Acceleration pressure drop can change steam physical parameters, wellbore pressure distribution and temperature distribution. Based on the rules of mass conservation and energy conservation, model for steam quality variation along the horizontal section was built. Pressure and temperature distribution of injected steam along horizontal section were deduced on the principle of momentum conservation. Models were solved by pressure increment iteration method. The calculation results are compared with the reservoir numerical simulator, which showed that the models in the paper were succinct and accurate.","PeriodicalId":313367,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Petroleum Exploration and Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134548913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When drilling fluid flows through the tool in drilling process, the fluid is modulated to pulsed and cavitating jet by impellers and in self-resonant chamber. Thus, pulsed cavitating jet is formed at the outlet of the bit nozzle. Because of jet pulsation, cavitating erosion and local negative pressure effect, bottom cuttings cleaning efficiency is enhanced and the ROP is improved. The hydraulic pulsed cavitating jet generator has been applied in 8 oil fields and more than 100 wells in China. The results indicated that the maximum density of test drilling fluid was 1.70 g/cm 3 , the maximum test well depth was 6,162 m. The generator could work over 230 h, and the maximum operation time was above 520 h. As the result, the average ROP had been increased by 10.1% to 104.4%.

In addition, it has poor oil displacement effect with water injection, and low recovery rate. Considering geological interpretation results, the cave filling models with different filling mediums are designed. Through physical simulation experiments, the displacement mechanism between the un-filled areas and the filling medium were fully studied. Meanwhile, the effect of filling medium’s wettability, pore size and fluid elastic energy on the oil-water displacement efficiency were clarified. The results showed that: In the process of oil-water displacement, the capillary resistance in the oil-wet filling medium may hinder the oil-water gravity differentiation, making it impossible for the oil in the filling medium to be replaced effectively, so there is a large amount of remaining oil in the filling medium. The stronger the oil wettability of the filing medium and the smaller pore size, the lower the displacement efficiency. Increasing injecting pressure could only increase the formation energy and improve oil production at the beginning, but it could not improve oil displacement efficiency in filling medium. Injection of surfactant could reduce the oil-water interfacial tension and improve the oil phase utilization degree of the filling medium effectively. Field application has the same results with the experiment, so the surfactant injection is an EOR method to improve oil displacement for fracture-cave reservoir with high degree of filling medium.","PeriodicalId":313367,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Petroleum Exploration and Development","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129272682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new drilling fluid has reversible emulsion-phase behavior. The formulation of the reversible invert emulsion drilling fluid was: white oil (5)+25% CaCl 2 brine+50% weight agent ZFU-3+1.5% organoclay+0.5% lime +4.5% reversible emulsifier UPSG-1+1% wetting agent DYSL-3+an appropriate amount barite, oleaginous fluid to non-oleaginous fluid-ratio was 50/50, drilling fluid density was 1.9 kg/L, weight agent ZFU is sodium formate. Comprehensive performance evaluation with laboratory test showed that the new drilling fluid could be readily and reversibly converted from a water-in-oil emulsion to an oil-in water emulsion and back to a water-in-oil emulsion using an acid-based chemical switch. And before and after converting the emulsion mud maintains good performance, with emulsion-breaking voltage of 900-1,100 V, resistance to temperature of 150℃, HEHP filter loss of less than 6 ml. Additionally, the filter cake and oily cuttings could be treated easily. This suggests that the reversible invert emulsion drilling fluid has both merits of oil-based fluid and water –based fluids, and all properties are excellent. The reversible invert emulsion drilling fluid is capable of resolving the problems with the application of conventional oil-based drilling fluid. The density of the reversible invert emulsion is 1.9 kg/L, which is also better than the traditional reversible invert emulsion drilling fluid.","PeriodicalId":313367,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Petroleum Exploration and Development","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128178572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
