Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of drilling and prospecting technology, and relates to a flexible centralizing transverse vibration reduction method for large annulus of ultra-deep well. BACKGROUND

[0002] The current oil and gas reservoir occurrence characteristics are regularly distributed in deep strata, and the proportion of deep strata resources in proven reserves is increasing year by year. Developing deep wells and ultra-deep wells has become an inevitable trend of resource development. The increase in well depth means the increase in wellbore size, but the large annular space between the drill string and the well wall caused by large-size wellbore leads to severe transverse vibration and alternating stress, greatly increasing the risk of drill string fatigue failure. Secondly, the cumulative effect of ultra-long drill pipe gravity load causes uncontrollable spiral buckling of the bottom hole assembly, resulting in a sharp drop in drilling pressure transmission efficiency and instability of downhole tool function, which seriously restricts the efficiency and safety of deep well operation. The system-level risk caused by the coupling of the above mechanical behaviors needs to be resolved through structural innovation and dynamic control technology breakthrough. In conventional drilling operations, stabilizers (centralizers) are often used to constrain the transverse displacement of the drill string at a specific position, achieving the centralizing effect of the drill string. However, the continuous hard contact between the rigid damping interface and the well wall causes high-frequency impact, leading to a sharp increase in drill string composite stress concentration and casing damage risk, making it difficult to meet the needs of large annulus working conditions in ultra-deep wells.

[0003] The problem of drill string transverse vibration is particularly prominent in deep and ultra-deep wells during actual drilling. Not only does it affect the construction efficiency, but it also poses a serious safety risk. Frequent and severe vibration leads to alternating stress of the drill string, causing fatigue failure of the drill string, thereby increasing the construction cost and causing significant economic losses. The existing method to reduce transverse vibration is to use stabilizers to constrain the transverse displacement of the drill string at a specific position, achieving the centralizing effect of the drill string in the casing. However, the continuous hard contact between the rigid damping interface and the well wall causes high-frequency impact, leading to a sharp increase in drill string composite stress concentration and casing damage risk, making it difficult to meet the needs of large annulus working conditions in ultra-deep wells. In view of the above factors, the inventors propose an integrated drill string damping method for deep and ultra-deep wells, which converts drill string vibration energy into elastic potential energy of leaf springs and drill string axial pressure, achieving the effect of limiting the drill string in deep and ultra-deep wells, and designing a flexible stabilizer for the drill string at the bottom of the well to utilize this part of destructive energy in the field of deep well speed-up, turning harm into benefit, in order to make new breakthroughs in the field of deep well speed-up.

[0007] Further, after the dynamic model is established, the linear stiffness matrix of the double-node three-dimensional Timoshenko beam element is The linear stiffness matrix is derived by the following energy integral formula: ; E is the Young's modulus, G is the shear modulus, A is the cross-sectional area, I x and I yz are the torsional and bending inertia respectively, L x is the element length, is the node displacement vector.

The following examples will help those skilled in the art to further understand the application, but do not limit the application in any form. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the application. These are within the scope of protection of the application.

[0020] Example 1 The deep well drill string vibration whole chain management system comprises a drill string vibration prediction module, a logging instrument, a logging instrument connection device, a central processing computer and a client computer.

[0021] The drill string vibration prediction module inputs drilling engineering information, calculates the drill string vibration distribution pattern of the whole well section, designs the running position and number of the centralizing and damping tool, and inputs the central processing computer. The drill string vibration prediction is performed by the following method, which is advanced in that it can simultaneously couple axial, torsional and lateral vibrations to comprehensively evaluate the vibration intensity of the whole well section.

[0022] The drill string finite element dynamics model is constructed by using the energy method: first, the displacement field general formula of the drill string element is solved by using the node displacement boundary condition, and then it is rewritten into the target form of the node displacement vector multiplied by the modal function matrix; the displacement field is substituted into the general expression of kinetic energy and potential energy to obtain the complete calculation formula of the drill string element energy, and finally the element mass matrix and element stiffness matrix are derived through the Lagrange equation to form the full coupling dynamics equation of the drill string.

