While-drilling pore pressure surveillance enables timely responses to unexpected drilling events, e.g., wellbore instability, or to pressure changes that could impact mud weight requirements or casing depths. The real-time pressure surveillance and analytics (RT-PSA) system described herein aids while-drilling pressure surveillance by highlighting possible pressure trends and detecting pumps-off gas automatically. The system further assists pressure surveillance practitioners by automatically filtering for lithology and providing a visualization dashboard to highlight possible pressure trends. The pressure trending application calculates slopes/trends for LWD and mechanical data and uses these trends to indicate possible pressure trends along the well path using a heat map. A lithology filtering method has been developed using machine learning (ML) clustering algorithms to remove non-shale data, leaving only clay-rich shale lithology for pressure trending. The gas monitoring application aligns the gas curves back to the time and depth at which gas is liberated from the formation by the drill bit, called herein as at-the-bit curves. The application displays modified total gas, gas exponent, and gas ratio curves as at-the-bit curves. The gamma ray and resistivity LWD logs are also shifted back to the time/depth that the bit drilled the measured formations. Aligning the gas and formation log curves to be at-the-bit provides the pressure surveillance personnel with additional context beyond traditional gas surveillance data to classify gas measured at the surface as pumps-off-gas or formation gas. Results demonstrate that the lithology filtering method using machine learning is effective to filter out clay-rich shale. The pressure trending results are consistent with post-drill pore pressure evaluations generated by pressure prediction experts. The shifted total gas and pumps-off gas have been validated versus post-drill pressure analysis. The system is being deployed to mitigate well control events by improving and standardizing pressure surveillance best-practices across a global organization.
随钻孔隙压力监测能够及时响应意外钻井事件,例如井筒不稳定,或压力变化可能影响泥浆重量要求或套管深度。本文介绍的实时压力监测和分析(RT-PSA)系统通过突出可能的压力趋势并自动检测泵出气体,帮助进行钻井压力监测。该系统还通过自动过滤岩性,并提供可视化仪表板来突出可能的压力趋势,从而进一步协助压力监测从业者。压力趋势应用程序计算随钻测井和机械数据的斜率/趋势,并使用热图利用这些趋势来指示沿井径可能的压力趋势。利用机器学习(ML)聚类算法开发了一种岩性过滤方法,可以去除非页岩数据,只留下富含粘土的页岩岩性进行压力趋势分析。气体监测应用程序将气体曲线与钻头从地层中释放气体的时间和深度对齐,这里称为钻头曲线。该应用程序将修改后的总含气量、含气量指数和含气量比曲线显示为钻头曲线。伽马射线和电阻率随钻测井数据也会被转换回钻头钻探所测地层的时间/深度。将天然气和地层测井曲线对齐到钻头上,为压力监测人员提供了除了传统的气体监测数据之外的额外背景信息,可以将地面测量的气体分类为泵出气体或地层气体。结果表明,基于机器学习的岩性过滤方法能够有效滤除富泥页岩。压力趋势结果与压力预测专家的钻后孔隙压力评价结果一致。通过钻后压力分析,验证了总气和泵出气的变化。通过改进和标准化全球组织的压力监测最佳实践,该系统被用于减轻井控事件。

