Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drilling, and particularly to a temperature control drilling method, device, equipment and medium based on a dual-channel drill pipe. Background Art

[0002] Important progress has been made in the exploration and development of ultra-deep oil and gas, which has become the main body of the growth of proven oil and gas reserves in recent years. The drilling and completion technology of ultra-deep horizontal wells has made great progress. With the continuous increase of the drilling depth, the drilling difficulty is also rising continuously. The high-temperature environment downhole in ultra-deep horizontal wells will not only significantly affect the thermal physical properties of drilling fluids, cementing quality, borehole stability and rock-breaking efficiency, but may also lead to the failure of measurement-while-drilling tools, rotary steerable tools and geosteering tools. Therefore, the development of temperature control drilling technology is an important means to prevent accidents in deep drilling operations, and the prediction and control of wellbore temperature is a very important issue.

[0003] In view of the above difficulties, a solution using a dual-channel drill pipe for drilling is proposed. Using a dual-channel drill pipe can allow cuttings to return from the bottom of the well through a separate flow channel, achieving a constant downhole pressure gradient and reducing the torque and resistance generated by buoyancy. Therefore, dual-channel drill pipe drilling is considered to be one of the key technologies for future deep oil and gas drilling. The wellbore temperature has an important impact on the wellbore pressure control and downhole tool selection of dual-channel drill pipe drilling, and it is necessary to have a detailed understanding of its wellbore temperature. As a brand-new drilling method, dual-channel drill pipe drilling has the characteristics of multiple flow channels and variable-temperature and variable-mass flow. None of the previous wellbore temperature models can be applied, and there are no relevant research reports. Due to the lack of a corresponding wellbore temperature prediction model and wellbore temperature control method, the application of this drilling technology in ultra-deep formation drilling is greatly restricted.

[0054] Embodiment 1

[0055] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of a temperature control drilling method based on a double-channel drill pipe provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the situation of controlling the temperature of double-channel drill pipe drilling. This method can be executed by a temperature control drilling device based on a double-channel drill pipe. The temperature control drilling device based on a double-channel drill pipe can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software, and the temperature control drilling device based on a double-channel drill pipe can be configured in an electronic device. As Figure 1 shown, this method includes:

[0056] S110. Obtain a horizontal wellbore transient heat transfer model according to the circulation mode of the double-channel drill pipe, where the circulation mode characterizes the flow direction of the fluid in the double-channel drill pipe.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present invention, the circulation mode includes:

[0058] Circulation mode A: The flow direction of the main circulating fluid in the drill pipe is upward, the flow direction of the main circulating fluid in the inner pipe channel is downward, and the flow direction of the auxiliary fluid in the annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe is stationary.

[0059] Circulation mode B: The flow direction of the main circulating fluid in the drill pipe is upward, the flow direction of the main circulating fluid in the inner pipe channel is downward, and the flow direction of the auxiliary fluid in the annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe is downward.

[0060] Circulation mode C: The flow direction of the main circulating fluid in the drill pipe is downward, the flow direction of the main circulating fluid in the inner pipe channel is upward, and the flow direction of the auxiliary fluid in the annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe is downward.

[0061] During the drilling process, the fluid has the following several circulation modes: In conventional drill pipe drilling, the flow direction of the fluid in the drill pipe is downward, and the flow direction of the fluid in the annulus is upward. In double-channel drill pipe drilling, multiple flow channels can form a variety of different circulation modes: The first circulation mode is that the flow direction of the main circulating fluid in the drill pipe is upward, the flow direction of the main circulating fluid in the inner pipe channel is downward, and the flow direction of the auxiliary fluid in the annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe is stationary (non-flowing) (circulation mode A), Figure 2 which is a schematic diagram of circulation mode A applicable to the embodiments of the present invention; The second circulation mode is that the flow direction of the main circulating fluid in the drill pipe is upward, the flow direction of the main circulating fluid in the inner pipe channel is downward, and the flow direction of the auxiliary fluid in the annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe is downward (circulation mode B), Figure 3 which is a schematic diagram of circulation mode B applicable to the embodiments of the present invention; The third circulation mode is that the flow direction of the main circulating fluid in the drill pipe is downward, the flow direction of the main circulating fluid in the inner pipe channel is upward, and the flow direction of the auxiliary fluid in the annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe is downward (circulation mode C), Figure 4 which is a schematic diagram of circulation mode C applicable to the embodiments of the present invention.

