Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drilling construction technology, specifically to a method and apparatus for determining the parameters of casing construction in ultra-deep wells with controlled pressure and accelerated speed. Background Technology
[0002] Casing installation refers to the operation of lowering steel casing into the wellbore during drilling. Specifically, during casing installation, the drilling rig lowers the casing one casing pipe at a time into the wellbore. Cement is then injected through the casing into the annulus between the wellbore and the formation to secure the casing and seal the formation. The cement is then allowed to solidify, forming a strong cement sheath. This achieves the goals of reinforcing the wellbore, preventing collapse, isolating different formations, and controlling downhole fluids.
[0003] In ultra-deep well operations, the surge pressure generated during casing installation can easily induce well leakage. Since the surge pressure is positively correlated with the casing installation speed—that is, the higher the speed, the greater the surge pressure—on-site operators often use a lower casing installation speed to avoid generating excessive surge pressure and inducing well leakage. However, a lower installation speed increases the installation time, thus increasing the project duration and development costs. Therefore, current casing installation processes incorporate special devices to control pressure during installation, ensuring the casing installation proceeds at a normal speed while preventing well leakage. For example, by adding a special sealing device, pressure control begins during the initial casing installation phase, effectively reducing bottom hole leakage.
[0004] However, controlling pressure during casing installation using the aforementioned method requires the pre-installation of specialized devices. Furthermore, during actual casing installation, these devices must be operated according to the progress of the installation to achieve pressure control. This undoubtedly increases the complexity and cost of casing installation in ultra-deep wells. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to provide a method for casing installation in ultra-deep wells that allows for normal installation speeds, avoids inducing well leakage, and is easy to operate.

The casing running speed can be set according to construction needs, and can be selected as 0.3 m / s; the casing running acceleration can also be set according to construction needs, and can be selected as 0.06 m / s. 2 .
[0091] The drilling basic data includes many data items, which will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.
[0092] The maximum excitation pressure during casing installation refers to the maximum instantaneous increase in well pressure caused by rapid casing movement or obstruction of drilling fluid flow during casing installation.

Alternatively, starting from the casing installation, the activation pressure can be calculated based on the current downhole data at regular intervals or at intervals, and the maximum pressure among all calculated activation pressures can be selected as the maximum activation pressure of the casing.
[0098] The drilling baseline data includes drilling fluid static shear force, well depth, annular outer diameter, and annular inner diameter; correspondingly, the resistance generated by the drilling fluid network structure calculated based on the drilling baseline data includes:

[0102] like Figure 2 As shown, the resistance generated by the drilling fluid mesh structure disappears after the drilling fluid flows. However, for safety reasons, an overestimation method is used, assuming that this force exists continuously during casing installation, and the maximum value of the three pressures is taken.
[0103] The drilling baseline data includes fluid flow state, original drilling fluid consistency coefficient, well depth, original drilling fluid flowability index, annular outer diameter, and annular inner diameter; correspondingly, the frictional resistance generated by the drilling fluid flow caused by the discharged annular fluid, calculated based on the casing running speed and the drilling baseline data, includes:

[0106] The calculation of the annular return speed based on the lower sleeve speed, the annular outer diameter, and the annular inner diameter includes:
[0107] The annular return velocity is calculated using the following formula:

[0109] Among them, V a It is the circular return speed, V p V is the casing speed, D is the annular outer diameter, and d is the annular inner diameter. a It is the annular return velocity, in m / s; V p1 is the casing speed, in m / s; D is the annular outer diameter, in m; d is the annular inner diameter, in m.
[0110] In addition to the formulas mentioned above, the annular return velocity can also be obtained through actual measurements, or the specific coefficients in the formulas can be adjusted according to the actual conditions of ultra-deep wells. No restrictions are imposed here.

[0115] Where p2 is the frictional resistance generated by the flow of drilling fluid due to the discharge of annular fluid, in MPa; K is the original drilling fluid consistency coefficient, in Pa·s. n H is the well depth in meters (m); n is the original drilling fluid flowability index, which is dimensionless; V a is the annular return velocity, in m / s; D is the outer diameter of the annular cavity, in m; d is the inner diameter of the annular cavity, in m.
[0116] The drilling baseline data includes fluid flow state, drilling fluid friction coefficient, original drilling fluid density, well depth, annular outer diameter, and annular inner diameter; correspondingly, the frictional resistance generated by the drilling fluid flow caused by the discharged annular fluid, calculated based on the casing running speed and the drilling baseline data, includes:
[0117] The annular return speed is calculated based on the lower sleeve speed, the annular outer diameter, and the annular inner diameter; this can be referred to the above embodiment for explanation, and will not be repeated here.