Ensuring a proper apple to apple comparison is a challenge in drilling performance evaluation. When assessing the effect of a particular drilling technology, such as bit, bottomhole assembly (BHA) or mud type, on the rate of penetration (ROP) or other drilling performance criteria, all other factors must be fixed to truly isolate the effect. Traditionally, performance evaluation starts with manual identification of reasonably similar entities, such as drilling runs or well sections by means of numerous selection criteria; e.g., location, depths, inclinations, drilling conditions, tools, etc. The selected drilling performance metrics are then compared using statistical analysis techniques with various extents of thoroughness. Such analyses are laborious and are usually limited to just a handful of cases due to practical reasons and time constraints. Furthermore, the analyses are difficult to apply to large data sets of hundreds or thousands of wells, and there is always a risk of missing an important combination of factors where the effect is important. Therefore, conclusions based on these analyses may well be insufficiently justified or even confirmation biased, leading to suboptimal technical and business decisions. This paper presents a combined machine learning and statistical analysis workflow addressing these challenges. The workflow a) discovers similar entities (wells, intervals, runs) in big datasets; b) extracts subsets of similar entities (i.e., "apples") for evaluation; c) applies rigorous statistical tests to quantify the effect (mud type, BHA type, bit type) on a metric (ROP, success rate) and its statistical significance; and, finally, d) returns information on areas, sets of conditions where the effect is pronounced (or not). In the statistical analysis workflow, the user first specifies the drilling technology of interest and drilling performance metrics, and then defines factors and parameters to be fixed to better isolate the effect of the drilling technology. The historical data on thousands of entities are then preprocessed, and the entities are clustered by similarities in the multitude of factors by the k-means algorithm. Statistical tests are performed automatically on each cluster, quantifying the magnitude of technology effect on performance criteria, and calculating p-values as the measure of statistical significance of the effect. The results are presented in a series of clustering observations that summarize the effects and allow for zooming into the clusters to review drilling parameters and to perform further in-depth analysis, if necessary. All steps of the workflow are presented in this paper, including data processing details, and reasons for selecting specific clustering algorithms and statistical tests. Several examples of the successful applications of the workflow to actual drilling data for thousands of wells are provided, focusing on the effects of BHA, steering tools, and drilling muds on drilling perf
在钻井性能评估中,确保适当的同类比较是一个挑战。在评估特定钻井技术(如钻头、底部钻具组合(BHA)或泥浆类型)对机械钻速(ROP)或其他钻井性能标准的影响时,必须确定所有其他因素,以真正隔离影响。传统上,性能评估是从人工识别合理相似的实体开始的,例如通过许多选择标准来识别钻井班次或井段;例如,位置、深度、斜度、钻井条件、工具等。然后使用统计分析技术对选定的钻井性能指标进行比较,这些指标具有不同程度的彻底性。这样的分析是费力的,并且由于实际原因和时间限制,通常仅限于少数几个案例。此外,这些分析很难应用于数百或数千口井的大型数据集,并且总是存在遗漏重要因素组合的风险,而这些因素的影响很重要。因此,基于这些分析的结论很可能是不充分的,甚至是有偏见的,从而导致次优的技术和业务决策。本文提出了一种结合机器学习和统计分析的工作流程来解决这些挑战。工作流a)在大数据集中发现相似的实体(井、井段、井段);B)提取相似实体(即“苹果”)的子集进行评估;c)采用严格的统计测试来量化(泥浆类型、底部钻具组合类型、钻头类型)对指标(ROP、成功率)的影响及其统计显著性;最后,d)返回有关区域的信息,即效果明显(或不明显)的条件集。在统计分析工作流程中,用户首先指定感兴趣的钻井技术和钻井性能指标,然后定义要固定的因素和参数,以便更好地隔离钻井技术的效果。然后对数千个实体的历史数据进行预处理,并通过k-means算法根据众多因素的相似性对实体进行聚类。在每个集群上自动执行统计测试,量化技术对性能标准的影响程度,并计算p值作为影响的统计显著性的度量。结果以一系列聚类观察的形式呈现,这些聚类观察总结了影响,并允许放大聚类以查看钻井参数,并在必要时进行进一步的深入分析。本文介绍了工作流的所有步骤,包括数据处理的细节,以及选择特定聚类算法和统计测试的原因。本文给出了将该工作流程成功应用于数千口井的实际钻井数据的几个例子,重点介绍了BHA、转向工具和钻井泥浆对钻井性能的影响。这种独特的方法可用于改进其他钻井性能评估工作流程。

Strategies for Prevention of Downhole Tool Failure Caused by High Bottomhole Temperature in Geothermal and HPHT Oil and Gas Wells 地热、高温油气井井底温度过高导致井下工具失效的预防策略