[0023] ; wherein, represents total kinetic energy of the system; represents total potential energy of the system; represents external work done on the system.

[0024] The drill string comprises a drill pipe, a drill collar, a stabilizer and a drill bit, and behaves as a beam structure with lateral constraints at both ends in a three-dimensional wellbore; in the present application, a finite element method is adopted to establish a drill string finite element dynamics model, the drill string is discretized into a plurality of units, each unit adopts a double-node three-dimensional Timoshenko beam element model, as shown in the drawing, the drill string is discretized into a double-node three-dimensional Timoshenko beam element process, each unit contains two nodes, each node contains six degrees of freedom: three translational degrees of freedom Figure 1 , two lateral rotational degrees of freedom and one torsional degree of freedom . .

[0025] The drill string motion can be represented by the node displacement vector of the beam element as follows: ; The first and seventh terms of the displacement field are taken as the axial displacement difference mode of the unit, and the boundary conditions of the unit nodes are: ; The second, third, eighth and ninth terms of the displacement field are taken as the lateral displacement difference mode of the unit, and the boundary conditions of the unit nodes are: ; The kinetic energy of the double-node three-dimensional Timoshenko beam element contains two parts: translational kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy. The total kinetic energy expression of the beam element is obtained by bringing the displacement field expression in each direction into the general expression of the kinetic energy, and finally the unit mass matrix is obtained by means of the Lagrange equation.

[0026] The translational kinetic energy is: ; The rotational kinetic energy is: ; The total kinetic energy of the integrated translational kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy of the beam element used in the present application is: ; The unit mass matrix can be obtained by Lagrange equation, for the convenience of expression, the unit mass matrix is divided into two parts, wherein represents the inertia mass including three translations and rotation around axis, represents the inertia mass including rotation around axis, wherein, is the polar moment of inertia: , unit .

[0027] ; ; ; The unit mass matrix is spliced into the total mass matrix through the coincident nodes of the adjacent two units.

[0028] The stiffness matrix is an important matrix for describing the deformation resistance of the drill string unit, which reflects the relationship between the force and deformation of the unit in different directions. In the application, the stiffness matrix is derived by establishing the total strain energy of the beam unit, which not only includes the linear stiffness part, but also considers the nonlinear stiffness part under the coupling action of axial force and bending moment, axial force and torque, torque and bending moment, etc. The linear stiffness matrix is independent of the node displacement, mainly reflecting the basic bearing capacity of the drill string unit; and the nonlinear stiffness matrix is related to the node displacement of the unit, which is used to describe the mechanical response of the drill string under complex working conditions such as large deformation, which is crucial for accurately simulating the vibration behavior of the drill string in ultra-deep wells.

[0029] The general expression form of the potential energy of the two-node beam unit is: ; The strain expression is: ; ; ; ; The displacement field expression is: ; ; ; Among them, , and are the displacements of any point on the cross section of the drill string in the , and directions, , , are the deformation angles around the x, y, z coordinate axes respectively. In addition, according to the generalized Hooke's law, the following equation can be obtained: ; The strain expression, displacement field expression and generalized Hooke's law expression are brought into the potential energy formula to obtain the total strain energy of the beam element : ; The element stiffness matrix is obtained through the Lagrange equation as follows: ; wherein is the element linear stiffness matrix, which is independent of the node displacement.

[0030] ; , , is the element nonlinear stiffness matrix, which is related to the element node displacement. respectively represent the generalized displacement in the three directions corresponding to the last time in the iterative solution. represents the nonlinear stiffness matrix affecting the axial deformation of the drill string under the coupling action of the axial force and the bending moment, represents the nonlinear stiffness matrix affecting the bending deformation of the drill string under the coupling action of the axial force and the torque; represents the nonlinear stiffness matrix under the coupling action of the torque and the bending moment.

