Analysis of Pore Pressure and Stress Distribution around a Wellbore Drilled in Chemically Active Elastoplastic Formations 总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3
Drilling in low-permeable reactive shale formations with water-based drilling mud presents significant challenges, particularly
in high-pressure and high-temperature environments. In previous studies, several models were proposed to describe the thermodynamic
behaviour of shale. Most shale formations under high pressure are expected to undergo plastic deformation. An innovative algorithm
including work hardening is proposed in the framework of thermo-chemo-poroelasticity to investigate the effect of plasticity
on stresses around the wellbore. For this purpose a finite-element model of coupled thermo-chemo-poro-elastoplasticity is
developed. The governing equations are based on the concept of thermodynamics of irreversible processes in discontinuous systems.
In order to solve the plastic problem, a single-step backward Euler algorithm containing a yield surface-correction scheme
is used to integrate the plastic stress–strain relation. An initial stress method is employed to solve the non-linearity of the plastic equation. In addition, super convergent patch recovery is used
to accurately evaluate the time-dependent stress tensor from nodal displacement. The results of this study reveal that thermal
and chemical osmosis can significantly affect the fluid flow in low-permeable shale formations. When the salinity of drilling
mud is higher than that of pore fluid, fluid is pulled out of the formation by chemical osmotic back flow. Similar results
are observed when the temperature of drilling mud is lower than that of the formation fluid. It is found that linear elastic
approaches to wellbore stability analysis appear to overestimate the tangential stress around the wellbore and produce more
conservative stresses compared to the results of field observation. Therefore, the drilling mud properties obtained from the
elastoplastic wellbore stability in shales provide a safer mud weight window and reduce drilling cost. 相似文献

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

与北美不同,中国南方海相页岩层经历了多期构造改造,页岩储层物性受构造变形作用的影响较大。为了研究构造变形对南方海相页岩储层渗透率的影响特征和机理,以雪峰山西侧地区五峰-龙马溪组页岩为研究对象,利用气体脉冲衰减法、压汞法和扫描电子显微镜等手段对不同变形页岩样品的渗透率、孔隙结构及孔隙形貌特征进行了测试分析,探讨构造变形页岩的渗透率演化特征及其对孔隙结构演化的响应机理。测试结果显示,强烈构造变形页岩的渗透性较原生页岩和弱变形页岩的渗透性显著提高,强变形页岩样品的渗透率在0.2 mD和2.69 mD之间,比未变形和弱变形页岩样品的渗透率(在1.5×10-4 mD和1.7×10-3 mD之间)高三个数量级,表明强构造变形作用对页岩渗透率具有显著促进作用;同时,不同有效压力条件下页岩渗透率的演化特征显示,强变形页岩气体渗透率的压力敏感性比原生页岩和弱变形页岩显著降低。构造变形条件下页岩孔隙结构与渗透率相关性的进一步分析认为,强变形页岩的孔隙结构变化特别是大孔和裂隙的发育,是促进其渗透率增加的主要原因。这些研究结果表明,伴随强烈的构造变形,南方海相页岩易形成大孔和微裂隙发育的孔隙结构特征,有助于强变形页岩层渗透性的显著提高。构造变形页岩渗透率的提高有利于地质条件下气体的运移,一方面,将有利于页岩气往构造高点的迁移和富集从而形成游离气型或外源型页岩气甜点;另一方面,也可能导致页岩气在盖层条件不佳和断裂发育区的散失。 相似文献

在世界范围内,沉积盆地高超压区的压力预测和安全钻井是长久未能解决的难题。在钻井过程中可能引起各种钻井工程事故的主要原因是渗透砂支内的高压,而现在通用压力预测和监测方法却建立在低渗透的泥质岩内超压产生及对其岩性、物性变化影响的基础上。本文讨论了沉积盆地内异常高压分布的特征,着重探讨了在渗透砂岩层中异常流体压力产生的机制,划分出自源、邻源和他源３种成因类型,并讨论了各类超压对钻井工程的危害性和可预测性 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

