Description

Method for hermetically removing harmful gas in drilling fluid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of oil drilling closed drilling processes, in particular to a method for removing harmful gas in drilling fluid in an atmosphere isolated closed drilling circulation system, and more particularly relates to a method for removing harmful gas in drilling fluid in a closed manner.
Background
The underbalanced drilling refers to a drilling process when the pressure of a drilling fluid column of a shaft is smaller than the pressure of a stratum in the drilling process, has the advantages of improving the drilling efficiency, discovering and protecting a reservoir, improving the yield of oil gas and the like, and has wide market prospect at home and abroad. During underbalanced drilling, formation fluid enters the wellbore and returns to the surface with the drilling fluid, since the formation pressure is greater than the bottom hole fluid column pressure. The returned fluid contains volatile hydrocarbon gas or hydrogen sulfide and other toxic and harmful gases. At present, the domestic main ground treatment equipment generally adopts a gas-liquid two-phase separator, and due to certain pressure in the device, the gas-liquid two-phase separator can only separate most slug flow or large bubble gas in the drilling fluid, and the higher the pressure is, the more adverse to the separation of the gas is. Harmful gas such as hydrogen sulfide in the form of small bubbles which is difficult to separate is also left in the drilling fluid. If the drilling fluid which is not completely separated and cleaned is discharged into an open device such as an oil skimming tank or a vibrating screen, poisonous and harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide and the like are volatilized to cause serious threats to well site personnel and the surrounding environment. Thus, when drilling operations are currently performed in sulfur-bearing formations, underbalanced drilling techniques cannot be used when the hydrogen sulfide concentration is greater than 50 ppm. Even during conventional overbalanced drilling (i.e., the pressure of the drilling fluid column in the wellbore is greater than the pressure of the formation), when a formation containing unpredictable toxic and harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide is drilled, the formation gases volatilized into the atmosphere will cause harm to personnel and the environment if no relevant surface gas treatment equipment is provided.
With the promulgation of the new "safety production law of the people's republic of China" and the "environmental protection law of the people's republic of China", the environment protection and the safety production are increasingly emphasized and strict by the nation and the society. The process method for completely and hermetically removing toxic and harmful gases in the drilling fluid in the drilling process becomes a necessary trend.
The invention discloses an invention patent with a publication number of CN101525993A, namely a method for monitoring and controlling hydrogen sulfide in sulfur-bearing stratum underbalanced drilling well in 2009 and 9 days in 2009, wherein the invention patent is characterized in that the content of hydrogen sulfide in drilling fluid is monitored when the drilling fluid passes through a closed sampler, a monitored hydrogen sulfide content signal is input into a control system, the control system converts the monitored hydrogen sulfide content signal into the amount of a required desulfurizing agent and sends an instruction, and the desulfurizing agent is injected into a four-phase separator to react the hydrogen sulfide in the drilling fluid with the desulfurizing agent so as to remove residual hydrogen sulfide.
In the method for treating hydrogen sulfide in the prior art, the excessive addition of the sulfur removal agent into the drilling fluid can affect the performance of the drilling fluid material to a certain extent, so that the addition amount of the sulfur removal agent is limited to a certain extent, and after the addition amount of the sulfur removal agent is limited, the removal effect and efficiency of the hydrogen sulfide can be affected, and the hydrogen sulfide in the drilling fluid can not be removed well.

And (4) bypassing the solid control system to directly inject the drilling fluid treated in the third-stage separation system into the well for circulating treatment.
In the third-stage separation system, the separation of the participating gases is carried out by adopting a structural mode combining negative pressure pumping separation, under-liquid turbulence and fluid temperature control; the method specifically comprises the following steps: the drilling fluid treated by the secondary separator enters a separation tank in a third-stage separation system, centrifugal separation is carried out, gas after centrifugal separation is separated from the upper part of the separation tank, and the separated drilling fluid falls into the separation tank; heating and adjusting the drilling fluid through a drilling fluid heating system; stirring and disturbing fluid at the bottom of the drilling fluid in the separation tank; pumping the drilling fluid at the drilling fluid outlet in the separation tank to the liquid level of the drilling fluid for spraying; arranging a vacuum system in the separating tank, and pumping the separating tank to a negative pressure state through the vacuum system; the vacuum system pumps the gas in the separation tank to the gas treatment device.

And in the third-stage separation system, collecting the gas treated by the gas treatment device, and injecting the collected treated gas into the well for repeated circulation.
Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects brought by the invention are as follows:
1. the method is characterized in that a three-stage separation system is adopted to carry out step-by-step depressurization separation on high-pressure fluid containing toxic and harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide and the like returned from a wellhead, and harmful gases of bubbles in different forms in the drilling fluid are subjected to stage treatment.