High bottom hole temperature can lead to decreased downhole tool life in geothermal and high temperature / high pressure (HPHT) oil and gas wells. The temperature increase is exacerbated when circulation stops, e.g., during connection, tripping, well control situations, etc. While continuous circulation technology is an appropriate solution for managing temperature, it is not yet widely adopted in HPHT and geothermal drilling practices. This work investigates factors that impact downhole temperature and recommends strategies to better manage the temperature when continuous circulation is not available. An integrated thermo-hydraulic model was developed to capture the transient behavior of downhole temperature and was applied here to study the transient temperature profile when there is no fluid circulation. The model was validated using the open-source FORGE field dataset, with the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) between 1-4%. In addition, hundreds of case scenarios were numerically studied to investigate the impact of several key factors on the downhole temperature. The evaluated factors include the pump-off time, type and physical properties of the drilling fluid, wellbore hydraulic diameter, reservoir temperature, geothermal gradient, total wellbore depth and profile, and operational parameters prior to stopping the circulation. The cooling effects of different drilling parameters were compared to a benchmark case of continuous circulation. A correlation map was generated to visualize the impact of those parameters on the downhole temperature distribution when circulation stops. A logarithmic relationship between the pump stop time and the downhole temperature was observed. For the FORGE case scenario, the downhole temperature increases by 27 °C and 48 °C after the pump stops for 30 and 60 minutes, respectively. It was observed that water-based mud with a high viscosity increases fluid convection heat resistance between the formation and wellbore. Also, drilling with a higher flow rate before stopping the pump can cool the near-wellbore formation faster and reduces the downhole temperature even after circulation ceases. Wells with high geothermal gradients, like FORGE wells, have higher temperature build-up during circulation stoppage than wells with low geothermal gradients targeting the same reservoir (formation) in-situ temperature. This study investigates the efficacy of different cooling strategies to avoid downhole temperature build-up when there is no circulation. It thereby facilitates the optimization of geothermal and HPHT well design and construction to prevent downhole tool failures. The developed correlation map can aid drilling engineers understand the impact of different drilling conditions on the downhole temperature.
在地热和高温高压(HPHT)油气井中,井底温度过高会导致井下工具寿命缩短。当循环停止时,例如在连接、起下钻、井控等情况下,温度升高会加剧。虽然连续循环技术是一种合适的温度管理方案,但在高温高压和地热钻井实践中尚未得到广泛应用。这项工作调查了影响井下温度的因素,并提出了在无法进行连续循环时更好地控制温度的策略。为了捕捉井下温度的瞬态行为,建立了一个集成的热-水力模型,并将其应用于无流体循环时的瞬态温度分布。该模型使用开源FORGE现场数据集进行验证,平均绝对百分比误差(MAPE)在1-4%之间。此外,还对数百种情况进行了数值研究,以研究几个关键因素对井下温度的影响。评估因素包括停泵时间、钻井液类型和物理性质、井筒水力直径、储层温度、地热梯度、井筒总深度和剖面以及停止循环前的操作参数。以连续循环为基准,对比了不同钻井参数的冷却效果。当循环停止时,这些参数对井下温度分布的影响会生成相关图。停泵时间与井下温度呈对数关系。在FORGE情况下,泵停泵30分钟和60分钟后,井下温度分别升高27°C和48°C。研究发现,高粘度的水基泥浆增加了地层与井筒之间的流体对流热阻。此外,在停止泵之前以更高的流量进行钻井,可以更快地冷却近井地层,即使在循环停止后也能降低井下温度。在相同的储层(地层)原位温度条件下,高地温梯度井(如FORGE井)在循环停止时的温度累积高于低地温梯度井。本研究考察了不同冷却策略的有效性,以避免在没有循环的情况下井下温度升高。因此,它有助于优化地热和高温高压井的设计和施工,以防止井下工具失效。开发的相关图可以帮助钻井工程师了解不同钻井条件对井下温度的影响。

The energy industry is undergoing a digital transformation, whose goals include increased operational efficiency and reduced energy extraction costs. Data science and machine learning (ML) are enabling the drilling engineering community to contribute to the success of these goals. An ML-based digital solution has been developed to assist the drilling engineer select an optimum bottomhole assembly (BHA) and drilling fluid technology during the well design phase. Traditionally, these selections depended on offset well analysis, which is a manual and time-consuming undertaking. As an alternative, the new digital solution, launched in the form of a web app, automatically selects similar offset wells, and evaluates the available BHA and drilling fluid options from those similar wells. The web app displays these options to the drilling engineer, who is now empowered to make fully informed data-driven decisions. To power the new digital solution, an extensive effort was made to gather, clean, and prepare global operational data into a new database. This operational database includes the selection decisions and performance results of drill bits, motor power sections, rotary steerable systems, BHA configurations, and drilling fluids. After the drilling engineer defines the parameters of the planned drilling run, a multidimensional distance-based approach is used to automatically select the most similar previous drilling runs within the context of the technology selection. The drilling engineer can also fine tune the offset selection based on experience using filters in the web app. Once the most similar offset runs are determined, the technology selection decisions are scored for numerous key performance indicators (KPIs). These KPIs, along with user-defined weights, drive the overall scores. Finally, technology selection recommendations are based on the overall scores and other contextual data such as local availability and cost. The new digital solution has been deployed to a global group of drilling engineers. Feedback sessions are held regularly, and the development team uses this feedback to rapidly iterate and improve user experience. While today's drilling engineers have access to a vast amount of data and information, it often cannot be used in a practical and efficient way. The new solution places all previous drilling system technology selection choices and results into the hands of the drilling engineers, allowing them to make their best decisions. This approach demonstrates how ML and innovative software deployment methods can truly assist the human decision-making process and succeed in accomplishing the goals of digital transformation. To our knowledge, this is a unique approach to drilling system design optimization.

