Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas well cementing, and particularly relates to a device and method for evaluating water invasion of cement slurry. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, major oilfields at home and abroad have gradually entered the middle and late stages of exploration and development. With the in-depth development of oilfield water injection, formation water production has occurred to varying degrees in each block, and a multi-pressure system with coexisting underground high-pressure, normal-pressure, and low-pressure layers exists. In some oilfields, the formation pressure system is even disordered. At the same time, it is difficult to fully implement the measures of stopping production and injection to improve the cementing quality of adjustment wells. During the cementing process, formation fluids are still in a seepage state, and cement is easily eroded by formation water in the annulus, affecting the bonding quality of the cement stone interface and forming micro-gaps, seriously affecting the sealing integrity of the wellbore. Existing cement slurry waterproof invasion instruments and methods mostly consider the influence of formation water erosion on cement slurry after the cement slurry is displaced in place, and do not consider the erosion of cement slurry by formation water under the displacement state. In engineering practice, when other conditions are the same (such as cement slurry performance, construction parameters, formation temperature, etc.), the cementing quality of long water layer sections is significantly worse than that of short water layer sections, indicating that formation water also has an obvious erosion effect on cement slurry during the displacement process. It is necessary to consider the influence of water invasion during displacement on the performance of cement slurry in the design of cement slurry waterproof invasion performance evaluation methods and related devices.
[0003] Chinese patent document with publication number CN106640062A discloses a simulation evaluation instrument and method for water invasion of cement slurry for well cementing. This evaluation instrument mainly consists of a kettle body, a water bath, an intermediate container, and a nitrogen source. There are kettle body top cover A and kettle body top cover B at the upper part of the kettle body, and a kettle body bottom cover at the lower part; there is cement slurry and a simulated core inside the kettle body, and there is a vertically non-penetrating hole in the center of the simulated core; kettle body top cover A is connected to the intermediate container and the nitrogen source through a water inlet, kettle body top cover B is connected to the nitrogen source through an air injection port, and the kettle body bottom cover has 2 cement slurry injection ports and an air outlet. Although this device can simulate the process of water invasion in cementing, evaluate the water resistance of the cement slurry system, and also measure the bonding strength and channeling pressure at the contact interface between the simulated core and the cement slurry. However, during the experiment, the cement slurry in this device does not flow, and it still evaluates the influence of formation water erosion on cement slurry after the cement slurry is displaced in place, without considering the influence of water invasion during displacement on the performance of cement slurry. Summary of the Invention

[0066] Example 5:
[0067] Based on Example 4, an evaluation method for a cement slurry water invasion evaluation device includes the following steps:
[0068] S1. The slurry cup cylinder 202 is connected above the bottom cover 203. The central rod 1 with the simulated core 104 saturated with water is placed into the slurry cup cylinder 202 (the conical tip at the lower end of the slurry shaft 102 is placed in the conical groove 2031 of the bottom cover, ensuring that only the tip contacts the bottom cover). Prepared cement slurry is added into the slurry cup cylinder 202 (the cement slurry is prepared according to the standard of GB / T10238). A pressing member is placed above the slurry cup cylinder 202 and the upper cover 201 is connected; a connecting block 103 and a locator 204 are installed on the slurry shaft 102 passing through the upper cover 201, completing the assembly of the slurry cup 2 and the central rod 1;
[0069] S2. The assembled slurry cup 2 and central rod 1 are placed into the autoclave cylinder 302. Simulated formation water is added into the annulus between the autoclave cylinder 302 and the slurry cup 2. The central rod 1 passing through the locator 204 is located in the central hole 3011 of the autoclave cover 301. The autoclave cover 301 is covered on the autoclave cylinder 302. The liquid output end (simulated formation water output end) of the booster pump 1 305 is connected to the sealing joint 2 304 through a pipeline, and the sealing joint 2 304 is connected inside the central hole 3011; the assembly of the central rod 1, the slurry cup 2 and the autoclave body 3 is completed;
[0070] S3. Turn on the computer 303, establish connections with the pressure control device and the temperature control device, and start control with the cement slurry entering the annulus between the central rod 1 and the slurry cup cylinder 202, including the following specific steps:
