Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medium seepage models, in particular to a method for solving a matrix-natural fracture dual medium seepage model. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, the publication number CN113642272A discloses a method for establishing a shale oil and gas reservoir seepage-horizontal wellbore flow coupling model, including the following steps: setting a shale oil and gas reservoir horizontal well water fracturing to form m fractures; establishing a matrix-natural fracture seepage model; establishing a natural fracture-artificial fracture seepage model; establishing an artificial fracture-wellbore seepage model; establishing a horizontal wellbore flow model; and establishing a shale oil and gas reservoir seepage-horizontal wellbore flow coupling model based on the continuity of pressure and the mass conservation theorem. The present invention finally achieves the establishment of a shale oil and gas reservoir seepage-horizontal wellbore flow model by establishing three seepage models and one flow model, so that the shale oil and gas reservoir situation can be calculated in real time according to the change of time in practice.
[0003] However, there are still the following shortcomings: the above scheme does not take into account the impact of cracks and faults on groundwater seepage, but cracks and faults are important seepage channels in shale oil and gas reservoirs. Cracks and faults, as gaps and broken zones in the medium, have a significant impact on groundwater seepage and may change the direction, speed and path of the seepage channel. The existence of cracks and faults will lead to the unevenness and heterogeneity of the groundwater seepage channel and the incompleteness of the medium seepage model, which will lead to a decrease in the prediction accuracy of the groundwater flow direction, flow velocity and water level change, resulting in a large deviation between the simulation results and the actual situation.

[0133]
[0134] Furthermore, the finite difference method is used to solve the distribution of groundwater pressure field and velocity field under given initial conditions and boundary conditions, and the process of predicting groundwater flow direction, velocity and water level change is as follows:
[0135] Divide the solution area into grids or grid cells, where each grid cell represents a spatial point in the solution domain. This process is called meshing.
[0136] The derivative term in the partial differential equation is replaced by a difference approximation. In the two-dimensional case, the partial derivative can be approximated by the central difference as follows:
[0137]
[0138] Among them, (u i+1,j ) is the quantity to be solved at the grid point (i+1, j), (u i-1,j ) is the quantity to be solved at the grid point (i-1, j), and Δx is the grid spacing;
[0139] Substituting the gridded partial differential equation into the grid points, we get the corresponding difference equation:
[0140]
[0141] Where u is the groundwater pressure, D is the water diffusion coefficient, is the gradient operator, where is the groundwater pressure at the grid point (i, j) at the nth time step, Δt is the time step, Δx and Δy are the space step;
[0142] Using the initial conditions and boundary conditions, the differential equation is used for iterative calculation to solve the pressure and velocity values in the groundwater medium. By analyzing the pressure and velocity values in the groundwater medium, the process of predicting the flow direction, velocity and water level change of groundwater is as follows:
[0143] Gradient analysis of the pressure field:
[0144] The gradient of the pressure field indicates the rate and direction of pressure change. By calculating the gradient of the pressure field in space, the flow direction of groundwater is determined. Groundwater in the high-gradient area of the pressure field flows to the area with lower pressure. Since the direction of groundwater flow is opposite to the direction of the pressure gradient, the flow direction of groundwater is determined.
[0145] Analysis of flow velocity field:
[0146] The velocity field directly provides information about the velocity of groundwater in space. By analyzing the size and direction of the velocity field, the distribution of groundwater velocity can be determined. Areas with larger velocity indicate faster groundwater flow, while areas with smaller velocity indicate slower groundwater flow.
[0147] Inference of water level changes:
[0148] The water level is closely related to the pressure field. As time goes by, the pressure field in the groundwater system will change, leading to changes in the water level. By observing the changes in the pressure field at different time points, the changes in the groundwater level can be inferred. An increase in the pressure field corresponds to an increase in the water level, and a decrease in the pressure field corresponds to a decrease in the water level.
