Description

Unconventional collaborative well killing device and method for high-pressure gas well
Technical Field
The invention relates to an unconventional collaborative well control device and method for a high-pressure gas well, and belongs to the technical field of well drilling and well control.
Background
The conventional well control method is along with the development of national economy, and the requirements of China on oil and gas resources are growing increasingly. Oil and gas resource exploration is gradually trending towards deep and ultra-deep fields. The oil-gas field in the areas of the Tarim basin, the quaiger basin, the Sichuan basin and the like in China has the characteristics of high yield, high pressure, even ultrahigh pressure and the like, once gas invasion occurs in the drilling process, the risk of blowout is easily caused, and the serious well control problem is faced.
The safety well control of the high-pressure gas well is a key technical problem which needs to be solved urgently in the exploration and development processes of most northwest and southwest oil and gas fields in China at present. The method can be mainly divided into a conventional well control method and an unconventional well control method. Conventional well killing methods include engineering, driller, etc., and unconventional well killing methods include displacement, press-back, etc. For the oil-gas well with low common stratum pressure, the conventional well-killing methods such as engineering and driller law can meet the well-killing requirement and recover normal drilling. For a high-pressure gas well, the volume and pressure of an invaded well bore annulus are high, and the conventional well control method can cause the pressure at a well head or a casing shoe to exceed a pressure bearing range, so that the problem of difficult and serious kick or lost circulation is caused, and the method is difficult to be applied. Under the condition that more gas invades a well bore, the difference between wellhead pressure and stratum pressure is small, the problems are also faced by a pressure return method in an unconventional well control method, and the problems of low efficiency, long time, complex operation and the like of a replacement method are solved. In the high-pressure gas well drilling process, once the well is not successfully controlled in time, immeasurable economic loss can be caused, and even casualties are caused, and the deep research is needed to be developed.
In summary, the existing well control method has certain defects for high-pressure gas well control. At present, a safe and efficient well killing method suitable for a high-pressure gas well is not available, and the method is also a key difficulty for restricting safe and efficient drilling of the high-pressure gas well. For this purpose, the present invention is proposed.

Example 2
The unconventional collaborative well killing method for the high-pressure gas well is realized by the device, and comprises the following steps:
(1) Calculation of injection quantity of well control fluid
According to the well-killing calculation formula of displacement method, the injection parameters of well-killing density and injection flow required by the displacement method can be calculated, so that the pollution-free well-killing liquid with less damage to reservoir can be quickly configured, and preparation is made for quickly carrying out displacement method well-killing, if the well-killing liquid is not prepared on site, the drilling liquid for drilling can be selected to be injected first, so that the initial displacement method well-killing operation can be carried out quickly.
In the process of well killing by a displacement method, in order to maintain the balance of bottom hole pressure, the gravity difference generated by the well killing liquid injected into the bottom hole from a drill rod and the discharged gas in the annulus is equal to the reduction value of the annulus pressure, and the formula is as follows:
ρzghz-g(ρg0hg0-ρghg)=pa0-pa (1)
Wherein ρ z is the density of the well control fluid injected from the drill pipe to the bottom of the well, kg/m 3, g is the gravity acceleration, g/cm 3;hz is the height of the well control fluid in the well bore, m, ρ g0 is the initial time gas density, kg/m 3g is the t time gas density, kg/m 3;hg0 is the initial time gas column height in the well bore, m, h g is the t time gas column height in the well bore, m, p a0 is the initial time casing pressure, MPa, p a is the t time casing pressure, MPa, and casing pressure refers to the casing annular pressure at the well mouth (i.e. the pressure at the uppermost end in the annular space);
According to the conservation of matter, the volume of injected kill fluid is equal to the sum of the volume of exhaust gas and the volume of gas reduced by the pressure change, as shown in the following formula:
Wherein Q z is injection flow rate of the well killing liquid by a displacement method, L/s, Q g is gas discharge capacity, L/s, C g is gas compression coefficient, and MPa -1;Vg is gas volume in the annular space of the shaft.
