Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of coalbed methane horizontal well reservoir transformation, and relates to a calculation model and an acquisition method for the wellbore fracture pressure of a horizontal section of a coalbed horizontal well. Background Art

[0002] Formation fracture pressure is an important parameter for reasonably determining the wellbore structure, safe drilling and fracturing construction design of coalbed methane wells. There are two ways to obtain this parameter. One is indoor rock mechanics experimental testing or on-site hydraulic fracturing construction monitoring, and the other is to use theoretical classical models to calculate. At present, the quantitative calculation formulas of formation breakdown pressure at home and abroad mainly include: Hubbert-Willis formula, Eaton formula, Anderson formula, Stephn formula, Terzaghi formula, Haimson-Fairhurst formula, Huang Rongzun formula, Wei formula, Li Chuanliang formula, R. Douglas formula and Deng Jingen formula. These calculation models of breakdown pressure are derived based on the vertical wellbore structure, without considering the influence of well inclination, azimuth and well angle on breakdown pressure. Compared with vertical wells, horizontal wells have larger well inclination. With the change of well inclination, azimuth and well angle, the complexity of well wall stress increases. The vertical well breakdown pressure prediction model is used to calculate the horizontal section of coalbed methane horizontal well wall breakdown pressure, which has low accuracy, resulting in low matching degree of on-site drilling mud performance, frequent problems such as wellbore shrinkage, wellbore collapse, leakage and poor fracturing effect. These phenomena indicate that the fracture initiation mechanism of horizontal section of horizontal well is significantly different from that of vertical well. With the continuous development of coalbed methane development, the mining area has gradually expanded to the soft and complex structural area, the coal seam and coal body structure is complex, and the horizontal well wall safety and fracturing transformation issues are prominent. Therefore, it is of great significance to conduct research on the well wall fracture mechanism of coalbed methane horizontal wells and establish a multi-factor controlled horizontal well wall fracture pressure prediction model for coalbed methane horizontal wells, which is of great significance for guiding the drilling and completion engineering of coalbed methane horizontal wells and the optimization design of hydraulic fracturing. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the problem of low prediction accuracy of wellbore rupture pressure of horizontal section of horizontal well in coal seam, the present invention provides a wellbore rupture pressure prediction model of horizontal section of horizontal well in coal seam. The method analyzes the wellbore stress field of horizontal well and combines the maximum tensile stress theory to establish a wellbore rupture pressure prediction model of horizontal section of horizontal well in coal seam. The model is constrained by vertical principal stress of formation, maximum horizontal principal stress, minimum horizontal principal stress, formation pressure, rock tensile strength, rock Poisson's ratio, formation effective stress coefficient, horizontal wellbore orientation and well circumference angle. The present invention takes into account the influence of well inclination, wellbore orientation and well circumference angle of horizontal well in coal seam on wellbore rupture pressure, so that the prediction model of wellbore rupture pressure of horizontal section of horizontal well in coal seam is more reasonable.

[0098] The method for obtaining the wellbore fracture pressure of the horizontal section of a coal seam horizontal well includes:

[0099] Step 1, establishing a calculation model for the wellbore rupture pressure of a horizontal section of a coal seam horizontal well, wherein the calculation model for the wellbore rupture pressure of a horizontal section of a coal seam horizontal well is the calculation model for the wellbore rupture pressure of a horizontal section of a coal seam horizontal well of the present invention;

[0102] Step 4, calculating the wellbore rupture pressure of the horizontal section of the coal seam horizontal well by the wellbore rupture pressure calculation model of the horizontal section of the coal seam horizontal well in step 1.

[0103] The derivation process of the wellbore fracture pressure model for the horizontal section of a coal seam horizontal well is as follows:

[0104] Under the basic assumptions of cylindrical coordinate system and linear elastic mechanics, Fairhurst derived the stress distribution around the borehole of any coalbed methane well trajectory. Figure 1 and formula (1). In this paper, coalbed methane wells include vertical wells, directional wells and horizontal wells. Horizontal wells refer to special wells with a maximum well inclination of about 90° and a certain length of horizontal well section maintained in the target layer.

