Received 16 May 013; accepted 6 June 013 Abstract Well kick is an important basic parameter in the well drillin operation, and it directly determines the Casin layers as well as casin depth. At the same time it also directly determines whether the well drillin will be performed continuously or whether the well-killin operation should be carried out in the well drillin process. Based on the current questions about the well kick tolerance values, the influence caused by several factors such as invasion amount of formation fluid, the distribution of formation fluid in the wellbore and the shut-in casin pressure should be taken into consideration. Accordin to the annular multiphase flow theory, the well kick tolerance calculation model is brouht out, besides the relationship between well kick tolerance and formation fluid permeability as well as formation pressure forecastin error is simulated and analyzed. Based on the above analysis it can be seen from the result that when the permeability increases, the well kick tolerance oes up by followin the exponential function module. And when the formation pressure forecastin error increases, well kick tolerance oes up sinificantly. Therefore the simulation result could used to effectively direct the well structure desin for complex deep wells.

INTRODUCTION The well kick tolerance reflects the rick deree of well kick phenomenon. The value of this parameter is determined by the ability of controllin the well kick in the field. Currently, there are several kinds of definitions and calculation methods for well kick tolerance [1]. In some oversea reports the pit ain (PG), drillin fluid density increment and balanced formation pressure forecastin error are mainly used to represent this parameter. Domestically, well kick tolerance means the allowable value of well kick amount which is enerated because of the error of formation pressure forecastin, which is described by equivalent density. And it s relevant to the formation pressure forecastin error. The value of well kick tolerance is mainly determined accordin to empirical operation. When the equipment technoloy is under ood condition, the value could be set very low while if there is hih risk in the well drillin operation, the value could be set very hih relatively []. Alon with the development towards vertical depth direction of the well drillin operation the drillin formation is complex, the drillin pressure layer system is rich and formation information is uncertain. Under these situation, when the reularly-recommended well kick value is used the hiher error miht be inevitable. In this essay, a series of factors such as permeability of formation, borehole, drill strin size, drillin fluid, well depth, technoloy and operation are taken into comprehensive consideration. Furthermore, the as invasion to formations with different permeability is iven simulation and solution by applyin the annular multiphase flow theory. In the simulation operation, the relationship between well kick tolerance and formation permeability, formation pressure forecastin error is analyzed, which provides enhanced direct to well structure desin for complex deep wells. 1. CALCULATION MODEL OF WELL KICK TOLERANCE Accordin to the characteristics of fluid invasion in formations and by combinin annular fluid mobility form and phase distribution under different situations, the key parameters such as the annulus pressure profile, volume fraction profile and shut-in casin pressure are determined correspondinly. Meanwhile the time factor which is related to formation fluid invasion is taken into consideration, therefore the calculation method of well kick tolerance of formation is enerated. 1.1 Basic Assumption of Annular Multiphase Flow Model [3,4] 1 Continuum theory, which means each phase of fluid is composed of consecutive mass points The fluid in the well is treated based on Black oil model, in other words the phase conversion between oil and as is taken into consideration, however there is no mass transfer between as and drillin fluid (or water) 3 The compressibility of drillin fluid (or water) is not taken into consideration 4 The fluid mobility belons to one-dimension mobility which is followin the well borehole direction 5 It s assumed that there is stable radial heat-transfer between the formation and well borehole, then the fluid inside the well is situated as thermodynamic equilibrium state. 1.

Therefore it s necessary to do research to the temperature field inside wellbore. There are three staes of recyclin of drillin fluid which are shown as follows. 1 Drillin fluid is pumped into the drillin pipe and moves downward inside the tube pipe; Drillin fluid flows out throuh the drillin bit and enters annular space; 3 Drillin fluid moves inside the annular space and returns back to round surface. Basic assumption [5-6] : 1 The formation heat transfer belons to steady radial heat-transfer; The density of rock, specific heat and thermal conductivity don t chane when the temperature chanes. Besides, specific heat and thermal conductivity are equal in horizontal and vertical directions;3 The heat source, axial forced convection heat transfer and radial forced convection heat transfer inside pipe strin and annular space should be taken into consideration Certain stae of drillin fluid inside the drillin pipe is chosen as the control body and the temperature model of drillin fluid inside the drillin pipe could be received: Temperature field equation inside drillin pipe: Tp Tp Apρmvpcm + mpcm πru p p( Ta Tp) 0 (6) Certain stae of drillin fluid inside the annular space is chosen as the control body and the temperature model of drillin fluid inside the annular space could be received: Temperature field equation inside annular space: Ta Ta Aaρmvacm macm πru a a( Te Ta) + (7) π ru p p( Ta Tp) 0 Heat exchane equation on the interface of annular space and formation: Ta Ua( Te Ta) Ke 0 (8) t r ra 1.5 Phase Volume Fraction Gas phase volume fraction: vs E C ( v + v + v + v ) + v s so sc sm r A (9) Drillins volume fraction: (1 E ) vsc Ec (10) Cc ( vsc + vso + vsm ) + (1 E ) vcr Oil phase volume fraction: (1 E Ec ) vso Eo (11) Co ( vso + vsm ) + (1 E Ec ) vor Drillin fluid volume fraction: E 1 E E E (1) m o c 1.6 Multiphase Flow Friction Pressure Gradient Bubble flow P fmρmulvmul (13) f D f m can be calculated by usin the implicit formula which is brouht out by Colebrook, as follows: 1 ε 1.5 4l (14) f D m ReM fm Slu flow Usually, only the flow friction loss which is enerated in the slu section of the fluid is taken into consideration, therefore the fraction pressure radient calculation formulation could be received as follows: P flρlvl (1 E ) (15) f D The fraction with annular flow mode comes from the hih-speed movement of as core flow, therefore the correspondin as core fraction pressure radient calculation formulation could be described as follows: P f cen ρ cen v (16) f D f cen could be confirmed accordin to the correspondin Wallis formula [1 + 75(1 E )] fcen 0.5 (17) R e 1.7 Physical Property Parameters Calculation of Formation Fluid 1 Gas compression factor Gas compression factor represents the ratio of the real volume and ideal volume of as with same quality under certain temperature and pressure condition.