能源行业正在经历数字化转型,其目标包括提高运营效率和降低能源开采成本。数据科学和机器学习(ML)使钻井工程界能够为实现这些目标做出贡献。该公司开发了一种基于ml的数字解决方案,以帮助钻井工程师在井设计阶段选择最佳的底部钻具组合(BHA)和钻井液技术。传统上,这些选择依赖于邻井分析,这是一项人工且耗时的工作。作为替代方案,新的数字解决方案以web应用程序的形式推出,自动选择类似的邻井,并评估这些类似井的可用BHA和钻井液选择。web应用程序将这些选项显示给钻井工程师,他们现在可以根据数据做出充分的决策。为了支持新的数字解决方案,我们做了大量的工作来收集、清理全球运营数据,并将其准备到一个新的数据库中。该操作数据库包括钻头、马达动力部分、旋转导向系统、BHA配置和钻井液的选择决策和性能结果。在钻井工程师确定了计划钻进的参数后,在技术选择的背景下,使用基于多维距离的方法自动选择最相似的先前钻进。钻井工程师还可以根据在web应用程序中使用过滤器的经验微调偏移量选择。一旦确定了最相似的偏移量,就可以根据许多关键性能指标(kpi)对技术选择决策进行评分。这些kpi以及用户定义的权重决定了总体得分。最后,技术选择建议是基于总体得分和其他上下文数据,如本地可用性和成本。新的数字解决方案已被部署到全球钻井工程师团队中。定期举行反馈会议,开发团队使用这些反馈来快速迭代和改进用户体验。虽然当今的钻井工程师可以获得大量的数据和信息,但这些数据和信息往往不能以一种实用而有效的方式使用。新的解决方案将所有以前的钻井系统技术选择和结果都交给了钻井工程师,使他们能够做出最佳决策。这种方法展示了机器学习和创新的软件部署方法如何真正帮助人类决策过程,并成功实现数字化转型的目标。据我们所知,这是一种独特的钻井系统设计优化方法。该方法不仅是独一无二的,而且作为这项工作的一部分开发的数据库可能是业内最大的钻井作业数据库。本文介绍了项目的所有阶段,包括数据库创建、数据准备、ML模型的开发以及用户界面的创建和迭代的细节。最后,本文提出了这一努力的未来,作为公司愿景的一部分,成为我们客户选择的性能合作伙伴。

Abandonment Barrier Placement with Novel Analysis Spells Success in Deepwater 采用新颖的分析方法进行弃置障碍定位,为深水作业带来成功

A major Deepwater operator in the Gulf of Mexico needed to set a 330 ft cross sectional cement barrier in 13 5/8" × 20" casing. This well in over 6, 000 ft+ MD water depth required a cement barrier placed just above the 20" casing shoe in order to meet the qualifications to plug and abandon the well. The 13 5/8" Perf/Wash/Cement system was the best solution to circulate/place cement in a controlled and focused area. The 330 ft long section was planned to be washed and cemented in one run and verified by pressure testing and tagging top of cement. Careful study of Cement Bond Logs and fluid hydraulic calculations was shared in extensive meetings with product experts, engineers, and other 3rd party vendors involved with the job. This novel analysis, great teamwork and a fit for purpose tool helped ensure that the job was successfully completed. The 13 5/8" Perforate, Wash and Cement Tool was successfully deployed for washing and cementing of the interval with even rates at 1200 lpm. After performing the operation the Operator tagged top of cement 6 feet above planned height which proved our analysis and calculations, and a confirmed positive/negative test allowed them to move on with the completion of the plug and abandonment of the well. This was the first operation of its kind in Deepwater Gulf of Mexico and proved to be a viable solution to accurately place an approved and quality cement job behind casing free of unwanted debris that could create micro annuli. This type of operation requires thorough analysis and calculations to ensure the well conditions and tool are fit for purpose and will result in a successful operation. This achievement was the precursor to many more jobs that are suited for this application in the region.
墨西哥湾的一家大型深水作业公司需要在13 5/8”× 20”套管中设置330英尺的横截面水泥屏障。这口井位于水深6000英尺以上,需要在20英寸套管鞋上方放置水泥屏障,以满足封井和弃井的要求。13 5/8”射孔/清洗/固井系统是在受控和集中区域循环/放置水泥的最佳解决方案。330英尺长的井段计划在一次下入中进行清洗和固井,并通过压力测试和标记水泥顶部进行验证。在与产品专家、工程师和其他第三方供应商的广泛会议上,他们分享了对水泥胶结测井和流体水力计算的仔细研究。这种新颖的分析、出色的团队合作和符合目的的工具帮助确保了工作的成功完成。13 5/8”射孔、洗井和固井工具成功完成了层段的洗井和固井作业,作业速度为每分钟1200升。作业完成后,作业者在高于计划高度6英尺的水泥顶部进行了标记,这证明了我们的分析和计算结果,确认的阳性/阴性测试使他们能够继续完成封井和弃井。这是在墨西哥湾深水湾进行的第一次此类作业,并被证明是一种可行的解决方案,可以准确地在套管后面放置经过批准的高质量固井作业,而不会产生不必要的碎片,从而产生微环空。这种类型的作业需要进行彻底的分析和计算,以确保井况和工具适合目的,并最终成功完成作业。这一成就是该地区更多适合该应用的工作的先驱。

