Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of cement sheath interface unsealing length detection technology, and particularly relates to a method, program product and equipment for predicting cement sheath interface unsealing length. Background Technology
[0002] Cement sheaths are the core barrier ensuring the sealing of the target well. The cement sheath interface, as the weakest unit in the cemented annulus sealing barrier, directly affects the safe and long-term operation of oil and gas wells during fracturing and other operations. However, during fracturing, the fluid load of the fracturing fluid acts on the cement sheath interface, potentially causing interface cracks that continuously propagate along the wellbore axis. If these interface cracks connect to adjacent fracturing sections or the cemented annulus, it significantly reduces the effectiveness of fracturing operations and impacts wellbore safety. Therefore, accurately predicting the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface (i.e., the length of the cracks at the cement sheath interface) is crucial for adjusting operational parameters promptly based on the unsealing status, preventing further deterioration. Thus, improving the accuracy of predicting the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface is a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

By measuring the propagation rate in each unit well section separately, the accuracy of the obtained interfacial fracture propagation rate can be improved, thereby improving the accuracy of predicting the cement sheath interface unsealing length. The interfacial fracture propagation rate within each unit well section and the mechanical parameters are used to determine the interfacial fracture initiation toughness. The parameters determine the interface fracture toughness of each unit well section. Then, using the microseismic data, the interface fracture initiation toughness, and the interface fracture toughness of each unit well section, the cement sheath interface unsealing length within each unit well section is determined. This further improves the accuracy of the data processing. Finally, the cement sheath interface unsealing lengths within each unit well section are summed to obtain the cement sheath interface unsealing length of the fractured section to be tested. In this way, the interference of different propagation rates of interface fractures within each unit well section on the prediction results of the cement sheath interface unsealing length can be avoided, ultimately improving the accuracy of the prediction results.

[0047] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this application, the following will be combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 This paper provides a brief explanation of the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface proposed in this application.
[0048] See Figure 1 The diagram shows a target well in one embodiment of this application.
[0049] See Figure 2 The diagram shows a schematic of the fracturing section in a target well according to one embodiment of this application.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the target well is located in formation 102 and contains casing 101 and cementing sheath 103. The cementing sheath interface can be the interface between the inner side of formation 102 and the outer side of cementing sheath 103, or it can be the interface between the inner side of cementing sheath 103 and the outer side of casing 101. Furthermore, the fracturing section 105 is a well section centered on perforation cluster 104, details of which are as follows... Figure 2 As shown, each fracturing section 105 may include multiple unit well sections 106.
[0051] The cement sheath is the core barrier ensuring the sealing of the target well. The cement sheath interface, as the weakest unit in the cemented annulus sealing barrier, is crucial for the safe and long-term operation of oil and gas wells. Effective bonding of the cement sheath interface during fracturing and other operations ensures its sealing. However, during fracturing, the fracturing fluid load on the cement sheath interface can cause interface cracks that continuously extend along the wellbore axis. If these cracks connect to adjacent fracturing sections or the cemented annulus, the fracturing effect will be significantly reduced, impacting wellbore safety. Therefore, accurately predicting the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface (i.e., the length of the cracks at the interface) is essential to adjust operational parameters promptly based on the unsealing status and prevent further deterioration. Based on this, the inventors of this application propose a method for predicting the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface to improve its accuracy.
[0052] Next, we will combine Figure 3 This paper elaborates on the method for predicting the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface proposed in this application.
[0053] See Figure 3 The figure shows a flowchart of a method for predicting the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface in a cementing application according to one embodiment of the present application. As shown, the method may include at least steps 310 to 350:
[0054] Step 310: Obtain the fracturing fluid performance parameters of the target well and the mechanical parameters of the fracturing section to be tested in the target well, and determine the interface fracturing toughness based on the mechanical parameters and the fracturing fluid performance parameters.
[0055] Step 320: Obtain the interface fracture propagation time in each unit well segment of the fracturing section to be tested, and determine the interface fracture propagation rate in each unit well segment based on the interface fracture propagation time in each unit well segment and the length of the unit well segment.
[0056] Step 330: Determine the interface fracture toughness of each unit well section based on the mechanical parameters and the interface crack propagation rate within each unit well section.
[0057] Step 340: Obtain microseismic data of the fractured section under test when interface cracks occur, and based on the microseismic data, the interface crack initiation toughness and the interface fracture toughness of each unit well section, determine the cement sheath interface unsealing length in each unit well section.