The density of the injected well control fluid is affected by the pore pressure of the stratum, and in order to meet the well control requirement, the density ρ z of the injected well control fluid is calculated by the following formula:
pk/(gh)<ρz<(pp-pf)/(gh) (3)
Wherein p k is the formation pore pressure, MPa, p p is the formation fracture pressure, MPa, p f is the friction during the flowing of annulus well control fluid, MPa, and h is the vertical depth of the well, m.
(2) Injection of well killing fluid from drill pipe to displace gas in annulus
According to the injection flow rate of the well control fluid obtained in the step (1), opening a valve A14, injecting the well control fluid into a drill rod 6 of a well control fluid injection pump set, injecting the well control fluid 22 into an annulus 5 from the drill rod 6, and sequentially opening a valve C16 and a valve D17 to discharge high-pressure gas 23 in the annulus (the discharged gas is combusted at the outlet of a branch pipeline in the field in general), so that the high-pressure gas in the annulus is replaced by injecting the well control fluid;
The well killing liquid in the injection ring keeps the bottom hole pressure stable together with the ring air gravity and the wellhead back pressure, and prevents stratum fluid from continuously invading the well shaft. Two valves C16 and D17 are designed on an exhaust pipe line of a wellhead, so that multistage throttling is realized, on one hand, the change of back pressure of the wellhead can be controlled more accurately, and on the other hand, the throttling and cooling effect generated by wellhead exhaust can be reduced, and the risk of icing or blocking the pipeline by hydrate is reduced. In addition, in order to avoid the problem of wellhead throttling blockage, heating devices can be additionally arranged near the valve C16 and the valve D17.

In the process, the speed and the pressure of the well control liquid injected from the drill rod and the flow and pressure data of the gas discharged from the annulus are monitored in real time, the dynamic change of the injection displacement of the well control liquid is calculated in real time according to the monitored data, the opening of the valve A, C, D and the power of the well control liquid injection pump set are adjusted in real time according to the dynamic change, the replacement efficiency of high-pressure gas in the annulus is improved, and precious time is striven for the in-situ well control operation which is in charge of the second.
According to the monitored flow and pressure data of the gas discharged from the annulus, the injection rate of the well killing liquid is calculated in real time and is compared with the monitored injection rate of the well killing liquid, so that the injection rate of the well killing liquid is regulated up, regulated down or kept unchanged, the injection rate is influenced by the opening of the valve A and the power of the pump group of the well killing liquid injection pump and is in positive correlation, and then the opening of the valve A and the power of the pump group of the well killing liquid injection pump are regulated according to the requirement of the injection rate of the well killing liquid. In addition, if the flow rate of the exhaust gas from the annulus is too low, the opening of the valve C, D needs to be appropriately increased, which depends on the situation.
(3) Injection of well killing hydraulic return surplus gas from annulus
According to the pressure and flow data monitored by the pressure sensor A10, the pressure sensor B11, the flow meter A12 and the flow meter B13 in real time, after the pressure-return method well killing condition is met (namely, the power of the ground well killing injection pump equipment can carry out the pressure-return method well killing operation), closing the valve A14 to stop injecting the well killing liquid 22 from the drill pipe 6, opening the valve B15, closing the valve C16 and the valve D17, and in turn, pressing the residual gas in the annulus back to the stratum by injecting the well killing liquid into the annulus, and simultaneously, monitoring the flow and the pressure data of the well killing liquid in real time in the process of pressing back, and adjusting the power of the well killing liquid injection pump set in real time;
In the process of pressing gas in an annulus into a stratum, the smooth pressing back operation can be realized only by enabling the velocity of the underground flow of the well killing liquid to be larger than the gas rising velocity, the requirement is put forward on the displacement of the well killing liquid, and according to the gas-liquid two-phase flow theory, the gas rising velocity adopts a gas rising velocity calculation formula in slug flow:
Wherein v s is the slip rise speed of the gas in the annulus in the well control fluid, m/s, g is the gravity acceleration, m/s 2L is the density of the well control fluid, kg/m 3, D is the hydraulic diameter, m and C is the dimensionless constant, and can be calculated by a Barnea model:
C=0.1725[(π+1)+K(π-1)]0.5 (5)
Wherein D to is the outer diameter of the drill rod, m, D ci is the inner diameter of the sleeve, m;
According to the calculated v s, the displacement of the well control fluid by the pressing back method can be determined, the displacement of the well control fluid is in direct proportion to the slip rising speed v s of the gas in the well control fluid, and the displacement is calculated by the following formula:
Qa>vsA (7)
Wherein A is the annular cross-sectional area, m 2;Qa is the displacement of well control fluid, and m 3/s.
