In line with PETRONAS commitment to monetize high CO2 content gas field in Malaysia, C Field which is a carbonate gas field located in East Malaysia's waters with approximately 70% of CO2 becomes main target for development because of its technical and economic feasibility. Injectivity has been determined as one of the key parameters that determine the success of CO2 storage in field operations. In order to characterize the CO2 injecitivity behavior in C Field, long duration coreflooding experiments has been conducted on two representative core samples under reservoir conditions. The first set of coreflooding test has been conducted on gas zone sample and another one is on aquifer sample. Two important approach has been applied in the experiment in which the first one is where the base rate is established after each incremental stage and the second one is the pre-equilibration of carbonated brine with standard minerals based on the percentage of core mineralogy before saturating the core with aquifer brine to mimic the insitu geochemical conditions of the reservoir. Pre- and post-flooding characterization was conducted using Routine Core Analysis (RCA), X-Ray CT-scan, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Inductive Coupled Plasma (ICP) to examine the porosity-permeability changes, pore size alterations and the geochemical processes that might take place during CO2 flooding. Based on the differential pressure data, it showed no clear indication of formation damage even after injection of large CO2 pore volume. Pre and post-flooding characterization supported the findings where minor dissolution/precipitation is observed. Overall intrepretation indicates that the critical flowrate is not yet reached for both samples within the maximum rates applied.
C气田位于马来西亚东部海域,二氧化碳含量约为70%,由于其技术和经济可行性,C气田成为马来西亚国家石油公司开发的主要目标。注入能力已被确定为决定现场作业中CO2封存成功与否的关键参数之一。为了表征C油田的CO2注入行为,对两个具有代表性的岩心样品进行了储层条件下的长时间岩心驱油实验。第一套岩心驱替试验在含气层样品上进行,第二套岩心驱替试验在含水层样品上进行。实验中采用了两种重要的方法,一种是在每个增量阶段后确定基本速率,另一种是在用含水层盐水饱和岩心之前,根据岩心矿物学百分比预先平衡碳酸盐岩与标准矿物,以模拟储层的原位地球化学条件。利用常规岩心分析(RCA)、x射线ct扫描(ct)、核磁共振(NMR)和电感耦合等离子体(ICP)对CO2驱油过程中可能发生的孔隙度-渗透率变化、孔径变化和地球化学过程进行了表征。根据压差数据,即使在注入大孔隙体积的CO2后,也没有明显的地层损害迹象。驱前和驱后的表征支持了观察到的少量溶解/沉淀的发现。总体解释表明,在应用的最大速率范围内,两个样品的临界流量尚未达到。

A heavy oil field is developed with the Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). Since the start of oil production, the oil production amount of the studied reservoir has been lower than that of the surrounding oil fields. The development of the steam chambers are relatively poor, and the spatial distribution of the steam chambers is not clear. In order to describe the shape of the steam chambers accurately, a novel method of monitoring the steam chambers is proposed by using broadband, high-density seismic data and dynamic production data. Broadband, high-density seismic data are acquired. Firstly, seismic horizons are well interpreted, and multiple seismic attributes are analyzed in combination with well data to understand the seismic response of the steam chambers. Then, several seismic inversion methods are tried to obtain high-resolution impedance, and they are compared with each other to find optimal inversion result for steam chamber prediction. Finally, the shape of the steam chambers are delineated with seismic attributes, inverted impedance, production data, and temperature logs of observation wells. The predicted steam chamber has good agreement with the temperature logs of observation wells. The result shows that the appearance of steam chambers has an obvious impact on seismic signals, and broadband, high-density seismic data make great contributions to the description of the steam chambers. The proposed method reduces the uncertainty in steam chamber prediction with single data source, and is applicable to other oilfields using steam injection.
