Problems solved by technology

However, this method is difficult to implement on site, because the non-uniformity of proppant laying is difficult to control, and artificial fractures are likely to be closed due to lack of proppant filling in a large area, which affects the fracturing effect; moreover, due to the high closure pressure of the formation, The support capacity of the pier-type "pillar" is limited, causing the fracture to be continuously closed under the action of the formation stress, which may easily lead to compaction and deformation of the proppant "pillar", thereby greatly reducing the fracture conductivity

Abstract

The invention relates to a fracturing technology using propping agent density variation for obtaining large channels. The fracturing technology includes the following steps that propping agent fracturing fluid low in density, intermediate in density and high in density is prepared, and fibers are added into the propping agent fracturing fluid intermediate in density to form propping agent clusters serving as the premise of channel fracturing; at the beginning of fracturing, prepad fluid is pumped into the stratum so that the stratum can form a crack of a certain width and a certain length, and the propping agent fracturing fluid of the three densities is together pumped into the stratum; because no fibers are added into low-density propping agent particles and high-density propping agent particles, the low-density propping agent particles and the high-density propping agent particles can freely float and precipitate at the top and the upper portion of the crack; the propping agent fracturing fluid intermediate in density is injected in a pulse mode, and the channels of a certain size can be formed between the propping agent clusters. The large channels of larger sizes are formed between an intermediate-density propping agent zone and a low-density propping agent zone as well as between the intermediate-density propping agent zone and a high-density propping agent zone.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fracturing process for realizing large passages by applying proppant density differences, and belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field development. Background technique [0002] my country's unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, such as coalbed methane, shale oil and gas, and tight sandstone oil and gas, are widely distributed, have huge reserves, and have great development potential. However, due to the low permeability and difficulty in mining, the early development efforts were not strong. At present, with the increase in energy demand worldwide and the development of high-permeability oil and gas fields coming to an end, unconventional oil and gas reservoirs have gradually become the main body of energy development. However, due to their low porosity and low permeability, oil and gas in the reservoir The resistance during seepage is extremely high, so general unconventional reservoirs have low production or e...
