吉X井煤层气绒囊钻井液实践

Practice of fuzzy-ball drilling fluid technology in Well Ji X coal bed methane

吉X井二开井段530.00～616.00 m为高压水层,780.00～860.00 m井段有80 m砾石层,目的层山西组地层压力系数0.55～1.00,太原组0.67～1.03,不同压力系数共存同一裸眼。采用膨润土钻井液、聚合物钻井液,钻穿高压水层。但聚合物钻井液在密度1.2～1.5 g/cm^3、滴流状态时,仍无法解决砾石层的井壁失稳和岩屑携带问题。钻至井深925.00 m后,通井距井底70 m无法到底。后改用绒囊钻井液技术,用重晶石加重,密度1.03 g/cm^3,漏斗黏度90 s,12 h清洗70 m沉砂;密度1.07 g/cm^3,漏斗黏度70 s,顺利钻进到1278 m完钻,下套管和固井顺利。绒囊钻井液技术有效地提高了低压目的层承压能力,解决了不同压力系统共存同一裸眼的工程难题。

In the second open hole between 530 m and 616 m in depth in Well Ji-X, there is an aqueous layer with high pressure, and between 780 m and 860 m in depth, there is a gravel layer. The formation pressure coefficient of Shanxi target interval formation is between 0.55 and 1.0 while the formation pressure coefficient of Taiyuan target interval formation is between 0.67 and 1.03, and dif- ferent pressure coefficients exist in a same open hole. Bentonite-based and polymer-based drilling fluids were applied in the penetration of high pressure water layer. However, polymer drilling fluids with density of 1.2- 1.5 g/cm^3 and high viscosity can not maintain the hole stability and cutting carrying capacity in the gravel layer in drilling process. There was still 70 m can not reach over the open hole bottom while the well was only 925 m in depth. Then Fuzzy-ball drilling fluid technology was applied, which was weighted by mixing barites, and the density was increased to 1.03 g/cm^3; the funnel viscosity reached to 90 s; and the 70 m gravel was removed in 12 hours circulation. The drilling reached to 1278 m in depth smoothly with fuzzy- ball drilling fluid, in which the fluid density was 1.07 g/cm^3 while the funnel viscosity was decreased to 70 s. The processes of running casing and cementing go well subsequently. Loading bearing capacity of low-pressure target layer is greatly improved and the engineering problem of different coefficients exist in a certain open hole section is solved by application of drilling fluid with fuzzy-ball technology, which provides a new drilling fluid technology for the low-pressure coal bed methane exploration.
