Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of salt cavern underground storage construction, and particularly relates to a completion string and process method for a sediment drainage well in a compressed air energy storage cavern. Background Art
[0002] As one of the main types of gas storage caverns, salt cavern gas storage caverns have the advantages of high injection and production efficiency and large short-term throughput. Salt cavern gas storage caverns mainly utilize the characteristic that salt dissolves in water to establish a connection with the target formation (salt rock layer) from the surface through drilling. After the connection is formed, a cavity-forming string is lowered from the wellhead, and fresh water is injected into the salt layer using a surface injection water pump and supporting equipment. After the fresh water fully reacts with the salt rock layer, the fresh water will turn into brine and return to the surface. After a period of dissolution, a huge salt cavity is formed underground, and this salt cavity can be used for subsequent storage of compressed air. The current mainstream method of utilizing the salt cavity space is to lower an injection gas and drain brine string through the pre-drilled wellbore to displace the brine above the sediment in the salt cavity. Using this method will result in the inability to utilize the pore space of the insoluble matter at the bottom of the salt cavity.
[0003] Therefore, a new type of brine drainage method is innovated, that is, bypassing the upper cavity position, drilling a sediment drainage well at the sediment area in the middle and lower part of the cavity, and injecting gas through the original drilled wellbore and draining brine through the sediment drainage well for injection gas and drain brine. The project of entering the cavity with a directional sediment drainage well has been successfully implemented in salt cavern gas storage / energy storage caverns in Jiangsu, Hubei, etc. It provides a new solution for the utilization of the bottom sediment in salt cavern gas storage caverns. However, currently, the three-opening method uses an open-hole completion method to enter the cavity sediment. If the current open-hole method is used, the wellbore is extremely vulnerable to the influence of insoluble debris and the caving of the open-hole section wellbore wall during the process from well completion to injection gas and drain brine, resulting in blockage. At the same time, with this completion method, it is impossible to judge and prevent the upward flow of gas at the end of the injection gas and drain brine period. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new completion string and process method to solve the above problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0065] The surface casing 2 is used to isolate surface water and shallow formation water systems to prevent pollution
[0066] The production casing 3 is used to form a rigid communication channel above the salt layer section
[0067] Exemplarily, a sediment drainage well is drilled at a position 100 m outside the salt cavity boundary. A three-opening wellbore structure is adopted. The diameter of the conductor 1 is 406.4 mm, the diameter of the surface casing 2 for the first opening is 273.1 mm, the diameter of the production casing 3 for the second opening is 177.8 mm, the diameter of the screen pipe 11 is 139.7 mm, and the diameter of the internal tubing 7 is 48.3 mm with a pressure and gas detector and a bypass valve at the bottom.
[0068] Although the above has been exemplarily described with a three-opening wellbore structure as an example, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it can adopt various wellbore structures, such as a four-opening wellbore structure. Those skilled in the art can comprehensively consider according to the gas injection and brine drainage principle of the present invention and the actual application situation, as long as the principle of the present invention can be realized.
[0069] In some embodiments, the setting depth of the surface casing 2 is lower than the depth of the surface water;
[0070] The distance between the end of the production casing 3 and the top of the salt layer is greater than a first set threshold.
[0071] The surface casing 2 and the production casing 3 are set as required above to ensure the sealing and stability of the wellbore.
[0072] Exemplarily, the first set threshold is 30 m.
[0073] Although the above has been exemplarily described with the first set threshold being 30 m as an example, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it can be set to multiple values, such as 35 m, 40 m, 45 m, etc. Those skilled in the art can comprehensively consider according to the drilling principle of the sediment drainage well of the present invention and the actual application situation, as long as the principle of the present invention can be realized.
[0074] In some embodiments, the horizontal distance between the three-opening open hole section and the boundary of the salt cavity body reserves at least the length of a second set threshold.
[0075] The purpose is to prevent the second opening from prematurely entering the salt cavity body and causing difficulties in cementing, and at the same time reserve a sufficiently long small hole section for directional drilling.
[0076] Exemplarily, the second set threshold is 60 m.
