In one aspect, the invention provides a device for evaluating the performance of a multi-open multi-cementing-surface cementing cement sheath of an oil and gas well, which comprises a simulated wellbore 10 and an autoclave 20, wherein the simulated wellbore 10 comprises a simulated rock core 11 and a simulated tube group 12, the simulated tube group 12 is coaxially inserted into the simulated rock core 11 and has a radial clearance with the simulated rock core 11 to form a first annulus 13, the simulated tube group 12 comprises at least two sleeves coaxially sleeved, a radial clearance is arranged between the sleeves to form a second annulus 14, and the second annulus 14 is communicated with the first annulus 13 at the bottom end; the autoclave 20 has a cavity therein in which the simulated wellbore 10 is placed, the autoclave 20 being provided with a grouting port 241 communicating with the first annulus 13, a drainage port 242 communicating with the second annulus 14, a first pressure application port 231 communicating with the bottom of the first annulus 13, and a second pressure application port 243 and pressure release port 232 communicating with the centrally located casing, the autoclave 20 being arranged to be able to heat and apply confining pressure to the simulated core 11.
In the above description, the grouting port 241 and the slurry discharge port 242 are used to complete formation of a mud cake and a cement sheath in cooperation with a well cementing construction unit (described below). The second pressure application port 243 is used to simulate the internal casing pressure (i.e., the pressure in the casing at the center) under drilling, cementing and production conditions in conjunction with a pressure application unit (described below), and during actual drilling and cementing operations, a liquid column is present in the casing at the center to generate pressure, and the internal casing pressure is almost the same as the formation pressure during production. The first pressure application port 231 and the pressure release port 232 (for releasing the internal pressure of the casing) are used to perform experiments in cooperation with the pressure application unit. By heating the simulated core 11, both the formation temperature and the temperature required for setting of the cement slurry can be simulated. The simulated core 11 may be fabricated using a custom mold in accordance with the formation parameters (formation sand size distribution, porosity, permeability, strength) of the target work area.
In the foregoing, it will be appreciated that because the simulated tubing set 12 is comprised of at least two casings, at least two cement sheath layers may be formed within the simulated wellbore 10, thereby simulating a multi-open (e.g., three-open, four-open, five-open) wellbore configuration. Different simulated tube sets 12 and simulated cores 11 are selected for experiments with different structures. Such as the embodiment shown in fig. 1, for simulating a four-well configuration, the simulated tubing set 12 includes four casing layers from inside to outside, namely a production casing 121, a technical casing 122, a surface casing 123, and a conduit 124 (see fig. 4), the four casing layers decreasing in length from inside to outside, and the simulated wellbore 10 having four cement sheath layers formed therein.

In order to realize the communication between the bottom end of the second annular space 14 and the first annular space 13, as shown in fig. 5, a plurality of first communication holes 125 may be formed at the bottom of each second annular space 14, and the plurality of first communication holes 125 are uniformly spaced along the circumferential direction of the second annular space 14, so that the drilling fluid or cement slurry stably and uniformly enters the second annular space 14, and the drilling fluid or cement slurry completely fills the first annular space 13 and the second annular space 14 and returns to the ground, thereby ensuring good well cementation quality.
In addition, the bottom of the production casing 121 may be provided with a second communication hole 126 (see fig. 5) communicating with the pressure relief port 232 on the autoclave 20.

That is, the positioning boss 234 may extend into a hole of the simulated core 11 into which the simulated tube set 12 is inserted, thereby radially limiting the simulated core 11 and axially limiting the simulated tube set 12. Wherein the bottom of the simulated tube set 12 is the bottom of the centrally located casing (i.e., production casing 121).
As shown in fig. 3, the positioning structure may further include a ring groove 244 provided on the bottom surface of the cover 24 for the top of the sleeve to be embedded.

