Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a multi-stage pulse combustion and fracturing device and method for methane in shale gas reservoirs, which is suitable for efficient extraction of low-permeability shale gas reservoirs and belongs to the field of shale gas extraction. Background Technology
[0002] With the gradual maturation of shale gas extraction technology, the proportion of shale gas production in total natural gas production has been steadily increasing, significantly altering the global energy structure. Shale gas reservoirs generally exhibit low porosity and low permeability, making shale gas development extremely difficult. Commercial exploitation necessitates the adoption of enhancement measures. Currently, the commonly used enhancement measure is hydraulic fracturing, but this method suffers from several problems: firstly, fracturing fluid is prone to contamination and flowback is difficult; secondly, it requires substantial water resources, making implementation challenging in water-scarce regions; and thirdly, the fracture network is often monotonous and prone to water-locking effects on the reservoir. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel enhanced extraction method for shale gas wells to improve shale gas extraction efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a multi-stage pulse combustion and detonation fracturing device and method for shale gas reservoirs containing methane. It does not require large amounts of water and fracturing fluid and can construct a three-dimensional fracture network around multi-branch horizontal wells, providing a solution to the problems of increasing shale gas production, reducing development costs, and mitigating severe environmental pollution.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a multi-stage pulse combustion and detonation fracturing method for methane in shale gas reservoirs is proposed. The specific steps of this method are as follows:
[0005] A. After selecting a good sweet spot for shale gas, drill a vertical shaft from the surface to the shale reservoir to be exploited, and run cementing casing into the shaft to complete the shaft;
[0006] B. Operate the directional drilling rig to drill a horizontal branch well connected to the vertical shaft at the planned shale reservoir. A cementing screen is installed in the horizontal branch well, and the lower end of the cementing casing is connected to the end of the cementing screen. The cementing screen has screen holes that are compatible with the combustion and fracturing device. A sealing wall is constructed at the connection between the cementing casing and the cementing screen to seal and separate the horizontal branch well from the vertical shaft, so that the horizontal branch well is isolated from the outside gas.
[0007] C. A combustion-induced fracturing device is installed inside the cementing screen corresponding to the screen hole. The device contains a gas concentration monitor and an ignition head. Oxygen and methane inlet pipes pass through the device. The portions of the oxygen and methane inlet pipes inside the device are equipped with oxygen and methane valves, respectively. The other end of the methane inlet pipe extends out of the vertical shaft and splits into two pipelines, connecting to the extraction device on the surface and the outlet of the No. 1 gas booster pump, respectively. The inlet of the No. 1 gas booster pump is connected to… The methane storage chamber is connected, and a methane storage chamber valve is installed at the connection point. The oxygen inlet pipe is connected to the outlet of the No. 2 gas booster pump, and the inlet of the No. 2 gas booster pump is connected to the oxygen storage chamber, and an oxygen storage chamber valve is installed at the connection point. The gas concentration monitor and ignition head are both fixed inside the combustion and explosion fracturing device. The oxygen pipe valve, methane pipe valve, methane storage chamber valve, oxygen storage chamber valve, gas concentration monitor, and ignition head are all connected to the ground control center through communication lines to complete the assembly of the combustion and explosion fracturing system.
[0008] D. Open the valves of the methane storage chamber and the oxygen storage chamber, and start the No. 1 and No. 2 gas booster pumps to continuously supply methane and oxygen through the oxygen inlet pipe, the methane inlet pipe, the oxygen pipe valve, and the methane pipe valve into the combustion-explosion fracturing device. At this time, the control center collects the gas concentration in the combustion-explosion fracturing device in real time through the gas concentration monitor. When the collected real-time gas concentration reaches the explosion limit value, stop the No. 1 and No. 2 gas booster pumps and close the oxygen pipe valve and the methane pipe valve. The control center controls the ignition head to ignite, thereby causing the mixed gas in the combustion-explosion fracturing device to explode, generating a detonation shock wave. This causes the four movable fracturing heads of the combustion-explosion fracturing device to extend and press into the shale reservoir. At the same time, the detonation shock wave impacts the shale reservoir through the energy-concentrating holes on the combustion-explosion fracturing device. Meanwhile, the inner walls of the four movable fracturing heads of the combustion-explosion fracturing device are equipped with anti-retraction serrations to prevent the movable fracturing heads from retracting due to ground stress.
[0009] E. Repeat step D to ensure that all four movable fracturing heads of each combustion-induced fracturing device are pressed into the shale reservoir, and the detonation shock wave repeatedly impacts the shale reservoir to form a fracture network. After completion, close the oxygen pipe valve, methane storage chamber valve, and oxygen storage chamber valve, open the methane pipe valve, and activate the extraction device to extract shale gas from the shale reservoir through the methane inlet pipe.
