水下井口探测技术研究

在海上油田开发过程中,往往存在一些当时不具备开发条件的水下井口。这些井口一方面现阶段具有重新开发价值,另一方面也是海洋工程建设的障碍物。而水下井口尺度小,常用的调查手段较难探测到。文中介绍了浅地层剖面仪和磁力仪的原理,并开展了浅地层剖面仪和磁力仪综合探测水下井口的应用与分析。结果表明浅地层剖面仪和磁力仪均可探测到井口,在浅地层剖面图像上表现为垂向的声学空白带,为桩坑和井口的反射;磁异常平面等值线为等轴状,存在极大值和极小值,井口位于极大值和极小值之间。浅地层剖面仪和磁力仪探测的井口位置相差1m,与给定井口坐标偏差2m,满足工程需求。因此使用浅地层剖面仪和磁力仪综合探测水下井口在现阶段不失为一种可行的方法。     

土耳其天然碱溶采钻井项目管理实践

土耳其天然碱溶采钻井项目包括ETI SODA开发合同一~六期和KAZAN SODA开发合同一~三期,共成功实施溶采井组200余组。海外钻井工程涉及的影响因素较多,除常规的钻井工程技术问题外,还需要适应当地的政治、法律、风俗、汇率、海运、关税等问题。项目部在实施过程中根据海外钻井工程特点以及现场施工环境,加强项目人员、设备材料、现场作业、安全及风险等方面的管理,发挥指导、管理、控制作用,降低工程风险,提高收益,确保项目顺利完工。本文就土耳其天然碱溶采对接井钻井项目人员组织管理、设备器具管理、现场作业程序管理、HSE管理及风险管理进行了介绍,总结了一些海外钻井项目管理经验。     

页岩气地质调查井浙桐地1井钻探施工技术

浙桐地1井是部署在浙江省桐庐县百江镇境内的一口页岩气地质调查井。该井旨在通过钻取地层岩心及测录井等工作方法探索下扬子地区页岩气新层系奥陶系胡乐组、宁国组泥页岩含气性。文章详细介绍了该井基本情况、钻探施工工艺以及孔斜超标处理方法。在孔深140 m时孔斜严重超标达9.3°,水泥封孔重钻。项目组通过钻压、转速、泵量等钻进参数优化组合并采用底喷同心圆尖齿组合型钻头,克服了地层强造斜性引起的易井斜问题,完钻后测得最大井斜5.5°,符合设计要求。     

黔南地区~3 km油气深孔地应力测量与构造应力场分析

地应力大小和方向信息是非常规油气勘探开发及区域构造应力场特征分析的重要基础数据。为了解黔南紫云地区的现今地应力状态,采用基于钻孔岩心的非弹性应变恢复(ASR)地应力测量方法,获取了紫云地区2877～2985 m石炭系打屋坝组地层的地应力信息,分析了区域构造应力场特征,探讨了油气保存条件。结果表明:(1)黔南紫云地区近3 km处石炭纪地层现今地应力状态表现为以垂向应力为主的应力环境,测点处最大水平主应力方向近SN向。(2)紫云地区近3 km处岩心实测最大水平主应力方向与燕山早期古构造应力场最大主应力方向大致相同,一定程度上反映了燕山末期—喜马拉雅运动对次生油气藏的改造程度较小,有利于黔南坳陷内部油气藏的保存。     

A satellite data driven approach to monitoring and reporting fire disturbance and recovery across boreal and temperate forests

The regular and consistent measurements provided by Earth observation satellites can support the monitoring and reporting of forest indicators. Although substantial scientific literature espouses the capabilities of satellites in this area, the techniques are under-utilised in national reporting, where there is a preference for aggregating ad hoc data. In this paper, we posit that satellite information, while perhaps of low accuracy at single time steps or across small areas, can produce trends and patterns which are, in fact, more meaningful at regional and national scales. This is primarily due to data consistency over time and space. To investigate this, we use MODIS and Landsat data to explore trends associated with fire disturbance and recovery across boreal and temperate forests worldwide. Our results found that 181 million ha (9 %) of the study area (2 billion ha of forests) was burned between 2001 and 2018, as detected by MODIS satellites. World Wildlife Fund biomes were used for a detailed analysis across several countries. A significant increasing trend in area burned was observed in Mediterranean forests in Chile (8.9 % yr⁻¹), while a significant decreasing trend was found in temperate mixed forests in China (-2.2 % yr⁻¹). To explore trends and patterns in fire severity and forest recovery, we used Google Earth Engine to efficiently sample thousands of Landsat images from 1991 onwards. Fire severity, as measured by the change in the normalized burn ratio (NBR), was found to be generally stable over time; however, a slight increasing trend was observed in the Russian taiga. Our analysis of spectral recovery following wildfire indicated that it was largely dependent on location, with some biomes (particularly in the USA) showing signs that spectral recovery rates have shortened over time. This study demonstrates how satellite data and cloud-computing can be harnessed to establish baselines and reveal trends and patterns, and improve monitoring and reporting of forest indicators at national and global scales.     