[0118] If the fluid flow state is determined to be turbulent, the frictional resistance is calculated based on the annular return velocity, the drilling fluid friction coefficient, the original drilling fluid density, the well depth, the outer diameter of the annulus, and the inner diameter of the annulus. The calculation of the frictional resistance based on the annular return velocity, the drilling fluid friction coefficient, the original drilling fluid density, the well depth, the outer diameter of the annulus, and the inner diameter of the annulus includes:
[0119] The frictional resistance is calculated using the following formula:
[0120]
[0121] Where p2 is the frictional resistance, H is the well depth, and V is the frictional resistance. a ρ is the annular return velocity, D is the outer diameter of the annulus, d is the inner diameter of the annulus, f is the drilling fluid friction coefficient, and ρ is the annular return velocity. 原 It is the original drilling fluid density.
[0122] Where p2 is the frictional resistance generated by the flow of drilling fluid due to the discharge of annular fluid, in MPa; H is the well depth, in m; V a ρ is the annular return velocity, in m / s; D is the annular outer diameter, in m; d is the annular inner diameter, in m; f is the drilling fluid friction coefficient, dimensionless; ρ 原 This is the original drilling fluid density, in kg / m³. 3 .
[0123] The drilling baseline data includes the original drilling fluid density, well depth, annular outer diameter, and annular inner diameter; correspondingly, the inertial force caused by the change in casing velocity calculated based on the casing acceleration and the drilling baseline data includes:
[0124] The inertial force is calculated using the following formula:
[0125]
[0126] Where p3 is the inertial force, ρ 原 H is the original drilling fluid density, D is the well depth, d is the annulus outer diameter, d is the annulus inner diameter, and a is the casing running acceleration.
[0127] Where p3 is the inertial force caused by the change in casing velocity, with units of MPa; ρ 原 This is the original drilling fluid density, in kg / m³. 3 H is the well depth in meters (m); D is the outer diameter of the annulus in meters (m); d is the inner diameter of the annulus in meters (m); a is the casing acceleration in meters per second (m / s²). 2 .
[0128] The process of obtaining the low-density drilling fluid density based on the original drilling fluid density includes:
[0129] The decrease in drilling fluid density is determined based on the original drilling fluid density and the preset correspondence.
[0130] The preset correspondence is the relationship between the preset original drilling fluid density and the preset decrease in drilling fluid density. Specifically, the preset correspondence can be a curve representing the relationship between the preset original drilling fluid density and the preset decrease in drilling fluid density. The preset original drilling fluid density and the preset decrease in drilling fluid density show a positive correlation, and the preset decrease in drilling fluid density can range from a preset range of 200 to 400 kg / m³.3 The value is taken from the data range, assuming the original drilling fluid density is preset to 2000 kg / m³. 3 The corresponding preset drilling fluid density reduction value is 300 kg / m³. 3 If the original drilling fluid density is preset to 3300 kg / m³ 3 The corresponding preset drilling fluid density reduction value is 350 kg / m³. 3 In this embodiment of the invention, the original drilling fluid density is 2000 kg / m³. 3 For example, the corresponding value for the decrease in drilling fluid density is determined to be 300 kg / m³. 3 .
[0131] The difference between the original drilling fluid density and the decrease in drilling fluid density is taken as the density of the low-density drilling fluid. Referring to the example above, the density of the low-density drilling fluid is 1700 kg / m³. 3 .
[0132] like Figure 3 As shown, low drilling fluid density is positively correlated with annular height. Therefore, annular pressure can be reduced directly by decreasing drilling fluid density. The reduction in annular pressure is directly proportional to the height of the low-density drilling fluid in the annulus (i.e., annular height) and inversely proportional to the density of the low-density drilling fluid. To ensure that the wellbore fluid column pressure is reduced to the target value, the height of the low-density drilling fluid in the annulus is directly proportional to its density; that is, the higher the density of the low-density drilling fluid, the higher its annular height. It should be noted that wellbore fluid column pressure is a fundamental component of annular pressure, but annular pressure also includes additional pressure under dynamic operating conditions.
