Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydraulic fracturing, and particularly to a perforated wellbore, a combined wellbore, a hole erosion simulation device and a simulation method. Background Art
[0002] "Multi-stage and multi-cluster" fracturing of horizontal wells is an important stimulation measure for unconventional oil and gas development. During the hydraulic fracturing process, a large amount of proppant-carrying fluid is injected into the formation through the wellbore and perforation holes by a fracturing truck fleet to form fracture support fractures. When the proppant-carrying fluid flows through the wellbore to the perforation holes, the flow direction of the proppant-carrying fluid changes by 90°. At the same time, the diameter of the perforation holes is much smaller than that of the wellbore, resulting in a significant increase in the fluid flow velocity after the proppant-carrying fluid enters the perforation holes. Due to the change in the flow direction and the increase in the flow velocity, the erosion effect of the proppant in the proppant-carrying fluid on the perforation holes is greatly increased. During the "multi-stage and multi-cluster" fracturing of horizontal wells, the erosion effect of the perforation holes has an important impact on the shape and inner diameter of the perforation holes. At the same time, the change in the inner diameter of the perforations also has an important impact on the friction resistance of the perforation holes, the fluid flow velocity, and the flow diversion between perforation clusters.
[0003] Existing experimental simulation devices have conducted a large number of studies on the erosion effect of hydraulic jetting on holes, and have studied the erosion effect of different variables of hydraulic jetting on perforation holes through laboratory experiments and numerical simulations. Different variables of hydraulic jetting include jet velocity, nozzle diameter, abrasive, jet pressure, etc.
[0004] However, in the field of research on perforation hole erosion during the fracturing transformation process, the existing technology mainly focuses on numerical simulation. There is no experimental simulation device and simulation method for the erosion phenomenon of wellbore perforation holes during the hydraulic fracturing process in the existing technology. Therefore, the existing technology cannot study the erosion effect of solid proppant particles in the proppant-carrying fluid on the wellbore perforation holes through experimental simulation during the hydraulic fracturing transformation process, nor can it specifically study the influence of the number of perforation clusters, cluster spacing, number of holes, hole diameter, construction parameters, etc. on the hole erosion effect through experimental simulation, resulting in a lack of theoretical support for fracturing scheme design and fracturing construction analysis.

[0081] In one embodiment, as Figure 7As shown in the figure, the simulation device further includes: a stirring and pumping system, which is used to configure fracturing fluid, stir the fracturing fluid and proppant to form a sand-carrying fluid, and pump the evenly configured fracturing fluid or sand-carrying fluid into the combined wellbore; a reflux collection system, which is used for the reflux of liquid and the collection of proppant, and its first end is communicated with the perforating pipe connection pipeline 18 on the combined wellbore; its second end is communicated with the stirring device 35 in the stirring and pumping system, and a control system, which is used to control the operation of the simulation device and record simulation data.
[0082] The stirring and pumping system is used to obtain water, additives and proppant from the outside, configure fracturing fluid with water and additives, and can form a sand-carrying fluid by stirring the fracturing fluid and proppant, and transport the fracturing fluid or sand-carrying fluid to the inlet end of the combined wellbore.
[0083] The sand-carrying fluid enters the combined wellbore from the inlet end of the combined wellbore. When studying the influence of a small amount of proppant on the abrasion of the perforation hole 2, it is necessary to use the reflux collection system to collect the proppant in the sand-carrying fluid and reflux the fracturing fluid to the stirring device 35 in the stirring and pumping system.
[0084] When studying the influence of a large amount of proppant on the abrasion of the perforation hole 2, it is necessary to use the reflux collection system to reflux the sand-carrying fluid to the stirring device 35 in the stirring and pumping system to reuse the sand-carrying fluid.

[0087] In one embodiment, as Figure 7As shown, the stirring and pumping system includes: a water source 33, which is used to provide the simulation device with water required for simulation; an automatic proppant adding device 34, which is used to provide proppant to the simulation device; a stirring device 35, which is connected to the water source 33 and the automatic proppant adding device 34, and is used to configure the fracturing fluid and stir the fracturing fluid and the proppant to form a sand-carrying fluid; a large-displacement liquid injection pump 38, which is used to pump the fracturing fluid or the sand-carrying fluid and control the flow of the liquid entering the combined wellbore; a flow meter 39, which is located between the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38 and the inlet of the combined wellbore; and a pressure gauge 40, which is also located between the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38 and the inlet of the combined wellbore.