采用蒸汽辅助重力泄油(SAGD)技术开发稠油油田。该油藏自投产以来,产油量一直低于周边油田。蒸汽室的发展相对较差,蒸汽室的空间分布不清楚。为了准确地描述蒸汽室的形状,提出了一种利用宽带、高密度地震资料和动态生产资料监测蒸汽室的新方法。获取宽带、高密度地震数据。首先,对地震层位进行解释,结合井资料分析多种地震属性,了解蒸汽室的地震响应;然后,尝试几种地震反演方法获得高分辨率阻抗,并对其进行比较,寻找蒸汽室预测的最佳反演结果。最后,利用地震属性、反演阻抗、生产数据和观测井的温度测井曲线圈定了蒸汽室的形状。预测的蒸汽室与观测井温度测井曲线吻合较好。结果表明,蒸汽室的出现对地震信号有明显的影响,宽带、高密度的地震资料对蒸汽室的描述有很大贡献。该方法降低了单一数据源下蒸汽室预测的不确定性,适用于其他注汽油田。

Higher Precision Automated Managed Pressure Drilling Control Achieved Through the Addition of a Thermal Model 通过增加热模型实现更高精度的自动控压钻井控制

For a robust and efficient automated Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) operation, the choke controller requires an accurate hydraulics model that can be run at minimum computational expense. Integration of a suitable thermal model would improve the accuracy of the hydraulics model used by the choke controller. The use of existing thermal models, however, comes with additional computational costs that are a hurdle when aiming to achieve real-time control at sufficiently fast time-scales. In this paper, a quasi-steady thermal model is integrated with an automated MPD control approach that uses a reduced Drift-Flux Model (RDFM) to describe the hydraulics of multiphase flow in real-time. This integrated modeling approach provides the dynamic temperature profile along a well without increasing the computational expense. The energy equation is solved using the finite-difference method (FDM) in an explicit scheme, with all the temperature-dependent parameters updated in accordance with the calculated temperature profile in each computation step. The RDFM is also reformulated to account for the heat transfer between the gas and the surroundings. This modified model is then incorporated into an automated observer algorithm to estimate parameters, e.g. volume of gas expansion (dependent on temperature), which are used by the controller for choke opening manipulation. Validations are first conducted in a simulation environment for the scenario with a dynamic temperature profile along the well. The results indicate that the proposed modeling approach offers significant improvement compared to approaches which do not consider thermodynamics. A good agreement of the temperature results is observed between the proposed approach and existing models as well as commercial software. Case studies are also conducted for two scenarios to demonstrate the utility of the proposed integrated thermal and hydraulics model. Simulation results indicate that the proposed modeling approach can generate more accurate estimations of unmeasurable variables, which leads to a better performance of the choke manipulation. It should be noted that when employing the modified RDFM with a finite difference scheme, the computational cost is minimized. On a standard laptop computer, the computational time to simulate an entire well is of the order of 70ms for 1s sensor data sampling. Therefore, the proposed thermal and hydraulics model provides an enabling tool for a faster and more precise control of MPD systems.
为了实现稳健高效的自动化控压钻井(MPD)作业,节流器控制器需要精确的液压模型,以最小的计算成本运行。集成合适的热模型可以提高节流器所使用的液压模型的精度。然而,使用现有的热模型会带来额外的计算成本,这是在足够快的时间尺度上实现实时控制的障碍。本文将准稳态热模型与自动MPD控制方法相结合,该方法使用简化的漂移通量模型(RDFM)来实时描述多相流的水力特性。这种综合建模方法可以在不增加计算费用的情况下提供井内的动态温度分布。利用有限差分法(FDM)以显式格式求解能量方程,并在每个计算步骤中根据计算出的温度分布更新所有与温度相关的参数。RDFM也被重新制定,以考虑气体和周围环境之间的热量传递。然后将该修正模型纳入自动观测器算法以估计参数,例如气体膨胀体积(取决于温度),控制器使用这些参数进行节流口打开操作。首先在模拟环境中对沿井的动态温度剖面进行验证。结果表明,与不考虑热力学的建模方法相比,所提出的建模方法有显著的改进。所提出的方法与现有模型和商业软件的温度计算结果吻合良好。案例研究也进行了两种情况下,以证明所提出的综合热工和水力学模型的效用。仿真结果表明,所提出的建模方法可以对不可测变量进行更精确的估计,从而提高扼流圈控制的性能。值得注意的是,当采用有限差分格式的改进RDFM时,计算成本最小。在标准的笔记本电脑上,模拟整口井的计算时间约为70毫秒,每15个传感器数据采样。因此,所提出的热工和水力学模型为MPD系统的更快、更精确的控制提供了有利的工具。

Unconventional shale reservoirs have become a key player in the oil and gas industry to cover the world's energy demands. Traditionally, oil-based drilling fluids (OBM) are preferred to drill shale plays due to negligible chemical interactions. Nevertheless, strict environmental regulations have motived the industry to design water-based drilling fluids (WBM) capable to control the shale-water interactions, improving their performance. Still, conventional additives are too large to plug shales’ micro-fractures and nanopores. Thus, nanoparticles due to their unique size, shape, and properties can provide a solution for the WBM. This study focus on the design and evaluation of a customized nanoparticle water-based drilling fluid (NP-WBM) using silica nanoparticles (SiO2-NPs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). The main objective is to identify the optimal NP concentration to improve the rheological and filtration properties of the NP-WBM and evaluated its inhibition benefit. The NP selection was based on the characteristics of the Woodford shale obtained through x-ray diffraction (XRD), cation exchange capacity (CEC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). NPs’ colloidal stability was analyzed in an alkaline environment with zeta-potential measurements. The concentration of NPs was evaluated below 1 wt.%. Laboratory measurements for the NP-WBM included API filtrate test (LTLP) and high-temperature/high-pressure (HTHP) test using a static filter press and rheological analysis with a rotational viscometer. To evaluated the inhibition benefit, the NP-WBM was tested against the Woodford shale by performing immersion and cutting dispersion tests. The results showed zeta-potential values below −30 mV for both nanomaterials, indicating good dispersibility of the NPs within the WBM. Also, significant improvements in the filtration properties were observed when adding 0.5 wt.% of SiO2-NPs with 0.25 wt.% of GNPs to the base fluid with no spurt-loss and minor effects on the rheological parameters. Higher concentrations did not show further improvements; thus the previous combination was selected as the optimal. Chemical interactions tests indicated that the Woodford shale might develop micro-fractures when exposed to water for long periods of time. However, no micro-fractures were observed when the rock was exposed to NPs. Furthermore, the NP-WBM reduced the cutting dispersion by 35.61% compared to the base fluid, showing superior inhibition properties even in high illitic shales that are prone to experience cuttings disintegration. NPs’ stability and benefits at low concentrations, indicates their potential to improve the design of WBM for unconventional shales, reducing the environmental impacts linked to the drilling operations.
