海上油田分层测试分层防砂管柱的研制与应用

针对海上油田高速强采情况下,多个油层一次射孔,同时开采所出现的问题,为摸清各个层的地层情况,应实施分层测试分层防砂工艺。研制的分层测试分层防砂管柱上部接有悬挂丢手封隔器,每层之间用层间封隔器分开,中间接有夹壁滤砂管使每一层形成一独立的封闭单元,每一层单元有一微电脑智能开关,用以控制每一层的开启和关闭,由于有些疏松砂岩油层出砂较严重,还须配以防砂工艺来达到其既能测试又能防砂生产的目的。分层测试分层防砂一体化管柱及测试工艺对于油田细分层系的合理开发以及注水工作的开展具有重要的意义。     

井下温度对钻柱扭转振动固有频率影响的讨论

钻柱共振是引起深井钻具失效的主要原因,钻柱工作在井下的高温环境中,温度的升高必然使钻柱的固有频率发生变化。分析了井下温度对钻柱扭转振动固有频率的影响,推导出了井下任意温度时钻柱扭转振动固有频率的计算公式。通过实际算例,讨论了井下温度对钻柱扭转振动固有频率的影响。分析结果表明:钻柱扭转振动固有频率随着温度的升高而降低,不管钻柱多长,二阶固有频率的降低幅度都大于一阶固有频率的降低幅度,但二者差别不大。当井下温度不超过200℃时,钻柱扭转振动固有频率的变化幅度不会超过常温下计算值的3.7%。当温度升高时,钻柱扭转振动固有频率的降低幅度与钻柱长度关系很小,可以忽略钻柱长度的影响。任意温度时钻柱扭转振动固有频率与温度成近似线性关系,可以根据常温下的计算值和温度变化值通过一个简单的一次函数来计算,避免了求解超越方程的困难。     

注气井中油管轴向位移计算比较分析

为了确定油管在正常作业、注入措施作业中封隔器的坐封位置、轴向位移补偿量以及判断封隔器是否解封,根据弹性力学理论得出了不同条件下油管柱的轴向位移量,综合考虑了在不同工况下由活塞效应、螺旋弯曲、径向压力、温度变化、松弛力以及摩阻等因素引起的油管轴向位移;同时考虑了在注气油管内气体的横向压力效应,运用VB语言编制程序,将各自计算结果进行了比较分析。结果表明,在注气油管内考虑横向压力效应时与常规油管长度计算油管轴向位移有明显差异;油管内液体流动引起的油管轴向伸长与注入速度的平方成正比,在注入速度过大时对轴向位移有明显影响。     

新型水力泵排液工艺

酸化或压裂是改造油气层措施中常规的也是最有效的方法之一。问题是酸化或压裂结束后,采取何种工艺及时返排出残酸,减少残液二次沉淀对油层的污染。同时常规TCP(油管传输负压射孔)+DST(地层测试器)二联作测试工艺在遇到低压、低渗等非自喷油层时,要想取准油层产能、压力,收集到有代表性产液样品资料,困难很大。针对以上问题,大港油田钻采院研制了新型水力喷射泵,该泵可与酸化、压裂及射孔+测试等工艺配套使用,在实现一趟施工管柱同时完成几项工作的同时,利用喷射泵深抽、连续强排的技术特点,取得了较好效果。     

基于实际井眼轨迹的抽油杆柱API设计方法

目前的抽油杆柱设计方法大都基于设计井眼轨迹或经验公式，因此设计的抽油杆柱与井眼的匹配性并没有达到最优，结果可能影响了抽油杆柱的受力特性和寿命。概述了目前现有的抽油杆柱设计方法，提出了基于实际井眼轨迹的抽油杆柱API设计方法，即考虑到在三维空间中井下粘滞阻力及动载的影响，利用微单元分析方法计算出轴向载荷与轴向应力，然后在此基础上进行杆柱组合设计，并给出了设计流程。以江苏油田永21-3井为例，对几种设计方法的设计结果进行了对比分析，结果表明，江苏油田目前采用的抽油杆柱设计方法包含了人为经验因素，并不是最优的杆柱设计结果，有待进一步改进。

