Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of unconventional natural gas extraction and fracturing production increase, and specifically relates to a methane in-situ explosion fracturing system and method based on shock wave ignition. Background Art
[0002] Against the backdrop of the "dual carbon" strategic goal, unconventional natural gas, as a crucial component of my country's resource system, has become a key driver of energy transition. In recent years, my country has achieved a series of major breakthroughs in the field of enhanced unconventional natural gas development technology. Hydraulic fracturing, currently one of the mainstream technologies for large-scale unconventional natural gas extraction, significantly improves reservoir macropermeability and exhibits broad applicability. However, traditional hydraulic fracturing solutions have numerous limitations. For example, they can easily lead to uniform fracture morphology, making it difficult to construct a three-dimensional, complex reservoir fracture network. This results in low extraction efficiency and unsatisfactory results.
[0003] Based on the above dilemma, some scholars have innovatively proposed the process technology concept of methane in-situ explosive fracturing. Methane, as the main component of unconventional natural gas, is a flammable and explosive gas that can produce a strong explosive shock effect after explosion. By injecting a variety of different types of combustion aids into the reservoir and fully mixing them with the in-situ desorbed methane, the ignition and explosion operation is carried out after the two reach a predetermined ratio and meet the explosion pressure conditions, an explosive fracturing phenomenon is generated inside the wellbore, and then a complex fracture network system is constructed to facilitate the efficient development of unconventional natural gas. However, the existing ignition method mostly uses cables to control the downhole ignition device. This method has the defects of relatively low ignition energy and poor explosion effect, and it is difficult to shape a complex fracture network structure over a large range after the explosion. For this reason, there is an urgent need to provide an explosive fracturing system and method that can significantly enhance the effect of methane in-situ explosive fracturing.

[0007] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the clamping operation of the first and second diaphragms and to ensure the overall sealing effect and pressure-bearing strength after clamping, the pressure-bearing pipe body includes an upper pipe body, a middle pipe body and a lower pipe body coaxially distributed from top to bottom; The clamper includes an upper diaphragm flange, a lower diaphragm flange, a sealing ring and a fastening bolt; the upper diaphragm flange is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the lower end of the upper tube body; the lower diaphragm flange is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the upper end of the middle tube body, and is distributed relative to the upper diaphragm flange up and down; the sealing ring is arranged between the upper diaphragm flange and the lower diaphragm flange; a plurality of fastening bolts are evenly arranged in a circumferential direction through a plurality of pairs of screw holes between the upper diaphragm flange and the lower diaphragm flange, and the two are locked and fixedly connected; wherein the outer edge portion of the diaphragm is arranged between the upper diaphragm flange and the lower diaphragm flange, and is fitly connected to the inner edge portion of the sealing ring; The clamper 2 includes an upper diaphragm flange 2, a lower diaphragm flange 2, a sealing ring 2 and a fastening bolt 2; the upper diaphragm flange 2 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the lower end of the middle tube body; the lower diaphragm flange 2 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the upper end of the lower tube body, and is distributed relative to the upper diaphragm flange 2 up and down; the sealing ring 2 is arranged between the upper diaphragm flange 2 and the lower diaphragm flange 2; multiple fastening bolts 2 are evenly circumferentially arranged in multiple pairs of screw holes between the upper diaphragm flange 2 and the lower diaphragm flange 2, and the two are locked and fixed together; wherein the outer edge portion of the diaphragm 2 is arranged between the upper diaphragm flange 2 and the lower diaphragm flange 2, and is fitly connected to the inner edge portion of the sealing ring 2.
[0008] As a preference, both the diaphragm 1 and the diaphragm 2 are made of industrial pure aluminum film.
[0009] Furthermore, in order to ensure a good sealing effect at the connection, the end cover and the pressure-bearing tube body are sealed and connected via a graphite sealing ring.
