Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of drilling and completion friction resistance detection, and in particular relates to a casing-in-casing fixed casing friction resistance detection device and a detection method. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, my country's dependence on foreign oil and natural gas has steadily increased. As a major manufacturing nation, energy-related technologies are crucial for China's development of its real economy. Drawing on the successful experience of the US shale oil and gas revolution, large-scale volumetric fracturing technology has been rapidly applied to the development of low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs since the beginning of this century, enabling the establishment and expansion of production in many of my country's major oil and gas basins and major oil companies. For example, the Changqing Oilfield has produced over 60 million tons for many consecutive years, and the Yanchang Oilfield has successfully exceeded 20 million tons of oil and gas equivalent.

[0003] However, a prominent development challenge facing these oil and gas basins is the rapid decline in production from oil and gas wells. This has resulted in a large number of low-yield, low-efficiency, and older, highly deviated and horizontal wells becoming "dormant wells." With the rapid advancement of fracturing technology, the scale of fracturing has grown, the methods employed have become more diverse, and the volume of reservoirs being transformed has also increased. However, due to the early construction of these "dormant wells," many reservoir sections have not been fully transformed due to the limitations of existing technology, and thus hold significant potential for recovery. Therefore, re-fracture of these under-reformed sections of these older wells to restore production has become a crucial production-boosting measure for oil and gas fields.

[0004] A new approach in current refracturing techniques involves running a small casing within the existing casing, performing a "casing-in-casing" method to rebuild the wellbore before conducting a larger fracturing operation. Field trials have demonstrated that this method offers the best scalability and effectiveness in refracturing, significantly increasing stimulation volume and production. To maximize the scale of stimulation, the casing required for this "casing-in-casing" method must be sufficiently large. However, in low-permeability reservoirs, many older wells are highly deviated or horizontal, and already have existing casing with a small inner diameter. The annular clearance is extremely small (for example, running a 4.5-inch casing within an 8.5-inch casing, the annular clearance is one-tenth that of a conventional one). This makes running casing in this "casing-in-casing" method extremely challenging and risky. Therefore, the key to the success of this type of refracturing lies in determining whether the casing can be safely run. If the casing cannot be fully lowered, its lowering limit cannot be predicted, making it crucial to predict or test the friction resistance during casing running. There are some existing algorithms for calculating and predicting the friction resistance of casing installation, but these are all based on conventional operating conditions, where the annular clearance generally exceeds 19mm. Other tests are not applicable to the new ultra-small clearance technology of casing-in-casing. The main difficulties and requirements for repeating fracturing and inserting casing in such old wells are as follows: First, due to years of production, the wellbore of the old well has a large amount of scale, sand, etc. on the wellbore, which needs to be cleaned; second, due to the influence of the original wellbore trajectory and years of production, there are many wide and narrow sections, twisted sections, and deformed sections in the wellbore, which makes it difficult to predict and test the friction resistance; third, some sections of the original wellbore may have casing wear or wall thickness changes, and whether they can continue to serve subsequent fracturing or production (whether new casing needs to be inserted into the entire wellbore) needs to be evaluated. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the defects of the existing technology, the present invention provides a casing friction resistance detection device and detection method for casing lowering during the casing-in-casing process, which can simulate the friction resistance of different casing lowering conditions during the casing-in-casing process.

[0051] A casing friction resistance detection device for casing-in-casing, comprising a first pipe body 1, a second pipe body 2, a third pipe body 3, a fourth pipe body 4, a weighted pipe 10, a fifth pipe body 5, and a drill bit mechanism connected in sequence; the weighted pipe 10 is used to pressurize the drill bit mechanism;

[0052] The second tube body 2 and the third tube body 3 are rotationally connected via a first meshing rotation assembly that drives the third tube body 3 to rotate circumferentially; the third tube body 3 and the fourth tube body 4 are rotationally connected via a second meshing rotation assembly that drives the fourth tube body 4 to rotate circumferentially;

[0053] The second tube body 2 and the third tube body 3 are both provided with a friction resistance detection assembly 81 of the same structure, which is used to detect the friction resistance between the casing and the wellbore during the process of advancing against the wall.

