  • 摘要: 为了解决渝东地区常压页岩气水平井用生产套管固井时易漏及分段压裂后环空带压的技术难点,研究了机械充氮泡沫水泥浆固井技术。通过优选发泡剂、稳泡剂,设计了泡沫低密度水泥浆;基于高压气体状态方程,进行了泡沫水泥浆全过程平衡压力及浆柱结构设计,建立了井筒压力条件下的泡沫水泥浆密度计算模型,形成了机械充氮泡沫水泥浆固井技术。泡沫低密度水泥浆的密度调整范围为0.80~1.55 kg/L,水泥浆中泡沫的半衰周期为33.8 h,泡沫水泥石的弹性模量为4.6 GPa。泡沫水泥石在循环载荷测试条件下的残余应变为0.21%,具有良好的力学性能;采用全过程平衡压力固井技术和分段注气泡沫低密度水泥浆注结构设计方法,能满足固井防漏要求。渝东地区20口常压页岩气水平井应用了机械充氮泡沫水泥浆固井技术,固井过程中未发生漏失,固井质量优良率100%,且压裂后未出现环空带压现象。研究和现场应用表明,采用机械充氮泡沫水泥浆固井技术可以解决渝东地区常压页岩气水平井生产套管固井时的漏失问题,且泡沫水泥石具有良好的弹性变形性能,能够防止压裂后环空带压。

     

    Abstract: Normal pressure horizontal shale gas wells in the eastern Chongqing area are prone to leakage during the process of production casing cementing, and often encounter sustained casing pressure (SCP) after staged fracturing. To solve these technical difficulties, this paper studied the cementing technology of mechanical nitrogen-filled foamed cement slurry. Foaming agents and foam stabilizers were selected in the design of low-density foamed cement slurry. Based on the high-pressure gas equation of state, the whole-process pressure balancing of foamed cement slurry and the design of the slurry column structure were performed, and a density calculation model of foamed cement slurry under wellbore pressure was built. In this way, a cementing technology using mechanical nitrogen-filled foamed cement slurry was developed. Specifically, the density of low-density foamed cement slurry ranged from 0.80 to 1.55 kg/L, and the half-life of foam in cement slurry was 33.8 h, with the elastic modulus of foamed cement paste being 4.6 GPa. The residual strain of foamed cement paste under cyclic loading was 0.21%, which demonstrated its good mechanical properties. The whole-process pressure-balancing cementing technology and the slurry column structure design of low-density foamed cement with staged gas injection could meet the requirements of cementing for leakage prevention. When the technology was applied to 20 horizontal shale gas wells in the eastern Chongqing area, no leakage occurred during the construction process, with an excellent rate of cementing quality of 100%, and there was no SCP after fracturing. Research and field applications indicate that the cementing technology using mechanical nitrogen-filled foamed cement slurry can solve the leakage problem of horizontal shale gas wells in the eastern Chongqing area during the production casing cementing, and the foamed cement paste has good elastic deformation, which can prevent SCP after fracturing.
