Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the process of extended reach well drilling operation, accurately predicting the fluid dynamics and hydraulic characteristics of drilling fluid in the annular space of the wellbore under the yield Bingham mode is the theoretical basis for accurately evaluating the real-time equivalent circulating density (ECD for short), and is crucial for the determination and effective management of wellbore pressure. Theoretical and experimental studies have shown that the pressure loss and fluid velocity distribution in the annular space of the wellbore are significantly affected by the fluid rheological properties, wellbore eccentricity and annular geometry.

[0003] The research on the eccentric annulus flow of non-Newtonian fluid has evolved from analytical exploration to multi-method cooperation. Early research mainly focused on Newtonian fluid, using the bipolar coordinate system analytical method, but it is difficult to extend to non-Newtonian fluid due to its complexity. After 1980, with the simplified model becoming the mainstream method, some scholars proposed using the slit model to equivalent the eccentric annulus to a variable height slit, and solving the power-law fluid flow by integrating the motion equation; another part of the scholars proposed the concentric annulus superposition method, which discretizes the eccentric annulus into infinite concentric ring elements, and obtains the analytical solution of power-law and Bingham fluid by combining geometric equivalence and rheological equation integration.

[0004] With the improvement of computing power, since 2000, the research on the eccentric annulus flow of non-Newtonian fluid has gradually adopted the analysis method combining numerical simulation and experiment. However, the existing theoretical model and analysis method mostly focus on the analysis of the dimensionless shear stress, shear rate and volume flow of the eccentric annulus relative to the concentric annulus, and a systematic method for fluid dynamics analysis of Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus of the wellbore has not been established, especially the analysis method of the friction pressure drop gradient in the eccentric annulus. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a method for fluid dynamics analysis of Bingham fluid in the eccentric annulus of the wellbore, which can provide a basis for quantitatively obtaining the drilling hydraulic parameters of the extended reach well and guiding the drilling operation of the extended reach well.