非常规页岩储层已成为油气行业满足全球能源需求的关键角色。传统上,油基钻井液(OBM)由于其化学相互作用可以忽略不计,更适合在页岩区钻井。然而,严格的环境法规促使该行业设计能够控制页岩水相互作用的水基钻井液(WBM),从而提高其性能。然而,传统的添加剂太大,无法堵塞页岩的微裂缝和纳米孔。因此,纳米颗粒由于其独特的尺寸、形状和性质,可以为WBM提供解决方案。本研究的重点是设计和评估使用二氧化硅纳米颗粒(SiO2-NPs)和石墨烯纳米片(GNPs)的定制纳米颗粒水基钻井液(NP-WBM)。主要目的是确定最佳NP浓度,以改善NP- wbm的流变学和过滤性能,并评估其抑制效果。NP选择基于通过x射线衍射(XRD)、阳离子交换容量(CEC)和扫描电镜(SEM)获得的Woodford页岩特征。用ζ电位法分析了NPs在碱性环境下的胶体稳定性。NPs的浓度低于1 wt.%。NP-WBM的实验室测量包括API滤液测试(LTLP)和高温/高压(HTHP)测试,使用静态压滤机进行测试,并使用旋转粘度计进行流变分析。为了评估NP-WBM的缓蚀效果,通过浸泡和切割分散测试对Woodford页岩进行了测试。结果表明,两种纳米材料的ζ电位值均低于- 30 mV,表明纳米粒子在WBM内具有良好的分散性。此外,当在基液中添加0.5 wt.%的SiO2-NPs和0.25 wt.%的GNPs时,可以观察到过滤性能的显著改善,没有喷射损失,对流变参数的影响很小。更高的浓度没有进一步的改善;因此选择前一种组合为最优。化学相互作用测试表明,Woodford页岩在长时间暴露于水中时可能会形成微裂缝。然而,当岩石暴露于NPs中时,没有观察到微裂缝。此外,与基液相比,NP-WBM减少了35.61%的岩屑分散,即使在容易发生岩屑崩解的高鲕粒页岩中也表现出优异的抑制性能。NPs在低浓度下的稳定性和效益表明,它们有可能改善非常规页岩水泥浆的设计,减少钻井作业对环境的影响。

A Practical Method to Match Trajectories of a Horizontal Well in Time Domain and in Depth in Ancient Buried Hill 古潜山水平井轨迹时域与深度匹配的实用方法

JZS is an offshore metamorphic rock buried hill oilfield. Both horizontal and vertical velocities of the oil field change very fast. The interval velocity of the buried hill stratum is twice that of the overlying strata, and the top surface of the buried hill fluctuates greatly with a maximum height difference of 300m. In the complex buried hill reservoir, since the current professional seismic software can not realize variable time-depth relationship in horizontal direction, which leads to the error of the trajectory form and position of the horizontal well in time domain, therefore the well trajectory in time domain is not matched with that in depth. In this paper, a new practical trajectories matching method for buried hill horizontal wells in time domain and in depth is presented. First of all, we carried on the research on the theoretical form of horizontal well trajectory in buried hill in time domain. The research shows that the theoretical trajectory form of a horizontal well in buried hill is consistent with trend of the buried hill top surface morphology. On the basis of theoretical research, by establishing the pseudo time-depth relationship of horizontal well based on measure depth (MD) and seismic reflection two way time (TWT), we realized the accurate characterization of the trajectory form and position of a horizontal well in buried hill in time domain: (1)For normal horizontal well with no more than 90 degrees inclination angle, we can respectively establish the pseudo time-depth relationship of the horizontal well in buried hill segment and in upper segment, and then merge both time-depth relationship data into a whole; (2)For the complex horizontal well with well segment whose inclination angle is more than 90 degrees, we need firstly split the well trajectory into normal well segment and complex segment according to inclination angle, then establish the pseudo time-depth relationship in normal and complex well segments respectively. More specifically, we can split the trajectory into normal trajectory segment with the inclination angle no more than 90 degrees and complex trajectory segment with the inclination angle more than 90 degrees, for normal segment, we can establish pseudo time-depth relationship like the normal horizontal well described earlier, for complex trajectory segment, we need creatively invert the top and bottom of the complex segment to convert inclination angle of the segment to within 90 degrees, and then establish pseudo time-depth relationship of the inverted segment. Through this method, we can obtain the accurate trajectory form and position of the horizontal well in time domain and it provides a basis for accurate geological modeling based on 3D seismic attributes constrains. The real reservoir performance of JZS buried oilfield in Bohai Bay in China has proved that the 3D geological model based on the new time-depth relationship (MD&TWT) of the horizontal wells is closer to the actual reservoir.
