Abstract The packer is a key component of the downhole sealing system during well completion stage, and its sealing reliability is directly related to the effectiveness of the downhole sealing system. The reliability assignment of the packer should meet the multi-level and multi-factor requirements, and it has the coexistence of quantity and quality analysis. Thus, how to achieve the reasonable reliability allocation of the packer is very important. This article introduced the reliability allocation for a typical compression packer based on the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method. The structure of analytic hierarchy process for compression packer’s reliability allocation was established, which include the target layer, criterion layer and object layer. To quantitatively calculate the weights of the main part of the compression packer system, the FAHP method was performed, which consist of the sealing unit, anchoring unit, locking and anti-retreat unit, seating unit, unseating unit and anti-open unit. The three-scale judgment matrix scale was conducted to make the fuzzy consistency matrix meet the consistency conditions. Based on the weight analysis results and the preset reliability, the reliability allocation of the compression packer system was performed. The obtained distribution results satisfy the preset requirements and consistent with the actual operation of the packer, which proves the feasibility and validity of FAHP method. The proposed method reasonably solves fuzzy decision-making problem in the process of reliability allocation, and provides an efficient and reasonable way for the reliability allocation of the packer.
针对提高连续管井下作业延伸极限的振荡减阻工具,根据水击效应建立了振荡减阻器工作时的水击方程,采用渐近线法对水击方程组进行求解,得到装有振荡减阻器的管路内流体压力与流速分布.同时,根据动量定理计算了水击振荡器引起的管柱轴向力和径向力变化,此径向力将改变管柱的法向接触力,进而改变摩阻力.计算结果表明:流体流速幅度从振荡器位置向水平井跟端位置呈阶梯式降低,压力幅度呈阶梯式上升,在阀的每一个开关周期内流体流速和压力都会陡然变化.当流体通过振荡器时,由于流体流速变化,单位质量流体将产生瞬时轴向拉力,将管柱静摩擦转化为动摩擦,有助于连续管在井眼内移动.

Abstract In response to the borehole instability problems such as wellbore collapse and sand production, which often occur in drilling and completion, a thermosensitive screen technology that can expand spontaneously at a specific temperature has been developed. The radial expansion of the screen allows for annulus filling and borehole strengthening. This paper provides a theoretical evaluation of the comprehensive performance of the thermosensitive screen on wellbore collapse. The results show that the thermosensitive screen barely expands before reaching the conversion temperature, which facilitates the screen's descent into the target depth. After reaching the destination depth, it can be stimulated to expand under the influence of conditions such as formation temperature. The extruding stress after screen expansion contacting the wellbore wall can effectively improve the stress distribution around the near-wellbore and reduce the shear instability caused by the difference between the maximum and minimum principal stress of the formation, while at the completion stage of production, it can effectively improve the flowing downhole pressure, thus increasing the drawdown pressure.

To address the problem of ultra-high pressure ultra-high temperature and difficult completion string design in the ultra-deep horizontal wells in Shunnan in the north slope of Tazhong, a set of optimization design methods for ultra-deep horizontal well multistage completion string is proposed. The wellbore pressure, temperature distribution and production casing safety factor of an ultra-deep horizontal well in Shunnan are calculated. The parameters including the completion string size, the completion fluid density and the position of the packer are optimized. The countermeasures for address the design problem of the completion string are formulated in a targeted manner. The design of the completion string is optimized and the operation control parameters under different working conditions are obtained:under the pressure of 50 MPa balanced casing pressure, the maximum pump pressure should not exceed 74 MPa during low acid squeezing. When the fracturing displacement is 7 m3/min, the predicted pump pressure is 110 MPa. Assuming daily gas production of 20×104 m3, the predicted tubing pressure is 53 MPa, presenting no need to balance the casing pressure. The production capacity is exhausted in the late development stage, and the pure gas tubing pressure should be no less than 14 MPa. Based on the optimized completion string, the packers are stress checked, and the performance of the liner hanger packer and the multistage open-hole packer under all working conditions meets the design requirements. The study could provide references for similar designs.

For geothermal wells in China, heat preservation and cost saving are critical to amplify industry scale, upgrade industrial structure, and optimize energy structure.Therefore, a wellbore temperature calculation model was established considering the characteristics of geothermal well bore configuration.The model was valida-ted through the test data of a case well,and the deviation of wellhead fluid temperature was only 1℃compared with the real data and simulated date.For sections with severe heat loss in geothermal well, a new completion string structure was proposed based on heat transfer coefficient models and temperature calculation methods.Field appli-cations show that wellbore heat loss was reduced significantly by changing the completion string and annulus media, for example, the temperature of wellhead fluid production raised 6.1℃by changing completion string and 10.1℃by using the insulation tubing.Completion string was optimized considering construction and material cost.The re-sults are meaningful for the development of geothermal wells.

AHR packer retrieval by normal overpull can be difficult when they have been set in highly deviated or horizontal sections ,or when improper operations have caused workover problem .The axial force of tubing in horizontal well was analyzed based on structure and mechanism analysis of the AHR packer , and the over pull force that transmitted to the packer was simulated .Within the rated tensile strength of tubing if the overpull was not sufficient to overcome the preset releasing force of the packer ,coil tubing could be utilized to evacuate the tubing by pumping nitrogen through positive circulation ,and release for‐mation pressure to push the packer upwards ,at the same time ,tubing could be pulled for shearing off the pins and releasing the packer .Taking Well S22 in Y field as an example ,when the pulling force reached a tensile strength of 921 kN ,the force transmitted to the packer was only 236 kN ,then 1 650 m was tubing was e‐vacuated and 205 kN upwards force was released ,the total force applied to the pins of the packer was 441 kN ,the packer was successfully released .The study demonstrated that the evacuation of partial fluid to release the forma‐tion pressure can compensate for the insufficient releasing force on the packer ,and the approach can provide refer‐ence of theory and practice for releasing packers in highly deviated or horizontal wells .

Abstract Nowadays, the annual heavy oil production is more than 15 million tons in China and more than 60% of which are developed by cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) technology. Vacuum insulated tubing (VIT) with thermal packer is the mostly adopted thermal insulation manner during steam injection progress. This usually leads to two major problems. One is casing integrity issues like casing crack, casing collapse, and cement sheath damage induced by thermal packers's failure or cyclic casing as Well as cement heating. Another problem is frequent injection and production strings transformation, and this leads to operation cost increasing and high temperature production time wasting especially when CSS is of short cycle in super-heavy oil or thin thickness reservoirs. In order to solve the two problems, the vacuum insulated casing (VIC) and relevant integral completion technique are researched taking well completion, heat insulation and hereafter production into consideration simultaneously rather than separately. This completion technique injects steam by VIC while not by VIT and produces in normal tubing, thus eliminates the thermal packer's failure problems, meanwhile, simplifies the injection and production pipe conversion process and saves production time. VIC's heat loss and steam quality along wellbore are compared with that of VIT. The related techniques like cementing, perforation while adopting VIC are also studied. Field trials in Henan oilfield in China verify this completion's suitability for CSS in heating insulation, production performance and economics compared with normal method of CSS. The completion provides a long-term Well integrity solution for thermal Well recovery not only by CSS, also by other thermal manners like SAGD. Also, it can play an important role in heat proof exploitation of other resources like gas hydrate and geothermal energy.
