can be connected to the cable winch by a torpedo quick plug, and the other end can be connected to the surface leakage short section 11 by a wire hinge. The cable winch can be connected to the ground power supply device 1. The ground power supply device 1 can sequentially transmit the generated potential to the surface leakage short section 11 in the conductive battery 5 via the cable winch and the second insulated cable 6.
[0084] In some embodiments, the current demarcation point 12 is a point on the casing of the second wellbore that is radially opposite to the downhole leakage short section 9 in the downhole leakage system of the first wellbore.
[0085] By transmitting the alternating current on the casing of the second well to the surface leakage short joint in the surface leakage system, a current loop is formed. The alternating current in the current loop can flow up and down at the current dividing point on the casing to generate an alternating induced magnetic field.
[0086] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 8 , the current demarcation point 12 can be the radially opposite point of the downhole leakage short section 9 in the downhole leakage system of the first drilling well 2 on the casing 4 of the second drilling well 3. After the divergent electric potential in the formation is gathered on the casing 4 of the second drilling well 3, it can reach the surface leakage short section 11 in the conductive battery 5 through the electric potential streamline, thereby forming a current loop. Under the condition of forming a current loop, the downhole leakage short section 9 can be gathered on the casing 4 of the second drilling well 3 through the drilling fluid and the formation of the first drilling well 2, and flow up and down at the current demarcation point 12 on the casing 4 to generate an alternating induced magnetic field 14. The magnetic induction intensity curve 13' of the alternating induced magnetic field 14 around the casing 4 can be obtained by taking values on the path passing through the downhole leakage short section 9 and parallel to the casing 4, wherein the magnetic induction intensity curve 13' represents the intensity distribution schematic diagram of the casing 4 below the current demarcation point 12 on the longitudinal section.
[0087] S102: The control device determines the electric field intensity of the current demarcation point on the casing of the second well according to the surrounding formation information of the first well and the distance between adjacent wells of the first well and the second well.
[0088] In some embodiments, the radius of the drilling fluid column of the first well can be obtained; the weight factor of the drilling fluid in the first well, the potential of the downhole leakage short joint and the potential of the drilling fluid in the first well can be calculated; the weight factor of the formation and the potential of the formation can be calculated; and then the electric field strength at any position in the formation can be calculated using the following formula.
[0089]
[0090] Where r1 is the radial distance between a target position in the formation and the downhole leakage short joint in the first drilling well; is the electric field intensity at a radial distance r1 and a vertical distance z=0 from the downhole leakage short joint in the first drilling well; r f is the radius of the drilling fluid column in the first well; ρ1 is the weight factor of the drilling fluid in the first well; ρ2 is the weight factor of the formation; A is the potential of the downhole leakage short joint in the first well at a radial distance r1 and a vertical distance z=0; B is the potential of the drilling fluid in the first well at a radial distance r1 and a vertical distance z=0 from the downhole leakage short joint in the first well; C is the potential of the formation at a radial distance r1 and a vertical distance z=0 from the downhole leakage short joint in the first well.
[0091] The electric field strength at any position can be calculated by the weight factor of the drilling fluid in the first drilling, the potential of the downhole leakage short joint, the potential of the drilling fluid in the first drilling, the weight factor of the formation and the potential of the formation, and the radial distance of any position from the leakage short joint.
[0092] Therefore, substituting the distance between the casing and the leakage short joint (which can be replaced by the distance between adjacent wells) into r1 in the above formula, the electric field intensity at the current demarcation point of the casing can be obtained:
[0093] Specifically, according to the drilling data of the first well 2, the radius of the drilling fluid column of the first well 2 can be obtained. According to the alternating voltage, the weight factor of the drilling fluid in the first well 2 and the weight factor of the formation can be calculated.

[0101] Among them, the zero-order second-kind deformed Bessel function, which can be expressed as K0(x), is a special form of the Bessel function. The zero-order second-kind deformed Bessel function K0(x) is an infinite series or integral expression that satisfies specific conditions and can be calculated by numerical methods or specific mathematical formulas. K0(x) has a singular point at x=0, so special treatment is required. K0(x) gradually decreases as x increases and tends to 0. K0(x) has a specific asymptotic expression, and when x tends to infinity, its value can be approximately expressed as the product of a constant and the negative exponential power of x. K0(λr f ) can describe the electromagnetic field distribution in the drilling fluid of the first well 2.

The first-order second-kind deformed Bessel function K1(x) is a solution to the Bessel equation. When the order of the equation n=1, the corresponding solution is K1(x). K1(x) is undefined at x=0 because when x=0, the solution of the Bessel equation tends to infinity. K1(x) exhibits oscillatory behavior as x increases and gradually tends to 0.

