Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of drilling fluid recovery devices, and more specifically to a single-barrel double-well casing drilling fluid recovery device. Background Art

[0002] At present, the single-barrel double-well drilling technology in the Bohai Oilfield is widely used in offshore oil and gas development projects. This technology realizes the separation of multiple wellbores along a predetermined trajectory in one slot, and each wellbore is relatively independent and can complete the drilling and completion operations separately, so as to reduce the construction scale of the jacket of the offshore production platform and improve the utilization rate of the offshore slot. Maximize the economic development of the reservoir in this block.

[0003] The current common single-barrel double-well drilling methods in the oilfield are the placeholder drill form and the form of expanding the hole and running in two sets of surface casings. With the gradual increase of green environmental protection development projects in the oilfield, many nature reserves and ecological breeding areas are included in the development projects. In order to improve the utilization rate of the slot, these development projects are usually designed as single-barrel double-well slots. According to the current operation experience, to achieve both single-barrel double-well and green environmental protection development, only a closed-circuit wellhead can be installed in the placeholder drill form. For the placeholder drill form, each well needs to install a closed-circuit wellhead for silt cleaning operation and group the placeholder drill, which increases 12 hours for each single well and affects the operation efficiency; after cementing, it is necessary to use the placeholder drill to clean the cement of the adjacent well in time and take out the placeholder drill in time to prevent the risk of the placeholder drill being unable to be taken out; after taking out the placeholder drill, during the waiting for setting process of the casing, it is extremely easy to squeeze towards the side of the placeholder drill, resulting in the reduction of the wellbore size of the other well and bringing the risk of wellbore structure change. Based on the above technical problems, there is an urgent need for a single-barrel double-well casing drilling fluid recovery device to realize the successful application of the form of expanding the hole and running in two sets of surface casings for single-barrel double-well in the environmental protection zero-emission project.
