Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of unconventional oil and gas field development, and in particular to a model and method for evaluating the damage of fracturing fluid to tight gas reservoirs. Background Art

[0002] Tight gas reservoirs have well-developed nano- and micro-pore throats, poor pore throat connectivity, and low matrix permeability. During the development process, there are common problems such as low single-well production, short stable production period, rapid production decline, and low recovery degree. Therefore, tight gas reservoirs usually require fracturing and production-increasing measures to achieve economic development. However, during the fracturing construction process, the fracturing fluid will cause a certain degree of damage to the reservoir, reducing the fracturing and production-increasing effect. Especially for newly developed blocks, the damage of fracturing fluid to the reservoir has become a bottleneck restricting the efficient exploration and development of tight gas reservoirs, and has seriously affected the timely discovery, accurate evaluation, and efficient development of tight gas reservoirs. Therefore, it is crucial to scientifically, systematically, and accurately evaluate the degree of damage of fracturing fluid to tight gas reservoirs and clarify its damage mechanism.

[0003] At present, the damage evaluation of fracturing fluid to tight gas reservoirs is mainly based on the petroleum industry standards for conventional oil and gas reservoirs. However, these conventional evaluation methods and standards are not completely applicable to the damage evaluation of tight gas reservoirs. For example, "SY / T 5358-2010 Reservoir Sensitivity Flow Experiment Evaluation Method" is applicable to clastic reservoirs with air permeability>1mD, and uses liquid phase to test the permeability of cores; "SY / T 5107-2005 Water-based Fracturing Fluid Performance Evaluation Method" uses fracturing fluid degelling fluid to displace cores, and the permeability test requires the pressure and flow rate to be stable for up to 1h. In summary, the existing technology has the following main problems in evaluating tight gas reservoir damage: ① The test fluid is not representative; the existing technology uses liquid phase as the test medium. The gas phase in the tight gas reservoir is the main mobile phase and production object. After the gas layer is damaged, the main focus is on the change in the gas phase seepage capacity. The use of liquid phase permeability as an evaluation parameter lacks pertinence and representativeness, and the use of liquid phase to test permeability has problems such as high test pressure, long experimental cycle, and large test data error; ② The evaluation parameters are single, and the understanding of the essential laws of the gas layer damage mechanism is not in-depth; the parameters of the core displacement experiment of the existing technology are mainly the permeability reduction rate, and the in-depth evaluation of the reservoir damage mechanism is lacking, resulting in an unsystematic and incomplete understanding of the reservoir damage mechanism, and the implementation of reservoir protection measures may be unreasonable; ③ The test results are affected by many factors, large errors, and poor repeatability; The core displacement experiment is highly random, with many influencing factors, and the core cannot be reused, making it difficult to obtain accurate evaluation results, especially when it involves parallel testing and evaluation of multiple fracturing fluid systems. The randomness and non-repeatability of core samples make it difficult to obtain correct evaluation conclusions. Summary of the invention

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for evaluating the damage of fracturing fluid to tight gas reservoirs, comprising the following steps:

[0049] S1. Obtaining a damage evaluation model of fracturing fluid to tight gas reservoirs, including a microscopic etching matrix model and a microscopic etching crack model;

[0050] Specifically, Figure 2 The steps of making the fracturing fluid damage evaluation model for tight gas reservoirs are as follows:

[0051] S11. Drill a rock sample of the target tight gas reservoir; specifically, measure the average pore size and average fracture opening of the rock sample by using an experimental instrument. In this embodiment, a rock core of a tight gas reservoir in the Ordos Basin is drilled, and the average pore size of the rock sample is 69.5 nm and the average fracture opening is 162 μm by CT scanning test.

[0052] S12, making a casting thin section from the rock sample, and photographing the casting thin section through a microscope to obtain a casting thin section image;

[0053] S13, converting the casting thin section image into a data file by using image analysis software to obtain a distribution image of rock pores in a two-dimensional plane;

[0054] S14. A damage evaluation model of fracturing fluid to tight gas reservoirs is obtained by laser etching technology based on the data file and distribution image. Figure 3 It is a pore plane distribution diagram obtained after image analysis software processing in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] In this embodiment, the rock sample is made into a casting thin section, and the casting thin section is photographed by a microscope to obtain a casting thin section image. Subsequently, the casting thin section image is converted into a data file by image analysis software to obtain a distribution image of rock pores in a two-dimensional plane. Figure 3 It is a pore plane distribution diagram obtained after image analysis software processing in the embodiment of the present invention. A fracturing fluid damage evaluation model for tight gas reservoirs is produced by laser etching technology according to the data file, and the model material is glass.

