Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of (ultra) deep oil and gas drilling, and more specifically to a quantitative control method for the stability of a horizontal wellbore under the transient temperature and pressure coupling action of a fractured formation - wellbore. Background Art

[0002] Improper selection of drilling fluid density may lead to wellbore collapse (low wellbore density poses a risk of stuck pipe due to falling debris), fracturing of the formation or generation of drilling - induced fractures in the wellbore (high wellbore density), prolonging non - drilling time and increasing drilling costs. The reasonable safety density window designed before drilling to prevent downhole complications usually consists of an upper limit of fracture pressure equivalent density (to prevent the generation of drilling - induced fractures) and a lower limit of collapse pressure equivalent density (to prevent wellbore collapse). The in - situ stress field and pore pressure field around the well are the keys to wellbore stability evaluation. External loads (such as changes in stress difference and pressure difference) during the formation of the drilled wellbore cause deformation of the rock solid phase, inducing changes in rock permeability and porosity, which in turn affect the flow state of the fluid inside the pores of the formation rock. The pressure gradient reflecting the fluid flow state will act on the rock solid phase - resisting its deformation. This fluid - solid (fluid flow - solid deformation) coupling effect is particularly obvious in low - permeability formations. When an external load is instantaneously applied to the rock surface, due to the low - permeability characteristics, the pore fluid cannot be discharged in time from the current pores and will bear part of the external load, thereby inducing the generation of excess pore pressure, which is the non - drainage load effect or poro - elastic effect.

[0003] Analogously, the above - mentioned situation occurs when external loads act on (ultra) deep fractured rocks (such as shale, tight sandstone and hot dry rock). Since their matrix system and fracture system have their own hydraulic (permeability, porosity) and mechanical (elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, Skempton pore pressure coefficient, etc.) characteristics, the two systems exhibit different poro - elastic responses. Therefore, the practice of regarding fractured rocks as single - porosity media (ignoring the existence of the fracture system or introducing bedding weak planes to replace the fracture system) will inevitably lead to incorrect predictions of the pre - drilling design safety density window for such formations.

[0004] In addition, during the deep formation drilling process, the wellbore drilling fluid reaches the bottom of the well through the inside of the drill string, which is a heating process, and its temperature gradually becomes higher than the wellhead temperature. During the process of flowing out of the ground through the annulus after passing through the drill bit, the drilling fluid at the bottom of the wellbore further absorbs the formation heat and its temperature gradually increases (but still lower than the original formation temperature, that is, cooling the formation). After flowing upward through the critical well depth, the temperature of the drilling fluid is higher than the original formation temperature and heats the upper formation. Considering that after the rock is heated, the pore fluid in the rock undertakes part of the load borne by the solid phase skeleton due to the expansion effect (note that the solid phase expansion of the rock is lower than that of the pore fluid), resulting in the phenomenon of excess pore pressure. The cooling of the rock in the lower formation causes the pore fluid to shrink and cannot "fill" the pore space, resulting in low pressure. On the other hand, the solid phase skeleton of the rock not only generates thermal stress due to thermal expansion and contraction, but the process of thermal expansion and contraction will also affect the formation degree of excess pressure or low pressure of the pore fluid and the seepage process - the thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling effect. Obviously, the conventional linear elastic model cannot reflect the influence of the thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling process on the stress field of the rock around the well and the safety density window.

[0005] The action of the wellbore circulation temperature field during the above deep formation drilling process makes the temperature at the wellbore wall in a dynamic change process. In addition, the density of the drilling fluid is also in a dynamic change under the influence of the wellbore pressure and the circulation temperature field. Therefore, the dynamic boundary effects before and after the wellbore is drilled (including the dynamic temperature difference between the drilling fluid and the formation fluid at the wellbore wall and the dynamic pressure difference between the transient circulation pressure in the wellbore annulus and the original pore pressure) make the assumptions of traditional constant temperature difference and pressure difference actions unable to correctly reflect the influence of the thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling effect on wellbore stability.

[0006] The invention patent with the publication number CN104806233A of China University of Petroleum (regarding the fracture system as a weak plane) discloses a method for predicting the collapse pressure equivalent density window of weak plane formations, including dividing the weak plane formations into dense sections and fracture sections according to the characteristics of the weak plane formations; using the rock triaxial compression test to test the strength of the rock matrix and the strength of the weak plane; using the fluid-solid coupling model to invert the stress distribution and pore pressure distribution of the rock around the well in the dense formation, and combining with the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion to determine the lower limit of the collapse pressure equivalent density of the dense formation; using the rock weak plane failure criterion to analyze the failure state of the rock around the well in the weak plane formation, and determining the lower limit and upper limit of the collapse pressure equivalent density window of the fracture formation; comparing the collapse pressure equivalent density values (lower limit) of the dense section and the collapse pressure equivalent density values (lower limit and upper limit) of the fracture section, and the collapse pressure equivalent density window of the weak plane formation can be determined.