[0149] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0150] The present invention constructs continuity equations of a matrix system and a natural fracture system, motion equations of the seepage velocity of the fracturing return fluid of the matrix system and the natural fracture system, utilizes the influence of fractures and faults on the seepage channel, constructs coefficients that affect the seepage velocity of the fracturing return fluid of the matrix system and the natural fracture system, constructs new motion equations of the fracturing return fluid of the matrix system and the natural fracture system, constructs state equations of the density of the fracturing return fluid of the matrix system and the natural fracture system according to the new motion equations of the seepage velocity of the fracturing return fluid, and obtains the state equations of the porosity of the matrix system and the natural fracture system when the pressure is p0 through Maclaurin series expansion. Equation is used to construct the state equation of the fracturing return fluid, the characteristic equation of the crossflow rate between the fracture medium and the rock medium, and the seepage differential equation of the fracturing return fluid in the matrix medium and the fracture medium. According to the seepage differential equation of the fracturing return fluid in the matrix medium and the fracture medium, the initial conditions of the seepage phenomenon at the initial moment, the inner and outer boundary conditions of the dual media, and the function of the fracture width changing with the spatial position, a matrix-natural fracture dual media seepage model is constructed. The finite difference method is used to solve the distribution of the pressure field and velocity field of groundwater under given initial conditions and boundary conditions, and the flow direction, velocity and water level change of groundwater are predicted. Therefore, by incorporating the influence of cracks and faults on groundwater seepage, according to the seepage differential equation of fracturing return fluid in matrix medium and fracture medium, the initial conditions of seepage phenomenon at the initial moment, the inner and outer boundary conditions of dual media, and the function of crack width changing with spatial position, the groundwater seepage channel is made more uniform and homogeneous, thereby improving the integrity of the seepage model and the prediction accuracy of groundwater flow direction, flow velocity and water level change, avoiding large deviations between simulation results and actual conditions.

[0165] S8. Use the finite difference method to solve the distribution of groundwater pressure field and velocity field under given initial conditions and boundary conditions, and predict the flow direction, velocity and water level changes of groundwater.
[0166] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, there is cross-flow between the fracture system of the shale matrix, so the dual medium seepage process of the fracturing return fluid between the shale matrix and the fracture system is considered. During the hydraulic fracturing process, the horizontal wellbore is blocked from the formation except for the perforation, so the seepage process of the fracturing return fluid through the shale matrix to the horizontal wellbore is ignored. Based on the above considerations, the physical model of the return of fracturing return fluid in shale gas reservoirs selects the matrix-natural fracture coupling model.
[0167] On the basis of the above embodiment, according to the collected porosity of the matrix system and the fracture system, the density of the fracturing flowback fluid at any pressure, the crossflow rate between the fracture medium and the rock medium, and the time data, the continuity equation of the matrix system is constructed, and the formula is as follows:

[0178] v f is the seepage velocity of fracturing flowback fluid in the fracture system (m / s);
[0179] q λ is the cross-flow rate between fracture medium and rock medium (m 3 / s);
[0180] t is time (s).
[0181] The continuity equation is an equation that describes the conservation of mass in a medium. Continuity equations are established for the matrix system and the natural fracture system respectively to describe the transfer and change process of water flow in these two media. The continuity equations of the matrix system and the natural fracture system are usually based on the principle of conservation of mass, considering the inflow, outflow and accumulation of water in different media. The continuity equation can analyze the water flow exchange between the matrix system and the fracture system.
[0182] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the motion equation of the seepage velocity of the fracturing flowback fluid of the matrix system is constructed, and the formula according to which is as follows:

[0189]
[0190] Among them, v f is the seepage velocity of fracturing flowback fluid in natural fracture system (m / s);
[0191] k f is the permeability of the natural fracture system (Dc);
[0192] μ is the viscosity of fracturing flowback fluid (Pa·s);
[0193] p f is the pressure of the natural fracture system (Pa).
