Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of unconventional oil and gas extraction technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device and medium for evaluating fracture activation intensity. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic fracturing is a key technology for unconventional oil and gas development. Essentially, it involves injecting sand and fluid into the reservoir under high pressure to create artificial fractures, allowing oil and gas to be produced along these fractures. Effectively identifying the ease with which these artificial fractures can be activated during hydraulic fracturing is crucial for building unconventional production capacity.
[0003] Currently, there are two main types of methods for predicting fracture activation intensity. One type directly uses geophysical properties to predict the distribution of natural fractures, such as coherence, curvature, ant-like structures, and azimuthal anisotropy, and characterizes the ease of fracture activation by the development intensity of natural fractures. The other type is fracture modeling methods, which integrate three-dimensional seismic properties, tectonic structures, and microseismic monitoring results to construct fracture models, clarify fracture distribution characteristics, and make them easier to activate during hydraulic fracturing.
[0004] While both methods have achieved some success in predicting crack activation intensity, they suffer from significant ambiguity. The former primarily uses the strength of natural cracks to characterize the ease of crack activation, but it fails to consider the primary factor influencing crack activation: changes in the stress field. The latter method improves upon the former by incorporating tectonic and microseismic monitoring data, thus enhancing prediction accuracy, but it still doesn't account for the impact of stress field variations on crack activation. Therefore, current crack activation intensity prediction methods lack reliability and cannot effectively meet practical production needs. Summary of the Invention