[0010] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the convenient control of the connection status of the high-pressure air supply pipeline and the double-membrane air supply pipeline with the high-pressure gas tank, the air outlet valve 1 is a three-way valve, and is connected to the air inlet end of the high-pressure air supply pipeline and the air inlet end of the double-membrane air supply pipeline through the three-way valve 1 respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, in order to ensure the effective formation of shock waves and at the same time, to ensure the explosion effect, the high-pressure gas tank is filled with pure hydrogen or pure helium or pure nitrogen or pure argon, or a mixed gas of hydrogen, helium, nitrogen and argon in a set proportion.
[0012] In the present invention, an end cap is encapsulated at the upper open end of the pressure-bearing tube body. At the same time, diaphragms 1 and 2 are respectively assembled inside the pressure-bearing tube body using clamps 1 and 2 connected in series on the pressure-bearing tube body. This allows the inner cavity of the pressure-bearing tube body to be separated from top to bottom into three sections using diaphragms 1 and 2 spaced apart from each other. The portion between the end cap and diaphragm 1 forms a high-pressure chamber, the portion between diaphragms 1 and 2 forms a double-diaphragm chamber, and the portion below diaphragm 2 can be directly connected to the wellbore. Connecting pipes 1 and 2, which are provided at the air inlet section of the vacuuming pipeline, are used to connect the high-pressure chamber and the double-diaphragm chamber, respectively. This allows the high-pressure chamber and the double-diaphragm chamber to be vacuumed using a vacuum pump. Connecting valves 1 and 2 are separately provided on connecting pipes 1 and 2, respectively. This allows the vacuum levels of the high-pressure chamber and the double-diaphragm chamber to meet operational requirements through independent control. By connecting a high-pressure gas supply line and a double-membrane gas supply line connected to a high-pressure gas tank to the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber, respectively, the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber can be filled with driving gas after the vacuum operation is completed. By separately providing filling valves one and two on the high-pressure gas supply line and the double-membrane gas supply line, respectively, it is possible to effectively ensure that the filling pressure of the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber meet the operational requirements through independent control. A packer is mounted on the lower end of the pressure-bearing pipe body and is seated inside the wellbore. In this way, the packer can effectively seal the annulus between the pressure-bearing pipe body and the wellbore, thereby forming an explosion chamber below diaphragm one. An oxygen delivery line connected to an oxygen cylinder passes through the packer and connects to the explosion chamber, facilitating the injection of oxygen into the explosion chamber. By providing a combustible gas concentration detector, the concentration data of the mixed explosive gas in the explosion chamber can be detected in real time, thereby facilitating a timely determination of whether the required explosion standard has been met. A double-membrane air release pipeline is connected to the connecting pipeline 2, and a pressure relief valve is connected in series to the double-membrane air release pipeline. On the one hand, the vacuum operation can be ensured to be carried out efficiently and smoothly when the pressure relief valve is closed. On the other hand, the double-membrane chamber can be quickly depressurized when the pressure relief valve is open. Since the double-membrane chamber is located between the high-pressure chamber and the explosion chamber, the pressure difference effect can be used to cause diaphragms one and two to rupture quickly in sequence, so that the driving gas in the high-pressure chamber can quickly break through diaphragms one and two under the action of the pressure difference and enter the explosion chamber, and can quickly generate shock waves in the explosion chamber. Therefore, the shock wave can cause the explosion gas to spontaneously ignite. This process can generate multiple ignition points at the same time, thereby effectively improving the ignition energy, and quickly expand to explosion on this basis, which can significantly enhance the explosion effect, and is conducive to shaping a crack network structure with high complexity and ideal connectivity in a larger range after the explosion.The system of the present invention can generate a huge pressure difference in an instant by means of vacuuming-pressurizing gas injection-rapid pressure relief, and thus can break the membrane instantly. At the moment of membrane breaking, a shock wave is formed in the low-pressure section. The temperature and pressure of the mixed gas in the low-pressure end and the connected explosion chamber rise sharply under the action of the shock wave, and ignition and explosion occur under the action of the reflected shock wave. The shock wave temperature and pressure increase effect and the overall ignition mode can significantly promote the methane explosion effect, and significantly improve the transformation effect of methane in-situ explosion fracturing on the reservoir. Selecting a suitable membrane breaking method is a key step in generating a stable shock wave in the shock tube. The innovative double-diaphragm structure membrane breaking in the present invention has the characteristics of convenient operation, rapid response, and good reusability.