The invention is provided with gas treatment equipment for desulfurization and the like to carry out environment-friendly treatment on the separated gas. The separated gas can be ignited and combusted, and can be injected into the well for circulation after being re-pressurized in the gas-filled well drilling, so that the consumption of equipment resources is saved, and the use cost is reduced.
2. The invention has the unique advantages that the invention also adopts three-level safety measures of medicament injection, bypass reflux and circulating reinjection to control the drilling fluid treatment control process when the ground separation system can not completely separate the toxic and harmful gases, and avoids the harm to personnel and environment caused by the volatilization of the toxic and harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide and the like to the atmosphere in the solid control system to the maximum extent. Meanwhile, the pressure of the vertical pipe before the single connection is released to a separation system, so that the safety of drilling operation is improved, and the requirements of safety and environmental protection are met.
3. The drilling fluid containing harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide returns to the ground from a wellhead through a pipeline a and enters a ground drilling fluid closed treatment system. The pressure of the returned fluid is high, and the throttling pipe with high pressure level is arranged to reduce the pressure of the system, so that the well control risk caused by that the returned drilling fluid is directly led into the separator and possibly exceeds the working pressure of equipment is avoided. If the pressure of the fluid returned from the wellhead is too high when drilling in the reservoir section of the high-pressure high-sulfur-content gas well, the ground circulating pressure can be reduced step by adopting a mode of serially connecting the double throttling system devices, so that the overweight working load of a single throttling manifold is avoided, the foaming phenomenon of the drilling fluid caused by the overhigh pressure drop is also avoided, and the separation efficiency is improved.
4. The high-pressure fluid enters the primary separator through a pipeline b after being depressurized through a throttle manifold, and the primary separator has certain working pressure (more than or equal to 2.5 MPa). Because the higher the pressure is, the lower the separation efficiency of the separator is, the primary separator can only separate the gas which returns the plug flow bubbles or large bubbles in the middle section of the drilling fluid. The operating pressure of the pipeline should be greater than the operating pressure of the primary separator. In the present invention, the primary separator 3 may be a conventional liquid-gas separator or other known type of separator.
5. And directly introducing the drilling fluid separated by the primary separator into a secondary separator for secondary separation through a pipeline c. The working pressure of the second-stage separator is smaller than that of the primary separator and is about 1.0-2.5 MPa.

In the present invention, the second stage separator may be a conventional liquid-gas separator, a multi-phase separator, or other known type of separator.
6. And pumping the drilling fluid separated by the second-stage separator into a third-stage separation system by a high-speed centrifugal sand pump through a pipeline. And if the pressure of the second-stage separation system is higher, the drilling fluid is directly discharged into the third-stage separation system by pressure through a bypass pipeline. The working pressure of the third-stage separation system can be adjusted through a negative pressure system, and the pressure range is about-0.05-0.5 MPa. In the third-stage separation system, the residual micro gas is separated by adopting a structure mode combining negative pressure extraction separation, under-liquid turbulence, fluid temperature control and the like. The third stage separation system in the present invention may be a known negative pressure separation apparatus or a specially designed gas-liquid separation system.
7. In the third-stage separation system, the drilling fluid is subjected to temperature rise regulation in the separation tank through the drilling fluid heating system, the solubility of hydrogen sulfide is reduced under the influence of the temperature rise of the drilling fluid, and part of hydrogen sulfide gas is separated from the drilling fluid. The stirring mechanism is arranged in the tank, so that fluid at the bottom of the drilling fluid can be stirred and disturbed, and the separation of hydrogen sulfide gas in the high-viscosity drilling fluid is facilitated. Meanwhile, the underwater turbulent flow spraying mechanism is arranged in the middle of the tank, drilling fluid near a drilling fluid outlet in the tank is pumped to the bottom layer drilling fluid in the middle of the tank to be sprayed, and hydrogen sulfide of micro bubbles which are not easy to separate and are at the bottom of the drilling fluid can be circulated to the liquid level to be degassed and separated. The upper space in the tank is pumped to a negative pressure state by a vacuum system, so that the diameter of hydrogen sulfide bubbles in the drilling fluid is increased along with the reduction of pressure in the process of rising to the liquid level, the buoyancy is increased, and the rapid rising and separation of the bubbles are facilitated.

