Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a thermal-fluid-solid coupling prediction method for directional perforation hydraulic fracturing initiation pressure, belonging to the technical field of (ultra) deep oil and gas drilling and completion. Background Art
[0002] In the hydraulic fracturing operation of deep (super) shale oil, gas or tight sandstone oil, gas reservoirs, the hydraulic fracturing crack initiation pressure is extremely high and the reservoir transformation efficiency is low due to the large horizontal stress difference and high closing pressure in some areas. For the casing-cement sheath-formation combination formed by casing completion, the cement sheath-casing is not only affected by the in-situ stress field of the formation, but also reacts to the open hole formation rock formed by drilling, resulting in the redistribution of the stress field of the rock around the well. The core parameter for controlling the perforation fracturing initiation pressure, perforation phase angle, perforation depth and fracturing displacement during casing perforation hydraulic fracturing operation - the stress field around the perforation hole is closely related to the casing-cement sheath combination and thermal action (in the process of hydraulic fracturing injection of fracturing fluid, there is a temperature difference between the fracturing fluid and the casing, cement sheath and formation rock, inducing the generation of additional thermal stress), and the thermal fluid-solid coupling of the rock around the hole. However, the linear elastic solution of the surrounding rock of conventional open hole wells cannot reflect the effect of casing-cement sheath-heat coupling on the stress field of the surrounding rock of the well, and thus cannot accurately predict the fracture initiation pressure and related parameters of perforation hydraulic fracturing. Furthermore, when solving the in-plane (related to the r-θ plane) and out-of-plane (related to the rz and θ-z planes) stress and displacement solutions of the casing-cement sheath, the initial in-plane displacement caused by stratum deposition or tectonic movement should be removed. and and the out-of-plane shear initial displacement w 0 impact.
[0003] The thermal-fluid-solid coupling effect mentioned above is reflected in the fact that the perforation operation penetrates the casing and cement ring to form a perforation channel inside the formation. The original forces on the channel wall - pore pressure and radial stress are replaced by the fluid (fracturing fluid) pressure inside the channel, and the shear stress becomes zero. The stress difference (or pressure difference) before and after the formation of the perforation hole causes the rock solid phase to deform, inducing changes in rock permeability and porosity, which in turn affects the flow state of the fluid inside the pores of the formation rock. The pressure gradient reflecting the flow state of the fluid will react on the rock solid phase - resisting its deformation. Furthermore, when the rock pore fluid is heated (such as the fracturing fluid temperature is higher than the original formation temperature), the fluid bears part of the load on the solid phase skeleton due to expansion (note that the rock solid phase has lower expansion than the pore fluid), causing overpressure. Conversely, the cooling effect causes the pore fluid to shrink and cannot "fill" the pore space, causing low pore pressure, which in turn causes the load on the solid phase skeleton to increase. On the other hand, the solid phase skeleton not only generates thermal stress due to thermal expansion and contraction, but the thermal expansion and contraction process will also affect the degree of overpressure or underpressure formation and the seepage process of the porous fluid. In summary, the fracturing process of (ultra) deep high-temperature wells is affected by the pressure difference and temperature difference, resulting in changes in the stress field (displacement field), pressure field and temperature field around the well due to the thermal-fluid-solid coupling effect. Among them, the effective stress around the well (principal stress minus pore pressure) is the prerequisite for controlling the initiation of hydraulic fractures. In this way, it is necessary to introduce a thermal-fluid-solid coupling model to accurately predict the changing laws of the field variables around the well and clarify the multi-field coupling mechanism that affects the initiation of hydraulic fracturing fractures in high-temperature and high-pressure wells.
[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to comprehensively consider the influence of the casing-cement sheath combination and thermal effects on the formation stress field and the field variable solution of the thermal-fluid-solid coupling effect of the rock around the perforation holes, and then establish a method for predicting the initiation pressure of directional perforating hydraulic fracturing and optimize the relevant perforating and fracturing parameters to improve the efficiency of reservoir transformation.
[0005] At present, there are methods to predict the formation fracturing pressure, such as the invention patent with the publication number CN 112177598 A owned by China Petrochemical Corporation, which discloses a method for predicting the formation fracturing pressure taking into account the compressibility of the fracturing fluid. It includes establishing a discretized wellbore model of the flow of wellbore fracturing fluid to obtain the law of the change of bottom hole pressure over time and the law of the change of wellhead pressure over time; establishing a three-dimensional thermal fluid-solid coupling mechanical numerical model of the wellbore-cement sheath-near wellbore wall formation under perforation conditions, obtaining the distribution law of the near wellbore wall stress field and the distribution law of the seepage field during the wellbore pressure holding process, and inverting the formation fracturing time and the wellhead fracturing pressure. This method improves the calculation method of the fracturing pressure and fracturing time of shale gas well hydraulic fracturing, and provides a theoretical basis and design basis for in-depth understanding of the fracturing mechanism of shale gas well hydraulic fracturing and fracturing design.