[0105]

[0106] Where: r is the wellbore radial stress, MPa; σ θ is the wellbore tangential stress, MPa; σ z is the wellbore axial stress, MPa; τ rθ is the shear stress on the r and θ planes, MPa; τ θz is the shear stress on the z and θ planes, MPa; τ rz are the shear stresses on the r and z planes, MPa; r w is the well radius, m; Pwf is the fluid column pressure in the wellbore, MPa; r is the radial distance, m; ν is the Poisson's ratio of the rock, dimensionless; They are the original stress components after the original coordinate transformation, MPa; the transformed coordinate system is as follows Figure 1 As shown, γ is the well inclination angle, °; β is the well inclination azimuth of the coalbed methane well, °; θ is the well circumference angle of the coalbed methane well, °;

[0107] The transformed in-situ stress component and the in-situ stress σ H , σ h , σ v The relationship between them is shown in formula (2):

[0108]

[0109] When r = r w When , the wellbore stress expression is formula (3):

[0110]

[0111] The effective stress of the three principal stresses at any point on the wellbore of a coalbed methane well is shown in formula (4):

[0112]

[0113] Since the horizontal section of the coal seam horizontal well has a well inclination angle of 90°, when the well inclination angle γ is 90°, σ θ , σ z , τ θz as follows:

[0114] σ θ =σ v (1-2cos2θ)+σ H (sin 2 β+2sin 2 βcos2θ)+σ h (cos 2 β+2cos 2 βcos2θ)-P wf (5);

[0115] σ z =σ H (cos z β+2νsin 2 βcos2θ)+σ h (sin 2 β+2νcos 2 βcos2θ)-2νcos2θσ v (6);

[0116] τ θz=2cosθsinβcos 2 βσ h -2cosθsinβcos 2 βσ H (7);

[0117] In the formula, let A=1-2cos2θ-2νcos2θ; B=sin 2 β+2sin 2 βcos2θ+cos 2 β+2νsin 2 βcos2θ; C=cos 2 β+2cos 2 βcos2θ+sin 2 β+2νcos 2 βcos2θ; D=1-2cos2θ+2νcos2θ; E=sin 2 β+2sin 2 βcos2θ-cos 2 β-2νsin 2 βcos2θ; F=cos 2 β+2cos 2 βcos2θ-sin 2 β-2νcos 2 βcos2θ; G = 2sinβcos 2 β.

[0118] Since the bedding in the coal rock fracturing sample is basically along the ground stress direction, the possibility of shear fracture along the bedding is small. Therefore, the wellbore fracture of coalbed methane horizontal wells is mainly controlled by the maximum tensile stress around the well. For the horizontal section of the coal seam horizontal well, the wellbore fracture pressure (P f ) is defined as the limit pressure of the wellbore fluid column pressure at which the horizontal section of the horizontal wellbore wall does not experience tensile fracture, and the critical state of the maximum tensile stress criterion is expressed by formula (8):

[0119] σ 3min =-S t (8);

[0120] Where: 3min is the maximum tensile stress of the rock on the wellbore wall in the horizontal section of the coal seam horizontal well, MPa; S t It is the tensile strength of the rock on the wall of the horizontal section of a horizontal well in a coal seam, MPa.

[0121] According to the maximum tensile stress criterion, the key to solving the fracture pressure of the horizontal section of the coal seam horizontal well is to determine the maximum tensile stress among the three principal stresses of the horizontal section of the well wall. Rock mechanics generally stipulates that compressive stress is positive, tensile stress is negative, and σ 11 , σ 22 , σ33 is the effective principal stress at any point on the horizontal section of the horizontal wellbore. When the effective principal stress at a point on the horizontal section of the horizontal wellbore is negative, the rock is in a tensile stress state. When the effective principal stress on the horizontal section of the horizontal wellbore is positive, the rock is in a compressive stress state. Since most of the coal seams in my country belong to low-pressure reservoirs or normal-pressure reservoirs, the formation pressure gradient is less than 10kPa / m, and the water column pressure gradient is 10kPa / m. Coalbed methane horizontal well drilling uses water-based drilling fluid, and the drilling fluid column pressure gradient is greater than 10kPa / m. Therefore, the drilling fluid column pressure is greater than the coal seam formation pressure, and 0<α 煤系 <1, we get σ 11 =P wf -α 煤系 P p >0,σ 11 The stress state in the coal seam is compressive stress. Analyzing formula (4), it is found that the three effective principal stresses (σ 11 , σ 22 and σ 33 ) between 22 -σ 33 >0, assuming σ 22 and σ 33 is a negative value, both belong to tensile stress, then σ 3min =σ 33 Assume σ 22 is a positive value, which belongs to compressive stress, σ 33 is a negative value, which is tensile stress, then σ 3min =σ 33 Comprehensive analysis shows that 3min =σ 33 , using σ 33 =-S t Prediction of wellbore fracture pressure in horizontal section of coal seam horizontal well:
