Abstract

Extended-reach horizontal wells are critical for the development of unconventional reservoirs. Dual-channel drill pipe drilling has a great advantage in improving the horizontal section length, while the research on its mechanical extended-reach limit prediction model is insufficient. In this paper, the torque and drag model is built considering the additional axial force of the sliding piston on the dual-channel drillpipe. Based on the torque and drag model, the mechanical extended-reach limit model for dual-channel drilling is established. A case study including a comparison to the conventional drilling method and sensitivity analysis is conducted. The result shows that under the same conditions, the mechanical extended-reach limit of the dual-channel drilling method is 10,592.2 m, while it is 9030.6 m of the conventional drilling method. The dual-channel drilling method achieves a further mechanical extended-reach limit than the conventional drilling method. To improve the mechanical extended-reach limit of dual-channel drilling, a higher back pressure on the sliding piston, a deeper measured depth of the sliding piston, a higher density of the passive drilling fluid, a smaller outer diameter of the outer pipe, a lower weight on bit and rate of penetration should be adopted. The work in this paper completes the extended-reach limit theory of dual-channel drilling, providing a guide for better use in unconventional reservoir development.
