Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of data processing technology, and in particular to a shale gas flow seepage simulation method, device, electronic equipment and storage medium. Background Art
[0002] Currently, shale gas resources are widely distributed and abundant, but the original permeability and porosity of shale reservoirs are extremely low, requiring the application of multi-stage horizontal well fracturing technology to achieve commercial development of shale gas reservoirs. However, after large-scale fracturing, the complex fracture network is highly heterogeneous, with the coexistence of hydraulic fractures (HF), stimulated reservoir volumes (SRV), and unstimulated reservoir volumes (NSRV). This leads to significant differences in permeability between regions, and the permeability of both HF and SRV regions varies dramatically with distance. Linear flow models struggle to accurately describe the heterogeneity of fracture networks in shale gas reservoirs, especially by ignoring the strong heterogeneity of HF and SRV regions, resulting in significant errors in production predictions.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a heterogeneous shale gas seepage analytical simulation method to accurately characterize the heterogeneous distribution of permeability and achieve accurate and efficient prediction of the production of multi-stage fractured horizontal wells in shale gas reservoirs.

[0144] Figure 2C FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of shale gas flow simulation results according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2CAs shown in the figure, the horizontal axis of the three groups of curves indicates time in days, and the vertical axis indicates shale gas production in 10 4 m 3 The linear curve represents the prediction result output by the prediction model in the reservoir simulation software, and the circular curve represents the production prediction result obtained by this scheme. In the early stage of production, the production prediction value of this scheme is slightly higher than the prediction result output by the prediction model in the reservoir simulation software. As time goes by, the two curves quickly tend to fit, and the relative error is always within 5%. The numerical simulation method of this scheme can effectively capture the trend of gas reservoir production changes and achieve good matching results. This scheme is accurate and reliable in describing the fracturing production flow process of heterogeneous shale gas reservoirs.
[0145] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention has advantages over the existing technology mainly in the following three aspects:
[0146] (1) Realize the simultaneous characterization of hydraulic fractures and SRV regional heterogeneity to improve model accuracy.
[0147] The width of the main fractures and proppant density in hydraulically fractured shale reservoirs decrease with distance from the wellbore, and the density of the secondary fracture network in the SRV zone also decreases with distance. However, traditional simulation methods often ignore the non-uniform permeability distribution of the main fractures and SRV zones, making it difficult to characterize the impact of permeability decay with distance on shale gas well production. The shale gas seepage model proposed in this proposal innovatively utilizes a perturbation method to simultaneously characterize the permeability variations in both the main fractures and the SRV zone, and derives analytical solutions for bottomhole pressure and production in this scenario. This provides a more accurate computational tool for seepage simulation and production prediction in shale gas reservoir development.
[0148] (2) A seepage model suitable for different permeability change functions is established, which has strong versatility and adaptability.
[0149] Traditional simulation methods often assume abrupt permeability changes within the reconstructed zone or restrict the mathematical function form of permeability changes, failing to accurately capture complex permeability variation patterns. In contrast, the approach in this proposal allows the use of arbitrary functions to represent permeability distributions in reservoir simulations, making the model applicable to a wide range of reservoir conditions. Using arbitrary functions to represent permeability changes more accurately reflects the continuous permeability variations in actual reservoirs, thereby improving the accuracy of simulation results. Users can select the appropriate function form based on specific problems and actual data and embed it into the model for simulation and analysis. This flexibility in customizing functions effectively improves the adaptability and versatility of the model.
[0150] (3) Rapid prediction of shale gas reservoir pressure distribution and production is achieved through analytical models.
[0151] Due to the complexity of simulating heterogeneous shale gas reservoirs, traditional simulation methods typically use numerical simulation techniques to solve gas seepage dynamics. However, numerical simulation requires discretization of the geological model, which is inefficient and time-consuming. This solution establishes an analytical model of gas seepage in heterogeneous shale gas reservoirs and effectively introduces various complex physical processes (such as gas adsorption and desorption) into the mathematical model. Combining mathematical formulas and analytical solutions, it calculates shale gas pressure distribution and gas production rate, avoiding complex numerical calculations and iterative processes, thereby achieving prediction results in a shorter time.