Middle–Lower Jurassic terrigenous shales constitute a set of significant hydrocarbon source rocks in the Kuqa Depression of the Tarim Basin. Until recently, however, most investigations regarding this set of hydrocarbon source rocks have mainly focused on conventional oil and gas reservoirs, and little research has been conducted on the formation conditions of shale gases. This research, which is based on core samples from nine wells in the Kuqa Depression, investigated the geological, geochemical, mineralogical and porosity characteristics of the shales, analysed the geological and geochemical conditions for the formation of shale gases, and evaluated the shale gas resource potential. The results show that the distribution of the Middle–Lower Jurassic shales is broad, with thicknesses reaching up to 300–500 km. The total organic carbon (TOC) content is relatively high, ranging from 0.2 to 13.5 wt% with a mean of 2.7 wt%. The remaining hydrocarbon generative potential is between 0.1 and 22.34 mg/g, with a large range of variation and a mean value of 3.98 mg/g. It is dominated by type III kerogen with the presence of minor type II1 kerogen. The vitrinite reflectance values range from 0.517 to 1.572%, indicating the shales are in a mature or highly mature stage. The shales are mainly composed of quartz (19–76%), clay (18–68%) and plagioclase (1–10%) with mean contents of 50.36 wt%, 41.42 wt%, and 3.37 wt%, respectively. The pore spaces are completely dominated by primary porosity, secondary porosity and microfractures. The porosity is less than 10% and is mainly between 0.5 and 4%, and the permeability is generally less than 0.1 mD. These results classify the shale as a low-porosity and ultra-low-permeability reservoir. The porosity has no obvious correlation with the brittle or clay mineral contents, but it is significantly positively correlated with the TOC content. The maximum adsorbed gas content is between 0.82 and 8.52 m3/t with a mean of 3.37 m3/t. In general, the shale gas adsorption content increases with increasing the TOC content, especially when the TOC content is greater than 1.0%. The volumetric method, used to calculate the geological resources of the Middle–Lower Jurassic shales in the Kuqa Depression, shows that the geological resources of the Middle and Lower Jurassic shales reach 667.681 and 988.115 × 109 m3, respectively with good conditions for the formation of shale gas and good prospects for shale gas exploration. 相似文献

We conduct a theoretical analysis of steady‐state heat transfer problems through mid‐crustal vertical cracks with upward throughflow in hydrothermal systems. In particular, we derive analytical solutions for both the far field and near field of the system. In order to investigate the contribution of the forced advection to the total temperature of the system, two concepts, namely the critical Peclet number and the critical permeability of the system, have been presented and discussed in this paper. The analytical solution for the far field of the system indicates that if the pore‐fluid pressure gradient in the crust is lithostatic, the critical permeability of the system can be used to determine whether or not the contribution of the forced advection to the total temperature of the system is negligible. Otherwise, the critical Peclet number should be used. For a crust of moderate thickness, the critical permeability is of the order of magnitude of 10?20 m2, under which heat conduction is the overwhelming mechanism to transfer heat energy, even though the pore‐fluid pressure gradient in the crust is lithostatic. Furthermore, the lower bound analytical solution for the near field of the system demonstrates that the permeable vertical cracks in the middle crust can efficiently transfer heat energy from the lower crust to the upper crust of the Earth.

The X-ray fluorescence and ICP methods were used to analyze 60 outcrop samples of black shale, of which 15 were collected from Belait, 15 from the Setap Shale, 15 from Temburong, and 15 from the Trusmadi formations. The average compositions of the shales from the study area are 64.62%, 63.95%, 62.32%, 63.84% SiO2, 1.84%, 2.14%, 2.04%, 1.99% MgO, 2.55%, 3.12%, 2.89%, 2.72% K2O, 0.32%, 0.30%, 0.32%, 0.53% CaO, 5.86%, 6.06%, 7.14%, 6.60% Fe2O3, 207×10^-6, 180×10^-6, 213×10^-6, 200×10^-6 Rb, and 56×10^-6, 49×10^-6, 50×10^-6, 32×10^-6 Sr for the Setap Shale, Temburong, Belait and Trusmadi samples, respectively. The high Rb/Sr ratios of 3.8, 3.7, 4.2, and 6.1 are attributed to the lowest contents of Sr due to reducing conditions prevailing. The high Rb/K ratio sug- gests either brackish marine or rapid deposition that prevented equilibrium between Rb and K in the shales and marine waters. 相似文献

