Wellbore instability, particularly in shale formations, is regarded as a major challenge in drilling operations. Many factors, such as rock properties, in-situ stresses, chemical interactions between shale and drilling fluids, and thermal effects, should be considered in well trajectory designs and drilling fluid formulations in order to mitigate wellbore instability-related problems. A comprehensive study of wellbore stability in shale formations that takes into account the three-dimensional earth stresses around the wellbore as well as chemical and thermal effects is presented in this work. The effects of borehole configuration (e.g. inclination and azimuth), rock properties (e.g. strength, Young's modulus, membrane efficiency and permeability), temperature and drilling fluid properties (e.g. mud density and chemical concentrations) on wellbore stability in shale formations have been investigated. Results from this study indicate that for low-permeability shales, chemical interactions between the shale and water-based fluids play an important role. Not only is the activity of the water important but the diffusion of ions is also a significant factor for saline fluids. The cooling of drilling fluids is found to be beneficial in preventing compressive failure. However, decreasing the mud temperature can be detrimental since it reduces the fracturing pressure of the formation, which can result in lost-circulation problems. The magnitude of thermal effects depends on shale properties, earth stresses and wellbore orientation and deviation. Conditions are identified when chemical and thermal effects play a significant role in determining the mud-weight window when designing drilling programmes for horizontal and deviated wells. The results presented in this paper will help in reducing the risks associated with wellbore instability and thereby lowering the overall non-productive times and drilling costs. 相似文献

科学钻探深井结晶岩处在高地应力、高地层压力和高地温的“三高”环境中,自身的结构特征和物化特性会发生根本性变化,因温度变化引起的应力变化极易导致井壁失稳。本文依据温压耦合影响下坍塌压力和破裂压力计算模式,确定不同井壁温度下的安全钻井液密度窗口,通过FLAC3D开展温压耦合影响下井壁稳定数值模拟,分析在不同钻井液密度下井眼打开后不同时间的井壁周边温度和井壁稳定变化情况。结果表明:地层弹性参数对地层破裂压力的影响较大,对于花岗岩此类弹性模量较大的结晶岩,温度变化对破裂压力影响更大;井壁处附加应力受温度变化的影响程度:附加周向应力>附加径向应力>附加垂向应力;在最小主应力方向的井壁周边地层等效应力与钻井液密度呈正比关系,在最大主应力方向呈反比关系。 相似文献

针对钻井工程常遇的层理性地层,以应力张量坐标转换关系和井孔应力集中方程为基础,引入弱面剪切滑动和岩体Mogi-Coulomb双强度准则,建立了分析层理性地层井壁稳定性的模型。对含层理弱面的典型油气储层中钻井的合理钻井液密度和安全钻井方向进行研究,结果表明:层理面的存在加剧了井壁围岩的破坏,且改变了围岩破坏的位置;水平井坍塌压力随着钻井方向变化而连续性变化,其在特定钻井方向取得最小坍塌压力;斜井取得最小坍塌压力的方位与层理面在空间中并不垂直,空间中关于主平面对称的斜井破裂压力相同;既可获得较大钻井液安全压力窗口又可取得较小坍塌压力的方向为优选钻井方向,在钻井液压力窗口变化大的倾向上钻井需严格控制钻井轨迹曲线。 相似文献

Serious wellbore instability occurs frequently during horizontal drilling in shale gas reservoirs. The conventional forecast model of in situ stresses is not suitable for wellbore stability analysis in laminated shale gas formations because of the inhomogeneous mechanical properties of shale. In this study, a new prediction method is developed to calculate the in situ stresses in shale formations. The pore pressure near the borehole is heterogeneous along both the radial and tangential directions due to the inhomogeneity in the mechanical properties and permeability. Therefore, the stress state around the wellbore will vary with time after the formation is drained. Besides, based on the experimental results, a failure criterion is verified and applied to determine the strength of Silurian shale in the Sichuan Basin, including the long-term strength of gas shale. Based on this work, horizontal well borehole stability is analyzed by the new in situ stress prediction model. Finally, the results show that the collapse pressure will be underestimated if the conventional model is used in shale gas reservoirs improperly. The collapse pressure of a horizontal well is maximum at dip angle of 45°. The critical mud weight should be increased constantly to prevent borehole collapse if the borehole is exposed for some time. 相似文献

横观各向同性水敏性地层斜井眼坍塌压力确定 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
在以泥页岩为目标储层的非常规油气藏水平井开发中, 钻遇井壁的稳定性问题突出, 一方面是由于在设计钻井液密度时简单采用各向同性介质模型和Mohr-Coulomb强度准则, 另一方面则是由于选用的钻井液性能欠佳, 难以保证建井全过程的井壁稳定。为此, 将地层视为横观各向同性介质, 采用Mogi-Coulomb强度准则判别岩石基体和层理面的稳定性, 同时考虑泥页岩水化作用对岩石力学强度参数的影响, 建立了水敏性地层井壁稳定分析模型, 分析了坍塌压力随井斜、方位、钻井液性能、钻井时间等因素的变化规律。研究结果表明:对于具有显著层理面结构的泥页岩地层, 采用横观各向同性模型比各向同性介质模型更能描述强度的各向异性;采用Mogi-Coulomb准则比Mohr-Coulomb强度准则得到的坍塌压力值与实际吻合程度更高, 在保证井壁稳定的前提下有利于降低钻井液密度, 实现钻井提速;提高钻井液封堵能力、减小泥页岩吸水扩散能力, 有利于延长坍塌周期。利用东濮、威远、焦石坝等工区多口页岩气水平井的实钻资料对本文方法进行了验证, 证实本文方法确定的钻井液密度窗口下值更能满足安全钻井需求。 相似文献

To alleviate the problems of casing collapse induced by the coupling effect of salt creep movement, as it relates to the curved
sections of horizontal wells, an experimental approach was taken to determine the creep (visco-elastic) property of the salt-gypsum
formation, using finite-difference software to establish a creep model with curved casing, wellbore and salt formation. With
this model, the effects of borehole curvature, drilling direction and casing thickness on external pressure on casing were
analyzed, and casing deformation in the non-uniform in situ stress field was simulated. For horizontal wells drilled through
salt-gypsum formations, this analysis led to the following conclusions: (1) the casing tends to be much safer when drilling
is undertaken along the direction of the minimum horizontal stress; (2) casing deformation occurs and stress increases as
the borehole curvature increases; (3) for the same curvature and drilling direction, thicker casings are safer; (4) as the
creep time increases, the external pressure on the casing rapidly increases until it reaches its maximum value, whereupon
it stays at that value; (5) under the effect of non-uniform in situ stress, a larger non-uniform coefficient would result
in greater external pressure on the casing. This model has been successfully applied to analyze the external pressure on curved
casings in a build-up section for horizontal wells drilled through salt-gypsum formations in an oilfield in Northwest China.
The model has helped to improve the casing design and reduce drilling downtime with greater wellbore stability in salt-gypsum
formations. 相似文献
