Problems solved by technology

When the plugging strength of the temporary plugging agent is not high enough, the fracturing fluid will easily destroy the plugging layer of the temporary plugging agent when it passes through the temporary plugging agent, so that the effective diversion of fractures cannot be realized, which seriously affects the production after stimulation
At present, there is a lack of quantitative evaluation methods for determining the plugging strength of temporary plugging agents

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for quantitatively evaluating the plugging strength of a temporary plugging agent. Mechanics-mathematical model; based on the static mechanics-mathematical model of the temporary plugging agent in the fracture, the mechanical model of the plugging strength of the temporary plugging agent is established; based on the mechanical model of the plugging strength of the temporary plugging agent and related parameters, the fluid pressure drop of the plugging layer of the temporary plugging agent is calculated gradient. The invention fully considers the gas-liquid two-phase flow in the hydraulic fractures of the tight gas reservoir, and considers the capillary force, drag force, minimum horizontal principal stress, and shearing of the temporary plugging agent with different particle size combinations. Based on the comprehensive influence of the strength, starting from the stress analysis of a single temporary plugging agent, a mechanical model describing the plugging strength of the temporary plugging agent is established, and a quantitative calculation method for predicting the plugging strength of the temporary plugging agent is formed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for quantitatively evaluating the plugging strength of a temporary plugging agent, belonging to the technical field of hydraulic fracturing. Background technique [0002] Hydraulic fracturing is one of the commonly used stimulation techniques for low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs. Conventional hydraulic fracturing usually can only form a single fracture, the control area and stimulated volume are limited, and the production cannot be significantly increased. In order to increase the volume and complexity of hydraulic fracture stimulation, temporary plugging fracturing is an effective method. Its basic principle is to form a tight sealing layer by injecting temporary plugging agent during hydraulic fracturing. It can temporarily block the previously formed high-permeability flow channels of hydraulic fractures, increase the seepage resistance of fracturing fluid, and force the working fluid to divert to fracturin...