[0077] Although the above has been exemplarily described with the second set threshold being 60 m as an example, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it can be set to multiple values, such as 65 m, 70 m, 75 m, etc. Those skilled in the art can comprehensively consider according to the drilling principle of the sediment drainage well of the present invention and the actual application situation, as long as the principle of the present invention can be realized.

[0080] The material of the production casing 3 is preferably ordinary carbon steel, and the steel grade of the production casing 3 is N80 or above.
[0081] The material of the screen pipe 11 is preferably ordinary carbon steel.
[0082] Since the sediment drainage and brine well only contacts saturated brine during the subsequent gas injection and brine drainage process, therefore, the materials of the surface casing 2, the production casing 3 and the screen pipe 11 are preferably selected as ordinary carbon steel, which is easy to purchase and has a low cost. The ordinary carbon steel material is sufficient to meet the requirements of the working conditions in the sediment drainage and brine well of the energy storage reservoir.
[0083] Although the materials of the surface casing 2, the production casing 3 and the screen pipe 11 are exemplarily described above with ordinary carbon steel as an example, however, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it can adopt various types of steel, such as 3Cr, 13Cr, nickel-based alloy anti-corrosion materials, etc. Those skilled in the art can comprehensively consider according to the closing principle of the present invention and the actual application situation, as long as the principle of the present invention can be realized.
[0084] In some embodiments, the screen pipe unit includes: a screen pipe 11 and a liner hanger 4;
[0085] The liner hanger 4 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the production casing 3; Exemplarily, the two can be connected by the method of slip hanging;
[0086] The liner hanger 4 is connected to the screen pipe 11. Exemplarily, the two can be connected by threads or the specified connection method of the liner hanger 4.
[0087] The screen pipe 11 is used to protect the smoothness of the open hole section at the bottom of the above-mentioned communication channel, prevent the collapse of the open hole section wellbore or the precipitation of impurities during the long-term gas injection and brine drainage construction process, resulting in the blockage of the brine drainage channel. At the same time, part of the communication channel is reserved in the screen hole part to increase the brine drainage volume and reduce the flow resistance;
[0088] The liner hanger 4 is used to connect and lower the screen pipe 11.
[0089] In some embodiments, the tubing unit includes: a tubing 7, a first pressure and gas detector 6, and a second pressure and gas detector 10;
[0090] The tubing 7 is connected to the surface wellhead and is arranged inside the screen pipe 11;
[0091] The first pressure and gas detector 6 is arranged in the middle of the tubing 7;
[0092] The second pressure and gas detector 10 is arranged at the end of the oil pipe 7.
[0093] The oil pipe 7 is used for lowering the first pressure and gas detector 6 and the second pressure and gas detector 10, and is used for monitoring gas and pressure during the gas injection and brine discharging process.
[0094] The first pressure and gas detector 6 is used for detecting the pressure fluctuation in the middle of the oil pipe 7 and the change of gas content;
[0095] The second pressure and gas detector 10 is used for detecting the pressure fluctuation at the bottom of the oil pipe 7 and the change of gas content.
[0096] Moving the wellhead monitoring downward, with the function of detecting the pressure and gas in the bottom open hole section, predicting in advance the upward return of gas at the end of brine discharging, and being able to timely open the emergency cut-off valve at the ground wellhead to ensure the safety of the ground pipeline and the stable operation of the sediment brine discharging well.
[0097] In some embodiments, the oil pipe unit further includes: a first bypass valve 5 and a second bypass valve 9;
[0098] The first bypass valve 5 is installed on the oil pipe 7 and is located above the first pressure and gas detector 6;
[0099] The second bypass valve 9 is installed on the oil pipe 7 and is located above the second pressure and gas detector 10.
[0100] The first bypass valve 5 is used for leading out the signal transmission cable of the first pressure and gas detector 6 from the inside of the pipe string, and after the signal transmission cable is led out from the inside of the pipe string, it goes through the annulus between the oil pipe 7 and the screen pipe 11 until it is led out from the wellhead;
[0101] The second bypass valve 9 is used for leading out the signal transmission cable of the second pressure and gas detector 10 from the inside of the pipe string, and after the signal transmission cable is led out from the inside of the pipe string, it goes through the annulus between the oil pipe 7 and the screen pipe 11 until it is led out from the wellhead.
