超深水超浅层开路电缆测井方案研究及应用

Study and Application of Riserless Wireline Logging Scheme for Ultra-Deepwater and Ultra-Shallow Layers

  • 摘要: 南海超深水超浅层井钻探作业周期短,起下隔水管时间在钻探作业中占比大,施工成本高,采用无隔水管的开路钻探作业方式能有效缩短作业周期、降低作业成本。但是,深水浅层开路钻探给测井作业带来了新的挑战,比如开阔海域表层涌浪对电缆及测井仪器产生冲击,仪器进入水下井口难度大,平台升沉和浅层环境影响仪器稳定坐封并带来作业风险等。为此,对现有3种测井工艺进行对比与论证,创新提出了开路电缆测井作业技术方案:井口悬挂套管隔绝浅层涌浪,通过水下机器人(ROV)实时定位与引导,实现测井仪器精准入井;改进仪器坐封机构,并设置张力预警,确保仪器稳定坐封,从而保证作业安全。南海琼东南盆地现场应用表明,该技术方案应用效果良好,可实现从常规测井到定点测井作业项目全覆盖。开路电缆测井作业技术能够降低钻探成本和保障地质资料的获取,为超深水超浅层高效勘探开发提供了技术保障。

     

    Abstract: Drilling operations in ultra-deepwater and ultra-shallow wells in the South China Sea have short operating time, with riser running/retrieval occupying a significant time portion during drilling operations and incurring high costs. Riserless drilling effectively reduces both operating duration and expenses. However, riserless drilling in deepwater and shallow layers introduces new challenges for logging operations, including surface swells in open waters impacting cables and logging tools, difficulties in tool entry into subsea wellheads, and platform heave and shallow-layer conditions compromising tool sealing stability and operation safety. Through comparative analysis and verification of three existing logging schemes, an innovative riserless wireline logging scheme was developed, featuring casing suspension at the wellhead to isolate shallow-layer swells, remotely operated vehicles (ROV) assisting in precision logging tool deployment in well through real-time positioning and guidance, and enhanced sealing mechanisms with tension warning to ensure tool stability and operation safety. Field applications in the Qiongdongnan Basin of the South China Sea have demonstrated that this scheme has a good effect. It can achieve full coverage of operation projects from conventional logging to fixed-point logging, effectively reduce drilling costs, and ensure the acquisition of geological data, providing technical support for efficient exploration and development in ultra-deepwater and ultra-shallow layers.
