Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this specification relate to the technical field of oil and gas extraction, and in particular to a method for evaluating the compressibility of a tight reservoir based on a cyclic loading and unloading test. Background Art

[0002] Tight reservoirs refer to reservoirs with low permeability such as sandstone, carbonate rock, mixed rock, tuff and shale. Tight reservoir compressibility refers to the ability of shale reservoirs to form complex fracture networks during fracturing development. Since shale gas reservoirs have low porosity and permeability, they can only be effectively developed through horizontal well volume fracturing transformation. According to field experience, when shale compressibility is good, complex fracture networks are easily generated during fracturing, and the production capacity of shale gas wells after fracturing is relatively high. When shale compressibility is poor, shale is prone to plastic deformation during fracturing, and complex fracture networks are not easily generated. The production capacity of shale gas wells after fracturing is relatively low. By evaluating the compressibility of reservoirs, the permeability and gas storage capacity of underground rocks can be predicted, thereby determining the distribution and reserves of oil and gas reservoirs, which in turn helps geologists and petroleum engineers develop more effective exploration and development strategies and improve the efficiency and success rate of resource extraction.

[0003] With the increasing demand for the development of unconventional oil and gas resources, efficient and accurate assessment of the compressibility of reservoir rocks has become the key to improving the efficiency of hydraulic fracturing. At present, most reservoir compressibility evaluation methods are based on a single loading test, which is difficult to accurately reflect the true performance of the reservoir under complex geological stress conditions, resulting in low accuracy in the evaluation of tight reservoir compressibility. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a tight reservoir compressibility evaluation method that can accurately reflect the true performance of the reservoir under complex geological stress conditions, thereby improving the accuracy of the tight reservoir compressibility evaluation and providing a basis for judging whether the reservoir is suitable for fracturing transformation.

[0066] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of this specification provides a method for evaluating the compressibility of a tight reservoir based on a cyclic loading and unloading test, the method comprising:

[0067] S101: placing the dense rock sample in a compression testing machine, performing multiple cyclic loading and unloading tests at a preset frequency based on a preset confining pressure, and recording stress and strain data generated by each cyclic loading and unloading test;

[0068] S102: drawing a stress-strain curve according to the stress-strain data, wherein the stress-strain curve consists of a loading curve and an unloading curve;

[0071] S105: Evaluate the compressibility of the dense rock sample according to the compressibility characteristic value.

[0072] The embodiment of this specification performs multiple cyclic loading and unloading tests on dense rock samples under preset confining pressure and preset frequency, thereby analyzing the cyclic loading and unloading behavior of dense rock samples under simulated geological conditions, and then generates a stress-strain curve based on the stress-strain data generated in each test, from which the stress-strain characteristics of the dense rock sample are analyzed, and the area ratio of the hysteresis loop of the curve is calculated, which is used as an evaluation index of the rock compressibility. Therefore, the above scheme can more comprehensively reflect the true performance of the reservoir under complex geological stress conditions, thereby improving the accuracy of the evaluation of the compressibility of the dense reservoir, and providing a basis for judging whether the reservoir is suitable for fracturing transformation.

[0073] In the embodiments of this specification, the dense rock sample can be a standard core cylindrical rock sample with a diameter of 25 mm and a length of 50 mm. Obtaining a core cylinder of this size usually involves a drilling process to extract the original core from the underground rock, and then use professional cutting equipment in the laboratory or on-site to cut it into a cylindrical sample of standard size. During the cutting process, it is necessary to ensure the surface finish and flatness of the core to facilitate subsequent testing and analysis. Due to its moderate size, the standard core cylinder of φ25mm×50mm is suitable for experiments such as permeability testing, porosity analysis, rock microstructure observation, and compressibility testing. Through these tests, the oil storage capacity, permeability and microstructural characteristics of the rock can be understood, providing a scientific basis for the evaluation and exploitation of oil and gas resources.

[0074] In some embodiments, the compression tester can be a uniaxial compression tester or a triaxial compression tester. The main difference between uniaxial compression and triaxial compression is the direction and amount of the applied force. Uniaxial compression refers to applying axial pressure to the sample in one direction, that is, the direction of the maximum principal stress, while the stress in the other directions is zero. Its test device is simple, low-cost, easy to operate, and can perform high-temperature and high-pressure tests, with a wide range of applications. Triaxial compression applies external pressure to uniformly squeeze the rock sample in three mutually perpendicular directions, simulating a more complex stress state to more fully understand the mechanical properties of the rock sample. In practical applications, appropriate compression conditions can be selected according to the research purpose and rock sample characteristics.

