Description

well wall stabilizing method and experimental device suitable for underbalanced drilling
Technical Field
The invention relates to an oil field drilling method, in particular to a well wall stabilizing method and an experimental device suitable for under-balanced drilling.
Background
Underbalanced drilling refers to a drilling technique in which the circulation pressure of the drilling fluid (including the fluid column pressure and the circulation back pressure) during drilling is lower than the pore pressure of the formation, so that the fluid in the formation enters the wellbore in a controlled manner and is circulated to the surface. The underbalanced drilling technology is adopted, so that the mechanical drilling speed can be improved, the service life of a drill bit is prolonged, the leakage and differential pressure sticking are reduced or eliminated, the drilling efficiency is improved, and the direct drilling cost is reduced; and a new production zone can be found, so that the soaking time of the oil-gas layer is reduced, and the invasion damage of the drilling fluid to the stratum is reduced or eliminated, thereby effectively protecting the oil-gas layer and improving the cumulative yield of the reservoir.
Therefore, the underbalanced drilling technology is widely applied at home and abroad. From 2007, the number of underbalanced wells drilled in the United states is over 12000 per year, accounting for about 26% of the total number of wells drilled per year, and the technology has become the first choice for reservoir opening; the underbalanced drilling technology is widely popularized in recent years in China, and as long as 2012 is reached, the application effect is obvious when the number of 1017 underbalanced wells is completed in China; however, the problem of borehole wall stability in underbalanced drilling has not been solved effectively, and has become a major obstacle restricting the technical development of underbalanced drilling.
Borehole instability of underbalanced drilling is mostly caused in shale intervals. After the shale stratum is opened, pressure transfer and material exchange can occur after the drilling fluid contacts with the stratum, so that stratum pressure change and rock strength reduction are caused, and the borehole wall is unstable. Formation pressure transfer and material exchange are controlled primarily by two factors: (1) the hydraulic potential difference between the drilling fluid column pressure and the formation pore pressure; (2) the chemical potential difference between the drilling fluid filtrate and the formation fluid. At present, the drilling fluid density of underbalanced drilling is designed according to stratum collapse pressure, stratum pore pressure and the pressure bearing capacity of equipment, only the influence of hydraulic potential difference on stratum pressure transmission and material exchange is considered, namely, the liquid column pressure is kept to be smaller than the stratum pore pressure, and the influence of chemical potential on stratum pressure transmission and material exchange is not considered, so that drilling filtrate invades the stratum under the action of the chemical potential, and underground complex conditions such as borehole wall collapse, stuck drilling and the like are caused. Therefore, it is only possible to keep the hydraulic and chemical potential differences between the drilling fluid and the formation fluid balanced at the same time, i.e. the total potential energy balance, to prevent the drilling fluid filtrate from invading the formation, reducing the strength of the formation, causing complex accidents and polluting the formation.
In conclusion, the traditional design method for the density of the underbalanced drilling fluid cannot be applied, and the simple and practical design method for the stability of the well wall of the underbalanced drilling well is provided based on the total potential energy balance theory and is very important for the stability of the well wall of the underbalanced drilling well.
