摘要: 稠油热采井因周期性蒸汽吞吐,造成井筒内的温度波动及持续变化、循环加卸载引发的水泥环完整性问题将威胁到井筒的完整性,导致井口抬升等安全问题频发。为了弄清超高温热循环作用下水泥环完整性失效机理、界面胶结衰退规律,避免蒸汽吞吐过程中套管-水泥环界面胶结失效,提出了超高温热循环环境下水泥环胶结强度评价方法,自主研发了集浇筑、养护、加热及测试一体化的水泥环胶结强度特色测试装置,并对“生产套管-水泥环-技术套管”组合体在超高温热循环作用下的界面完整性和力学完整性进行了测试及评价,获得了水泥环在3种不同温度(常温↗150 ℃↘常温,常温↗200 ℃↘常温,常温↗250 ℃↘常温)热循环作用下的完整性及界面力学性能实验结果。研究结果表明:高温热循环作用对水泥环力学及界面力学完整性具有显著的负面影响;随着温度和热循环次数的增大,水泥环界面力学性能显著降低。150 ℃热循环7次、200 ℃热循环5次以及250 ℃热循环1次后,套管与水泥环界面脱离;150 ℃热循环13次、200 ℃热循环9次以及250 ℃热循环7次后,水泥环界面剪切力、化学胶结力、摩擦力以及剪切胶结强度均降低为0,水泥环界面力学性能丧失。水泥环本体失效均以拉伸破坏为主,包括径向裂纹和周向裂纹;径向开裂,周向裂纹以及界面脱离使得水泥环完整性(本位完整性、密封完整性以及力学完整性)失效,水泥环产生连通的微裂缝、微环隙,造成水泥环变形、损伤、泄露,套管成为自由段,引发严重的环空带压、井口抬升等安全问题。

Abstract: The failure of cement sheath integrity caused by temperature fluctuations and continuous changes in the wellbore and cyclic loading and unloading in periodic steam stimulation of heavy oil thermal recovery wells will threaten the integrity of the wellbore, lead to frequent safety issues such as wellhead movement. A method for evaluating the bonding strength of cement sheath under high-temperature thermal cycling environment was proposed in this paper to clarify the failure mechanism of cement sheath integrity and the degradation law of interface bonding strength under high-temperature thermal cycling, and to avoid the failure of the interface bonding between the casing and the cement sheath during steam stimulation. A proprietary testing device for the bonding strength of cement sheath that integrates pouring, curing, heating, and testing was independently developed. The interface integrity and mechanical integrity of the "production casing-cement sheath-technical casing" system under thermal cycling were tested and evaluated. Experimental results on the integrity and interfacial bonding performance of cement sheath under thermal cycles at three different temperatures (30 ℃↗150 ℃↘30 ℃, 30 ℃↗200 ℃↘30 ℃, 30 ℃↗250 ℃↘30 ℃) obtained. The research results indicate: the ultra-high temperature thermal cycling has a significant negative impact on the mechanical and interfacial integrity of the cement sheath. With the increase of temperature and thermal cycle times, the shear strength of cement sheath interface decreases sharply, and the integrity failure degree of cement sheath body also increases. The cement sheath interface debonds after 7th thermal cycle of 150 ℃, 5th thermal cycle of 200 ℃, 1st thermal cycle of 250 ℃, respectively. The interaction between casing and cement sheath completely disappear (the shearing force, chemical bonding force, friction, shearing strength is all equal to 0) after 13th thermal cycle of 150 ℃, 9th thermal cycle of 200 ℃, 7th thermal cycle of 250 ℃, respectively. The body failure includes radial cracking and circumferential cracking. Radial cracking, circumferential cracking, and interface debond cause the failure of the cement sheath integrity, sealing integrity, and interface integrity. Micro cracks and micro gaps will generate which cause deformation, damage, and leakage of cement sheath. The casing becomes a free section, causing safety issues such as annular pressure and wellhead movement. -