[0058] Step 350: Sum the unsealed lengths of the cement sheath interface in each unit well section to obtain the unsealed length of the cement sheath interface in the fracturing section to be tested.
[0059] In this application, the unit well section length can be 5m or 10m, or other lengths depending on actual needs. This application does not make any specific limitation on this.
[0060] In this application, the mechanical parameters may include at least the shear modulus, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio of the casing on both sides of the cement sheath interface, the shear modulus, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio of the cement sheath and the formation, the cement sheath interface bonding strength, the cement sheath interface contact pressure, the effective elastic modulus, and the effective shear modulus; the fracturing fluid performance parameters may include at least the fracturing flow rate, the fracturing fluid viscosity, and the fracturing fluid fluid load; the microseismic data may include at least the shear wave velocity and the P-wave velocity of the microseismic data.
[0061] In this application, the interfacial fracture initiation toughness is first determined by the fracturing fluid performance parameters of the target well and the mechanical parameters of the fracturing section to be tested. Then, the interfacial fracture propagation rate within each unit well section is determined based on the interfacial fracture propagation time and the unit well section length. This avoids the impact of different propagation rates of interfacial fractures in different unit well sections on subsequent data processing. By measuring the propagation rate in each unit well section separately, the accuracy of the obtained interfacial fracture propagation rate can be improved, thereby improving the accuracy of predicting the cement sheath interface unsealing length. The interfacial fracture propagation rate within each unit well section and the mechanical parameters are used to determine the interfacial fracture initiation toughness. The parameters determine the interface fracture toughness of each unit well section. Then, using the microseismic data, the interface fracture initiation toughness, and the interface fracture toughness of each unit well section, the cement sheath interface unsealing length within each unit well section is determined. This further improves the accuracy of the data processing. Finally, the cement sheath interface unsealing lengths within each unit well section are summed to obtain the cement sheath interface unsealing length of the fractured section to be tested. In this way, the interference of different propagation rates of interface fractures within each unit well section on the prediction results of the cement sheath interface unsealing length can be avoided, ultimately improving the accuracy of the prediction results.
[0062] In step 310 above, the interfacial crack initiation toughness can be determined using the following formulas (1) to (3):
[0063]
[0064]
[0065]
[0066] Where K1 represents the interfacial crack initiation toughness, p represents the fracturing fluid load, and σ rε represents the stress perpendicular to the cement sheath interface, r represents the initial length of the interface crack, i represents the imaginary unit, ε is a dual material constant, and μ1 and μ2 represent the shear moduli of the casing and cement sheath on both sides of the cement sheath interface, or the shear moduli of the cement sheath and formation on both sides of the cement sheath interface.
[0067] In this application, σ r The stress perpendicular to the cement sheath interface is numerically equal to the sum of the cement sheath interface bonding strength and the interface contact pressure. r represents the initial length of the interface crack, which can be determined based on the historical cement sheath interface unsealing length.
[0068] In one specific embodiment, the fracturing displacement of the fracturing section to be tested can be 12m³. 3 The target well has a fracturing fluid pressure of 70 MPa / min, a casing pressure of 45 MPa, and parameters including a wellbore pressure of 46 MPa during solidification, a maximum fracturing pressure of 85 MPa, and a fracturing fluid density of 1.04 g / cm³. 3 The viscosity can be 50 mPa·s. Based on formulas (1) to (3), the crack initiation toughness of the cement sheath interface to be tested can be obtained as 1.2 MPa·m. 0.5 .
[0069] In step 320 above, obtaining the interface fracture propagation time within each unit well section of the fracturing segment to be tested can be specifically performed according to steps 321 to 322 as follows:
[0070] Step 321: Determine the initial time when the interface crack extends to the starting point of each unit well segment and the ending time when the interface crack extends to the ending point of each unit well segment.
[0071] Step 322: Calculate the time difference between the end time and the initial time, as the interface fracture propagation time within each unit well section.
