Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of oil exploration and development, and particularly to a method and device for predicting the brittleness of shale oil reservoirs based on stress-strain curves. Background Art

[0002] As an important resource in the energy industry, the exploration and development of shale oil and gas have always received extensive attention from scholars at home and abroad. Due to the characteristics of low porosity, low permeability, and poor fluidity of shale reservoirs, it is difficult to obtain industrial production capacity under natural conditions. The key to realizing large-scale reserve increase and production construction of such reservoirs is hydraulic fracturing to create fractures. In addition to the degree of natural fracture development and the magnitude of the horizontal stress difference, the brittleness of the reservoir is also a main controlling factor that cannot be ignored. Practice has proved that the higher the brittleness of the formation, the easier it is to be fully transformed during artificial fracturing, thereby forming a complex fracture network and achieving the purpose of increasing production.

[0003] At present, there are many brittleness evaluation methods at home and abroad, mainly including those based on strength, hardness, firmness, composition analysis, stress-strain curves, elastic parameters, etc. Different methods have different definitions of brittleness.

[0004] The brittleness evaluation based on strength mainly uses the basic strength parameters of rocks to qualitatively reflect their brittleness characteristics. The defect is that it is not sensitive in quantitative evaluation; the brittleness evaluation based on stress-strain curves is mainly measured through uniaxial or triaxial experiments, and the brittleness is evaluated based on the stress-strain curve morphology during the whole process from loading to failure. This method is currently the most intuitive and effective method for evaluating the brittleness degree of rocks. The defect is that due to the heterogeneity of underground rocks and the high cost of coring, the efficiency of targeted experimental measurement is low; the brittleness evaluation based on mineral composition mainly uses the content of brittle minerals in rocks to obtain the brittleness index. The defect is that it does not consider the difference in the contribution of different minerals to brittleness and the influence of factors such as pores, particle size, and cementation degree on the brittleness of rocks; the brittleness evaluation based on elastic parameters mainly uses Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio to characterize the relative brittleness of rocks. The higher Young's modulus and the lower Poisson's ratio, the greater the brittleness. This method has strong practicability. The defect is that in the traditional brittleness evaluation model, it is considered that the weight coefficients of Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are the same, and this understanding has no theoretical basis.

[0005] The present disclosure provides a method and device for predicting the brittleness of shale oil reservoirs based on stress-strain curves to solve the problems of high experimental cost, low measurement efficiency, unclear weight coefficient ratio, etc. in the previous prediction of the brittleness of shale oil reservoirs, resulting in inaccurate prediction results.

[0066] The method for predicting the brittleness of shale oil reservoirs based on stress-strain curves provided by the embodiments of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0067] Step S01: Obtain the stress-strain curves, logging data, and seismic data of typical shale samples in the study area.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the stress-strain curves of the whole process from loading to failure can be obtained by performing triaxial compression tests on typical shale samples in the study area.

[0069] Figure 2 It is the cross plot of the stress σ-strain ε curve during the triaxial compression test of the shale sample from loading to failure. The abscissa is the strain and the ordinate is the stress. The instrument used for stress-strain testing is the MR-RM3000 triaxial rock mechanics measurement system. This system adopts the design of ball screw and can realize mechanical pressurization with constant stress or strain control. The stress acquisition system includes a confining pressure measurement sensor, a deviator stress measurement sensor, and a pore pressure sensor. The strain acquisition system includes a pair of axial linear differential transformers for measuring axial deformation and a cantilever bridge for measuring two pairs of radial deformations in the orthogonal direction. The diameter and length of the test sample are 38mm and 50mm respectively, and both ends of the sample are manually ground to a precision of ±0.25mm.

[0070] Step S02: Determine the correlation coefficients between Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio and the brittleness evaluation index according to the stress-strain curves.

[0071] In the present disclosure, the method for determining the correlation coefficients of Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and the brittleness evaluation index according to the stress-strain curve includes: determining Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio parameters, and a brittleness evaluation index considering the magnitude and rate of post-peak stress drop according to the stress-strain curve; and determining the correlation coefficients of Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio with the brittleness evaluation index according to the brittleness evaluation index, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio parameters respectively.

[0072] In the present disclosure, the method for determining a brittleness evaluation index considering the magnitude and rate of post-peak stress drop according to the stress-strain curve includes: determining a brittleness evaluation index considering the magnitude and rate of post-peak stress drop according to the stress-strain curve by using a brittleness evaluation index calculation formula; wherein, the brittleness evaluation index calculation formula is:

[0073]

[0074]

[0075]

[0076] In the formula: σ A is the peak strength of the stress-strain curve, σ B is the residual strength of the stress-strain curve, |k AB | is the absolute value of the slope of the line connecting the peak strength and the residual strength. Taking the logarithm with base 10 and dividing by 10 is to convert it to the range of 0 to 1. B1 is the magnitude of the post-peak stress drop, B2 is the rate of the post-peak stress drop, and B3 is the constructed brittleness evaluation index.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, through the stress-strain curve morphology obtained in step S01 during the loading to failure process, the brittle characteristics of the rock can be quantitatively evaluated. If its strength can rapidly decrease to a very small value after the peak, it indicates a high degree of rock brittleness. If the strength decreases slowly after the peak and the residual strength is still very high, it indicates a low degree of rock brittleness. Based on this principle, according to formulas (1) and (2), the magnitude B1 of the post-peak stress drop and the rate B2 of the post-peak stress drop can be determined respectively, and then substituting them into formula (3) can obtain the brittleness evaluation index B3 considering the magnitude B1 of the post-peak stress drop and the rate B2 of the post-peak stress drop. The brittleness evaluation index B3 reflects the brittle degree of the underground rock. The greater the stress drop and the faster the rate, the higher the brittleness.

