TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of unconventional energy hydraulic fracturing mining, and particularly relates to a water pressure fracturing and proppant migration test method under the condition of water injection hole filtration. BACKGROUND
[0002] The porosity of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs in China is low, the permeability is poor, and the mining difficulty is relatively large, which seriously restricts the development of unconventional oil and gas resources in China. As an important means to improve the development of unconventional oil and gas resources in China, the hydraulic fracturing technology is an important means to improve the development of unconventional oil and gas resources in China. Due to the continuous injection of subsequent fracturing fluid, the fracture will expand into the reservoir, forming a certain length, height and width geometry. In order to keep the fracture in an open state, the sand-carrying fluid with proppant (mainly quartz sand) is then injected into the wellbore to prevent the fracture from closing again. At this time, one or more fracture channels with high conductivity are formed in the reservoir, so that the internal fluid can continuously seep from the fracture to the wellbore, thereby completing the development of unconventional oil and gas resources. However, since the formation is mostly fractured rock mass, part of the liquid flows in the formation fracture under the action of pressure difference, and the liquid is filtered into the rock wall, resulting in the loss of injection rate and injection pressure of the target reservoir. In the prior art, the research on this aspect is mostly to simply measure the filtration performance of the fracturing fluid by using the conventional similar Darcy seepage test, and the fracturing fluid filtration and sand-carrying fracturing cannot be effectively combined together.

[0031] The present application will be further described below by examples and in conjunction with the drawings:
[0032] As Figures 1-10As shown, a variable fracturing fluid density-controlled proppant directional movement test device mainly consists of an injection component A, a fracture component B, and a fixing component C. The injection component A is used to inject liquid containing proppant into the fracture component B. The injection component A is provided with a filtration fracture to allow the fracturing fluid to be filtered out before being injected into the fracture component. The filtration fracture opening is changed by filtration structures set on both sides of the filtration fracture. The fracture component B is used to simulate the reaction of rock mass with fractures after liquid injection. The fixing component C is used to support and fix the fracture component and apply load.
[0033] This device is equipped with a filtration structure, enabling it to simulate filtration during fluid injection, thereby mimicking filtration through injection holes in hydraulic fracturing. Simultaneously, the device can apply normal loads to the upper fracture plate and tangential loads to the lower fracture plate. This causes the upper and lower fracture plates to move during fracturing fluid seepage, resulting in changes in the stress on the plates. Therefore, this application not only simulates the initial stress field during seepage but also the stress changes during the seepage process, allowing for a realistic simulation of proppant-supported fracturing fluid seeping through fractures.
[0034] The specific structure of fracture assembly B includes an upper fracture plate 1 and a lower fracture plate 2 arranged opposite each other. Both the upper fracture plate 1 and the lower fracture plate 2 have notches for fracturing fluid injection extending forward and backward at their left ends. The upper fracture plate 1 can move up and down and is loaded with a normal load from the fixed assembly. The lower fracture plate 2 can move left and right and is loaded with a tangential load from the fixed assembly.
[0035] The specific structure of the fixing component C includes a lower bearing plate 3 disposed below the lower split plate 2, and an upper bearing plate 4 disposed above the lower bearing plate 3 by support bolts 5, with the upper bearing plate 4 located above the upper split plate 1. To achieve the loading of normal loads on the upper split plate, a number of normal load springs 6 are disposed between the upper bearing plate 4 and the upper split plate 1.

The filtration loss adjusting plate 26 is arranged at the end of the injection pipe 16, and the filtration loss adjusting plate 26 can be integrally arranged with the injection pipe 16. An injection section for connecting with the injection fixing pipe 19 is arranged on the filtration loss fixing plate 25, and a filtration loss fracture opening bolt 27 for adjusting the gap between the filtration loss fixing plate and the filtration loss adjusting plate is arranged on the filtration loss fixing plate 25 and the filtration loss adjusting plate 26.

