Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of tight oil and gas development, and in particular to a comprehensive compressibility evaluation method for thin interbedded tight reservoirs. Background Art

[0002] Tight reservoirs are widely distributed around the world, but due to the existence of multiple layers in the upper vertical section, thin reservoir thickness, strong heterogeneity, and the "many, scattered, and complex" problems of thin interlayer reservoirs, the effect of thin interlayer fracturing development is relatively limited, and it is difficult to achieve the mobilization of all production profiles in one construction. At present, for thin interlayer fracturing, the main methods formed on site are general fracturing, staged fracturing, and bridge plug staged fracturing, but the specific construction process on site faces problems such as weak natural energy, low production, and rapid decline, so the economic benefits are not very ideal.

[0003] Although thin interlayer reservoirs have the characteristics of low porosity and low permeability, there are usually differences in physical and mechanical properties between thin layers and interlayers. Therefore, the division of layers can be achieved through detailed logging interpretation, and similar layers can achieve better development results by using similar fracturing methods. However, the current division of layers in the development of thin interlayer reservoirs is mainly based on reservoir properties such as oil layer physics, ignoring the influence of the mechanical and stress properties of the thin interlayer itself on fracturing transformation. In order to effectively improve the efficiency of hydraulic fracturing in thin interlayer reservoirs and reduce the blindness of hydraulic fracturing construction, the formation of a fracturing process method that matches the reservoir has always been one of the research hotspots in the fracturing transformation of thin interlayers.

[0004] During the thin interlayer hydraulic fracturing process, due to the rock mechanics and stress constraints between the reservoir layers, the expansion of the fracture height is always extended. As the interlayer stress difference increases, the expansion and extension of hydraulic fracturing will be greatly restricted. At this time, the expansion of the hydraulic fracture height may be extremely limited, and the effective penetration of the fracture cannot be achieved. The number of production layers inside the entire thin interlayer is small, so the final fracture expansion volume is limited, resulting in unstable overall production. Therefore, it is extremely important to select the appropriate perforation layer for thin interlayer fracturing to achieve effective production of more production layers.

[0005] From the perspective of engineering compressibility, reservoir brittleness is one of the key parameters affecting the fracturing of thin interlayer reservoirs, among which Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are the key parameters affecting the brittleness. The higher the Young's modulus of the rock and the lower the Poisson's ratio, the stronger the rock brittleness. In addition, the fracture toughness of the rock will also affect the expansion and extension of the cracks, which can characterize the ability of the rock cracks to expand forward. Generally, the smaller the fracture toughness parameter, the more conducive it is to the continuous expansion of the rock, and ultimately help to form a more complex fracture network.

[0006] Reservoir compressibility is extremely necessary for optimizing the fracturing layer of tight reservoirs and enhancing the pertinence and effectiveness of fracturing development. In the past, the compressibility evaluation model mainly modeled and evaluated the reservoir compressibility from the perspectives of brittleness index, fracture toughness parameter, and intralayer stress parameter. Among them, brittleness index and fracture toughness are generally positive indicators, and intralayer stress parameter is generally a negative indicator. However, most of the compressibility evaluation models are mainly for thicker reservoirs, and less consideration is given to the differences in mechanical and stress properties of thin interlayers. The mechanical and stress differences between layers will have a greater impact on the compressibility of thin interlayers. In addition, the same extreme difference processing method is used when processing each parameter, and it cannot effectively guide the optimization of thin interlayer fracturing layers on site.

[0007] In summary, there are three urgent problems that need to be solved in the modeling and evaluation of the compressibility of thin interlayer tight reservoirs: (1) It is necessary to take into account the mechanical and stress differences between the reservoir and interlayer in the entire reservoir compressibility evaluation model; (2) The extension of fracture height is a key indicator factor affecting the overall compressibility evaluation effect, and the interlayer stress factor is a key indicator affecting the extension of fracture height; (3) How to normalize the evaluation indicators in the comprehensive compressibility model of thin interlayers and scientifically determine the relevant weights is of great significance to the final compressibility results. Summary of the invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and provide a comprehensive compressibility evaluation method for thin interbedded tight reservoirs, so as to overcome the problem that the existing model cannot fully consider the influence of parameters such as interlayer rock mechanics and stress on fracture height expansion.