Meanwhile, flow rate of the well control fluid and wellhead casing pressure change data are monitored in real time in the pressing back process, power of the well control fluid injection pump set and well control fluid injection rate are adjusted in real time, when the well control casing pressure is found to be obviously increased, the well control fluid injection rate is excessively high, at the moment, the well control fluid injection rate needs to be reduced by adjusting the power of the well control fluid injection pump set, and if the well control casing pressure is stable, the current well control fluid injection pump set power is kept unchanged. As the kill fluid is gradually injected into the annulus, the gas is gradually forced back into the formation, and the annulus casing pressure gradually decreases due to the increase in pressure of the kill fluid column. After all of the remaining gas in the annulus is pressed back into the formation, the annulus casing pressure will remain unchanged, thereby indicating successful well control.
(4) Injecting plugging material from drill pipe into stratum
During the well killing process by the push-back method, the stratum can be fractured to generate cracks, and the stratum can also be provided with cracks, so that the condition of drilling fluid leakage can occur. When well killing is successful, the drill rod is lifted to a preset plugging layer, then drilling fluid containing plugging materials is injected into the stratum to improve the bearing capacity of the stratum, and then a safe drilling pressure window is reestablished, because in the lifting process of the drill rod, the liquid level of the annulus is lowered, and the suction pressure caused by lifting of the drill rod is reduced to cause bottom hole pressure, continuous injection of the well killing fluid into the annulus is needed to keep the bottom hole pressure stable, so that the occurrence of bottom hole gas invasion is prevented, in the process, the change condition of the annular sleeve pressure is monitored in real time, the power and the injection displacement of a well killing fluid injection pump set are adjusted according to the change condition of the annular sleeve pressure, specifically, if the annular sleeve pressure is increased, the pressure of a liquid column in the annulus is reduced (namely, the liquid level is lowered), the injection displacement of the well killing fluid is required to be increased by improving the power of the well killing fluid injection pump set, and the well killing fluid is supplemented into the annulus to avoid the occurrence of gas invasion again at the bottom hole.
When the drill pipe 6 is lifted to a preset plugging layer, the valve B15 is closed, the valve A14 is opened, the drilling fluid 24 containing plugging material which is prepared in advance is injected to a target layer through the drill pipe by a well killing fluid injection pump set, and the plugging material enters the plugging layer along with the drilling fluid. The bridging effect among the plugging material particles is used for plugging the plugging cracks, so that the bearing capacity of the target stratum is improved
The safe drilling pressure window established by plugging pressure bearing can be represented by the following formula:
ΔPs=Pb-Max{Pc,Pk} (8)
Wherein DeltaP s is a safe drilling pressure window established through plugging pressure bearing, P b is stratum fracture pressure after plugging pressure bearing, P c is stratum collapse pressure, MPa, and P k is stratum pore pressure, MPa.
While the foregoing is directed to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications and adaptations can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such modifications and adaptations are intended to be comprehended within the scope of the present invention.