[0042] Since the liquid injection fixing pipe 19 is arranged at the end of the liquid injection pipe, in order to ensure the sealing during liquid injection, a rectangular groove 19a for the upper fracture plate 1 and the lower fracture plate 2 to extend into is arranged at the right end of the liquid injection fixing pipe 19, and the upper fracture plate 1 can move up and down in the rectangular groove 19a. In order to ensure the sealing between the upper end of the upper fracture plate and the rectangular groove during the up-and-down movement of the upper fracture plate, a front-and-back extending sealing protrusion 1a is inserted above the left end of the upper fracture plate 1, the upper end of the sealing protrusion 1a is sleeved with a circle of upper-and-lower sealing rings, meanwhile, a sealing strip groove 19b for the sealing protrusion 1a to insert into and move up and down is arranged on the upper wall of the rectangular groove 19a, and the upper-and-lower sealing rings are always located in the sealing strip groove 19b. In this embodiment, a position-to-protrusion 1c is arranged at the position close to the left end of the upper fracture plate, after installation, the left side surface of the position-to-protrusion just abuts against the right side surface of the liquid injection fixing pipe, so that the abutting bolt can be prevented from being excessively pressed to compress the upper-and-lower sealing rings during installation, so that the upper fracture plate cannot move up and down normally.

In order to ensure sealing, sealing strips are filled in the card strip grooves and the grooves on the lower inner wall of the rectangular groove, and the cross section of the sealing strip is circular.
[0046] In order to reduce the friction when the lower fissure plate moves to the right, a bottom plate 24 is arranged below the lower fissure plate 2 in the fixing assembly, and a plurality of front and rear extending rollers 24a are arranged on the bottom plate 24 at intervals.
[0047] In order to better observe the movement of the fracturing fluid with the proppant, the upper and lower pressure bearing plates are made of transparent materials such as organic glass, and the device is preferably equipped with a high-speed camera.

[0049] Step 1: Test preparation; connect all parts of the test device completely, and after checking, fill the predetermined proppant in the proppant storage tank in the injection assembly, and fill the fracturing fluid in the fracturing tank.
[0050] Second step: load application; the predetermined normal load is applied to the upper fracture plate and the predetermined tangential load is applied to the lower fracture plate by the fixing assembly, and the fracture assembly reaches the predetermined dip angle and inclination. Specifically, the compression of the normal load spring is achieved by screwing the support bolt, so that the normal load on the upper fracture plate reaches the predetermined value, and the normal load is the elastic force of all normal load springs. By changing the distance between the fixing column and the diameter of the lower fracture plate, the compression amount of the tangential load spring is changed, so that the tangential load on the lower fracture plate reaches the predetermined value, and the normal load is the elastic force of all tangential load springs. By screwing the filtration fracture opening bolt, the opening of the filtration fracture is changed to reach the predetermined value. By adjusting the height of the four support rods, the fracture assembly can reach the predetermined dip angle and inclination, that is, the fracture surface between the upper fracture plate and the lower fracture plate reaches the predetermined dip angle and inclination.
[0051] Third step: fracturing; start the water pump and the proppant screw conveyor, mix the fracturing fluid and the proppant, and then inject them into the space between the upper fracture plate and the lower fracture plate at the predetermined rate.
[0052] Fourth step: completion of fracturing; when the injection time of the fracturing fluid with proppant reaches the predetermined time, stop the injection, that is, stop the water pump and the proppant screw conveyor, and record the distribution position of the proppant when the fracturing fluid with proppant stops moving between the upper fracture plate and the lower fracture plate, the flow rate of the fracturing fluid filtration during the test, the displacement of the upper fracture plate and the displacement of the lower fracture plate, so as to obtain the sliding rule of the lower fracture plate under the action of the tangential load spring and the non-uniform deformation rule of the upper fracture plate, and analyze the distribution rule of the proppant in the fracture.
[0053] Fifth step: repeat the test; clean the fracturing fluid and the proppant in the test device, restore the test device to the initial state, then change the filtration opening by screwing the filtration fracture opening bolt, and repeat the steps from the third step to the fourth step, so as to obtain the migration rule of hydraulic fracturing and proppant under different filtration conditions. When repeating the test, the injection rate of the fracturing fluid, the mixing concentration of the proppant, the normal load and the tangential load should be kept unchanged.