[0072] In this application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 ,as well as Figure 7 Each of these illustrations shows a schematic diagram of the microseismic acoustic signal of the fractured segment under test in one embodiment of this application. Figure 4 At 13:07:22, no interface cracks were observed in well section 2945. Figure 5 In the 2945m well section, 13:17:46 marks the initial time of the interface fracture propagation to the starting point of the 2945m well section. Figure 6In the process, the interface fracture extended to the starting point of well section 2940 at 13:35:37, which is also the ending point of well section 2945. This time is the end time of the fracture extension to the end point of well section 2945. The time difference between 13:35:37 and 13:17:46 is the interface fracture extension time in well section 2945. Finally, in Figure 7 If the interface fracture extends to well section 2935 at 14:00:28, then the time difference between 14:00:28 and 13:35:37 is the interface fracture extension time of well section 2940.
[0073] In this application, please refer to Figure 8 The diagram shows the interface crack propagation rate of a portion of a unit well section in one embodiment of this application. It can be seen from the diagram that the interface crack propagation rate is different in different unit well sections. Therefore, calculating the interface crack propagation rate in each unit well section can improve the accuracy of the interface crack propagation rate calculation, and thus improve the accuracy of the prediction result of the cement sheath interface unsealing length.
[0074] In step 330 above, the interfacial fracture toughness of each unit well section can be determined by the following formulas (4) to (7):
[0075]
[0076] δ2=v t t (5)
[0077]
[0078]
[0079] Where K2 represents the interfacial fracture toughness, δ2 is the unit propagation length of the interfacial crack along the wellbore axis, δ1 is the normal propagation dimension of the interfacial crack, i represents the imaginary unit, ε is the dual material constant, and E * For the effective elastic modulus, v t q represents the interfacial fracture propagation rate within each unit well section, t represents the interfacial fracture propagation time within each unit well section, and q represents the interfacial fracture propagation time. f Where μ is the fracturing fluid displacement, and μ is the fracturing fluid viscosity. Let be the differential of the initial length of the interface crack. E1 and E2 represent the elastic moduli of the casing and cement sheath on both sides of the cement sheath interface, respectively, or the elastic moduli of the cement sheath and formation on both sides of the cement sheath interface, respectively. v1 and v2 represent the Poisson's ratios of the casing and cement sheath on both sides of the cement sheath interface, respectively, or the Poisson's ratios of the cement sheath and formation on both sides of the cement sheath interface, respectively.
[0080] For details, please refer to this application. Figure 9 The diagram illustrates the relationship between interfacial fracture toughness and interfacial crack propagation rate in one embodiment of this application. It shows that different interfacial crack propagation rates allow for the calculation of the corresponding interfacial fracture toughness per unit well section. For example, when the interfacial crack propagation rate is 0.5 m / min, the corresponding unit well section is 2950 well sections, and the corresponding interfacial fracture toughness is 0.34 MPa·m. 0.5 This ensures the accuracy of the calculation of interface fracture toughness in different well sections, thereby improving the accuracy of the prediction results of the cement sheath interface unsealing length.
[0081] In step 340 above, the length of the cement sheath interface loss within each unit well section can be determined using the following formulas (8) to (10):
[0082]
[0083]
[0084]
[0085] Where l represents the length of the cement sheath interface loss within each unit well section, K1 represents the interface crack initiation toughness, K2 represents the interface fracture toughness, and μ * For the effective shear modulus, δ1 is the normal propagation size of the interface crack, and C l C represents the P-wave velocity in the microseismic data. s v is the shear wave velocity in the microseismic data. t This represents the rate of interface fracture propagation within each unit well section.
[0086] In one specific embodiment, the interfacial fracture toughness of each unit well section of the fracturing section to be tested is 0.34 MPa·m. 0.5 0.46 MPa·m 0.5 0.58 MPa·m 0.5 The interfacial crack initiation toughness of the fractured section under test is 1.2 MPa·m. 0.5 The shear wave velocity of the microseismic wave is 3.5 km / s and the longitudinal wave velocity is 6.5 km / s. Based on formulas (8) to (10), the unsealed length of the cement sheath interface of each unit well section can be calculated. After summing them, the unsealed length of the cement sheath interface of the fractured section to be tested is 16.8 m.
[0087] In this application, by calculating the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface in each unit well section, the accuracy of data processing can be improved, and the influence of the different propagation rates of interface cracks in different unit well sections on the calculation results can be avoided, thereby improving the accuracy of the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface in each unit well section, and thus improving the accuracy of the prediction results of the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface.
[0088] The method for predicting the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface proposed in this application can also be performed according to the following steps 360 to 380:
[0089] Step 360: Determine the unsealed length of the cement sheath interface of the adjacent fracturing section, wherein the adjacent fracturing section is adjacent to the fracturing section to be tested.
