    Abstract
  • Deep formations in deep water area are developed with fractures and fissures, fluctuations in wellbore pressure during drilling can easily induce ballooning effect which is made complex by the high temperature high pressure (HTHP) downhole environment. Studies on the ballooning effect of fractures in HTHP deep formations in deep water area are important to the control of borehole pressure and the safety of drilling operation. Based on this idea, a temperature-pressure coupling model for HTHP borehole-fracture-formation system is constructed and used to analyze the dynamic response and affecting factors of the ballooning effect. The results of the study show that at high temperatures and low flowrates, the ballooning effect is to some extent inhibited. Increasing the yield point and decreasing the specific heat capacity of a drilling fluid are both beneficial to reducing the amount of the drilling fluid lost. The plastic viscosity of the drilling fluid significantly affects the ballooning effect, and a critical plastic viscosity can be determined at which the amount of the drilling fluid lost is minimum. When drilling in formations with long fractures which have strong deformable capacities, the probability of encountering ballooning effect is higher. Meanwhile, when drilling in formations with small and wide fractures, more severe ballooning effect may be induced. The research results can be used as a theoretical support to the prevention and control of ballooning effect in fractured formation drilling.
