Background Technology

[0002] The medium-deep coalbed methane (CBM) resources have enormous potential and are a hot area for CBM exploration and development in my country. With increasing development depth, the in-situ stress of coal reservoirs increases, and the reservoirs are characterized by low porosity and low permeability. Differential-scale fracturing has become an important means of CBM development. Therefore, evaluating the compressible sweet spots of deep coal reservoirs is a crucial technical guarantee for effective fracturing and efficient large-scale development. my country's CBM regions have complex tectonic conditions, influenced by multiple phases of tectonic alteration. In the horizontal plane, this results in complex fault patterns and diverse current in-situ stress types in structurally complex areas. Vertically, the coal seam structure, coal body structure, lithological combinations of the coal seam's top and bottom plates, and water-bearing properties are relatively complex. Achieving a reasonable combination and evaluation of multiple compressible parameters under these complex tectonic conditions is key to determining the appropriate scale of fracturing and differential fracturing of the coal seam.

[0003] With the implementation of differentiated fracturing schemes such as large-scale fracturing, cross-layer fracturing, and roof fracturing in medium-deep coal reservoirs, it has been recognized that the efficient development of deep coalbed methane requires the formulation of differentiated fracturing schemes based on the differentiated sweet spot elements of coal reservoirs. Therefore, the study of compressible sweet spots of coalbed methane in complex structural areas has become an important research direction for the exploration, development, and efficient stimulation of medium-deep coalbed methane. It is necessary to propose a compressible sweet spot evaluation method for deep coalbed methane in structurally complex areas based on stress type delineation. Summary of the Invention

[0062] This invention provides a method for evaluating the compressibility sweet spot of deep coalbed methane in structurally complex areas based on stress demarcation. First, the method calculates the geostress of a single well in a structurally complex area to determine the stress type of the well, and then divides the structurally complex area into zones based on the planar distribution of the well and the structural boundaries. Next, it analyzes the factors influencing coal and rock compressibility in different zones, identifying the key factors affecting coal seam compressibility evaluation in each zone, and establishing a geological index evaluation system for coalbed methane compressibility in different zones. Further, based on production data such as coal and rock core tests and well tests, the system quantifies each index parameter through well logging interpretation. Finally, it determines the weight of each index parameter in different stress field types using a subjective weighting method, establishes a secondary index parameter membership function, and classifies the evaluation level of the compressibility sweet spot in the entire complex area.

[0063] Compared to existing technologies that fail to consider the differences in coal seam parameters caused by structural complexity in the evaluation of compressible sweet spots in deep coalbed methane in structurally complex areas (i.e., the main controlling factors of deep and shallow coalbed methane sweet spots are different), and use the same evaluation index parameter weights for the entire area, this invention emphasizes that the stress variation with depth is the basis for controlling the fracturing quality of medium and deep coal seams. First, the structurally complex area is divided into zones based on stress type. Then, a differentiated evaluation index parameter weighting system is formulated for different stress types. The evaluation scheme realizes the differentiated setting and unified comparison of evaluation parameter systems for compressible sweet spots at different depths in the same block, which helps in the selection and evaluation of compressible sweet spots in structurally complex areas.

[0064] Compared to existing similar technologies that evaluate sweet spots related to coalbed methane by using single geological parameters (e.g., coal seam thickness, coal structure, gas content, permeability), this invention takes into account the existing fracturing technology system, which includes cross-layer fracturing, tectonic coal roof fracturing, and deep coal seam large-scale fracture network fracturing. It innovatively proposes a combination of six indices: desorption index, coal body compressibility index, tectonic compressibility index, aquifer pressure avoidance index, coal-rock fracture control index, and intra-layer fracture control index. These indices greatly optimize the existing sweet spot evaluation indices from three dimensions: resource availability, coal-rock compressibility, and coal-rock fracture network modification effect. The evaluation parameter system has strong innovation and comprehensiveness. Attached Figure Description

[0092] Based on actual production transformation experience and correlation analysis between output and relevant parameters, the influence of various levels of index parameters in different stress type zones on the evaluation of compressible sweet spots of coalbed methane is clarified, and a compressible evaluation index system for different structural zones is established.