[0013] The system has a reasonable structure and simple operation process. It can instantly generate high-temperature and high-pressure shock waves in the explosion space and ignite through shock waves. Its ignition energy is relatively high, which can significantly enhance the explosion effect. It can construct a highly complex fracture network structure, which is conducive to improving the extraction efficiency and extraction effect of unconventional natural gas.
[0014] The present invention also provides a methane in-situ explosion fracturing method based on shock wave ignition, which uses a methane in-situ explosion fracturing system based on shock wave ignition, including the following steps: Step 1: Collect geological parameters and exploration data of the target reservoir, and determine the inflation pressure of the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber according to the reservoir conditions, and then select the corresponding diaphragm 1 and diaphragm 2; Step 2: Clamp diaphragm 1 and diaphragm 2 into holder 1 and holder 2 respectively, and seal the end cap onto the upper open end of the pressure tube body to complete the assembly of the shock tube assembly; at the same time, sleeve the packer onto the exterior of the lower end of the pressure tube body; Step 3: Lower the shock tube assembly into the target fracturing section inside the wellbore and set the packer inside the wellbore; Step 4: Keep the outlet valve 1 and the pressure relief valve closed, start the vacuum pump, open the connecting valve 1 and the connecting valve 2, and use the vacuum pipeline to evacuate the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber. When the high-pressure chamber reaches the set vacuum degree 1, the connecting valve 1 is closed. When the double-membrane chamber reaches the set vacuum degree 2, the connecting valve 2 is closed. Step 5: Control the second outlet valve to open, and use the oxygen in the oxygen delivery pipeline to deliver it to the explosion chamber. At the same time, use the combustible gas concentration detector to collect the concentration signal of the explosion gas in the explosion chamber in real time, and send it to the controller. The controller obtains the concentration data of the explosion gas according to the concentration signal of the explosion gas. When the concentration data of the explosion gas reaches the set threshold, control the second outlet valve to close, and let it stand for a set time to allow the explosion gas to be fully mixed. Step 6: Control the outlet valve 1 to open, control the filling valve 1 and the filling valve 2 to open, and use the high-pressure gas supply pipeline and the double-membrane gas supply pipeline to fill the driving gas in the high-pressure gas tank into the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber respectively. When the high-pressure chamber reaches the set inflation pressure 1, control the filling valve 1 to close. When the double-membrane chamber reaches the set inflation pressure 2, control the filling valve 2 to close. After the filling valves 1 and 2 are both closed, control the outlet valve 1 to close. Step seven: Control the pressure relief valve to open, and use the double-membrane air relief pipeline to quickly relieve the pressure of the double-membrane chamber, so that the pressure difference between the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber increases instantly. The instantly increased pressure difference causes the gas in the high-pressure chamber to break through diaphragm one and diaphragm two at high speed and enter the explosion chamber. Under the impetus of the high-speed airflow, the explosion gas produces compression waves that quickly superimpose to form shock waves. The compression effect of the shock wave causes the temperature and pressure of the explosion gas in the explosion chamber to rise sharply. At the same time, when the explosion gas is compressed again by the reflected shock wave formed after being reflected by the end of the explosion chamber, its temperature and pressure further increase, and then global self-ignition occurs within microseconds and quickly expands into explosion.
[0015] As a preference, in step five, the time is set to 1 to 2 hours.
[0016] As a preference, in step six, the second inflation pressure is half of the first inflation pressure.
