A Study of Downhole Drillable Pulsing Cementing Device with Low Frequency Self-Excited Hydraulic Oscillation and its Field Application

Abstract

Abstract: Usually we pay more attention on how to improve gas well cementing quality in engineering design and field operations, and there are so many studies on cement agents but few researches on cement slurry injection technology. The field practice proved that conventional cementing technology can not ensure the cementing quality especially in gas well and some abnormal pressure wells. Most of the study is concentrated on cement agents and some cementing aspects such as wellbore condition, casing centralization etc. All the factors analysis on cementing quality has pointed out that a combination of good agents and suitable measurements can improve cementing quality effectively. The essential factor in cementing is to enhance the displacement efficiency, but normal hole condition and casing centralization are the fundamental for cementing only. Pulsing cementing is the technology that it can improve the displacement efficiency especially in reservoir well interval, also it can shorten the period from initial to ultimate setting time for cement slurry or improve thickening characteristics, and then to inhibit the potential gas or water channeling. Based on systematically research, aiming at improving in 7″ liner cementing, where there are multi gas reservoirs in long interval in SiChuan special gas field, well was completed with upper 7″ liner and down lower 5″ liner, poor cementing bonding before this time. So we stressed on the study of a downhole low frequency self-excited hydraulic oscillation pulsing cementing drillable device and its application, its successful field utilization proved that it is an innovative tool, and it can improve cementing quality obviously.