JZS油田为近海变质岩潜山油田。油田的水平和垂直速度变化都非常快。潜山地层的层间速度是上覆地层的2倍,潜山顶面波动较大,最大高差达300m。在复杂潜山油藏中,由于目前的专业地震软件不能在水平方向上实现变时深关系,导致水平井的轨迹形式和位置在时域上存在误差,从而导致时域上的井轨迹与深度上的井轨迹不匹配。本文提出了一种新的潜山水平井在时间域和深度上的实用轨迹匹配方法。首先,对潜山水平井轨迹的时域理论形式进行了研究。研究表明,潜山水平井的理论轨迹形式与潜山顶面形态趋势一致。在理论研究的基础上,通过建立基于测量深度(MD)和地震反射双向时间(TWT)的水平井伪时深关系,实现了潜山水平井轨迹形态和位置在时域上的准确表征;(1)对于倾角不大于90度的普通水平井,可以分别建立潜山段和上段水平井的伪时间-深度关系,然后将两者的时间-深度关系数据合并为一个整体;(2)对于井段倾角大于90度的复杂水平井,首先需要根据井段倾角将井眼轨迹划分为正常井段和复杂井段,然后分别在正常井段和复杂井段建立拟时间-深度关系。更具体地说,我们可以将弹道分为倾角不大于90度的正常弹道段和倾角大于90度的复杂弹道段,对于正常弹道段,我们可以像前面描述的正常水平井一样建立伪时间-深度关系,对于复杂弹道段,我们需要创造性地将复杂段的顶部和底部反转,将段的倾角转换为90度以内。然后建立逆段的伪时间-深度关系。通过该方法可以在时域上获得水平井的准确轨迹形式和位置,为基于三维地震属性约束的精确地质建模提供了依据。渤海湾JZS隐伏油田储层实际动态证明,基于水平井新时间-深度关系(MD&TWT)的三维地质模型更接近实际储层。

The research shows that the theoretical trajectory form of a horizontal well in buried hill is consistent with trend of the buried hill top surface morphology. On the basis of theoretical research, by establishing the pseudo time-depth relationship of horizontal well based on measure depth (MD) and seismic reflection two way time (TWT), we realized the accurate characterization of the trajectory form and position of a horizontal well in buried hill in time domain: (1)For normal horizontal well with no more than 90 degrees inclination angle, we can respectively establish the pseudo time-depth relationship of the horizontal well in buried hill segment and in upper segment, and then merge both time-depth relationship data into a whole; (2)For the complex horizontal well with well segment whose inclination angle is more than 90 degrees, we need firstly split the well trajectory into normal well segment and complex segment according to inclination angle, then establish the pseudo time-depth relationship in normal and complex well segments respectively. More specifically, we can split the trajectory into normal trajectory segment with the inclination angle no more than 90 degrees and complex trajectory segment with the inclination angle more than 90 degrees, for normal segment, we can establish pseudo time-depth relationship like the normal horizontal well described earlier, for complex trajectory segment, we need creatively invert the top and bottom of the complex segment to convert inclination angle of the segment to within 90 degrees, and then establish pseudo time-depth relationship of the inverted segment.\u0000 Through this method, we can obtain the accurate trajectory form and position of the horizontal well in time domain and it provides a basis for accurate geological modeling based on 3D seismic attributes constrains. The real reservoir performance of JZS buried oilfield in Bohai Bay in China has proved that the 3D geological model based on the new time-depth relationship (MD&TWT) of the horizontal wells is closer to the actual reservoir.","PeriodicalId":11267,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, March 28, 2019","volume":"118 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73419537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, the investment of new area productivity construction in Jilin oil field is high, stabilized production becomes more and more difficulty, so the strategic center of oil field transfers to the refracturing of old well, however, the comprehensive water cut and recovery of old oil field is high, and the remaining oil dispersed, increasing production and increasing efficiency by refracturing becomes more and more difficulty. In order to deal with these challenges and realize the benefits of tapping in old area, the new idea of "group fracturing" was proposed basing on the concept of volumetric fracturing, starting from the reconsideration of reservoir geology, injection production unit for the smallest study unit, and integrating multiple fracturing method, we conduct a series of technical studies and field experiment in the old area of Jilin oilfield. The group fracturing technology series mainly includes the following: (1) The high strength positioning and plugging technique for re-orientation fracturing; (2) Energy develop before fracturing and fast energy storage technique in fracturing; (3) Synchronous fracturing technique of multi wells; (4) Synchronous fracturing technique of oil and water well, re-orientation fracturing technique of water well; (5) Fracturing combining with rapid profile control and water plugging technique; (6) "Factory-oriented construction".Since 2016, the group fracturing has carried out a total of 143 wells in 14 blocks in the old area, which has achieved good results. Compared with the conventional fracturing in the same area, the economic efficiency is increased by 10.2%, the oil increase of the single well is increased by 1 times, and the effective period of the measure is raised by 50%. The practice shows that the group fracturing technique is an effective measure to exploit the benefits of the old area in the low permeability oilfield.
