Abstract:

With oil and gas exploration and development approaching the deep-burial,deep-water and unconventional fields,the encountered formations become increasingly complex. Deep mudstone formations exhibit strong hard plastic characteristics during drilling,resulting in difficulties in penetrating of cutters into formations and low rates of penetration (ROP). Given the challenge of improving ROP in hard plastic mudstone,rock-breaking simulation tests of PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) cutters were conducted for hard plastic formations,and the rock-breaking effects of various shaped cutters were analyzed. The results indicated that the 3D-shaped cutter exhibits the best rock-breaking efficiency and certain durability: it delivers a maximum ROP improvement of 116.4% in the hard plastic mudstone in Shengli Luojia Oilfield. Furthermore,a staggered cutter arrangement design,combining axe-shaped and 3D-shaped cutters,was proposed for drilling deep and complex formations,like sand-mudstone interbedding formations,which delivers the highest ROP increment of  215.7% in Yongjin Oilfield in Junggar Basin. Additionally,potential measures for enhancing ROP in hard plastic mudstone were discussed. The design principles of "sharp breakthrough,plane advancing and intensive scraping with small-diameter cutters" are recommended to improve the drilling efficiency. The research findings provide valuable insights for optimizing the design of PDC bits for hard plastic mudstone.

摘要:

随着油气勘探开发向深层、深水、非常规领域发展,钻遇地层越来越复杂,其中深部泥岩地层在钻进过程中表现出极强的硬塑性特征,导致切削齿难以吃入地层、钻头机械钻速缓慢。针对硬塑性泥岩地层提速难题,开展了聚晶金刚石复合片钻头(PDC)切削齿模拟破岩试验,对比分析了多种异形齿的破岩效果。研究结果表明,弯刀齿的破岩效率最佳且兼具一定的耐用性,在胜利罗家油田硬塑性泥岩地层实现机械钻速最高提升116.4%;斧形齿和弯刀齿交错布齿钻头设计适用于砂泥互层等深部复杂地层,在准噶尔盆地永进油田实现机械钻速最高提升215.7%。讨论了硬塑性泥岩地层潜在的提速措施,建议采用“尖锐突破,平面推进,小齿密刮”的钻头设计原则,以实现高效破岩钻进。研究成果为硬塑性泥岩地层PDC钻头优化设计提供了参考。
