Summary: | Background: Coiled tubing operation is a high-quality operation method that considers both cost and efficiency in current oil and gas well operations. There is a significant difference between the calculation and prediction before operation and the actual operation. The reason is that the complex wellbore trajectory makes it difficult to evaluate the contact state between coiled tubing and wellbore, resulting in a significant error in the pipe string mechanics calculation and analysis.
Methods: Aiming at the contact problem between coiled tubing and wellbore in the process of coiled tubing operation, the digital twin unit of coiled tubing and wellbore is established in this study. By constructing a feedback correction collision contact algorithm, the contact state of coiled tubing and casing under different three-dimensional trajectory models was simulated.
Results: The research results show that the digital twin coiled tubing and contact algorithm can effectively predict the contact state of coiled tubing operations; the verification model shows that the contact algorithm can accurately analyze the contact state of different well trajectories.
Conclusions: The digital twin of the coiled tubing operation structure and its contact algorithm can effectively solve the problem of deterministic friction state in the process of mechanical calculation of the tubing string, which has important guiding significance and engineering value for the mechanical calculation and operation safety analysis of coiled tubing operation. |
