Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil drilling technology, and is a dynamic feedback adaptive fluctuation pressure control method and device for pressure controlled drilling. Background Technology

[0002] Oil and gas resources in complex and difficult-to-drill formations such as deep earth, deep sea, and unconventional formations are important replacement areas for my country's energy consumption. A significant challenge associated with deep, high-temperature, and high-pressure drilling is the frequent leakage within a narrow safety pressure window. Precision pressure-controlled drilling technology, as an effective means to address narrow safety pressure windows, is increasingly in demand. Existing pressure-controlled drilling systems are not well-suited for safe drilling in deep, small-bore formations, exhibiting large errors in wellbore pressure simulation, significant wellbore pressure fluctuations, and low capacity to handle complex leakage issues. Therefore, research on key technologies for multiphase pressure control in ultra-deep wells is urgently needed to solve the challenges of safe and efficient drilling and well control in ultra-deep formations.

[0003] The research models for unsteady flow analysis technology in small-diameter ultra-deep wells are incomplete. The gas-liquid two-phase flow models used do not consider the possible slug flow, transition flow and other fluid models that may exist at small displacements below 10 L / s. They are insufficient to accurately describe the multiphase flow characteristics in the annulus after gas intrusion in small-diameter deep wells. As a result, the existing hydraulic software has large calculation errors under small displacement conditions.

[0004] Although some monitoring technologies, such as flow sensing and pressure detection, have been used in pressure-controlled drilling processes, these technologies suffer from problems such as complex modeling and difficult data processing, and lack dynamic feedback mechanisms, making it difficult to cope with complex and ever-changing geological conditions.
