[0002] Heterogeneous reservoir gas reservoirs are the main battleground for natural gas development, such as carbonate reservoirs. Acidizing is one of the main means to achieve efficient development of such oil and gas reservoirs. Natural fracture systems are the main channels for acid flow, and the acid injection parameters directly affect the flow of acid in natural fractures, thereby affecting the acidizing operation effect and in turn affecting the production of oil and gas wells. Reasonable acid injection parameters are a basic requirement for the effective production of oil and gas wells.

[0003] The optimization design of acid injection parameters relies on acidification models. Previously, most acidification models considered natural fractures as a matrix with better porosity and permeability, treating natural fractures and reservoir matrix as the same medium. However, they ignored the different flow mechanisms of acid in natural fractures and its different characteristics in the matrix. In addition, although some scholars have described the flow behavior of acid in the matrix and natural fractures respectively, thus improving the accuracy of the models, they often suffer from small computational scale and large computational load, making it difficult to calculate the accurate acid injection parameters for acidification stimulation of heterogeneous reservoirs in a simple and efficient manner.

The order of the operations can be rearranged. A process can terminate when its operation is complete, but it may also have additional steps not included in the diagram. A process can correspond to a method, function, procedure, subroutine, subroutine, etc.

Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a” and “an” as used herein are also intended to include the plural. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising” and / or “including” as used herein specify the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, operations, units, and / or components, without excluding the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, units, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0043] Heterogeneous reservoir gas reservoirs are the main focus of current and future natural gas development in China, and acidizing is one of the main methods to achieve efficient development of such reservoirs. Natural fracture systems are the main channels for acid flow, and acid injection parameters directly affect the flow of acid in natural fractures, thus affecting the acidizing operation effect and consequently the production of oil and gas wells. Reasonable acid injection parameters are a basic requirement for the effective production of oil and gas wells.

[0044] The optimization design of acid injection parameters relies on acidification models. Previously, most acidification models considered natural fractures as a matrix with better porosity and permeability, and regarded natural fractures and reservoir rock matrix as the same medium (Zhang Hewen, Zou Honglan, Yan Xuemei, Cui Mingyue, Jiang Weidong. Fractal model of acid etching wormholes in carbonate rocks and optimization of acidification parameters [J]. Journal of Southwest Petroleum University (Natural Science Edition), 2017, 39(02):105-110.). However, the flow mechanism of acid in natural fractures is different from that in the matrix (Zhang Liehui, Li Chengyong, Zhao Yulong, Wu Feng. Research progress on seepage mechanism of fractured carbonate oil and gas reservoirs [J]. Earth Science, 2017, 42(08):1273-1286).

[0045] Currently, many scholars have described the acid flow behavior in the matrix and natural fractures, respectively, and the accuracy of their models has been significantly improved. However, they often suffer from problems such as small computational scale and large computational cost (e.g., Qi Ning, Chen Guobin, Li Zhenliang, Liang Chong, He Long. Numerical simulation of large-scale acidification in fractured carbonate reservoirs based on step-by-step algorithm [J]. Acta Petrolei Sinica, 2020, 41(03):3).

[0046] (48-362+371). Currently, there is a lack of direct and simple methods to optimize acid injection parameters for acidizing heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs.

[0047] To meet the technical needs in this field, this invention provides a method and system for designing acid fracturing parameters for heterogeneous reservoirs. Addressing the current lack of direct and simple methods for optimizing acid injection parameters in heterogeneous reservoirs, this invention uses natural fractures as the flow channels for acid during the acidification process. It considers how the acid changes the fracture width on the fracture walls and uses the modified relationship of the NK model and the mass conservation equation to calculate the acid fracture width, length, and conductivity under different acid volumes and discharge rates. The optimal acid fracture length and conductivity for production needs are then used as indicators to optimize the acid volume and discharge rate.

[0048] The following describes the detailed flow of the method according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, the steps of which can be executed in a computer system containing, for example, a set of computer-executable instructions. Although the logical order of the steps is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown here.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates a flowchart of the method for designing acid fracturing parameters for heterogeneous reservoirs according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. (Refer to...) Figure 1 As can be seen, the method includes the following steps.