[0093] The compressibility evaluation index system includes primary evaluation indicators and secondary evaluation indicators;

[0094] The primary index parameters include development potential parameters, coal and rock pressure suitability parameters, and fracturing and fracture control parameters. The development potential parameters include resource abundance, reservoir pressure gradient, and desorption index.

[0096] In this embodiment, based on two types of structural zones—reverse fault-strike-slip fault zone and normal fault zone—the influence of 10 parameters in 3 categories on resource availability and fracturing effect is analyzed, and a primary index parameter system and a secondary index parameter system are defined, as shown in Table 2 below:

[0097] Table 2

[0098]

[0099] S4. Quantitatively characterize the compressibility evaluation index system;

[0100] The quantitative characterization of the compressibility evaluation index system is to quantitatively characterize the secondary index parameters, specifically including: resource abundance characterization, reservoir pressure gradient characterization, desorption index characterization, coal body compressibility index characterization, structural compressibility index characterization, aquifer pressure avoidance index characterization, coal and rock fracture control index characterization, intra-layer fracture control index characterization, inter-layer stress difference characterization, and horizontal stress difference characterization.

L and P L The value is determined by a combination of single-well isothermal adsorption experiments and well logging curve interpretation; P represents reservoir pressure in MPa; P is determined by multiplying the reservoir pressure gradient by the burial depth; the calculation model for the coal body pressure suitability index is as follows:

[0108]

[0109] In the formula: MF is the coal seam compressibility index, in dimensionless units; MG is the coal seam structure index, which is the ratio of the cumulative thickness of primary structural coal and fractured coal to the total coal seam thickness, in dimensionless units. The primary structural coal and fractured coal are quantitatively characterized by coal core information and well logging interpretation; MD is the coal seam roof lithology index, which is the proportion of sandstone within 2m of the coal seam roof, in dimensionless units. The sandstone thickness is quantitatively determined by cuttings logging and well logging interpretation.

[0110] The calculation model for constructing the appropriate pressure index is as follows:

[0111] GF=|k|±a

[0112] In the formula: GF is the structural compressibility index, which is dimensionless and indicates the influence of fault complexity and fold deformation on hydraulic fracturing by comprehensively representing the distance from the fault and the curvature.

[0113] Curvature is quantified in a plane using thin plate theory. Based on the principle of being far from the fault distribution area (K=50) and the high-yield well distribution calibration area, |k|=15 and a=5 are determined.

[0114] The calculation model for the aquifer pressure avoidance index is as follows:

[0115]

[0116] In the formula: WF is the aquifer pressure avoidance index, in meters; H w The thickness of the aquifer is expressed in meters (m). S represents the porosity of the aquifer, expressed as a percentage (%). wThe aquifer water saturation index is expressed as a percentage (%). The aquifer pressure avoidance index essentially characterizes the lithology and thickness (H) of the aquifer within a 20m radius of the coal seam roof as interpreted by well logging. w ), Aquifer water saturation (S) w ) to perform quantitative characterization;

[0117] The calculation model for the coal and rock fracture control index is as follows:

[0118]

[0119] In the formula: MK is the coal and rock fracture control index, in units of 10. -3 μm 2 H L Thickness of bright to semi-bright coal, in meters; H m K represents the total coal seam thickness in meters. m Permeability, in units of 10 -3 μm 2 Well test permeability (mD; H) was used L K m Core testing and well test calibration were used respectively, and quantitative calculations were performed based on comprehensive interpretation of well logging curves.