[0088] The water source 33 is used to provide water to the simulation device. A faucet or a control valve 58 is installed on the water source 33, and the water source 33 can supply water in real time. The stirring device 35 is connected to a large-displacement liquid injection pump 38, and a ball seat valve 37 is installed on the connecting pipeline 41. Before and after the experiment, the ball seat valve 37 is in a closed state. The stirring device 35 is provided with a liquid discharge outlet valve 36. When the liquid is excessive, the excess liquid can be discharged through the liquid discharge outlet valve 36. The flow meter 39 and the pressure gauge 40 are respectively used to measure the flow rate and pressure of the fracturing fluid or sand-carrying fluid entering the combined wellbore.
[0089] The configuration of fracturing fluid and the preparation of proppant include the following steps. First, the fracturing fluid is configured according to the fracturing performance requirements in the experimental scheme. By estimating the amount of fluid in the main devices and pipelines of the experimental system, the amount of fracturing fluid configuration additives is calculated according to the fluid volume and the performance parameters of the fracturing fluid in the experimental scheme, and the additives required for the experiment are weighed. After the additives are weighed, a large-capacity beaker is used to dissolve and configure the additives. After the additives are dissolved and configured, the stirring motor of the stirring device 35 is turned on, and the configured high-concentration additive liquid is added to the tank body of the stirring device 35, and stirred by the stirring motor. After stirring for 5 to 10 minutes, the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38 is turned on to circulate the fracturing fluid, and the fracturing fluid in other components and pipelines is circulated. After circulating for 10 to 15 minutes, a small amount of fracturing fluid is taken from the stirring device 35 and the viscosity is measured using a six-speed viscometer. If the performance parameters of the fracturing fluid are lower than the scheme values, the aforementioned method is continued to be used to add relevant additives until the performance of the fracturing fluid meets the scheme requirements. If the performance parameters of the fracturing fluid are higher than the performance parameters designed in the scheme, the discharge outlet valve 36 at the bottom of the stirring device 35 is opened to discharge part of the fracturing fluid as needed, and then the water source 33 is opened to continue adding part of the clean water into the stirring device 35 to configure the required fracturing fluid. After the fracturing fluid is configured, the proppant required for the experiment is added to the proppant adding device to prepare for the addition of the proppant during the experiment.

It is used to collect the proppant passing through the perforation holes 2 for subsequent weighing, so as to prepare for quantitative analysis.
[0093] The sand-carrying fluid flowing through the reflux collection system will enter the pipeline connector 62 and then flow to the mixing device 35 together for circulation. When simulating the abrasion effect of a small amount of proppant on the perforation holes 2, the proppant is collected by the collection device 52, and the liquid part in the sand-carrying fluid flows back to the mixing device 35 through the pipeline connector 62. When simulating the abrasion effect of a large amount of proppant on the perforation holes 2, all the sand-carrying fluid flows back to the mixing device 35 through the pipeline connector 62.

A valve is provided between the tee 59 and the collection device 52. A control valve 58 is provided between the collection device 52 and the pipeline connector 62.
[0097] When simulating the abrasion effect of a small amount of proppant on the internal liner 13 installed at the perforation hole 2, the inlet pipeline 53 is connected, the valve between the tee 59 and the collection device 52 is closed, and the control valve 58 is opened. When simulating the abrasion effect of a large amount of proppant on the perforation hole 2, the inlet pipeline 53 is closed, the valve between the tee 59 and the collection device 52 is opened, and the control valve 58 is closed. Through the above settings, it can be ensured that the collection device 52 can collect proppant when simulating the abrasion effect of a small amount of proppant on the internal liner 13 installed at the perforation hole 2, and when simulating the abrasion effect of a large amount of proppant on the internal liner 13 installed at the perforation hole 2, the proppant can bypass the collection device 52 and directly enter the pipeline connector 62 for circulating flow.

[0101] The flowmeter 39 and the pressure gauge 40 of this embodiment are respectively used to measure the flow rate and pressure of the sand-carrying fluid flowing from the perforation wellbore 1 into the tee 59, so as to facilitate the real-time regulation of the simulation device by the control system.
