摘要: 油基钻井液清洗是页岩油气等非常规资源勘探开发长期面临的难题,冲洗液是解决该难题的主要手段,但目前冲洗液在界面处的残留特性及其对水泥石影响的研究较少。建立了基于荧光染料染色法定量表征含有机溶剂的冲洗液在套管壁及井壁处残留量的方法,并且分析了残留冲洗液对水泥石力学特性影响规律。研究结果表明,冲洗液在顶替钻井液后油基钻井液残留量少,冲洗液中的有机组分残留量相对更高,且更为粗糙的地层壁面的残留量更多。有机组分会降低界面处水泥石的抗压强度、增大渗透率,但纳米乳液中的油滴较小且粒径分布均匀,可以降低纳米乳液对水泥石微观结构的影响。纳米乳液在水泥浆中的良好稳定性是维持其油滴尺寸小且分布均匀的关键前提,非离子表面活性剂在水泥颗粒上的吸附量较低,降低了水泥颗粒对表面活性剂界面膜稳定性的影响,有利于保证纳米乳液有机相液滴在水泥浆中的稳定性。该研究建立的残留定量分析方法及对水泥石影响规律的认识,可为冲洗液体系的性能评价与优化设计提供科学依据,为深层和非常规油气资源的高效勘探开发提供支撑。Abstract: The cleaning of oil-based drilling fluids is a long-term problem faced with the exploration and development of unconventional resources such as shale oil and gas. Flushing fluid is the primary means to address this problem; however, few studies are conducted currently on the residual characteristics of flushing fluids at the interfaces and their impacts on set cement. A method of quantitatively measuring the amount of organic solvent-contained residual flushing fluids on the casing wall and borehole wall was established based on the fluorescent dye staining technique, and the pattern of how residual flushing fluids influence the mechanical properties of a set cement was analyzed. The research results show that after displacing the oil-based drilling fluid, the amount of the residual oil-based drilling fluid is lower, while the amount of the organic components in the residual flushing fluid is relatively higher, and the amount of these residual organic components is remarkably higher on rougher formation walls. The organic components of the flushing fluid can reduce the compressive strength and increase the permeability of the set cement at the interface of the cement sheath; however, the oil droplets in a nanoemulsion are small and have a uniform particle size distribution, which help mitigate the impact of the nanoemulsion on the microstructure of set cement. The good stability of a nanoemulsion in a cement slurry is a key prerequisite for the oil droplets to have small sizes and uniform distribution. Nonionic surfactants exhibit low adsorption capacity on the surface of cement particles, which reduces the impact of the cement particles on the stability of the interface film of the surfactants, and helps maintain the stability of the organic droplets of the nanoemulsion in a cement slurry. The quantitative method established for residual flushing fluid analysis and the understanding of the pattern how set cement is influenced obtained in this study provide a scientific basis for performance evaluation and optimization design of flushing fluids, as well as support for efficient exploration and development of deep and unconventional oil and gas resources.