近年来,吉林油田新区产能建设投资高,稳产难度越来越大,油田战略重心转移到老井重复压裂上,但老油田综合含水采收率高,剩余油分散,重复压裂增产增效难度越来越大。为了应对这些挑战,实现老区开发效益,在体积压裂概念的基础上,提出了“群压裂”的新思路,从重新考虑储层地质出发,以最小研究单元为注入生产单元,整合多种压裂方法,在吉林油田老区进行了一系列技术研究和现场试验。群压裂技术系列主要包括:(1)重新定向压裂的高强度定位封堵技术;(2)压裂前能源开发与压裂中快速储能技术;(3)多井同步压裂技术;(4)油水井同步压裂技术、水井定向压裂技术;(5)压裂与快速调剖堵水技术相结合;(6)“Factory-oriented建设”。2016年以来,老区14个区块共进行了143口井群压,取得了较好的效果。与同地区常规压裂相比,经济效益提高10.2%,单井产油量提高1倍,措施有效期提高50%。实践表明,群压裂技术是低渗透油田开发老区效益的有效措施。

When producing hydrocarbons from an oil well, managing erosion of both surface and subsurface components caused by solids in the flow stream is critical to maintaining operations integrity in both land and offshore assets. Although component lifetime prediction has advanced in the past few decades, the prediction's accuracy remains a major oil and gas industry challenge. Current computational models only provide an initial erosion rate which is usually assumed constant until equipment failure. However, observed erosional rates vary as a function of time due to the geometrical changes caused by equipment material loss, which result in variations in solid particle impingement velocity [1] thereby either accelerating or slowing the erosional process. The constant rate simplified erosion model often produces inaccurate results that can lead to unexpected equipment failures or unnecessary equipment upgrades depending on whether the rate accelerates or decelerates. Therefore, developing a transient erosion model to capture the variations of erosional rate is needed for an accurate prediction of equipment lifetime. This paper presents an implementation of an erosion dynamics model in ANSYS FLUENT, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, to capture the progression of transient erosion. The model has the capability to capture the effects of surfaces receding from erosion at each time interval. By dynamically adjusting these surfaces and recalculating the local flow conditions in the area, this method can predict new erosion rates for each time interval and achieve fully coupled geometry-flow-erosion interactions. This new erosion dynamics model was validated against experimental data from both literature and physical testing, and was determined to have accurately captured the observed erosion trends over time in terms of location and magnitude. The model was then employed to study two real world applications: 1) in evaluating the erosion risk for a high-rate water injector, it predicted the evolution of damage to a coupler designed to connect different diameter pipes, and 2) in analyzing facility piping systems connected to an unconventional well, it predicted the transient erosion trend from proppant flowback, which allowed for pipe geometry optimization to increase in erosional life expectancy.
