Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas exploration and development technology, and particularly relates to an anti-collision drilling method based on magnetic exploration while drilling. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, due to stricter environmental protection policies, the number of shale oil and gas wells using well cluster development models has increased year by year. Shale oil development in recent years has adopted multi-layered, large-well-cluster, and three-dimensional development models. For example, one platform deployed 31 horizontal wells with a wellhead spacing of 8 meters and a wellhead row spacing of 31 meters, creating significant pressure to prevent collisions in the diameter and deviated sections. Another oilfield deployed 73 vertical wells and highly deviated wells with wellhead spacing of 4-8 meters, making collision prevention in the deviated sections difficult. In older areas, adjustment and infill drilling are all conducted at the original well sites with limited area, making collision prevention between vertical wells difficult during new drilling. In 2021, a company deployed a pilot project to convert shale oil into small-spacing horizontal well clusters, creating an urgent need for collision prevention.
[0003] In existing technologies, the following research on anti-collision technologies has been conducted: First, the "Key Technologies for Horizontal Well Drilling in Shale Oil in the Cangdong Depression of Dagang Oilfield" addresses the technical challenges of poor PDC bit adaptability, difficulty in wellbore trajectory control, and poor wellbore stability in shale oil horizontal wells in different regions. It promotes aggressive parameter drilling, optimizes drill string combinations, conducts personalized PDC bit design, and selects optimal drilling fluid systems. Second, the "Key Technologies for Optimal and Fast Drilling and Completion in Fuxian Gas Reservoir" research analyzes engineering geological characteristics such as the mineral composition and physicochemical properties of the drilling formation, three-pressure profiles, and formation drillability. It establishes data models to optimize high-efficiency drill bits used in actual drilling, clarifying the types of drill bits used in each well section; it analyzes the application of drilling parameters through software simulation, clarifying aggressive drilling parameter schemes for different well types; and it also optimizes the polyamine drilling fluid system through indoor evaluation and field tests to ensure the stability of the mudstone wellbore. Third, "Application of Radical Drilling Technology in the Development of Tight Oil and Gas Reservoirs in Changqing" combines the selection of screw drills and PDC drill bits suitable for different well types, wellbore types, and formations to improve drilling speed and efficiency. Based on the theoretical understanding of increasing mechanical drilling rate by the maximum bottom hole flow velocity and the sensitivity analysis of drilling pressure / rotation speed to mechanical drilling rate, field tests of large-displacement, high-drilling pressure, and high-rotation radical drilling were conducted. Templates for radical drilling parameters for different well types and well sections were established, achieving large-scale speed improvement in the same area. Fourth, "Integration of High-Efficiency Development Technologies for Block 38 in Jiangsu Oilfield" integrates high-efficiency development technologies suitable for Jiangsu Oilfield, based on a series of technologies including well factory model and overall optimization design technology, wellbore structure optimization technology, selection of personalized PDC drill bits + long-life equal-wall-thickness screw drills + high-pressure injection technology, friction reduction and drag reduction for complex wellbore trajectories, and environmentally friendly starch-based drilling fluid systems. Fifth, the "Drilling Technology for Second-Stage Horizontal Wells in the Sulige Risk Cooperation Block" project has carried out research on optimizing the "factory-style" horizontal well drilling mode, the "high-efficiency PDC drill bit + high-power screw" aggressive parameter drilling technology, optimizing the well trajectory control mode with different offset distances, and optimizing the segmented drilling fluid of the strong-inhibition low-density CQSP-4 anti-collapse drilling fluid, which has formed the optimal and fast drilling technology for horizontal wells in the tight gas reservoirs of the Sulige gas field.
[0004] The aforementioned data addresses the issues of downhole collision prevention applications and safe and rapid drilling, primarily focusing on collision prevention research from aspects such as on-site measures, drill string improvements, well trajectory optimization, and real-time 3D visualization of wellbore trajectories. However, this research suffers from problems such as high costs, complex execution, and impact on drilling efficiency. Furthermore, for drilling data from the 1990s and earlier, due to their age and preservation methods, the data accuracy is poor or even missing, resulting in unprecedented pressure on collision prevention work during secondary operations. Therefore, the aforementioned existing technologies are not applicable. Summary of the Invention

[0050] The process of obtaining the magnetic field distribution of the bushing magnetic stabilizer includes the following steps: S41, the magnetic field monitoring tool while drilling detects the magnetic field lines of the corresponding casing magnetic stabilizer and uploads the detection data to the ground computer.

