Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of oil reservoir development, and relates to a shale oil volume fracturing reconstruction space permeability calculation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the in-depth theoretical research and rapid development of shale gas exploration and development, shale oil has also become another new hotspot of oil and gas development and an important source of oil and gas supply. Shale oil reservoirs belong to ultra-low permeability tight reservoirs, which generally have no natural productivity or low productivity, and need to be reconstructed by volume fracturing and other "artificial permeability" technical means to realize effective development of shale oil. Due to the influence of the brittleness characteristics and natural fracture development of shale oil reservoirs, the hydraulic fracturing cracks are no longer the traditional double-wing symmetrical cracks, but are very easy to form a complex crack network system. During the volume fracturing process, there are complex mechanical behaviors such as shearing, breaking and slipping, and a large number of secondary cracks exist at the same time as the tensile main cracks, and form a complex network system with micro-cracks, increase the reconstruction volume, and communicate the flow field.
[0003] Due to the complex crack network system formed after volume fracturing, the permeability of the fracturing reconstruction space formed by the main cracks and secondary cracks and micro-cracks after reconstruction is not clear, and the reconstruction effect cannot be quantitatively evaluated, so it is necessary to evaluate the flow capacity of the reconstruction space, improve the understanding of the fracturing and reservoir properties, and objectively and accurately evaluate the fracturing effect, which has a guiding role in the aspects of improving the understanding of the fracturing and reservoir properties and objectively and accurately evaluating the fracturing effect. SUMMARY

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:
[0006] The present application provides a shale oil volume fracturing reconstruction space permeability calculation method, which comprises the following steps:
[0007] Step 1, draw a relationship curve of daily oil production and production time in a logarithmic coordinate system, and identify the flow mode of shale oil in different production stages;
[0008] Step 2, calculate the production time of shale oil in different flow stages;
[0009] Step 3, use microseismic monitoring data to identify the crack geometry after volume fracturing;

[0011] Step 5, calculate the permeability of the volume fracturing reconstruction space.
[0012] To achieve the above object, the application can also adopt the following technical scheme:
[0013] In step 1, in the relationship curve between daily oil production and production time, the flow mode of shale oil is divided into: formation linear flow mode, elliptical flow mode and pseudo-steady flow mode.
[0014] Further, the flow mode of shale oil is divided by the change of the curve slope k of the relationship curve between daily oil production and production time: when k=-0.5, the shale oil is in the formation linear flow mode in the reconstruction space, when-0.5<k<1, the shale oil is in the elliptical flow mode in the reconstruction space, and when k=1, the shale oil is in the pseudo-steady flow mode in the reconstruction space.
[0015] In step 2, the time when the line segment of k=-0.5 ends is the formation linear flow end time t1, and the time when the straight line segment of k=1 starts is the pseudo-steady flow start time t2, and the difference between t2 and t1 is the production time of elliptical flow.
[0016] In step 3, the interpretation result of microseismic monitoring data is analyzed according to the following formula to identify the fracture geometry:

[0021] Further, when a≤w e ≤b, the volume fracturing reconstruction space is in a complex fracture network form; when 0≤w e ≤a, the volume fracturing reconstruction space is in a segmented fracturing fracture network.
[0022] In step 4, on the basis of step 3, the inter-stage distance between the fracturing stages of different volume fracturing geometries is calculated,
[0023] When the fracture geometry is a complex fracture network:
[0024] L s =L
[0025] When the fracture geometry is a segmented fracture network:
[0026]
[0027] wherein L s is the intersegment spacing between the fractures.
[0028] In step 5, the permeability of the volume fracturing reconstruction space is calculated, and the formula is:
[0029]

[0041] In order to enable a person skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments.
[0042] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a flow chart of the shale oil volume fracturing reconstruction space permeability calculation method described in the present embodiment.
[0043] In step 101, a curve of daily oil production and production time in a logarithmic coordinate system is drawn, and the flow mode of shale oil in different production stages is identified. In the example, three flow modes are identified by the change of the slope of the curve, which are ① formation linear flow mode, ② elliptical flow, and ③ pseudo-steady flow. When the production time is 50 days to 150 days, the slope of the straight line segment is k=-0.5, and the shale oil is in the formation linear flow mode in the reconstruction space; when the production time is 150 days to 2500 days, -0.5<k<1, and the shale oil is in the elliptical flow in the reconstruction space; and when the production time exceeds 2500 days, k=1, and the shale oil is in the pseudo-steady flow.
[0044] In step 102, the production time of shale oil in different flow stages is calculated on the basis of step 101. The time when the line segment with k=-0.5 ends is the linear flow end time t1, and the time when the straight line segment with k=1 starts is the pseudo-steady flow start time t2. In the example, the linear flow end time t1 is 150 days, and the pseudo-steady flow start time t2 is 2500 days.
[0045] In step 103, on the basis of step 102, the geometry of the fractures after volume fracturing is identified by using microseismic monitoring data, and the interpretation result of the microseismic monitoring data is analyzed according to the following formula to identify the fracture geometry:
[0046]
[0047]
[0048]
[0049] In the formula, L is the length of the horizontal well section, N is the number of the horizontal well fracturing section, w e is the fracture bandwidth of microseismic monitoring, a, a1, b, b1 are undetermined coefficients.
[0050] When a≤w e ≤b, the volume fracturing reconstruction space is in the complex fracture network form;
[0051] When 0≤w e ≤a, the volume fracturing reconstruction space is in the segmented fracturing fracture network.
[0052] In the example, the length of the horizontal well section is 942m, the number of the fracturing section is 21 sections, and according to the bandwidth of different fracturing sections monitored by microseismic, the average bandwidth w e of fracturing is calculated as 41.4m. a=22.4m, b=44.9m are calculated, and according to 22.4<w e <44.9, it is judged that the complex fracture network is formed after the multi-section fracturing of the horizontal well in the example.
[0053] In step 104, the section spacing between the fracturing sections of different volume fracturing geometric forms is calculated,
[0054] When the fracture geometric form is a complex fracture network:
[0055] L s =L
[0056] When the fracture geometric form is a segmented fracture network:
[0057]
[0058] In the formula, L s is the section spacing between the fracturing sections.
[0059] On the basis of step 103, the complex fracture network is formed after the volume fracturing, and therefore the section spacing between the fracturing sections of the complex fracture network is the length of the horizontal well section, 942m.
[0060] In step 105, on the basis of step 104, the permeability of the volume fracturing reconstruction space is calculated by using the following formula:
[0061]
[0062] In the formula, k eff is the permeability of the volume fracturing reconstruction space, t1 is the end time of the linear flow of the formation, μ is the oil viscosity of the formation, is the core porosity, c t is the comprehensive compression coefficient of the formation, and L sThe distance between the fractured fractures is the intersegment distance.
[0063] The distance between the fractured fractures is 942 meters, the crude oil viscosity is 0.8 mPa.s, the matrix porosity is 7%, and the formation comprehensive compressibility is 5*10 -6 kpa -1 The formation linear flow time is 150 days, and the permeability of the fracturing reconstruction space is calculated as 9.7 md.
[0064] As can be seen from the above, the method described in the embodiment realizes accurate calculation of the permeability of the shale oil volume fracturing reconstruction space, improves the understanding of the fracturing and the reservoir properties, objectively and accurately evaluates the fracturing effect, and provides a basis for evaluation of the flow capacity of the complex space after the shale oil volume fracturing reconstruction.
