Calculation and Analysis of Rock Stress State near the Bit

Abstract:

Underbalance drilling has been applied to each oil field at home and abroad, due to the advantage of increasing the penetration rate substantially, protecting the reservoir effectively and reducing the drilling costs. But in respect of rock stress state characteristics near the bottom, relatively speaking, the study was rarely.Take the borehole near the bottom in underbalance drilling as the research object, analyze the influence of terrestrial stress, pore pressure and fluid column pressure on mechanics characteristic of rock in the bottom, to study the rock crushing efficiency, well deviation and hole stability of non-permeable wellbore and permeable wellbore in underbalanced drilling. The result shows that the mechanical properties of rocks near the bottom are subject to terrestrial stress, pore pressure and fluid column pressure. In non-permeable rock, the rock crushing efficiency, the penetration rate and the concentrated force of well trend to increase, the well trends to inclination. In permeable wellbore, with the permeability increasing, the rock crushing efficiency, the penetration rate and the concentrated force of well trend to decrease, the tendency of inclination becomes lower.
