Background
The natural gas hydrate is a crystalline compound which stably exists under the conditions of low temperature and high pressure, has extremely rich resource amount, is mainly distributed in land permafrost zones and submarine sediments at the periphery of land margins, and has the marine natural gas hydrate resource amount which is about more than 100 times of that of the land permafrost zones. The marine natural gas hydrate layer is in a low-temperature and high-pressure environment on the seabed, and a stable occurrence state is kept. With the development of the ocean oil and gas drilling technology, the number of ocean drilling wells is increasing, and in the drilling process of the ocean drilling wells, the drilling fluids sequentially drill to a stratum, a natural gas hydrate layer and the stratum, wherein the drilling fluids are injected into a shaft from a well opening, namely a sea level, in a drill string, flow over a mud line, namely a well section where seawater is located, flow to the position of the mud line, namely a seabed, flow out of the annular space from a drill bit through the well section below the mud line, namely the well section where the stratum is located, and then flow back to the well opening through the annular space, and flow out of the shaft from the well opening.
However, when the marine drilling well meets the natural gas hydrate layer, the drill bit is positioned in the marine natural gas hydrate layer, and the temperature of the drilling fluid flowing in the shaft is high, so that the original temperature field of the marine natural gas hydrate layer can be changed, the stable state of the hydrate is further influenced, the decomposition and gasification of the hydrate are caused, and the safety of the drilling well construction is seriously threatened. On the other hand, in the process of drilling the ocean natural gas hydrate layer, hydrate drilling cutting particles entering the annular space of the well barrel are different from rock debris particles in the conventional ocean drilling, and are decomposed due to the fact that the temperature of the well barrel rises and the pressure of the well barrel is reduced in the process of upward return of the annular drilling fluid, the decomposition and heat absorption effects of the hydrate drilling cutting particles further influence the temperature change of the well barrel, the temperature field of the whole well barrel is changed accordingly, and the rheological property of the drilling fluid and the flowing parameter change of the well barrel are further influenced. Therefore, accurate calculation of the temperature field of the drilling shaft of the marine natural gas hydrate layer has important guiding significance for judging the stable state of the marine natural gas hydrate layer, the rheological property of drilling fluid and calculating the flow parameters of the drilling shaft so as to ensure the construction safety of marine drilling.
At present, the temperature field of a drilling shaft of an ocean natural gas hydrate layer is researched less at home and abroad, the existing research mainly aims at the temperature field of the drilling shaft in the ocean drilling process, and the temperature field of the drilling shaft, which is generated when hydrate drilling cutting particles in annular space return upwards along with drilling fluid and are decomposed when drilling on the ocean natural gas hydrate layer, is not researched. The patent CN103226641A discloses a deepwater gas-liquid two-phase flow circulation temperature and pressure coupling calculation method, which comprises the steps of calculating the node temperature and pressure data of drilling fluid in a drill string and drilling fluid in an annulus in an iterative manner according to the sequence of the drilling fluid in the drill string and the drilling fluid in the annulus, and finally obtaining a simulation result of the temperature and pressure of a wellbore of the deepwater gas-liquid two-phase flow, wherein the method can be applied to the calculation of the temperature field of the wellbore in the process of marine drilling, but cannot accurately reflect the temperature field of the wellbore in the process of drilling the; patent CN102943620A discloses a pressure-controlled drilling method based on drilling annulus wellbore multiphase flow calculation, in the solution of wellbore annulus multiphase flow control equation set, the required wellbore temperature is reflected, but the specific solution method is not proposed, and cannot be directly applied to the calculation of wellbore temperature field in the drilling of marine natural gas hydrate layer. Therefore, a shaft temperature field calculation method for drilling a sea natural gas hydrate layer is urgently needed, the influence of decomposition of hydrate drilling cutting particles in an annular space is considered when the sea natural gas hydrate layer is drilled, and theoretical basis is provided for judging the stable state of the sea natural gas hydrate layer, the rheological property of drilling fluid and calculating shaft flow parameters.