[0102] In some embodiments, the emergency cut-off unit includes: an emergency cut-off valve, a power module, a signal receiving module and a ground control cabinet;

[0105] The ground control cabinet is electrically connected to the power module;
[0106] The power module is connected to the emergency cut-off valve;
[0107] The emergency cut-off valve is installed at the ground wellhead.
[0108] An emergency cut-off valve is used to close the wellhead urgently after the first pressure and gas detector 6 and the second pressure and gas detector 10 detect abnormal pressure and gas channeling, preventing high-pressure gas from damaging surface pipelines and equipment;
[0109] A power module is used to provide a power source for the emergency cut-off valve, the first pressure and gas detector 6, and the second pressure and gas detector 10;
[0110] A signal receiving module is used to receive the uploaded signals from the first pressure and gas detector 6 and the second pressure and gas detector 10;
[0111] A ground control cabinet is used to control the entire system of the first pressure and gas detector 6, the second pressure and gas detector 10, the power module, and the emergency cut-off valve.
[0112] Exemplarily, the power module uses hydraulic power to control the opening or closing of the emergency cut-off valve.
[0113] Although the above has been described by taking the power module using hydraulic power as an example, however, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it can use a variety of power sources, such as pneumatic power, electric drive, etc. Those skilled in the art can comprehensively consider according to the closing principle of the present invention and the actual application situation, as long as the principle of the present invention can be realized.
[0114] At the end of the gas injection and brine drainage operation, when the first pressure and gas detector 6 and the second pressure and gas detector 10 located underground receive pressure fluctuation signals, they will respectively transmit the pressure fluctuation signals to the signal receiving module through cables. After the signal receiving module receives the above pressure fluctuation signals sent by the first pressure and gas detector 6 and the second pressure and gas detector 10, it analyzes the pressure fluctuation signals. When the pressure signal threshold is exceeded, it will send an alarm signal to the ground control cabinet. The ground control cabinet sends an instruction to close the wellhead to the power module according to the alarm signal. When the power module receives the above instruction to close the wellhead, it closes the emergency cut-off valve at the ground wellhead according to the instruction, realizing the well closure operation and preventing gas from returning upward.
[0115] The basic conditions for a completion string of a compressed air energy storage reservoir brine drainage well can be adopted:
[0116] (1) The old well conditions of the old salt mine cavity are relatively good (the original wellhead sealing performance and the wellbore integrity are good);
[0117] (2) The salt cavity can at least conduct convective circulation through two old wells;
[0118] (3) One of the old wells has the function of closing the well (or has been plugged), to meet the subsequent sealing requirements;
[0119] (4) The wellhead position of the sediment drainage well can be adjusted according to the salt cavity conditions and ground conditions;
[0120] (5) The ground conditions can ensure that the sediment drainage well has a sufficient pre-target distance. The wellbore trajectory is adjusted according to different salt cavity shapes and formation conditions, and the ground conditions meet the drilling requirements.
[0121] Principles of the wellbore trajectory of the completion string of the sediment drainage well in a compressed air energy storage reservoir:
[0122] (1) It is recommended that the horizontal distance between the ground wellhead position of the sediment drainage well and the salt cavity boundary be greater than the third set threshold and meet the trajectory orientation requirements;
[0123] (2) Keep the verticality of the wellbore above the salt layer as much as possible, and control the kick-off point below the salt layer;
[0124] (3) The setting of the target point needs to be comprehensively judged by combining factors such as the shape of the salt cavity, historical cavity formation / salt extraction data, wellbore structure of old wells, and formation conditions;
[0125] (4) The target point should at least follow the principle of grasping the cavity entry point within the range of the sediment area at the bottom of the salt cavity. Otherwise, the sediment drainage well will lose its maximum application value;
[0126] (5) During the setting of the wellbore trajectory, it is also necessary to pay attention to avoiding the upper space of the salt cavity as much as possible to prevent the open hole section from entering the cavity in advance, which will bring difficulties to subsequent cementing and plugging of the sediment drainage well.