[0194] The motion equation of the seepage velocity of fracturing return fluid in the matrix system and the natural fracture system is constructed to describe the variation of the seepage velocity of fracturing return fluid in the matrix system and the natural fracture system over time. The motion equation is intended to take into account the different seepage paths of fracturing return fluid in the dual medium, including seepage inside porous rock blocks, seepage along fractures, and exchange of fracturing return fluid between rock blocks and fractures. By solving the motion equation, the seepage process of fracturing return fluid in the matrix system and the natural fracture system can be simulated, thereby predicting the distribution of seepage velocity at different time points and spatial positions, which is helpful to evaluate the migration path and potential diffusion range of fracturing return fluid.
[0195] On the basis of the above embodiments, the influence of cracks and faults on the seepage channel is used to construct the coefficient affecting the seepage velocity of the fracturing return fluid in the matrix system and the natural fracture system, and the formula is as follows:
[0196] C=C0·f(w,ρ)
[0197] Where, C is the coefficient of seepage velocity;
[0198] C0 is the coefficient of seepage velocity when there are no cracks and faults;
[0199] w is the crack width;
[0200] ρ is the crack density;
[0201] f(w, ρ) is a function of the effect of cracks and faults on the seepage channel.
[0202] The purpose of using the influence of cracks and faults on seepage channels to construct coefficients that affect the seepage velocity of fracturing return fluid in matrix systems and natural fracture systems is: cracks and faults, as gaps and broken zones in the medium, have a significant impact on groundwater seepage. They may change the direction, velocity and path of the seepage channel. The existence of cracks and faults will lead to unevenness and inhomogeneity of groundwater seepage channels. Therefore, when simulating the seepage process in the matrix-crack dual medium, the influence of cracks and faults needs to be considered.
[0203] Specifically, by incorporating the effects of cracks and faults on seepage channels, coefficients that affect the seepage velocity of fracturing flowback fluids in matrix systems and natural fracture systems can be constructed. The coefficients can be used to adjust the motion equation of the seepage velocity of fracturing flowback fluids constructed based on Darcy's law to more accurately reflect the effects of cracks and faults on the seepage velocity.
[0204] The motion equations of the flow velocity of the fracturing return fluid in the matrix system and the natural fracture system and the coefficients of the flow velocity are combined to generate new motion equations of the fracturing return fluid in the matrix system and the natural fracture system, based on the following formula:
[0205] ν m new =C·ν m
[0206] Among them, ν m new is the new seepage velocity of the fracturing flowback fluid in the matrix system (m / s);
[0207] ν f new =C·ν f
[0208] Among them, ν f new is the new seepage velocity of the fracturing flowback fluid in the natural fracture system (m / s).
[0209] On the basis of the above embodiment, the state equation of the density of the fracturing flowback fluid of the matrix system is constructed, and the state equation of the porosity of the matrix system when the pressure is p0 is obtained through the Maclaurin series expansion, and the formula is as follows:

[0215] ρ m is the density of the fracturing flowback fluid in the matrix system (kg / m 3 );
[0216] The state equation of the porosity of the natural fracture system when the pressure is p0 is obtained based on the following formula:
[0217]
[0218] Where ρ0 is the density of the fracturing flowback fluid under pressure p0 (kg / m 3 );
[0219] φ f0 is the porosity of the matrix system at pressure p0;
[0220] C p is the compression coefficient of fracturing flowback fluid;
[0221] C f is the compression factor of the natural fracture system;
[0222] ρ f is the density of fracturing flowback fluid in natural fracture system (kg / m 3 ).
[0223] The purpose of constructing the state equation for the porosity of the matrix system and the natural fracture system is to describe the relationship between the porosity of the matrix system and the natural fracture system and the pressure. Porosity describes the proportion of pore space in the rock or medium, which changes with increasing pressure because the porosity decreases when the rock is compressed. Therefore, the state equation is used to quantify the relationship between porosity and pressure, so as to understand how the pore structure in the medium changes with pressure.