[0071] S31. Drive the slurry cup 2 to rotate by controlling the motor 310 (the motor speed is adjusted according to the real-time flow rate of the cement slurry. It is recommended to use 150 r / min as the benchmark speed for the conventional displacement rate. When the displacement decreases, the speed is adjusted proportionally), keeping the cement slurry in a simulated flowing state; determine the shearing time of the cement slurry by the blade 105 according to the flowing time of the cement slurry in the annulus during the actual displacement process, so as to distinguish the different impacts on the cement slurry caused by long and short water layer sections;
[0072] S32. Control the temperature control device (heating wire) to gradually heat up the cement slurry (in accordance with the computer program settings) to the bottom hole circulating temperature;
[0073] S33. Control the booster pump 1 305 to raise the pressure inside the central rod 1 to the target pressure, simulating the formation pressure; control the booster pump 2 306 to raise the pressure of the simulated formation water in the autoclave body 3 to the target pressure, simulating the liquid column pressure of the drilling fluid and the cementing fluid;
[0074] Specifically, control the first booster pump 305 and the second booster pump 306 to increase the pressure of the central rod 1 and the simulated formation water pressure in the autoclave 3 to the drilling fluid, cementing fluid column pressure and formation pressure when the cement slurry just exits the casing at the same pressure increase rate. Generally, at this time, the drilling fluid and cementing fluid column pressure should be greater than the formation pressure. When boosting the pressure, the pressure of the central rod 1 and the medium pressure in the autoclave should be increased to the formation pressure (smaller pressure) at the same speed, and then the central rod 1 stops boosting the pressure. The simulated formation water in the autoclave 3 slowly rises to the drilling fluid and cementing fluid column pressure to ensure the pressure difference between the central rod 1 and the cement slurry;
[0075] S34. According to the drilling fluid, cementing fluid column pressure, formation pressure and formation temperature during the displacement process, the computer 303 simulates the pressure and temperature changes during the displacement process by controlling the pressure control device and the temperature control device;
[0076] Specifically, according to the drilling fluid, cementing fluid column pressure, formation pressure and formation temperature during the displacement process, the computer 303 controls the real-time pressure of the first booster pump 305 and the second booster pump 306, as well as the heating wire and the cooling water circulation pump to ensure the pressure and temperature changes during the simulated displacement process; during the experiment, the computer 303 controls the first electromagnetic pressure relief valve 314 and the second electromagnetic pressure relief valve 315 to ensure that the pressure of the central rod and the simulated formation water in the autoclave 3 is at the program set value and records the flow rate;
[0077] S35. When the simulated displacement experiment is completed, the motor 310 stops rotating, and the pressure in the autoclave 3 is controlled to reduce the cement slurry to the clear water column pressure during the initial strength formation period;
[0078] Specifically, when the simulated displacement experiment is completed, the motor stops rotating, and the pressure in the autoclave is slowly reduced to the clear water column pressure during the initial strength formation period of the cement slurry. At this time, there should be a positive pressure difference between the pressure of the central rod (formation pressure) and the pressure of the autoclave (clear water column pressure), and it is static for 24 h or 48 h, based on the electric logging time of the same type of wells in this oilfield;
[0079] S37. Remove the central rod 1 and the cement ring, and measure the cementing strength between the simulated core and the cement by the gas channeling method to complete the evaluation of the water invasion of the cement slurry.
[0080] Existing cement slurry water invasion prevention instruments and methods mostly consider the influence of formation water erosion on cement slurry after the cement slurry is displaced in place, without considering the erosion of cement slurry by formation water during the displacement process. In engineering practice, when other conditions are the same (such as cement slurry performance, construction parameters, formation temperature, etc.), the cementing quality in long water layer sections is significantly worse than that in short water layer sections, indicating that formation water also has an obvious erosion effect on cement slurry during the displacement process. It is necessary to consider the influence of water invasion during the displacement process on the performance of cement slurry in the evaluation method of cement slurry water invasion prevention performance and the design of related devices. The present invention simulates the displacement process of cement slurry in a water-bearing formation, considering the factor of different lengths of water layer sections encountered by the cement slurry during the displacement process. By adjusting the stirring time of the cement slurry by the water-containing simulated core and the impeller, it simulates the erosion of the cement slurry by water layer sections of different lengths, which is closer to the actual working conditions on site.
