Features of drilling and improving the quality of well cementing in conditions of abnormally low reservoir pressures
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2024) Stavychnyi, Yevhen; Femiak, Yaroslav; Vytyaz, Oleg; Ziaja, Jan
An overview and actuality of oil and gas production are provided. The article reviews the mining and geological features of the Verkhnyomaslovetske field of PJSC “Ukrnafta”. It is established that this field belongs to the category of fields with hard-to-recover hydrocarbon reserves. It is shown that the main complication in well drilling is the absorption of drilling mud. Attention is focused on the tasks and implemented solutions for well production casing. It has been established that the lack of necessary and inconsistency plugging materials to cementing conditions causes absorption of the grouting mortar, resulting in defects in the work and the need for additional time and financial costs to eliminate them. At the same time, it is difficult to estimate the extremely negative impact of grouting mortar absorption on the filtration and capacitance characteristics of the formation. The main parameters of the grouting mortar that caused its absorption are analysed. A new lightweight plugging material with a cement batter density of 1.25 g/cm3 was developed. The main parameters of the grouting mortar and stone based on the developed plugging material were investigated and tested in accordance with the thermobaric and technological conditions of cementing a typical well of the Verkhnyomaslovetske field. The obtained results of research make it possible to improve the quality of casing support under abnormally low reservoir pressures (ALRP) conditions at the Verkhnyomaslovetske field, as well as, in the future, at other fields with related mining and geological conditions.