[0056] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, as a specific example, the structure of the microscopic etching matrix model includes: a first injection port 1, a first etching area 2, a second etching area 3, a third etching area 4, a second injection port 6 and a first sealing frame 5; the etching depth of the first etching area 2 is 1.0 mm; the second etching area 3 is etched according to the data file, and the etching depth is the average pore size of the rock sample; the etching length of the third etching area 4 is 0.5-2.0 cm, and the depth increases linearly from the average pore size to 1.0 mm from the second etching area 3 to the second injection port 6;

[0057] In the microscopic etching crack model, three grooves 7 are etched in the second etching area 31 to connect the first etching area 21 and the third etching area 41. The depth and width of the grooves 7 are both the average crack opening of the rock sample. The etching depth of the third etching area 41 increases linearly from the average crack opening to 1.0 mm from the second etching area 31 to the second injection port 61.

[0058] In this embodiment, the etching area inside the microscopic etching matrix model is 52 mm long and 20 mm wide, the first etching area 2 is etched with a depth of 1.0 mm and a length of 2.0 mm; the second etching area 3 is etched according to the etching file, with an etching depth of 69.5 nm and a length of 30 mm; the third etching area 4 is etched with a length of 20 mm, and the depth increases linearly from 69.5 nm to 1.0 mm from the second etching area 3 to the second injection port 6. The etching model is packaged to obtain a microscopic etching matrix model.

[0059] In this embodiment, three grooves 7 are etched in the second etching area 31 to connect the first etching area 21 and the third etching area. The depth and width of the grooves 7 are both 162 μm. The etching depth of the third etching area increases linearly from 162 μm to 1.0 mm from the second etching area 3 to the second injection port 61. The other parameters are consistent with the microscopic etching matrix model. The microscopic etching crack model is encapsulated, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 It is a planar structural diagram of a microscopic etching crack model in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] As a specific example, the method for determining the average pore size and the average fracture aperture of the rock sample may be a nano CT scanning method or a nuclear magnetic resonance method.

[0061] As a specific example, the material of the microscopic etching model is transparent heat-resistant and pressure-resistant glass.

[0062] In step S2, the microscopic etched matrix model is loaded into a high-temperature and high-pressure visualized displacement experimental device, nitrogen is injected into the first injection port 1 at a constant speed v1 until the pressure of the first injection port 1 is stable, and the injection pressure p0 is recorded, and then the fracturing fluid filtrate is injected into the second injection port 6, and the injection is stopped after the fracturing fluid filtrate appears in the first injection port 1, and nitrogen is injected from the first injection port 1 at a constant speed v1 until the injection pressure of the first injection port 1 is stable, and the injection pressure p1 is recorded. During the injection of different fluids, the model image is recorded through a microscope, the thickness of the filter cake is observed in real time, and the filter cake damage of the fracturing fluid is quantitatively evaluated. The degree of damage of the fracturing fluid to the tight gas reservoir matrix is ​​calculated according to the injection pressures recorded twice;

[0063] The use of the fracturing fluid filtrate in step S2 is to simulate the part of the fracturing fluid absorbed by the formation when it is injected into the formation. This part of the fluid may change the permeability, porosity, pore throat structure, etc. of the formation, thereby affecting the flow conditions of oil and gas. By comparing the injection pressure before and after the injection of the fracturing fluid filtrate, the degree of damage of the fracturing fluid filtrate to the tight gas reservoir matrix can be evaluated, and then the degree of damage of the fracturing fluid to the tight gas reservoir matrix can be evaluated.

[0064] Specifically, the method for loading the microscopic etching matrix model into the high-temperature and high-pressure visualized displacement experimental device is as follows: placing the microscopic etching matrix model in a transparent temperature-resistant and pressure-resistant glass tube in the high-temperature and high-pressure visualized displacement experimental device, and fixing it with a sealant; then connecting the glass tube to two injection pumps, and connecting them to the first injection port 1 and the second injection port 6 respectively; finally, connecting the glass tube to the pressure sensor and the data acquisition instrument, and photographing the glass tube with a camera.

[0065] In this embodiment, the fracturing fluid sample of this embodiment is an anionic polyacrylamide solution with a mass concentration of 0.2%. The microscopic etched matrix model is loaded into the high temperature and high pressure visual displacement experimental device, and the first injection port 1 and the second injection port 6 are respectively connected to the fluid pipeline system of the high temperature and high pressure microscopic visual displacement experimental device.

