Abstract:
Blowout is a major safety concern for well control in oil and gas well engineering and well killing is an important technical means to avoid blowout. Mastering the initial state of the wellbore is the basis to ensure well killing. The traditional gas column model cannot effectively explain the development law of wellbore pressure. Therefore, this paper is based on the actual killing conditions and the principle of gas-liquid two-phase flow. This paper establishes the physical model and mathematical model of the initial state of the wellbore annulus under overflow conditions. By means of the finite difference method and cyclic iteration calculation, the initial state of the wellbore annulus can be accurately inverted, and the calculation results are verified by an example. The results show that, when the wellhead pressure is determined, the wellbore pressure distribution and annular air phase distribution are more reasonable and the initial length of the overflow section is larger, the calculation results of the inversion method are closer to the actual engineering situation. The findings of this study can help to better understand wellbore state before killing and provide a theoretical basis for optimizing killing parameters, which is of great significance for avoiding well control safety risks during killing.
