A Trajectory Optimization Design Method for the Directional Wells in Jintan Salt-Cavern Underground Gas Storage of Jiangsu

The lower vertical section in the directional well of salt-cavern underground gas storage is too short,which leads to partial solution of salt cavity because the solution mining string is not vertical in the late stage.In order to deal with this situation,a method for calculating the minimum length of the lower vertical section in the directional well of salt-cavern underground gas storage was developed by means of the five-section borehole trajectory design method,combined with the related theories of material mechanics.In addition,the minimum length of the lower vertical section to satisfy the solution mining pipes of different sizes and steel grades was calculated.And this method has been applied in Jintan area 11 well times.It is indicated that the length of the lower vertical section in the directional injection/production well of salt-cavern underground gas storage has greater influences on the solution mining string in the late stage,and the method for calculating the section vertical section in the direction well of salt-cavern underground gas storage can be used to quantitatively determine the minimum length of the lower vertical section,which can avoid the occurrence of partial cavity solution in the process of solution mining to some extent,ensure the cavity volume,increase the utilization rate of salt beds and meet the field actual requirements.This method plays a certain role in guiding the drilling design and field construction of directional wells in salt-cavern underground gas storages.
