Drilling and Completion Technology of Horizontal Wells with Long Horizontal Section in the Yellow River Overlay Area of the Baode Coalbed Methane Field

The high-quality coalbed methane reservoir in the northern part of the Baode coalbed methane field was affected during its development by complex surface conditions including overlays of city and the Yellow River. The in-depth analysis and evaluation of geological characteristics of coal seams in the city and the Yellow River overlay area were carried out, taking into consideration of coal seam dip angles, vertical depth, and conventional drilling technology, so as to effectively exploit the gas reservoir. The optimized design for drilling and completion of intensive horizontal wells has been done through casing program upgrading, well trajectory control, optimization of drilling fluid system and completion technology. By means of the integration of new technologies, the economic production of high-quality CBM reserves in complex surface areas was realized. The ultimate horizontal section length can reach 1 700–2 000 m in coal seams at a vertical depth of 800–1 000 m with an upward inclination angle of 2°–5°. The developed completion system with FRP screen pipe can realize the function of re-entry, operation, and maintenance of the horizontal well, meet the requirement of coal mining and gas production integration. The field test has achieved good development results. The drilling and completion technology of horizontal well with a long horizontal section provides a new way for the exploitation of CBM in the Yellow River overlay area of the Baode Coalbed Methane Field.
