Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield completion engineering, and in particular to a side-drilling completion process pipe string and a construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the oilfield enters the middle and late stages of development, the frequency of casing damage in old wells continues to increase due to various reasons. Using old wellbores for casing window side drilling has become an important means of exploiting the remaining oil in old oilfields. The Dagang Oilfield side-drills about 15-30 wells per year. 5-1 / 2" casing side-drills, hangs Φ95.25mm casing, and uses a tail pipe with an inner diameter of Φ82.25mm for cementing and completion. The first side-drilled fracturing well in the Dagang Oilfield is from 38-34K. The tail pipe of the well is hung with a φ95.25mm small casing for completion. The inner diameter of the sent-in pipe string is φ60.3mm. Only two sections and one layer of the fracturing hole are fractured, and the construction displacement is only 4.3m 3 / min, the bridge-plug combined with multi-cluster perforation volume fracturing was not achieved.

[0003] The reservoirs of Kong 2 in the southern oil area of ​​Dagang Oilfield and Sha 1 and Sha 2 in the northern oil area can all be transformed by multi-cluster perforation volume fracturing with bridge plugs in side drilling to recover the remaining oil. Due to the reasons such as the lack of diameter and low pressure of the plug-in string insertion seal and hanger and the tail pipe completion string, the bridge plug joint staged fracturing volume transformation cannot be achieved. The fracturing can only be carried out by inserting a packer to seal, single layer or multiple mixed pressure, and the bridge plug multi-cluster staged fracturing transformation cannot be achieved.

[0004] For example, in application number 202010257552.6, a side drilling well completion method is provided, in which a tail pipe suspension and tie-back integrated tool is installed on the upper part of the small diameter casing, and the small diameter casing is cemented and suspended in the original wellbore, and a tie-back tube is left on the upper part of the small diameter casing. During fracturing construction, the sealing insert can be connected to the small diameter casing and lowered into the side drilling well. The sealing insert is inserted into the tie-back tube to form a wellbore similar to a new well, thereby realizing the full diameter of the side drilling wellbore, improving the pressure bearing capacity of the entire wellbore, and creating conditions for subsequent multi-layer and section transformation and water-proof oil production in the reservoir. The tail pipe suspension and tie-back integrated tool of this invention is a conventional suspension tool with a cava. The tool is relatively complex, and the inner diameter formed after the tie-back tube is inserted is small.

[0005] Based on this, the inventors of the present application realize that there is still much room for improvement in overcoming the problem that the current side drilling of low permeability reservoirs can only mix pressure or fracture one layer.

[0006] Therefore, it is very necessary to design a side drilling well completion process string and its construction method to solve the annular space loss problem of the overlapping section of the large casing and the small casing above the side drilling well window and achieve the purpose of multi-section transformation. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to solve the existing technical problems, the present invention proposes a side drilling completion process pipe string and a construction method thereof. The expandable pipe hanger assembly of the device can achieve a two-way suspension effect. No matter it is lifted up or lowered, the tail pipe string cannot move, thereby eliminating the damage to the upper casing caused by conventional hanger slips, and can provide greater suspension force and higher reliability. It also solves the annular space loss problem of the overlapping section of the large casing and the small casing above the side drilling window, and achieves the purpose of multi-section transformation at the same time.