[0006] The invention patent with publication number CN113109162A belonging to Southwest Petroleum University discloses a method for calculating rock fracturing pressure based on thermal-fluid-solid coupling. It includes determining the basic parameters of the target formation based on well logging data, indoor triaxial compression tests and Brazilian splitting experiments; establishing a rock fracturing pressure calculation model in Laplace space based on thermal-fluid-solid coupling according to the thermal-fluid-solid coupling control equations of the formation rock (i.e., stress balance equation, constitutive equation, transmission equation, mass conservation equation, heat conservation equation), boundary conditions and maximum tensile stress failure criterion; the rock fracturing pressure can be determined by inputting the basic parameters of the target formation through the fracturing pressure calculation model and combining it with the Stehfest numerical inversion method. The advantage of this invention is that it takes into account the coupling relationship between fluid seepage, thermal diffusion and rock deformation in the wellbore; by calculating more accurate formation fracturing pressure, it provides high-precision parameters for fracturing construction design to meet the needs of reservoir evaluation and fracturing transformation guidance.
[0007] Although the above two patents and other existing technical solutions have achieved certain technical effects, they do not provide analytical solutions for the stress field of the surrounding rock of any well type (vertical well, directional well and horizontal well) under non-uniform ground stress conditions under the action of casing-cement sheath-heat coupling, and the analytical solutions for the field variables (stress field and pore pressure field) of the surrounding rock of the perforation channel under the action of thermal fluid-solid coupling. The existing numerical models have convergence problems and low calculation efficiency. Compared with analytical methods, they cannot quickly predict the initiation angle and dynamic initiation pressure of directional perforation hydraulic fracturing, optimize the perforation depth, phase angle and construction displacement. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a thermal fluid-solid coupling prediction method for directional perforation initiation pressure that integrates the coupling of casing-cement sheath-formation. Summary of the invention
[0008] The present invention mainly overcomes the deficiencies in the prior art and proposes a thermal-fluid-solid coupling prediction method for the initiation pressure of directional perforation hydraulic fracturing.
[0009] The technical solution provided by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a method for predicting the thermal-fluid-solid coupling of the fracturing initiation pressure of directional perforating hydraulic fracturing, comprising the following steps:

[0018] Step 9: Integrate the thermal-fluid-solid coupling solution of the rock field variables around the directional perforation holes and the rock tensile cracking criterion to predict the cracking angle and dynamic cracking pressure of directional perforation hydraulic fracturing, and optimize the perforation depth, phase angle and construction displacement.

[0025] A further technical solution is that the analytical solution of the stress field of the rock around the directional well in step 7 under the action of casing-cement sheath-heat coupling is:
[0026]

[0028] A further technical solution is that the calculation formula for the field variables (stress field and pore pressure field) of the surrounding rock of the directional well perforation channel under the effect of thermal fluid-solid coupling in step eight is:
[0029] T p =T0+Tp(a)
[0030] p p =p p +p p(a) +p p(d)
[0031]
[0032]
[0033] Where: T0 is the original formation temperature, °C; p p is the original pore pressure of the formation, MPa; θ′ is the circumferential angle of the perforation channel, °; the stress field components around the perforation channel include radial stress Tangential stress Axial stress Shear stress in the θ′-z plane r-θ′ plane and the shear stress in the zr plane MPa. The intermediate quantities P′0 and S′0 are respectively and MPa. The intermediate value of the conversion angle θ′ with the perforation channel as the research object r definition °.
[0034] A further technical solution is that the tensile cracking criterion in step nine is:
[0035] σ′3=-S t
[0036] Where, the tensile strength of rock S t Defined as S t =σ c / ω, MPa; σ c is the uniaxial compressive strength, MPa; ω is the conversion coefficient ω. σ′3 is the minimum effective principal stress around the perforation channel, MPa.
[0037] A further technical solution is that the process of determining the dynamic fracturing pressure of the directional perforating well in step nine is as follows:
[0038] Definition of well inclination angle γ bi =i°(i=0:i:90), azimuth angle Ω bj =j°(j=0:j:360), wellbore angle (perforation phase angle)θ k = k°(k=0:k:360), circumferential angle of perforation channel θ′ m = m° (m = 0: m: 360), used to determine the fracture initiation pressure required for rock to undergo tensile fracture in, The binary method can be used to solve the problem. The specific steps are as follows: ① Under these conditions, the initial upper and lower limits p min , p max Substituting the tensile rupture criterion, we can obtain V min and V max (where p max can be set to be greater than the three principal in-situ stresses (σ H , σ h , σ v ) maximum value); ② Determine V min and V max Whether they are of different signs, take p1=(p min +p max ) / 2, update the upper and lower limits and Then, the stress around the perforation channel is introduced and combined with the tensile fracture criterion to obtain and Repeat step ② until a certain error is met and output; ③ Repeat operations ① and ② to obtain a three-dimensional matrix that meets the error ∈ (where i∈[0°,90°], j∈[0°,360°], θ′ m =m°(m=0:m:360)); ④ Further select the channel circumferential angle θ′ that meets the above conditions m =m°(m=0:m:360) Minimum value, given the well inclination and azimuth The directional perforation fracturing initiation pressure corresponding to the tensile fracture of the pore rock (* represents the specific value assigned to the parameter), the circumferential angle θ′ corresponding to the crack initiation value m is the crack initiation angle of the perforation channel.