基于野外地质和钻井资料,结合相关实验测试结果,对湘西北地区下古生界海相页岩储层特征进行了深入研究,并探讨了页岩甲烷含气性及影响因素。结果表明：牛蹄塘组黑色页岩以深水陆棚斜坡相沉积为主,厚度范围为50~250 m;龙马溪组为闭塞海湾沉积,底部黑色页岩发育。两组页岩有机质类型均属于Ⅰ型,有机碳含量平均为3.57%和1.16%,热演化程度较高,平均达2.61%和2.08%。受沉积环境和成岩作用影响,两组页岩均具有高石英、低黏土、少量碳酸盐矿物的组成特征。页岩储集空间可划分为3大类：矿物基质孔、有机质孔、微裂缝。受有机质和黏土矿物等因素影响,页岩内部孔隙结构参数各不同,但主体上孔径小于50 nm的微孔和中孔提供了大部分比表面积和孔体积,为气体存储主要场所。牛蹄塘组页岩甲烷最大吸附量平均为1.98 cm3/g;龙马溪组页岩甲烷最大吸附量较低,为1.16 cm3/g。其中有机质与黏土矿物对页岩甲烷吸附量均有一定的贡献,而过高的成熟度和含水量可导致页岩吸附能力下降。 相似文献

ABSTRACTWellbore instability is one of the major challenges facing the drilling industry and it shows itself in the form of wellbore collapse and/or fracture. The major reason for this challenge is the inability of the mud density to balance the weight of the excavated materials. While most drilling operations are carried out through shale formations, the complexities of drilling such wells are increased because of the tendency for shale to react with water-based mud. Moreover, the very low permeability of shale means that time-dependent effects may set in. The convention used to incorporate time-dependent effect is to couple the constitutive stress model and chemical diffusion, but in this study, we considered the effect of incorporating time variable into the rock failure criterion. The choice criterion used is the Mogi-Coulomb rock failure criterion, which was modified to incorporate the time effect. The results indicate that in an open-hole the mud density to prevent wellbore collapse increases with time while that to prevent wellbore fracture decreases, thus making the mud window reduce with time. 相似文献

The deposition of finely disseminated gold in the deposits hosted in black shales is considered. It is suggested that gold
deposition is controlled by microstructure of pore space in host rocks. The pore space structure of tight shales indicates
that most pore volume is occupied by nanopores with hundredths of micrometers in characteristic dimension. The balance calculations
show that deposition of native gold in nanopore channels of filtration is hampered by shortage of number of atoms necessary
to overcome a nucleation threshold of the future gold crystal in the pore volume. When ore-transporting solution meets on
its way the cavities (pores, micro- and macrofractures), whose volume is sufficient to overcome the nucleation threshold,
the excess content of ore component, which exceeds equilibrium concentration, is released with formation of crystallization
centers and further precipitation of gold. The conditions of ore deposition are exemplified in the reference Sukhoi Log deposit
hosted in black shales. On the basis on the PT conditions of ore deposition and physical features of fluid heat and mass transfer, it is suggested that ore disseminations
were deposited at the early high-temperature stage under a fluid pressure close to lithostatic and at a host rock permeability
markedly exceeding its present-day value. 相似文献

中国南方主要富有机质海相页岩寒武系牛蹄塘组和志留系龙马溪组是当前页岩气勘探的重要目标地层,但演化程度普遍偏高,孔隙结构复杂。为加深对这种复杂性的认识,通过场发射扫描电镜、高压压汞实验与低温低压吸附实验(CO_2与N_2),对页岩全孔径孔隙结构特征进行对比研究。研究发现,牛蹄塘组孔体积与龙马溪组页岩的孔体积分别介于0.0202~0.0402 m L/g与0.0255~0.0310 m L/g之间,介孔在两套页岩孔体积中所占比例最大。两套页岩比表面积分别介于13.74~41.26 m~2/g与21.42~27.82 m~2/g之间,微孔与介孔几乎提供了两套页岩全部的比表面。孔隙结构的差异主要表现为牛蹄塘组页岩内溶蚀孔和粒间孔较为发育,有机质孔隙发育不均匀;而龙马溪组页岩内粒内孔、粒间孔和有机质孔隙均较为发育;牛蹄塘组在微孔范围内的孔体积与比表面积占有优势,而介孔与宏孔范围内的孔体积与比表面积均小于龙马溪组。根据实验数据结果与文献的调研,两套页岩孔隙结构差异的主要原因主要是成熟度与埋深的不同影响而形成的。 相似文献

