Abstract:
Aiming at the problem of the cement hydration shrinkage phenomenon, which occurs when cement seals downhole casing in the process of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technology, this paper proposes a method of sealing the casing by combining threaded casing with bismuth-tin alloy. The effect of different types of grooves (square-, trapezoidal-, and screw-threaded grooves) set on the inner surface of the casing on the gas sealing performance of the alloy plug was analyzed. And the effect of the overlay pressure on the gas sealing performance of the alloy plug during the molding process was analyzed. The experimental results show that under 0.2 MPa overlay pressure, the gas breakthrough pressure values of alloy plugs in square-threaded, screw-threaded, trapezoidal-threaded, and smooth hole casings are 5, 3.7, 2.9, and 1 MPa, respectively. When the pitch in the screw-threaded casing is half of the original, the gas breakthrough pressure value of the alloy plugs in the casing is 4.7 MPa. And after the application of 0.2 MPa overlay pressure, the gas sealing performance of the alloy plugs in the screw-threaded, trapezoidal-threaded, and light hole casings was improved by 220%, 230%, and 100%, respectively. The experimental results show that when the grooves are set on the inner surface of the casing, the gas flow path per unit length of the alloy plug-casing interface is prolonged, and the grooves increase the degree of zigzagging on the inner surface of the casing. The gas sealing performance of the alloy plugs is greatly enhanced. This research can provide theoretical support for the application of downhole Carbon Storage using Sn58Bi in casing.