The highly productive Permian Basin requires wells with high dogleg severity (DLS) curve and long lateral sections. After many years of development and participation by all major industry players, most 8.5in size wells are still being drilled using two bottomhole assemblies (BHAs); one for the curve and a second for the extended lateral section. This increases cost, time, and risks. With development of our new solution, curve and lateral sections of Permian wells can now be consistently drilled in one run. Using in-house digital modeling and dynamic drilling simulation software of the complete drilling system and complex lithology profiles, design attributes were evaluated for directional performance before initial prototypes were created. These models increased efficiency and cost savings in the design process. Analysis revealed that shortening the distance from the RSS pad actuators to the bit (L1), increases the build-rate capability, increases the DLS output in the curve section, and provides tight trajectory control in long laterals. The system design also has a proprietary bit box connection and polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutters on the bias unit. Prototype testing was done on high-DLS curve and lateral wells with major operators delivering wells per client requirements. The new solution successfully landed high DLS curve sections in 14 wells. The solution achieved a new milestone of delivering the 8.5-in curve on target and much faster than the conventional motor in the same application. After the curve sections the same BHA drilled into the long lateral section without making a trip between the curve and lateral sections. Several records were broken in some of these 14 wells, including 19% more daily footage than the previous record. Almost all these wells were also drilled using a remote operations center utilizing latest digital capabilities, reducing onsite footprint. Based on the most conservative figures from field test results and projected usage, the increased efficiency and faster well delivery time can significantly impact sustainability, reducing CO2 emissions per well drilled by this new solution.
二叠纪盆地的高产井要求具有高狗腿曲线(DLS)和长水平段的井。经过多年的发展和所有主要行业参与者的参与,大多数8.5英寸井仍然使用两个底部钻具组合(bha)钻进;一个用于曲线,另一个用于延伸的横向部分。这会增加成本、时间和风险。随着我们新解决方案的发展,二叠纪井的曲线段和水平段现在可以一次钻进。利用内部的完整钻井系统和复杂岩性剖面的数字建模和动态钻井仿真软件,在创建初始原型之前,对设计属性进行了定向性能评估。这些模型在设计过程中提高了效率并节省了成本。分析表明,缩短RSS垫作动器到L1钻头的距离,可以提高造斜速率,增加曲线段的DLS输出,并在长水平段提供严密的轨迹控制。该系统设计还具有专有的钻头盒连接和偏置单元上的聚晶金刚石紧凑型(PDC)切削齿。在高dls曲线和水平井上进行了原型测试,主要作业者根据客户的要求进行了测试。新的解决方案成功地在14口井中获得了高DLS曲线段。该解决方案实现了一个新的里程碑,即实现了8.5英寸曲线的目标,并且在相同的应用中比传统电机快得多。在完井曲线段后,同一套BHA钻进了长水平段,无需在曲线段和水平段之间起下钻。在这14口井中,有几口井打破了多项记录,包括比之前的记录增加了19%的日进尺。几乎所有这些井都使用了远程操作中心,利用最新的数字技术,减少了现场占地面积。根据最保守的现场测试结果和预计使用情况,效率的提高和更快的井交付时间可以显著影响可持续性,减少每口井的二氧化碳排放。

Continuous Improvement for Offshore Plug and Abandonment, a Case Study from Egypt Offshore 海上桥塞弃井的持续改进——以埃及海上为例

