Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas exploration technology, and in particular to a device and method for determining the depth of drilling and completion fluid intrusion into the core based on resistance testing. Background Technology
[0002] During oil and gas drilling and completion, drilling and completion fluids inevitably infiltrate the reservoir, causing pore blockage, decreased permeability, and impacting reservoir productivity. Therefore, accurately assessing the depth of drilling and completion fluid intrusion into the core is crucial for calculating reservoir damage and developing reservoir protection and unblocking measures.
[0003] Currently, commonly used methods for evaluating the depth of drilling and completion fluid invasion mainly include: 1. Staining method, which involves adding dye to the drilling and completion fluid and observing the color distribution after invasion by cutting sections, but this method requires core destruction and is highly subjective; 2. Nuclear magnetic resonance method, which can non-destructively detect fluid distribution, but the equipment is expensive and the operation is complex, making it difficult to popularize; 3. Resistivity method, a traditional method that only measures the overall or local resistance of the core, and cannot accurately locate the invasion boundary; 4. CT scan method, which can provide three-dimensional imaging, but it is costly, has limited resolution, and has a weak ability to distinguish between drilling and completion fluid and water.
[0004] CN118008281A discloses a method for determining reservoir fracture width when drilling fluid density is increased. The method includes determining the density change of the drilling fluid after adding weighting materials; calculating the change in formation pressure of the target well based on the drilling fluid density change; obtaining fractured rock samples through artificial fracturing using downhole rock samples, and conducting stress-sensitive experiments to obtain dynamic parameters of fractures under different pressure gradients, thus obtaining a stress sensitivity coefficient; calculating the fracture width change under drilling fluid density changes; and calculating the fracture width value under drilling fluid density changes. Starting from the change in drilling and completion fluid density, the method establishes the relationship between formation pressure and drilling and completion fluid density using the DC index method. Combined with stress-sensitive experiments, it evaluates the impact of formation pressure changes on reservoir fracture width by analyzing the changes in fracture width before and after stress damage to natural fractures, providing theoretical support for the addition of plugging agents in drilling and completion fluids and their application in reservoirs. This method is not suitable for determining the depth of drilling and completion fluid penetration into the core.
[0005] CN120214259A discloses a testing device for measuring the depth of wellbore fluid invasion into a reservoir. The device includes a dual-core holder, a formation pressure simulation mechanism, a formation temperature simulation mechanism, a fluid circulation mechanism, and a flow measurement mechanism connected to the dual-core holder via pipelines, and a data processing mechanism for receiving and processing data from the dual-core holder. This method can simulate working conditions and reservoir environments under different operational conditions during oil and gas exploration and development, and utilize microwave continuous measurement to determine the depth of wellbore fluid invasion into the reservoir. It provides a basis for optimizing wellbore fluid performance and system selection, as well as for the selection and design of engineering processes such as drilling parameters, completion methods, reservoir stimulation technologies, and reservoir protection technologies. However, this method still suffers from the problem of inaccurate measurement results of the depth of wellbore fluid invasion into the reservoir.
[0006] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a simple and accurate device and method for measuring the depth of drilling and completion fluid invasion into the core based on resistance testing. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a device and method for determining the depth of drilling and completion fluid invasion into the core based on resistance testing. The device uses a resistance measuring instrument to measure the resistance of the core point by point before and after the drilling and completion fluid invasion, and uses the resistance-core position relationship curve to determine the depth of the drilling and completion fluid invasion into the core, thereby achieving accurate and non-destructive quantitative determination of the invasion depth.

[0011] The drilling and completion fluid intrusion simulation module is connected to the temperature and pressure control module and the resistance measurement module, respectively.
[0012] The drilling and completion fluid invasion depth determination device based on resistance testing described in this invention utilizes a wellbore drilling and completion fluid flow simulation module to simulate the actual flow process of drilling and completion fluid in the wellbore and provide a stable pressure of drilling and completion fluid to the core holder; it uses a drilling and completion fluid invasion simulation module to simulate the process of drilling and completion fluid invading the core; a temperature and pressure control module provides a high-temperature and high-pressure environment consistent with formation conditions for the drilling and completion fluid invasion simulation module; a resistance measurement module acquires resistance data at various scale points before and after drilling and completion fluid invasion, generates a resistance-core position relationship curve, and finally determines the depth of drilling and completion fluid invasion into the core; and a recovery module recovers waste fluid from the drilling and completion fluid invasion core experiment.

