Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field production increase, and in particular to a method for calculating formation fracture pressure of inclined wells with different well completion modes. Background Art

[0002] (Acid) fracturing technology is a production-increasing measure widely used in oil and gas field reservoir transformation. The initiation and expansion of cracks during (acid) fracturing are very important to the production-increasing effect, and the prediction results of the formation breakdown pressure directly affect the design of the (acid) fracturing program. At present, due to the complex ground conditions, inclined well types are developing rapidly at home and abroad. Different from the calculation of vertical well breakdown pressure, the inclination angle and azimuth of the inclined well will affect the calculation of formation breakdown pressure. In addition, the completion method will also affect the prediction results of the breakdown pressure. Open hole completion does not require casing and cementing. It is generally used for reservoirs with higher production capacity, mostly offshore oil and gas fields, while perforation completion requires casing and cementing. The perforator shoots through the oil and gas well pipe wall, cement ring and part of the formation, which will obviously reduce the formation breakdown pressure.

[0003] There are many methods for calculating the bursting pressure that are currently disclosed, but they are single in purpose. There are methods for calculating the bursting pressure of directional wells with open hole completion, such as patent CN201711130402.3; there are methods for calculating the bursting pressure of vertical wells with open hole completion, such as patent CN202010126768.9; there are methods for calculating the bursting pressure of deviated wells with casing perforation completion, such as patent CN201811062388.2. However, the existing patents can only be used to calculate some special completion methods and well types, and do not include all special completion methods and well types, and are not universally applicable, such as vertical wells, deviated wells, and horizontal wells with open hole completion, and vertical wells, deviated wells, and horizontal wells with casing perforation completion. Therefore, taking into account factors such as open hole completion, casing perforation completion, vertical wells, deviated wells, and horizontal wells, a method for calculating the formation bursting pressure that is universally applicable and simple to calculate is established, that is, a method for calculating the formation bursting pressure of deviated wells with different completion methods.
