Problems solved by technology

At present, in the gas storage that has been built, there has been a phenomenon of gas leakage outside the casing due to the improper selection of the plugging process, which has caused a great safety and environmental protection hazard.
[0003] At present, ordinary or ultra-fine cement is generally used in the oil field to seal the reservoir and the well section outside the pipe, and the pressure test method is basically used to check whether the plugging is successful. The cement particle size is not selected according to the size of the formation pore throat, and sometimes the plugging effect will appear. The phenomenon that the pressure test is qualified, but the cementing quality is not up to the quality requirement; or the plugging effect is not up to the requirement when the amount of plugging material is large

Embodiment Construction

[0020] Aiming at the characteristics and requirements of the underground gas storage, the present invention proposes a plugging method for old wells to ensure that the natural gas injected into the well cannot cross between layers and cannot escape from the interface between the wellbore and the cement sheath to the ground, thereby ensuring the normal production of the gas storage To ensure the safety and environmental protection of the area near the gas storage; to prevent gas channeling and leakage between layers in the well, to ensure the economical and effective operation of the underground gas storage; under the operating conditions of strong injection and production, and alternating pressure changes, effective sealing can be achieved for 50 years.

[0021] Specifically, the underground gas storage old well plugging method of the present invention mainly includes the following steps:

[0022] S1. Utilize the cement flow receiver, use filler mixed with ultra-fine cement to ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for plugging an old underground gas storage well. The method comprises the steps of utilizing a cement bearing device and adopting padding mixed with superfine cement to plug a jetted air reservoir target layer in an extruding mode and reserving a cement plug; utilizing the cement bearing device and adopting padding mixed with superfine cement to plug perforated well sections under the jetted air reservoir target layer in the extruding mode and reserving a cement plug; utilizing the cement bearing device and adopting padding mixed with superfine cement to plug perforated well sections above the jetted air reservoir target layer in the extruding mode and reserving a superfine cement plug; selecting superfine sections with high superfine permeability to solve the problem that the well cementation quality of well sections above the target layer is disqualified, and arranging cement partition plates after perforation so as to prevent gas channeling outside tubes; plugging the target layer and other perforated well sections and waiting on cement setting under pressure by utilizing the cement bearing device; and arranging a whole cement plug and reserving cement faces to be 300m higher than the perforated well sections. The method for plugging the old underground gas storage well can effectively save plugging materials and improve the plugging effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to oil and gas workover technology, in particular to a permanent well sealing method for an underground gas storage. Background technique [0002] Natural gas is flammable, explosive, and easy to leak. In the construction of gas storage, the most important thing is to consider the sealing of the gas storage, that is, to ensure that the natural gas stored underground cannot move uncontrollably to the wellhead, nor can it move to the wellhead. Non-reservoir migration. In recent years, my country has combined the geology and production characteristics of oil reservoirs in the construction of gas storages in China. After many demonstrations and years of practice by experts, it has formed a process route for treating old wells using sandstone oil and gas reservoirs in my country. This process route is comparable to that of foreign countries. The main difference is that the focus of treatment is on the treatment of old well gas reservoi...