[0062] The heat transfer mechanism in each region of the wellbore is divided by the two-way valve. The heat transfer mechanism in each hot region below the two-way valve is exactly the same as that in conventional drilling, which will not be elaborated here; the fluid temperatures in the drill pipe and the inner pipe channel depend on the radial forced convection heat transfer rate and the axial heat convection rate; when the auxiliary fluid in the annulus between the inner pipe and the outer pipe does not flow, the fluid temperature mainly depends on the radial heat conduction between the fluid and the wellbore wall and the outer wall of the outer pipe and the axial heat conduction within the fluid. When the auxiliary fluid in the annulus between the inner pipe and the outer pipe flows downward, the fluid temperature of the auxiliary fluid depends on the radial forced convection heat transfer rate with the outer wall of the outer pipe and the wellbore wall, as well as the downward heat convection rate and the viscous dissipation heat generation rate within the fluid; at the two-way valve, according to the continuity of fluid flow, the temperatures of different flow channels in the control volume unit mainly depend on the heat convection rate along the flow direction and the viscous dissipation heat generation rate; on the drill pipe wall, the temperatures of the inner pipe wall and the outer pipe wall are mainly determined by the radial heat exchange rate of the fluid in contact with them, as well as the internal axial heat conduction rate.

[0063] S120. Obtain the wellbore temperature according to the horizontal wellbore transient heat transfer model.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present invention, the horizontal wellbore transient heat transfer model includes: the transient heat transfer model in the drill pipe corresponding to each hot region of the double-channel drill pipe, the transient heat transfer model in the inner pipe channel, the transient heat transfer model in the annulus between the inner pipe and the outer pipe, and the transient heat transfer model at the two-way valve.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, the transient heat transfer model in the drill pipe includes:

[0066]

[0067] Wherein:

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] The subscript 1 represents the fluid in the drill pipe, the subscript pi-in represents the inner wall of the inner pipe of the double-channel drill pipe, the subscript p-in is the inner pipe, d is the diameter, Q f1 is the axial heat convection term in the drill pipe, q is the displacement, q 1 is the displacement of the main circulating fluid pumped in, q 2 is the displacement of the auxiliary fluid pumped in.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present invention, the transient heat transfer model in the inner pipe channel includes:

[0072]

[0073] Wherein:

[0074]

[0075]

[0076] The subscript 2 represents the fluid in the inner pipe channel, the subscript po-in represents the outer wall of the inner pipe of the double-channel drill pipe, the subscript pi-out represents the inner wall of the outer pipe of the double-channel drill pipe, the subscript p-out represents the outer pipe of the double-channel drill pipe, Q f2 is the axial heat convection term in the inner pipe channel.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present invention, the transient heat transfer model in the annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe includes:

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] In the embodiment of the present invention, the transient heat transfer model at the double-pass valve includes:

[0081]

[0082] Q A1 and Q A2 are respectively the heat source terms generated by viscous dissipation in the control volume units at the drill pipe center and at the double-pass valve in the inner pipe channel under the condition of circulation mode A;

[0083]

[0084] Q B1 and Q B2 are respectively the heat source terms generated by viscous dissipation in the control volume units at the drill pipe center and at the double-pass valve in the inner pipe channel under the condition of circulation mode B. v zB1 and v zB2 are respectively the flow velocities through the double-pass valve at the drill pipe center and in the inner pipe channel under the condition of circulation mode B.

[0085] The set conditions are as follows: Assume that before starting the circulating drilling, the wellbore temperature returns to the same as the surrounding ambient temperature. The original temperature of the surrounding environment is regarded as the initial condition of the whole system; at the bottom of the well, the fluid in the drill string enters the annulus through the bit nozzle. According to the continuity of fluid flow, the temperature in the drill string in the bottom hole area is considered to be equal to the annulus temperature, and is also considered to be equal to the temperature on the drill string wall at the bottom of the well; in the control volume unit of the double-pass valve, the temperature of the inner pipe wall of the double-channel drill pipe is considered to be the average value of the fluid temperatures in the drill pipe center and in the inner pipe channel; the temperature in the formation area far from the wellbore is considered to be the original formation temperature; the temperature on the formation surface is always considered to be the same as the atmospheric temperature.

