斜直井中钻柱非线性屈曲的有限元分析

建立了直井中钻柱屈曲的平衡方程及对应的泛函表达式，并首次采用有限元法对斜直井中钻柱屈曲的整个过程进行了分析。力学模型中考虑了重力、井斜角和扭矩对屈曲的影响，并将计算结果与前人的结论作了比较。分析结果表明：发生屈曲的是钻柱轴向载荷较大的下部，这部分的井壁约束力、钻柱弯矩、位移和位移的一阶导数呈周期性变化，载荷增大时钻柱屈曲从钻头处向钻柱上部扩展；钻柱上部不屈曲，井壁约束力随载荷增大而增大，弯矩为零。井斜角增大时，钻柱下部的屈曲段长度和屈曲位移的幅值逐渐减小。井壁法向约束力在上部未屈曲段的常值逐渐增大，在屈曲段幅值逐渐减小。钻柱弯矩在未屈曲段为零，在下部屈曲段幅值减小。扭矩增大使屈曲位移增大，但增幅很小。

NONLINEAR BUCKLING ANALYSIS OF TUBING IN DEVIATED WELLS BY FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

The equilibrium equations and the functional for tubing buckling in arbitrary straight wells are derived. The entire buckling process of tubing in deviated wells is analyzed for the first time by utilizing the finite element method. The effects of gravity and torques on the buckling are included in the analyses and the calculated results are well compared with existing solutions. It is shown that the buckling only occurs at the lower portion of the tubing where the axial load is the largest, and the contact force of the well, the bending moment of the tubing and the buckling displacement of this portion vary periodically. The buckling spreads upwards from the bit with the increase of axial load. There is no buckling at the upper portion of the tubing where the bending moment is zero. And the contact force of this section increases only slightly with the increase of the axial load. With the increase of the deviation angle, the length of buckling portion and buckling displacement amplitude decrease, the contact force increases with the increase of load at the upper portion and its amplitude decreases at the lower buckling section, the bending moment remains zero at the upper portion and its amplitude decreases at the lower buckling portion. The buckling displacement increases with the increase of the torque, but the increment is very small.