[0017] The present invention provides a methane in-situ explosion fracturing system and method based on shock wave ignition, which aims to provide a new technical path and solution for the further optimization and upgrading of unconventional natural gas development technology. Specifically, the inflation pressure of the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber is first determined according to the target reservoir conditions, and the corresponding diaphragms one and two are selected, which can effectively ensure that diaphragms one and two can be quickly broken under the pressure difference generated subsequently. The sealer mounted on the lower end of the pressure-bearing pipe body is then sealed in the wellbore, which can facilitate the formation of an explosion chamber below diaphragm two that is isolated from the upper space of the wellbore, the double-membrane chamber and the high-pressure chamber, thereby effectively ensuring the subsequent explosion effect. Then, a vacuum pump is used to evacuate the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber, which can not only remove the gas in the two chambers that has an adverse effect on the generation of shock waves or the subsequent explosion process, but also effectively ensure that a larger amount of driving gas can be filled in later. Then, driving gases of different pressures are respectively added to the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber, and then the pressure relief valve is opened to quickly relieve the pressure of the double-membrane chamber. Since the double-membrane chamber is located between the high-pressure chamber and the explosion chamber, the driving gas can quickly cause diaphragms one and two to rupture in sequence with the help of the pressure difference effect and enter the explosion chamber. The explosion gas produces compression waves under the push of the high-speed airflow and quickly forms shock waves. The compression effect of the shock wave causes the temperature and pressure of the mixed gas in the explosion chamber to rise sharply. When the gas is compressed again by the reflected shock wave formed after being reflected by the explosion chamber, its temperature and pressure rise further, and then spontaneous combustion occurs and multiple ignition points are generated, which then quickly expands into explosion, significantly enhancing the explosion effect. In this way, the shock wave, high-pressure gas and high-temperature effect generated by the explosion can be effectively utilized to synergistically impact the target reservoir, promote the development of cracks in the well wall, form a complex fracture network, and greatly improve the recovery rate.
[0018] The present invention utilizes the shock wave principle, rapidly forming a shock wave driven by a pressure differential. Leveraging the shock wave's ability to heat materials to ultra-high temperatures within an extremely short time span, measured in microseconds, the combustible mixture can rapidly explode under high temperature and pressure. Due to the extremely high initial temperature and pressure, the number of activated molecules in the mixture increases compared to explosions at room temperature and pressure, significantly increasing the probability of molecular collisions and releasing a higher total energy. Simultaneously, the energy density per unit time can also be significantly increased. Furthermore, the instantaneous pressure of a high-temperature, high-pressure explosion can reach hundreds of MPa, while the pressure of a room-temperature explosion is typically less than 2 MPa. Consequently, the explosion process of the present invention can release more energy, generate a stronger shock wave, produce greater destructive power, and have a wider impact range, significantly enhancing the effectiveness of in-situ methane explosion fracturing. Furthermore, the explosion energy can be precisely controlled by adjusting the driving gas injection pressure, and shock wave explosion operations can be repeated multiple times to more effectively enhance the effectiveness of in-situ methane explosion fracturing. Compared with conventional ignition methods, the shock wave ignition method in the present invention can quickly increase the initial temperature and pressure of the mixed gas in the explosion wellbore, and through the overall temperature increase ignition method, it can generate stronger explosion impact energy, effectively enhancing the explosion efficiency.