[0007] The invention patent with the publication number CN113935092A of Southwest Petroleum University discloses a dual-porosity thermo-elastic coupling evaluation method for wellbore stability in fractured formations. Although this method considers the influence of the fracture system and dynamic temperature difference on the equivalent density of collapse pressure, the prediction of the cyclic temperature field does not consider the influence of the actual wellbore structure (casing and cement sheath), and does not consider the influence of the dynamic pressure difference between the transient cyclic pressure in the wellbore annulus (related to dynamic ECD) and the original pore pressure combination on the stress field around the wellbore. Therefore, it cannot accurately design the pre-drilling safety density window for (ultra) deep fractured formations.

[0008] Although the above two patents and other existing technical solutions have achieved certain technical effects, they do not comprehensively predict the pre-drilling safety density window for (ultra) deep fractured formations under the action of thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling, thus restricting on-site operations. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In order to overcome the defects existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention discloses a quantitative control method for wellbore stability of horizontal wells in fractured formations under transient temperature-pressure coupling. The present invention includes measuring the permeability, pore medium mechanical parameters and thermophysical properties of fractured cores and intact cores, the variation law of drilling fluid density with temperature and pressure, and using imaging logging data or a three-dimensional CT scanner to invert the fracture spacing and fracture width of the rocks in the fractured formation; using the control equation of the cyclic temperature field of API RP 13D rheological drilling fluid during the drilling process to analyze the temperature inside the drill string, the annulus temperature and the wellbore temperature reflecting the boundary effect of transient temperature difference disturbance; establishing a prediction model of dynamic ECD (transient cyclic pressure in the wellbore annulus) that couples the annulus temperature and pressure disturbance, taking the transient temperature difference between the dynamic temperature at the wellbore and the original formation temperature, the transient pressure difference between the transient pressure at the wellbore and the original pore pressure of the formation, and the transient stress difference between the transient pressure at the wellbore and the original radial stress as the dynamic disturbance boundary conditions, and combining the dual-porosity thermo-elastic theory to analyze the pore pressure field and stress field of the surrounding rock of the wellbore in the fractured formation under the action of thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling under non-uniform in-situ stress conditions, and determining the safety density window for horizontal wells in fractured formations. The present invention quantifies the relationship between the plugging ratio of fracture size and wellbore collapse-fracture, and provides theoretical and technical guidance for reasonably designing the "time-correlated safety density window" that couples the dynamic temperature-pressure disturbance boundary effect before drilling in (ultra) deep fractured formations.

[0020] Step 21: Based on the dynamic ESD prediction model, combine the annulus pressure loss calculation principle proposed by Wang Haige and Ma Xianming et al. to establish a prediction model for the wellbore annulus dynamic ECD (wellbore annulus transient circulation pressure);

[0021] Step 24: Use the transient wellbore temperature field analytical solution, the constitutive equation and the mass conservation equation of the dual-porosity thermoelastic theory to analyze the pore pressure field and stress field of the wellbore surrounding rock in the fractured formation under the action of thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling under non-uniform in-situ stress conditions;

[0022] Step 27: Use the pore pressure field and stress field of the wellbore surrounding rock in the fractured formation under the action of thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling under non-uniform in-situ stress conditions, the Mogi-Coulomb criterion and the tensile fracture criterion to determine the safe density window SMWW = {ρ c ,ρ f};

It provides a scientific basis for designing a reasonable safety density window before drilling in (ultra) deep fractured formations, can effectively prevent wellbore instability, and prevent downhole complex accidents. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0080] Figure 1 is a flowchart of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0081] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects generated by the present invention in combination with embodiments and drawings to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of the present invention.

[0082] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a method for quantitatively controlling the stability of the horizontal wellbore in a fractured formation under transient temperature and pressure coupling, including the following steps:

[0083] Step 1: Use a gas permeability tester to measure the permeability of fractured cores and intact cores.

[0084] Step 2: Measure the physical properties of fractured cores based on 3D CT scanners and logging data, where the physical properties include fracture spacing and fracture width.

[0085] Step 3: Use a rock triaxial compression test to measure the pore medium mechanical parameters of fractured cores and intact cores. The mechanical parameters of the latter correspond to those of the matrix system in the fractured cores. The pore medium mechanical parameters corresponding to the fracture system in the fractured cores and the rock strength parameters of fragmented rocks are obtained through an equivalent sequence model (the matrix system and the fracture system are arranged in sequence). The rock strength parameters include cohesion, internal friction angle, and tensile strength, and the pore medium mechanical parameters include Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, Skempton coefficient, fluid bulk modulus, etc.

[0086] Step 4: Use a thermal expansion coefficient measuring instrument and a Hot Disk thermal constant analyzer to measure the thermal physical properties of fractured cores and intact cores. The thermal physical properties include solid-phase thermal expansion coefficient, liquid-phase thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity (thermal diffusivity).