[0055] Example 5 This embodiment discloses a collision-avoidance drilling method based on magnetic side-finding during drilling. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it includes the following steps: S1. Observe the construction area where the well to be drilled is located, and preliminarily determine all the completed wells in the construction area that are affected by the construction of the well to be drilled, forming a well group of adjacent wells to the well to be drilled.
[0056] S2, based on the preservation status of logging data of completed wells in the adjacent well group, insert casing strong magnetic centralizers into all or part of the adjacent wells in the adjacent well group.
[0057] S3. After installing the magnetic detection monitoring tool while drilling on the drill bit, drilling operations are carried out on the well to be drilled.
[0058] S4, during the drilling process of the well to be drilled, the magnetic field distribution of the casing magnetic centralizer is obtained based on the magnetic detection monitoring tool while drilling.
[0059] S5, based on the magnetic field distribution of the casing magnetic stabilizer, obtain the distance between the current drilling section and the adjacent well in the well to be drilled.
[0060] S6, determine and implement anti-collision measures for directional drilling based on the distance between the current drilling section and the adjacent well.
[0061] Among them, the penetrating power of magnetic field lines varies in different formations due to different formation properties, which makes the distance at which the magnetic field lines can be detected by the drilling magnetic exploration monitoring tool vary. Based on this, the technical solution implements three levels of anti-collision measures for directional drilling, making the distance between the current drilling section and the adjacent well N. If 20m < N, then no collision prevention measures are required.
[0062] If 15m < N ≤ 20, a three-stage slow-change drilling anti-collision measure is adopted, namely: by starting the downhole rotary guide tool at the wellhead, the drilling trajectory of the well to be drilled changes direction around the obstacle at an angle of 3° every 30 meters.
[0063] If 10m < N ≤ 15m, then a two-stage accelerated directional drilling anti-collision measure is adopted, that is: by starting the downhole rotary guide tool at the wellhead, the drilling trajectory of the well to be drilled is changed around the obstacle at an angle of 5° every 30 meters.
[0064] If N≤10m, then the first-level emergency deflection drilling anti-collision measures are adopted, that is: by starting the downhole rotary guide tool at the wellhead, the drilling trajectory of the well to be drilled is deflected around the obstacle at an angle of 6° every 30 meters.
[0065] This ensures that after implementing anti-collision measures for directional drilling, the distance between the drilling section and the casing of the adjacent well is greater than 6m (set according to the specific formation properties), meeting the requirements of volumetric fracturing.
[0066] Example 6 This embodiment addresses a secondary operation in a mining area that has been out of production for a long time. Having identified the area to be drilled, it employs a collision-avoidance drilling method based on magnetic side-finding during drilling, as described in this technical solution, to perform new well (well to be drilled) drilling operations in the area. The method includes the following steps: S1. Observe the construction area where the well to be drilled is located, and preliminarily determine all 8 completed wells in the construction area that are affected by the construction of the well to be drilled, forming a well group of adjacent wells to be drilled.
[0067] S2, based on the logging data of the 8 completed wells in the adjacent well group, insert casing strong magnetic centralizers into all or some of the adjacent wells in the adjacent well group.
[0068] Specifically, for drilled and completed wells where logging data has not been retained, it is determined that a casing magnetic centralizer needs to be installed; for drilled and completed wells where relevant logging data has been retained, the installation of the casing magnetic centralizer includes the following steps: S21. Based on the corresponding logging data, obtain the wellbore trajectory of the corresponding completed wells in the adjacent well group to establish a spatial wellbore trajectory map of the adjacent well group.
[0069] S22, based on the spatial wellbore trajectory map of the adjacent well group, obtain the spatial location of each completed well in the adjacent well group, as well as the minimum distance S between them and the well to be drilled.
[0070] S23. For each completed well in the adjacent well group, determine whether the minimum spacing S is greater than the set safety value; if not, run a casing magnetic stabilizer into the corresponding completed well; if so, remove the corresponding completed well from the adjacent well group. This can simplify additional operations beyond new well drilling to some extent.

[0079] S63, determine the direction of the change of direction drilling based on the wellbore trajectory of the adjacent well to be avoided.
[0080] Furthermore, the anti-collision measures for directional drilling are divided into three levels, with the distance between the current drilling section and the adjacent well being N; If 20m < N, then no collision prevention measures are required.
[0081] If 15m < N ≤ 20, a three-stage slow-change drilling anti-collision measure is adopted, namely: by starting the downhole rotary guide tool at the wellhead, the drilling trajectory of the well to be drilled changes direction around the obstacle at an angle of 3° every 30 meters.
[0082] If 10m < N ≤ 15m, then a two-stage accelerated directional drilling anti-collision measure is adopted, that is: by starting the downhole rotary guide tool at the wellhead, the drilling trajectory of the well to be drilled is changed around the obstacle at an angle of 5° every 30 meters.