当从油井中生产碳氢化合物时,控制流体中固体对地表和地下成分的侵蚀对于保持陆地和海上资产的作业完整性至关重要。尽管在过去的几十年里,组件寿命预测已经取得了进步,但预测的准确性仍然是油气行业面临的主要挑战。目前的计算模型只提供了初始侵蚀速率,通常假设该速率在设备故障之前是恒定的。然而,由于设备材料损失引起的几何变化,观测到的侵蚀速率随时间而变化,从而导致固体颗粒撞击速度的变化[1],从而加速或减缓侵蚀过程。恒定速率简化侵蚀模型通常会产生不准确的结果,这可能会导致意外的设备故障或不必要的设备升级,具体取决于速率是加速还是减速。因此,需要开发一个瞬态侵蚀模型来捕捉侵蚀速率的变化,以便准确预测设备的使用寿命。本文介绍了在商用计算流体动力学软件ANSYS FLUENT中实现侵蚀动力学模型,以捕捉瞬态侵蚀的过程。该模型有能力捕捉地表在每个时间间隔内因侵蚀而后退的影响。通过动态调整这些表面并重新计算该区域的局部流动条件,该方法可以预测每个时间间隔的新侵蚀速率,并实现几何-流动-侵蚀的完全耦合相互作用。根据文献和物理测试的实验数据验证了这个新的侵蚀动力学模型,并确定它准确地捕捉了随时间推移所观察到的侵蚀趋势,包括位置和幅度。该模型随后被用于研究两个实际应用:1)在评估高速注水井的侵蚀风险时,它预测了连接不同直径管道的耦合器的损伤演变;2)在分析与非常规井相连的设施管道系统时,它预测了支撑剂返排引起的瞬态侵蚀趋势,从而允许对管道几何形状进行优化,以提高侵蚀预期寿命。

Drilling horizontal wells in YB gas field in Ordos Basin presents significant challenges due to severe wellbore instabilities problems in drilling through Permian Lower Shihezi and Upper Shanxi formations, where laminated shales overlies with sand and coal seam. In first phase of horizontal wells drilling, most wells encountered severe wellbore instabilities including pack-off, stuck-pipe, over-pull, drilling pipe lost in hole and even side track. Post-well analysis showed that these horizontal wells instabilities mainly occurred in Permian Lower Shihezi and Upper Shanxi formation where most cavings and drilling events (stuck-pipe, over-pull) were observed. In contrast, vertical exploration wells have no such instability issues in same interval. To analyze and understand the mechanism of wellbore instability issue and provide optimal mud weight and better drilling practice to reduce the risk of wellbore instabilities, an anisotropic wellbore stability modeling using Plane-of-Weakness (PoW) failure criterion was carried out in this study. The PoW failure criterion is adopted to compute the onset of rock shear sliding and/or fracture along a weak plane (bedding or fracture) and identify the potential wellbore instability risk in drilling through anisotropic rock formations. The influence of bedding orientation, rock anisotropic elastic and strength properties, and wellbore trajectory on the wellbore stability are all included in the model. This paper describes the process and workflow of conducting PoW wellbore stability modeling for YB field wellbore drilling. The proposed drilling parameters (stable mud weight) from the modeling and its application and improvement for next wells drilling, are also included. The analysis showed that the laminated shale and coal intervals were very prone to fail when well drilled with deviation between 600 to 850. The stable mud weight computed from PoW for drilling through these intervals is 1.40-1.45 g/cc, where as it is 1.20-1.25 g/cc from conventional isotropy wellbore stability model, which was not enough to keep wellbore stable. Based on results from PoW modeling, drilling mud weight scheme was updated and applied to another 3 horizontal wells planned at nearby location. All these three wells were drilled and completed safely without severe wellbore instability issue. In these wells’ 216mm (8.5 in) section, wellbore instability related non-productive time (NPT) was reduced about 11.5 days per well and section time was reduced about 26 days per well. This PoW modeling was first time applied in wellbore stability analysis for horizontal well drilling at Ordos Basin and the results are satisfied and encouraged. The insights provided in this paper suggests that, for drilling in other locations with similar instability challenges, PoW modeling will be a better choice to provide solution and recommendation to ensure drilling safely, improve drilling efficiency and reduce drilling costs.
