Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploration and development, and in particular to a method for predicting crack morphology taking interlayer weak surfaces into consideration. Background Art
[0002] As global oil and gas resource exploration and development gradually shifts to unconventional oil and gas development, hydraulic fracturing technology, as a measure to increase production of unconventional oil and gas wells, has been widely used in my country. However, unconventional oil and gas reservoirs are highly heterogeneous in the vertical direction. For example, tight sandstone has interlayers of sand and mudstone and mudstone interlayers, and shale has interlayers of shale-sandstone and shale-carbonate. This interlayer makes the fracture morphology complex and difficult to predict during hydraulic fracturing. How to predict the fracture morphology based on the actual interlayer interaction of the formation to guide the optimization of construction parameters is one of the current difficulties.
[0003] In order to study the extension morphology of hydraulic fractures in alternating strata, many scholars currently mainly establish models from two-dimensional and three-dimensional perspectives for research.
[0004] In terms of two-dimensional model research: The patent document with application number 202010545763.X discloses a multi-cluster fracturing fracture morphology prediction method based on discrete element fluid-solid coupling. This method can effectively consider the influence of interlayer weak surfaces on fracture morphology, but does not consider the flow of liquid in the third dimension. There is a certain gap with the actual three-dimensional formation and it has certain limitations.
[0005] In terms of three-dimensional model research, the patent document with application number 201910470372.3 discloses a method for constructing a cross-layer fracturing map. This method establishes a three-dimensional model and studies the height extension law of fractures in sandstone-mudstone alternating reservoirs, but does not consider the influence of interlayer weak surfaces on fracture morphology.
[0006] The existing methods that can consider the fracture morphology of interlayer weak surfaces are limited to two-dimensional models, which is somewhat different from the actual three-dimensional strata. The three-dimensional model is difficult to consider the influence of interlayer weak surfaces on fracture morphology. Summary of the invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to address the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a method for predicting fracture morphology by taking into account interlayer weak surfaces.

Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, according to actual needs, the method can also use other reasonable tools or methods to realize the fracture morphology prediction of the reservoir containing interlayer weak planes.
[0087] In this embodiment, the method preferably first establishes a three-dimensional geological model of shale-sandstone alternating strata in step S1. The geological characteristics of the shale-sandstone alternating strata are: 6 shale layers, 5 sandstone layers, and the perforation section is located in the middle shale layer. The three-dimensional geological model is established, from top to bottom, shale (4m), sandstone (4m), shale (10m), sandstone (4m), shale (8m), sandstone (4m), shale (4m), sandstone (4m), shale (2m), sandstone (4m), shale (2m), Figure 2 shown.
[0088] The method for establishing the rock seepage-stress coupling model in step S2 is:

[0092] (2) Based on the principle of conservation of matter, it is assumed that the flow of fluid in rocks satisfies Darcy's law, and the fluid continuity equation is established:
[0093]
[0094] Where J is the volume change rate of the porous medium, dimensionless; n ω is the ratio of the fluid volume to the total volume, dimensionless; ρ ω is the fluid density, kg / m 3 ; x is the space vector, m; dt is the time increment, s; v ω is the seepage velocity, m / s;
[0095] (3) Set the flow boundary conditions, pore pressure boundary conditions and position boundary conditions respectively:
[0096] The flow boundary condition is:
[0097]
[0098] Where n is the unit normal direction of the flow boundary; k is the permeability coefficient tensor; q0 is the total amount of liquid flowing through the boundary per unit time;
[0099] Among them, the pore pressure boundary condition can be expressed as P0=P 0b It means that the pore pressure on the boundary is a certain value P 0b ;
[0100] Among them, the position boundary condition is used to constrain the displacement of the boundary nodes in the X, Y, and Z directions. x =0,U y =0,U z =0;
[0101] (4) By defining the shape function and using the Galerkin method for finite element discretization, the seepage-stress coupling equation can be obtained:
[0102]
[0103] Where: K = ∫ V B T D ep BdV;

[0107] As the fracturing fluid is injected, the change in fluid pressure will cause the rock physical parameters to change. It is necessary to establish a dynamic model of rock physical parameters to update the rock physical parameter data in the rock seepage-stress coupling model. The dynamic model of rock physical parameters is:
[0108] (1) Multi-field coupled dynamic porosity model:
[0109]
[0110] Where ω is the coefficient of thermal expansion, 1 / k; εv is the volume strain, dimensionless;