[0019] This method has a simple implementation process, ideal combustion and explosion effect, reliable performance, and a high safety factor. It can enable the wellbore combustion and explosion gas to achieve rapid temperature and pressure increase and global multi-point ignition operations, can effectively enhance the in-situ combustion and explosion fracturing effect of methane, and can significantly improve the extraction efficiency and extraction effect of unconventional natural gas. It has broad application prospects and great practical value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] In the present invention, an end cap is encapsulated at the upper open end of the pressure-bearing tube body. At the same time, diaphragms 1 and 2 are respectively assembled inside the pressure-bearing tube body using clamps 1 and 2 connected in series on the pressure-bearing tube body. This allows the inner cavity of the pressure-bearing tube body to be separated from top to bottom into three sections using diaphragms 1 and 2 spaced apart from each other. The portion between the end cap and diaphragm 1 forms a high-pressure chamber, the portion between diaphragms 1 and 2 forms a double-diaphragm chamber, and the portion below diaphragm 2 can be directly connected to the wellbore. Connecting pipes 1 and 2, which are provided at the air inlet section of the vacuuming pipeline, are used to connect the high-pressure chamber and the double-diaphragm chamber, respectively. This allows the high-pressure chamber and the double-diaphragm chamber to be vacuumed using a vacuum pump. Connecting valves 1 and 2 are separately provided on connecting pipes 1 and 2, respectively. This allows the vacuum levels of the high-pressure chamber and the double-diaphragm chamber to meet operational requirements through independent control. By connecting a high-pressure gas supply line and a double-membrane gas supply line connected to a high-pressure gas tank to the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber, respectively, the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber can be filled with driving gas after the vacuum operation is completed. By separately providing filling valves one and two on the high-pressure gas supply line and the double-membrane gas supply line, respectively, it is possible to effectively ensure that the filling pressure of the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber meet the operational requirements through independent control. A packer is mounted on the lower end of the pressure-bearing pipe body and is seated inside the wellbore. In this way, the packer can effectively seal the annulus between the pressure-bearing pipe body and the wellbore, thereby forming an explosion chamber below diaphragm one. An oxygen delivery line connected to an oxygen cylinder passes through the packer and connects to the explosion chamber, facilitating the injection of oxygen into the explosion chamber. By providing a combustible gas concentration detector, the concentration data of the mixed explosive gas in the explosion chamber can be detected in real time, thereby facilitating a timely determination of whether the required explosion standard has been met. A double-membrane air release pipeline is connected to the connecting pipeline 2, and a pressure relief valve is connected in series to the double-membrane air release pipeline. On the one hand, the vacuum operation can be ensured to be carried out efficiently and smoothly when the pressure relief valve is closed. On the other hand, the double-membrane chamber can be quickly depressurized when the pressure relief valve is open. Since the double-membrane chamber is located between the high-pressure chamber and the explosion chamber, the pressure difference effect can be used to cause diaphragms one and two to rupture quickly in sequence, so that the driving gas in the high-pressure chamber can quickly break through diaphragms one and two under the action of the pressure difference and enter the explosion chamber, and can quickly generate shock waves in the explosion chamber. Therefore, the shock wave can cause the explosion gas to spontaneously ignite. This process can generate multiple ignition points at the same time, thereby effectively improving the ignition energy, and quickly expand to explosion on this basis, which can significantly enhance the explosion effect, and is conducive to shaping a crack network structure with high complexity and ideal connectivity in a larger range after the explosion.The system of the present invention can generate a huge pressure difference in an instant by means of vacuuming-pressurizing gas injection-rapid pressure relief, and thus can break the membrane instantly. At the moment of membrane breaking, a shock wave is formed in the low-pressure section. The temperature and pressure of the mixed gas in the low-pressure end and the connected explosion chamber rise sharply under the action of the shock wave, and ignition and explosion occur under the action of the reflected shock wave. The shock wave temperature and pressure increase effect and the overall ignition mode can significantly promote the methane explosion effect, and significantly improve the transformation effect of methane in-situ explosion fracturing on the reservoir. Selecting a suitable membrane breaking method is a key step in generating a stable shock wave in the shock tube. The innovative double-diaphragm structure membrane breaking in the present invention has the characteristics of convenient operation, rapid response, and good reusability.
[0030] The system has a reasonable structure and simple operation process. It can instantly generate high-temperature and high-pressure shock waves in the explosion space and ignite through shock waves. Its ignition energy is relatively high, which can significantly enhance the explosion effect. It can construct a highly complex fracture network structure, which is conducive to improving the extraction efficiency and extraction effect of unconventional natural gas.