Setting cement plugs is a critical operation, often not getting the required attention and potentially resulting in lost time. For example, while drilling an exploratory well offshore Egypt in the North Ras el Ash block, special attention was given early in the well's design phase to the wellbore abandonment to be executed after reaching the well target and achieving all well's objectives. As part of the continuous improvement, a detailed after-action review (AAR) took the place of the abandonment of the previous exploration well in the same field ahead of spud. All applicable lessons learned were identified and worked out in easy-to-implement steps to improve the chances of a successful abandonment meeting all company and regulatory requirements. The AAR addressed all aspects of the abandonment, including cement slurry design and laboratory testing, cement plug placement and operational rig procedures, and post-placement activities that could impact the cement plug and, in the worst case, could lead to not meeting abandonment requirements. All plugs to be verified by a positive and negative pressure test were simulated using proprietary software. The simulation results would predict the cement plug bonding to the formation or casing during and after the positive and negative tests. To overcome any damage in the sealing capability of the plug, those plugs were designed so that the slurry would expand during the cement setting phase. In addition, detailed laboratory tests were run to optimize the cement slurry design at actual downhole conditions. Special attention was given to formation pressures and possible losses or influx after cutting and retrieving the intermediate casing. Certain shales are gas-bearing formations but with very low permeability and very low capability to deliver gas to the wellbore. During the drilling phase, this is not considered a high risk and was easily managed with drilling fluids. However, while setting plugs, a small influx of gas can percolate through the cement plug creating a potential leak path. Correct placement in the field is equally important to a good design. The plug placement was simulated to minimize contamination during placement for plugs. Optimum spacer volume, underdisplacement, and the use of mechanical separators were optimized to achieve the plug and abandonment (P&A) objectives. Pull out of hole (POOH) was designed to minimize disturbance of the cement plug and circulation at top of cement (TOC) was performed without disturbing the cement/spacer interface. All the effort placed into the well abandonment during the well design phase paid out during the execution. A total of five cement plugs were planned. The plugs were tagged and tested achieving all the abandonment requirements successfully. No repeat plugs were required.
坐封水泥塞是一项关键的作业,通常没有得到足够的重视,可能会浪费时间。例如,在埃及北部Ras el Ash区块钻探一口勘探井时,在井的设计阶段早期就特别关注了在达到井目标并实现所有井目标后执行的弃井作业。作为持续改进的一部分,详细的事后评估(AAR)取代了在开钻前放弃同一油田的前一口勘探井。所有适用的经验教训都被识别出来,并以易于实施的步骤制定出来,以提高成功放弃的机会,满足所有公司和监管要求。AAR解决了弃井作业的所有方面,包括水泥浆设计和实验室测试、水泥塞放置和钻机操作程序,以及可能影响水泥塞的放置后活动,在最坏的情况下,可能导致无法满足弃井要求。所有需要通过正负压测试验证的桥塞都使用专有软件进行了模拟。模拟结果可以预测水泥塞在测试中和测试后与地层或套管的胶结情况。为了克服桥塞密封能力的任何损害,这些桥塞的设计使得泥浆在固井阶段会膨胀。此外,还进行了详细的实验室测试,以优化实际井下条件下的水泥浆设计。特别要注意的是地层压力以及切割和回收中间套管后可能出现的损失或流入。某些页岩是含气地层,但渗透率非常低,向井筒输送气体的能力非常低。在钻井阶段,这种风险并不高,而且很容易用钻井液进行处理。然而,在坐封桥塞时,少量气体会通过水泥塞渗透,形成潜在的泄漏通道。正确的位置对于一个好的设计来说同样重要。模拟了桥塞的放置过程,以尽量减少桥塞放置过程中的污染。为了实现封隔和弃井(P&A)的目标,优化了最佳的封隔器体积、欠排量和机械分离器的使用。出井(POOH)的设计是为了最大限度地减少水泥塞的干扰,并且在不干扰水泥/隔离剂界面的情况下进行水泥顶部循环(TOC)。在井设计阶段投入的所有弃井工作都在执行过程中得到了回报。总共计划了5个水泥塞。对桥塞进行了标记和测试,成功达到了所有弃井要求。无需重复插入。

Combining Best-in-Class Surveying Measurements to Provide the Most Accurate Wellbore Position 结合一流的测量测量,提供最精确的井筒位置

A survey program is designed for every well drilled to meet the well objective of penetrating the target reservoir and avoiding colliding with other offset wells. The selection of the wellbore survey tools within the survey program is limited in number and accuracy by the current surveying technologies available in the industry. This article demonstrates how a higher level of accuracy can be achieved to meet challenging well objectives when the accuracy of the most accurate wellbore surveying technology individually is not sufficient. This highest level of wellbore positioning accuracy to date is achieved by combing two wellbore positions of the same wellbore trajectory. The first wellbore position is calculated using the latest technology of magnetic Measurement-While-Drilling (MWD) Definitive Dynamic Surveys (DDS). The accuracy of the MWD DDS has been enhanced by correcting potential error sources such as misalignment of the survey package from the borehole, drill-string magnetic interference and limited global geomagnetic reference and accelerometer sensor accuracy. Further, the MWD DDS inclination accuracy is improved using an independent inclination measurement from the Rotary Steerable System (RSS). Hence the first position is derived from magnetic MWD DDS after applying In-Field Referencing (IFR), Multi-Station Analysis (MSA), Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) sag correction (SAG), and Dual-Inclination (DI) corrections. A Second wellbore position is calculated using the latest technology in Gyro-measurement-While-Drilling (GWD). The results and comparisons of multiple runs are presented. The highest accuracy of wellbore positioning had been proven in successful case studies by penetrating a very small reservoir target on an extended reach well that was unfeasible using either the most accurate enhanced MWD DDS or the latest GWD technology. The presented case study shows how the wellbore objectives of penetrating the tight target reservoir had been confirmed by Logging-While-Drilling (LWD) images and interpretation of the subsurface team. This gave the highest accuracy of the wellbore position accuracy to date while drilling assured placing the well with higher confidence to maximize reservoir production without colliding with nearby offset wells. In reservoir sections, the wellbore survey accuracy limits boreholes' lateral and true vertical depth spacing, constraining reservoir production. In the top and intermediate sections, wellbore survey accuracy limits how close the well can be drilled in the proximity of other offset wells. This directly impacts the complexity of the directional work and the cost per drilled foot. This technique unlocks the potential to improve the wellbore positioning accuracy significantly. It demonstrates the highest wellbore positioning accuracy achieved to date when compared to the latest magnetic MWD surveys after correcting all known errors compared to the GWD.
每口井都设计了一套测量方案,以满足穿透目标储层和避免与其他邻井发生碰撞的井目标。由于目前行业中可用的测量技术,在测量程序中,井眼测量工具的选择在数量和精度上都受到限制。本文演示了当最精确的井眼测量技术的精度不够时,如何实现更高的精度,以满足具有挑战性的井眼目标。迄今为止,这种最高水平的井眼定位精度是通过结合相同井眼轨迹的两个井眼位置来实现的。第一个井眼位置是使用最新的随钻磁测量(MWD)确定动态测量(DDS)技术计算的。通过校正潜在的误差源,如测量包与井眼的不对准、钻柱的磁干扰以及有限的全球地磁参考和加速度计传感器精度,MWD DDS的精度得到了提高。此外,利用来自旋转导向系统(RSS)的独立倾角测量,MWD DDS的倾角精度得到了提高。因此,在应用现场参考(IFR)、多站分析(MSA)、底部钻具组合(BHA)下陷校正(sag)和双倾角校正(DI)后,通过磁性随钻DDS获得第一个位置。第二个井眼位置是使用最新的随钻陀螺仪测量(GWD)技术计算的。给出了多次运行的结果和比较。在成功的案例研究中,通过在大位移井中穿透非常小的储层目标,证明了最高的井眼定位精度,而使用最精确的增强型MWD DDS或最新的GWD技术都是不可行的。该案例研究展示了如何通过随钻测井(LWD)图像和地下团队的解释来确定穿透致密目标储层的井眼目标。该系统提供了迄今为止最高的井眼定位精度,同时确保了钻井的置信度,从而最大限度地提高了油藏产量,而不会与附近的邻井发生碰撞。在油藏段,井眼测量精度限制了井眼的横向和垂直深度间距,限制了油藏的产量。在顶部和中间段,井眼测量精度限制了该井与其他邻井之间的钻进距离。这直接影响了定向工作的复杂性和每钻英尺的成本。该技术可以显著提高井眼定位精度。在修正了与GWD相比的所有已知误差后,与最新的磁随钻测量相比,它展示了迄今为止最高的井眼定位精度。

