The invention discloses a
drilling fluid flow calculation method for
gas lift reverse circulation drilling. The
drilling fluid flow calculation method comprises the following steps: S1, defining a
gas lift reverse circulation lifting force and
friction loss pressure model; s2, assuming that the
drilling fluid flow in the circulation process is Qm; s3, calculating the total friction pressure of
gas lift reverse circulation; s4, calculating the gas lift reverse circulation lifting force; and S5, according to the gas-lift reverse circulation lifting force and the gas-lift reverse circulation total
friction force, the upward
backflow amount of the drilling fluid is calculated. According to the invention, by inputting the gas lift reverse circulation well depth structure and the drilling related parameters, the influence of the gas lift reverse circulation well depth structure and the drilling related parameters on the
backflow amount of the drilling fluid is researched, so that the optimal operation parameters of the optimal gas lift reverse circulation are obtained. According to the method, parameters of the
air compressor air supply amount, the double-wall
drill rod
tripping-in depth, the double-wall
drill rod specification and the single-wall
drill rod specification selected for drilling of the gas lift reverse circulation geothermal
well drilling can be optimized, and a reasonable theoretical basis is provided for more reasonably achieving gas lift reverse circulation drilling.
