In this embodiment, the well is a three-way well, and it is understood that in other embodiments of the present invention, the well may be any one of a one-way well, a two-way well, or a four-way well.
FIG. 6 is a dynamic single point well depth-temperature profile provided by an embodiment of the present invention; please refer to fig. 6.
A temperature measuring device (temperature measuring nipple) is installed on the drill string, and the temperature measuring device is defined as B' as shown in fig. 6. The data measured by the temperature measuring device is the depth of the three openings (t)0Time point) B' is located at well depth H0At a temperature of T0(ii) a After three drills are finished (t)1Time of day), as the wellbore deepens, the position of point B' in the wellbore moves to B, i.e., the well depth H1At a temperature of T1.

At the beginning of drilling, the temperature of the temperature measurement point increases with time, but this increase involves two factors: on one hand, the well depth is increased, and the formation temperature is higher, so that the annular temperature is increased; on the other hand, as the cycle time increases, bottom hole heat is carried to the wellhead, which increases the upper interval annulus temperature, but decreases the lower interval temperature.
In this example, the drilling fluid temperature rise value is measured.
Specifically, after drilling, after the thermodynamic equilibrium between the fluid in the shaft and the stratum is achieved, arranging the temperature measuring device on a drill column, putting the drill column into the well, standing for 4-6 hours, taking out the drill column, wherein the relation between the temperature recorded by the temperature measuring device and the well depth is the annulus static temperature;

FIG. 8 is a temperature increase distribution curve of the drilling fluid circulation obtained by the temperature measuring nipple C' in FIG. 7; please refer to fig. 8.
For the temperature measuring nipple C' in FIG. 7; before drilling, the temperature of the empty well shaft and the static temperature of the annulus can be obtained through the cable type temperature measuring device and the temperature measuring short section.
As mentioned above, the acquisition is performed at different cycle times (drilling different times) t1And t2The dynamic circulation temperature distribution condition of the annular space can be respectively obtained. t is t1The dynamic temperature of the annulus at the moment is subtracted by the static temperature of the annulus at the same well depth, and the difference is the circulation time t of the fluid (drilling fluid) at the depth1Temperature rise value after time t1-t0That is, the well depth is H0Drill to H1Time of (d). The same can be obtained at t2While, from well depth H1To H2The annular temperature increases. Therefore, a series of measured drilling fluid circulation temperature increase values of the upper well section are obtained by the method. Similarly, for the lower well section, the temperature decrease value at the time point can be obtained according to the method, and the temperature change condition of the whole well section can be drawn, as shown in fig. 8.
FIG. 9 is a full well cycle temperature increase curve at different times provided by embodiments of the present invention; FIG. 10 is a plot of annular dynamic temperature versus time for an intentional depth point provided by an embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, 4 temperature measuring nipples (C, B, A, O, respectively) are provided, and the temperature increase value (or temperature decrease value) caused by circulation of the drilling fluid at different times (corresponding to different depths) of each temperature measuring nipple is plotted on a Δ T-H diagram, and in this embodiment, results at 6 time points are obtained (as shown in fig. 9); and fitting a curve of the circulating temperature rise of the whole well at different moments by referring to the trend line of the static temperature distribution of the empty well barrel through the points of 4 temperature measuring nipples on the delta T-H diagram at the same moment to obtain the distribution of the dynamic temperature of the annulus along with the well depth at any moment. As shown in fig. 9.
Further, from the results of fig. 9, if one wants to find the cyclic temperature rise values of a given well depth H' at different times, as shown in fig. 9: and (4) making a vertical line at the point H 'to cross the delta T-H line at different times to obtain the temperature increment of the point H' at different moments. And (3) drawing the temperature increment of the H' at different depths on the delta T-T graph to obtain the change of the dynamic temperature of the annulus at any depth point along with the time, as shown in figure 10.
Further, the temperature increment Δ T at any time within the actual elapsed cycle time can be obtained by applying the difference method; the temperature increase Δ T outside the actual elapsed cycle time can be determined using extrapolation methods (limited range).
The method is a set of thinking and a method for acquiring the formation temperature and the shaft temperature by the test data of the temperature measuring short section and the cable type well temperature logging device, but in fact, the dynamic change characteristics of the formation and the shaft temperature under different working conditions in the well can be predicted by a method of combining the actual measurement data with a mathematical model.
In summary, the original formation temperature, the dynamic temperature change and the static temperature in the wellbore, the temperature of the fluid (or drilling fluid) in the wellbore and the temperature increase amount of the fluid can be measured by the method, and the dynamic change characteristics of the formation and wellbore temperatures under different working conditions in the well can be predicted.