[0031] The present invention also provides a methane in-situ explosion fracturing method based on shock wave ignition, which uses a methane in-situ explosion fracturing system based on shock wave ignition, including the following steps: Step 1: Collect geological parameters and exploration data of the target reservoir, and determine the inflation pressure of the high-pressure chamber 7 and the double-membrane chamber 8 based on the reservoir conditions and the preset explosion pressure and temperature, and then select the corresponding diaphragm 1 5 and diaphragm 2 6; Step 2: Clamp diaphragm 1 5 and diaphragm 2 6 into holder 1 3 and holder 2 4 respectively, and seal the end cap 2 onto the upper open end of the pressure tube 1 to complete the assembly of the shock tube assembly; at the same time, fit the packer 15 onto the outside of the lower end of the pressure tube 1; Step 3: Lower the shock tube assembly into the target fracturing section inside the wellbore 33 and set the packer 15 inside the wellbore 33; Step 4: Keep the outlet valve 1 and the pressure relief valve closed, control the vacuum pump 12 to start working, control the connecting valve 1 and the connecting valve 2 to open, and use the vacuum pumping pipeline 13 to vacuum the high-pressure chamber 7 and the double-membrane chamber 8. When the high-pressure chamber 7 reaches the set vacuum degree 1, the connecting valve 1 is controlled to be closed, and when the double-membrane chamber 8 reaches the set vacuum degree 2, the connecting valve 2 is controlled to be closed; preferably, pressure sensors 1 and 2 are respectively connected to the connecting pipelines 1 and 2, and the pressure sensors 1 and 2 are respectively used to collect pressure signals 1 and 2 of the high-pressure chamber 7 and the double-membrane chamber 8 in real time during the vacuum pumping process, and send them to the controller, and the controller obtains the vacuum degree 1 of the high-pressure chamber 7 and the vacuum degree 2 of the double-membrane chamber 8 according to the pressure signals 1 and 2; Step 5: Control the second outlet valve to open, and use the oxygen delivery pipeline 18 to deliver the oxygen in the oxygen cylinder 17 to the explosion chamber 16. At the same time, use the combustible gas concentration detector 14 to collect the concentration signal of the explosion gas (a mixture of methane and oxygen) in the explosion chamber 16 in real time and send it to the controller. The controller obtains the concentration data of the explosion gas according to the concentration signal of the explosion gas. When the concentration data of the explosion gas reaches the set threshold, the second outlet valve is controlled to close, and the gas is left to stand for a set time to allow the explosion gas to be fully mixed. Step 6: Control the outlet valve 1 to open, control the filling valve 1 and the filling valve 2 to open, and use the high-pressure gas supply pipeline 10 and the double-membrane gas supply pipeline 11 to fill the driving gas in the high-pressure gas tank 9 into the high-pressure chamber 7 and the double-membrane chamber 8 respectively. When the high-pressure chamber 7 reaches the set inflation pressure 1, control the filling valve 1 to close. When the double-membrane chamber 8 reaches the set inflation pressure 2, control the filling valve 2 to close. After the filling valves 1 and 2 are both closed, control the outlet valve 1 to close; preferably, the pressure sensors 1 and 2 on the connecting pipelines 1 and 2 can be used to collect the pressure signal 3 in the high-pressure chamber 7 and the pressure signal 4 in the double-membrane chamber 8 in real time during the gas filling process, and the controller obtains the inflation pressure 1 and the inflation pressure 2 based on the pressure signals 3 and 4 respectively; Step seven: Control the pressure relief valve to open, and use the double-membrane air relief pipe 14 to quickly relieve the pressure of the double-membrane chamber 8, so that the pressure difference between the high-pressure chamber 7 and the double-membrane chamber 8 increases instantly. The instantly increased pressure difference causes the gas in the high-pressure chamber 7 to break through the diaphragm 1 5 and the diaphragm 2 6 at high speed and enter the explosion chamber 16 (low-pressure section). Under the impetus of the high-speed airflow, the explosion gas produces compression waves that quickly superimpose to form a shock wave. The compression effect of the shock wave causes the temperature and pressure of the explosion gas in the explosion chamber 16 to rise sharply. At the same time, when the explosion gas is compressed again by the reflected shock wave formed after being reflected by the end of the explosion chamber 16, its temperature and pressure further increase, and then global self-ignition occurs within microseconds and quickly expands into an explosion.