[0133] Before the step of obtaining the low-density drilling fluid density based on the original drilling fluid density, the method for determining the casing installation parameters for ultra-deep well controlled pressure and accelerated installation further includes:
[0134] If it is determined that the maximum excitation pressure of the casing is greater than the safe pressure window of the ultra-deep well, then the steps of obtaining the low-density drilling fluid density based on the original drilling fluid density and subsequent steps are executed.
[0135] The safe pressure window can be obtained by subtracting the formation fracture pressure from the formation pore pressure. When the maximum excitation pressure of the casing is greater than the safe pressure window of the ultra-deep well, it means that the excitation pressure generated by the casing at the current rate is greater than the formation fracture pressure, which may lead to well leakage. In this case, the drilling fluid density can be reduced to decrease the bottom hole pressure and thus avoid well leakage.
[0136] The density of the low-density drilling fluid refers to the density of the drilling fluid used during subsequent casing installation, while the density of the original drilling fluid refers to the density of the currently used drilling fluid. The replacement of the original drilling fluid with the low-density drilling fluid is a gradual process. The maximum excitation pressure and the size of the safe pressure window during casing installation can control and prevent well leakage. The outer and inner diameters of the annulus in ultra-deep wells can characterize the amount of drilling fluid used downhole.
[0137] In step S2 above, the device determines the amount of low-density drilling fluid to be used based on the original drilling fluid density, the low-density drilling fluid density, the maximum excitation pressure of the casing, the drilling baseline data, and the safety pressure window of the ultra-deep well. It also determines the amount of weighted drilling fluid to be used based on the weighted drilling fluid density, the original drilling fluid density, the maximum excitation pressure of the casing, and the drilling baseline data.
[0138] Ultra-deep wells refer to oil and gas wells with depths exceeding a certain standard (usually 8,000 meters or more). These wells are unique due to their great depth, complex geological conditions, and high technical difficulty.
[0139] The safe pressure window refers to the permissible range of fluid pressure within the wellbore between pore pressure and fracture pressure. Pore pressure refers to the pressure of fluids within the formation pores. If the drilling fluid pressure is below this value, formation fluids may enter the wellbore, causing a well kick or blowout. Fracture pressure, on the other hand, is the maximum pressure the formation can withstand. If the total downhole operating pressure exceeds this value, it can lead to formation fracturing, drilling fluid loss, and potentially wellbore collapse or stuck pipe.
[0140] The safe pressure window and the maximum activation pressure of the casing can be calculated from data in relevant ultra-deep well documentation, or directly obtained from data already acquired by on-site personnel to improve the efficiency of obtaining these parameters. The specific methods for obtaining these parameters are not limited here.
[0141] The determination of the low-density drilling fluid dosage based on the original drilling fluid density, the low-density drilling fluid density, the maximum excitation pressure of the casing, the drilling baseline data, and the safe pressure window for ultra-deep wells includes:
[0142] The dosage of the low-density drilling fluid is calculated using the following formula:
[0143]
[0144] Among them, V 低 This refers to the dosage of low-density drilling fluid, where D is the outer diameter of the annulus, d is the inner diameter of the annulus, and p... max It is the maximum excitation pressure of the lower casing, p 窗口 It is the aforementioned safety pressure window, ρ 原It is the original drilling fluid density, ρ 低 ρ is the density of low-density drilling fluid, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
[0145] Among them, V 低 This refers to the dosage of low-density drilling fluid, measured in cubic meters (m³). 3 D is the outer diameter of the annulus, in meters (m); d is the inner diameter of the annulus, in meters (m); p max This is the maximum excitation pressure of the lower casing, in MPa; p 窗口 This refers to the size of the safety pressure window, measured in MPa; ρ 原 This is the original drilling fluid density, in kg / m³. 3 ;ρ 低 It is the density of low-density drilling fluid, with units of kg / m³. 3 .
[0146] Weighted drilling fluid is a type of drilling fluid whose density is increased by adding high-density materials (such as barite, hematite, etc.). It is used to balance or control downhole formation pressure and prevent well kicks, blowouts, or wellbore instability.
[0147] In order to control formation pressure, stabilize the wellbore, carry cuttings, cool and lubricate the drill bit, provide buoyancy, adapt to complex formations, and protect the environment, and to ensure the safety and efficiency of drilling operations, weighted drilling fluid is also required in the wellbore.