[0079] Step S104: By applying the horizontal stress difference ratio of the ground stress to the fracture attribute body, a horizontal stress difference ratio attribute body is obtained; by meshing the horizontal stress difference ratio attribute body, a second fracture mesh model is constructed based on the three-dimensional structural model; the fracture density curve is used as a constraint to solve the second fracture mesh model to obtain the ground stress fracture density model.
[0080] Step S105: By applying the fracturability index in the fracturability attribute to the fracture attribute body, a fracturable attribute body is obtained; by meshing the fracturable attribute body, a third fracture mesh model is constructed based on the three-dimensional construction model; the fracture density curve is used as a constraint to solve the third fracture mesh model to obtain a fracturable fracture density model.
[0081] Step S106: The fused fracture density model, the geostress fracture density model, and the compressible fracture density model are fused to obtain a multi-attribute fused fracture activation intensity model to characterize the fracture activation intensity of the target area.
[0082] In an embodiment of the present invention, three-dimensional seismic data of the target area for which fracture activation intensity evaluation needs to be performed are obtained. By synthesizing, recording and calibrating the three-dimensional seismic data, the target layer of the target area is determined, and the structural interpretation of the target layer, such as faults and horizons, is performed. Based on the geological characteristics of the target area, fault combination and horizon tracking are performed to establish a three-dimensional structural model of the target area.
[0083] Simultaneously, imaging logging is used to probe the target formation of the exploration well in the target area, and the fracture density curve of the target area is determined based on the detected imaging information. Imaging logging includes electrical imaging logging and acoustic imaging logging.
[0084] After obtaining the three-dimensional structural model and fracture density curve of the target area, various fracture density models are solved. These models include the fused fracture density model, the geostress fracture density model, and the compressible fracture density model.
[0085] Specifically, a fused crack attribute volume is obtained by fusing multiple crack attribute volumes with different curvature properties; then, the fused crack attribute volume is meshed, and a corresponding first crack mesh model is constructed based on the three-dimensional construction model of the target region constructed in step S101; after obtaining the first crack mesh model, the crack density curve of the target region determined in step S102 is used as a constraint, and the first crack mesh model is solved by the Kriging interpolation method to obtain the corresponding fused crack density model.
[0086] By applying the horizontal stress difference ratio of geostress to the fracture attribute volume, a horizontal stress difference ratio attribute volume is obtained, wherein the horizontal stress difference ratio of geostress applied to the fracture attribute volume is a fracture attribute volume with a beam domain scale factor of 1; then, meshing is performed on this horizontal stress difference ratio attribute volume, and a corresponding second fracture mesh model is constructed based on the three-dimensional structural model of the target region constructed in step S101; after obtaining the second fracture mesh model, the fracture density curve of the target region determined in step S102 is used as a constraint, and the second fracture mesh model is solved by the Kriging interpolation method to obtain the corresponding geostress fracture density model.
[0087] By applying the compressibility index from the compressibility attribute to the fracture attribute volume, a compressibility attribute volume is obtained, wherein the compressibility index applied to the fracture attribute volume is a fracture attribute volume with a beam domain scale factor of 1. Then, a mesh is generated on the compressibility attribute volume, and a corresponding third fracture mesh model is constructed based on the three-dimensional structural model of the target region constructed in step S101. After obtaining the third fracture mesh model, the fracture density curve of the target region determined in step S102 is used as a constraint, and the third fracture mesh model is solved by the Kriging interpolation method to obtain the corresponding compressibility fracture density model.
[0088] After obtaining the above three fused fracture density models, geostress fracture density model and fracturing fracture density model, the three fracture density models are fused to obtain a multi-attribute fused fracture activation intensity model. This model will accurately and effectively characterize the fracture activation intensity of the target area, so as to guide the deployment of horizontal wells and fracturing optimization.
[0089] In this invention, determining the fracture density curve of the target area based on the imaging information of the target area obtained by imaging logging includes: obtaining imaging information of the target segment of a single well within the target area through imaging logging; calculating the fracture density of each point based on the number of cracks at each point in the imaging information; and constructing the fracture density curve of the single well by connecting the fracture densities of each point in depth order.
[0090] In an embodiment of the present invention, the target section of the probe well in the target area is probed by imaging logging. The probed imaging information is analyzed to obtain fracture information at different depth points in the target section of the target area. The fracture information includes the number of fractures, fracture dip angle, fracture azimuth angle, etc. Based on the number of fractures at different depth points in the target section of the target area, the fracture density at different depth points in the target area is calculated using the following formula (1). By connecting the fracture densities at different depth points in depth order, a fracture density curve of a single probe well in the target section of the target area is constructed. In an embodiment of the present invention, the fracture density at each depth point in the probe well is calculated using the following formula (1).
[0091]
[0092] Where md is a depth point in the well; Intensity(md) is the fracture density at depth point md in the well; W is the depth point calculation window; and X(md) is the number of fractures at depth point md in the well.
[0093] In this invention, determining the fracture density curve of the target area based on the imaging information of the target area obtained by imaging logging includes: obtaining imaging information of the target segment of multiple wells in the target area through imaging logging; calculating the fracture density at each depth point based on the number of cracks at the same depth point in the multiple wells in the imaging information; obtaining the target crack density at the same depth in the target area by processing the fracture density at each depth point; and constructing the fracture density curve of the single well by connecting the target fracture densities at each depth in the target area in depth order.
[0094] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve the accuracy of the fracture density curve of the target area, imaging information of the target layer of multiple probe wells in the target area is obtained by imaging logging, and all the detected imaging information is analyzed to obtain fracture information at different depths of the target layer in multiple probe wells in the target area.
[0095] One method for calculating the fracture density at the same depth point based on the number of fractures at the same depth point in multiple wells from the imaging information is as follows: The number of fractures at the same depth point in the target region is obtained by comprehensively processing the number of fractures at the same depth point in all probe wells. For example, the number of fractures at the same depth point in the target region is obtained by averaging the number of fractures at the same depth point in all probe wells. Based on the number of fractures at the same depth point in the target region, the fracture density at the same depth point in the target region is calculated using the formula (1) above. Similarly, the fracture density at each depth point in the target region is obtained using the same implementation method as above, where the fracture density at the same depth point in the target region is calculated using formula (1). Then, the fracture densities at different depth points are connected in depth order to construct the fracture density curve of the target segment in the target region.
[0096] One method for calculating the fracture density at the same depth point based on the number of fractures at the same depth point in multiple wells from the imaging information is as follows: For any well among all the exploration wells, the fracture density at different depth points of that well is calculated using the formula (1) above, based on the number of fractures at different depth points of that well. After obtaining the fracture density of each well at different depth points through this implementation method, the fracture density of all wells at the same depth point is comprehensively processed to obtain the fracture density of the target area at that same depth point. For example, the fracture density of the target area at that same depth point is obtained by averaging the fracture density of all wells at the same depth point. Similarly, by obtaining the fracture density of the target area at different depth points through this implementation method, the fracture density curve of the target segment of the target area is constructed by connecting the fracture densities at different depth points in depth order.
[0097] In this invention, the step of fusing multiple fracture attribute volumes with multiple curvature attributes to obtain a fused fracture attribute volume includes: presetting multiple beam domain scale factors; calculating multiple fracture attribute volumes corresponding to the multiple beam domain scale factors respectively using wavenumber domain fractional derivatives; determining the fusion coefficients corresponding to each of the multiple fracture attribute volumes based on multi-well fracture information in the target segment within the target area; and determining the fused fracture attribute volume based on the multiple fracture attribute volumes and their respective fusion coefficients.
[0098] In an embodiment of the present invention, multiple beam domain scale factors are preset, and multiple crack attribute bodies corresponding to the multiple beam domain scale factors are calculated by wavenumber fractional derivative. Then, the multiple crack attribute bodies are fused using the following formula (2) to obtain a fused crack attribute body.
[0099] In an embodiment of the present invention, a preferred implementation of the preset multiple beam domain scaling factors is to preset three beam domain scaling factors with values of K1 = 0.25, K2 = 0.5, and K3 = 0.75 respectively.
[0100] Fuse=aA+bB+cC (2)
[0101] Where Fuse is the fusion crack attribute body, A is the crack attribute body with K1 = 0.25, B is the crack attribute body with K2 = 0.5, C is the crack attribute body with K3 = 0.75, a is the fusion coefficient of crack attribute body A, b is the fusion coefficient of crack attribute body B, and c is the fusion coefficient of crack attribute body C.
[0102] Based on the fracture information from multiple wells in the target layer within the target area, the fusion coefficients corresponding to the fracture attribute volumes with different beam domain scale factors are determined. Specifically, using the fracture information of the target layer from three exploration wells in the target area, three of the above equations (2) can be constructed. When the actual fracture information in the target area is determined, Fuse, A, B, and C in the equations are all known quantities. By solving these equations, the corresponding fusion coefficients a, b, and c of the fracture attribute volumes with different beam domain scale factors can be obtained.
[0103] Based on multiple crack attribute bodies A, B, C and their respective fusion coefficients a, b, c, the fused crack attribute body Fuse can be determined.
[0104] In this invention, the determination of the horizontal stress difference ratio of the geostress includes: obtaining the vertical stress by integrating the overburden density of the target area; determining the transverse and longitudinal stresses based on the vertical stress, Poisson's ratio, and flexibility tensor; and determining the horizontal stress difference ratio based on the transverse and longitudinal stresses.
[0105] In an embodiment of the present invention, the vertical stress σ is obtained by integrating the overburden density of the target area. z The following formula (3) is used to calculate the transverse stress σ based on the vertical stress, Poisson's ratio, and compliance tensor of the target region. x and longitudinal stress σ y Based on the calculated transverse and longitudinal stresses, the horizontal stress difference ratio DHSR of the ground stress is obtained by using the following formula (4).

