Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drilling method, in particular a method for fastening the productive layer within a hole.
  • this invention can be used to protect the productive layers from contamination in the wellbore liquid and cement slurry during wellbore fastening.
  • the liquid medium i.e. drilling fluids and cement slurries
  • the liquid medium i.e. drilling fluids and cement slurries
  • a method for fastening the productive layer within a borehole is already known, in which the productive layer is opened up, a production pipe tour is installed, this is cemented above the productive layer and the non-cemented section of this pipe tour is perforated in the area of the productive layer, i.e. the shift is opened up for the second time (Ju.V. Vadetsky "Production of oil and gas wells", 1923, publ. "Nedra” (Moscow), pp. 346 to 348).
  • a major disadvantage of this method is that it does not guarantee a reliable separation of the productive layer from the deeper layers because the pipe route is cemented above the productive layer.
  • Another disadvantage is that the known method proves to be unsuitable if the productive layers are inclined to fall, because the annular space between the production tube tour and the productive layer is filled with the fallen rock, which reduces the filtration of the product from the Layer more difficult.
  • a fundamental disadvantage of this method is the increase in the thickness of the insulating layer, which is formed by the wall of the impermeable casing, the production tube tour and the cement ring therebetween, which makes the repeated layer digestion more difficult and the effectiveness of product filtration from the layer into the bore is impaired .
  • the use of a production tube tour with a smaller diameter leads to a reduction in the filtration area of the layer, which results in a reduction in the production rate of the bore.
  • this method requires additional installation and removal work for the attachment of the impermeable cover, which is associated with a considerable expenditure of time and materials and a higher work capacity.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method for fastening the productive layer within a bore, which makes it possible to increase the filtration area while reducing the thickness of the insulating layer separating the productive layer from other layers.
  • the task is solved in that at egg. Nem process for fastening the productive layer within a well, in which the productive layer is disrupted, covered with a shell impermeable to the liquid medium in the form of profile tubes, which are expanded when they are inserted by generating a pressure drop in them, and the production tube tour is installed and cemented and the productive layer on again is closed, according to the invention, before the insertion of the impermeable casing, the section of the bore lying in the region of the productive layer is expanded and the installation of the production tube tour is stopped after its introduction into the upper part of the impermeable casing.
  • the invention enables the filtration area and the conveying rate of the layer to increase.
  • the installation and insertion of the impermeable casing in the area of the productive layer is carried out together with the production pipe tour.
  • the section of the bore lying in the region of the productive layer is expanded by a factor of 1.5 to 2 of the outside diameter of the production tube tour.
  • An increase in the diameter of the bore in the area of the productive layer less than 1.5 times the diameter of the production tube tour is not expedient; because the area of the liquid filtration from the layer increases only insignificantly, while an expansion more than twice the diameter of the production tube tour is limited by the physical behavior of the impermeable casing made of profile tubes, which is due to the limit values of their expansion.
  • the procedure for fastening the productive layer within the bore is implemented as follows.
  • the drill string is then removed together with the chisel and the reamer, and the production tube tour is inserted into the bore, which is provided with a device for cementing it and an impermeable casing in the form of profile tubes which are attached to the lower end thereof.
  • the entry of this pipe tour is stopped as soon as the impermeable envelope comes to stand opposite the expanded area of the productive layer.
  • the impermeable casing is expanded by pressing the liquid into the interior of the pipes until the casing lies tight against the wall of the enlarged area of the productive layer, after which the production pipe tour is cemented and the productive layer is perforated by the impermeable casing according to the known technology is unlocked again.
  • the method is carried out with the aid of a device which has a drill string 1 (FIG. 1) with a chisel 2 has at its lower end and an after-clearer 3 arranged above with extendable elements 4.
  • Another group of equipment for carrying out the method (Fig. 2 and 3) contains a production pipe tour 5, with the lower end of which a device 6 is connected for its cementation, which serves as a continuation.
  • the device 6 has a transition 7 with openings 8 and 9 made in its wall, in the interior of which a bush 10 with a side opening 11 and a seat 12 is accommodated, which is secured against axial displacement by a pin 13.
  • an impermeable sheath 14 is connected, which ends with a shoe 15 with a seat 16 and ball valve 17.
  • a ball 18 (FIG. 3) is provided, which is accommodated in the seat 12 of the sleeve 10.
  • the additional sealing of the space behind the impermeable casing 14 can be achieved with the aid of a sealing paste (not shown) which is introduced into the recesses of the profile tubes of the impermeable casing 14.
  • the pressure is released and the ball 18 (FIG. 3) is thrown into the production tube tour 5, which ball descends into the seat 12 of the bushing 10 arranged in the passage 7 of the transition 7.
  • the liquid pressure is increased again, under the influence of which the pins 13 are cut, which secure the sleeve 10 against the axial displacements, and the sleeve 10 moves into the lower end position (FIG. 3).
  • the liquid is displaced from the cavity 21 through the opening 9 into the annular space, so that the lateral openings 11 and 8 of the sleeve 10 and the transition 7 coincide with each other.
  • the production tube tour 5 is then cemented using the conventional method, for which purpose cementing units (not shown) are used.
  • the layer is applied in accordance with known processes such as e.g.
  • the perforation is opened again and the product is removed from the layer 19 through the holes 22 (FIG. 4) of the perforation.
  • the invention can be used to protect the productive layers from contamination with the liquid in the well and the cement slurry during the fastening of the well and to increase the oil release of the layers.

Abstract

Le procédé décrit consiste à découvrir la veine de production (19) et à agrandir le trou de sonde dans une zone (20) de la veine de production (19). Puis cette dernière est obturée par une enveloppe (14) imperméable aux milieux liquides et constituée de tubes profilés élargis au cours de leur pose par la création d'une pression à l'intérieur. Ensuite, la colonne (5) de tubes d'exploitation est abaissée dans le puits et cimentée, avec réouverture subséquente de la veine (19). La descente de la colonne (5) de tubes d'exploitation est stoppée après son introduction dans la partie supérieure de l'enveloppe imperméable (14).
