Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of acid fracturing stimulation of carbonate reservoirs, specifically to a method, equipment, and medium for calculating construction parameters of sand-added acid fracturing stimulation. Background Technology
[0002] Acid fracturing with proppant is one of the most effective methods for enhancing production and efficiency in carbonate reservoirs. Its purpose is to create an artificial fracture with a combined effect of proppant-supported flow and acid dissolution flow. The pre-fracturing fluid, while fracturing the reservoir and creating an artificial fracture, carries proppant as a "bridge" to prevent compaction by the net reservoir pressure, providing a certain degree of proppant-supported flow capacity. It also reduces reservoir temperature and the reaction rate of subsequent acid, increasing the effective reach of the acid. The subsequent acid, within the created artificial fracture, undergoes non-uniform dissolution with the carbonate minerals on the fracture wall. The dissolved fracture wall forms pits and continuous grooves, further enhancing the conductivity of the artificial fracture. This combined effect of proppant-supported flow and acid dissolution flow significantly increases the long-term stable conductivity of the artificial fracture, improving the effectiveness of single-well acid fracturing. Therefore, accurately calculating and designing the pre-fracturing fluid, proppant, and acid parameters for acid fracturing is crucial for enhancing the fracturing effect.
[0003] Currently, the optimization methods for pre-fracturing fluid and proppant quantity in sand-added acid fracturing mainly draw on the principles of hydraulic fracturing, relying primarily on empirical methods, average proppant concentration, and proppant index methods for calculation. These methods fail to fully consider the production requirements of individual wells, reservoir characteristics, and proppant performance parameters within the overall development plan, leading to increased fracturing fluid and proppant quantities and reduced economic efficiency. Furthermore, acid optimization often considers the acid-rock reaction alone, neglecting the impact of heat conduction on the reaction rate. This results in inaccurate estimates of the effective acid action distance, leading to increased acid volume and failing to properly guide the design and optimization of sand-added acid fracturing processes. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the calculation of parameters for sand-added acid fracturing does not fully consider the production requirements of a single well, reservoir characteristics, and proppant performance parameters in the development plan. This results in large amounts of fracturing fluid and sand used, leading to low economic efficiency. The purpose is to provide a method, equipment, and medium for calculating the construction parameters of sand-added acid fracturing. This method comprehensively optimizes the amount of fracturing fluid and proppant used by combining production requirements, reservoir characteristics, and proppant performance parameters. Based on the target artificial fracture length and target conductivity, the volume of fracturing fluid and proppant is determined. Coupled calculations of concentration field, velocity field, and temperature field are performed to construct an acid fracture model. This determines the actual permeability formed by acid dissolution and the acid volume required for sand-added acid fracturing, providing a basis for the design and optimization of acid fracturing processes in carbonate reservoirs.

Taking a calculation of 60 minutes as an example, the concentration distribution and flow rate distribution of the acid at this time are calculated as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown.
[0148] Step S5: Based on the principle that 60% of the permeability is provided by acid dissolution, the target acid dissolution permeability K is calculated using formula (19). sand =21.5μm 2 .

Through steps S4 and S5 (second and third steps), calculate the actual permeability formed by acid dissolution after acid injection at this moment. If K... r-acid <K acidOrdered to recalculate steps S4 and S5 (steps 2 and 3) after t = t + 60; when t = 2520s, the width of the etched crack after acid injection is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the actual permeability K formed by acid dissolution r-acid =25.8μm 2 Greater than the target acid solution erosion permeability K sand =21.5μm 2 Using formula (20), the volume of proppant required for sand-addition acid fracturing modification is calculated to be 210 m³. 3 .