深井裸眼封隔器分段酸压管柱打捞实践

安岳气田灯影组气藏广泛采用大斜度井/水平井裸眼封隔器分段酸压工艺试油完井,悬挂封隔器及下部管柱被“永久性”留在井下。如果利用原裸眼侧钻,则需要打捞分段酸压管柱至套管鞋以下30 m左右。MX126井和GS121井前期打捞作业历时均超过50 d,打捞效率非常低,主要原因为：悬挂封隔器双向锚定,裸眼封隔器和连接油管埋卡严重且位于大斜度井段,压井后长时间静止埋卡越来越严重;钻井液压井后切割油管受阻,没有完成落鱼切割分段;套磨铣导致封隔器解体,倒扣时落鱼出现多处退扣,倒扣打捞效率低。针对上述问题,优化了打捞技术措施：钻井液压井前,采用泵送径向切割工艺在清水中切割油管,确保切割成功率;采用带压拔出插管循环压井,缩短钻井液浸泡时间,降低次生卡钻风险;优选磨铣工具和打捞工具,优化磨铣工艺和震击解卡打捞工艺,维持落鱼完整性、力求捞出整段被切割落鱼。该技术成功应用于MX146井和GS127井后期的打捞作业,分别用时12 d和5 d。该技术可以显著提高裸眼封隔器分段酸压管柱的打捞效率,具有推广应用价值。     

Fuel conversion characteristics of black liquor and pyrolysis oil mixtures: Efficient gasification with inherent catalyst

Alkali metals inherent in black liquor (BL) have strong catalytic activity during gasification. A catalytic co-gasification process based on BL with pyrolysis oil (PO) has the potential to be a part of efficient and fuel-flexible biofuel production systems. The objective of the paper is to investigate how adding PO into BL alters fuel conversion under gasification conditions. First, the conversion times of single fuel droplet were observed in a flat flame burner under different conditions. Fuel conversion times of PO/BL mixtures were significantly lower than PO and comparable to BL. Initial droplet size (300–1500 μm) was the main variable affecting devolatilization, indicating control by external heat transfer. Char oxidation was affected by droplet size and the surrounding gas composition. Then, the intrinsic reactivity of char gasification was measured in an isothermal thermogravimetric analyser at T = 993–1133 K under the flow of CO₂–N₂ mixtures. All the BL-based samples (100% BL, 20% PO/80% BL, and 30% PO/70% BL on mass basis) showed very high char conversion. Conversion rate of char gasification for PO/BL mixtures was comparable to that of pure BL although the fraction of alkali metal in char decreased because of mixing. The reactivities of BL and BL/PO chars were higher than the literature values for solid biomass and coal chars by several orders of magnitude. The combined results suggest that fuel mixtures containing up to 30% of PO on mass basis may be feasible in existing BL gasification technology.     

The combustion characteristics of high-heating-rate chars from untreated and torrefied biomass fuels

Torrefaction of biomass is of great interest at the present time, because of its potential to upgrade biomass into a fuel with improved properties. This study considers the fundamentals of combustion of two biomass woods: short rotation willow coppice and eucalyptus and their torrefied counterparts. Chars were prepared from the untreated and torrefied woods in a drop tube furnace at 1100 °C. Fuels and chars were characterised for proximate, ultimate and surface areas. Thermogravimetric analysis was used to derive pyrolysis and char combustion kinetics for the untreated and treated fuels and their chars. It was found that the untreated fuels devolatilise faster than their torrefied counterparts. Similarly, the chars from the untreated biomass were also found to be more reactive than chars from torrefied fuels, when comparing reaction rates. However, the activation energy value (Ea) for combustion of the untreated eucalyptus char was higher than that for the torrefied eucalyptus chars. Moreover, the eucalyptus chars were more reactive than the willow char analogues, although they had seen a lower extent of burn off, which is also a parameter indicative of reactivity. Similar trends in were also observed from their intrinsic reactivities; i.e. chars from the untreated fuel were more reactive than chars from the torrefied fuel and eucalyptus chars were more reactive than willow chars. Chars were also studied using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. This latter method enabled a semi-quantitative analysis of char potassium contents, which led to an estimation of potassium partitioning during char formation and burnout. Results show a good correlation between potassium release and percent burnout. With respect to the effect of torrefaction on fuel-N, findings suggest that torrefaction would be beneficial for pf combustion in terms of nitrogen emissions, as it resulted in lower fuel-N contents and ∼72–92% of the fuel-nitrogen was released with the volatile fraction upon devolatilisation at 1100 °C.
