WELLBORE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF EXTENDED REACH WELLS
JIN Yan, CHEN Mian, LIU Gonghui, CHEN Zhixi
1999, 5(1): 6-13.
Abstract (380) PDF (157KB)(24)
Abstract:
Stability of extended reach wells is an important subject. Instability problems like lost circulation and borehole collapse during drilling operation lead to poor hole conditions causing a lot of problems like poor cement displacement and others. As a result, excessive nonproductive time and expensi...

Abstract (188) PDF (139KB)(23)
Abstract:
Taking into account the behavior that the permeability of deformable porous media varies with their porosity, the liquid-solid problem of liquid flowing through porous media under general plain stress condition is discussed.First the goveming equations are published, then a decoupled method is propo...
THE PROBLEMS OF FLUID-SOLID COUPLING AND ITS ADVANCE IN RESEARCH
DONG Pingchuan, XU Xiaohe, HE Shunli
1999, 5(1): 19-28.
Abstract (329) PDF (158KB)(15)
Abstract:
In traditional seepage theory it is assumed in general that the medium or the solid skeleton through which the fluids flow is perfectly rigid, that is, the solid frame containing the fluids does not deform either elastically or plastically due to the pressure of the incumbent fluid. The coupling bet...
FUNDAMENTAL EQUATION AND FINITE ELEMENT MODELING FOR OIL AND GAS MIGRATION DRIVED BY CRUSTAL STRESS

Abstract:
In this paper are described first the differential equation and finite element formula for fluid migration under the action of crust stress in a porous rock. Then the oil migration potential field in Liaohe oil field are calculated by using finite element method based on crustal stress measurement. ...

Abstract:
In this paper we presented a review on the current situation of mechanical stability of wellbore in mud-shale bed and for the first time introduced large deformation theory into the calculation of elastoplastic deformation of wellbore and adjacent rock.Using Lagrangian method, we analyzed the proble...

Abstract (253) PDF (139KB)(19)
Abstract:
In this paper, the distribution of in-situ stress and the changed stress field after boring are studied. By use of three-dimensioal FEM and a adaptive boundary load, an outlying oil field of Daqing is modeled as an example. The results, including stress direction, the relationslip between stress and...
A STUDY ON 3-D FINITE ELEMENT INVERSE MODEL

1999, 5(1): 47-51.
Abstract (234) PDF (178KB)(9)
Abstract:
Based on 3-D joint-element, the theory and methodology are discussed about inversion of geodetic data. The important FEM and inversion formula are given in detail; also a related code is developed. By use of this program, a FEM model is tested, which verifies the validity of the method here presente...
NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF STRESS FIELD IN RESERVOIR
YIN Youquan, CHEN Hu, JIANG Tian, SHAN Wenw en
1999, 5(1): 52-61.
Abstract (227) PDF (378KB)(16)
Abstract:
This paper gives two methods to simulate a stress field in the reservoir. The first method is that some measured stress data and the model of a three-dimensional membrane element are used to detemine the far field stress boundary condition with a back analysis and thereby to evaluate the stress fiel...
NEW NUMERICAL SIMULATION METHOD OF ROCK FAILURE PROCESS UNDER ROCKBURST AND EXCAVATING

1999, 5(1): 62-66.
Abstract (214) PDF (177KB)(9)
Abstract:
The nonlinear deformation of rock is caused by heterogeneity and anisotropy.A newly developed numerical code, RFPA (2D) (Rock Failure Process Analysis), is applied to study of failure process of rock under excavating, and macroscopic non-linear behavior of rock may be caused by continually fracturin...
Laboratory Study on Effect of Hydration to Shale Mechanics

1999, 5(1): 67-72.
Abstract (262) PDF (128KB)(11)
Abstract:
On the basis of analyses of wellbore unstability mechanism, the changing law of shale mechanics parameters was established after shale hydration by the experimentation. The results from contrasts of collapsing pressures between unhydrated shale and hydrated one indicate that collapsing pressure for ...
LABORATORY TEST METHOD STUDY OF DEEP ROCK PHYSICAL MECHANICS

1999, 5(1): 73-77.
Abstract (227) PDF (91KB)(14)
Abstract:
Using the triaxial rock mechanics testing unit manufactured by American MTS Co, rock strength and deformation behavior are studied. The test results of core specimens show that rocks with the same lithologic properties indicate different deforming behavior while rocks with different lithologic prope...