[0102] In one embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, the outlet end of the combined wellbore is communicated with the pipeline connector 62.
[0103] This embodiment ensures the safety of the combined wellbore during the simulation and the cleaning of the combined wellbore after the simulation by communicating the outlet end of the combined wellbore with the pipeline connector 62.

[0108] The controller 68 is communicatively connected to each component through the control wire 65 to control each component. Each flowmeter 39 and pressure gauge 40 are connected to the controller 68 through the transmission line 50.
[0109] This embodiment is conducive to the controller 68 controlling each component and collecting analog data in real time.
[0110] This embodiment also provides an analog method using the above-mentioned perforation abrasion analog device. The analog method includes the following steps: setting liquid parameters, proppant parameters, and combined wellbore parameters; the mixing and pumping system pumps the sand-carrying fluid into the combined wellbore through the inlet end of the combined wellbore. The sand-carrying fluid is the stirred fracturing fluid and proppant; part of the sand-carrying fluid flows through the inner liner 13 of the perforated wellbore 1 to reach the pipeline connector 62 and then circulates back to the stirring device 35; changing the liquid parameters, proppant parameters, and combined wellbore parameters and repeating the simulation.
[0111] Set the liquid parameters, proppant parameters, and combined wellbore parameters. The setting of the liquid parameters, proppant parameters, and combined wellbore parameters can be achieved by adjusting the water source 33, the proppant automatic adding device 34, the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38, and the configuration of the combined wellbore.
[0112] The mixing and pumping device transports the sand-carrying fluid to the combined wellbore for simulation. The combined wellbore includes a perforated wellbore 1, and the perforated wellbore 1 is configured with a detachable inner liner 13. By studying the net weight change of the inner liner 13 and taking pictures of each inner liner 13 after the simulation to study its shape change, the abrasion effect of the proppant on the perforation holes 2 can be studied.
[0113] The analog method of this embodiment can provide a feasible analog method for studying the abrasion effect of the proppant on the inner liner 13 installed at the perforation holes 2.
[0114] In one embodiment, the steps for part of the proppant-carrying fluid to flow through the inner liner 13 of the perforated wellbore 1 to reach the pipeline connector 62 and then circulate back to the mixing device 35 are as follows: The proppant-carrying fluid leaving the inner liner 13 enters the collection device 52, the collection device 52 collects the proppant, and the liquid in the proppant-carrying fluid circulates back to the mixing device 35 through the pipeline connector 62 to circulate the liquid.
[0115] When simulating the erosion effect of a small amount of proppant on the perforation holes 2 in this embodiment, the collection device 52 can collect the proppant for subsequent weighing, so as to prepare for quantitative analysis.

[0120] This embodiment is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the simulation results.
[0121] Example 1
[0122] First, prepare a combined wellbore, and splice a perforated wellbore 1 and a non-perforated wellbore 7 of a certain specification in a certain way. The combined wellbore can be a single-segment multi-cluster perforated wellbore or a single-segment single-cluster perforated wellbore. The number of perforation clusters, the perforation cluster spacing, the number of perforation holes 2, the size of the perforation holes 2, etc. can all be selected according to needs.
[0123] The new inner liner 13 is detachably installed into the perforation holes 2 of the perforated wellbore 1. Preferably, the installation method can be threaded connection 14 to facilitate the replacement of the inner liner 13 after each simulation.
[0124] The assembly of the simulation device includes the following steps.
[0125] Installation of the fluid flow pipeline.
[0126] First, connect the stirring device 35 to the water source 33. A faucet or control valve 58 is installed on the water source 33, and the water source 33 can supply water in real time.
[0127] Next, connect the stirring device 35 and the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38. A ball seat valve 37 is installed on the pipeline. Before and after the simulation, the ball seat valve 37 is in the closed state.
[0128] Then, connect the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38 and the combined wellbore. One end of the connecting pipeline 41 is connected to the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38, and the other end of the connecting pipeline 41 is flange-connected to the combined wellbore front-end connecting flange 26 of the combined wellbore. A flow meter 39 and a pressure gauge 40 are provided on the connecting pipeline 41 connecting the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38 and the combined wellbore, for monitoring the flow rate and pressure of the sand-carrying fluid entering the combined wellbore.