[0087] Step 5: Use an acoustic emission test to measure in-situ stresses, including overburden pressure, maximum horizontal in-situ stress, and minimum horizontal in-situ stress. Obtain the in-situ stress distribution by back-calculating the tectonic stress coefficient and combining it with logging data.

[0088] Step 6: Invert the original formation pore pressure distribution using logging parameters.

[0089] Step 7: Use the API RP 13D rheological (double power-law type) drilling fluid circulation temperature field control equation during drilling and Laplace transform processing to analyze the analytical solution of the transient temperature field.

[0090] The API RP 13D rheological (double power-law type) drilling fluid circulation temperature field control equation includes: heat transfer equation inside the drill string, heat transfer equation in the wellbore annulus, heat flux continuity equation at the wellbore wall (the heat flux flowing from the formation into the wellbore is equal), and formation heat conduction equation.

[0308] The Mogi-Coulomb strength criterion is often applied to the evaluation of borehole collapse failure. Its commonly used octahedral shear stress τ oct and mean effective stress σ′ m are expressed as:

[0311]

[0312] In the formula, τ oct is the octahedral shear stress, σ m is the mean effective stress; c and correspond to the inherent cohesive force and internal friction angle of the rock respectively. The above maximum effective principal stress σ′ 1 , intermediate effective principal stress σ′ 2 and minimum effective principal stress σ′ 3 correspond to the matrix tensor σ ccs [σ ij , i, j ∈ (r, θ, z)] eigenvalues σ n , which are determined by the following determinant.

[0313]

[0314] For borehole collapse (caving) caused by shear failure of the rock body, based on the above strength failure criterion and borehole stress, the calculation process of the collapse pressure for safe drilling (the lower limit is the larger value compared with the pore pressure) is as follows:

[0315] First, by defining the well deviation angle γ bi = i° (i = 0:i:90), azimuth angle Ω bj = j° (j = 0:j:360), borehole peripheral angle θ k = k° (k = 0:k:360) and the pressure array to determine the final required collapse pressure value;

[0316] Among them, is set as the horizontal maximum principal in-situ stress σ H or a larger stress value; given the matrix (γ bi , Ω bj ), the pressure p ml increases from 0 to at intervals of 1. When the judgment condition is satisfied, the collapse pressure matrix corresponding to the borehole peripheral angle θ k can be obtained The maximum value in the final screened matrix is used as the collapse pressure value corresponding to the given well deviation and azimuth angle (γ bi , Ω bj ); the equivalent density of the collapse pressure value is used as the lower limit of the safety density window SMWW = {ρ c , ρ f} for the fractured formation;

[0317] The tensile fracture formed from the wellbore when the minimum effective principal stress on the rock around the well reaches or exceeds the tensile strength of the porous rock is:

[0318] σ′ 3 = -s t

[0319] S t = σ c / ω

[0320]

[0321] In the formula: s t is the tensile strength of the fractured rock; σ c is the uniaxial compressive strength; the coefficient ω can be taken as 12.

[0322] Then, by defining the well deviation angle γ bi = i° (i = 0: i: 90), azimuth angle Ω bj = j° (j = 0: j: 360), wellbore perimeter angle θ k = k° (k = 0: k: 360) and the pressure array to determine the final required fracture pressure value;

[0323] Among them, is set to be greater than the maximum value of the three principal in-situ stresses (σ H , σ h , σ v ); for the given matrix (γ bi , Ω bj ), the pressure p ml decreases from to 0 at an interval of 1. When the judgment condition σ′ 3 + s t ≤ m is satisfied, the fracture pressure matrix corresponding to the wellbore perimeter angle θ k can be obtained The minimum value in the final screened matrix is used as the fracture pressure value corresponding to the given well deviation and azimuth angle (γ bi , Ω bj ); the equivalent density of the fracture pressure value is used as the upper limit of the safety density window SMWW = {ρ c , ρ f} for the fractured formation.

[0324] Note that the smaller the values of the positive real numbers i, j, k, and l, the higher the accuracy of the collapse pressure and fracture pressure values determined by the above method. In addition, the effective stress value mentioned in the present invention is defined as

[0325] The present invention determines the mechanical parameters and physical properties parameters (including thermal physical properties parameters) of the pore medium required for model calculation through laboratory tests and imaging logging data. By comprehensively considering the dual-porosity thermoelastic theory model and the rock failure (shear and tension) model that couple dynamic temperature and pressure perturbation boundary effects, the pre-drilling safety density window for (ultra) deep fractured formations is derived, and a time-dependent density window diagram affected by different fracture widths and fracture spacings (quantifying the plugging size) is drawn, so as to provide a scientific basis for on-site construction personnel to determine a reasonable drilling density window, effectively prevent wellbore instability problems, and prevent downhole complex accidents from occurring.
