The geological resources of deep coalbed methane with a burial depth greater than 2,000 meters reach 40.71 trillion m 3 With the significant reduction in effective shallow coalbed methane development areas, deep coalbed methane reservoirs will be the main battlefield for the development of large gas fields in the future. Vigorously developing deep coalbed methane reservoirs can not only effectively solve the current energy shortage problem, but also is crucial to energy security and the realization of dual carbon goals.
[0003] The thickness of deep coalbed methane reservoirs usually does not exceed 6m. The reservoir thickness is small and cleats are widely developed, which are typical characteristics of deep coalbed methane reservoirs. The development of deep coalbed methane reservoirs must rely on large-scale extreme volume fracturing technology to form an effective support fracture network in the reservoir and ultimately achieve economic and profitable mining. However, during the fracturing process, the typical characteristics of deep coalbed methane reservoirs make it difficult to control the fracture extension trajectory, and the fracture height is difficult to control within the target coal seam section, which seriously affects the fracturing development effect and restricts the vigorous development of deep coalbed methane reservoirs.

[0019] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0020] The hydraulic fracturing optimization design method for controlling the fracture height of deep coalbed methane reservoirs of the present invention comprises the following steps: Step (1) determines the number and distribution angle of cleats in the target coal seam section by combining logging interpretation data with drilling coring, and determines the lithology and number of beddings of the top rock in the upper part of the deep coal seam gas reservoir coal seam section (i.e., the target coal seam section) and the bottom rock in the lower part of the deep coal seam gas reservoir coal seam section. e-trueSpecifically, the number of cleats in the coal seam section of the deep coalbed methane reservoir is counted according to the number of cleats per unit area on the core end face, and the distribution angle of the cleats is counted according to the angle between the cleats and the maximum horizontal principal stress of the formation. Determine the lithology of the top plate rock at the top and the bottom plate rock at the bottom of the target coal seam section. If the lithology is determined to be mudstone or shale, it is necessary to count the actual number of beddings in the top plate rock and the bottom plate rock. e-true ; If the rock type is sandstone, there is no need to consider the influence of stratification, and there is no need to count the actual number of stratifications in the top rock and bottom rock.
[0021] Step (2) uses drilling coring combined with indoor true triaxial compression tests and steady-state displacement tests to measure the mechanical property parameters, ground stress property parameters and basic physical property parameters of the roof rock, target coal seam section and floor rock; the mechanical property parameters include Young's modulus E, Poisson's ratio ν, tensile strength K1, compressive strength K2 and friction coefficient μ of the rock; the ground stress property parameters include the maximum horizontal principal stress SH, the minimum horizontal principal stress Sh and the vertical principal stress SV; the basic physical property parameters include the porosity of the rock φ and permeability k.
[0022] Step (3), combining the parameters collected in step (1) and step (2), using the fracturing module of the petrel software platform to establish a three-dimensional fracture penetration numerical simulation model; specifically, before establishing the three-dimensional fracture penetration numerical simulation model, firstly, according to the rock mechanics parameters, the vertical fracture toughness and horizontal fracture toughness KIC parameters (i.e., fracture toughness index) of the three layers of the top rock, the target coal seam section, and the bottom rock required for establishing the model are calculated. The calculation formulas of the vertical fracture toughness KIC parameter and the horizontal fracture toughness KIC parameter are as follows: KIC vertical = 0.005 + 0.155 * K1 - 0.00312 * K2 + 0.0148 * E, unit MPa.m 0.5 KIC horizontal = 0.6*KIC vertical Step (4), set the cross-layer simulation control parameters of the top plate rock and the bottom plate rock through the fracture cross-layer offset control module (OFFSET) and the fracture cross-layer shear slip control module (Shear Slip) in the petrel software platform fracturing module, and continuously adjust the control parameters to perform cross-layer fracturing simulation until the critical mechanical parameters and critical bedding quantity B of the top and bottom plate rocks (i.e., the top plate rock and the bottom plate rock) are determined. e-critical To date; specifically: When the lithology of the roof rock (or bottom rock) is sandstone or limestone, set the layer penetration simulation control parameters, which include the minimum horizontal principal stress of the rock, the friction coefficient of the rock, and the tensile strength of the rock. Then enable the fracture penetration shear slip control module (Shear Slip) to simulate the fracture extension, and judge whether the fracture will penetrate the roof rock (or bottom rock). Then, continuously adjust the layer penetration simulation control parameters until the fracture height does not penetrate the roof rock (or bottom rock). At this time, the critical mechanical parameters are determined when the lithology of the roof rock (or bottom rock) is sandstone or limestone. The critical mechanical parameters include the critical minimum horizontal principal stress Sh- critical , critical