Building a System to Solve the Challenges of Drilling Hot Hard Rock for Geothermal and Oil and Gas 构建解决地热和油气热硬岩钻探挑战的体系

Geothermal energy is gaining attention worldwide as an attractive and vastly underutilized renewable energy source due to its abundance, baseload capability, resiliency, and reliability. While there are many types of geothermal energy concepts, the holy grail of geothermal – that would enable geothermal drilling and production in most places in the world – is hard rock or superhot rock concepts. Developing these systems requires drilling into granitic basement formations, often at temperatures exceeding 300º C. There are two main technological challenges associated with hard, hot rock concepts. Firstly, very hard rock, such as granite or basalt, limits the rate of penetration (ROP). Secondly, the temperature of the drilling system exceeds the operational limits of electronic tools like measurement while drilling (MWD) and Rotary Steerable. This paper discusses the modeling, design, and testing of a drilling system that solves both challenges. Our approach to the ROP problem was to optimize the drilling system for drilling cold hard rock from 0º to 175º C and optimize the system for drilling hot hard rock where temperatures exceed 175º C. We will discuss the design and performance of both PDC drill bits and Hybrid Particle Impact/PDC bits in hard rock formations and the best application of the two methodologies moving forward. Our approach to the temperature problem was to model the entire wellbore and drillstring and investigate the effects of, but not limited to, the starting temperature of the fluid, flow rate of the fluid, type of fluid, impact of the thickness, type of insulation on the inside of the drillpipe, the diameter of the pipe, and continuous circulation. The objective of the modeling was to understand the relative impact of changes to the system on the temperature of the drilling fluid and the most cost-effective way to deliver a 150º C fluid to the bottom of the hole. This paper will discuss the results, observations, and conclusions of testing and running PDC drill bits and Particle Impact Drilling/PDC hybrids in hard formations. The results will derive from lab testing and geothermal drilling projects. The paper will also discuss the field testing and running of components of a drilling system optimized to deliver as cool a fluid as possible to the bottom of the wellbore. The results shown in this paper suggest that we have solved, or are very close to solving, two of the major challenges which prevent geothermal energy from being economically viable worldwide and not just restricted to the small geographic areas where you have very high temperature gradients associated with volcanic activity. The results would also have significant benefits for oil and gas wells where the bottom hole temperatures exceed 175º C.
地热能由于其丰富、基本负荷能力、弹性和可靠性,作为一种有吸引力但未充分利用的可再生能源,正受到全世界的关注。虽然有许多类型的地热能源概念,但地热的圣杯——能够在世界上大多数地方进行地热钻探和生产——是硬岩或超热岩概念。开发这些系统需要钻入花岗岩基底地层,通常温度超过300℃。与硬热岩石概念相关的主要技术挑战有两个。首先,非常坚硬的岩石,如花岗岩或玄武岩,限制了钻速(ROP)。其次,钻井系统的温度超过了随钻测量(MWD)和旋转导向(Rotary steeable)等电子工具的工作极限。本文讨论了解决这两个挑战的钻井系统的建模、设计和测试。我们解决机械钻速问题的方法是优化钻遇0 ~ 175℃冷硬岩的钻井系统,优化钻遇温度超过175℃的热硬岩的钻井系统。我们将讨论PDC钻头和混合颗粒冲击/PDC钻头在硬岩层中的设计和性能,以及这两种方法的最佳应用。我们解决温度问题的方法是对整个井筒和钻柱进行建模,并研究流体的起始温度、流体的流速、流体类型、厚度、钻杆内部的绝缘类型、管径和连续循环的影响,但不限于这些因素。建模的目的是了解系统变化对钻井液温度的相对影响,以及将150℃的钻井液送入井底的最经济有效的方法。本文将讨论PDC钻头和颗粒冲击钻井/PDC复合钻头在硬地层中的测试和运行结果、观察结果和结论。结果将来自实验室测试和地热钻探项目。本文还将讨论钻井系统组件的现场测试和运行,该系统经过优化,可以将尽可能低的流体输送到井筒底部。本文显示的结果表明,我们已经解决了,或者非常接近解决了两个主要挑战,这两个挑战阻碍了地热能在全球范围内的经济可行性,而不仅仅局限于与火山活动相关的温度梯度非常高的小地理区域。对于井底温度超过175℃的油气井来说,这一结果也将带来显著的好处。