[0086] S130. Conduct temperature-controlled drilling based on the wellbore temperature.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present invention, obtaining the wellbore temperature according to the horizontal wellbore transient heat transfer model includes:

[0088] Solving the partial differential equations of the transient heat transfer models in the drill pipe, the inner pipe channel, the annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe, and the transient heat transfer model at the double-pass valve using the finite difference method to obtain the wellbore temperature.

[0089] Solving the partial differential equations of the transient heat transfer in the above-mentioned respective heat regions using the finite difference method to solve for the wellbore temperature. The temperature equations in all control volume units in the wellbore-formation system can form a pentadiagonal linear equation system, and its matrix form can be expressed as:

[0090] AT n+1 = B;

[0091] To ensure safe and efficient drilling, it is necessary to reduce the wellbore temperature during the drilling process. Based on this principle, the parameters during the drilling process can be optimized. Since the conditions of wells in different regions and different well areas are different, a universal optimization scheme applicable to all wells cannot be given, but all can be optimized around the principle of reducing the wellbore temperature, such as adding heat insulation layers to the casing wall and the downhole drill pipe wall, optimizing the position of the double-pass valve, reducing the inlet temperature of the main and auxiliary circulating fluids, increasing the large annulus flow rate, reducing the thermal conductivity, increasing the specific heat, etc.

[0092] In dual-channel drill pipe drilling, there are three circulation modes of the fluid. Analyze the flow characteristics and heat transfer mechanisms in each flow channel under each circulation mode, obtain the horizontal wellbore transient heat transfer model, set the initial and boundary conditions, use the finite difference method to solve the model to obtain the wellbore temperature, and optimize the drilling parameters based on the wellbore temperature and the model to conduct temperature-controlled drilling. In addition, the horizontal wellbore transient heat transfer model can provide theoretical support for the wellbore temperature prediction of dual-channel drill pipe drilling and its application in ultra-deep well temperature-controlled drilling or high-efficiency development of geothermal wells.

[0093] In dual-channel drill pipe drilling, the fluid flow in the wellbore has the following three modes: In the first circulation mode, the main circulating fluid in the drill pipe flows upward, the main circulating fluid in the inner pipe channel flows downward, and there is an annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe, and the auxiliary fluid in this channel is stationary; In the second circulation mode, the main circulating fluid in the drill pipe flows upward, the main circulating fluid in the inner pipe channel flows downward, and the auxiliary fluid in the annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe flows downward; In the third circulation mode, the main circulating fluid in the drill pipe flows downward, the main circulating fluid in the inner pipe channel flows upward, and the auxiliary fluid in the annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe flows downward.

[0094] The heat transfer mechanism in each area within the wellbore is demarcated by a two-way valve. The heat transfer mechanism in each hot area below the two-way valve is exactly the same as that in conventional drilling, which will not be elaborated here; the fluid temperatures within the drill pipe and the inner pipe channel depend on the radial forced convection heat transfer rate and the axial heat convection rate; when the auxiliary fluid in the annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe does not flow, the fluid temperature mainly depends on the radial heat conduction between the fluid and the wellbore wall and the outer wall of the outer pipe, as well as the axial heat conduction within the fluid. When the auxiliary fluid in the annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe flows downward, the fluid temperature of the auxiliary fluid depends on the radial forced convection heat transfer rate with the outer wall of the outer pipe and the wellbore wall, as well as the downward heat convection rate and the viscous dissipation heat generation rate within the fluid; at the two-way valve, according to the continuity of fluid flow, the temperatures of different flow channels within this control volume unit mainly depend on the heat convection rate along the flow direction and the viscous dissipation heat generation rate; on the drill pipe wall, the temperatures of the inner pipe wall and the outer pipe wall are mainly determined by the radial heat exchange rate of the fluid in contact with them, as well as the internal axial heat conduction rate.