[0032] As a preference, in step five, the time is set to 1 to 2 hours.
[0033] As a preference, in step six, the second inflation pressure is half of the first inflation pressure.
[0034] The present invention provides a methane in-situ explosion fracturing system and method based on shock wave ignition, which aims to provide a new technical path and solution for the further optimization and upgrading of unconventional natural gas development technology. Specifically, the inflation pressure of the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber is first determined according to the target reservoir conditions, and the corresponding diaphragms one and two are selected, which can effectively ensure that diaphragms one and two can be quickly broken under the pressure difference generated subsequently. The sealer mounted on the lower end of the pressure-bearing pipe body is then sealed in the wellbore, which can facilitate the formation of an explosion chamber below diaphragm two that is isolated from the upper space of the wellbore, the double-membrane chamber and the high-pressure chamber, thereby effectively ensuring the subsequent explosion effect. Then, a vacuum pump is used to evacuate the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber, which can not only remove the gas in the two chambers that has an adverse effect on the generation of shock waves or the subsequent explosion process, but also effectively ensure that a larger amount of driving gas can be filled in later. Then, driving gases of different pressures are respectively added to the high-pressure chamber and the double-membrane chamber, and then the pressure relief valve is opened to quickly relieve the pressure of the double-membrane chamber. Since the double-membrane chamber is located between the high-pressure chamber and the explosion chamber, the driving gas can quickly cause diaphragms one and two to rupture in sequence with the help of the pressure difference effect and enter the explosion chamber. The explosion gas produces compression waves under the push of the high-speed airflow and quickly forms shock waves. The compression effect of the shock wave causes the temperature and pressure of the mixed gas in the explosion chamber to rise sharply. When the gas is compressed again by the reflected shock wave formed after being reflected by the explosion chamber, its temperature and pressure rise further, and then spontaneous combustion occurs and multiple ignition points are generated, which then quickly expands into explosion, significantly enhancing the explosion effect. In this way, the shock wave, high-pressure gas and high-temperature effect generated by the explosion can be effectively utilized to synergistically impact the target reservoir, promote the development of cracks in the well wall, form a complex fracture network, and greatly improve the recovery rate.
[0035] The present invention utilizes the shock wave principle, rapidly forming a shock wave driven by a pressure differential. Leveraging the shock wave's ability to heat materials to ultra-high temperatures within an extremely short time span, measured in microseconds, the combustible mixture can rapidly explode under high temperature and pressure. Due to the extremely high initial temperature and pressure, the number of activated molecules in the mixture increases compared to explosions at room temperature and pressure, significantly increasing the probability of molecular collisions and releasing a higher total energy. Simultaneously, the energy density per unit time can also be significantly increased. Furthermore, the instantaneous pressure of a high-temperature, high-pressure explosion can reach hundreds of MPa, while the pressure of a room-temperature explosion is typically less than 2 MPa. Consequently, the explosion process of the present invention can release more energy, generate a stronger shock wave, produce greater destructive power, and have a wider impact range, significantly enhancing the effectiveness of in-situ methane explosion fracturing. Furthermore, the explosion energy can be precisely controlled by adjusting the driving gas injection pressure, and shock wave explosion operations can be repeated multiple times to more effectively enhance the effectiveness of in-situ methane explosion fracturing. Compared to conventional ignition methods, the shock wave ignition method of the present invention can rapidly increase the initial temperature and pressure of the mixed gas in the explosion wellbore, and through the overall temperature increase ignition method, it generates stronger explosion impact energy, effectively enhancing the explosion efficiency. This method has a simple implementation process, ideal explosion effect, reliable performance, and a high safety factor. It can achieve rapid temperature and pressure increase and overall global multi-point ignition operations for the explosion gas in the wellbore, effectively enhancing the in-situ explosion fracturing effect of methane, significantly improving the extraction efficiency and extraction effect of unconventional natural gas, and has broad application prospects and great practical value.
