摘要

Wellbore instability is one of the main problems during drilling in rocks. This problem might cause serious complications in wells and in some cases it can lead to expensive operational problems. Drilling fluid (mud) is utilized to maintain the borehole stability during drilling, because it produces an opposite pressure to stabilize the borehole.Asuitable mud density range (mud window) should be determined considering the material properties, stress distributions around the borehole etc. During deep drilling processes thermal effects are significant for the borehole stability, because they change the stress distribution near the borehole in formof thermal stress, i.e. expansion by heating or shrinkage during cooling in the near-field of a wellbore. In this paper, thermal effects were studied in low and high permeable formations (under conduction and conductionadvection). Temperature change under conduction or advection condition can be calculated, among others, by using the finite difference method. With known temperature distributions the thermal stress is calculated by using numeric integration. To simulate the temperature and thermal stress distributions, the program “Real-Time Optimization of the Mud Window” was developed by using program language C#. The developed program was also verified with FDM code FLAC3D. The two results match very well to each other. Thermal stresses were calculated in formations with different permeability under conduction und conduction-advection conditions. It is found that the thermal stress distribution in the conduction-advection process does not differ from it in the conduction process in case of a very low permeability (e.g. 10.20 m2), while the advection process dominates in case of a relatively high permeability (e.g. >10.15 m2). At the end, the thermal effect on wellbore stability is analyzed considering the calculation of minimum mud pressure.
