Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of stimulating a drilled well and for subsequent production of oil or gas from the formation, wherein acid or the like aggressive or reactive liquid is supplied to decompose material deposited on the wall of the well bore by use of a tubing arranged within the well bore while forming a space between the tubing and the well bore surface, the supplied liquid being discharged into said space through openings configured in the wall of the tubing in the longitudinal expanse of the tubing for influencing the material on the surface of the well bore, and wherein the well bore is first of all established, a first portion of the well bore thus formed being provided with a reservoir liner for the production of oil or gas, and where the tubing is then introduced into the well bore for extending at least into a second portion of the well bore to the profoundly situated end of the well bore.
- the invention also relates to a drilled well with apparatus for exercising the method.
- the journal 'Oilfield Review', Vol 2, No 3, teaches how, before the production of oil and gas can be initiated, it is necessary to stimulate a well bore by pumping down acid that decomposes the compacted layer of drilling mud on the wall of the well bore and a part of the formation.
- the acid is conveyed into the well bore by means of a supply pipe with a nozzle head that is, while acid is being pumped down, withdrawn slowly from the bottom of the well bore.
- a production tubing is inserted into the well bore, and the production can be initiated.
- the described nozzle head is expensive and the process is labour-intensive and delays the time of onset of production.
- US patent no. 6 047 773 discloses a method as disclosed in the introductory part of claim 1.
- the invention aims to remedy the problems and limitations that are associated with the conventional methods of stimulating a drilled well and subsequently producing oil or gas from the formation.
- production of oil or gas from areas that are located far away from the well head via one and the same drilled well can take place with considerable process economies. This is obtained as featured in the characterising part of claim 1 whereby the tubing is left behind following finished stimulation and where oil and/or gas is produced via the tubing.
- Preferably production is carried out via a production tubing inserted into the reservoir liner.
- the openings can preferably be arranged in such a manner that substantially the same amount of the liquid is discharged per length unit of the tubing through the openings.
- the variation in the discharged amount of liquid per longitudinal unit preferably constitutes maximally 10 percent.
- the openings in the tubing can, in accordance with claim 7, be formed in the wall of the tubing - either prior to or after mounting of the tubing in accordance with a predetermined pattern that yields a desired discharge of the liquid.
- the invention also relates to a drilled oil or gas well with the described tubing arranged in extension of a reservoir liner through which oil or gas is produced and with a space between the tubing and the well bore.
- Figure 1 shows an example of how to exercise the invention in connection with a conventional drilled oil or gas production well that extends, at its end, horizontally into an oil- or gas-containing reservoir 1.
- the well bore 50 as such is established by drilling with bore heads having decreasing operation diameter. Generally the drilling process gives rise to the formation of a compacted layer of drilling mud on the wall or the surface of the well bore 50.
- a liner 15 is introduced that is subsequently provided with an enclosing cement shell that is cast in the space between the outside of the liner 15 and the wall of the well bore 50.
- the cement shell serves ia to brace the well bore.
- a subsequent liner 20 is introduced whose outer diameter corresponds approximately to said smaller diameter.
- Such next liner 20 extends from the surface 3 and to a depth of eg 1219.2 m (4000 feet).
- cement is pumped down that forms a shell between the liner 20 on the one side and the wall of the well bore 50 and the liner 15, respectively, on the other side.
- a so-called reservoir liner 40 is introduced that has a typical diameter of 15.24 cm (7"), cement being again pumped down to form a shell between the outside of the reservoir liner 40 and the wall of the well bore 50 in the reservoir 1.
- the reservoir liner 40 has a typical production length L of 2438.4 m (8000 feet), over which length oil or gas is produced from the reservoir 1.
- the advancement as such of oil or gas from the reservoir 1 to the surface 3 is accomplished via a production tubing 60 that is conveyed down through the reservoir liner 40 and onwards to the end 55 of the well bore 50.
- a production tubing 60 Prior to introduction of the production tubing 60, the reservoir liner 40 and its enclosing cement shell must be perforated locally to create passages between the reservoir 1 and the production tubing 60.
- fracturing 12 is often performed, or a so-called acid-matrix treatment, of the formation 1 opposite the perforations formed in the reservoir liner 40 to increase the discharge of oil or gas from the reservoir 1.
- the production tubing 60 carries a number of external peripheral gaskets 66 and has openable gates 62 mounted in the wall of the production tubing 60.
- the production length L is typically delimited by the maximal distance with which the production tubing lends itself for being introduced into the reservoir lining 40.
- the friction between the inside of the reservoir liner 40 and the outside of the production tubing 60 with the gaskets 66 thus sets an upper limit to how far into a horizontal well bore it is possible to introduce the production tubing 60.
- Figure 2 shows the present invention used in conjunction with a conventional drilled well as shown in Figure 1.
- the well bore 50 has an end area S that extends within the reservoir 1 past the end 42 of the reservoir liner 40, ie further to the right in Figure 1.
- the well bore 50 is considerably longer than the possible depth of introduction of the production tubing 60.