The displacement pump is used to drive the flow of drilling and completion fluid; the high-strength circular tube is used to simulate the wellbore and is pressure-resistant to 80 MPa; the backpressure valve works with the displacement pump to adjust the pressure inside the high-strength circular tube, so that the pressure inside the high-strength circular tube is the same as and remains stable as the fluid column pressure during the actual drilling and completion process.
[0014] Preferably, a one-way valve is provided on the connecting pipeline between the displacement pump and the intermediate container to prevent liquid backflow.
[0015] Preferably, the back pressure valve is connected to the first recovery device.
[0016] Preferably, the drilling and completion fluid invasion simulation module includes a core holder, a core, a shut-off valve, a second back pressure valve, and a second pressure gauge.
[0017] Preferably, the shut-off valve, the second pressure gauge, the rock core, and the second back pressure valve are connected in sequence.
[0018] The shut-off valve of the present invention remains closed before the system pressure stabilizes. It is manually opened after the pressure inside the high-strength circular pipe is confirmed by the first pressure gauge to reach the set value, so as to start the process of drilling and completion fluid intrusion into the core. The second back pressure valve is used to regulate and maintain the displacement pressure inside the core holder. The second pressure gauge is used to assist in monitoring the pressure status before entering the core holder.
[0019] Preferably, the core is fixed by a core holder.
[0020] Preferably, the core is marked with equally spaced scale points.

[0028] Preferably, the recycling module includes a second recycling device.
[0029] Preferably, the second recovery device is connected to the second back pressure valve.
[0030] Secondly, the present invention also provides a method for determining the depth of drilling and completion fluid invasion into the core based on resistance testing, wherein the method for determining the depth of drilling and completion fluid invasion into the core is performed using the drilling and completion fluid invasion into the core depth measuring device based on resistance testing described in the first aspect; the method for determining the depth of drilling and completion fluid invasion into the core includes the following steps:
[0031] (a) After the core sample is cleaned, dried and displaced in sequence, multiple scale points are marked along the axial direction to obtain the core;
[0032] (b) Use a resistance measuring instrument to measure multiple scale points of the core point by point and record the initial resistance value of each scale point to generate a curve showing the relationship between the resistance of the core before drilling and completion fluid enters the core and the core position.
[0033] (c) Place the core into the core holder and place it in the constant temperature chamber. Start the confining pressure pump to set the confining pressure. Start the displacement pump while keeping the shut-off valve closed, so that the drilling fluid enters the intermediate container and the high-strength round pipe in sequence. Maintain the pipeline pressure by adjusting the first back pressure valve and monitor the pressure inside the high-strength round pipe by the first pressure gauge until the pressure stabilizes and reaches the set value.
[0034] (d) Open the shut-off valve to allow drilling and completion fluid to enter the core holder and begin the intrusion process; stop the displacement after the preset time is reached;
[0035] (e) Remove the core and use a resistance meter to measure the resistance value at each scale point again to generate a curve showing the relationship between the resistance and the core position after the drilling fluid has invaded the core. The scale value corresponding to the intersection of the curve showing the relationship between the resistance and the core position before the drilling fluid has invaded the core described in step (b) is the depth of the drilling fluid intrusion into the core.
[0036] The method for determining the depth of drilling and completion fluid invasion into the core based on resistance testing, as described in this invention, is simple to operate and requires no expensive specialized equipment. It involves testing the resistance values at multiple scale points on the core before and after fluid invasion, and plotting the relationship between the resistance and the core position. The intersection of these two curves is used as the basis for determining the invasion depth. This method overcomes the limitations of traditional single-point resistance testing, achieving quasi-distributed measurement of core resistance and accurate measurement of the depth of drilling and completion fluid invasion, avoiding misjudgments caused by core heterogeneity. Furthermore, using a resistance measuring instrument eliminates the need to cut or damage the core, allowing for multiple repeated experiments using the same core, thus saving samples. With the use of a constant temperature chamber and confining pressure pump, actual drilling and completion conditions can be simulated, resulting in highly reliable experimental results. This method is suitable for evaluating drilling and completion fluid contamination and protecting deep oil and gas reservoirs.
[0037] The present invention does not impose detailed limitations on the cleaning, drying and displacement treatment methods described in step (a), and conventional methods in the art can be used.