[0075] In some embodiments, a standard core cylinder of φ25mm×50mm is placed in a triaxial compression testing machine, and multiple cyclic loading and unloading tests are performed based on a preset confining pressure and a preset frequency. The loading and unloading test is a test method for testing the mechanical response and performance changes of rock samples under different stress conditions. In the loading stage, the test machine gradually increases the pressure applied to the rock sample to observe and record the deformation and stress changes of the rock sample. In the unloading stage, the applied pressure is gradually reduced to observe the deformation recovery and stress release of the rock sample during the unloading process. By comparing the data during the loading and unloading processes, the elasticity, plasticity and possible damage or failure mechanisms of the rock sample can be evaluated. Through multiple cyclic loading and unloading tests, the stress change characteristics of rocks under complex geological conditions can be simulated, providing a scientific basis for the evaluation of rock compressibility. By recording the stress-strain data generated in each cyclic loading and unloading test, the corresponding stress-strain curve can be drawn to reflect the relationship between stress and strain of the rock under the action of external force. The abscissa of the stress-strain curve represents strain, that is, the degree of deformation of the rock sample under stress, represented by ε, and the ordinate of the curve represents stress, that is, the force per unit area of ​​the rock sample, represented by σ.

[0076] Reference Figure 2As shown in the figure, each stress-strain curve consists of a loading curve and an unloading curve, where the loading curve represents the process of the deformation of the dense rock sample changing with the gradual increase of the external force, and the unloading curve represents the process of the deformation of the dense rock sample changing with the gradual decrease of the external force. When the rock sample is loaded to the set value of the axial strain, the path of the unloading curve does not follow the curve during loading, but is slightly lower than the loading curve when unloading. When unloading to the set value, a certain amount of irreversible plastic deformation occurs, which indicates that elastic deformation and plastic deformation occur simultaneously during loading. When the next loading and unloading test is continued, the reloading curve and the unloading curve intersect to form a closed loop. The closed loop is a specific part of the stress-strain curve obtained under the reciprocating action of the cyclic force, which reflects the deformation characteristics, stiffness degradation and energy consumption of the rock sample during repeated stress. When the rock sample has elastic-plastic properties and the stress is greater than a certain level, residual deformation will occur during unloading, that is, the load is zero but the deformation does not return to zero. This phenomenon is called "hysteresis", so the closed loop is called a hysteresis loop. A closed loop formed by an unloading curve obtained from a first cyclic loading and unloading test and a loading curve obtained from a next cyclic loading and unloading test is marked as a first hysteresis loop; a closed loop formed by a loading curve obtained from a last cyclic loading and unloading test and an unloading curve obtained from a previous cyclic loading and unloading test is marked as a second hysteresis loop, the area of ​​the first hysteresis loop and the area of ​​the second hysteresis loop are calculated, a compressibility characteristic value is obtained according to the area of ​​the first hysteresis loop and the area of ​​the second hysteresis loop, and the compressibility of the dense rock sample is evaluated according to the compressibility characteristic value.

[0077] Specifically, the area of ​​the first hysteresis loop and the area of ​​the second hysteresis loop are calculated by the following formula:

[0078]

[0079] Among them, s 1 is the area of ​​the first hysteresis loop, s 2 is the area of ​​the second hysteresis loop, ε d1,max is the maximum strain on the first hysteresis loop; ε d1,min is the minimum strain on the first hysteresis loop; ε d2,max is the maximum strain on the second hysteresis loop; ε d2,min is the minimum strain on the second hysteresis loop; σ i1 is the stress of the loading process on the first hysteresis loop; σ u1 is the stress of the unloading process on the first hysteresis loop; σ i2 is the stress of the loading process on the second hysteresis loop; σ u2 is the stress of the unloading process on the second hysteresis loop.

[0080] During the loading test, it is assumed that there is no energy exchange between the test system and the outside world, and all the energy input by the test system acts on the rock sample, and the heat energy generated between the rock and the system and inside the rock is ignored. Therefore, under the action of cyclic loading and unloading, the total strain energy of the rock increases continuously during the process of loading to the predetermined value, which is converted into elastic energy and plastic energy. When unloading to the specified load, the elastic energy stored in the rock sample is continuously released, and the plastic energy is consumed in the form of plastic deformation. From the calculation formula of the hysteresis loop area, it can be seen that the area enclosed by the unloading curve and the strain axis in the hysteresis loop represents the energy released by the rock in the macroscopic state from the A stress-strain state to the B stress-strain state, and the area enclosed by the loading curve and the strain axis in the hysteresis loop represents the energy required for the rock to be loaded from the B stress-strain state to the A stress-strain state, and the difference between the two represents the energy dissipated by the rock in the conversion between the A and B states. The dissipated energy is dissipated in the form of friction between rock particles and the development of microcracks, and its size is the area of ​​the hysteresis loop. The greater the difference in the area of ​​the two hysteresis loops, the more developed the natural cracks inside the rock are, the better the pore structure is, and the easier it is to store oil and gas. Therefore, the compressibility of the rock sample can be evaluated by obtaining the compressibility characteristic value based on the area of ​​the first hysteresis loop and the area of ​​the second hysteresis loop. The larger the compressibility characteristic value, the better the compressibility of the rock sample. Specifically, the compressibility characteristic value can be calculated according to the following formula:

[0081]

[0082] Among them, α is the compressibility characteristic value, s 1 is the area of ​​the first hysteresis loop, s 2 is the area of ​​the second hysteresis loop.