[0031] ; ; ; The assembly of the mass matrix is the same as that of the element stiffness matrix, and the element stiffness matrix is spliced into the overall stiffness matrix through the coincident nodes of the adjacent two elements.

[0032] The damping of the drill string vibration is represented by Rayleigh damping C as follows: ; wherein: and are damping coefficients, which can be determined by the natural frequency of the drill string system and the corresponding damping ratio. In general, the equivalent damping of the drilling fluid can be included, is the overall mass matrix, is the overall stiffness matrix.

[0033] ​The gravity component of the beam element in x, y, z directions can be expressed as: ; where G is the equivalent gravity of the drill string per unit length, is the angle between the beam element axis and the vertical direction. Thus, the equivalent node force of the gravity vector can be written as: ; The eccentricity problem often occurs in the drill pipe due to manufacturing problems, so a certain centrifugal force will be generated during operation. The centrifugal force of the beam element in x, y, z directions caused by self-rotation is expressed as: ; where e is the eccentricity, is the initial eccentric angle. Similarly, the equivalent node force of the centrifugal force vector is written as: ; In the dynamic analysis of the drill string, the boundary conditions are crucial. They mainly include the upper end boundary condition, the lower end boundary condition and the well wall contact condition.

[0034] The upper end boundary of the drill string is connected with the rotary table or the top drive, and at the connection position, it is subjected to the upward tension of the hook (i.e. the hook load) and the driving force from the rotary table, which are the axial boundary and the torsional boundary of the upper end of the drill string, respectively. This boundary condition corresponds to the freedom constraint of the first node at the uppermost end of the drill string, allowing only axial displacement and torsional motion around the x-axis, reducing the original six degrees of freedom to two degrees of freedom.

[0035] The lower end boundary condition of the drill string is the constraint condition of the rock layer on the drill bit during drilling, including the axial weight on bit (WOB) and the friction torque of the rock layer on the drill bit in the torsional direction . During drilling, the lower end of the drill string is subjected to the unstable weight on bit generated by the interaction between the drill bit and the rock layer. First, an initial weight on bit value is set, which is placed in the time step loop, and the weight on bit will be dynamically adjusted with the drill bit displacement and the stratum response. The subsequent weight on bit update is determined by the drill bit-formation contact model. The size of the weight on bit at the next time depends on the rock boundary displacement and the drilling rate , and the weight on bit expression is: ; where is the drill bit-formation contact stiffness, is the damping coefficient, is the external excitation created, is the drill bit displacement. The drilling rate and the stratum displacement is expressed as: ; ; wherein, , are empirical coefficients of drilling rate, is real-time WOB, is bit torsional angular velocity.

[0036] When the drill bit rotates, frictional torque is generated between the drill bit and the rock formation, and the frictional torque is expressed as: ; wherein, is a rotational speed direction sign function, is an equivalent friction radius, is a friction coefficient.

[0037] When the radial displacement of the drill string is greater than the gap between the drill string and the wellbore, the drill string will be constrained by the well wall.

[0038] As shown in Figure 2 , the drill string is discretized into multiple units, and only the contact between the nodes and the well wall is considered. When the nodes come into contact with the well wall, the drill string will be subjected to the action of the normal force, the tangential friction force and the additional friction torque. When the well wall elastically deforms and recovers, the drill string will be bounced back, and the nodes will become free again. The normal force can be expressed as: ; wherein, is the wellbore diameter, is the drill string diameter; is the radial velocity of the drill string; is the radial displacement of the drill string; is the stiffness of the well wall; and are the velocities of the nodes before and after the collision, respectively.

[0039] The existing drill string model usually only considers the tangential friction, as shown in Figure 3 , the drill string model in the present application comprehensively considers the axial friction and the tangential friction, and the total friction force is solved by calculating the radial pressure, and then it is decomposed into the axial friction force and the tangential friction force. This calculation scheme is more in line with the actual friction effect generated by the contact between the drill string and the well wall.