[0090] Step 370: Determine the perforation cluster spacing between the perforation cluster of the fractured section to be tested and the perforation cluster of the adjacent fractured section.
[0091] Step 380: Determine whether the length of the cement sheath interface loss in the fractured section to be tested is accurate based on the length of the cement sheath interface loss in the adjacent fractured section and the perforation cluster spacing.
[0092] In step 380 above, the accuracy of determining the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface of the fractured section to be tested based on the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface of the adjacent fractured section and the perforation cluster spacing can be specifically performed according to steps 381 to 382 as follows:
[0093] Step 381: If the difference between the sum of the unsealed length of the cement sheath interface of the adjacent fracturing section and the unsealed length of the cement sheath interface of the fracturing section to be tested and the perforation cluster spacing is less than or equal to a preset threshold, it indicates that the unsealed length of the cement sheath interface of the fracturing section to be tested is accurate.
[0094] Step 382: If the difference between the sum of the unsealed length of the cement sheath interface of the adjacent fracturing section and the unsealed length of the cement sheath interface of the fracturing section to be tested and the perforation cluster spacing is greater than a preset threshold, it indicates that the unsealed length of the cement sheath interface of the fracturing section to be tested is inaccurate.
[0095] In this application, the determination of the unsealed length of the cement sheath interface between adjacent fracturing sections can be specifically performed according to the method described in steps 310 to 350.
[0096] In this application, the preset threshold can be 1.5m, or other parameters as needed. This application does not impose any specific limitations on this.
[0097] In one specific embodiment, pressure fluctuations occurred between adjacent fracturing sections during the fracturing process. The fracturing operation time was 15:20:11, and the fracturing displacement was 12.6 m³. 3 The casing pressure was 62 MPa; the interface fracture propagation rates of each unit section in adjacent fracturing sections were 0.6 m / min, 0.55 m / min, and 0.38 m / min, respectively; the interface unsealing length of adjacent fracturing sections was calculated to be 21.9 m using the above method. Further measurements showed that the perforation cluster spacing between the tested fracturing section and the adjacent fracturing section was 40 m. The sum of the cement sheath interface unsealing length of the adjacent fracturing section and the cement sheath interface unsealing length of the tested fracturing section was calculated to be 38.7 m, with a difference of 1.3 m, which is less than the preset threshold of 1.5 m, indicating that the calculation of the cement sheath interface unsealing length of the tested fracturing section was accurate.
[0098] In this application, it is necessary to analyze the pressure fluctuation during the fracturing process of adjacent fracturing sections. If pressure fluctuation exists, it indicates that fracturing fluid crosstalk has occurred between the current fracturing section and the adjacent fracturing section. That is, the fracturing fluid of the fracturing section under test may enter the adjacent fracturing section through the interface fracture. At this time, the sum of the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface between the fracturing section under test and the adjacent fracturing section is the perforation cluster spacing between the fracturing section under test and the adjacent fracturing section. Based on this, the prediction result of the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface of the fracturing section under test can be judged, which can improve the accuracy of the prediction of the unsealing length of the cement sheath interface.
[0099] In this application, the interfacial fracture initiation toughness is first determined by the fracturing fluid performance parameters of the target well and the mechanical parameters of the fracturing section to be tested. Then, the interfacial fracture propagation rate within each unit well section is determined based on the interfacial fracture propagation time and the unit well section length. This avoids the impact of different propagation rates of interfacial fractures in different unit well sections on subsequent data processing. By measuring the propagation rate in each unit well section separately, the accuracy of the obtained interfacial fracture propagation rate can be improved, thereby improving the accuracy of predicting the cement sheath interface unsealing length. The interfacial fracture propagation rate within each unit well section and the mechanical parameters are used to determine the interfacial fracture initiation toughness. The parameters determine the interface fracture toughness of each unit well section. Then, using the microseismic data, the interface fracture initiation toughness, and the interface fracture toughness of each unit well section, the cement sheath interface unsealing length within each unit well section is determined. This further improves the accuracy of the data processing. Finally, the cement sheath interface unsealing lengths within each unit well section are summed to obtain the cement sheath interface unsealing length of the fractured section to be tested. In this way, the interference of different propagation rates of interface fractures within each unit well section on the prediction results of the cement sheath interface unsealing length can be avoided, ultimately improving the accuracy of the prediction results.