[0110] In an embodiment of the present invention, the brittleness and Young's modulus of the target region are determined by pre-stack seismic inversion, and the tensile strength and fracture toughness of the target region are obtained. After obtaining the relevant data, based on the obtained brittleness, Young's modulus, tensile strength and fracture toughness of the target region, the compressibility index of the target region is calculated by the following formula (5).
[0111]

[0113] In this invention, fusing the fused fracture density model, the geostress fracture density model, and the compressible fracture density model to obtain a multi-attribute fused fracture activation intensity model to characterize the fracture activation intensity of the target area includes: determining a target fused fracture density model based on the fused fracture density model and its corresponding fusion coefficient; determining a target geostress fracture density model based on the geostress fracture density model and its corresponding fusion coefficient; determining a target compressible fracture density model based on the compressible fracture density model and its corresponding fusion coefficient; and obtaining a multi-attribute fused fracture activation intensity model to characterize the fracture activation intensity of the target area by fusing the target fused fracture density model, the target geostress fracture density model, and the target compressible fracture density model.
[0114] In an embodiment of the present invention, by solving the fracture information of multiple wells in the target section within the target area, the fusion coefficients corresponding to the fused fracture density model, the geostress fracture density model, and the fracturing fracture density model are obtained. After obtaining the fusion coefficients corresponding to the fused fracture density model, the geostress fracture density model, and the fracturing fracture density model, the multi-attribute fused fracture activation intensity model is calculated using the following formula (6).

The method uses multi-attribute fusion technology to fuse these three models together, and uses the fused model to assess the ease of activation of artificial fracture networks during hydraulic fracturing. This improves the accuracy of identifying the ease of activation of artificial fracture networks during hydraulic fracturing, and facilitates guidance for subsequent horizontal well deployment and fracturing optimization.

Figure 3 The method mainly relies on 3D seismic prediction results, without considering the role of actual drilling, resulting in low characterization accuracy. Figure 4 To comprehensively consider well interpolation, structural constraints, and fracture intensity based on three-dimensional seismic properties, this method compensates for... Figure 2 , Figure 3 The two methods have shortcomings, as they do not consider the influence of factors such as stress. Based on this, the present invention considers the influence of stress and fracturability on the crack activation intensity, further improving method 4.
