Experimental device and evaluation method for simulating scouring and dissolving effects of cement slurry on salt rock
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of well cementation, in particular to an experimental device and an evaluation method for simulating the scouring and dissolving effects of cement slurry on rock salt.
Background
For the cement cementing of a gypsum rock layer, the design of a cement slurry system can not be considered as conventional cement slurry, and as the gypsum rock layer mainly comprises gypsum rock, salt rock and a shale interlayer, the influence of the dissolution of the salt layer on the performance of the cement slurry needs to be considered in the process of designing the cement slurry system, and certain knowledge needs to be provided on the dissolution amount under different conditions.
The original formation stress can be destroyed after the formation is opened by drilling, a larger stress concentration is formed near a well hole, and in the process of cementing, cement slurry generates certain shearing force to a well wall due to certain viscosity. For a hard stratum, because the cementing strength of the stratum is high, the shearing force generated on a well wall in the process of cement grouting is difficult to reach the shearing strength of rocks, so that the scouring degree of the well wall of the stratum is small. However, for a gypsum rock stratum (an easily-expandable mudstone interlayer) with a weaker cementing stratum or easily dissolved in water, if the dissolving, erosion, expansion and soaking effects of working fluids such as cement slurry and the like on the well wall of the stratum are not considered, the hole diameter is inevitably enlarged, the borehole is irregular, even the annular volume is possibly increased, and the cement slurry cannot reach the designed height; on the other hand, components which are easy to dissolve in water in the stratum enter the working fluid, and salt ions diffuse into the cement paste in the salt rock dissolving process, so that the performance of the cement paste is greatly changed, and the performance of the cement paste cannot reach the performance of the expected design, for example, NaCl is dissolved in a small amount to promote coagulation, and when NaCl is dissolved in a large amount, the coagulation is retarded, even an ultra-retardation phenomenon is caused, and impurities in the salt layer can also change the performance of the cement paste. Both phenomena can cause well cementation failure, so an experimental device and an evaluation method which can quantitatively analyze the scouring degree of cement slurry on stratum rock at different flow rates, temperatures and time and research the action mechanism of the cement slurry and the salt rock are urgently needed.
Through retrieval, the Chinese patent with application number 2015109473861 discloses a well cementation pad fluid flushing simulation device and a method, wherein the device comprises a reaction kettle body with a cylindrical structure, a rock core support used for fixing an artificial rock core is arranged in the reaction kettle body, an annular space is formed between the artificial rock core and the reaction kettle body, and a through cavity is formed in the reaction kettle body. The well cementation pad fluid flushing simulation device can simulate the flushing process of the well cementation pad fluid so as to realize effective evaluation of the annular flushing efficiency of the well cementation pad fluid.
Among the above-mentioned device, because the rock core support frame cover is established in the rock core, adopt this mode, when carrying out the more of rock core and dismantling, unusual inconvenient, no matter change rock core support or rock core, all need dismantle the two whole, this has increased staff's the amount of labour undoubtedly, in addition, when carrying out the experiment, because the length of the rock core of choosing is different, link up the chamber length in the reation kettle body and can't adjust and match the rock core length, the limitation is big, can not satisfy higher experimental requirement.