[0224] On the basis of the above embodiment, according to the state equation of the porosity of the matrix system and the natural fracture system, the state equation of the fluid of the fracturing flowback fluid is constructed, and the formula is as follows:
[0225] ρ=ρ0[1+C p (p l -p0)]
[0226] Where ρ is the density of fracturing flowback fluid at any pressure (kg / m 3 );
[0227] ρ0 is the density of the fracturing flowback fluid at pressure p0 (kg / m 3 );
[0228] C p is the compression coefficient of fracturing flowback fluid;
[0229] p l is the pressure of the fracturing flowback fluid (Pa).
[0230] On the basis of the above embodiments, according to the state equation of the density of the fracturing flowback fluid of the matrix system and the natural fracture system and the state equation of the fluid of the fracturing flowback fluid, the characteristic equation of the crosstalk between the fracture medium and the rock medium is constructed, and the formula is as follows:
[0231]
[0232] Among them, q λ is the cross-flow rate between fracture medium and rock medium (m 3 / s);
[0233] ρ0 is the density of the fracturing flowback fluid at pressure p0 (kg / m 3 );
[0234] μ is the viscosity of fracturing flowback fluid (Pa·s);
[0235] p m is the pressure of the matrix system (Pa);
[0236] p f is the pressure of the natural fracture system (Pa).
[0237] The purpose of constructing the characteristic equation of the crossflow rate between fracture medium and rock medium is to quantify the crossflow rate between fracture medium and rock medium and understand the variation law of the crossflow rate under different conditions (such as pressure and temperature), so as to more accurately describe and predict the seepage model.
[0238] Based on the above embodiment, the seepage differential equation of the fracturing flowback fluid in the matrix medium and the fracture medium is obtained according to the following formula:
[0239]

[0241] α is the shape factor;
[0242] is the compressibility factor of the matrix system;
[0243] is the compression factor of the natural fracture system;
[0244] is the second-order partial derivative.
[0245] The purpose of constructing the seepage differential equation of fracturing flowback fluid in matrix media and fracture media is to simulate and predict the changes in parameters such as seepage velocity and pressure distribution of fracturing flowback fluid in the media under different conditions.
[0246] On the basis of the above embodiment, the seepage differential equations of the fracturing flowback fluid in the matrix medium and the fracture medium are converted into the seepage differential equations based on polar coordinates, and the formula is as follows:
[0247]
[0248] The purpose of constructing the seepage differential equation of fracturing return fluid in matrix medium and fracture medium based on polar coordinates is that circular or annular structures can be expressed more naturally under polar coordinates, and fractures often present this geometric shape, and the equation in polar coordinate form can usually simplify the form of the seepage differential equation of fracturing return fluid in matrix medium and fracture medium. Through polar coordinate transformation, the original two-dimensional space problem can be converted into a one-dimensional problem, thereby simplifying the solution process of the mathematical model.
[0249] On the basis of the above embodiment, according to the seepage differential equation in polar coordinate form, the initial condition of the seepage phenomenon at the initial time is obtained. The initial condition is the value of the pressure in the entire area at the given initial time t=τ (usually τ=0), and the formula is as follows:
[0250] p f (r,0)=p m (r,0)=p0
[0251] Where, p0 is the original reservoir pressure (Pa);
[0252] If the flow rate of fracturing return fluid per unit time is q, the internal boundary conditions of the dual medium at the initial time of the seepage phenomenon are obtained according to the seepage differential equation in polar coordinate form, based on the following formula:
[0253]
[0254] Among them, p ω is the pressure in the artificial fracture at a distance r from the fracture at time t;
[0255] p f is the pressure of the natural fracture at a distance r from the fracture at time t (Pa);
[0256] p m is the pressure of the matrix at a distance r from the crack at time t (Pa);
[0257] r w is the radius of the crack (m);
[0258] h is the reservoir thickness;
[0259] S is the effective permeability of the fracture;
[0260] B. Seepage between fracture medium and rock medium;
[0261] q Liquid flow rate of external injection / production;
[0262] C is the volumetric elastic coefficient of the system;
[0263] According to the seepage differential equation in polar coordinate form, the outer boundary conditions of the dual medium of the seepage phenomenon at the initial moment are constructed based on the following formula:
[0264]
[0265] The purpose of constructing the initial conditions of the seepage phenomenon at the initial moment, the internal boundary conditions of the dual medium, and the external boundary conditions is to provide a complete input for the groundwater model to simulate the seepage phenomenon in the groundwater system and ensure that the model can accurately reflect the actual geological and hydrological conditions, as well as the interactions at different boundaries.