Example 4
Referring to the attached drawings 1 and 2 of the specification, the embodiment discloses as a further preferred embodiment of the invention:
a method for removing harmful gas in drilling fluid in a sealed mode includes that the drilling fluid containing harmful gas such as hydrogen sulfide returns to the ground from a wellhead 1 through a pipeline a and enters a ground drilling fluid sealed processing system. The pressure of the returned fluid is high, a high-pressure-level throttle manifold 2 is arranged to reduce the system pressure, the high-pressure fluid is reduced in pressure through the throttle manifold 2 and then enters the primary separator 3 through a pipeline b, and the primary separator 3 has a certain working pressure (greater than or equal to 2.5 MPa). Since the higher the pressure, the lower the separation efficiency of the separator, the primary separator 3 can only separate the gas returning to the section of the drilling fluid, which is a slug flow bubble or a large bubble. The operating pressure of line b should be greater than the operating pressure of the primary separator 3. In the present invention, the primary separator 3 may be a conventional liquid-gas separator or other known type of separator.
The drilling fluid separated by the primary separator 3 is directly led into the secondary separation system 4 through a pipeline c for secondary separation. The working pressure of the second-stage separation system 4 is smaller than that of the primary separator and is about 1.0-2.5 MPa. In the second-stage separation, most of gas in the drilling fluid is separated completely, but the micro bubbles with the diameter less than 3mm are still not easy to be completely separated under certain pressure. The operating pressure of line c should be greater than the operating pressure of the second stage separation system 4. In the present invention, the second stage separation system 4 may be a conventional liquid-gas separator, a multi-phase separator, or other known type of separator.
And pumping the drilling fluid separated by the second-stage separation system 4 into the third-stage separation system 5 by a high-speed centrifugal sand pump 30 through a pipeline d. If the pressure in the second stage separation system 4 is high, the drilling fluid can be directly discharged into the third stage separation system 5 by pressure through a bypass line by closing the valve 39 and opening the valve 38. The working pressure of the third-stage separation system 5 can be adjusted by a negative pressure system, and the pressure range is about-0.05-0.5 MPa. In the third-stage separation system 5, the residual micro gas is separated by adopting a structure mode combining negative pressure extraction, under-liquid turbulence, fluid temperature control and the like. The third stage separation system 5 in the present invention may be a known negative pressure separation apparatus or a specially designed gas-liquid separation system.
The gases separated in the separation systems of the respective stages are introduced into the gas treatment apparatus 6 through the lines h, i, j, respectively, and check valves 13, 14, 15 are provided in the lines to prevent gas from flowing backward. The gas separated by the third stage separation system needs to be pumped into the treatment device 6 by suction equipment such as a vacuum pump 16, and the device can be gas treatment equipment such as desulfurization drying equipment. The treated gas is connected to the ignition device 7 through pipelines k and l for ignition and combustion, and a fire damper 18 is arranged on the pipeline l close to the ignition device to prevent flame from returning when the gas flow is small. If the separated gas also contains nitrogen, carbon dioxide or hydrocarbon gas in the gas-filled well, the separated gas can be collected, the valve 17 on the pipeline l is closed, the valves 20 and 22 on the pipeline m are opened, the multiphase pressure pump 19 is opened to pressurize the gas, and the gas is injected into the well again through the pipelines m and g to participate in the repeated circulation.

The first-level measure is to open the dosing device 9 and the injection pump 37 thereof, open the valve 33 and inject the relevant treatment agents such as the desulfurizing agent and the like into the liquid inlet pipeline d of the third-level separation system 5 through the pipeline 9c, and the direct injection of the agents into the pipeline has the advantage that the agents can be better mixed with the drilling fluid and react. If the gas is not completely treated, valve 27 is opened again to inject the chemical into liquid inlet line c of second stage separation system 4 via line 9 b. By analogy, when dosing is required, valve 26 is opened to inject the agent via line 9a into inlet manifold b of primary separator 3. It should be noted that the infusion pressure of the medication infusion pump 37 should be higher than the fluid pressure in line b. Each injection line is provided with a one- way valve 25, 28, 32.
The addition of excessive amount of the medicament has certain influence on the performance of the drilling fluid material. A second-stage measure can be taken, namely, firstly, the valve 35 is opened to communicate with a branch pipeline channel o on a liquid discharge pipeline u of the third-stage separation system 5, and the drilling fluid which is not separated completely is reinjected into the third-stage separation system 5 again to be subjected to circulating separation again; if the drilling fluid is not separated completely, the valve 31 is opened to communicate with the branch channel p of the drainage pipeline d of the second-stage separation system 4, and the drilling fluid separated by the second-stage separation system 4 is injected back into the system for circulating separation again. Check valves 29 and 34 are provided in the bypass return lines o and p, respectively, to prevent backflow.
If the amount of gas returned from the formation is too great and all separation equipment cannot fully handle it and the circulation of drilling fluid cannot be stopped, a third level of action may be taken, namely opening valves 40, 44 and closing valves 35, 41, 42, 43. And directly injecting the drilling fluid still containing gas after the treatment of the ground three-stage separation system into the well through pipelines v, q and f by a mud pump 12 for circulating treatment, thereby completing three-stage prevention and control measures for gas treatment.
In the process of tripping, the operations such as connecting a single pipe and the like can be carried out only by relieving the pressure of the stand pipe, and in the drilling fluid closed circulation treatment system, the valves 38 and 47 can be opened, and the pressure of the stand pipe can be discharged into the third-stage separation system 5 through pipelines r and t. Valve 45 can also be opened to vent directly into second stage separation system 4 via lines r, s if the pressure differential between the riser and the separation system is excessive. The pipelines s, t are provided with check valves 46, 48.