鄂尔多斯盆地YB气田在二叠系下石河子组和上山西组地层钻井时存在严重的井筒不稳定性问题,钻井难度较大。在水平井钻井的第一阶段,大多数井都会遇到严重的井筒不稳定问题,包括封隔、卡钻、过拔、钻杆掉入井中甚至侧钻。井后分析表明,这些水平井不稳定主要发生在二叠系下石河子组和上山西组,在这些组中观察到的垮塌和钻井事件(卡钻、超拔)最多。而垂直探井在相同井段内则不存在这种不稳定问题。为了分析和理解井筒失稳问题的机理,为降低井筒失稳风险提供最优泥浆比重和更好的钻井实践,本研究采用弱平面(PoW)失效准则建立了各向异性井筒稳定性模型。采用PoW破坏准则计算沿弱平面(层理或裂缝)岩石剪切滑动和/或破裂的起始点,识别各向异性岩层钻井时潜在的井筒失稳风险。模型考虑了层理方向、岩石各向异性弹性和强度特性以及井筒轨迹对井筒稳定性的影响。本文介绍了YB油田钻井PoW井筒稳定性建模的过程和工作流程。本文还介绍了从模型中提出的钻井参数(稳定泥浆比重)及其在后续钻井中的应用和改进。分析表明,当井斜在600 ~ 850之间时,层状页岩和煤层层段极易发生失稳。根据PoW计算出的钻井液稳定密度为1.40 ~ 1.45 g/cc,而传统的各向同性井筒稳定模型计算出的钻井液稳定密度为1.20 ~ 1.25 g/cc,不足以保证井筒稳定。根据PoW建模结果,更新了钻井泥浆比重方案,并将其应用于附近位置的另外3口水平井。这三口井均安全钻完井,没有出现严重的井筒失稳问题。在这些井的216mm (8.5 In)井段中,与井筒不稳定相关的非生产时间(NPT)每口井减少了约11.5天,每口井的分段时间减少了约26天。该模型首次应用于鄂尔多斯盆地水平井钻井的井筒稳定性分析,结果令人满意和鼓舞。本文的见解表明,对于其他具有类似不稳定挑战的钻井地点,PoW建模将是更好的选择,为确保钻井安全,提高钻井效率和降低钻井成本提供解决方案和建议。

Brownfield in Balingian and Baram Delta have handful of idle wells and well to be abandoned in their inventories. The project aims to reduce the idle well inventories and support production gain through monetizing behind casing opportunities. The target is to appraise and develop LRLC potentials with lower cost of appraisals. This will maximize full field potentials before abandonment and leads to future development of LRLC opportunities as conventional reservoir becomes more difficult to develop. The idle well inventory has grew up due to problem in production (increase water cut, HGOR) and well problems (sand, fish). An order has been introduced to reduce the idle well list up to 50%. Additionally, in the past, the LRLC intervals were often ignored and considered as water-wet sands due to high water saturation or as tight sands. These intervals, that contain significant reserves, are recognized in many technical papers explaining its identification and evaluation techniques from well-data (logs and samples/cores). The scope of the project is to rejuvenate the idle wells by add-perf LRLC reservoirs. It is impossible to achieve the target without the presence of proper and improved LRLC BCO evaluation process, thus an integrated workflow approach (between Petrophysicist, Reservoir Engineer, Production Technologist, Asset manager & Well Intervention group) has been developed and applied in the project. A new evaluation tools had also been developed called REM (Resolution Enhanced Modelling) in order to improve the log properties of LRLC reservoirs so that the data obtained from old conventional tools can still be used to evaluate LRLC reservoir. Although LRLC is termed UNSEEN, the risk is reduced by proper understanding of hydrocarbon column and sand development. To date, 7 fields are already benefitted from this approach. Field A LRLC reservoir for example has tripled the hydrocarbon saturation, and net to gross has improved to 20% using REM compare to 5% without REM. The other 6 fields are also gaining the same increase in the properties. This has resulted in a cumulative potential of 4.4 MMstb of reserves addition and ~11 KBopd potential gain. As a result, a better and attractive BCO proposals can be generated from LRLC opportunities. The exercise will provide the company with cheaper options of appraising and developing LRLC reservoir while reducing the idle wells. There is no better way of understanding LRLC reservoir; as no tools can identify & quantify it yet, rather from the actual production.
在巴林和巴拉姆三角洲的布朗菲尔德地区,他们的库存中有少量闲置井和要放弃的井。该项目旨在减少闲置井的库存,并通过套管后的货币化来支持产量增长。目标是以较低的评估成本评估和开发LRLC潜力。这将在废弃前最大限度地提高油田的潜力,并在常规油藏开发难度加大的情况下,为LRLC的未来开发创造机会。由于生产问题(含水率增加、HGOR)和油井问题(出砂、出鱼),闲置油井库存不断增加。已经引入了一项订单,将闲置井数量减少到50%。此外,在过去,由于含水饱和度高,LRLC层段经常被忽略,被认为是水湿砂岩或致密砂岩。这些储层包含大量储量,在许多技术论文中都得到了认可,这些论文解释了通过井数据(测井和样品/岩心)识别和评价技术。该项目的范围是通过增加射孔LRLC油藏来恢复闲置井的活力。如果没有适当和改进的LRLC BCO评估流程,就不可能实现目标,因此,开发了一种集成的工作流程方法(包括岩石物理学家、油藏工程师、生产技术人员、资产管理人员和修井小组),并将其应用于该项目。为了改善LRLC储层的测井性质,开发了一种新的评价工具,称为REM(分辨率增强建模),使旧的常规工具获得的数据仍然可以用于评价LRLC储层。尽管LRLC被称为UNSEEN,但通过对油气柱和砂体发育的正确理解,可以降低风险。迄今为止,已有7个油田从这种方法中受益。例如,A油田的LRLC油藏的油气饱和度提高了两倍,使用REM后的净总比提高到20%,而不使用REM时的净总比为5%。其他6个油田的性能也有同样的提高。这使得该地区的累计潜在储量增加了440万桶/天,潜在收益约为11万桶/天。因此,可以从LRLC机会中产生更好和有吸引力的BCO提案。该作业将为公司提供更经济的选择,以评估和开发LRLC油藏,同时减少闲置井。没有更好的方法来了解LRLC储层;因为没有工具可以识别和量化它,而是从实际生产。