[0078] In the present disclosure, the method for determining Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio parameters according to the stress-strain curve includes: on the axial compression and axial strain curve, select the strain curve corresponding to the range of the predetermined compressive strength for linear fitting to determine the regression formula of Young's modulus, and determine Young's modulus according to the regression formula of Young's modulus; on the radial strain and axial strain curve, select the strain curve corresponding to the range of the predetermined compressive strength for linear fitting to determine the regression formula of Poisson's ratio, and determine the Poisson's ratio parameter according to the regression formula of Poisson's ratio.

[0079] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in addition to being able to evaluate the brittleness of rocks, the stress-strain curve can also obtain Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio parameters; Young's modulus is the ratio of axial stress to axial strain, and Poisson's ratio is the opposite of the ratio of radial strain to axial strain.

[0080] Young's modulus is obtained through the cross-plot of axial compression and axial strain in the stress-strain curve; on the cross-plot of axial compression and axial strain, select the relatively linear segment corresponding to the range of the predetermined compressive strength for linear fitting to determine the regression formula of Young's modulus; among them, the range of the predetermined tensile strength can be selected as the relatively linear segment near the 50% pressure point of the compressive strength (axial compression) for fitting to obtain the axial strain coefficient in the fitting formula, which is Young's modulus.

[0081] Figure 3 This is the cross-plot of axial compression and axial strain of the shale sample in this embodiment. Among them, the black thin solid line is the curve of the change relationship between axial compression and axial strain, the black thick solid line is the calculation segment of Young's modulus, and the dotted line is the fitting straight line of Young's modulus. The fracture pressure of the shale sample is 129.8 MPa. Select the relatively linear segment near the pressure point of 64.9 MPa for axial compression for linear fitting, and the regression formula of Young's modulus is obtained as: y = 19.679x + 8.2013. The slope of the fitting straight line of the two, that is, 19.679, is the Young's modulus of the shale sample.

[0082] Poisson's ratio is obtained through the cross-plot of radial strain and axial strain in the stress-strain curve; on the cross-plot of radial strain and axial strain, select the relatively linear segment corresponding to the range of the predetermined compressive strength for linear fitting to determine the regression formula of Poisson's ratio. Among them, the range of the predetermined tensile strength is also selected as the relatively linear segment near the 50% pressure point of the compressive strength for fitting to obtain the axial strain coefficient in the fitting formula, which is the Poisson's ratio parameter.

[0083] Figure 4 This is the cross-plot of radial strain and axial strain in this embodiment. Among them, the black thin solid line is the curve of the change relationship between radial strain and axial strain, the black thick solid line is the calculation segment of Poisson's ratio, and the dotted line is the fitting straight line of Poisson's ratio. Similarly, select the relatively linear segment near the pressure point of 64.9 MPa for linear fitting, that is Figure 3 the corresponding relatively linear segment selected inFigure 4 For the partial relative linear segments, after fitting, the regression formula for Young's Poisson's ratio is obtained as: y = -0.0764x + 0.0731. The opposite of the slope of the fitting line between the two, that is, 0.0764, is the Poisson's ratio parameter of this shale sample.

[0084] In the present disclosure, the method for determining the correlation coefficients between the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio and the brittleness evaluation index according to the brittleness evaluation index, the Young's modulus, and the Poisson's ratio parameter includes: performing a statistical crossplot analysis on the brittleness evaluation index and the Young's modulus to determine the correlation coefficient between the Young's modulus and the brittleness evaluation index; performing a statistical crossplot analysis on the brittleness evaluation index and the Poisson's ratio parameter to determine the correlation coefficient between the Poisson's ratio and the brittleness evaluation index.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the obtained brittleness evaluation index, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio parameter, a statistical crossplot analysis is performed. Figure 5 is a crossplot of the Young's modulus and the brittleness evaluation index. In Figure 5 , the points are the measured Young's modulus and brittleness of the core, and the straight line is the linear fitting line regressed based on the measured data points of the core; Figure 6 is a crossplot of the Poisson's ratio and the brittleness evaluation index. In Figure 6 , the points are the measured Poisson's ratio and brittleness of the core, and the straight line is the linear fitting line regressed based on the measured data points of the core; It can be seen from Figure 5 and 6 that the Poisson's ratio has a better correlation with the brittleness evaluation index. The correlation coefficient R 2 is 0.63, and the correlation coefficient between the Young's modulus and the brittleness evaluation index is only 0.38, indicating that the Poisson's ratio is more sensitive to the brittleness of the shale reservoir than the Young's modulus.

