目前,在非均匀地应力和考虑盐膏层与软泥岩互层蠕变相互影响的条件下,对控制复合盐膏层井眼缩径的合理钻井液密度的确定方法研究较少。为此,文中以Buzurgan油田复合盐膏层井眼缩径问题为例,在岩石力学实验的基础上,建立了盐层 ̄软泥岩 ̄盐层的三维FLAC3D复合盐膏层模型,并编制了控制复合盐膏层井眼缩径安全钻井密度图版。结果表明:在相同钻井液密度条件下,最小水平地应力方位井眼缩径率高于最大水平地应力方位井眼,而软泥岩夹层井眼缩径速率高于盐岩地层井眼,软泥岩蠕变是造成Buzurgan油田复合盐膏层井眼缩径的主要原因;为控制井眼缩径,钻井液密度应取2.35 g/cm3;控制复合盐膏层井眼缩径的同时,要提高钻井液的矿化度、降滤失性和封堵性,抑制软泥岩的蠕变。研究成果复合盐膏层的安全钻进提供了技术支撑。
Current research methods determining the reasonable drilling fluid density that controlls hole shrinkage of composite salt-gypsum rock seldom consider non-uniform in-situ stress and mutual influence between salt-gypsum layer and soft mudstone creep. Taking the composite salt-gypsum layer of Buzurgan Oilfield for example, a three-dimensional FLAC3D model of composite salt-gypsum layer was established to make hole shrinkage simulation in composite salt-gypsum layer on the basis of rock mechanics experiments, and the safe drilling density chart was obtained to control hole shrinkage in composite salt-gypsum layer. Results show that borehole shrinkage rate of soft mudstone in gypsum intercalation is higher than that in the salt-gypsum layer under the same condition of drilling fluid density, and soft mudstone creep is the main reason that causes borehole shrinkage of composite salt-gypsum layer for Buzurgan Oilfield. Shrinkage rate of level minimum in-situ stress orientation is higher than that of the horizontal maximum in-situ stress orientation. In order to control borehole shrinkage of composite salt-gypsum layer for Buzurgan Oilfield, drilling fluid density should be not less than 2.35 g/cm3. In addition, it is necessary to improve drilling fluid mineralization, filtrate reduction and seal property to inhibit the mudstone creep. Research results will provide technical support to solve borehole shrinkage of composite salt-gypsum layer.