[0038] The present invention does not impose specific limitations on the set value of the pressure inside the high-strength circular tube in step (c) and the preset time in step (d). The values can be determined based on the actual situation of the core sample and the simulation of the intrusion of drilling and completion fluid.
[0039] In step (e) of this invention, the intersection of the two curves refers to the point in the direction from the core inlet to the outlet. When the resistance value of a certain scale point after intrusion is equal to the resistance value before intrusion for the first time, the corresponding scale value is the depth of intrusion into the core.
[0040] Preferably, the displacement treatment in step (a) results in a water saturation of 50% to 60% in the core, for example, 50%, 52%, 54%, 56%, 58%, or 60%, but is not limited to the listed values; other unlisted values within this range are also applicable.
[0041] Preferably, the number of scale points is not less than 10, for example, it can be 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 or 18, etc., but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values within this range are also applicable to ensure that the curve trend is clear and the intersection point is accurately identified.
[0042] Preferably, the resistance measuring instrument in step (b) uses a four-electrode method or a two-electrode method to measure the resistance of the rock core, with a measurement accuracy of not less than ±1%, and the measurement process does not damage the rock core structure.
[0043] Preferably, the temperature of the constant temperature chamber in step (c) is 60~200℃, for example, it can be 60℃, 90℃, 120℃, 150℃, 180℃ or 200℃, but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values within this range are also applicable.
[0044] Preferably, the pressure generated by the confining pressure pump is 10~80MPa, for example, it can be 10MPa, 25MPa, 40MPa, 55MPa, 70MPa or 80MPa, but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values within this range are also applicable.
[0045] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method for determining the depth of drilling and completion fluid intrusion into the core includes the following steps:
[0046] (a) After the core sample is washed, dried and displaced in sequence, multiple scale points are marked along the axial direction to obtain the core; the displacement treatment makes the water saturation of the core 50%~60%; the number of scale points is not less than 10.
[0047] (b) Use a resistance measuring instrument to measure the resistance of the core at multiple scale points and record the initial resistance value of each scale point to generate a curve showing the relationship between the resistance before drilling and completion fluid enters the core and the core position; the resistance measuring instrument uses the four-electrode method or the two-electrode method to measure the resistance of the core.
[0048] (c) Place the core into the core holder and put it in a constant temperature chamber with a temperature of 60~200℃. Start the confining pressure pump and set the confining pressure to 10~80MPa. Start the displacement pump while keeping the shut-off valve closed, so that the drilling fluid enters the intermediate container and the high-strength round pipe in sequence. Maintain the pipeline pressure by adjusting the first back pressure valve and monitor the pressure inside the high-strength round pipe by the first pressure gauge until the pressure stabilizes and reaches the set value.
[0049] (d) Open the shut-off valve to allow drilling and completion fluid to enter the core holder and begin the intrusion process; stop the displacement after the preset time is reached;
[0050] (e) Remove the core and use a resistance meter to measure the resistance value at each scale point again to generate a curve showing the relationship between the resistance and the core position after the drilling fluid has invaded the core. The scale value corresponding to the intersection of the curve showing the relationship between the resistance and the core position before the drilling fluid has invaded the core described in step (b) is the depth of the drilling fluid intrusion into the core.
[0051] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0052] (1) The drilling and completion fluid invasion depth measurement device based on resistance testing provided by the present invention does not require expensive special equipment. It uses a resistance measuring instrument for non-destructive measurement. The whole process does not require cutting or destroying the core. Multiple sets of repeated experiments can be carried out using the same core (such as different drilling and completion fluid systems and different pressure conditions), saving samples.
[0053] (2) The drilling and completion fluid penetration depth measurement device based on resistance testing provided by the present invention includes a wellbore drilling and completion fluid flow simulation module, a constant temperature chamber and a confining pressure pump, which can simulate the flow process and working conditions of drilling and completion fluid in the actual drilling and completion process in a real formation environment, thereby improving the reliability of experimental results.
[0054] (3) The method for determining the depth of drilling and completion fluid intrusion into the core based on resistance testing provided by the present invention is simple to operate. It uses the intersection of the resistance curve before and after drilling and completion fluid intrusion into the core and the core position curve to accurately and intuitively present the depth of intrusion, avoiding misjudgment caused by the heterogeneity of the core.
