Embodiment Construction

[0082] Each step of the present invention will be described in detail below through specific examples.

[0083] Taking a single well W in an oilfield as an example, the hydraulic fracturing section is designed to have a burial depth of 4309.4-4323m and contains many interlayers. The average formation temperature of this section is 140°C, and the formation fracture closure pressure is 48MPa. According to previous numerical software simulation results, the density of fracturing fluid is 1200kg / m 3 , the apparent viscosity of the pad fluid is 0.04Pa·s, the particle diameter of the proppant is 0.0006m, and the sand ratio is 20% (that is, the volume fraction of liquid in the mixture of proppant and fracturing fluid is 86%). After the pump is stopped, the fracture closes The time is 3000s, and the vertical downward migration speed of the sand-carrying fluid in the fracture is 0.002m / s. Under this condition, fractures with an average width of 0.004m are created. Based on this, the re...

Abstract

The invention discloses an accurate proppant placement method for hydraulic fracturing of a multi-interlayer oil-gas reservoir. The accurate proppant placement method comprises the steps of firstly obtaining geological parameters and physical parameters of a fracturing interval according to logging data, and dividing the fracturing interval into different small fracturing transformation layers onthe basis; then, optimizing a perforation position according to fracture closing time, and determining the proppant densities of the different fracturing transformation layers in cooperation with field practice; by calculating the proppant settling velocity `affected by sand-carrying concentration and a fracture wall effect, designing the apparent viscosity of fracturing fluids in different smallfracturing transformation layers; and finally, calculating the pumping times of the sand-carrying liquid at different stages according to the thicknesses of different small fracturing transformation layers. According to the design parameters, a proppant can be all paved on a target production layer so that the proppant can be uniformly paved in the longitudinal direction of the production layer after fracture closing. The accurate proppant placement method is reliable in principle and strong in site operability and has a wide market prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for accurately placing a proppant for hydraulic fracturing of multi-compartment interlayer oil and gas reservoirs in the process of hydraulic fracturing in the field of petroleum engineering. Background technique [0002] Hydraulic fracturing technology is an important measure for oil and gas reservoir stimulation. Hydraulic fracturing is to use the surface high-pressure pump group to pump the fracturing fluid (pre-fluid) into the formation with a displacement exceeding the formation's liquid absorption capacity to generate fractures, and then continue to inject the fracturing fluid with proppant (sand grains) ( Sand-carrying fluid) to make the fracture continue to extend and fill it with proppant. When the fracturing fluid flows back, the proppant left in the fracture prevents the fracture from completely closing and keeps the fracture at a certain level under the closing pressure. The degree of opening is to form a ...