[0095] Make the following several assumptions: (1) The fluids in each flow channel within the wellbore flow axially, without considering the radial flow behavior and heat behavior within a single flow channel; (2) When fluids from multiple channels converge at the two-way valve, the temperature change is considered to occur instantaneously; (3) The axis direction of the horizontal wellbore is always considered as the axial direction, and the direction perpendicular to the wellbore axis is considered as the radial direction. Regarding the wellbore - formation in dual - channel drill pipe drilling as an integrated heat transfer system, an integrated transient heat transfer model can be established to reflect the heat behavior of each hot area within the wellbore in dual - channel drill pipe drilling. The specific transient heat transfer models for different areas are the same as the respective formulas in the previous text.

[0096] The finite - difference method is used to solve the transient heat transfer model to obtain the wellbore temperature. Based on the obtained integrated transient heat transfer model, with the aim of reducing the wellbore temperature during drilling, parameter optimization is carried out to achieve temperature - controlled drilling. Among them, the technical measures that can be used are: adding heat - insulating and heat - preserving layers at the casing wall and the downhole drill pipe wall without affecting the normal circulation drilling of the main circulating fluid; optimizing the position of the two - way valve; reducing the inlet temperature of the main and auxiliary circulating fluids and increasing the large annulus flow rate; reducing the thermal conductivity and increasing the specific heat, etc.

[0097] Through this temperature - controlled drilling technology, the temperature field change of the entire well during deep drilling can be accurately predicted, and the occurrence of accidents during deep drilling operations can be effectively prevented. By mastering the wellbore temperature, the wellbore pressure can be better controlled, more efficient downhole tools can be selected, which can further promote the development of deep - layer oil and gas resources and solve the problems such as wellbore pressure control and downhole tool selection faced in deep drilling.

[0098] The following elaborates on the solution of the present invention through a specific embodiment:

[0099] Description of the drilling method in the specific B circulation mode:

[0100] Based on the fluid being in the b circulation mode, the main circulation fluid flow direction in the drill pipe is upward, the main circulation fluid flow direction in the inner pipe channel is downward, and the auxiliary fluid flow direction in the annulus channel between the inner pipe and the outer pipe is downward. Using the finite difference method for the aforementioned formula, the wellbore temperature distribution can be obtained: Under the condition of circulation mode B, for the fluid flow in FC3, its temperature is the lowest among the three channels. At the same time, under the condition of circulation mode B, the temperature of the fluid injected downward in FC2 is relatively low, so the temperature of the fluid in FC3 under the condition of circulation mode B is also relatively low. In addition, the fluid in FC3 enters the upward-return fluid channel at the double-pass valve and undergoes thermal convection with the upward-return fluid. Therefore, the temperature of the upward-return fluid suddenly decreases at the double-pass valve under the condition of circulation mode B. Compared with conventional drilling, the other temperature distribution characteristics of the main circulation fluid in dual-channel drill pipe drilling are approximately the same. In addition, it is known from model calculations that the bottom hole temperature at the final steady state under different circulation mode conditions satisfies: Circulation mode B < Conventional drilling, while the outlet temperature satisfies: Circulation mode B > Conventional drilling. During ultra-high temperature formation drilling or geothermal well development, too high a bottom hole temperature can cause changes in the performance of drilling fluid, failure of downhole measurement tools, shortening of bit life, etc., posing great challenges to safe drilling. If there is a drilling method that can reduce the bottom hole temperature, it is very beneficial for ultra-high temperature formation drilling. Under this condition, if the returned wellhead temperature can be ensured to be relatively high, it can also meet the development of geothermal wells. Therefore, the circulation mode B of dual-channel drill pipe drilling provides a possibility for safe drilling in ultra-high temperature formations and efficient development of geothermal wells.

[0101] The bottom hole temperature under different circulation mode conditions gradually decreases with time, but there are significant differences in the decrease rate and decrease amount. Comparing the bottom hole temperatures of circulation mode B and conventional drilling, in the initial stage, the decrease rate of the former is less than that of the latter, but in the later stage, the decrease rate of the latter decreases rapidly with time, which results in the bottom hole temperature of the former being less than that of the latter finally. If the parameters can be optimized, the temperature difference between the two may be even greater. Therefore, the circulation mode B of dual-channel drill pipe drilling has obvious advantages in ultra-high temperature formation drilling. At this time, ways such as reducing the inlet temperature of the main and auxiliary circulation fluids and increasing the large annulus flow rate can all reduce the temperature during drilling.
