Abstract

This invention presents a projection embedded discrete fracture model integrating a TPFA and MFD hybrid approach, creating a pEDFM framework for various anisotropic two-phase flow situations. It specifies the distribution of extra pressure freedoms on matrix grids for MFD implementation, maintains f-f connections in TPFA through a standard pEDFM workflow, and introduces a low-conductivity fracture treatment for MFD. It also outlines the derivation of numerical flux calculation formulas for effective m-m and m-f connections. The mixed TPFA-MFD design applies to numerical flux estimation across both K-orthogonal and non-K-orthogonal grids, enhancing computational efficiency and facilitating the spatial discretization of continuity equations for matrix and fracture grids under anisotropic permeability conditions. A global equation system is formulated based on the continuity of effective connections, with time discretization via the implicit backward Euler method and pressure and water saturation distributions determined by a Newton-Raphson based nonlinear solver.

The present disclosure provides a device and method for diagnosing risk of insufficient hole cleaning problem during drilling wells. The method includes obtaining the measured pressure via several measuring points, and obtaining actually measured value of each measuring point; calculate the theoretical pressure at each measuring points by using the real-time operational data as inputs, evaluating a hole cleaning condition by applying a difference between a theoretical pressure drop and a measured pressure drop to a developed pressure driven hole cleaning model, which gives the risk of insufficient hole cleaning problems and problematic locations. The theoretical pressure drop between two adjacent measurement points along wellbore includes the pressure drop caused by friction effect and hydrostatic effect. However, suspended cuttings in actual drilling fluid may significantly change the pressure drop along wellbore.
