Borehole Stability Analysis and its Application in Xujiahe Formation of ZJ Block

Article Preview

Abstract:

The mainly borehole problems are sticking (collapse) and circulation loss in Xujiahe formation of ZJ block, so the drilling rate is very low. In order to improve the penetration of rate of ZJ block, the rock mechanical test method, ground stress test method, well history statistics method, and logging data analysis method were adopted. The borehole stability mechanism of xujiahe formation was analyzed. Combined with the drilling fluid experimental evaluation, the measures of improve wellbore stability of xujiahe formation was Proposed. Field application tests show that, the borehole problems and its processing time are greatly reduced using those proposed measures. The penetration of rate in the Xujiahe formation of test well increased 20-30%, and the application effect is obvious.