[0010] F. Repeat steps A to E to extract shale gas from the remaining shale reservoirs that need to be exploited.
[0011] In step C), a combustion fracturing device is installed at the position corresponding to the screen hole inside the cementing screen pipe by a fixing rope. Each combustion fracturing device is fixed by multiple fixing ropes. One end of the fixing rope is fixed to the rope fixing connection point distributed on the inner wall of the cementing screen pipe, and the other end is fixed to the combustion fracturing device so that the combustion fracturing device is held in the set position inside the cementing screen pipe.
[0012] This invention also provides a multi-stage pulse combustion-explosion fracturing device for methane in shale gas reservoirs, comprising a vertical shaft drilled from the surface into a shale reservoir, a horizontal branch well drilled at the lower end of the vertical shaft along the shale reservoir, a cementing casing and a cementing screen pipe respectively installed in the vertical shaft and the horizontal branch well, with their ends fixedly connected, a combustion-explosion fracturing device fixedly distributed along the length of the middle of the cementing screen pipe, a gas concentration monitor and an ignition head installed in the combustion-explosion fracturing device, movable fracturing heads distributed circumferentially along the cementing screen pipe on the combustion-explosion fracturing device, the movable fracturing heads and the combustion-explosion fracturing device being detachably connected, screen pipe holes corresponding to the positions of the movable fracturing heads being opened on the cementing screen pipe for the movable fracturing heads to pass through, and cylindrical structures coaxial with the corresponding screen pipe holes on the combustion-explosion fracturing device corresponding to the positions of the movable fracturing heads, the inner end of the movable fracturing head being slidably disposed on the cylindrical structure along the axial direction of the cylindrical structure. Inside, the outer end of the movable fracturing head is cone-shaped, and energy-concentrating holes are distributed on the outer end of the movable fracturing head to facilitate its insertion into the shale reservoir. Both the oxygen and methane inlet pipes extend into the combustion-explosion fracturing device, and oxygen and methane inlet pipes are respectively equipped with oxygen and methane valves. The other end of the methane inlet pipe extends out of the vertical shaft and splits into two pipelines, which are respectively connected to the extraction device on the surface and the outlet of the No. 1 gas booster pump. The inlet of the No. 1 gas booster pump is connected to the methane storage chamber, and a methane storage chamber valve is installed at the connection. The oxygen inlet pipe is connected to the outlet of the No. 2 gas booster pump, and the inlet of the No. 2 gas booster pump is connected to the oxygen storage chamber, and an oxygen storage chamber valve is installed at the connection. The oxygen valve, methane valve, methane storage chamber valve, oxygen storage chamber valve, gas concentration monitor, and ignition head are all connected to the ground control center via communication lines.
[0013] In the aforementioned shale gas reservoir methane multi-stage pulse combustion and explosion fracturing device, the combustion and explosion fracturing device has a cross-shaped structure, and the four cross ends of the combustion and explosion fracturing device are four movable fracturing heads and the matching cylindrical structure.
[0014] In the aforementioned shale gas reservoir methane multi-stage pulse combustion and fracturing device, anti-retraction serrations are distributed on the inner wall of the cylindrical structure.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this invention utilizes gas delivery facilities to supply combustible gas to a combustion-explosion fracturing device. An ignition head then detonates the gas, generating a detonation shock wave that forces the fracturing device into the shale reservoir. Furthermore, the fracturing device has pores, allowing the detonation shock wave to further pressurize the shale reservoir and create artificial fractures. This method is safer and more environmentally friendly, and is particularly suitable for the extraction of low-permeability shale gas reservoirs. This invention also has the following advantages:
[0016] (1) The combustion-explosion fracturing device can penetrate deep into the shale reservoir, with a larger fracturing range, and the combustion-explosion fracturing device can support the shale reservoir to prevent the fracture network from reclosing under the action of geostress.
[0017] (2) The explosion is completed in the combustion-detonation fracturing device, which generates more concentrated kinetic energy and higher fracturing efficiency.
[0018] (3) The part of the combustion and fracturing device that is pressed into the shale reservoir has holes. After multiple explosions, crisscrossing artificial fractures can be formed, which improves the permeability of shale gas.
[0019] (4) A sealing wall at the connection between the casing and the screen pipe separates the horizontal branch well from the vertical well. After fracturing is completed, the downhole pressure is higher than before fracturing, which is beneficial for shale gas extraction from the normal pressure shale reservoir.
[0020] (5) After fracturing is completed, if necessary, the methane pipe valve can be closed and CO2 can be injected into the well using the oxygen pipe to drive shale gas. At the same time, if the shale reservoir meets the requirements of the carbon dioxide capture layer, the gas transmission device of this invention can be used to inject CO2 into the reservoir.
