Problems solved by technology

When the heterogeneity of the reservoir is weak, the uniform segmentation and clustering have little effect on the fracturing effect; but when the heterogeneity of the reservoir is strong, this uniform arrangement will lead to some fracturing points. Cracks fail to meet target requirements and sometimes fail to initiate

Embodiment 1

[0030] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a segmented clustering method for volume fracturing horizontal wells, that is, a method for determining the fracturing location based on the segmented clustering of horizontal wells to be volume-fractured. figure 1 shown, including the following steps:

[0031] Step S11: According to the number of segments of the horizontal well to be fractured, each preselected segmentation point of the segment to be fractured is determined.

[0032] The section to be fractured of a horizontal well refers to a certain section of the horizontal well that will undergo volume fracturing. Specifically, it is determined that each pre-selected segmentation point of the section to be fractured meets the following conditions:

[0033] The segment length between every two adjacent segment points is greater than or equal to the product of the minimum clustering number of a segment and the average cluster spacing corresponding to the reservoir type o...

Embodiment 2

[0076] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a method for determining the fracturing potential value of a horizontal well, the process of which is as follows Figure 4 shown, including the following steps:

Abstract

The invention discloses a volume fracturing horizontal well segmented clustering method and device. The method comprises the following steps of determining each pre-selected segmentation point according to the segmentation number of a to-be-fractured section of a horizontal well; judging whether the variance of the fracturing potential value of each well logging point between every two adjacent pre-selected subsection points is smaller than or equal to a preset variance threshold value or not; if not, re-determining each pre-selected segmentation point; for each screened fracturing subsection,determining each pre-selected clustering point of the fracturing subsection according to the minimum cluster spacing and the maximum cluster spacing corresponding to the reservoir type of the fracturing subsection, and judging whether the average value of the fracturing potential values corresponding to the pre-selected clustering points is greater than or equal to a preset first average value threshold; if yes, determining each pre-selected clustering point as a clustering point of the fracturing subsection; and if not, re-determining each pre-selected clustering point of the fracturing subsection. According to the method, the sections to be fractured of the horizontal well to be subjected to volume fracturing can be reasonably clustered in a segmented mode, and the fracturing design canbe better guided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of horizontal well fracturing design, in particular to a segmented clustering method and device for volume fracturing horizontal wells. Background technique [0002] At present, in the process of oil and gas production, volume fracturing of horizontal wells is an important means to improve the effective production of reservoirs and enhance the recovery rate, and the design of fracturing positions before fracturing, that is, the segmented and clustered design of horizontal wells Whether it is reasonable or not directly affects oil and gas production and ultimate recovery. [0003] At present, the existing segmentation and clustering design methods for horizontal wells have many limitations, and are usually uniform segmentation and clustering. When the heterogeneity of the reservoir is weak, the uniform segmentation and clustering have little effect on the fracturing effect; but when the heterogeneity of the ...