Hydraulic properties of the crystalline basement 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1
Hydraulic tests in boreholes, up to 4.5 km deep, drilled into continental crystalline basement revealed hydraulic conductivity
(K) values that range over nine log-units from 10−13−10−4 m s−1. However, K values for fractured basement to about 1 km depth are typically restricted to the range from 10−8 to 10−6 m s−1. New data from an extended injection test at the KTB research site (part of the Continental Deep Drilling Program in Germany)
at 4 km depth provide K=5 10−8 m s−1. The summarized K-data show a very strong dependence on lithology and on the local deformation history of a particular area. In highly fractured
regions, granite tends to be more pervious than gneiss. The fracture porosity is generally saturated with Na–Cl or Ca–Na–Cl
type waters with salinities ranging from <1 to >100 g L−1. The basement permeability is well within the conditions for advective fluid and heat transport. Consequently, fluid pressure
is hydrostatic and a Darcy flow mechanism is possible to a great depth. Topography-related hydraulic gradients in moderately
conductive basement may result in characteristic advective flow rates of up to 100 L a−1 m−2 and lead to significant advective heat and solute transfer in the upper brittle crust.

The high permeability of sediments and strong near-bottom currents cause seawater to infiltrate the surface layers of Middle
Atlantic Bight shelf deposits. In this study, sandy sediment cores from 11 to 12 m water depth were percolated with filtered
seawater on shipboard. Sedimentary oxygen consumption (SOC) increased non-linearly with pore water flow, approaching maximum
rates of 120 mmol m−2 d−1 (May 2001) or 75 mmol m−2 d−1(July 2001). The addition of acetate to the inflowing water promptly enhanced the release of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC)
from the cores. DIC production rates were a linear function of acetate concentration, ranging from 100 to 300 mmol m−2 d−1 without substrate addition to 572 mmol m−2 d−1 with 100 mM acetate. The sediments also hydrolyzed a glucose pseudopolymer, and the liberated glucose prompted an increase
of SOC. Our results suggest that decomposition rates of organic matter in permeable sands can exceed those of fine-grained,
organic-rich deposits, when water currents cause advective interstitial flow, supplying the subsurface microbial community
with degradable material and electron acceptors. We conclude that the highly permeable sand beds of the Middle Atlantic Bight
are responsive within minutes to hours and efficiently operate as biocatalytical filters. 相似文献

The well-developed continental shale sequences in the Western Sichuan Depression are characterised by extremely low porosity and permeability, complex lithologies and strong lateral facies changes. The overall lack of proper characterisation of the shale properties has restricted gas exploration and development in the region. In this study, shales from the fifth member of the Xujiahe Formation of the Upper Triassic (T3x5) are comprehensively characterised in terms of their organic geochemistry, mineral composition, microscopic pore structure and gas content. In addition, the influence of various geological factors on the adsorbed gas content is investigated. We proposed a new model for predicting the adsorption gas content of continental shale. The T3x5 shale sequence is found to be rich in organic matter but with variable mineral compositions, pore types and reservoir physical properties. The porosity and permeability of shales are better than those of siltstones and fine sandstones interbedded with the shale under an overall densification background. Mesopores (2–50 nm) are common in the shale sequence, followed by micropores and then macropores. The gas-adsorption capacity of organic-rich shales increases with increasing TOC and clay-mineral contents, maturity and pressure, but decreases with increasing quartz content, carbonate minerals and temperature. The gas-adsorption capacity can thus be expressed as a function of organic matter, clay-mineral content, temperature and pressure. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experiment results and indicate that adsorption gas in the studied shales accounts for 78.9% of the total gas content. 相似文献