There are hue difference about the amount of natural as which is dissolved in formation oil due to different types of oil reservoir. And solution as oil ratio is one physical parameter which could evaluate the ability of formation oil to dissolve natural as. And it means the as amount which is dissolved in the formation oil under the temperature and pressure of the reservoir (Standard condition). c Rs Cr 1 p exp[ c3 1 / ( T+ 1)] (4) ro 6 Saturated pressure of formation oil The saturated pressure of formation oil means the pressure under which the dissolved natural as in the oil starts to separate from the oil under certain formation condition. The value of saturated pressure is mainly determined by the components of oil and as, as well as the temperature of oil reservoir. And it should be determined by PVT samplin analysis method. However if such analysis material is not existin, it could be determined by the Standin formula [7~8] as follows R s Pb 4.47[ exp T ] (5) r ro 7 Volume coefficient of formation oil When the oil is exploited and transferred onto the round surface, the dissolved as in the oil starts to separate from the oil and the volume of previous oil declines because the decrease of temperature and pressure. The volume coefficient of formation oil means the ratio of volume of oil underround and volume of oil after the dissolved natural as separate from the oil on the round surface. It could be determined by the Vazues and Bes empirical formulas [9], as follows.

Therefore the pressure at the well bottom will be lower and lower, then pressure drop will increase accordinly. Hence the more as enters the well borehole and overflow becomes more and more severe. And it is very accurate to demonstrate this process by usin this formula. It can be discovered by research that under the certain well structure, the well kick tolerance is mainly influenced by formation pressure forecastin error, formation permeability and formation fluid invasion. To be more specific, the increment of drillin fluid pond represents the as invasion amount into the wellbore, which is relevant to formation permeability and overflow time. Therefore, the main factors what influence the well kick tolerance are formation pressure forecastin error and formation permeability.. THE CALCULATION EXAMPLE OF WELL KICK TOLERANCE Accordin to the eoloical and drillin materials about Northeast-Sichuan reion and by usin the well kick tolerance calculation method which is mentioned in this essay, the chane principle of well kick tolerance alon with the chane of permeability and formation pressure forecastin error is simulated and analyzed..1 The Chane Principle of Well Kick Tolerance Alon with the Chane of Time and Permeability The chane principle of well kick tolerance which is influenced by different as phase permeability is observed (The overflow time is 10 min, 30 min, 60 min and 90 min separately) and the correspondin result is shown in Fiure 1, as follows. Besides the basic data for the well kick tolerance analysis and calculation are shown in Table 1. Copyriht Canadian Research & Development Center of Sciences and Cultures 7

In other words, the averae well kick tolerance almost remains around /cm 3. Furthermore with this rane the well kick tolerance is almost not influenced by time. When the permeability is hiher than μm, the well kick tolerance beins to show sinificant chane. And when the permeability increases, the well kick tolerance oes up based on the index function trend. To be more specific, when the overflow time is about 90 min and the permeability is around μm, the well kick tolerance increases up to /cm 3 approximately.. Chane Principle of Well Kick Tolerance Alon with the Chane of Formation Pressure Forecastin Error The principle of influence to well kick tolerance which is caused by different formation pressure forecastin error is researched (The relevant formation permeability is , , , , μm and μm separately) and the result is shown in Fiure, as follows. It can be seen from the Fiure that the formation pressure forecastin error could influence the well kick tolerance apparently. When the formation pressure forecastin error is about.5 MPa, the well kick tolerance is only below 0.0 /cm 3. However when the formation pressure forecastin error increases up to 5MPa the well kick tolerance is hiher than /cm 3. At the same time it can be received from the Fiure that the well kick tolerance curves which show the low-deree permeability situation almost overlap toether. It means formation pressure forecastin accuracy is the main factor which influences the well kick tolerance. However when the permeability is relatively hiher, the well kick tolerance increases very fast alon with the increment of formation pressure forecastin error. Hence it means formation pressure forecastin accuracy and permeability are two major factors which affect the well kick tolerance. 73 Copyriht Canadian Research & Development Center of Sciences and Cultures

() Well kick tolerance is mainly determined by formation pressure forecastin error, formation permeability and formation fluid invasion amount. And increment of drillin fluid pond represents the as invasion amount into the wellbore, which is relevant to formation permeability and overflow time. Hence, well kick tolerance is mainly influenced by formation pressure forecastin error and formation permeability. (3) It can be seen from the simulation result that when the overflow time oes up, the well kick tolerance almost has no chane alon with chane of permeability. However when the permeability is hiher than certain value, well kick tolerance increases based on index function trend alon with the increment of permeability. When the formation pressure forecastin error increases, the well kick tolerance oes up dramatically. REFERENCES [1] Li, K. X. (1990). A Maual Drillin (pp ). Beijin: Petroleum Industry Press.
