  • 摘要: 库车山前地区具备超深、超高压、超高温、高产量、高陡构造、高风险的“三超三高”特征,地层压力最高达136 MPa,安全钻井密度窗口窄至0.02 kg/L以下,溢漏转换、溢漏同存频发,超高温高压溢流隐蔽性强、处置难度大,井控安全问题突出。针对钻前地层压力预测精度不足、常规井身结构适应性差、溢漏同存处置困难及井控装备承压能力不足等技术短板,通过研究地质–地球物理–力学多源融合的三维压力场预测技术,优化形成盐层专封、储层专打的塔标Ⅱ−B井身结构,创新超高压盐水精细控压、放水降压及“压回法+节流循环”溢流压井等成套井控工艺,并研制了配套的140 MPa级套管头、采气树及节流管汇等高端装备,形成了适用于塔里木库车山前地区的井控技术。现场应用表明,该技术解决了窄安全密度窗口、溢漏同存及超高压溢流处置难题,钻井周期显著缩短,成本大幅降低,为库车山前超深层复杂油气井安全高效钻井提供了技术支撑。

     

    Abstract: The Kuqa piedmont area has the characteristics of ultra-deep, ultra-high pressure, ultra-high temperature, high production, high-steep structure, and high risk. The formation pressure reaches up to 136 MPa; the safe drilling mud weight window is narrower than 0.02 kg/L; kick-loss conversion and simultaneous kick and loss occur frequently; the ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure overflow is highly concealed and difficult to handle, and well control safety issues are prominent. In view of technical shortcomings such as insufficient pre-drilling formation pressure prediction accuracy, poor adaptability of conventional casing programs, handling difficulties of simultaneous kick and loss, and insufficient pressure-bearing capacity of well control equipment, well control technologies suitable for the Kuqa piedmont area of Tarim Oilfield were developed. These technologies were achieved by establishing a three-dimensional pressure field prediction technology with multi-source fusion of geology, geophysics, and mechanics; optimizing and forming the Tabiao II-B casing program for specific isolation of salt layers and specific drilling of reservoirs; innovating complete well control techniques such as fine managed pressure control for ultra-high pressure brine, water discharge and pressure reduction, and overflow well killing by “bullheading + choke circulation”; developing supporting high-end equipments such as 140 MPa-grade casing heads, gas production trees, and choke manifolds. Field applications indicate that these technologies effectively solve the handling difficulties of narrow mud weight windows, simultaneous kick and loss, and ultra-high pressure overflow. The drilling cycle is significantly shortened, and the cost is greatly reduced, which provides strong technical support for the safe and efficient drilling of ultra-deep complex oil and gas wells in the Kuqa piedmont area.
