井壁失稳是钻井过程中常常遇见的难题之一,尤其在钻遇泥页岩井段。针对河南中牟页岩气区块在山西组-太原组泥页岩钻进过程中发生井壁坍塌掉块、卡钻、井径扩大率大等复杂情况,利用MY1井钻井岩心从泥页岩类型划分、孔渗特征、微观结构、岩石力学以及地应力等方面开展井壁稳定性影响因素实验分析。通过分析可知,中牟区块泥页岩属硬脆性泥页岩,造成井壁失稳的主要因素为地层非均质性强,岩石脆性程度较高,微裂缝发育,易导致井壁机械剥落、坍塌掉块。通过合理控制钻井液密度、优化井身结构及钻井参数、研发低自由水强封堵钻井液提高井壁稳定性,在区块钻井实践中取得了较好的应用效果,基本解决了井壁失稳难题。     

温压耦合影响下科学钻探深井结晶岩层井壁稳定性分析

科学钻探深井结晶岩处在高地应力、高地层压力和高地温的“三高”环境中,自身的结构特征和物化特性会发生根本性变化,因温度变化引起的应力变化极易导致井壁失稳。本文依据温压耦合影响下坍塌压力和破裂压力计算模式,确定不同井壁温度下的安全钻井液密度窗口,通过FLAC3D开展温压耦合影响下井壁稳定数值模拟,分析在不同钻井液密度下井眼打开后不同时间的井壁周边温度和井壁稳定变化情况。结果表明：地层弹性参数对地层破裂压力的影响较大,对于花岗岩此类弹性模量较大的结晶岩,温度变化对破裂压力影响更大;井壁处附加应力受温度变化的影响程度：附加周向应力>附加径向应力>附加垂向应力;在最小主应力方向的井壁周边地层等效应力与钻井液密度呈正比关系,在最大主应力方向呈反比关系。     

Maintaining the stability of deviated and horizontal wells: Effects of mechanical,chemical and thermal phenomena on well designs

Wellbore instability, particularly in shale formations, is regarded as a major challenge in drilling operations. Many factors, such as rock properties, in-situ stresses, chemical interactions between shale and drilling fluids, and thermal effects, should be considered in well trajectory designs and drilling fluid formulations in order to mitigate wellbore instability-related problems. A comprehensive study of wellbore stability in shale formations that takes into account the three-dimensional earth stresses around the wellbore as well as chemical and thermal effects is presented in this work. The effects of borehole configuration (e.g. inclination and azimuth), rock properties (e.g. strength, Young's modulus, membrane efficiency and permeability), temperature and drilling fluid properties (e.g. mud density and chemical concentrations) on wellbore stability in shale formations have been investigated. Results from this study indicate that for low-permeability shales, chemical interactions between the shale and water-based fluids play an important role. Not only is the activity of the water important but the diffusion of ions is also a significant factor for saline fluids. The cooling of drilling fluids is found to be beneficial in preventing compressive failure. However, decreasing the mud temperature can be detrimental since it reduces the fracturing pressure of the formation, which can result in lost-circulation problems. The magnitude of thermal effects depends on shale properties, earth stresses and wellbore orientation and deviation. Conditions are identified when chemical and thermal effects play a significant role in determining the mud-weight window when designing drilling programmes for horizontal and deviated wells. The results presented in this paper will help in reducing the risks associated with wellbore instability and thereby lowering the overall non-productive times and drilling costs.     

Borehole Stability Analysis of Horizontal Drilling in Shale Gas Reservoirs

Serious wellbore instability occurs frequently during horizontal drilling in shale gas reservoirs. The conventional forecast model of in situ stresses is not suitable for wellbore stability analysis in laminated shale gas formations because of the inhomogeneous mechanical properties of shale. In this study, a new prediction method is developed to calculate the in situ stresses in shale formations. The pore pressure near the borehole is heterogeneous along both the radial and tangential directions due to the inhomogeneity in the mechanical properties and permeability. Therefore, the stress state around the wellbore will vary with time after the formation is drained. Besides, based on the experimental results, a failure criterion is verified and applied to determine the strength of Silurian shale in the Sichuan Basin, including the long-term strength of gas shale. Based on this work, horizontal well borehole stability is analyzed by the new in situ stress prediction model. Finally, the results show that the collapse pressure will be underestimated if the conventional model is used in shale gas reservoirs improperly. The collapse pressure of a horizontal well is maximum at dip angle of 45°. The critical mud weight should be increased constantly to prevent borehole collapse if the borehole is exposed for some time.