[0266] On the basis of the above embodiment, a function of crack width changing with spatial position is constructed, and the formula is as follows:
[0267]
[0268] Where w(x, y) is the crack width at position (x, y);
[0269] w0 is the reference crack width;
[0270] (x0, y0) is the position of the crack center;
[0271] σ x and σ y is the standard deviation of the crack in the horizontal and vertical directions.
[0272] Since the function of fracture width variation with spatial position provides a quantitative description of the variation of fracture width with spatial position, the function of fracture width variation with spatial position can be used as part of the model parameters to calibrate and optimize the matrix-natural fracture dual medium seepage model, so as to better capture the actual situation; the function of fracture width variation with spatial position can be used to adjust the scale and morphology of the seepage channel, so as to improve the accuracy of seepage simulation. By accurately describing the spatial variation of fracture width, the movement and transmission process of fluid in the fracture can be more accurately simulated.
[0273] On the basis of the above embodiments, according to the seepage differential equation of fracturing flowback fluid in matrix medium and fracture medium, the initial conditions of the seepage phenomenon at the initial time, the inner boundary conditions and outer boundary conditions of the dual medium, and the function of the fracture width changing with the spatial position, the matrix-natural fracture dual medium seepage model is constructed as follows:
[0274]
[0275] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the process of using the finite difference method to solve the distribution of the pressure field and velocity field of groundwater under given initial conditions and boundary conditions, and predicting the flow direction, velocity and water level change of groundwater is as follows:
[0276] Divide the solution area into grids or grid cells, where each grid cell represents a spatial point in the solution domain. This process is called meshing.
[0277] The derivative term in the partial differential equation is replaced by a difference approximation. In the two-dimensional case, the partial derivative can be approximated by the central difference as follows:
[0278]
[0279] Among them, (u i+1,j ) is the quantity to be solved at the grid point (i+1, j), (u i-1,j ) is the quantity to be solved at the grid point (i-1, j), and Δx is the grid spacing;
[0280] Substituting the gridded partial differential equation into the grid points, we get the corresponding difference equation:
[0281]
[0282] Where u is the groundwater pressure, D is the water diffusion coefficient, is the gradient operator, where is the groundwater pressure at the grid point (i, j) at the nth time step, Δt is the time step, Δx and Δy are the space steps;
[0283] Using the initial conditions and boundary conditions, the differential equation is used for iterative calculation to solve the pressure and velocity values in the groundwater medium. By analyzing the pressure and velocity values in the groundwater medium, the process of predicting the flow direction, velocity and water level change of groundwater is as follows:
[0284] Gradient analysis of the pressure field:
[0285] The gradient of the pressure field indicates the rate and direction of pressure change. By calculating the gradient of the pressure field in space, the flow direction of groundwater can be determined. Groundwater in the high-gradient area of the pressure field flows to the area with lower pressure. Since the direction of groundwater flow is opposite to the direction of the pressure gradient, the flow direction of groundwater can be determined.
[0286] Analysis of flow velocity field:
[0287] The velocity field directly provides information about the velocity of groundwater in space. By analyzing the size and direction of the velocity field, the distribution of groundwater velocity can be determined. Generally, areas with higher velocity indicate faster groundwater flow, while areas with lower velocity indicate slower groundwater flow.
[0288] Inference of water level changes:
[0289] Water level is usually closely related to the pressure field. As time goes by, the pressure field in the groundwater system will change, resulting in changes in the water level. By observing the changes in the pressure field at different time points, the changes in groundwater level can be inferred. An increase in the pressure field corresponds to an increase in the water level, and a decrease in the pressure field corresponds to a decrease in the water level.
