Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum and natural gas development, and in particular relates to a method for reducing the fracture pressure of an ultra-long horizontal well of shale oil by volume fracturing. Background Art
[0002] The commercial development of shale oil has further accelerated the energy independence of the United States and pushed the wave of energy revolution to the world. China's shale oil resources are extremely rich. In 2020, PetroChina evaluated that the technically recoverable shale oil resources in China were 145×10 8 t, mainly distributed in large basins such as the Ordos Basin, Junggar Basin, Bohai Bay Basin, and Songliao Basin, with huge development potential. China has made breakthrough progress in continuous research on shale oil exploration and development technology. In 2019, Changqing Oilfield discovered the 1 billion-ton unconventional shale oil Qingcheng Oilfield in the Ordos Basin. Among them, long horizontal wells + volume fracturing are the technical direction for shale oil and gas to increase single-well production. At the same time, the reserves in sensitive areas such as water sources and forest edges reach 177 million tons and are difficult to mobilize. For this part of the reserves, ultra-long horizontal wells (more than 3000m) are currently the engineering and technical means to effectively mobilize reserves in sensitive areas. A large number of mine practices have confirmed that ultra-long horizontal well volume fracturing faces technical difficulties in high wellbore pressure. Long-term construction brings huge challenges to fracturing tools and wellbore pressure bearing. Among them, the fracture pressure is the core factor affecting high-pressure construction, and it is urgent to explore the method of breaking pressure. At present, there are mainly the following methods to reduce the fracture pressure of horizontal wells:
[0003] (1) Guo Jianchun et al. (Guo Jianchun, Li Xinyang, Wang Kun et al. A method and application for reducing reservoir fracture pressure based on discharge shock wave technology, patent number: CN202210961319.5). This method first obtains the initial fracture pressure of the reservoir rock; secondly, calculates the single discharge energy of the discharge device under different capacitances, different initial voltages and different conversion efficiencies, and obtains the rock fracture pressure of the rock under different discharge energies and after different discharge times, calculates the influence parameters of the discharge energy on the rock fracture pressure, and thus determines the discharge energy attenuation coefficient. Finally, by determining the degree to which the shock wave energy affects the reformed layer section at different perforation densities, the value of the discharge shock wave reducing the rock fracture pressure under different discharge energies, different discharge times and different perforation densities of the reformed layer section is calculated.
[0004] (2) Li Ning et al. (Li Ning, Wang Haibo, Li Fengxia et al. A fracturing method for reducing the fracture pressure of hot dry rock formations, patent number: CN202110330008.4). The method firstly drills to the target layer in the hot dry rock development area, completes the well with an open hole, and lowers the fracturing tubing into the well to a predetermined depth. The fracturing tubing is provided with a packer and a temperature and pressure sensor; secondly, cold water is continuously injected into the fracturing tubing to continuously cool the rock on the wall of the open hole section, forming microcracks on the wall of the well until the formation temperature drops to the preset temperature, and cold water is repeatedly injected back and forth to perform a cyclic low-temperature shock on the rock on the wall of the well, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the fracture pressure.
[0005] (3) Gou Bo et al. (Gou Bo, Guo Jianchun, Yu Ting. A new method for calculating the fracture pressure of rocks reduced by acid damage [J]. Journal of Central South University (Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Sinica, 2015, 46(01): 271-281). This method aims at the bottleneck problem of fracture in deep and tight oil and gas reservoirs. It uses the fact that the pore space increases after the rock is damaged by strong acid. The change of porosity is defined as the damage variable, and the damage variable is introduced into the fracture pressure prediction model. The damage variable is calculated using the sandstone acidizing model, and the fracture pressure after acid damage is predicted based on the damage variable, forming a fracture pressure change chart.
[0006] The representative method (1) mentioned above uses a discharge pulse wave to reduce the fracture pressure, but the method requires a discharge device to be installed at the wellhead, and a long-term discharge physical method is required to stimulate the reservoir rock. This method takes a considerable amount of time and is very inefficient. At the same time, the reduction in fracture pressure is very small. It is an ideal method, which is very different from reality and difficult to promote and apply. Method (2) is a method for hot dry rock to form microcracks in the rock by alternately injecting cold and hot water. It is a method for special rock bodies of hot dry rock. It also has low operating efficiency and a small range of applicable objects. Method (3) uses acid to reduce the fracture pressure. It is a commonly used method, but it has high acid corrosion and risk factors, and is difficult to promote and apply in unconventional volume fracturing. Therefore, a new method for reducing fracture pressure that can be promoted and applied is needed to provide strong support for the efficient development of shale oil. Summary of the invention