[0127] Determining the wellbore using the above wellbore trajectory principles can avoid the upper cavity of the salt cavity to prevent premature entry into the cavity; the casing is run into the salt layer section to isolate the upper non-salt rock layer section, reducing the influence of the upper formation on the brine drainage channel; effectively reducing the target distance leaves more space for the selection of the wellhead position; retaining a sufficient length of the open hole section to prevent premature entry into the cavity during the second drilling and unable to complete the cementing operation.
[0128] Exemplarily, the third set threshold is 100m.
[0129] Although the above text has taken the third set threshold of 100m as an example for exemplary illustration, however, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it can be set to multiple values, such as 105m, 110m, 115m, etc. Those skilled in the art can comprehensively consider according to the drilling principle of the sediment drainage well of the present invention and the actual application situation, as long as the principle of the present invention can be realized.
[0130] Completion string structure: 139.7mm screen pipe 11 + tubing 7 + liner hanger 4. The main purpose is to divide the open hole section from the bottom inlet point to the casing shoe depth, reducing the impact of wellbore sloughing on brine drainage. Then, lower the 48.3mm tubing 7 with a pressure and gas detector and a bypass valve at the bottom into the well. Two pressure and gas detectors need to be installed in the completion string. The position of the second pressure and gas detector 10 is at the end of the 48.3mm tubing 7, near the inlet point of the sediment brine drainage well. The position of the first pressure and gas detector 6 is in the middle of the entire 48.3mm tubing 7. One or two casings above the two pressure and gas detectors need to be connected to the bypass valve. The main function of the bypass valve is to lead out the signal transmission cable of the pressure and gas detector from the inside of the string. After the signal transmission cable is led out from the inside of the string, it goes through the annulus between the 48.3mm tubing 7 and the 139.7mm screen pipe 11 until it is led out from the wellhead, mainly for facilitating the subsequent connection of the upper tubing 7. The accuracy of the pressure and gas detector needs to be less than 3%.
[0131] Functions and roles of the completion string: When it comes to the end stage of gas injection and brine drainage, at the beginning, a small amount of gas enters the sediment brine drainage well from the inlet point. The pressure and gas detectors at the bottom and middle of the tubing 7 detect the pressure fluctuations and changes in gas content, and transmit the electrical signals to the wellhead emergency cut-off valve. The emergency cut-off valve immediately opens and closes the wellhead, thus achieving the function of protecting the ground low-pressure pipeline.
[0132] Embodiment
[0133] Adopt the conventional three-opening wellbore structure, open-hole completion, bit program: Ф374.6mm bit + Ф241.3mm bit + Ф152.4mm bit; casing program: Ф273.1mm casing + Ф177.8mm casing; during the actual drilling process, in the salt layer section, that is, the lower part of the second opening and the third opening well section, a saturated brine drilling fluid system is used for drilling; it is recommended to use N80 casing for the production casing 3, and conventional cementing method is adopted, with a brine cement slurry system, and the cement returns to the surface. After drilling into the salt cavity with the open hole 8, lower the 139.7mm screen pipe 11 + tubing 7 + liner hanger 4. The main purpose is to divide the open hole section from the bottom inlet point to the casing shoe depth, reducing the impact of wellbore sloughing on brine drainage. Then, lower the 48.3mm tubing 7 with a pressure and gas detector and a bypass valve at the bottom into the well. When it comes to the end stage of gas injection and brine drainage, at the beginning, a small amount of gas enters the sediment brine drainage well from the inlet point. The pressure and gas detectors at the bottom and middle of the tubing 7 detect the pressure fluctuations and changes in gas content, and transmit the electrical signals to the wellhead emergency cut-off valve. The emergency cut-off valve immediately opens and closes the wellhead, thus achieving the function of protecting the ground low-pressure pipeline.

Understand the formation conditions near the cavity entry point through the bottom exploration operation. After waiting for the pressure to stabilize, lower the completion string of the sediment drainage well for a compressed air energy storage reservoir.