[0054] As the detection device advances and the drill bit mechanism itself performs drilling action, it drives the detection device deeper to perform wellbore detection work. Through the friction resistance detection component 81 provided, the friction resistance between the casing and the wellbore can be tested during the process of advancing against the wall, providing a decision-making basis for the safe lowering of the casing in the later stage, thereby ensuring the safe lowering of the casing in the later stage.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] On the basis of the above embodiment 1, the friction resistance detection assembly 81 includes a mounting ring 815, a pressure sensor 818 connected to the mounting ring 815, a second movable ring 814 and a first movable ring 811; the mounting ring 815 is fixed on the corresponding tube body, the first movable ring 811 and the second movable ring 814 are slidably arranged on the corresponding tube body; the pressure sensor 818 and the second movable ring 814, the second movable ring 814 and the first movable ring 811 are connected by a spring 816; the mounting ring 815 and the second movable ring 814, the second movable ring 814 and the first movable ring The rings 811 are all connected by a number of connecting rod assemblies distributed circumferentially along the second movable ring 814, and the connecting rod assemblies are located outside the spring 816; the connecting rod assemblies include a first connecting rod 812 and a second connecting rod 813, and the two ends of the first connecting rod 812 and the second connecting rod 813 that are close to each other are hingedly connected to the same contact wheel 817, and the two ends of the first connecting rod 812 and the second connecting rod 813 that are far away from each other are hingedly connected to the mounting ring 815 and the second movable ring 814 respectively, or the two ends of the first connecting rod 812 and the second connecting rod 813 that are far away from each other are hingedly connected to the second movable ring 814 and the first movable ring 811 respectively.

[0057] In this embodiment, a friction resistance detection assembly 81 is provided, the mounting ring 815 is fixed, and the second movable ring 814 and the first movable ring 811 are both slidingly provided. When the detection device advances in the casing under different environments, a certain friction resistance is generated when the contact wheel 817 simulates moving forward and sticks to the wall, pushing the first connecting rod 812 and the second connecting rod 813 connected to the contact wheel 817 to slide backward along the axial direction of the device, driving the second movable ring 814 and the first movable ring 811 to slide in the direction close to the mounting ring 815, the length of the spring 816 is compressed, and the corresponding pressure sensor 818 reading changes. The force value tested by the friction resistance detection assembly 81 provided on the corresponding tube body can be obtained through the degree of change in the reading of the pressure sensor 818.

[0058] Furthermore, the contact wheel 817 is of rotating or fixed type, simulating the working conditions with a roller centralizer or a rigid centralizer respectively.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] Based on the above-mentioned embodiment 2, the first meshing rotation assembly includes a first connecting sleeve 912 fixedly connected to the second tubular body 2. The end of the first connecting sleeve 912 is rotatably provided with a first external gear ring 914 connected to the end of the third tubular body 3. A first motor 911 is also provided on the outer wall of the first connecting sleeve 912. The output shaft of the first motor 911 is connected to a first gear 913 that meshes and transmits with the first external gear ring 914 and is located on the same plane. The first external gear ring 914 is rotatably arranged relative to the first connecting sleeve 912, and the two can rotate. When the first motor 911 is in operation, it drives the first gear 913 to mesh and transmit with the first external gear ring 914, thereby driving the connected third tubular body 3 to rotate 360 ​​degrees, thereby driving the friction resistance detection assembly 81 on the third tubular body 3 to rotate, simulating the working condition of rotating casing and detecting the friction resistance between the casing and the wellbore.