[0120] The calculation model for the intralayer controlled seam index is as follows:

[0121]

[0122] In the formula: CK is the intra-layer joint control coefficient, in MPa; a is the number of interlayers, in units; σ 夹min σ represents the minimum horizontal stress in the interlayer, expressed in MPa. 煤min σ represents the minimum horizontal stress in a coal seam, expressed in MPa. 夹min σ 煤min All were quantitatively characterized using well logging interpretation; interlayers were determined by well logging interpretation, and stress differences were quantitatively characterized using a spring model based on well logging interpretation.

[0123] The interlayer stress difference is the minimum horizontal stress difference between the coal seam and the roof and floor. The interlayer stress difference is characterized by quantitative stress characterization based on well logging curves.

[0124] The horizontal stress difference is the difference between the maximum and minimum horizontal stress in the coal seam. The method for characterizing the horizontal stress difference is to quantitatively characterize the coal seam stress based on well logging curves.

[0125] Specifically, based on the spring model, well logging interpretation is used to quantitatively characterize stress;

[0126] The calculation model for the maximum horizontal stress is as follows:

[0127]

[0128] In the formula: σ h,max P represents the maximum principal stress, expressed in MPa. p σ is the pore pressure, in MPa; μ is Poisson's ratio, dimensionless; v α is the vertical stress, in MPa; α is the BIOT coefficient, a dimensionless regional parameter, which is 0.6 in this embodiment; EH1 and EH2 are tectonic stress coefficients, dimensionless, obtained by stress parameter calibration based on well test interpretation of different stress zones in step S1; E is Young's modulus, in GPa.

[0129] The calculation model for the minimum horizontal stress is as follows:

[0130]

[0131] In the formula: σ h,min The minimum principal stress is expressed in MPa; P p σ is the pore pressure, in MPa; μ is Poisson's ratio, dimensionless; v σ represents vertical stress, measured in MPa. v BIOT coefficient, dimensionless, regional parameter, valued at 0.6 in this embodiment; EH1 and EH2 are tectonic stress coefficients, dimensionless, obtained by stress parameter calibration based on well test interpretation of different stress zones in step S1; E is Young's modulus, in GPa.

[0132] The formula for calculating Poisson's ratio is:

[0133]

[0134] Where: Δt s Δt represents the transverse wave time difference of the target segment, in μs / ft; p The target segment's P-wave time difference is expressed in μs / ft.

[0135] The formula for calculating Young's modulus is:

[0136]

[0137] Where: Δt s Δt represents the transverse wave time difference of the target segment, in μs / ft; p P-wave transit time of the target section, μs / ft; ρb: rock skeleton bulk density, g / cm³ 3 ;

[0138] Since the stress algorithm in step S1 mainly requires parameters obtained from well test data, which is relatively scarce, and the stress test results are the stress of the entire target section, this stress is mainly used for stress type zoning. The calculation formula for the maximum and minimum horizontal stress in step S4 is based on parameters obtained from single-well logging data, which is relatively abundant and has high stress resolution. It can interpret and obtain the stress of interlayers and coal seams in the entire section, and is mainly used for the stress distribution of each single well in the area, for the fine prediction of plane parameters.

[0139] The difference between the S4 algorithm and the S1 algorithm is as follows: The stress interpretation model of the S4 algorithm needs to be calibrated using the stress results calculated by the actual measurements in the S1 algorithm. Only after the model is calibrated can stress parameters be predicted using well logging data for wells without S1 test data. Therefore, the calculation method here is a supplement to the S1 method. Compared with the S1 method, this algorithm can be extended to wells without well test data, and this method can calculate the stress within the formation, with higher interpretation accuracy.

[0140] S5. Based on the stress type of structural partitions, the weights of the compressibility evaluation index system are determined using a subjective weighting method.

[0141] Based on the correlation analysis between geological parameters and production data of a small number of production wells, and following a subjective weighting method (expert scoring method), the weights of primary index parameters (a) were determined for reverse fault type structural zones and normal fault / strike-slip fault type structural zones, respectively. i The weights of the secondary indicator parameters (a) and the secondary indicator parameters (a) ij See Table 3 for details;
