Abstract

The invention relates to an experimental device and method for simulating the extension influence of hydraulic fracturing cracks and natural cracks. Fracturing pipe columns are simulated through steelpipes, planar rock samples are formed through pouring and cured, and then rock samples with random spots are prepared; then the samples are placed into adjustable hydraulic fracturing cavities, unequal ground stress is applied to the two sides of the samples, and then fracturing liquid is injected through the fracturing pipe columns; and meanwhile a high-speed camera is utilized to shoot the crack extension condition in the hydraulic fracturing process, the rock body deformation condition in the hydraulic fracturing process is collected through a deformeter, and the pumping-in pressure and strain change are detected. According to the experimental device and method for simulating the extension influence of the hydraulic fracturing cracks and the natural cracks, the interplaying mechanicalrelation between the hydraulic fracturing cracks and the natural cracks can be intuitively analyzed, the distribution problem after a flow makes contact with the natural cracks can be accurately researched, and meanwhile the complex mechanical behavior such as cracking rules of hydraulic fracturing, rock body deformation caused by hydraulic crack extension and opening, re-starting or dislocation of the natural cracks at different strength is intuitively observed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of hydraulic fracturing stimulation development, in particular to an experimental device and method for simulating the influence of hydraulic fracturing cracks and natural crack expansion. Background technique [0002] Hydraulic fracturing is to use high-pressure pumps on the ground to pump fracturing fluid with a certain viscosity into the wellbore with a large displacement. When the fluid pressure exceeds the tensile strength of the rock itself, a fracturing fluid with a certain conductivity can be formed in the reservoir. Hydraulic fractures, the formation of hydraulic fractures will greatly improve oil and gas seepage capacity and increase oil and gas production. At present, hydraulic fracturing technology has become the core technology for the development of low-permeability and unconventional oil and gas fields, especially in the commercial development of shale gas, tight oil and gas reservoirs and other reservo...