- the well bore 50 can also have a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the reservoir liner 40, eg a diameter of 12.7 cm (5").
- the end area S can have an expanse of eg up to 3048 m (10,000 feet).
- the reservoir tubing 40 is first introduced in the desired depth and then the reservoir liner 40 is provided with an enclosing cement shell 45. Then drilling is continued to provide the end area S of the well bore 50.
- the end area S can optionally be provided with a not shown thin-walled lining, known within the trade as a "slotted liner", and having a large number of evenly distributed, through-going openings.
- a slotted liner is shown in the above-referenced article and will, in the majority of cases, give rise to a large area of the surface 51 of the well bore 50 continuing to be exposed.
- a stimulation tubing 70 is introduced into the end area S by means of conventional introduction equipment, and the production tubing 60 is introduced into the reservoir liner 40.
- the tubing 70 that has a first open end 73 - to which acid is supplied via the production tubing 60 and which is preferably closed at the opposite end 74 - is located to extend approximately from the end 42 of the reservoir liner to the end 55 of the well bore 50.
- the first end 73 of the tubing 70 is preferably attached to the inner wall of the reservoir liner 40 by means of a conventional gasket 48.
- the tubing 70 has a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the well bore 50, whereby - between the outer surface of the tubing 70 and the exposed surface of the well bore 50 or a slotted liner, if any - a space 57 will appear.
- Figure 2 features an ideal state in which the space 57 is annular.
- the tubing 70 will have a slightly curved forward course interiorly of the area S and will abut on the surface of the well bore 50 along a modest part of the periphery of the tubing 70.
- the stimulation tubing 70 is, in the embodiment shown, provided with a number of pre-formed openings 72 that form flow passages between the interior of the tubing 70 and the annular space 57.
- the openings 72 have a shape and location that comply with particular, pre-defined specifications, as will be described in further detail below.
- Figure 2 also shows a compacted layer of drilling mud that must, as described above, be decomposed by supply of acid to the end area S before production of oil or gas can be initiated.
- the invention it is sought to supply the acid to this area S without use of a movable nozzle head that is conveyed upwards from the end 55 of the well bore, as the fixed tubing 70 is used to advance the acid.
- Use of the described stimulation tubing 70 makes it possible, to a wide extent, to ensure homogenous decomposition of the drilling mud 51 and the most proximate part of the formation in the entire end area S.
- the invention is based on the discovery that in order to be able to decompose all of the drilling mud 51 and the most proximate portion of the formation in the entire end area S and thus ensure that production is possible from the entire formation, acid should be supplied to the entire length of the end area S on the same time.
- acid should be supplied to the entire length of the end area S on the same time.
- Such localised decomposition of the drilling mud 51 eg exclusively in the shown area S2, may entail a violent, localised outflow of the acid to the reservoir 1.
- acid is merely supplied to a limited portion of the en area S, eg at the area 43, it may thus occur that the acid will only to a limited extent or at a very low concentration or not at all reach the remaining portions of the end
- openings can be omitted in certain parts of the tubing 70, including areas of the formation in which it is possible to an insignificant degree only to produce oil or gas.
- the openings 72 are to be positioned and configured, the pressure conditions within the tubing 70 are taken into account. In this manner it is possible, for instance, without further ado to ensure that the outflow of acid from the tubing 70 per length unit of the tubing 70 is the same - or approximately the same - within a tolerance of preferably maximally about 10%.
- Such outflow to the space 57 can be achieved by use of openings 72 having the same diameter but being located at a decreasing distance from each other in a direction towards the end 74, as is shown in Figure 2.
- the openings 72 need merely be arranged or configured such that - with due regard to parameters such as inflow pressure at the end 73 of the tubing 70, pressure loss along the tubing 70, pressure variations within the space 57, and the supplied amount of acid - the desired outflow per length unit of the tubing 70 is provided, eg an outflow that is - to the widest extent possible - the same along the tubing 70.
- a desired treatment of the wall of the well bore 50 is ensured.
- tubing 70 will - in accordance with the invention - usually be composed of a number of short tubular members.
- tubing 70 in connection with the production as such of oil or gas from the reservoir 1.
- the tubing 70 is preferably left behind in the end area S of the well bore 50 following finished acid stimulation, and thereby the tubing serves as a production tubing, oil flowing from the annular space 57 and into the tubing 70 via the openings 72.
- the tubing 70 can, if desired, be connected directly to the production tubing 60 in the area 43 that may optionally also serve to supply the acid to the tubing 70.
- tubing 70 following the acid stimulation operation, but in principle it would involve a redundant working procedure. It should be noted that, if desired, the tubing can be dimensioned with such strength that it is an option that it can stabilise the well bore 50 in the event that the formation is weakened during the oil production. It is also obvious that for the manufacture of the tubing 70 a material should be selected that is resistant to the acid used.
- the invention is not limited to the described exemplary embodiment, but may also be useful for the stimulation of a drilled well intended for the injection of water or corresponding liquid into the formation with a view to displacing oil or gas in a direction towards a drilled production well.