rock friction coefficient μ- critical and critical rock tensile strength K1- critical ; When the lithology of the roof rock (or bottom rock) is shale, set the layer penetration simulation control parameters, which include the offset and the number of strata. The offset is set to a fixed value of 5.5 cm. Then enable the fracture penetration offset control module (OFFSET) to simulate the fracture extension. Determine whether the fracture will penetrate the roof rock (or bottom rock). Then, continuously adjust the layer penetration simulation control parameters until the fracture height does not penetrate the roof rock (or bottom rock). At this time, the critical number of strata B when the lithology of the roof rock (or bottom rock) is shale is determined. e-critical ; When the lithology of the roof rock (or bottom rock) is mudstone, set the layer penetration simulation control parameters, which include the offset and the number of strata. The offset is set to a fixed value of 2.5 cm. Then enable the fracture penetration offset control module (OFFSET) to simulate the fracture extension. Determine whether the fracture will penetrate the roof rock (or bottom rock). Then, continuously adjust the layer penetration simulation control parameters until the fracture height does not penetrate the roof rock (or bottom rock). At this time, the critical number of strata B is determined when the lithology of the roof rock (or bottom rock) is shale. e-critical ; Step (5), comparing the critical mechanical parameters and critical bedding number of the top and bottom plate rocks (i.e., the top plate rocks and the bottom plate rocks) determined in step (4) with the mechanical parameters and bedding number of the top and bottom plate rocks (i.e., the top plate rocks and the bottom plate rocks) actually corresponding to the target coal seam section, to determine whether it is necessary to control the fracture height; specifically, when the lithology of the top plate rock (or the bottom plate rock) of the actual target coal seam section is shale or mudstone, if the actual bedding number of the top plate rock (or the bottom plate rock) exceeds the critical bedding number of the top plate rock (or the bottom plate rock) determined in step (4), it means that the fracture height will not penetrate the layer during hydraulic fracturing of the target coal seam section, and therefore, no fracturing optimization design is required; if the actual bedding number of the top plate rock (or the bottom plate rock) does not exceed the critical bedding number of the top plate rock (or the bottom plate rock) determined in step (4), it means that the fracture height will not penetrate the layer during hydraulic fracturing of the target coal seam section, and therefore, it is necessary to perform fracturing optimization design.
[0023] When the lithology of the roof rock (or floor rock) of the actual target coal seam section is sandstone or limestone, if the actual minimum horizontal principal stress of the roof rock (or floor rock) exceeds the critical minimum horizontal principal stress Sh- of the roof rock (or floor rock) determined in step (4), critical , or, if the actual rock tensile strength of the roof rock (or bottom rock) exceeds the critical rock tensile strength K1- critical ; It means that the crack height will not penetrate the layer during hydraulic fracturing of the target coal seam segment, so there is no need to perform fracturing optimization design. If the actual rock friction coefficient of the top rock (or bottom rock) is less than the critical rock friction coefficient μ- critical This indicates that the crack height will not penetrate the layer during hydraulic fracturing of the target coal seam section, so there is no need for fracturing optimization design.
[0024] When the lithology of the roof rock (or floor rock) of the actual target coal seam section is sandstone or limestone, if the actual minimum horizontal principal stress of the roof rock (or floor rock) does not exceed the critical minimum horizontal principal stress Sh- of the roof rock (or floor rock) determined in step (4), critical , or, if the actual rock tensile strength of the roof rock (or floor rock) does not exceed the critical rock tensile strength K1- critical ; It indicates that the crack height will penetrate the layer during hydraulic fracturing of the target coal seam segment, so it is necessary to optimize the fracturing design. If the actual rock friction coefficient of the top rock (or bottom rock) is greater than the critical rock friction coefficient μ- critical , indicating that during hydraulic fracturing of the target coal seam section, the fracture height will also penetrate the layer, so it is necessary to carry out fracturing optimization design; Step (6), for the target coal seam section that needs to control the fracture height, a three-dimensional fracture penetration numerical simulation model is used to simulate the fracturing morphology, and the four fracturing construction parameters, namely, the fracturing fluid displacement, fracturing fluid viscosity, sand ratio and total fluid volume, are continuously adjusted until the fracturing results show that the fracture height meets the requirements; specifically, the fracturing construction parameters are continuously adjusted to calculate the height H of the simulated hydraulic fracture passing through the roof rock (or bottom rock). When the fracture height H is less than 1 / 4 of the thickness of the roof rock (or bottom rock) layer, it can be regarded that the fracture height is effectively controlled, and the fracturing construction parameters at this time are the final fracturing construction parameters obtained by the optimized design.
[0025] The fracturing construction parameters optimized in step (6) of the present invention are used to design a pumping schedule, and then the on-site fracturing construction is carried out.