压裂防砂技术在南堡35—2油田大斜度井的应用

南堡35—2油田明化镇组储层为中高孔、中高渗疏松砂岩稠油油藏,需要压裂防砂来实现增产和防砂。根据端部脱砂压裂的原理,并结合南堡35—2油田A16井明化镇组储层特点,优选出适合该井压裂防砂的清洁压裂液、支撑剂和工具,针对井斜大的特点优化了压裂防砂工艺,采用一趟管柱对明化镇1油组和0油组成功进行了压裂防砂施工。压后油井产液量提高明显,且不出砂,证明压裂防砂达到了增产和防砂的双重作用,是开发疏松砂岩稠油油藏的一项进攻性措施。     

Assessing optical earth observation systems for mapping and monitoring temporary ponds in arid areas

Remote sensing methods for locating and monitoring temporary ponds over large areas in arid lands were tested on a study site in Northern Senegal. Three main results are presented, validated with field data and intended to highlight different spectral, spatial and temporal characteristics of the methods: (1) Among several water indices tested, two Middle Infrared-based indices (MNDWI—Modified Normalized Difference Water Index and NDWI₁—Normalized Difference Water Index) are found to be most efficient; (2) an objective method is given prescribing the necessary sensor spatial resolution in terms of minimal detected pond area; and (3) the potential of multi-temporal MODIS imagery for tracking the filling phases of small ponds is illustrated. These results should assist in epidemiological studies of vector-borne diseases that develop around these ponds, but also more generally for land and water management and preservation of threatened ecosystems in arid areas.     

Application of a proportional-integral control for the estimation of static formation temperatures in oil wells

A strategy based on proportional-integral (PI) feedback control was applied to solve an inverse heat transfer problem for estimating static formation temperatures (SFTs) from logged temperatures in oil wells. The PI control feedbacks the error between logged and simulated temperatures during the shut-in time process, existing SFT proposal. Thus, mathematically speaking an inverse heat transfer problem was solved in this way, since SFT represents the initial conditions (which are unknown) to solve the partial differential equations governing the heat transfer process in the wellbore-formation system. The mathematical model considers transient convective heat transfer due to circulation losses to the rock surrounding a well. The methodology was tested analyzing two oil wells (MB-3007 and MB-3009) from the Gulf of Mexico and results were compared against two classic methods. The method presented in this work needs only one temperature measurement for each fixed depth to estimate the SFT.

为加快南堡1号构造的开发速度,冀东油田在南堡1—5海上导管架尝试实施了批量钻井技术。针对南堡1—5海上导管架井口间距小的特点,对井口布置、优选及轨迹设计进行了深入研究和论证,并对施工顺序、工艺作了精细安排,保证了钻井施工的顺利,提高了钻井速度。南堡1～5井组5口井平均钻井周期为16．72d,较未实施批量钻井单井钻井周期缩短30％以上。该项技术为缓解海上钻井平台紧张被动局面提供了一个行之有效的解决方案,同时为人工岛模块钻机高效利用提供了新思路。     

东海西湖凹陷天外天二井热史恢复

应用结合法和流体包裹体显微测温法对东海西湖凹陷浙东中央背斜带南部天外天二井的地热演化史进行了模拟恢复。结果表明,自渐新世至今,总体表现为古地温梯度呈逐渐降低的趋势,高的古地温梯度有利于烃源岩的成熟演化与烃类生成;坳陷演化阶段的古热流高于区域沉降阶段,升温速率与古热流具有较为明显的“镜像”变化关系。利用结合法与流体包裹体测温法能有效地恢复含油气盆地的热演化历史。
