Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to well drilling operations and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for testing lost circulation materials (LCMs) in a permeability plugging apparatus (PPA).
  • LCMs lost circulation materials
  • PPA permeability plugging apparatus
  • Subterranean drilling operations typically utilize drilling fluids to provide hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering into the well bore, to keep the drill bit cool and clean during drilling, to carry out drill cuttings, and to suspend the drill cuttings while drilling is paused and when the drilling assembly is brought in and out of the borehole.
  • drilling fluids When drilling into certain formation types, some of the drilling fluid may seep into and become trapped in the formation. This is particularly problematic in vugular formations, which include numerous cavities, known as vugs. If enough drilling fluid is lost to the formation, additional drilling fluid must be introduced into the borehole to maintain drilling efficiency. This can become expensive if large amounts of the drilling fluid are lost.
  • LCMs may be added to the drilling fluid.
  • the LCMs typically are typically fibrous (e.g., cedar bark, shredded cane stalks, mineral fiber and hair), flaky (e.g., mica flakes and pieces of plastic or cellophane sheeting) or granular (e.g., ground and sized limestone or marble, wood, nut hulls, Formica, corncobs and cotton hulls) materials.
  • LCMs may include reactive chemicals which set and harden within the vugs. The LCMs are intended to plug the vugs, preventing the vugs from capturing the fluid portions of the drilling fluid. Unfortunately, testing the effectiveness of LCMs can be problematic.
  • testing apparatuses which include permeability plugging apparatuses (PPAs) and high-temperature, high-pressure systems (HTHPs), typically cannot simulate large vugs due to apparatus limitations that cause them to become clogged before the effectiveness of the LCM material can be determined. Additionally, modifications to the testing apparatuses can be dangerous given the high temperatures and pressures that are required as part of the testing procedures.
  • PPAs permeability plugging apparatuses
  • HTHPs high-temperature, high-pressure systems
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an example PPA cell.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates an example apparatus according to aspects of the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a cross-section of an example apparatus according to aspects of the present disclosure.
  • the present disclosure relates generally to well drilling operations and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for testing LCMs in a PPA.
  • an apparatus for testing LCMs within a PPA may include a PPA cell cap and an elongated LCM receiver. At least one tubular member may provide fluid communication between the PPA cell cap and the elongated LCM receiver. The at least one tubular member may be sized to accommodate large particulate LCM testing within the PPA. As will be discussed below, large particulate LCM testing within the PPA may include testing particulates that are designed or intended to plug vugs or slots within a PPA cell with a width of greater than or equal to one millimeter.
  • the at least one tubular member may have a bore larger than the bore of typical PPA equipment, so as to accommodate the large particulate LCMs without becoming clogged.
  • the apparatus may also include a backpressure inlet through the elongated LCM receiver. As will also be discussed below, providing back pressure within the LCM receiver may extend the temperature and pressure ranges under which the large particulate LCMs may be tested.
  • FIG. 1 shows an example PPA cell 100 .
  • the PPA cell 100 may include a PPA cell body 101 and a PPA cell cap 103 coupled to the PPA cell body 101 via a threaded engagement 109 .
  • a slotted disc 102 may be placed within the PPA cell body 101 and held in place by the PPA cell cap 103 .
  • the slotted disc 102 may be in fluid communication with the exterior of the PPA cell 100 through a hole 107 in the PPA cell cap 103 .
  • fluids containing LCM materials may be placed in chamber 104 .
  • a floating piston 105 may be disposed within the chamber 104 , and act as a barrier between the LCM fluids and the port 106 in the bottom of the PPA cell body 101 .
  • O-ring 111 may be disposed within a groove on an outer portion of the piston 105 , sealing the portion of the chamber 104 above the piston 105 from the portion of the chamber 104 below the piston 105 .
  • a pressurization mechanism may be connected with the PPA cell 100 via the port 106 and may pressurize the portion of the chamber 104 opposite the LCM fluids. This pressurization may force the piston 105 upwards, causing the LCM fluids to travel through slots 108 in the slotted disc 102 .
  • O-rings 112 and 113 may ensure that the LCM fluid flows through the slotted disc 102 and the hole 107 .
  • the width of the slots 110 may be less than one millimeter. In such instances, the LCM fluids may travel though the slots and out the hole 107 until the slots 110 become “plugged”, thereby allowing the effectiveness of the LCM fluids to be determined.
  • the width of the slots 108 is increased—for example, to one millimeter or greater—the size of the particulates in the LCM fluid must also be increased.
  • the large particulates such as, to one millimeter or greater—in the LCM fluid typically causes the hole 107 to clog before the slots 108 can become “plugged”, preventing the effectiveness of the large particulate LCM fluid from being determined. Additionally, modifications to the existing PPA equipment are difficult, as changes to the size of the hole or the bore of corresponding tubes can decrease the temperature or pressure range under which the large particulate LCM fluid may be tested.
  • FIG. 2 shows an example apparatus 200 for testing large particulate LCMs within a PPA, according to aspects of the present disclosure.
  • the apparatus 200 may comprise a PPA cell cap 202 and an elongated LCM receiver 210 .
  • the PPA cell cap 202 may be a typical PPA cell cap modified to accommodate a larger bore opening than in a typical PPA cell cap.
  • At least one tubular member 204 may provide fluid communication between the PPA cell cap 202 and the elongated LCM receiver 210 .
  • the at least one tubular member 204 may be sized to accommodate large particulate LCM testing within the PPA.
  • the apparatus 200 may include a backpressure inlet 218 through the elongated LCM receiver 210 .
  • the at least one tubular member 204 may be comprised of multiple tubular members that define a substantially constant internal bore.
  • the at least one tubular member 204 includes nipples 206 and 222 and valve 208 .
  • the at least one tubular member 204 may be coupled via threaded connections to both the PPA cell cap 202 and the elongated LCM receiver 210 .

  • the valve 208 may be positioned between and coupled to both nipple 206 and nipple 222 via threaded engagement.
  • Other coupling types are possible, however, as would be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in view of this disclosure.
  • the elongated LCM receiver 210 may comprise a first end cap 214 , a second end cap 212 , and a cylindrical receiver body 216 .
  • the first end cap 214 and the second end cap 212 may be coupled to the cylindrical receiver body 216 via a threaded connection.

  • a backpressure may be introduced into the elongated LCM receiver 210 via the backpressure inlet 218 .
  • introducing a back pressure may increase the temperature range under which the LCM material may be tested.
  • a test valve 220 may be coupled to the elongated LCM receiver 210 .
  • LCM fluids that have passed through the PPA cell cap 202 and the at least one tubular member 204 may be received within the elongated LCM receiver 210 .
  • the test valve 220 may be used to extract the LCM fluids within the elongated LCM receiver 210 for testing purposes. For example, the volume of the fluid that passes through the slotted disc 102 may measured with respect to time by periodically emptying the fluid from the receiver and measuring its volume.
  • the elongated LCM receiver 210 may include internal structures, such as screens and deflectors, to reduce the likelihood that the test valve 220 will become clogged by the particulates in the LCM fluid.

  • a test valve (not shown) may be coupled to the elongated LCM receiver 310 and provide fluid communication with the elongated LCM receiver 310 through a fluid communication pathway.
  • the fluid communication pathway may be at least partially disposed within the second end cap 312 , and include chamber 356 .
  • fluid may pass from chamber 356 through a port (not shown) to the test valve.
  • a screen 394 may be positioned proximate to the fluid pathway. The screen may be secured in place via a retainer 358 such that the screen 394 does not move axially within the elongated LCM receiver 310 .