[0114] (3) Dynamic model of pore compressibility:
[0115]
[0116] In the formula, ε v is the volume strain, dimensionless; ΔT is the temperature change, K; Δp is the pressure change, MPa.
[0117] In step S3, the fracture extension criterion preferably uses a viscoelastic Cohesive pore pressure unit to preset two fracture surfaces to simulate fracture initiation and extension, fracture surface I is perpendicular to the minimum principal stress direction, fracture surface II exists at the junction of the stratum layer, and fracture surface I and fracture II intersect, such as Figure 3 shown.
[0118] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, there are four pore pressure points at the unit where the fracture surface I and the fracture surface II intersect. By replacing the four pore pressure nodes with a common pore pressure node, that is, replacing the P1, P2, P3, and P4 pore pressure nodes in the intersecting unit with the common pore pressure node P0, the continuity condition of the fluid pressure at the intersection is met.
[0119] The prefabricated Cohesive pore pressure unit simulates the cracks, and the crack initiation conditions are:
[0120]
[0121] In the formula, σ n is the applied stress in the normal direction of the Colesive unit, MPa; τ s , τ t is the applied stress in two tangential directions of the unit, MPa; is the critical stress in the normal direction when the unit fails, MPa; is the critical stress in two directions when the unit fails tangentially, MPa.
[0122] When the Cohesive unit is damaged by cracking, it will enter the damage evolution stage, that is, the damage will continue to occur until the crack fracture energy is reached, and the unit will be completely destroyed, and finally a crack will be formed. The damage factor calculation formula is:
[0123]
[0124] In the formula, is the maximum displacement reached by the unit during loading, m; is the displacement when the unit is completely destroyed, m; is the displacement of the unit at the initial damage, m;
[0125] The damage factor D is used to determine the damage of the unit: when the damage has not yet occurred, the D value is 0; when the unit is completely damaged, the D value is 1.
[0126] In this embodiment, the fracturing fluid is regarded as a Newtonian fluid, and the flow model simulating the fracturing fluid in the fracture surface includes a tangential flow along the fracture surface and a normal flow perpendicular to the fracture surface:
[0127] (1) The tangential flow along the fracture surface is defined by Newtonian flow pressure conduction as:
[0128] Q=-k t Δp
[0129] Where Q is the displacement of fracturing fluid, m 3 / s;k t is the flow coefficient; p is the flow pressure, MPa;
[0130] Among them, the flow coefficient k t It can be expressed as:
[0131]
[0132] Where, d is the crack opening width; μ is the fracturing fluid viscosity, Pa.s;
[0133] (2) The normal flow perpendicular to the fracture surface simulates the seepage loss in the normal direction of the fracture surface and is characterized by defining the loss coefficient. The normal flow is expressed as:
[0134]
[0135] In the formula, q t ,q b are the seepage flow rates of the fluid on the upper and lower surfaces of the fracture, m 3 / s;c t 、c b are the fluid loss coefficients on the upper and lower surfaces of the fracture respectively; p t 、p b are the pore pressures of the body on the upper and lower surfaces of the crack, MPa; pi is the fluid pressure at the middle surface of the Colesive fracture unit, MPa.
[0136] Step S4, input the fracturing well parameters of the target well area, and establish a three-dimensional fully coupled fracturing model.
[0137] like Figure 5 As shown, the statistical parameters of the target well area fracturing well are input, including rock elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, rock body tensile strength, rock body shear strength, prefabricated fracture surface tensile strength, ground stress, injection displacement, fracturing fluid viscosity, initial permeability, initial porosity, and a three-dimensional fully coupled fracturing model is established.
[0138] Table 1 Parameters of fracturing wells in target well area
[0139]
[0140]
[0141] The Abaqus implicit solver is used to solve the three-dimensional fully coupled fracturing model. Figure 6 As shown, cracks started to occur at the weak surface between the layers, and an "I-shaped crack" was clearly formed. The predicted half-crack length was 44m and the crack height was 10m.
[0142] Step S5, simulating the influence of different geological factors and engineering factors on the fracture morphology.
[0143] (1) By changing the geological factors and the tensile strength of the shale-sandstone interface, the crack extension was simulated under tensile strengths of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 MPa. The results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown:
[0144] The simulation results show that the smaller the tensile strength of the layer interface, the easier it is for the layer interface to break, and the easier it is for the crack to extend along the layer interface. When the tensile strength of the layer interface exceeds 2MPa, the layer interface will break in a small range, and the crack height will easily penetrate the layer interface.
[0145] (2) Changing the engineering factors and construction displacement, the construction displacements of 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 m were simulated respectively. 3 / min crack expansion, the results are as follows Figure 8 As shown:
[0146] The simulation results show that as the construction displacement increases, the cracks continue to communicate with the weak surfaces between layers and the crack height increases; when the displacement increases by 1 times, the crack height increases by 25%. The displacement has a certain impact on the crack height.
[0147] (3) By changing the engineering factors and the viscosity of the fracturing fluid, the crack propagation was simulated under the conditions of fracturing fluid viscosity of 1, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 150 mPa.s. The results are shown in Figure 2. Fig. 9 shown.
[0148] The simulation results show that as the viscosity increases, the fracture height increases. If the viscosity is too high, the fracture height will break through the layer interface and the layer interface will rupture. The viscosity of the fracturing fluid has a great influence on the fracture morphology.
