Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of petroleum, especially relate to a fracture plate and install the downhole leakage evaluation device for drilling fluid with the fracture plate. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the drilling process, formation leakage is a common and thorny problem. The existence of formation leakage channel will cause a large amount of drilling fluid loss, not only affect the normal drilling operation, but also cause huge economic losses. In order to effectively deal with the formation leakage, it is usually necessary to add plugging material to the drilling fluid to prepare plugging slurry for plugging operation. However, how does the plugging effect of the plugging material need to be tested by experiment.

[0003] At present, PPA type permeability plugging instrument is widely used in the industry to test the plugging capacity of plugging material. The core component of the equipment is the fracture plate, which simulates the process of plugging agent bridging to form plugging in the gap when plugging slurry passes through the fracture plate, so as to evaluate the plugging performance of the plugging agent. However, the conventional fracture plate used in the existing PPA type permeability plugging instrument has many limitations. Its fracture is usually a straight gap with fixed width, which cannot simulate the complex and variable leakage channel shape in the formation, such as multiple fractures, irregular channel shape, etc., resulting in a large deviation between the experimental results and the actual formation leakage. In addition, the thickness of the conventional fracture plate is generally different from the thickness of the actual formation leakage channel, which further affects the accuracy of the experiment. More importantly, the existing fracture plate is in direct contact with the bottom of the cup cover of the drilling fluid cup. When the pressure continues to increase in the experiment, the pressure will be transmitted from the plugging plug to the bottom of the cup cover. As a supporting component, the bottom of the cup cover cannot accurately reflect the pressure bearing capacity of the plugging plug itself, so that the experimental results cannot comprehensively evaluate the plugging effect of the plugging material in the actual downhole environment.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems in actual production and implementation, a fracture plate and a downhole leakage evaluation device for drilling fluid with the fracture plate are provided to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0028] As Figure 2 Figure 3 shown in the embodiment, the plate body 3 is circular, the channel is quadrangular prism shape, and the ports located on the top surface and the bottom surface of the plate body 3 are rectangular respectively.

[0029] The channel is provided with two, and the two channels are distributed in mirror image symmetry on the plate body 3.

[0030] Embodiment 2: a fracture plate, the fracture plate comprising a plate body 3, the plate body 3 being provided with a channel, the channel penetrating through the plate body 3, the plate body 3 comprising a top surface and a bottom surface, two ports of the channel being respectively located on the top surface and the bottom surface, among the two ports, the port located on the top surface is larger than the port located on the bottom surface.

[0031] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 , in the embodiment, the plate body 3 is circular, the channel is in the shape of a truncated cone, and the ports located on the top surface and the bottom surface of the plate body 3 are respectively circular.

[0032] The channel is provided with four, and the four channels are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of the plate body 3.

[0033] Specifically, the fracture plate contains a plurality of fractures, and the fracture shape is irregular to simulate the complex and variable loss channel in the formation. In the technical solution, the channel of the fracture plate is defined as a circular truncated cone or a truncated cone shape for ease of description. The fracture plate has larger pores on the top surface and smaller pores on the bottom surface, forming a certain pore gradient, which is closer to the pore distribution of the actual formation loss channel. At the same time, the thickness of the fracture plate is thicker than the conventional fracture plate, so as to better simulate the thickness of the actual formation loss channel and improve the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0034] Embodiment 3: as shown in Figure 1 , a downhole loss evaluation device for drilling fluid 5 is provided with the fracture plate in embodiments 1 and 2.

[0035] The downhole loss evaluation device for drilling fluid 5 comprises a drilling fluid 5 cup, and the drilling fluid 5 cup comprises a cup body, and the fracture plate is installed in the cup body.

[0036] Specifically, the inner wall of the cup body is provided with a scale line 10, and the fracture plate is located in a position corresponding to the scale line 10.

A metal gasket 11 serving as a support is placed above the crack plate, the gasket 11 is close to both sides of the drilling fluid 5 cup, and the middle part of the crack plate is suspended. A filter paper is placed above the gasket 11 to prevent fine particles in the plugging slurry from blocking the communication valve rod 1 on the cup cover 2. This structural design makes the pressure directly act on the plugging plug during the experiment when the plugging agent forms a plugging plug at the crack plate, instead of being transmitted through the bottom of the cup cover 2, so that the pressure-bearing capacity of the plugging plug can be accurately tested.

[0041] Working process: During the experiment, first, install the piston 6 in the drilling fluid 5 cup and add a small amount of hydraulic oil 9.

After the experiment is completed, remove the crack plate and observe the plugging condition of the plugging agent to the crack passage, so as to evaluate the plugging effect of the plugging material.

[0042] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
