塔里木碳酸盐岩地层定容体压力变化与气液置换规律研究

Pressure variation and gas-liquid displacement law of constant volume cave in Tarim carbonate rock formation

  • 摘要: 塔里木缝洞型碳酸盐岩地层溶洞发育,钻井过程中易导致溢漏同时发生,压力控制困难,钻井和井控安全存在极大挑战,亟需研究钻遇定容体时气液置换规律和定容体内压力变化规律。定容体气液置换过程中伴随着钻井液漏失与气体进入井筒,两相流相场法能够模拟气液置换界面和定容体内压力变化特征。基于两相流相场法,研究了钻遇定容体时的气液置换规律;与现场数据对比,验证了该方法对钻遇定容体时气液置换规律模拟的可靠性;并模拟分析了钻遇不同定容体体积、钻遇深度和漏失压差工况下的压力变化特征与气液置换规律。模拟结果表明,漏失相同体积分数钻井液时,随着定容体体积增大,侵入井筒气量增多;随着定容体深度增大,侵入井筒气量增多;随着初始漏失压差增加,侵入井筒气量显著降低;高初始漏失压差条件下钻遇定容体时,易出现失返性漏失。研究结果为现场钻遇定容体时制定处理方案提供了理论依据。

     

    Abstract: The Tarim fracture cave type carbonate rock formation has developed karst caves, which are prone to overflow and leakage during drilling, making pressure control difficult and posing great challenges to drilling and well control safety. It is urgent to study the gas-liquid displacement law and pressure change law when encountering a constant volume cave during drilling. During the process of constant volume gas-liquid displacement, drilling fluid leakage and gas entering the wellbore are accompanied. The two-phase flow phase-field method can effectively simulate the characteristics of gas-liquid displacement interface and pressure changes in the constant volume cave. Based on the two-phase flow phase-field method, the gas-liquid displacement law when drilling into a constant volume cave was studied. Compared with on-site data, the reliability of this method in simulating the gas-liquid displacement law when drilling into a constant volume cave has been verified. The pressure variation characteristics and gas-liquid displacement laws were simulated and analyzed under different constant volume caves, drilling depths, and leakage pressure differentials. The results indicate that as the volume of the constant volume cave increases, the amount of gas entering the wellbore increases when the same volume fraction of drilling fluid is lost. When the same volume fraction of drilling fluid is lost, a greater amount of gas invasions into the wellbore by the deep constant volume cave. An increase in initial leakage pressure difference can lead to a significant decrease in the amount of gas entering the wellbore when the same volume fraction of drilling fluid is lost. When encountering a constant volume cave during drilling under high initial leakage pressure difference conditions, it is prone to backflow leakage. The research results provide a theoretical basis for the development of treatment plans when encountering constant volume cave during on-site drilling.
