The combination of critical perforation parameters for double casing is obtained by studying the influencing factors of the jet-forming process,perforation depth, diameter, and stress changes of the inner and outer casing. The single-target perforation experiments under high-temperature and high-pressure(HTHP) conditions and ground full-scale ring target perforation tests are designed to verify the accuracy of numerical simulation results. The reduced factor is adopted as the quantitative measure of perforation depth and diameter for different types of perforation charge under different conditions. The results show that the perforation depth reduction increases with temperature and pressure, and the reduced factor is between 0.67 and 0.87 under HTHP conditions of 130℃/44 MPa and 137℃/60 MPa. Comparing the results of the numerical simulation and the full-scale test correction, the maximum error is less than 8.91%, and this numerical simulation has strong reliability. This research provides a basis for a reasonable range of double-cased perforation parameters and their optimal selection.展开更多

The three-dimensional finite element model together with the tensile criterion of rock materials is employed to systematically investigate the influence of perforation parameters, such as perforation density, perforation orientation, perforation diameter, and perforation length as well as wellbore ellipticity, in vertical wells on the formation fracturing pressure. Based on a six-month simulation research in the University of Petroleum, China, several conclusions are drawn for the first time. Perforation density and perforation orientation angle are the most important parameters controlling the formation fracturing pressure. As the perforation density increases, the fracturing pressure decreases, not linearly but progressively. The fracturing pressure increases with the perforation orientation angle only when the angle is less than 45 degrees, and the relationship becomes very flat when the angle is 45 degrees. However, with regards to the perforation diameter and perforation length, their influences are much slighter. The wellbore ellipticity has a significant effect on the formation fracturing pressure. It is obvious that fracturing pressure increases linearly with the ellipticity of the wellbore.展开更多