[0066] Nitrogen was injected from the first injection port 1 at a rate of 0.1 μL / min until the injection pressure was stable, and the injection pressure p0 was recorded as 82 kPa. Subsequently, the fracturing fluid filtrate filtered by the rock sample was injected from the second injection port 6 until the fracturing fluid filtrate appeared at the first injection port 1 and the injection was stopped. After standing for 2 hours, nitrogen was injected from the first injection port 1 at a rate of 0.1 μL / min until the injection pressure was stable, and the injection pressure p1 was recorded as 107 kPa. The model image was recorded by microscope during the injection of different fluids.

[0067] In this embodiment, the fracturing fluid filtrate used is an anionic polyacrylamide solution filtered through a rock sample, and its concentration is 0.1%. The injection rate of nitrogen and fracturing fluid filtrate is 0.1 μL / min. The method for calculating the degree of damage of fracturing fluid to the matrix of the tight gas reservoir is as follows: the degree of damage of fracturing fluid to the matrix of the tight gas reservoir is calculated according to the following formula η0:

[0068]

[0069] Among them, p0 is the stable pressure after nitrogen injection, and p1 is the stable pressure after nitrogen injection after 2 h of standing after injection of fracturing fluid filtrate. The greater the damage degree η0, the more serious the damage of fracturing fluid to the reservoir matrix.

[0070] The fracturing fluid filtrate can enter the matrix, but the fracturing fluid residue cannot enter the matrix.

[0071] The calculated damage degree η0 of the fracturing fluid to the tight gas reservoir matrix is ​​23.36%. like Figure 7 This is a partially enlarged image of the second etched area 3 of the model after the fracturing fluid filtrate test of the micro-etched matrix model in the embodiment. It can be seen that the fracturing fluid filtrate is retained in the control, which reduces the permeability of the model and causes damage to the reservoir.

[0072] S3, cleaning the used microscopic etched matrix model, injecting fracturing fluid from the second injection port 6, and recording the injection pressure curve and model image of the second injection port 6, and evaluating the fracturing fluid invasion depth into the reservoir and the degree of filter cake damage according to the injection pressure curve and the model image;

[0073] Specifically, the used microscopic etching matrix model is cleaned and dried with high-speed nitrogen, and the method is: the microscopic etching matrix model is taken out from the high-temperature and high-pressure visual displacement experimental device, and cleaned with alcohol; then the surface of the microscopic etching matrix model is dried with high-speed nitrogen. The method of injecting fracturing fluid from the second injection port 6 is: the cleaned and dried microscopic etching matrix model is reloaded into the high-temperature and high-pressure visual displacement experimental device, and connected to the second injection pump; then the fracturing fluid is injected into the microscopic etching matrix model from the second injection port 6, and the injection pressure curve and model image are recorded. In this embodiment, the fracturing fluid used is an anionic polyacrylamide solution with a concentration of 0.1%. The method for evaluating the depth of fracturing fluid intrusion into the reservoir and the degree of filter cake damage is: observe and measure the intrusion range of the fracturing fluid in the second etching area 3 according to the model image, as the depth of fracturing fluid intrusion into the reservoir; observe and calculate the filter cake resistance coefficient at different time points according to the injection pressure curve, as the degree of filter cake damage. The larger the filter cake resistance coefficient, the more serious the filter cake damage.

[0074] In this embodiment, the fracturing fluid is injected from the second injection port 6 at a rate of 0.1 μL / min, and the injection is stopped when the injection pressure increases sharply, and the injection pressure curve and model image during the injection process are recorded. Figure 8 : is the injection pressure curve of the microscopic etched matrix model fracturing fluid injection process in the embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen that the fracturing fluid has high seepage resistance in the microscopic etched matrix model and is difficult to enter the matrix, so the fracturing fluid mainly damages the matrix through the filtrate. Fig. 9 This is a partial enlarged image of the second etched area 3 of the model after the microscopic etched matrix model fracturing fluid test in the embodiment of the present invention is completed. Fig. 9 The flow front of the fracturing fluid in the model can be clearly observed, and the flow position of the fracturing fluid in the model can be observed.

[0075] S4. Load the microscopic etched fracture model into a high-temperature and high-pressure visualized displacement experimental device, inject nitrogen from the No. 1 injection port 11 at a constant speed v1 until the injection pressure of the No. 1 injection port 11 is stable, and record the injection pressure p2; then, inject fracturing fluid degelling liquid from the No. 2 injection port 61; after standing, inject nitrogen from the No. 1 injection port 11 at a constant speed v1 until the pressure of the No. 1 injection port 11 is stable, and record the injection pressure p3; record the injection pressure curve during the injection of the fracturing fluid degelling liquid and the model images at each stage, and calculate the degree of damage of the fracturing fluid residue to the cracks of the tight gas reservoir based on the two recorded injection pressures.