[0083] In order to verify the feasibility of using the compressibility characteristic value to evaluate the compressibility of rock samples, in the embodiment of this specification, two sandstone standard cylindrical cores with a diameter of 25 mm and a height of 50 mm were placed in a triaxial press respectively. The compressive strength of the two sandstone standard cylindrical cores was different. Under a confining pressure of 10 MPa, 100 cycles of loading and unloading were performed. Each time, the rock was loaded to 50% of its compressive strength and then unloaded to its initial state. The loading and unloading frequency was 1 Hz. The stress-strain data generated by each cyclic loading and unloading test were accurately recorded. The areas of the first hysteresis loop and the second hysteresis loop of the two sandstone standard cylindrical cores were calculated according to formula (1). The compressibility characteristic values ​​of the two sandstone standard cylindrical cores were obtained. The comparison results are shown in Table 1.

[0084] Table 1

[0085] serial number Compressive strength(MPa) <![CDATA[s 1 ]]> <![CDATA[s 2 ]]> Compressibility characteristic value 1 136.18 136.92 65.33 0.53 2 79.5 81.79 50.71 0.38

[0086] In some embodiments, through a large number of tests, it is known that the compressibility characteristic value of the rock sample is between 0.4-0.6, indicating that the rock sample has good compressibility, while when it is less than 0.4, it indicates that the rock sample has poor compressibility. From the results in Table 1, it can be seen that the compressibility characteristic value of the No. 1 sandstone standard cylindrical core is 0.53, which is within the range of 0.4-0.6 and is greater than the No. 2 sandstone standard cylindrical core. Therefore, the compressibility of the No. 1 sandstone standard cylindrical core is better than that of the No. 2 sandstone standard cylindrical core.

[0087] In some embodiments, the method for determining the preset confining pressure, the preset frequency and the number of cycles includes:

[0088] The preset confining pressure, preset frequency and number of cycles are continuously adjusted until the difference between the first hysteresis loop area and the second hysteresis loop area in the corresponding stress-strain curve exceeds a preset threshold.

[0089] Since different types of rocks have different characteristics, the confining pressure, frequency and number of cycles required for loading and unloading tests need to be adjusted according to different rocks. For different types of rocks, set different numbers of cyclic loading and unloading tests, confining pressures, frequencies and loads, etc., until the difference in the area of ​​the first hysteresis loop and the second hysteresis loop can be intuitively seen through the stress-strain curve. Specifically, the threshold can be set to determine whether the confining pressure, frequency, number of cycles and load meet the test conditions.

[0090] In some embodiments, in order to further improve the accuracy of the evaluation of the compressibility of dense rock samples, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the stress-strain curve of each cyclic loading and unloading test is summarized to obtain a total stress-strain curve, and then the elastic modulus of the dense rock sample in the elastic deformation stage is calculated according to the total stress-strain curve, and the compressibility of the dense rock sample is evaluated by combining the elastic modulus and the compressibility characteristic value. The calculation formula of the elastic modulus is as follows:

[0091]

[0092] Among them, E d represents the elastic modulus, σ d,max represents the maximum stress on any hysteresis loop on the total stress-strain curve, σ d,min represents the minimum stress on any hysteresis loop on the total stress-strain curve, ε d,max Represents σ d,max The corresponding strain, ε d,min Represents σ d,min In some embodiments, any hysteresis loop on the total stress-strain curve is a closed loop formed by the intersection of the loading curve and the unloading curve obtained from any two consecutive cyclic loading and unloading tests.

[0093] The elastic modulus is a physical quantity used to describe the elasticity of an object. It indicates the proportional relationship between stress and strain of an object in the elastic deformation stage. Specifically, when an external force is applied to a rock sample, the rock sample will change its shape, i.e., deform. The elastic modulus describes the ratio of stress to strain in the corresponding direction under this unidirectional stress state, reflecting the difficulty of compressing the rock sample. The larger the elastic modulus, the more difficult it is to compress the rock sample. The elastic modulus and hysteresis loop reflect the mechanical properties of the rock sample from different perspectives. The elastic modulus mainly focuses on the stiffness of the rock sample within the elastic range, while the hysteresis loop focuses on the energy dissipation and deformation recovery ability of the rock sample under cyclic loading and unloading. By comprehensively considering these two parameters, the compressibility of the rock sample can be more comprehensively evaluated. For example, a dense rock sample may have a high elastic modulus, i.e., it is difficult to be compressed, but if its hysteresis loop area is large, it means that it can dissipate more energy under cyclic loading and may still have good compressibility.
