Abstract:

On the basis of the original well, the slim hole deepening operation can speed up the development progress and reduce the cost. In slim hole deepening operation, it is necessary to mill through the artificial bottom with flat-faced milling shoes. Because of the low milling line speed in the center of the bottom hole, the penetration rate of the milling operation is limited. In order to improve the milling penetration rate at the bottom hole center, a dynamic model of milling shoe-drillstring is established, and the effects of milling shoe diameter, drill collar diameter and rotation speed on the distribution of bottom hole milling line speed are studied. The numerical simulation results show that the diameter of the milling shoe has the greatest influence on the trajectory of the center of the milling shoe, and then affects the distribution of the milling linear velocity. Reducing the size of the milling shoe properly will greatly improve the linear velocity at the bottom of the well and the final penetration rate, and there is an optimal diameter of the milling shoe; the influence of the drill collar is small, but it is unnecessary to use the large-size drill collar. The surface rotating speed will affect the evenness of milling. The greater the rotating speed is, the more uniform the milling will be. If the speed is too small, it is easy to cause less milling around the wellbore. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the time of repairing the well in the later stage as far as possible. Finally, according to the results of numerical simulation, the milling BHA is redesigned, and the field tests of three wells are carried out. The test results show that the improved design can greatly improve the milling rate. The optimal size of milling shoe determined by the experiment is close to the results of numerical simulation, and the penetration rate of milling is three times of the original design. When the size of milling shoe is small, the penetration rate of milling is far higher than the original design. However, it takes a long time to repair the well in the later stage.

摘要: 在原有井眼基础上,进行小井眼加深作业可以加快开发进度,降低开发成本。在小井眼加深井作业时需要先用平底磨鞋磨穿人工井底,由于井底中心研磨线速度小限制了整个平磨作业的机械钻速。为了提高井底中心处的研磨速度,建立了磨鞋—钻柱动力学模型,研究了磨鞋直径、钻铤直径和转速等因素对井底研磨线速度分布的影响。数值模拟结果表明,磨鞋直径对磨鞋中心在井底的运动轨迹影响最大,进而影响平磨线速度分布,适当缩小磨鞋尺寸将极大地提高井底中心处的线速度和最终的平磨机械钻速,存在一个最佳的磨鞋直径;钻铤的影响较小,但没必要使用大尺寸钻铤;地面转速大小影响平磨的均匀度,转速越大研磨越均匀,转速过小容易导致井周磨损不到,增加后期修复井眼的时间,在设备允许的前提下应尽可能提高平磨转速。最后根据数值模拟结果重新设计了平磨钻具组合,并开展了 3口井的现场试验,试验结果证明改进的设计可以大幅地提高平磨机械钻速,实验确定的最佳磨鞋尺寸和数值模拟结果相近,研磨机械钻速是原设计的 3倍;磨鞋尺寸较小时,研磨机械钻速也远高于原设计,但此时后期修复井眼的时间也较长。关键词:平磨作业;磨鞋尺寸;钻柱动力学;钻具组合设计;加深井
