摘要

含中空玻璃微珠(HGB)的轻密度钻井液越来越多地应用于钻井损耗最小、钻速提高的衰竭地层。然而,缺乏关于如何最好地利用典型固控设备的研究,因为目前基于重晶石加权泥浆的实践和程序效率低下。我们报告了一个系统的全尺寸测试程序,以研究和优化页岩振动筛,水力旋流器和离心机对此类流体的固体控制效率。在实验室配制了一种非水基中空玻璃珠钻井液,并制备了大量(>40bbl),并使用现场规模固控设备进行了测试。对进、流出流进行了密度、粒度分布、蒸馏法、流变性和流变性的监测,并进行了评估,以确定最佳的设备条件,以最大限度地提高固体控制效率,同时最大限度地减少排放流中的颗粒损失。变量包括振动筛尺寸、流量和甲板角度、水力旋流器流量和操作压力、离心机流量、差速和其他参数。液体中玻璃珠的数量也各不相同。钻井液被各种大小的固体污染,这些固体类似于钻井固体。根据收集到的数据,开发了有效的程序来监测每个流中的空心玻璃微珠和钻固。通过系统的测试程序,可以从振动筛、水力旋流器和离心机中确定实现高固控效率的条件。这是在中空玻璃微珠浓度约11%和22%的体积下实现的。虽然以前的一些现场经验表明,使用离心机处理这些流体存在严峻挑战,但一旦确定了适当的设置,就可以证明离心机操作是有效的。总体而言,测试结果表明,使用常规的固体控制设备可以去除大多数钻井固体,并且流体特性(例如流变性、滤失等)可以保持在所需的水平,而排出的固体不会损失任何大量的珠状物。由于微球比基础油轻,它们在固控设备中的表现与传统固控设备大不相同。因此,必须更新或改变设备程序和常规设置。实验结果表明,即使在高颗粒浓度下,也能达到较高的固控效率。这项工作解决了这些流体在现场应用中的一个障碍,并指出了通过最小化钻井液稀释来优化应用的实践。

Full-Scale Solids Control Testing of a Light Density Hollow Glass Beads Drilling Fluid
Light density drilling fluids with hollow glass beads (HGB) are growing in applications for drilling depleted formations with minimal losses and increasing rate of penetration. However, there is a lack of studies on how best to utilize typical solids control equipment, as current practices and procedures based on barite weighted muds are inefficient. We report a systematic full-scale test program to study and optimize solids control efficiency with shale shaker, hydrocyclone and centrifuge with such fluids. A non-aqueous-based hollow glass bead drilling fluid was formulated in the lab and a large batch (>40bbl) was prepared and tested using field scale solids control equipment. The inlet and effluent streams were monitored for density, particle size distribution, retort, rheology, and rheological properties and evaluated to determine the optimal equipment conditions to maximize solids control efficiency while minimizing loss of beads in the discharge stream. Variables included shaker screen sizes, flow rates and deck angles, hydrocyclone flowrates and operating pressures, centrifuge flowrates, differential speeds and other parameters. The amount of glass beads in the fluid was also varied. The drilling fluid was contaminated with a variety of sized solids which mimic drill solids. Based on the data gathered, effective procedures were developed for monitoring hollow glass beads and drill solids in each stream. Through the systematic test program, conditions could be identified to achieve high solids control efficiency from the shale shaker, the hydrocyclone, and the centrifuge. This was achieved at hollow glass beads concentrations of around 11% and 22% by volume. While some previous field experiences had indicated severe challenges with centrifuge usage with these fluids, effective centrifuge operation could be demonstrated once the proper settings were identified. Overall, the testing results showed that most of the drill solids can be removed using conventional solids control equipment and fluid properties (e.g. rheology, fluid loss, etc.) can be maintained at desired levels without the loss of any significant amount of beads with the discharged solids. Since the beads are lighter than base oil, their behavior in the solids control equipment is quite different from conventional solids. As such, equipment procedures and conventional settings had to be updated or changed. It was demonstrated that high solids control efficiency can be achieved even at high bead concentrations. This work addresses a barrier in the field application of these fluids and points towards practices that allow optimizing the application by minimizing drilling fluid dilution.