硅酸钾钻井液在页岩气水平井中的可行性研究

页岩气开发以水平井为主,由于页岩地层裂缝与层理发育,在长水平段钻井过程中极易发生垮塌等井眼稳定问题,同时还有携岩、摩阻等一系列问题;大量的研究工作表明,硅酸盐钻井液的抑制性是较为接近油基钻井液体系的,但其能否用于页岩气水平井的钻井过程中是值得探讨的。本文在对硅酸盐钻井液体系及页岩稳定分析的基础上,建立了一套硅酸钾钻井液体系,该钻井液体系除了具有良好的抑制性能以外,更具有较低的滤失量(高温高压滤失量＜6 mL),并且流变性易于控制,润滑性好,分析认为该体系能够满足页岩气水平井钻井的要求。     

横观各向同性水敏性地层斜井眼坍塌压力确定

在以泥页岩为目标储层的非常规油气藏水平井开发中, 钻遇井壁的稳定性问题突出, 一方面是由于在设计钻井液密度时简单采用各向同性介质模型和Mohr-Coulomb强度准则, 另一方面则是由于选用的钻井液性能欠佳, 难以保证建井全过程的井壁稳定。为此, 将地层视为横观各向同性介质, 采用Mogi-Coulomb强度准则判别岩石基体和层理面的稳定性, 同时考虑泥页岩水化作用对岩石力学强度参数的影响, 建立了水敏性地层井壁稳定分析模型, 分析了坍塌压力随井斜、方位、钻井液性能、钻井时间等因素的变化规律。研究结果表明:对于具有显著层理面结构的泥页岩地层, 采用横观各向同性模型比各向同性介质模型更能描述强度的各向异性;采用Mogi-Coulomb准则比Mohr-Coulomb强度准则得到的坍塌压力值与实际吻合程度更高, 在保证井壁稳定的前提下有利于降低钻井液密度, 实现钻井提速;提高钻井液封堵能力、减小泥页岩吸水扩散能力, 有利于延长坍塌周期。利用东濮、威远、焦石坝等工区多口页岩气水平井的实钻资料对本文方法进行了验证, 证实本文方法确定的钻井液密度窗口下值更能满足安全钻井需求。     

Analysis of Pore Pressure and Stress Distribution around a Wellbore Drilled in Chemically Active Elastoplastic Formations

Drilling in low-permeable reactive shale formations with water-based drilling mud presents significant challenges, particularly in high-pressure and high-temperature environments. In previous studies, several models were proposed to describe the thermodynamic behaviour of shale. Most shale formations under high pressure are expected to undergo plastic deformation. An innovative algorithm including work hardening is proposed in the framework of thermo-chemo-poroelasticity to investigate the effect of plasticity on stresses around the wellbore. For this purpose a finite-element model of coupled thermo-chemo-poro-elastoplasticity is developed. The governing equations are based on the concept of thermodynamics of irreversible processes in discontinuous systems. In order to solve the plastic problem, a single-step backward Euler algorithm containing a yield surface-correction scheme is used to integrate the plastic stress–strain relation. An initial stress method is employed to solve the non-linearity of the plastic equation. In addition, super convergent patch recovery is used to accurately evaluate the time-dependent stress tensor from nodal displacement. The results of this study reveal that thermal and chemical osmosis can significantly affect the fluid flow in low-permeable shale formations. When the salinity of drilling mud is higher than that of pore fluid, fluid is pulled out of the formation by chemical osmotic back flow. Similar results are observed when the temperature of drilling mud is lower than that of the formation fluid. It is found that linear elastic approaches to wellbore stability analysis appear to overestimate the tangential stress around the wellbore and produce more conservative stresses compared to the results of field observation. Therefore, the drilling mud properties obtained from the elastoplastic wellbore stability in shales provide a safer mud weight window and reduce drilling cost.

Geomechanical study of gas reservoir rock using vertical seismic profile and petrophysical data (continental shelf in southern Iran)

Geomechanics is a science dealing with the study of the behaviour of rocks affected by stress. It has various applications in utilisation from oil and gas reservoirs including of the wellbore stability analysis and determination of safe mud window. The main aim of this paper is geomechanical study of Kangan–Dalan reservoir in South Pars gas field in Persian Gulf in south Iran. Seismic waves are affected by physical properties of rocks when passing underground formations; thus, the velocity of these waves is a desired parameter for estimation of geomechanical properties. The velocity of compressional and shear waves has been determined with processing seismic data resulting from vertical seismic profile. In this paper, after calculation of elastic modules of reservoir rock, the imposed stress field was determined and these concepts were used for engineering calculations such as safe mud window, wellbore stability analysis and sand production potential. For well drilling in Kangan-Dalan reservoir, the minimum and maximum mud weights were proposed in average as 1.093 and 2.011 gr/cc and average critical mud weight as 2.48 gr/cc such that if the weight of mud increases, the tensile fractures will be created on the formation and complete loss of mud will happen.     

复合岩盐层井眼蠕变缩径的数值模拟