[0061] Furthermore, the second meshing rotation assembly includes a second connecting sleeve 112 fixedly connected to the third pipe body 3. The end of the second connecting sleeve is rotatably provided with a second external gear ring 113 connected to the end of the fourth pipe body 4. A second motor 111 is also provided on the outer wall of the second connecting sleeve 112. The output shaft of the second motor 111 is connected to a second gear 114 that meshes and drives with the second external gear ring 113 and is coplanar with the second external gear ring 113. When the second motor 111 is in operation, it drives the second gear 114 to mesh and drive with the second external gear ring 113, driving the fourth pipe body 4 to rotate along the end of the second connecting sleeve 112, thereby driving the weighted pipe 10, the fifth pipe body 5, and the drill bit mechanism to rotate, improving the dirt cleaning efficiency of the horizontal section and the tool anti-jamming effect, so as to adapt to the exploration environment of horizontal wells.

[0062] Example 4

[0063] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 3, the drill mechanism includes a connecting shaft 611 and a mounting seat 612 which are sequentially connected to the fifth tube body 5. The outer wall of the mounting seat 612 is evenly distributed with a number of rectangular grooves. The two ends of the rectangular grooves are respectively provided with transmission shafts 616 which are connected by a conveyor belt 613. The outer wall of the conveyor belt 613 is evenly provided with a boring head 614. The mounting seat 612 is also provided with a number of third motors 617 corresponding to the number of rectangular grooves. The output shaft of each third motor 617 is connected to one of the transmission shafts 616 in the rectangular groove. The transmission direction of the conveyor belt 613 is parallel to the forward direction of the drill bit. Figure 4 As shown, the third motor 617 works, driving the transmission shaft 616 to rotate and the conveyor belt 613 to transmit, thereby driving the tunneling head 614 to drill parallel to the forward direction of the casing, so as to carry out the in-depth work of cleaning the wellbore.

[0064] Furthermore, four sets of boring heads 614 are evenly distributed along the outer wall of the conveyor belt 613, circumferentially around the mounting base 612. The digging sections of the two central sets of boring heads 614 face the connecting shaft 611, while the digging sections of the two peripheral sets of boring heads 614 face away from the connecting shaft 611. When the conveyor belt 613 encounters difficulties in advancing, a third motor 617 controls the forward and reverse movement of the conveyor belt 613, enabling the back-and-forth movement of the conveyor belt 613 and switching the digging heads 614's digging direction. This facilitates the removal of surrounding debris and dirt, effectively improving the wellbore cleaning process.

[0065] Furthermore, the mounting base 612 is provided with a number of grooves corresponding to the number of rectangular slots. Each groove houses a driving roller 615. The driving roller 615 is connected to a drive shaft 616 connected to a third motor 617 via a mounting shaft. The driving direction of the driving roller 615 aligns with the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 613. With the driving roller 615, when the driving head 614 is operating, the driving shaft 616 rotates, driving the driving roller 615 to perform rotary cleaning operations. The driving head 614 assists in this, further improving the drilling efficiency.

[0066] Example 5

[0067] Based on the above-mentioned embodiment 4, two electromagnetic flaw detection modules 7 are symmetrically installed on each of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth pipe bodies 5. These electromagnetic flaw detection modules 7 utilize established technology (EMDS / MDT or DS-WC series) and fall within the scope of magnetic well logging. The law of electromagnetic induction serves as the theoretical basis for their application. They transmit DC pulses to the transmitting coil, which induces changes in the electromotive force at different points in time in the receiving coil and records the relevant information in real time. Changes in casing thickness or design flaws will cause corresponding changes in the induced electromotive force. Using analysis and calculation methods, the presence of cracks, holes, and other quality issues in single- and double-casing string structures can be accurately identified, thereby determining the actual wall thickness of the string. The symmetrical and linear distribution of the two electromagnetic flaw detection modules 7 across different sections of the detection device effectively improves detection efficiency and accuracy.

[0068] More preferably, the casing-in-casing friction resistance detection device has a hollow structure, and a one-way valve is provided in the hollow structure of the drill bit mechanism. The one-way valve can control the unidirectional flow of fluid from the first pipe body 1 to the drill bit mechanism and out of the drill bit mechanism, so that the fluid can remove impurities generated during the drilling process and then be discharged from the well, thereby preventing excessive impurities from contaminating the device.
