Composite plugging agent and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum exploitation, and particularly relates to a plugging material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The occurrence rate of lost circulation worldwide accounts for 20% -25% of the total number of well drilling, and the economic loss of the global petroleum industry caused by lost circulation is hundreds of millions of dollars each year, so the research of plugging agents is a current hot spot. The plugging material is indispensable in the process of well drilling leakage prevention, and the success rate of well drilling leakage prevention and plugging is directly dependent on the performance of the plugging material. Therefore, the research of the plugging material has very important significance.
Well leakage exists to different degrees in the Chinese oil and gas drilling process, and is more serious particularly when a fractured stratum is drilled. Therefore, an effective well leak-proof and plugging technique must be implemented, and the basic material necessary for implementing the technique is a plugging material. The plugging material with the most widely application and lower cost at present is bridging plugging. In the conventional bridging plugging method, the plugging success rate is only 40-60% in the field implementation process, and the analysis of the cause of the plugging success rate mainly comprises the following aspects: 1. the size of the crack opening of the leakage layer is large, the particle size of the leakage stopping material is small, particularly the particle size of the hard particle material is small, and bridge plugs are difficult to form in the crack by bridging. 2. The crack opening size is small, and when bridging is plugged, the large particle material forms a door sealing phenomenon at the crack opening, so that the small particle material is prevented from entering to form a bridge plug, and the bridge plug is plugged on the surface, but in the subsequent drilling construction, the large particle material of the door sealing breaks away from the crack opening and is leaked again under the actions of drilling tool collision, liquid flow flushing, pulling and hanging, sucking and the like. Therefore, in the drilling engineering, sometimes, the plugging agent formula cannot be optimized and determined because the width of the crack and the size of the pore of the lost stratum cannot be accurately mastered, thereby increasing the uncertainty of successful construction and reducing the plugging success rate.
