Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of drilling fluid plugging performance testing technology, and in particular relates to a drilling fluid plugging performance testing device. Background Technology
[0002] The sealing performance of drilling fluid refers to its ability to effectively seal formation pores, fractures, and other channels during the drilling process, preventing drilling fluid loss and formation fluid intrusion into the wellbore. Good sealing performance can reduce drilling fluid loss to the formation, ensure stable well pressure, avoid complex situations such as well collapse and well kick caused by leakage, and ensure drilling safety.
[0003] Existing methods for evaluating drilling fluid plugging performance mostly employ indirect means such as measuring drilling fluid API filtration loss and using PPA-type drilling fluid plugging performance evaluation instruments. These methods indirectly infer the plugging performance of drilling fluid by measuring the water loss of the drilling fluid through the use of filter media with different specifications of pore size. This approach lacks intuitiveness and cannot measure or observe the actual plugging effect of drilling fluid on rock cores. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: 1. By using a porosity tester, soaking and rinsing mechanism, surface drying mechanism, and belt conveyor, the porosity of the rock core is directly measured before and after drilling fluid plugging to evaluate the plugging performance of the drilling fluid. By directly testing the sample rock core, the change in porosity (the ratio of the sum of the volumes of all pore spaces in the sample rock core to the volume of the rock sample) before and after the sample rock core is saturated with drilling fluid is evaluated to assess the plugging performance of the drilling fluid. This makes the testing of the drilling fluid plugging performance more intuitive, and can better realize the measurement and observation of the actual plugging effect of the drilling fluid on the rock core, directly reflecting the effect of the drilling fluid on the rock core plugging.
[0016] 2. Through the established weighing feedback mechanism and soaking and rinsing mechanism, the sample rock core can be automatically soaked in drilling fluid until it is saturated. It can also quickly rinse the soaked sample rock core and automatically adjust the soaking time based on the weight of the sample rock core. The heavier the sample rock core, the shorter the soaking time. This not only ensures that the sample rock core absorbs drilling fluid to a saturated state, but also avoids the problem of excessive soaking time affecting the testing efficiency. Because with the same volume, the greater the weight of the sample rock core, the greater the proportion of solid part of the rock, and the smaller the corresponding pore volume. That is, the sample rock core can absorb less drilling fluid, so a shorter time can ensure that the sample rock core reaches a saturated state.
[0017] 3. Through the established surface drying mechanism, drying time control mechanism, rotary feeding mechanism, and size confirmation and adjustment mechanism, the sample core can be automatically fed into the drying mechanism, avoiding the problem of manual handling of the sample core causing injury to workers due to the high temperature of the drying mechanism. It can quickly dry the moisture on the outer surface of the rinsed sample core, thereby ensuring the accuracy of porosity detection after the sample core reaches saturation. Furthermore, it can automatically adjust the drying time based on the outer surface area of the sample core, ensuring that the moisture on the outer surface of the sample core is completely dried, and preventing the loss of drilling fluid absorbed inside the sample core due to excessive drying time, which would affect the accuracy of drilling fluid plugging performance testing.

[0027] The PLC controller 10 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the base 1.
[0028] The operating principle of this invention is described as follows: The PLC controller 10 first controls the electric push rod 27 to push the feedback shell 28 upward, so that the driven gear 211 meshes with the driving gear 210. Then, the sample rock core to be tested is placed on the weighing plate 22 [the sample rock core is a cylindrical structure]. Under the action of the gravity of the sample rock core, the weighing plate 22 moves downward along the support slide rod 21 against the elastic force of the weighing spring 23. The weighing plate 22 drives the transmission rack 24 to move downward synchronously. Through the meshing action of the transmission rack 24 and the transmission gear 26, the input end of the speed-increasing gearbox 25 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the output end of the speed-increasing gearbox 25 to drive the driving gear 210 to rotate. Through the meshing action of the driving gear 210 and the driving gear 210, the speed-increasing gear 211 and the driving gear 210 rotate. The meshing action of the driven gear 211 drives the transmission screw 29 to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the transmission screw 29 and the transmission seat 212, the transmission seat 212 drives the position switch 213 to move toward the pressing plate 216. Specifically, the greater the weight of the sample rock core, the greater the distance the weighing plate 22 moves downward, resulting in more synchronous rotations of the transmission screw 29. This, in turn, causes the transmission seat 212 to move the position switch 213 a greater distance, making the distance between the position switch 213 and the pressing plate 216 smaller. After the weighing plate 22 stabilizes, the PLC controller 10 controls the electric push rod 27 to drive the feedback shell 28 to move downward again, causing the driven gear 211 to separate from the driving gear 210. The sample rock core was sent into the porosity tester 9 to test and record the porosity of the sample rock core before immersion. The sample core is then manually placed onto the support 32 inside the soaking cylinder 31, and drilling fluid is poured into the soaking cylinder 31 until the sample core is completely immersed in the drilling fluid. During soaking, the PLC controller 10 controls the drive motor 215 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating screw 214 to rotate. The screw 214 and the pressing plate 216 are connected by a threaded connection, causing the pressing plate 216 to move within the feedback housing 28 until the pressing plate 216 presses against the position switch 213, indicating that the soaking has started. Once the soaking process is complete, specifically, the greater the weight of a sample core of the same volume, the smaller the porosity of the sample core, the less drilling fluid it can absorb, and the easier it is to reach absorption saturation. At this time, a shorter absorption time is required