加长方钻杆在随钻中的应用

在推广复合导向钻井技术及新型PDC钻头施工过程中,常常出现动力钻具产生的反扭矩带动钻具逆时针旋转现象,使钻机大绳打扭,将水龙带、有线随钻电缆等缠绕在一起,导致电缆损坏,耽误生产以及导致井下复杂情况发生等严重后果。通过在有线随钻中利用方钻杆柱的方法,即在有线随钻中,根据井架类型,选择2根或3根自加工的方钻杆连接在一起,通过方钻杆和转盘的相互作用,控制螺杆钻具产生的反扭矩,从而避免钻具突然逆时针旋转情况的发生,较好地解决了上述难题,通过在冀中地区的推广应用,使得钻井速度大幅度提高,钻井事故相应地减少,实现了安全、高效钻进,获得了可观的经济效益。

Numerical simulation of downhole temperature distribution in producing oil wells

An improved numerical simulation method is presented to calculate the downhole temperature distribution for multiple pay zones in producing oil wells. Based on hydrodynamics and heat transfer theory, a 2-D temperature field model in cylindrical coordinates is developed. In the model, we considered general heat conduction as well as the heat convection due to fluid flow from porous formation to the borehole. We also take into account the fluid velocity variation in the wellbore due to multiple pay zones. We present coupled boundary conditions at the interfaces between the wellbore and adjacent formation, the wellbore and pay zone, and the pay zone and adjacent formation. Finally, an alternating direction implicit difference method （ADI） is used to solve the temperature model for the downhole temperature distribution. The comparison of modeled temperature curve with actual temperature log indicates that simulation result is in general quite similar to the actual temperature log. We found that the total production rate, production time, porosity, thickness of pay zones, and geothermal gradient, all have effects on the downhole temperature distribution.

Detection performance of azimuthal electromagnetic logging while drilling tool in anisotropic media

Azimuthal electromagnetic(EM)logging while drilling(LWD)has been extensively used in high-angle and horizontal(HA/HZ)wells.However,due to the effects of formation anisotropy,accurate geosteering decision and formation evaluations have become increasingly difficult.To quantitatively analyze the effect of anisotropy on tool responses and data processing,this paper investigates the sensitivity of EM LWD measurements to electric anisotropy and inversion accuracy via forward modeling and inversion.First,a sensitivity factor is defined to quantitatively analyze the sensitivity of the magnetic field components and synthetic signals to electric anisotropy.Then,azimuthal EM LWD responses in anisotropic layered formations are simulated,and the sensitivities to formation parameters for compensated and uncompensated tool configurations are comparatively analyzed.Finally,we discuss the effects of the inversion model on bed boundary inversion in anisotropic formations.Numerical simulation and inversion results show that azimuthal EM LWD can be significantly affected by electric anisotropy.Fortunately,by using a symmetrical compensation configuration,the sensitivity of the geosignals to electric anisotropy can be suppressed,and the boundary detection capability can be further enhanced.Anisotropy normally gives rise to separated resistivity curves and abnormal"horns";moreover,complicated nonlinear distortion can also arise in geosignals as the tool approaches a bed boundary.If anisotropy effects are ignored in the inversion process,the estimated bed boundary and formation resistivity are usually unreliable,which may mislead geosteering decisions.

Measurements of in situ stress and mining-induced stress in Beiminghe Iron Mine of China

In order to obtain the distribution rules of in situ stress and mining-induced stress of Beiminghe Iron Mine, the stress relief method by overcoring was used to measure the in situ stress, and the MC type bore-hole stress gauge was adopted to measure the mining-induced stress. In the in situ stress measuring, the technique of improved hollow inclusion cells was adopted, which can realize complete temperature compensation. Based on the measuring results, the distribution model of in situ stress was established and analyzed. The in situ stress measuring result shows that the maximum horizontal stress is 1.75-2.45 times of vertical stress and almost 1.83 times of the minimum horizontal stress in this mineral field. And the mining-induced stress measuring result shows that, according to the magnitude of front abutment pressure the stress region can be separated into stress-relaxed area, stress- concentrated area and initial stress area. At the -50 m mining level of this mine, the range of stress-relaxed area is 0-3 m before mining face; the range of stress-concentrated area is 3-55 m before mining face, and the maximum mining-induced stress is 16.5-17.5 MPa, which is 15-20 m from the mining face. The coefficient of stress concentration is 1.85.

Application of gap element to nonlinear mechanics analysis of drillstring

This paper presents a nonlinear finite element method to resolve the problem of the nonlinear contact between the drillstring and hole wall by using a Multi-directional Contact Gap Element (MCGE) contacting at appropriate positions in each beam element. The method was successfully applied to the Daqing Oil Field GP1 well. It was shown that the drillstring's contact resistance at any well depth could be obtained by calculations and that as the error in the calculation of the hole top load is below 10%, the calculation result can provide theoretical basis for the design and operation of drillstrings.

