随钻下行通讯井筒压力波动控压平衡方法

A Method for MPD to Balance the Wellbore Pressure Fluctuation During Downlink Communication While Drilling

  • 摘要: 针对旋转导向钻井中负脉冲下行通讯引发的井筒压力波动对井控安全不利的问题,根据负脉冲下行通讯系统的工作原理和特征,建立了以立压为参照的控压平衡方法和井筒瞬态流动模型,分析了负脉冲下行通讯过程中井筒中钻井液的流动规律,并验证了立压为参照的控压平衡方法的效果。数值模拟结果表明:负脉冲下行通讯过程中,信号从立管向井口传播,流量波动显著畸变,压力波动显著减小,且都具有时滞效应;立压与井底压力的变化趋势基本一致,证明了立压可以作为调节回压的参照数据;控压下行通讯过程中,井底压力负波动降低了80.9%,且井底流量波动形态与恒定井口回压下行通讯的井底流量波动形态基本一致。研究结果表明,以立压为参照的控压平衡方法可以有效抑制负脉冲下行通讯过程中井底压力的波动,保持井底压力稳定,且不会对负脉冲下行通讯流量信号造成干扰,为现场作业提供理论指导。

     

    Abstract: Based on the operating principle and characteristics of the negative pulse downlink communication system, a managed pressure balance method with SPP as the reference and a wellbore transient flow model were established. The wellbore flow rate of the negative pulse downlink communication was analyzed, and the effectiveness of the managed pressure balance method was verified. The numerical simulation results showed: The signal propagation from the stand pipe to the wellhead during the negative pulse downlink communication, the flow rate fluctuation was significantly distorted, and the pressure fluctuation was significantly reduced, both of which had time delay effects; The variation pattern of SPP and BHP was basically consistent, proving that SPP could be used as a reference data for regulating back pressure; The negative fluctuation of BHP was decreased by 80.9% while managed pressure downlink communication, and the fluctuation pattern of bottom hole flow rate was basically consistent with that under constant wellhead backpressure conditions; The research results indicated that this method could effectively suppress the negative fluctuation of wellbore pressure during negative pulse downlink communication while drilling, maintained stable bottom hole pressure, and did not interfere with the flow signal of the negative pulse downlink communication, provided theoretical guidance for on-site operations.