[0129] Then, the combined wellbore rear-end connecting flange 27 at the tail end of the combined wellbore is communicated with the pipeline connector 62 through the connecting pipeline 41. A ball seat valve 37 is installed on the connecting pipeline 41 between the combined wellbore rear-end connecting flange 27 and the pipeline connector 62. During the normal simulation process, the ball seat valve 37 is in the closed state. During the special simulation process or when the combined wellbore needs to be cleaned, the ball seat valve 37 is opened.
[0130] Then, use the connecting pipeline 41 to connect the perforating pipe 11 and the collection device 52, and then connect each device between the collection device 52 and the pipeline connector 62. A control valve 58 is installed on the inlet pipeline 53 of the collection device 52. A tee 59 is provided at one end of the control valve 58 close to the perforating pipe 11. The tee 59 is respectively communicated with the perforating pipe 11, the collection device 52 and the pipeline connector 62. Ball seat valves 37, flow meters 39 and pressure gauges 40 are provided on the pipeline between the perforating pipe 11 and the collection device 52. The collection device 52 is connected to the pipeline, and a ball seat valve 37 is installed on the pipeline. A ball seat type control valve 58 is installed on the pipeline between the collection device 52 and the pipeline connector 62.
[0131] Installation of the control system.
[0132] First, use the control wire 65 to connect the proppant automatic adding device 34 and the controller 68. The control wire 65 is connected to the motor of the proppant automatic adding device 34 to control the rotation speed of the motor, so as to control the addition amount of the proppant per unit time.
[0133] Next, connect the controller 68 and the stirring device 35 with the control wire 65. The control wire 65 is connected to the stirring motor of the stirring device 35 to control the rotation speed of the stirring motor, so as to stir different liquids and proppants to make them mix evenly.
[0134] Then, connect the controller 68 and the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38 with the control wire 65, and adjust the injection displacement of the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38 by adjusting the current frequency.
[0135] Then, connect the controller 68 and each flowmeter 39 and pressure gauge 40 with the transmission line 50. The controller 68 converts the signals of each flowmeter 39 and pressure gauge 40 and transmits them to the recording computer 72.
[0136] Then, connect the controller 68 and the recording computer 72.
[0137] Finally, connect the controller 68 and the main power supply 69 with the high-power line 70, so that the main power supply 69 supplies power to the controller 68 and related components.
[0138] After the assembly is completed, the sealing performance of the simulation device needs to be tested, and the sealing test steps are as follows.
[0139] First, adjust each valve. Open the valve between the pipeline connector 62 and the stirring device 35, close the drain outlet valve 36 at the bottom of the stirring device 35, close the valve at the cleaning liquid drain outlet 54, and open each valve on the pipeline loop to form a circulation loop for the fluid in the simulation device. Among them, each valve on the pipeline loop includes the ball seat valve 37 on the pipeline between the stirring device 35 and the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38, the ball seat valve 37 between each perforation pipe 11 and the collection device 52, the control valve 58 between the collection device 52 and the pipeline connector 62, the ball seat valve 37 between the end of the combined wellbore and the pipeline connector 62, etc.
[0140] Next, inject clean water into the simulation device. Open the switch or valve of the water source 33, and inject water into the stirring device 35 through the water source 33. The clean water flows along the pipeline into components such as the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38, the combined wellbore, and the collection device 52. When each main component is filled with water, close the water source 33, and no more clean water is injected into the simulation system.
[0141] During the water injection process, observe the sealing condition of the pipeline in real time and check whether the pipeline leaks.
[0142] In order to further test the sealing performance of the simulation device, start the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38 through the controller 68, and use the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38 to conduct a sealing test under high displacement. During the test, gradually increase the displacement to the design value and observe the sealing performance of the experimental system loop.
[0143] After the sealing performance test is completed, pre-simulation preparations need to be carried out. The main pre-simulation preparation work is the preparation of fracturing fluid and proppant.