Viscosity testing method of ultra-low temperature drilling fluids for polar glacier drilling

According to the working environment of the polar glacier core drilling, a separatory funnel capillary viscometer which can be used for testing the viscosity of liquids under ultra-low temperature conditions was de- signed. This viscometer has a simple structure and it is easy to operate, which can meet the testing requirements of different temperature conditions. The viscosity of the dimethyl silicone oil KF-96L-2.0cs was measured under different temperatures using this designed viseometer, and it is found that the viscometer coefficient K changes linearly with temperature. This testing method has relatively high test accuracy and its relative error is less than 4%, which can be used to test the viscosity of the different liquids in ultra-low temperature conditions.

AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE MECHANISM AND PROCESS OF ROCK BREAKAGE WITH THE PLANETARY CUTTER HEAD

Based on the kinematic features of the Planetary Cutter Head (PCH),this paper deals with specificity of rock breakage with PCH, and the basic laws of this process are presented. The study shows that the axial force acting on the drilling face by a single cutter and the uniaxial com-pressive strength of the drilled rock have the marked influence on the penetrating depth of the cutter ,and the breakage of the drilling face with the PCH has two forms,the cyclical and the noncyclical. The major reason why the PCH has higher drilling efficiency than other cutter heads is that the PCH can make more free faces on the drilling face.

Efficient finite-volume simulation of the LWD orthogonal azimuth electromagnetic response in a three-dimensional anisotropic formation using potentials on cylindrical meshes

In this study,the cylindrical finite-volume method(FVM)is advanced for the efficient and high-precision simulation of the logging while drilling(LWD)orthogonal azimuth electromagnetic tool(OAEMT)response in a three-dimensional(3 D)anisotropic formation.To overcome the ill-condition and convergence problems arising from the low induction number,Maxwell’s equations are reformulated into a mixed Helmholtz equation for the coupled potentials in a cylindrical coordinate system.The electrical fi eld continuation method is applied to approximate the perfectly electrical conducting(PEC)boundary condition,to improve the discretization accuracy of the Helmholtz equation on the surface of metal mandrels.On the base,the 3 D FVM on Lebedev’s staggered grids in the cylindrical coordinates is employed to discretize the mixed equations to ensure good conformity with typical well-logging tool geometries.The equivalent conductivity in a non-uniform element is determined by a standardization technique.The direct solver,PARDISO,is applied to efficiently solve the sparse linear equation systems for the multi-transmitter problem.To reduce the number of calls to PARDISO,the whole computational domain is divided into small windows that contain multiple measuring points.The electromagnetic(EM)solutions produced by all the transmitters per window are simultaneously solved because the discrete matrix,relevant to all the transmitters in the same window,is changed.Finally,the 3 D FVM is validated against the numerical mode matching method(NMM),and the characteristics of both the coaxial and coplanar responses of the EM field tool are investigated using the numerical results.

Study on linear shaped charge in penetrating rock

Based on the action mechanism of linear shaped charge（ LSC ）, penetration performance of LSC on rock was studied. The optimal standoff and the vertex angle of LSC were studied and determined by lab experiments. Through cutting sand-cement grout samples, the spacing interval of boreholes can approach 17.5 times of the bore-hole＇ s diameter, and the result of the directional expansion of crack is satisfactory. The result of field experiment indicates cutting effect is very good, the ruggedness in fracture plane is less than 50 mm, the rate of half-hole marks is nearly 100 % , and the crack inspection shows that there is no damage in the internal of the cutting part. All these suggest that the orientation fracture blasting with LSC is a good means in directional fracture controlled blasting and is worth popularizing widely.

Sediment consolidation settlement of Chengbei Sea area in the northern Huanghe River subaqueous delta,China

One of the most important factors controlling the morphology of the modem Huanghe （Yellow） River delta is consolidation settlement, which is impacted by fast deposition, high water content, and low density of seafloor sediment. Consolidation settlement of the Huanghe River subaqueous delta was studied based on field data, laboratory experiments on 12 drill holes, and the one-dimensional consolidation theory. Results show that vertical sediment characteristics varied greatly in the rapidly forming sedimentary bodies of the modem Huanghe River subaqueous delta. Sediments in the upper parts of drill holes were coarser than those in the deeper parts, and other physical and mechanical properties changed accordingly. On the basis of the one-dimensional consolidation theory and drilling depth, the final consolidation settlement of drill holes was between 0.6 m and 2.8 m, and the mean settlement of unit depth was at 1.5-3.5 cm/m. It takes about 15-20 years for the consolidation degree to reach 90% and the average sedimentation rate within the overlying 50 m strata was at 5 cm/a to 12 cm/a. This study helps to forecast the final consolidation settlement and settlement rate of the modem Huanghe River subaqueous delta, which provides key geotechnical information for marine engineers.

Formation damage control of high permeability sandstone reservoir

The concern on formation damage control of high permeability sandstone reservoir has been growing in oil industry in recent years. The invasion of particles and the filtrate of drilling fluid are proven as one of the key factors accounting for reservoir damage. Based on the ideal packing theory, the practical software has been developed to optimize the blending proportion of several bridging agents, and the core flooding tests were conducted to evaluate return permeability of core samples contaminated with different drilling fluids. Experimental results show that the ideal packing approach can reduce the dynamic filtration rate, improve the return permeability and drawdown the breakthrough pressure, indicating that this kind of drilling fluids can meet the demands of formation damage control for high permeability sandstone reservoirs. Some applying procedures for formation damage control are also proposed in this paper.
