Abstract

The invention discloses an optimization method for efficiently laying propping agents in hydraulic fracturing operation. The optimization method comprises the following steps that 1, a rock deformation control equation and a fracturing fluid flowing and propping agent migration material balance equation in the fracturing process are constructed; 2, a model used for representing the pumping volume fraction of the propping agents is constructed; 3, parameters are given, and the corresponding fracture geometric dimension and propping agent volume concentration distribution are obtained through calculation; 4, the laying efficiency of each group of propping agents is calculated; 5, the average propping agent laying efficiency of each group is calculated; 6, optimization parameters are selected; and 7, the propping agent pumping volume fraction changing along with time is calculated; and the result is substituted into the model in the step 1 for calculation, the calculated propping agent laying efficiency after fracturing is obtained, and whether the optimization parameters are optimal or not is verified. The optimization method has the advantages that the hydraulic fracturing propping agent laying effect can be improved, and the oil and gas productivity can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development, in particular to an optimization method for efficiently laying proppants in hydraulic fracturing operations. Background technique [0002] For low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs, hydraulic fracturing is one of the most effective stimulation techniques. By pumping high-pressure fluid carrying proppant particles into the oil and gas well, the hydraulic fracturing process aims to induce the formation of hydraulic fractures with a certain width in the reservoir rock, build a high-speed channel for oil and gas flow, and increase the production of low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs. When the hydraulic fracturing operation is completed, the hydraulic fractures formed in the ground will quickly close under the high formation pressure. At this time, the permeability of the fracture area not effectively covered by proppant particles will be greatly reduced, making it diffic...