[0144] First, configure the liquid according to the liquid performance requirements in the experimental plan. By estimating the fluid volume in the main devices and pipelines of the experimental system and based on the fluid volume and the liquid performance parameters in the experimental plan, calculate the amount of additives for liquid configuration, and weigh the additives required for the experiment. After the additives are weighed, use a large-capacity beaker to dissolve and configure the additives. After the liquid is completely dissolved and configured, turn on the stirring motor of the stirring device 35, add the configured high-concentration additive liquid to the tank body of the stirring device 35, and use the stirring motor to stir. After stirring for 5 to 10 minutes, turn on the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38 to circulate the liquid, circulate the liquid in other components and pipelines, and after circulating for 10 to 15 minutes, take a small amount of liquid from the stirring device 35 and measure the viscosity using a six-speed viscometer. If the liquid performance parameters are lower than the planned values, continue to add relevant additives using the aforementioned method until the liquid performance meets the plan requirements. If the liquid performance parameters are higher than the performance parameters designed in the plan, open the drain outlet valve 36 at the lower part of the stirring device 35, drain part of the liquid as needed, then open the water source 33, and continue to add some clear water into the stirring device 35 to configure the required liquid. After the liquid configuration is completed, add the proppant required for the experiment to the proppant addition device for use during the experiment.
[0145] Simulation test.
[0146] According to the simulation experiment plan, study the influence of proppant on the abrasion of the inner liner 13 installed at the perforation hole 2. Adjust each valve to adjust the experimental displacement of the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38 to the flow value designed in the simulation plan, and adjust the flow values of all perforation pipes 11. Keep the flow stable for 5 to 10 minutes.
[0147] After the flow of each pipeline is stable, according to the simulation experiment plan, add proppant to the stirring device 35 through the proppant addition device. The proppant is mixed with the liquid in the stirring device 35 and injected into the combined wellbore through the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38, and the sand-carrying fluid abrades the inner surface of the inner liner 13 through the perforation pipe 11.
[0148] Observation of simulation results is the key step of this simulation. According to the simulation plan, after the injection volumes of the liquid and proppant reach the designed amounts, first, through the controller 68, turn off the proppant automatic addition device 34, the large-displacement liquid injection pump 38, and the stirring device 35, and at the same time close each ball seat valve 37 to close the fluid pipeline loop in the simulation device.
[0149] After discharging the sand-carrying fluid or fracturing fluid in the combined wellbore, disassemble all the pipelines connected to the perforating pipe 11, and take out the inner liner 13 inside the perforating pipe 11. Observe the shape change of the inner liner 13, and at the same time take pictures of the inner liner 13 using a camera; and weigh the net weight of each inner liner 13 before and after the simulation, so as to study the abrasion effect of the proppant on the perforation holes 2.
[0150] For the analysis of the simulation results, it is necessary to confirm its group, namely parameters such as the simulation environment and position, according to the experimental simulation serial number of each inner liner 13, and then analyze the abrasion results of the perforation holes 2 based on the shape and weight change rules of the inner liner 13 to clarify the abrasion change rules of the perforation holes 2.
[0151] Example Two
[0152] On the basis of Example One, this example mainly simulates the abrasion of a small amount of proppant on the perforation holes 2. It mainly uses the collection device 52 to collect the proppant flowing through the perforating pipe 11 for subsequent weighing, so as to prepare for quantitative analysis.
[0153] To achieve the above simulation goal, it is necessary to open the inlet pipelines 53 of all the collection devices 52 and close the ball seat valve 37 behind the tee 59. The sand-carrying fluid enters the collection device 52 through the perforating pipe 11 and the perforating pipe connection pipeline 18. The proppant in the sand-carrying fluid is collected by the collection device 52, and the liquid in the sand-carrying fluid flows into the pipeline connector 62.
[0154] This example is used to simulate the abrasion of a small amount of proppant on the inner liner 13 installed at the perforation holes 2.
[0155] Example Three
[0156] On the basis of Example One, this example mainly simulates the abrasion of a large amount of proppant on the inner liner 13 installed at the perforation holes 2.
[0157] To achieve the above simulation goal, it is necessary to close the inlet pipelines 53 of all the collection devices 52 and open the ball seat valve 37 behind the tee 59. The sand-carrying fluid bypasses the collection device 52 through the perforating pipe 11 and the perforating pipe connection pipeline 18 and directly flows into the pipeline connector 62.
[0158] This example is used to simulate the abrasion of a large amount of proppant on the perforation holes 2.