[0026] Example The deep coalbed methane resources in a certain area of a certain oil field are rich in reserves, the reservoir depth exceeds 2000m, and the main development layer is the No. 8 coal series. However, the on-site fracturing results show that the fracture height is often unable to be effectively controlled, and the effect of single well fracturing is poor. Therefore, the above technical solution of the present invention is used to optimize the pumping program of the 10-32-56 well in a certain place. The specific steps are as follows: Step (1), through the well logging interpretation data combined with the drilling coring, it is determined that the top rock of the target coal seam section of the 10-32-56 well in a certain place is limestone and the bottom rock is mudstone, and the actual number of beddings in the bottom mudstone is 10.
[0027] Step (2) uses drilling coring combined with indoor true triaxial compression tests and steady-state displacement tests to measure the mechanical property parameters, ground stress property parameters and basic physical property parameters of the roof rock, target coal seam section and floor rock. The specific parameters are shown in Table 1: Table 1
[0028] Step (3) uses the fracturing module of the petrel software platform to establish a three-dimensional fracture penetration numerical simulation model as follows: Figure 1 As shown; Step (4), for the 10-32-56 well in a certain place, since the roof rock is limestone, the fracture penetration shear slip control module (Shear Slip) is enabled to simulate the fracture extension to determine whether the fracture will penetrate the roof rock. Then, the penetration simulation control parameters are continuously adjusted until the fracture height does not penetrate the roof rock. Finally, the critical mechanical parameters of the roof rock are determined. Among the critical mechanical parameters, the critical minimum horizontal principal stress Sh- critical =46MPa, critical rock friction coefficient μ- critical =0.63, critical rock tensile strength K1-critical =25.3MPa.
[0029] Since the bottom rock of Well 10-32-56 is mudstone, the fracture penetration offset control module (OFFSET) is used to simulate the fracture extension to determine whether the fracture will penetrate the bottom rock. Then, the penetration simulation control parameters are adjusted continuously until the fracture height does not penetrate the bottom rock. Finally, the critical number of layers B in the bottom rock is determined. e-critical =30 items.
[0030] Step (5), comparing the critical parameters determined in step (4) with the actual values, the results show that since the actual number of stratification of the bottom plate rock is less than the critical number of stratification, the bottom plate rock will undergo delamination, and the minimum horizontal principal stress and tensile strength of the top plate rock are also less than the critical parameters, so the top plate rock will also undergo delamination. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the design of the fracturing pumping program.
[0031] Step (6), for the target coal seam section of Well 10-32-56, a three-dimensional fracture penetration numerical simulation model was used to simulate the fracturing morphology, and then the four fracturing construction parameters, namely, the fracturing fluid displacement, fracturing fluid viscosity, sand ratio and total fluid volume, were continuously adjusted until the fracturing results showed that the height H of the fracture penetrating the top rock (or bottom rock) was less than 1 / 4 of the thickness of the top rock (or bottom rock) layer. The final optimized pumping parameters were: fracturing fluid displacement 16m 3 / min, fracturing fluid viscosity 15mPa·s -45mPa·s, sand ratio 0.7, total fluid volume 1943m 3 ,The comparison of the fracture morphology before and after optimization is shown in FIG2(a) and FIG2(b). As can be seen from FIG2(b), after optimization by the present invention, the fracture height direction is basically controlled within the coal seam section.
[0032] The pumping schedule was designed using the optimized fracturing parameters in step (6) above, and then the on-site fracturing was carried out. The final post-fracturing production results were compared with those of adjacent wells that were not optimized, as shown in Table 2: Table 2
[0033] It can be seen from Table 2 that the cumulative gas production of a single well (i.e., well 10-32-56) has been greatly increased compared with the unoptimized adjacent well (i.e., well 147).
[0034] The present invention also provides a system for optimizing the hydraulic fracturing design method for controlling the height of deep coalbed methane reservoir fractures, the system comprising: Data acquisition module: used to obtain the modeling parameters required for modeling; Modeling module: used to establish a three-dimensional fracture penetration numerical simulation model based on the fracturing module of the petrel software platform by using the modeling parameters; A calculation module: used to calculate the critical mechanical parameters and critical bedding quantity of the roof rock above the target coal seam section, and the critical mechanical parameters and critical bedding quantity of the floor rock below the target coal seam section using the three-dimensional fracture penetration numerical simulation model; Judgment module: used to judge whether the target coal seam section needs to control the fracture height according to the calculated critical mechanical parameters and critical bedding quantity of the roof rock, the calculated critical mechanical parameters and critical bedding quantity of the floor rock, the actual mechanical parameters and bedding quantity of the roof rock, and the actual mechanical parameters and bedding quantity of the floor rock; Optimization module: When the target coal seam section needs to control the fracture height, the three-dimensional fracture penetration numerical simulation model is used to simulate the fracturing morphology, and the fracturing construction parameters are obtained when the fracture height meets the requirements.