[0148] The step of determining the amount of weighted drilling fluid to be used based on the density of the weighted drilling fluid, the density of the original drilling fluid, the maximum excitation pressure of the casing, and the basic drilling data includes:
[0149] The amount of weighted drilling fluid used is calculated using the following formula:
[0150]
[0151] Among them, V 加重 It increases the amount of drilling fluid used, D is the outer diameter of the annulus, d is the inner diameter of the annulus, and ρ is the weighting fluid usage. 加重 It increases the density of the drilling fluid, ρ 原 ρ is the original drilling fluid density, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
[0152] Among them, V 加重 This refers to the amount of drilling fluid used, measured in cubic meters (m³). 3 D is the outer diameter of the annulus, in meters (m); d is the inner diameter of the annulus, in meters (m); ρ 加重 It increases the density of the drilling fluid, measured in kg / m³. 3 ;ρ 原 This is the original drilling fluid density, in kg / m³. 3 .
[0153] like Figure 4As shown, as the low-density drilling fluid is injected into the annulus, the weighted drilling fluid is also injected into the bottom of the drill pipe, but the drill pipe and the upper part of the annulus are still filled with the original drilling fluid.
[0154] In step S3 above, the device determines the drilling fluid circulation speed during drilling as the injection speed, and determines the maximum control pressure value and the safe fluctuation range of the injection pump pressure during pump shutdown based on the maximum excitation pressure of the casing and the safe pressure window, respectively.
[0155] The injection rate can be selected as the drilling fluid circulation rate during drilling. It can also be accelerated based on the original drilling fluid circulation rate to improve the efficiency of casing installation.
[0156] The determination of the maximum control pressure value and the safe fluctuation range of the injection pump pressure during pump shutdown based on the maximum activation pressure of the lower bushing and the safe pressure window includes:
[0157] The difference between the maximum activation pressure of the lower bushing and the safe pressure window is taken as the maximum control pressure value during the pump shutdown period.
[0158] The determination of the maximum control pressure value and the safe fluctuation range of the injection pump pressure during pump shutdown based on the maximum activation pressure of the lower bushing and the safe pressure window includes:
[0159] The maximum excitation pressure of the lower sleeve is negativeed, and the negative value of the maximum excitation pressure of the lower sleeve is taken as the left endpoint value of the safety fluctuation range.
[0160] The difference between the maximum excitation pressure of the lower casing and the safety pressure window is taken as the right endpoint value of the safety fluctuation range.
[0161] Injection rate and injection pump pressure refer to the speed and pump pressure used when low-density drilling fluid is injected into the annulus to replace the original drilling fluid.
[0162] When determining the injection rate, the original drilling fluid circulation rate can be used, which allows for seamless connection between the injection of low-density drilling fluid and the circulation of the original drilling fluid, thereby improving the injection efficiency of low-density drilling fluid, which in turn improves the drilling fluid density reduction efficiency, improves the efficiency of determining casing installation parameters, and further improves casing installation efficiency.
[0163] When determining the injection pump pressure, it is necessary to adjust accordingly based on the fluid performance parameters within the wellbore, ensuring that fluctuations remain within safe limits to prevent well leakage or overflow. Fluid performance parameters can include viscosity, density, and rheological properties. Specifically, high-viscosity fluids require higher pump pressures. High-density fluids generate greater hydrostatic pressure. The rheological properties of the fluid affect flow resistance and the required pump pressure. As low-density drilling fluid is injected into the wellbore, the fluid performance parameters of the mixture of the original drilling fluid and the low-density drilling fluid continuously change. Determining the injection pump pressure in real-time or repeatedly based on these changing fluid performance parameters enables precise injection of low-density drilling fluid, improving casing speed while effectively preventing well leakage or overflow.
[0164] The pump shutdown pressure control value (i.e. the maximum pressure control value during pump shutdown) refers to the pressure value that needs to be maintained at the wellhead or bottom of the well after the pump is shut down during drilling, completion or fracturing operations, in order to ensure wellbore stability and prevent formation fluid intrusion or blowout.
[0165] When determining the pump shutdown control pressure value, it can be based on the previously determined maximum activation pressure of the lower bushing and the safety pressure window. The higher the maximum activation pressure of the lower bushing, the higher the pump shutdown control pressure value. The larger the safety pressure window, the lower the pump shutdown control pressure value. The specific calculation method for determining the pump shutdown control pressure value based on this relationship can be adjusted according to actual needs, and is not limited here.