[0051] Step S1: Construct an acidizing stimulation geometric model for the reservoir to be stimulated, and then combine the geometric model and reservoir fracture attribute data to calculate the acid flow velocity in the fracture under different preset construction discharge conditions by introducing the required acidizing section length and acidizing section thickness data; the reservoir fracture data includes: reservoir fracture density and initial width of natural fractures.

[0052] Step S2: Based on the acid rock etching reaction rate calculated according to the Arrhenius equation, and combined with the mass transfer coefficient calculated according to the Sherwood number definition, calculate the acid concentration on the fracture wall of the hydrochloric acid reaction with the reservoir.

[0053] Step S3: Assuming that all the acid that has filtered out from the hydraulic fracture wall into the matrix rock mass participates in the dissolution of the reservoir matrix, calculate the dissolution width of the natural fracture wall based on the acid concentration of the fracture wall and the matrix property parameters.

[0054] Step S4: Using the principle of mass conservation, determine the corresponding reservoir matrix dissolution volume according to different construction acid amounts, and then calculate the acid etching fracture width and acid etching fracture length by combining the reservoir matrix dissolution volume and the geometric model.

[0055] Step S5: Based on the obtained acid-etched fracture width, calculate the conductivity of the acid-etched fracture corresponding to different combinations of construction discharge rate and construction acid quantity according to the correction principle of the NK model. Select the optimal construction acid quantity and construction discharge rate for the current reservoir with the goal of achieving the optimal correlation between acid-etched fracture length and acid-etched fracture conductivity.

[0056] Based on the operational guidelines in the above embodiments, and based on the constructed reservoir acidizing stimulation geometric model, considering the acid erosion on the natural fracture wall changing the fracture width, an analytical solution is used to calculate the acid erosion fracture length, acid erosion fracture width, and conductivity under different acid injection parameters in a relatively accurate and simple way. With the optimal acid erosion fracture length and acid erosion fracture conductivity as the target for production needs, the best matching construction acid quantity and construction discharge volume data are selected to provide support for the acidizing stimulation construction of heterogeneous reservoirs.

[0057] In one optional embodiment, the wellbore direction corresponding to the fracture width direction is used as the X-axis, the natural fracture extension direction is used as the Y-axis, and the Z-axis is set perpendicular to both the X-axis and Y-axis directions to characterize the acidizing stimulation geometry model of the reservoir to be stimulated in the fracture height direction.

[0058] In practical applications, establish such as Figure 2 The geometric model for acidizing and stimulating heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs shown is as follows: X direction is the wellbore direction, corresponding to the fracture width direction; Y direction is the natural fracture extension direction, corresponding to the fracture length direction; Z direction is perpendicular to both the wellbore and the natural fracture extension direction, corresponding to the fracture height direction; x is the length of the acidized section, Dx is the fracture density, wi is the initial width of the natural fracture, and h is the thickness of the acidized section.

[0059] Furthermore, in one embodiment, when deciding on the acidizing section length parameter, the target is to be no less than the sum of the reservoir mud contamination range and the offset coefficient, where the offset coefficient is a positive number.

[0060] Assuming a certain set of construction acid volume Q and construction discharge volume V, the corresponding acid injection time t can be obtained through logical calculation using the following formula:

[0061]

[0062] In the formula, Q represents the amount of acid used during construction, and m 3 V represents the construction displacement in meters. 3 / min, where t is the acid injection time, in seconds.

[0063] Specifically, in one embodiment, in step S1, the acid flow velocity in a single crack corresponding to different construction discharge rates is calculated according to the following logic:

[0064]

[0065] In the formula, v is the acid flow velocity within the crack, m / s; V is the corresponding construction discharge rate, m³ / s. 3 / min, where x is the length of the acidification section in m; D x Let m be the crack density. -1 ;w i denoted as the initial width of the natural crack, in meters; h is the thickness of the acidified section, in meters.

[0066] Next, by carrying out step S2, the acid etching reaction rate of the acid rock is calculated, and then the acid concentration on the fracture wall of the hydrochloric acid reaction with the reservoir is calculated by combining the mass transfer coefficient calculated according to the definition of Sherwood number.