J0(x) can be defined by an infinite series expansion, and the expanded series converges for all real numbers x, so it can be used to calculate the value of J0(x). J0(x) is an even function. When x approaches infinity, the amplitude of J0(x) shows an oscillatory decay.

The first-order first-kind Bessel function J1(x) is the solution of the Bessel equation when the order is 1. J1(x) can be defined by an infinite series expansion, and the expanded series is convergent for all real numbers x, so it can be used to calculate the value of J1(x). J1(x) is an odd function. When x approaches infinity, the amplitude of J1(x) shows an oscillatory decay. J1(x) has an infinite number of zeros, which are not equally spaced in value, but as x increases, the interval between adjacent zeros gradually approaches π.

[0106] The weight factor and the electric potential of the formation are calculated by the conductivity of the drilling fluid of the first well and the conductivity of the formation, which lays a data foundation for calculating the electric field strength at multiple locations in the formation.
[0107] When the radial distance between a certain point in the formation and the downhole leakage short joint 9 in the first well 2 is greater than the radius of the drilling fluid column in the first well 2, the electric field strength of the point in the formation can be directly calculated using the weight factor of the formation and the electric potential of the formation.

[0110] In summary, the electric field strength at any relative position to the leakage short joint in the radial direction of the leakage short joint can be calculated according to the radius of the drilling fluid column, the formation conductivity, and the well fluid conductivity. In the present application scheme, it is necessary to calculate the electric field strength at the current demarcation point on the casing in the second drilling. Therefore, it is necessary to input the radial distance between the casing and the leakage short joint into the above formula to obtain the electric field strength at the current demarcation point.
[0111] S103: The control device determines the alternating induced magnetic field around the bushing induced by the current flowing on the bushing according to the electric field strength at the current demarcation point.

Where r2 is the radial distance between any point in the formation and the casing of the second well; is the magnetic induction intensity at a radial distance r2 from the casing of the second well and a vertical distance z=0; σ c is the conductivity of the casing of the second well; S c is the cross-sectional area of the casing of the second wellbore; The electric field strength at the current dividing point of the casing of the second drilling well.
[0113] Based on the electric field strength at the current demarcation point, the conductivity and the cross-sectional area of the casing of the second wellbore, the alternating induced magnetic field generated at the current demarcation point can be determined.
[0114] In summary, the strength of the alternating induced magnetic field at any position away from the current demarcation point of the second drilling well can be determined by the above method. Therefore, the relative position of the second drilling detection probe can be determined according to the strength of the detected alternating induced magnetic field during drilling.
[0115] S104, the control device uses the alternating induced magnetic field as a signal source to control the drilling trajectory of the first drilling well.
[0116] A probe for detecting the alternating induced magnetic field is arranged in the first well 2 to detect the magnetic field strength at different positions below the well being drilled.
[0117] In one method, the magnetic induction intensity at different positions can be calculated in advance through the above-mentioned alternating induced magnetic field. Different magnetic induction intensities correspond to different position points. The trajectory is controlled by detecting the magnetic induction intensity through a probe.
[0118] In one method, the relative distance, relative orientation, relative well deviation, and other information between the probe of the probe tube in the first drilling well 2 and the preset target point can be reversely calculated based on the detected alternating induced magnetic field intensity. According to the relative distance, relative orientation, relative well deviation, and other information between the probe in the first drilling well 2 and the preset target point, the borehole trajectory of the first drilling well 2 can be further determined according to the drilling requirements. If the detected borehole trajectory of the first drilling well 2 deviates from the expected borehole trajectory, the control device can adjust the direction of the drill bit in the first drilling well 2 to achieve precise control of the borehole trajectory of the first drilling well 2. By detecting the alternating induced magnetic field 15 around the casing 4, the magnetic field distribution and drill bit position of various complex downhole environments (including high temperature, high pressure, high sulfur content, and other harsh conditions) can be monitored in real time to ensure the safety and accuracy of the drilling operation, thereby more effectively exploiting oil and gas resources and improving the recovery rate. In addition, after using the probe to detect the alternating induced magnetic field around the casing, it can also help further solve the problems of excitation detection, connectivity, and anti-collision technology for directional drilling of complex well structures, as well as the sealing of old wells and the construction of gas storage facilities for storing natural gas and hydrogen.

Compared with the existing method, the embodiment of this specification can form an alternating induced magnetic field on the casing of the adjacent well under the condition of forming a current loop, and then the wellbore position information of the drilling well can be determined according to the generated alternating induced magnetic field, which can provide a signal source for the refined control of the wellbore trajectory of the drilling well.