to reach saturation. Simultaneously, the distance between the positioning switch 213 and the pressing plate 216 is also smaller. The pressing plate 216 can act on the positioning switch 213 with a shorter movement distance, so that the soaking process of the sample core can be completed in a shorter time after the soaking process begins. After soaking is completed, the PLC controller 10 receives a signal from the position switch 213. The PLC controller 10 controls the opening and closing valve on the discharge pipe 33 to open, so that the drilling fluid in the soaking cylinder 31 is discharged. After the drilling fluid is completely discharged, the PLC controller 10 controls the electric slide rail 34 and the water supply pump 310 to start. The water supply pump 310, together with the water supply pipe 39, draws clean cleaning water from the external water storage tank and delivers it to the annular flushing pipe 37 through the push-pull pipe 36. Then, it is flushed on the outside of the sample core by multiple flushing heads 38 in the annular flushing pipe 37 to rinse the sample core. The electric slide rail 34 drives the annular flushing pipe 37 to move up and down through the push-pull pipe 36 to thoroughly rinse the sample core. The rinsed sample core is then placed on the weighing plate 22. During this process, the sample core is placed directly inside the hollow clamping cylinder 65. The PLC controller 10 controls the electric telescopic rod 61 to move the hollow clamping cylinder 65 and the tamping rod 610 downwards until the tamping rod 610 presses against the pressure switch 69 on the side wall of the weighing plate 22. At this time, the PLC controller 10 controls the electric telescopic rod 61 to stop moving, so that the hollow clamping cylinder 65 is positioned relatively below the sample core. The PLC controller 10 then controls the pressurizing pump 68 to work. The pressurizing pump 68, together with the pressurizing pipe 67, supplies air into the hollow clamping cylinder 65, and then delivers the air to the elastic airbag 66 through multiple air holes opened inside the hollow clamping cylinder 65, thereby inflating the elastic airbag 66. The process begins until the elastic airbag 66 completely wraps around the outside of the sample core. At this point, the elastic airbag 66 can no longer expand, causing the air pressure inside the hollow clamping cylinder 65 to gradually increase until it is high enough to drive the pressure relief piston 612 to overcome the elastic force of the pressure spring 615 and slide inside the pressure relief cylinder 611. The movement of the pressure relief piston 612 drives the push rod 613 and the push plate 614 to move synchronously, causing the push plate 614 to press on the confirmation switch 616. This indicates that the clamping force of the elastic airbag 66 on the sample core is sufficient. The PLC controller 10 controls the pressurizing pump 68 to stop operating. The pressurizing pump 68 has a self-sealing structure, which prevents the air filled into the hollow clamping cylinder 65 from flowing back, thus keeping the squeezing force of the elastic airbag 66 on the sample core constant. When air is supplied to the hollow clamping cylinder 65 by the pressurizing pump 68, the PLC controller 10 controls the regulating motor 73 to operate synchronously. The regulating motor 73 drives the regulating screw 72 to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the regulating screw 72 and the regulating seat 74, the regulating seat 74 drives the regulating conductive contact 76 to slide on the regulating resistor rod 75, thereby gradually reducing the resistance value of the regulating resistor rod 75 until the confirmation switch 616 is pressed and triggered. At this time, the regulating motor 73 stops operating synchronously. Specifically, when the size of the sample rock core is larger, the gap between the elastic air bag 66 and the sample rock core is smaller, and the pressurizing pump 68 supplies less air to make the elastic air bag 66 inflate and stably clamp and fix the sample rock core. That is, the confirmation switch 616 will be pressed and triggered faster, and the working time of the regulating motor 73 is shorter, so that the sliding distance of the regulating conductive contact 76 on the regulating resistor rod 75 is shorter, and the resistance value of the regulating resistor rod 75 is relatively larger. The PLC controller 10 then controls the deflection motor 64 to drive the deflection frame 63 to rotate 90 degrees, changing the vertically positioned sample core to a horizontally positioned state. The PLC controller 10 then controls the electric telescopic rod 61 to operate until the sample core contacts the upper surface of the belt conveyor 8. At this point, the PLC controller 10 controls the belt conveyor 8 to operate and simultaneously controls the pressure pump 68 to reverse the airflow, causing the elastic airbag 66 to release its compression limit on the sample core. Driven by the belt conveyor 8, the sample core is then moved to... The electric rollers 42 inside the drying frame 41 [here, the electric rollers 42 are two rotating rollers that rotate in the same direction to realize the rotation of the sample rock core] drive the sample rock core to rotate. The PLC controller 10 controls the blower hot air fan 45 to work. The blower hot air fan 45, together with the air supply pipe 46, delivers hot air to the drying pipe 44, and acts on the outside of the sample rock core through multiple drying heads 43 to quickly dry the moisture on the outer surface of the sample rock core. Since the sample rock core is rotating, the outer surface of the sample rock core is thoroughly dried. During drying, the PLC controller 10 controls the geared motor 53 to operate. The geared motor 53 drives the intermediate shaft 52 to move the arc-shaped trigger block 55 within the control housing 51 until the arc-shaped trigger block 55 presses against the trigger switch 54, indicating that drying is complete. At this time, the PLC controller 10 controls the blower 45 and the electric roller 42 to stop operating. The control conductive contact 76 and the control resistor 75 are connected in series in the power supply circuit of the geared motor 53. The geared motor 53 is a DC motor. When the size of the sample core is larger, the resistance of the control resistor 75 is relatively large, the power supply current of the geared motor 53 is smaller, the speed of the geared motor 53 is lower, and the interval between the arc-shaped trigger block 55 acting on the trigger switch 54 is longer, automatically increasing the drying time. For large-sized sample cores, a longer drying time is used to ensure that the moisture on the outer surface of the sample core is completely dried. The sample rock core was placed in the porosity tester 9 again to test the porosity of the sample rock core after soaking. The porosity changes before and after soaking were analyzed to obtain the test results.