[0067] In one embodiment, the acid etching reaction rate k of acid rocks is calculated according to the Arrhenius equation. c :

[0068]

[0069] Furthermore, based on the laminar flow assumption, the Sherwood number N is calculated using the Navier-Stokes formula. Sh :

[0070]

[0071] Also includes: based on Sherwood number N Sh Definition principle for calculating mass transfer coefficient k g :

[0072] k g =D e N sh / w i (5)

[0073] Therefore, based on boundary layer theory, assuming that the reaction between hydrochloric acid and the heterogeneous reservoir to be modified is a first-order reaction, in one embodiment, in step S2, the acid concentration at the fracture wall surface of the hydrochloric acid reaction with the reservoir can be calculated according to the following formula:

[0074]

[0075] in, k g =D e N sh / w i N Sh =4.1 + 1.26N Pe +0.02675N Pe 2 N Pe <20; N Sh =2N Pe N Pe ≥20; N Pe =vw i / 2D e ;

[0076] In the formula, c w The acid concentration at the crack wall, in mol / m 3 ;k c The acid etching reaction rate of the acid rock is given by k; k0 is the frequency factor, given by E. a R is the activation energy of acid etching reaction of acid rocks, J / mol; R is the gas constant, J / (K·mol); T w K represents absolute temperature; k represents absolute temperature. g The mass transfer coefficient is N, in m / s. Sh For Sherwood, dimensionless; N Pe D is the mass transfer Peckley number, dimensionless; e For the effective diffusion coefficient, m 2 / s; c is the acid concentration, mol / m 3 ;w i Let be the initial width of the natural crack, in meters (m).

[0077] Furthermore, assuming that all the acid that filters out from the hydraulic fracture wall into the matrix rock participates in dissolving the reservoir matrix and forming acid wormholes, but does not participate in dissolving the hydraulic fracture wall, in step S3, the dissolution width of the natural fracture wall is calculated based on the acid concentration at the fracture wall and the matrix property parameters according to the following logic:

[0078]

[0079] in, t represents the acid injection time, in seconds; w r β is the dissolution width of the natural fracture wall, in meters; β is the dissolution capacity of the acid on the reservoir matrix minerals, in kilograms; M is the molar mass of the matrix, in kilograms per mol; c w The acid concentration at the crack wall, in mol / m 3 ;k c The acid etching rate of acid rocks is given in m / s; ρ s The density of the matrix is ​​kg / m³. 3 φ represents matrix porosity, in percentages.

[0080] Next, by executing step S4, the corresponding reservoir matrix dissolution volume is determined according to the different construction acid amounts based on the principle of mass conservation. Then, the acid etching fracture width and acid etching fracture length are calculated by combining the reservoir matrix dissolution volume and the geometric model.

[0081] Specifically, based on the law of conservation of mass, assuming that all the acid participates in the dissolution of the modified reservoir matrix, then the injected acid volume V HCl The volume of reservoir matrix dissolution V can be calculated. C :

[0082]

[0083] In the formula, V C The volume of reservoir matrix dissolution is m. 3 ;wt HCl The mass concentration of hydrochloric acid is expressed as %; ρ HCl The density of hydrochloric acid is expressed in g / cm³. 3 V HCl For the amount of acid used in construction, m 3 M C M is the molar mass of the reservoir matrix, in g / mol; HCl ρ is the molar mass of hydrochloric acid, in g / mol; C The density of calcium carbonate, in g / cm³ 3 .

[0084] Furthermore, the width of the acid-etched fracture decreases along its length. Assuming the acid-etched fracture is wedge-shaped, in one embodiment, in step S4, based on the reservoir matrix dissolution volume V... C Combined with the acidizing stimulation model of heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs, and the dissolution width w obtained in step S3 above, r Calculate the width and length of the acid-etched cracks using the following formulas:

[0085] w = w i +w r (9)

[0086]

[0087] In the formula, w is the width of the acid-etched crevices, in meters; w i V is the initial width of the natural crack, in meters; l is the length of the acid-etched crack, in meters; V C The volume of reservoir matrix dissolution is m. 3 h is the thickness of the acidified section, in meters; x is the length of the acidified section, in meters; D x This represents the crack density in the acidized section.

[0088] Furthermore, in step S5, the conductivity of the acid-etched fracture corresponding to different combinations of construction discharge rate and construction acid quantity is calculated according to the correction principle of the NK model based on the obtained acid-etched fracture width. The optimal construction acid quantity and construction discharge rate of the current reservoir are selected with the goal of achieving the optimal correlation between the acid-etched fracture length and the acid-etched fracture conductivity.

