Problems solved by technology

[0009] Aiming at the problems that the fracture end plugging technology in normal pressure or deep layer shale gas reservoirs is difficult to realize and the technical adaptability is poor, the present invention proposes a method for deep sealing of main fractures in normal pressure or deep layer shale gas to increase the complexity of fractures, so that In the process of fracture end plugging, the proppant can migrate to the fracture end to the greatest extent, and it is more likely to realize the plugging effect of the proppant at the fracture end, thereby greatly improving the effectiveness of the fracture end plugging technology in shale. Adaptability in gas reservoirs

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving the fracture complexity through deep plugging of main fractures of normal-pressure or deep shale gas. The method comprises the following steps of: 1, determining key reservoir parameters; 2, calculating geological sweet spots and engineering sweet spots; 3, optimizing the position of a segment cluster; 4, optimizing fracture parameters; 5, optimizingfracturing construction parameters; 6, performing perforation; 7, performing high-viscosity prepad fluid high-displacement fracture construction; 8, determining the highest sand-liquid ratio; 9, continually injecting a propping agent to achieve deep plugging of the fractures; 10, executing other conventional segment plug type sand adding processes in accordance with the parameters in the step 5; and 11, carrying out displacing operation. According to the method, during fracture end plugging, the propping agent can move towards the fracture end to the maximum extent, the plugging effect of thepropping agent at the fracture end can be achieved more possibly, and then the adaptability of the fracture end plugging technology in a shale gas reservoir is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of exploration and development of oil and gas fields, in particular to a method for deep sealing of main fractures of normal pressure or deep layer shale gas and increasing the complexity of fractures. Background technique [0002] At present, whether it is shale gas under normal pressure or deep shale gas fracturing, the width of the main fracture is narrow. Normal-pressure shale gas is due to the relatively high content of brittle minerals and relatively low fracture toughness, making it difficult to establish net pressure in fractures, resulting in the extension speed of fracture length being much greater than the extension speed of fracture width; High Young's modulus under ground conditions will lead to relatively small fracture width. [0003] When the fracture width is small, the first reason is that the induced stress is small and the complexity of the fracture is difficult to increase. In addition, when the...
