Abstract:

In order to solve the problems of long perforation cycle, high cost and self-locking of long horizontal section of coiled tubing transmission, a key test for tractor perforation has been carried out. At present, the staged fracturing of horizontal shale gas wells mainly uses pumping bridge plug perforation. In the first part of the frac well, because of the lack of pumping channels, coiled tubing transmission perforation is used usually, which need longer operating cycle and higher cost, and is not beneficial to reduce cost and improve efficiency. Nanchuan Shale Gas Field has expanded the business scope of the roller tractor by introducing and improving some tools, and realized the tractor perforation of shale gas horizontal wells. The tractor perforation powered by a tractor transports the perforation gun to the position and ignites the gun. By on-site improvement and testing, Nanchuan Shale Gas Field has solved the problems of voltage isolation protection joints, shock absorption joints and adapters, mastered the performance of tractor perforation and applicable conditions, and provided experience for subsequent construction and basis. The test results show that the perforation of the tractor in the horizontal section of shale gas wells with a well deviation of less than 90° is reliable and feasible. The tractor perforation can meet the needs of shale gas horizontal wells under pressure perforating operation. Its operation process is greatly affected by well deviation and wellbore cleanliness. Compared with coiled tubing perforation, its speed-up and cost-reducing effect is obvious. The construction period can be saved by two days, up to 50 %.