[0166] The density of low-density drilling fluid, the amount of low-density drilling fluid used, the amount of weighted drilling fluid used, the injection rate, the safe fluctuation range of the injection pump pressure, and the maximum controlled pressure value during pump shutdown can be used as parameters for casing installation. For example... Figure 4 As shown, during casing installation, a low-density drilling fluid is first obtained based on a determined low-density drilling fluid density. Then, the low-density drilling fluid is injected into the wellbore at a determined volume, following a predetermined injection rate and pump pressure. Simultaneously, a weighting drilling fluid is injected at a determined volume, also following a determined injection rate and pump pressure. Finally, after the low-density drilling fluid injection is complete, pressure is controlled at the wellhead according to the determined maximum pressure control value during pump shutdown.
[0167] This invention's method, based on the maximum activation pressure during casing runs, determines when lost circulation is likely. It directly reduces the density of the drilling fluid from the original density, achieving a rapid decrease. Furthermore, by combining the low-density drilling fluid density, the original drilling fluid density, the maximum activation pressure during casing runs, the size of the safety pressure window, and the outer and inner diameters of the annulus in ultra-deep wells, it accurately and quickly determines the amount of low-density drilling fluid to be used. Corresponding adjustments are made to casing run parameters such as the weighted drilling fluid usage, injection rate, injection pump pressure, and pump shutdown control value. This allows for an increase in casing run speed from the previously slow speed, even reaching the ideal design speed, while preventing lost circulation. It provides a simple and convenient way to accelerate casing run in ultra-deep wells while ensuring downhole safety.
[0168] The method for determining the casing construction parameters for ultra-deep well pressure-controlled and accelerated installation provided in this embodiment of the invention is further illustrated by the following examples:
[0169] Well A is an ultra-deep well in marine carbonate rock formation. Due to its narrow safety density window, the casing running speed, designed using conventional methods, was too slow to avoid well leakage during casing running, severely impacting the well's drilling progress. According to requirements, the maximum casing running speed needs to be increased to 0.3 m / s and the acceleration to 0.06 m / s² when the casing reaches the bottom of the well. 2 .
[0170] 1. First, find the relevant data for this well: The well depth is 7000m, the outer diameter of the annulus is 0.2413m, the inner diameter of the annulus is 0.2m, the formation pore pressure is 140MPa, the formation fracturing pressure is 145MPa, and the original drilling fluid density is 2000kg / m³. 3 The original drilling fluid consistency coefficient was 0.63 Pa·s n The original drilling fluid flowability index was 0.54, the static shear stress was 1.5 Pa, and the density of the weighted drilling fluid was 2400 kg / m³. 3 Increase drilling fluid pressure p 加重 It must be the same as the maximum excitation pressure of the lower casing.
[0171] 2. Based on the data retrieved, calculate the safety pressure window and the maximum excitation pressure of the lower casing.
[0172] The safe pressure window is:
[0173] p 窗口 =145-140×5MPa.
[0174] The circum-return speed is:
[0175]
[0176] The resistance generated by the drilling fluid mesh structure is:
[0177]
[0178] The frictional resistance generated by the drilling fluid flow due to the discharge of annular fluid is:
[0179]
[0180] The inertial force caused by the change in casing velocity is calculated as follows:
[0181]
[0182] Therefore, the maximum activation pressure of the casing is 8.35 MPa. Since the maximum activation pressure of the casing is greater than the safe pressure window, it is necessary to design the density and quantity of low-density drilling fluid.
[0183] 3. Calculate the parameters of low-density drilling fluid.
[0184] The density of low-density drilling fluid is:
[0185] ρ 低 =2000-300=1700kg / m 3 .
[0186] The dosage of low-density drilling fluid is:
[0187]
[0188] 4. Calculate other parameters related to construction.
[0189] The dosage of weighted drilling fluid is:
[0190]
[0191] Injection rate is the drilling fluid circulation rate during drilling.
[0192] The injection pump pressure is within a safe fluctuation range of -8.35MPa to 3.35MPa.
[0193] The maximum pressure control value during pump shutdown is: p b =8.35-5=3.35MPa.
[0194] In summary, to achieve a casing running speed of 0.3 m / s at the bottom of the well, the following construction parameters were determined: the injection rate was determined based on the drilling fluid circulation speed during drilling, and the density of the low-density drilling fluid was 1700 kg / m³. 3 The low-density drilling fluid usage is 16.30m³. 3 The density of the weighted drilling fluid is 2400 kg / m³. 3 The amount of weighted drilling fluid used was 30.49m³. 3The safe fluctuation range of the injection pump pressure is -8.35MPa to 3.35MPa, and the maximum pressure control value during pump shutdown is 3.35MPa. Therefore, the casing is installed according to the above design and construction plan.