While there are many types of geothermal energy concepts, the holy grail of geothermal – that would enable geothermal drilling and production in most places in the world – is hard rock or superhot rock concepts. Developing these systems requires drilling into granitic basement formations, often at temperatures exceeding 300º C. There are two main technological challenges associated with hard, hot rock concepts. Firstly, very hard rock, such as granite or basalt, limits the rate of penetration (ROP). Secondly, the temperature of the drilling system exceeds the operational limits of electronic tools like measurement while drilling (MWD) and Rotary Steerable. This paper discusses the modeling, design, and testing of a drilling system that solves both challenges.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Our approach to the ROP problem was to optimize the drilling system for drilling cold hard rock from 0º to 175º C and optimize the system for drilling hot hard rock where temperatures exceed 175º C. We will discuss the design and performance of both PDC drill bits and Hybrid Particle Impact/PDC bits in hard rock formations and the best application of the two methodologies moving forward. Our approach to the temperature problem was to model the entire wellbore and drillstring and investigate the effects of, but not limited to, the starting temperature of the fluid, flow rate of the fluid, type of fluid, impact of the thickness, type of insulation on the inside of the drillpipe, the diameter of the pipe, and continuous circulation. The objective of the modeling was to understand the relative impact of changes to the system on the temperature of the drilling fluid and the most cost-effective way to deliver a 150º C fluid to the bottom of the hole.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 This paper will discuss the results, observations, and conclusions of testing and running PDC drill bits and Particle Impact Drilling/PDC hybrids in hard formations.

The bonding properties between a sealant and steel casing are an important component of well barrier. However, there is no consent about how sealing materials should be tested and qualified, and the understandings around the bonding interface and its mechanisms of failure remains uncertain. A custom setup and a systematic interface analysis procedure was established to test the hydraulic bond sealing properties of different sealants, and to investigate their interface with a L80-Cr13 steel casing. The results of hydraulic bond sealability was correlated with macro and microstructural evidence of the bonding interface to understand the behavior and the performance of class G cement and a geopolymer recipes. The geopolymer recipe showed improved sealing performance in relation to class G cement. The interface analysis suggests that, in addition to the mechanical interlocking mechanism, the geopolymer sealant has a strong bond with the coating of the steel casing, as a secondary adhesion mechanism. Understanding the interface and the mechanisms of failure may be the key to further develop current and future sealants, and to reduce risk of leak and to reduce cost with well intervention in P&A operations.
密封胶与钢套管之间的粘结性能是井眼屏障的重要组成部分。然而,对于密封材料应如何测试和鉴定尚无一致意见,对粘结界面及其破坏机制的理解仍不确定。为了测试不同密封胶的水力粘结密封性能,并研究其与L80-Cr13钢套管的界面关系,建立了一套定制的实验装置和系统的界面分析程序。将水力黏结性能的结果与黏结界面的宏观和微观结构证据相关联,以了解G类水泥和地聚合物配方的行为和性能。与G类水泥相比,该配方具有更好的密封性能。界面分析表明,地聚合物密封胶除了具有机械联锁机制外,还与钢套管涂层具有较强的粘结作用,为二级粘附机制。了解界面和失效机制可能是进一步开发当前和未来密封胶的关键,也是降低封堵弃井作业中泄漏风险和降低干预成本的关键。
