Abstract:
With the advancement of oil and gas exploration at home and abroad in the direction of deep-sea, deep and unconventional resources, it is increasingly difficult to calculate the wellbore pressure accurately during the drilling process. Moreover, a large number of studies have shown that the traditional rheological models such as Bingham model and power-law model are not very consistent with the actual rheology of drilling fluid in the wellbore. Besides, temperature and pressure have a great influence on the rheology of drilling fluid. Therefore, it is important to select the optimal rheological model at different temperatures and pressures to describe the rheology of drilling fluid for accurate calculation of wellbore pressure. In this study, FannIX77 high temperature and high pressure automatic rheometer is used to carry out rheology test experiments of water-based and oil-based drilling fluids. It is found that the rheology of drilling fluid is greatly affected by temperature and pressure, and the influence of temperature is more significant. Using the 1st OPT software and regression fitting algorithm, it is found that the rheology of water-based drilling fluid is more in line with the Herschel-Bulkley model when the temperature is less than 100 °C, and more in line with the four-parameter model when the temperature is greater than 100 °C. The rheology of oil-based drilling fluid is more in line with the Herschel-Bulkley model when the temperature is less than 140 °C, and more in line with the four-parameter model when the temperature is greater than 140 °C. Therefore, this study establishes a wellbore temperature and pressure field model considering the segmented rheological model. Then, this study uses example well data to compare with the calculation results of wellbore friction pressure drop of the model and under wellbore temperature and pressure field model with different rheological models. It is found that the calculation results of the wellbore temperature and pressure field model considering the segmented rheological model are more consistent with the actual data in the field. This study provides theoretical guidance for accurate calculation of wellbore pressure. © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
