Abstract:

Southeastern Chongqing is the first area to realize commercial development of shale gas in China. According to the main development progress of drilling and completion technologies in this area, 10 key technologies are summarized, which are, casing program optimization, severe loss control in shallow layers, low-cost managed pressure drilling, well trajectory control based on geology-engineering integration, bit selection, oil-based drilling fluid with low oil-water ratio, ROP enhancement through drilling parameter optimization, cementing technology for leakage wells, completion technology for preventing trapped pressure in annulus, and factory-like drilling technology. In order to make up for the deficiency in drilling and completion technologies, six directions of further research are proposed, which are, drilling equipment automation, drilling parameter enhancement, water-based drilling fluid, complex situation treatment, small hole drilling and completion, and shale gas drilling with long horizontal section, which aim to improve the drilling and completion technologies and the exploration and development profits in southeastern Chongqing.

Key words: southeastern Chongqing, shale gas, drilling and completion, technology development, key technology, development direction
