Embodiment Construction

[0039] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and specific embodiment:

[0040] Part 1: Some technical terms involved in this article are explained as follows:

[0041] Visualization: Through real-time observation of things, invisible objects can be observed, and the most direct observation of real-time dynamics of things.

[0042] Hydraulic fracturing: A process in which fracturing fluid is continuously pumped into a simulated wellbore at a large volume through a surface high-pressure pump set, and the rock is subjected to tensile failure or shear failure under the action of high-pressure fluid to form fractures and expand.

[0043] Since the size and construction parameters of the experimental model and the field prototype are quite different, similarity criteria need to be established to obtain meaningful experimental results. The similarity coefficient of the fracturing simulation experiment needs to satisfy the followi...

Abstract

The present invention involves a hydraulic fracture crack expansion visual simulation experiment method and its device. The device consists of a rock sample room, geographical stress loading unit, simulated fracture tube column, high -speed camera, high -pressure pump injection unit, data measurement and collection unit, etc.Among them, there are four transparent observation ports on the top cover of the rock sample room.The method is to first prepare flat rock -like samples, high -pressure water cut prefabricated natural cracks, and fill the epoxy resin to form a filling type crack; then wait for the rock -like saturated water for 3 to 5 days. After the saturated water is complete, Load the three -axis stress on the rock sample, and drill the shaft eye under the condition of three -axis stress to install the simulation fracture tube column; finally, connect the high -pressure pipeline and the flat pump, pump injection fissure, and high -speed camera records at the same timeThe crack extension path, the pressure transmitter measures the pressure change of the pump injection.The present invention can visualize the path of hydraulic crack expansion on the plane, providing a new experimental method for studying hydraulic crack expansion mechanisms.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a visual experiment method for hydraulic fracturing crack expansion of oil and gas wells, and provides an experiment device suitable for the method, which belongs to the field of oil exploitation. Background technique [0002] Hydraulic fracturing is a widely used oil and gas well stimulation technology in oil production, especially in low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs and unconventional gas reservoirs such as shale gas and coalbed methane, which have achieved good stimulation effects. Its basic principle is to inject a large volume of fracturing fluid (liquid or gas) into the wellbore through the surface high-pressure pump group, causing formation rocks to form tension or shear fractures under the action of fluid pressure, and finally form fractures with A network of man-made fractures with a certain conductivity. [0003] The research on the mechanism of hydraulic fracturing fracture propagation has always been a hot a...
