Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of well control technology for oil and gas development, and in particular to a method for calculating the volume of drilling fluid used for well filling based on controlling the upward flow rate of oil and gas to zero. Background Technology
[0002] As oil and gas development expands into deeper areas and the deep sea, the geological conditions encountered during drilling and completion are becoming increasingly complex. Drilling fluid injection is a crucial method for achieving pressure balance between the wellbore and formation by intermittently and continuously injecting drilling fluid into the wellbore, thereby slowing down oil and gas upwelling and reducing risks such as blowouts and spills. Drilling fluid injection technology has demonstrated significant application value in tripping, completion, and plugging operations. However, the implementation of drilling fluid injection often relies on the experience of field engineers, leading to insufficient or excessive injection. Existing technicians have established a functional relationship between annular fluid level height and leakage rate using fluid level monitoring and proposed a safe time calculation model for drilling fluid injection. However, this method does not consider the impact of oil and gas upwelling rate, which can easily cause oil and gas to migrate to the wellhead, thus increasing well control risks.
[0003] In addition, Chinese patent application number CN202311496107.5, entitled "Calculation Method of Mud Supplementation Volume Based on Annular Fluid Level Monitoring," includes the following steps: establishing a model of the relationship between the leakage rate and fluid level during drilling fluid loss, predicting the location of the leakage equilibrium point, and calculating the leakage pressure difference at each measuring point; establishing a model of the relationship between the leakage pressure difference and the leakage rate, and establishing a leakage dynamic function; calculating the fluid level height required to compensate for the drill string shortage; calculating the fluid level height required to balance the formation high pressure and determining the safe fluid level height; and calculating the time from the current fluid level to the safe fluid level to obtain the mud suspension volume. This invention also utilizes fluid level monitoring technology, observing the fluid level drop rate to fit a model of the relationship between the leakage rate and fluid level during drilling fluid loss, determining whether drilling fluid suspension is needed and the suspension volume. However, it still has the following shortcomings: the aforementioned invention application does not consider the oil and gas surge rate during the suspension and tripping process. If this factor is not considered during tripping, it can easily lead to oil and gas surging to the wellhead, causing risks such as blowouts. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned deficiencies in existing technologies by providing a method for calculating drilling fluid loading volume based on controlling the oil and gas upward velocity to zero. This method utilizes field measurements of the oil and gas upward velocity, combined with wellbore structure and drill string assembly, to calculate the influence of tripping speed on the oil and gas upward velocity. A calculation model for the oil and gas upward velocity during tripping is established, determining the critical leakage rate to ensure the oil and gas upward velocity is not greater than zero. This allows for precise calculation of the drilling fluid loading volume during drill string tripping, thereby ensuring operational safety.
[0005] The present invention discloses a method for calculating drilling fluid injection volume based on controlling the upward velocity of oil and gas to zero. The technical solution includes the following steps:
[0006] 1. After discovering well leakage and return, fully circulate the drilling fluid and monitor the rate of oil and gas surge.

[0014] 5. After a period of time, monitor the liquid level and determine whether the irrigation volume is reasonable based on the changes in the liquid level.

[0016] (2) When the fluid level is higher than the previous fluid level, reduce the amount of drilling fluid poured in; when the fluid level is lower than the previous fluid level, increase the amount of drilling fluid poured in.

For every three drill strings or one drill collar drilled, liquid level monitoring technology should be used to monitor the liquid level height at this time and compare it with the liquid level. The subsequent operation procedure should be determined based on the change in liquid level height.
[0029] (1) When the fluid level is equal to the previous fluid level, it means that the drilling fluid grouting volume meets the grouting requirements during the tripping period. At this time, continue grouting according to this volume.
[0030] (2) When the liquid level is higher than the previous liquid level, it is necessary to determine whether the higher liquid level is caused by excessive drilling fluid injection or by insufficient grouting volume leading to increased overflow. The judgment method is to observe statically. If the liquid level drops, it indicates that the drilling fluid injection volume is excessive.
[0031] (3) When the fluid level is lower than the previous fluid level, it indicates that the drilling fluid injection volume is insufficient and it is necessary to increase the drilling fluid injection volume.

When the leakage rate is greater than 10m... 3When the drilling speed is reduced to 0.1 m / s, the leakage rate is recalculated. Even when the speed is reduced to 0.1 m / s, the leakage rate is still greater than 10 m / s. 3 / h, start drilling at a speed of 0.1m / s:

The safe leakage rate of drilling fluid under different tripping speed conditions is calculated. Under this leakage rate condition, the air bubbles are suspended or turned in the wellbore, thereby calculating the volume of drilling fluid poured during tripping. The downhole is kept in a micro-leakage state during the tripping operation, and the drilling is safely and quickly tripped to the target area. Attached Figure Description

Even when the speed is reduced to 0.1 m / s, the leakage rate is still greater than 10 m / s. 3 / h, start drilling at a speed of 0.1m / s: ; (3) The ratio K between the drilling fluid injection volume and the drill string tripping volume B The calculation method is as follows: , in: L The height of the drill string to be pulled out is in meters (m). V 钻柱 This represents the drill string volume; K B This represents the ratio between the volume of drilling fluid injected and the volume of the drill string pulled out.