[0076] The use of the fracturing fluid degelling liquid in step S4 is to simulate the damage degree of the fracturing fluid residue to the cracks of the tight gas reservoir by comparing the injection pressure before and after the injection of the fracturing fluid degelling liquid after fracturing, and then evaluate the damage degree of the fracturing fluid to the cracks of the tight gas reservoir.

[0077] Specifically, the method of replacing the microscopic etching matrix model with the microscopic etching fracture model is as follows: the microscopic etching matrix model is taken out from the high temperature and high pressure visual displacement experimental device and replaced with the microscopic etching fracture model; then the microscopic etching fracture model is connected to two injection pumps, and respectively connected to the No. 1 injection port 11 and the No. 2 injection port 61. The method of injecting nitrogen and fracturing fluid degelling liquid from the No. 1 injection port 11 and the No. 2 injection port 61 respectively is as follows: first, nitrogen is injected into the microscopic etching fracture model from the No. 1 injection port 11 until the injection pressure reaches a stable value p2, and the injection pressure and model image are recorded; then, the fracturing fluid degelling liquid is injected into the microscopic etching fracture model from the No. 2 injection port 61 until the injection pressure reaches a stable value, and the injection pressure and model image are recorded; finally, after standing for 2 hours, nitrogen is injected into the microscopic etching fracture model from the No. 1 injection port 11 until the injection pressure reaches a stable value p3, and the injection pressure and model image are recorded. The fracturing fluid debonding liquid used is an anionic polyacrylamide solution with a concentration of 0.1%, and 0.5% hydrochloric acid is added as a debonding agent. The injection rate of nitrogen and fracturing fluid debonding liquid is 0.1 μL / min. The method for calculating the degree of damage of fracturing fluid residue to the cracks of tight gas reservoirs is as follows: The degree of damage of fracturing fluid residue to the cracks of tight gas reservoirs η1 is calculated according to the following formula:

[0078]

[0079] Among them, p2 is the stable pressure after nitrogen injection, and p3 is the stable pressure after the injection of fracturing fluid degelling fluid and then the injection of nitrogen after 2 hours of quiescence. The greater the damage degree η1, the more serious the damage of fracturing fluid residue to reservoir fractures.

[0080] In this embodiment, nitrogen is injected from the No. 1 injection port 11 at a rate of 0.1 μL / min until the injection pressure is stable, and the injection pressure p2 is recorded as 19 kPa; then, the fracturing fluid degelling liquid is injected from the No. 2 injection port 61 until it flows out of the No. 1 injection port 11 and then the injection is stopped; after standing for 2 hours, nitrogen is injected from the No. 1 injection port 11 at a rate of 0.1 μL / min until the pressure is stable, and the injection pressure is recorded as 20 kPa; the injection pressure curve and model images of each stage during the injection of the fracturing fluid degelling liquid are recorded; the damage degree η1 of the fracturing fluid residue to the cracks of the tight gas reservoir is calculated to be 5%, indicating that the damage degree of the fracturing fluid residue to the cracks of the tight gas reservoir is relatively small. Fig.10This is a partially enlarged image of the second etched area 31 of the model after the fracturing fluid residue test of the micro-etched fracture model in the embodiment of the present invention is completed. It can be seen that there is no fracturing fluid residue left in the groove 7 in the middle of the model.

[0081] This embodiment is also used to evaluate the formulation of fracturing fluid for tight gas reservoirs, and the steps are: using fracturing fluids of different formulations to make microscopic etching models and conduct fault detection experiments, respectively, and selecting the fracturing fluid with the least damage as the optimal formulation based on the degree of damage of the fracturing fluid to the matrix and cracks of the tight gas reservoir.

[0082] The present invention can directly observe the dynamic process of fracturing fluid invasion and backflow of different types and components, and can analyze the reservoir damage mechanism of fracturing fluid at the micro level. In addition, two microscopic etching models are designed, and by optimizing the test procedure, the full process evaluation of the damage of different types and components of fracturing fluid to the reservoir matrix, the damage of fracturing fluid filter cake to the reservoir, and the damage of fracturing fluid residue to the reservoir fracture is realized, and the evaluation results are more systematic and comprehensive.

[0083] It is known from common technical knowledge that the present invention can be implemented by other embodiments that do not deviate from its spirit or essential features. Therefore, the above disclosed embodiments are only illustrative in all respects and are not exclusive. All changes within the scope of the present invention or within the scope equivalent to the present invention are included in the present invention.