[0040] ; ; ; Example 2 AsFigure 4 As shown in the drill string vibration model, the vibration reduction centralizer mainly plays a role by changing the local stiffness of the drill string and optimizing the contact force distribution. The essence is to regard the vibration reduction centralizer as a short section with large size but short length added to the drill string model, and to suppress the lateral motion of the drill string through stiffness regulation and boundary constraint.

[0041] By constructing the overall mass matrix, stiffness matrix, damping matrix and force matrix, the dynamic equation of the entire drill string model is formed: ; Wherein, , , and are the generalized acceleration, velocity, displacement and external force matrix of all nodes of the full borehole drill string; , and are the overall mass matrix, overall damping matrix and overall stiffness matrix of the assembled full borehole drill string.

[0042] As shown in Figure 5 , first, the basic parameters of the drill string are set, the drill string is discretized, and the mass, stiffness and damping matrix of the unit are calculated, then the unit matrix is assembled into a global matrix according to the node freedom degree, and the stiffness matrix is corrected according to the number, action position and additional stiffness of the centralizer; Then the boundary conditions are processed, and the load system is constructed, including gravity, centrifugal force, well wall contact force and dynamic drilling pressure, etc.; Then the Newmark-β method (β=1 / 4, γ=1 / 2) is used for iterative calculation, each time step is 0.1 ms, the drilling model and the contact state are updated synchronously, and the dynamic equation is solved, and the node displacement, velocity and acceleration are saved. Before the next cycle, update the external force of each node of the drill string to ensure the accuracy of its physical state. Finally, it is judged whether it needs to continue to cycle. If it needs, return to the parameter update step; if the simulation is completed, end the solution.

[0043] The mud logging instrument is connected to the central processing computer to perform real-time drill string vibration risk assessment, specify the vibration reduction scheme, and compare with the predicted drill string vibration situation to optimize the running scheme of the vibration reduction tool.

[0044] The working principle of the flexible centralizing and vibration reduction device for super deep well large annulus is as follows: the lateral vibration reduction and centralizing device reduces the lateral vibration of the drill string through Figure 7The tool upper joint 1 is connected to the upper drilling tool assembly. The tool lower joint 7 is used for connecting the rigid centralizer and the flexible damping module in series, and provides the required strength of the tool assembly. The flexible damping module is installed in the middle part between the two rigid centralizers, and the buffer block 3 and the leaf spring 8 are inserted into the limiting groove between the upper buffer sleeve 2 and the lower buffer sleeve 4, and are used to absorb the energy generated by the radial collision with the well wall. The leaf spring 8 is provided with a floating space in the upper buffer sleeve 2, and the upper end part is free, and the lower end part is fixed to the lower buffer sleeve 4 through the hexagonal bolt 5. The structure design enables the leaf spring to generate downward impact force while damping, and realizes certain axial pressure stabilizing effect. In addition, the tool is provided with the rigid centralizer on both sides of the flexible damping module, and the design enables the flexible damping part to fail even in severe working conditions, and still ensures certain centralizing of the drill string, as shown in Figure 6 The upper rigid centralizer is integrated with the tool lower joint 7, and the rigid centralizer 6 is connected to the lower end part of the tool lower joint 7 through the thread. Finally, the whole device is connected to the drill bit through the tool lower joint. The device has strong flow guiding capacity, and optimizes the drilling fluid flow field: the inclined gaps between the five flow guiding grooves of the rigid module and the five damping buffer blocks of the flexible module are nearly in the shape of a straight line, as shown in Figure 8 The side surface of the damping buffer block is designed as a smooth inclined surface with an inclination angle of 30°, and there is no vertical dead angle. The fluid scouring capacity is strong, the occurrence rate of the mud cake can be significantly reduced, the energy loss of the fluid due to the right angle impact can be avoided, the stable laminar flow state can be maintained, the drilling fluid can be guided to flow smoothly, the vortex and the energy loss can be reduced, and the drilling fluid flows more smoothly.
