因水平井钻井液安全窗口较窄,所以准确预测水平井井筒循环温度对井底压力控制、安全快速钻进有很重要的意义.在常规钻井井筒温度计算理论和模型的基础上,根据传热学的基本原理和能量守恒方法,建立了包括垂直段、造斜段和水平段的水平井井筒循环温度预测模型,并用实测的井筒温度对模型预测结果进行了验证,误差仅为0.6%.通过计算分析得出,在水平段较短时,环空内钻井液最高循环温度位置位于水平段起始处或在造斜段末端处;当水平段较长时,环空内钻井液最高循环温度位置位于水平段,并随着水平段的延伸逐渐接近井底;水平段起始处的ESD将逐渐降低,ECD沿着水平段逐渐升高,在钻头处(即井底)最高.

Formation damage is prone to occur during drilling into the formations with medium/high permeability in Jabung Oilfield, Indonesia. To prevent formation damage and enhance productivity of oil wells, a novel low-damage drilling fluid was developed on the basis of the modification of currently used KCl polymer drilling fluid using a special technology. By virtue of the synergistic effect of ideal packing agents and film-forming agents, a sealing layer with high pressure bearing capability can be formed on the rock surface of borehole, so as to prevent drilling fluids from invading into formations effectively. It is shown from the results of numerous experiments that this drilling fluid has excellent rheological properties, very low filtration rates (API filtration rate<4mL and HTHP filtration rate≤12.5mL), good lubricity, and strongly inhibitive character to shale. Also, it exhibits remarkable effectiveness of formation protection indicated by the returned permeability as high as 88.11% and extremely low dynamic filtration rate lower than 4mL.
The empirical model of density-predicting for oil-base mud in HTHP conditions which was built on the basis of experiments has high simulation precision. However, the coefficients need to be re-regressed when the density of drilling fluid changed. In this paper, the method of predicting the density of enhanced oil-base mud in HTHP conditions is studied, basing on the density-model for oil-base mud of some certain density, while the formulation was invariant. The experiments data show that the weighting materials bring about additional changes in volume, so that the corrected predicting model has higher precision.
During deepwater well completion in AKPO,Nigeria,low temperature,shale instability,formation of gas hydrate and other factors often cause problems.Because of high-rate filter loss,current completion fluids lead to formation damages to different degrees.Based on reservoir characteristics and potential damage factors,this paper selected key treatment agent and optimized three different formation-friendly deep water completion fluids which are prepared for different well completions.The performance evaluation results showed that,the optimized systems had better properties in rheological behavior,filter-loss reduction,clay hydration inhibition and gas hydrate inhibition,compared with current completion fluids.The reservoir core permeability recovery rate reached over 85%.Field application showed that the skin factor of AKPO-302 completed with optimized fluids was only 0.25,while in some intervals of Well AKPO-1 and Well AKPO-2,the skin factor reached 100.The results proved the completion fluids had remarkable reservoir protection results.
在高温高压井中,当钻遇复杂地层时需及时调整钻井液的密度.目前所建立的油基钻井液在高温高压条件下的密度预测模型都是根据实验结果建立的经验模型,尽管这些模型具有较高的拟合精度,但当钻井液密度发生改变时,其模型中的各项回归系数就不再适用 建立了一个新的密度预测模型,其特点是,当油基钻井液配方不变时,可根据某一给定密度油基钻井液的含温度、压力的密度模型,准确地预测其加重后在高温高压条件下的密度.并且,将模型计算值与实验数据进行对比可以发现,加重材料的加入会对钻井液造成一个附加的体积变化,因而经本研究修正后的预测模型具有更高的准确性.
Through research on the flowing state of free water in drilling fluids, a special complexing agent was developed. This additive can increase the capillary force for free water to invade reservoirs and thus control filtrate invasion by effectively complexing the free water in drilling fluids. The invasion quantity and invasion depth of water into reservoirs can be reduced. In addition, the complexed free water can form a kind of special micelle and low-pemeability membrane so that it can effectively plug pore throats and microfractures, increase the bearing pressure of formations and decrease the required density of drilling fluids. Based on the results of CST tests, spontaneous water imbibition test of cores and measurement of free water content, it is concluded that the newly formulated drilling fluid with less free water can effectively complex free water in drilling fluids and reduce liquid invasion to formations. Field application shows that the less free water drilling fluid has good behaviors of rheology, lubricity and inhibition. It can increase the bearing capability of the formation, decrease the required density of drilling fluid, and shorten the drilling time.

If the drilling fluid can form the mud cake with no permeability on the borehole wall,the drilling fluidwill have better reservoir protection effectiveness.We need to find a more reasonable method,based on the optimummatching relationship between particle size of temporary blocking agent and pore size of reservoir.According totheIdeal Packing Theoryand thed90 Rule,a new beneficial optimum method for reservoir protection is putforward.We can find out the optimum matching relationship more rapidly and accurately,among different kinds oftemporary blocking agent products with a variety of particle size.Compared to traditional methods,the new methodis of a higher recovery value of core permeability,and it can stop the solid particle and filtrate from invading intohydrocarbon reservoir more effectively.Therefore it is good for reservoir protection.Field test also confirmes thatapplication of this new method can achieve the ideal effects of reservoir protection.
