Abstract

The invention relates to a simulation device used for simulating migration of horizontal well annulus rock cuttings in a petroleum pneumatic drill. The simulation device comprises an air feed part, a rock cuttings supplying part, a downhole annulus simulation part, a water supplying part, a separation and recycle part and a data acquisition part. According to the simulation device used for simulating migration of the horizontal well annulus rock cuttings in the petroleum pneumatic drill, air rock cuttings migration experiments can be conducted under a low pressure circumstance, visualized observation of the migration of the air rock cuttings can be conducted, and the rock cuttings migration situations under various factors of working conditions including effluent of water in a stratum can be simulated; meanwhile, through the separation and recycle part of the simulation device, the rock cuttings in the simulation experiments can be repeatedly utilized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an experimental device for simulating oil-air drilling, which is an annular rock-carrying simulation device for air-drilling horizontal wells capable of visual observation. Background technique [0002] In the process of oil drilling, air drilling technology is often used in order to increase the ROP, reduce leakage, prolong the life of the drill bit, reduce sticking, improve the formation evaluation effect, reduce formation damage, and earlier oil and gas production. Air drilling is a drilling technique that uses air-based fluid instead of drilling fluid under controllable conditions to form a negative pressure difference at the bottom of the well. Due to the low air density and low viscosity, when air is used as the rock-carrying medium, the cuttings migration effect is poor. In addition, when the formation is exposed to water, the bonding of clay cuttings also brings a burden to the cuttings migration. Air drilling has many...