[0086] Step S03: Determine the weight factors of the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio according to the correlation coefficients between the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio and the brittleness evaluation index, and determine the brittleness prediction model of the shale reservoir according to the weight factors.

[0087] In the present disclosure, the method for determining the weight factors of the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio according to the correlation coefficients between the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio and the brittleness evaluation index includes: determining the weight factors of the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio according to the correlation coefficients between the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio parameters and the brittleness evaluation index by using the weight factor calculation formula;

[0088] Among them, the weight factor calculation formula includes:

[0089]

[0090] c + d = 1; (5)

[0091] Where: a is the correlation coefficient between the Poisson's ratio and the brittleness evaluation index, b is the correlation coefficient between the Young's modulus and the brittleness evaluation index, c is the Poisson's ratio weight coefficient, and d is the Young's modulus weight coefficient.

[0092] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the traditional method for predicting brittleness is to perform weighted averaging to characterize rock brittleness based on the positive normalization of the Young's modulus and the inverse normalization of the Poisson's ratio. Through the analysis of the brittleness sensitivity of shale reservoirs, that is, by respectively determining the correlation coefficients between the Young's modulus and the Poisson's ratio and the brittleness evaluation index, it is found that the Poisson's ratio in the study area is more sensitive to shale brittleness than the Young's modulus. Therefore, the traditional brittleness prediction model, which considers that the Young's modulus and the Poisson's ratio contribute equally to the brittleness index, is not applicable to the shale reservoirs in the study area. To address this issue, the present disclosure scales the weight factors of the Young's modulus and the Poisson's ratio in the traditional brittleness index prediction method in an equal-proportion manner according to the brittleness evaluation index and the correlation coefficients of the Young's modulus and the Poisson's ratio, that is, formulas (4) and (5), and then adds the weight factors to the brittleness prediction model, thereby enabling a more accurate prediction result of the brittleness of shale oil reservoirs.

[0093] In the present disclosure, the method for determining the brittleness prediction model of shale reservoirs according to the weight factors includes: using the brittleness prediction model formula according to the weight factors to determine the brittleness prediction model of shale reservoirs;

[0094] Among them, the brittleness prediction model formula includes:

[0095]

[0096]

[0097] B XZ = c×B ν + d×B E ; (8)

[0098] Where: c is the Poisson's ratio weight coefficient, d is the Young's modulus weight coefficient, E is the Young's modulus, ν is the Poisson's ratio; E min 、E max 、ν min 、ν max are respectively the minimum, maximum Young's modulus and the minimum, maximum Poisson's ratio; B E 、B ν 、B XZ are respectively the normalized Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio brittleness index and the shale reservoir brittleness prediction index established based on the stress-strain curve.

[0099] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, substituting the weight factors of the Poisson's ratio and the Young's modulus determined by formulas (4) and (5) into the brittleness prediction model formula (8), the brittleness prediction model of the shale reservoirs in the study area of the present disclosure can be obtained.

[0100] Step S04: Determine the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio parameters through prestack seismic inversion based on the well logging data and seismic data.

[0101] In the present disclosure, the method for determining the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio parameters through prestack seismic inversion based on the well logging data and seismic data includes: determining the P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, and density through prestack seismic inversion based on the well logging data and seismic data; and determining the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio parameters according to the conversion formulas between the P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, and density and the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio.

[0102] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the prestack seismic inversion technology uses seismic data with different incident angles and well logging curves such as P-wave, S-wave, and density to jointly invert multiple elastic parameters such as P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, and density related to lithology, physical properties, and hydrocarbon-bearing properties. Then, based on the conversion relationships between the P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, density and the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio parameters are calculated. At the same time, the brittleness of the shale in the study area is calculated according to the brittleness prediction model of the shale reservoir in the study area established in step S03.

[0108] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the brittleness of the shale oil reservoir is described based on the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio parameters determined in step S04 and the brittleness value of the shale reservoir in the study area calculated by the brittleness prediction model of the shale reservoir determined in step S03, and the favorable area of the brittleness distribution is preferably selected.

[0109] Figure 7 This is the seismic prediction profile of the brittleness index passing through Well A in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 7The darker part of the color close to black and the lighter part of the color close to white around it in the [description] have a high degree of brittleness, and complex fracture networks are likely to form during fracturing; the remaining gray parts have a low degree of brittleness, and it is not easy to form complex fracture networks during fracturing; the black curve is the actual horizontal well trajectory, the horizontal section length is 1800m, and a total of 32 sections are fractured for oil testing.

[0110] Figure 8 It is a histogram of the number of microseismic events in different fracturing sections of Well A. The area with more microseismic events indicates good fracturing effect. The prediction results show that the brittle degree of Sections 1-22 is high and the fracturability is good. The microseismic monitoring results show that there are many microseismic events in Sections 2-23, which has a good correspondence with the prediction results, indicating the effectiveness of the present invention in predicting the brittleness of shale reservoirs.
