Abstract:

The invasion of drill-in fluid into reservoir formation can lead to a damage zone around the wellbore during the process
of over balanced drilling and completion in fractured tight reservoirs,which will strongly affect the production performance
of a well. Taking the tight conglomerate reservoir of Jiulongshan structure as the research object,the mathematical model of
solute transport in fractured network was established by double continuous medium method;the dimensionless concentration at
any time in different position from wellbore was determined by using finite difference method to solve the developed model;the
extent of formation damage caused by drill-in fluid loss was quantitatively evaluated,and the numerical results were validated
by pressure built-up test analysis and dynamic damage assessment of drill-in fluid. The numerical results show that the depth
of drill-in fluid invasion increases over time,and pollutions induced by the drilling fluid loss continuously push and cumulate
in depth of the formation with the kill fluid loss;respectively,the radius and equivalent skin factor of damage zone due to lost
circulation of drill-in fluid is about 17.0 m and 7.5,the relative errors between the numerical results and the results of pressure
built-up test analysis and dynamic damage assessment are less than 10%,which proves the reliability of the model.