There is no better way of understanding LRLC reservoir; as no tools can identify & quantify it yet, rather from the actual production.","PeriodicalId":11267,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, March 28, 2019","volume":"231 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76435090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a case history application of real-time fiber-optic technology in the Bahrah oil field, onshore Kuwait. A primary challenge during openhole swellable packer completion operations with multistage fracturing is understanding the number of fractures induced in the formation, particularly in heterogeneous formations where the fracture pressure energy will be distributed along the openhole section. Therefore, fiber-optic technology was selected for the Bahrah project. The application consists in diagnosing a tight carbonate reservoir after multistage acid fracturing and milling the baffles of a production sleeve completion to obtain a well production profile. This technology consists of a fiber-optic cable and a modular sensing bottomhole assembly (BHA). The fiber-optic cable provides distributed temperature sensing (DTS), whereas the BHA is used to monitor pressure, temperature, and the casing collar locator (CCL) in real time. The usual procedure when using conventional coiled tubing (CT) to stimulate a carbonate openhole section is to treat all pay zones with acid and diverter, which increases both operation time and operational costs. In addition, inadequate control of the treatment placement will often result in ineffective stimulation. When using the fiber-optic technology, monitoring is performed by analyzing the distributed temperature profiles both before and after stimulation; the BHA helps ensure that the optimum pressure is maintained and that the fluid is placed accurately through depth correlation sensors. All components of this intervention are performed in a single trip, which reduces both costs and operation time. This paper presents an application that uses the modular sensing BHA to improve the performance of milling balls and baffles in the horizontal production sleeve completion. Afterward, DTS is used to diagnose the reservoir performance after multistage acid fracturing to identify fracture initiation points (FIPs). This assists in design optimization, provides better understanding of formation properties, and helps determine the flow rate distribution of each stage across the entire lateral. Another application uses DTS to obtain the production profile of a 3,286-ft horizontal section while flowing back the well through an electrical submersible pump (ESP). The paper presents the methodology and results of these applications. Using this technology in the petroleum industry helps reduce operation time by up to 50% as a result of performing various CT activities in a single run. This eliminates the need for additional logging or slickline runs using the same BHA, after performing the milling operation to collect DTS data for FIPs and flow rate distribution analysis in the same run. It also reduces costs by enabling real-time decision-making capabilities and effective stimulation.
本文介绍了实时光纤技术在科威特陆上Bahrah油田的应用实例。在裸眼可膨胀封隔器多级压裂完井作业中,一个主要的挑战是了解地层中产生的裂缝数量,特别是在非均质地层中,裂缝压力能将沿裸眼段分布。因此,Bahrah项目选择了光纤技术。该技术的应用包括在多级酸压裂后对致密碳酸盐岩储层进行诊断,并磨铣生产滑套完井挡板,以获得油井生产剖面。该技术由光纤电缆和模块化传感底部钻具组合(BHA)组成。光纤电缆提供分布式温度传感(DTS),而BHA用于实时监测压力、温度和套管接箍定位器(CCL)。使用常规连续油管(CT)增产碳酸盐岩裸眼井段时,通常的做法是在所有产层都使用酸和转喷剂,这既增加了作业时间,也增加了作业成本。此外,对处理位置的控制不足往往会导致无效的刺激。当使用光纤技术时,通过分析增产前后的分布温度曲线来进行监测;BHA有助于确保保持最佳压力,并通过深度相关传感器准确放置流体。该修井作业的所有组件都在一次起下钻中完成,从而降低了成本和作业时间。本文介绍了一种使用模块化传感BHA来改善水平井生产滑套完井中磨球和挡板性能的应用。随后,利用DTS对多级酸压裂后的储层动态进行诊断,以确定裂缝起裂点(FIPs)。这有助于优化设计,更好地了解地层性质,并有助于确定整个水平段的每级流量分布。另一项应用是利用DTS技术获取3286英尺水平段的生产剖面,同时通过电潜泵(ESP)进行回排。本文介绍了这些应用的方法和结果。在石油工业中使用该技术,由于在一次作业中进行了多种连续油管活动,可以将作业时间缩短50%。在完成磨铣作业后,为了FIPs和流量分布分析收集DTS数据,无需使用相同的BHA进行额外的测井或钢丝绳下入。它还通过实现实时决策能力和有效的增产措施来降低成本。