[0089] Specifically, in one embodiment, in step S5, the conductivity of the acid-etched crack is calculated from the acid-etched crack width w corresponding to each crack length according to the following formula:

[0090] wk f =7.797×10 5 w 2.466 e -0.006895σcα (11)

[0091] in,

[0092] In the formula, wk f The equivalent conductivity of the fractured area due to volumetric acid fracturing is represented by D·cm; w is the acid etching fracture width corresponding to the current combination of discharge rate and acid volume; σ c For effective closure stress, MPa; α is used as an intermediate calculation factor; S f denoted as matrix embedding strength, MPa.

[0093] Based on the calculated data, with the goal of optimizing the correlation between acid etching fracture length and acid etching fracture conductivity, the optimal acid etching amount and discharge rate for the current reservoir were selected from multiple sets of construction acid amount and construction discharge rate.

[0094] In practical applications, multiple sets of construction acid quantity Q and construction discharge rate V can be pre-set and calculated simultaneously; or, after calculation based on a certain set of construction acid quantity data or construction discharge rate data, the construction acid quantity Q and construction discharge rate V can be further optimized and changed based on the calculation results. The above steps S1 to S5 are repeated to analyze the acid etching fracture width w, acid etching fracture length l, and acid etching fracture conductivity wk under different acid injection parameters in the acidizing construction of heterogeneous reservoirs. f Based on the optimal acid etching fracture length l and the acid etching fracture conductivity wk according to production requirements f The corresponding optimal acid injection quantity Q and the corresponding acid injection rate V are obtained and used as the target acid injection parameters for the current reservoir.

[0095] Implementation Case:

[0096] Taking a heterogeneous carbonate reservoir in a well area with known acidized section length and fracture properties as an example, the acid injection parameters for acidizing stimulation operations are designed through the following steps:

[0097] S1. Assuming the acidized section length x is 20m, and the natural fracture density D... x 0.5m -1 The initial width of the natural crack w i The thickness is 0.5mm, the acidification section thickness h is 40m, and the acid quantity Q is 400m³. 3 The construction displacement V is 2m. 3 / min, the acid injection time t is 12000s.

[0098] S2. The acid etching reaction rate k of the acid rock was calculated. c It is 8.06×10 -7 m / s, mass transfer coefficient k g The velocity is 0.1667 m / s, and the erosion width is w. r It is 0.0158m.

[0099] S3. The calculated acid etching groove width w is 0.0163m and the acid etching groove length l is 13.03m.

[0100] S4. Calculate the conductivity wk of the acid-etched cracks. f It is 1.30D·cm.

[0101] S5. By changing the amount of acid used in the construction and the flow rate, the morphology and conductivity of the acid-etched cracks under different acid injection parameters were obtained. The results are shown in the table below.

[0103] Based on the well data, the mud contamination range is 10m. To eliminate mud contamination, the acid-etched fracture length must be greater than 10m. Simultaneously, the acid dosage and discharge rate during acidizing should be optimized to achieve high conductivity, especially for fractures with a fracture density of 0.5m³. -1 For reservoirs, a construction acid volume of 400m³ is recommended. 3 Construction discharge volume 2m 3 / min; for a crack density of 1m -1 For reservoirs, a construction acid volume of 400m³ is recommended. 3 Construction discharge volume 4m 3 / min.

[0104] Compared with existing technologies, the acid injection parameter design scheme for acidizing stimulation provided by the above embodiments of the present invention can overcome the problems of small computational scale and complex process in existing acid injection parameter decision-making methods that describe and calculate the acid flow behavior in the matrix and natural fractures separately. The present invention is based on an acidizing stimulation geometric model constructed around the distribution of reservoir fractures, considering the change of fracture width by acid on the natural fracture wall, and uses the correction relationship of the NK model and the mass conservation equation to calculate the acid-etched fracture width, acid-etched fracture length and acid-etched fracture conductivity under different construction acid quantities and construction discharge rates. The construction acid quantity and construction discharge rate are optimized with the optimal acid-etched fracture length and acid-etched fracture conductivity for production needs as indicators.