Evaluating the performance of the cement sheath, closing all valves, opening valves F9-F12 and F1-F2, keeping a certain casing internal pressure and core confining pressure (the casing internal pressure can be determined according to actual drilling design, hydrostatic column pressure can be calculated according to drilling fluid density and well bore, core confining pressure can be calculated according to stratum pressure coefficient and well bore), opening valves F14 (or F13) and F16 to continuously increase the pressure exerted by the bottom of the cement sheath so as to continuously increase the pressure difference between the bottom and the top of the cement sheath, and recording pressure and channeling data in real time by all fixed-point pressure gauges and channeling detectors: when the pressure at a certain position between the top and the bottom of the cement sheath suddenly increases to the pressure applied by the bottom of the cement sheath and the channeling occurs at the position (namely when the indication of a certain fixed-point pressure gauge P5-P14 suddenly increases to the pressure applied by the bottom of the cement sheath and the channeling detector displays the channeling), the tightness of the position and the following parts is destroyed; when the pressure at a certain position between the top and the bottom of the cement sheath is increased but no channeling occurs at the position (namely when the indication numbers of the fixed-point pressure gauges P5-P14 are increased but the channeling is not displayed by the corresponding channeling detectors), the leakage flow of the pressure medium in the cement sheath is indicated to cause the leak tightness of the cement sheath to be broken; and when the pressure at the top of the cement sheath is increased (namely, the pressure readings of the fixed-point pressure gauges P1-P4 are increased) and the pressure is applied near the bottom of the cement sheath, the integral sealing performance of the cement sheath is invalid.
It will be appreciated that under normal conditions the cement sheath seal is good, no or very little pressure readings should be taken at P5 to P14, and that these gauge points will only be measured and will be close to the sheath bottom pressure if the sheath seal fails, i.e. pressure is blown up.
The method for evaluating the performance of the multi-open multi-cementing-surface cementing cement sheath of the oil and gas well under the condition of simulating perforation completion is basically consistent with the method under the condition of simulating open hole completion, and is mainly different from the method under the condition of simulating open hole completion in that:
Perforations 111 need to be arranged when the simulated rock core 11 is manufactured, and the main method is that holes are drilled in the simulated rock core 11, and the aperture depth and the size of the drilled holes can be controlled independently so as to simulate the perforations under different perforating charges and detonation pressure conditions; arranging perforation holes at corresponding positions of the production sleeve 121, wherein the hole sizes are consistent with the sizes of the perforations 111, after the production sleeve 121 is installed, overlapping the holes on the production sleeve 121 with the perforations 111, filling soft rubber columns with diameters consistent with the hole sizes into the holes for temporarily plugging the holes, and taking out the soft rubber columns after the cement sheath is solidified, so that an actual underground perforation structure can be simulated;
When evaluating the performance of the cement sheath, all valves are closed, valves F9-F12 and F1-F2 are opened, certain casing internal pressure and core confining pressure (the casing internal pressure can be determined according to actual drilling design, hydrostatic column pressure can be calculated according to drilling fluid density and well bore, core confining pressure can be calculated according to stratum pressure coefficient and well bore) are kept, the valves F14 (or F13) and F15 are opened to continuously increase the pressure exerted by the bottom of the cement sheath so as to continuously increase the pressure difference between the bottom and the top of the cement sheath, and all fixed-point pressure gauges and channeling detectors record pressure and channeling data in real time: when the pressure at a position between the top and the bottom of the cement sheath suddenly increases to the position where the pressure is applied to the perforation 111 and the channeling occurs (namely when the indication of a certain fixed-point pressure gauge P5-P14 suddenly increases to the position where the pressure is applied to the perforation 111 and the channeling is displayed by a corresponding channeling detector), the sealing performance of the cement sheath between the position and the perforation 111 is broken; when the pressure at a certain position between the top and the bottom of the cement sheath is increased but no channeling occurs at the position (namely when the indication numbers of the fixed-point pressure gauges P5-P14 are increased but the channeling is not displayed by the corresponding channeling detectors), the leakage flow of the pressure medium in the cement sheath is indicated to cause the leak tightness of the cement sheath to be broken; and when the pressure at the top of the cement sheath is increased (namely, the pressure readings of the fixed-point pressure gauges P1-P4 are increased) and the pressure is applied near the bottom of the cement sheath, the integral sealing performance of the cement sheath is invalid.
It will be appreciated that under normal conditions the cement sheath seal is good, no or very little pressure readings should be taken at P5 to P14, and that these gauge points will only be able to indicate and apply pressure near perforations 111 when the cement sheath seal fails, i.e., pressure is blown up.