Surfactants are chosen to remove the oil on the surface of oily cuttings which are produced during the deepwater drilling in the West Africa. It is shown from experimental results that the two surfactants, ABSN and ABS, are suitable as the cleaning agents. The period of cleaning time is determined as 15 minutes. Based on the evaluation results, the formulations of cleaning agents are determined as follows: water +0.5% of ABS (sea-water +0.5% of ABS + 0.1% of STPP). By using this cleaning method, the oil content on the surfaces of cuttings can be reduced to below 2% which can meet the requirement of disposal to the sea. The vibrating washing machine and the LWTU wastewater treatment system are selected, and a treatment process for offshore drilled cuttings is proposed.
Conventional hot rolling furnace has some disadvantages,such as small radius of rotation of aging tank and low collision probability of the cuttings in the tank during experiments.As a result,HFZO-1 upturned hot rolling furnace has been developed to overcome these disadvantages.By using HFZO-1 upturned hot rolling furnace,many experiments have been performed in lab to study the factors affecting formation of gumbo balls during fast drilling.A new kind of surfactant that can be fast absorbed on the surface of cuttings has been developed.Combined with the measures,such as controlling solids,applying bentonite clay-free drilling fluid and reducing viscosity of drilling fluid,this new surfactant can effectively prevent the formation of gumbo balls during fast drilling.The application of this surfactant in Dongfang 1-1 gas field showed the good effect.
Condensate gas reservoirs with low-permeability are characterized by a tiny size of pore throats,poor permeability,high content of clay minerals and severe heterogeneity.Therefore,this type of reservoirs is susceptible to the damage of water sensitivity,water blocking,etc.caused by invasion fluids,and frequently to the damage of specific retrograde condensation.We analyzed mechanisms of formation damage systematically based on reservoir characteristics of the Baka condensate gas reservoir with low-permeability,the results showed that water blocking was the major damage to this reservoir and the damage ratio induced by water blocking ranged from 65.23% to 91.01%.On the basis of the sulphonic polymer drilling fluid previously used in this area,surfactants capable of effectively reducing the interfacial tension of oil/water contact were optimized,a new protection method characteristic of synergetic effectiveness by combining film forming with ideal packing was adopted,and consequently a drilling fluid with low damage was developed.The protection effect of this fluid on reservoirs was verified in compatibility tests and dynamic damage tests.The results showed that this fluid was of excellent rheological performance and compatibility,being capable of increasing the returned value of core permeability from 63.2% to 84.7% and of distinct protection of reservoirs.
There are continuous high concerns on formation protection technology in international petroleum engineering field. The reservoir drill-in fluid (RDF) is the first non-native fluid to contact formation, and which influences directly the ultimate capacity of oil and gas well. The paper discusses the smart RDF design method based on conventional drilling fluid. The designed RDF system is characterized as good formation damage control, as well as the performance easily adjusted for field application. The technology combines ideal packing technology with active calcium carbonate to obtain low permeability filter cake, high return permeability and low initial flowing pressure. The sized calcium carbonates contribute to develop sealing zone for preventing filtrate and solids from invading into formation, and the organophilic passageway in filter cake (the active calcium carbonate) is favorable to open automatically passageway for oil and gas during production. Different modifiers used to ground calciumcarbonate surface modification are evaluated in laboratory. And the laboratory results show modified calcium carbonates are comfortable with conventional drilling fluids additives such as XC(Xanthan ), potassium polyacrylate(K-PAM), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose(Na-CMC).
通过研究温度、压力、pH值等因素对CO2、CaCO3垢溶解度的影响,分析高含CO2天然气藏储集层的结垢机理.CO2的溶解度随温度升高而降低,随压力升高而升高,随地层水矿化度的升高而降低;CaCO3在水中的溶解度随温度升高而降低,随压力的升高而升高,溶液pH值升高会促进CaCO3的生成.结合吉林油田典型含CO2天然气藏储集层特征进行了结垢预测,认为钻井液滤液侵入储集层后,储集层近井地带存在结CaCO3垢的可能.针对气藏储集层埋藏深、井底温度高、地层压力系数低、裂缝发育等特点,优选了水包油及甲酸盐无固相两种欠平衡钻井液体系,CO2侵入、动态污染实验评价表明,两种钻井液均具有很好的抗CO2污染能力,储集层保护效果显著.两种欠平衡钻井液体系已分别在龙深2井和龙深3井进行了现场应用,效果良好,现场钻井液的岩心渗透率恢复值均在85%以上,满足欠平衡钻井的要求.
Downhole accidents such as borehole instability,hole enlargement,hole shrinkage,low coring efficiency and tripping problem are often seen during drilling process in the Block 6 of Sudan. Based on "ideal packing theory" and membrane-forming technology,a new low damage anti-sloughing drilling fluid system has been developed and applied in the Block 6 of Sudan by blending temporary plugging agents of different grain sizes in certain proportion according to reservoir lithology,aperture,pore throat and permeability. Experiment result shows that the original drilling fluid has severely damaged the core; the new drilling fluid uses treatment agents uncontaminated to environment and without fluorescence,and the cuttings are better representative and easy to clean. The new drilling fluid can significantly improve the return permeability of core sample,reduce the dynamic filtration rate,effectively prevent solid particles and filtrate from entering reservoir,and meet the requirements of safe,fast and economic drilling in the Block 6,Sudan. This new drilling fluid system has been successfully used in drilling the Aradeiba shale formation and achieved very satisfactory effect of reservoir protection.