[0039] A further technical solution is that the values of the thermal-fluid-solid coupling field variables (stress field and pore pressure field) of the surrounding rock of the perforated channel in step nine have time correlation, and the boundary conditions for solving the field variables are affected by the wellhead injection displacement. Therefore, the fracture pressure value determined by this method changes dynamically with the fracturing construction time, and the wellhead injection displacement can be optimized by the fracture pressure value. Furthermore, the thermal-fluid-solid coupling field variable values of the surrounding rock of the perforated channel depend on the perforation depth, and the perforation depth can be optimized by studying the fracture pressure value law of different perforation depths.
[0040] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: the thermal-fluid-solid coupling prediction method for the directional perforating hydraulic fracturing initiation pressure proposed in the present invention is simple and easy to understand, convenient to operate, and low in cost. It provides a scientific basis for the prediction of the directional perforating hydraulic fracturing initiation pressure in (ultra) deep high-temperature wells, and can effectively guide the directional perforating hydraulic fracturing design and optimize the on-site construction parameters.

[0130] Where, the tensile strength of rock S t Defined as S t =σ c / ω,MPa;σ′ c is the uniaxial compressive strength, MPa; ω is the conversion coefficient ω. The minimum effective principal stress σ′3 (MPa) around the perforation channel is defined as:
[0131]
[0132] A further technical solution is that the process of determining the dynamic fracturing pressure of the directional perforating well in step nine is as follows:
[0133] Definition of well inclination angle γ bi =i°(i=0:i:90), azimuth angle Ω bj =j°(j=0:j:360), wellbore angle (perforation phase angle)θ k = k°(k=0:k:360), circumferential angle of perforation channel θ′ m = m° (m = 0: m: 360), used to determine the fracture initiation pressure required for rock to undergo tensile fracture in, The binary method can be used to solve the problem. The specific steps are as follows: ① Under these conditions, the initial upper and lower limits p min , p max Substituting the tensile rupture criterion, we can obtain V min and V max (where p max can be set to be greater than the three principal in-situ stresses (σ H , σh , σ v ) maximum value); ② Determine V min and V max Whether they are of different signs, take p1=(p min +p max ) / 2, update the upper and lower limits and Then, the stress around the perforation channel is introduced and combined with the tensile fracture criterion to obtain and Repeat step ② until a certain error is met and output; ③ Repeat operations ① and ② to obtain a three-dimensional matrix that meets the error ∈ (where i∈[0°,90°], j∈[0°,360°], θ′ m =m°(m=0:m:360)); ④ Further select the channel circumferential angle θ′ that meets the above conditions m =m°(m=0:m:360) Minimum value, given the well inclination and azimuth The directional perforation fracturing initiation pressure corresponding to the tensile fracture of the pore rock (* represents the specific value assigned to the parameter), the circumferential angle θ′ corresponding to the crack initiation value m is the crack initiation angle of the perforation channel.
[0134] A further technical solution is that the values of the thermal-fluid-solid coupling field variables (stress field and pore pressure field) of the surrounding rock of the perforated channel in step nine have time correlation, and the boundary conditions for solving the field variables are affected by the wellhead injection displacement. Therefore, the fracture pressure value determined by this method changes dynamically with the fracturing construction time, and the wellhead injection displacement can be optimized by the fracture pressure value. Furthermore, the thermal-fluid-solid coupling field variable values of the surrounding rock of the perforated channel depend on the perforation depth, and the perforation depth can be optimized by studying the fracture pressure value law of different perforation depths.
[0135] Note that the smaller the positive real numbers i, j, k and m are, the higher the accuracy of the fracture initiation pressure determined by the above method is.
[0136] In addition, the present invention determines the mechanical parameters, strength parameters, and related geomechanical parameters of the cement sheath and formation rock required for model calculation through indoor tests and logging data. The deformation control equation and harmonic equation of the "casing-cement sheath-formation combination" are used to derive the analytical solution of the stress field of the rock around the directional well under the condition of non-uniform ground stress under the action of casing-cement sheath-thermal coupling, and the field variable analytical solution of the surrounding rock of the perforation channel is derived through the thermal-fluid-solid coupling control equation of porous rock. Combined with the rock tensile cracking criterion, the thermal-fluid-solid coupling prediction method of the directional perforation fracturing initiation pressure is determined. Drawing a chart of the initiation pressure affected by different perforation phase angles, perforation lengths, and hydraulic fracturing displacement can provide a scientific basis for on-site construction personnel to determine a reasonable directional perforation hydraulic fracturing design, and effectively optimize the perforation depth, phase angle, and fracturing construction displacement.
