[0077] Obtain geological data information;
[0078] Determine the rock formation status based on the porosity reference value and tight oil richness of the area to be constructed;

[0084] Full well section CO 2 After the fracturing fluid is injected, the well is sealed, wherein the well sealing time is determined according to the comprehensive reference value;
[0085] The well is blocked and the bridge plug is removed by drilling.
[0086] The geological data information in the present invention includes pore reference values and tight oil richness. The area to be constructed is the area where the horizontal well is located. The present invention uses a continuous oil pipe to transport the perforating gun to the toe of the horizontal well during toe perforation. The toe perforation layer section should select Class II reservoirs and Class III reservoirs with poor reservoir development to balance the production pressure difference, protect high-quality reservoirs and reduce mining risks. At the same time, it can leave a liquid inlet channel when the bridge plug fracturing tool is lowered, which is convenient for the implementation of the bridge-shooting joint operation process. This is content that is easy to understand for technicians in this field and will not be elaborated here.
[0087] For a single target layer, the target layer that is closest to the target layer and is located farthest from the toe of the horizontal well relative to the target layer is recorded as the post-target layer.
[0088] The present invention performs staged fracturing on a horizontal well, wherein the horizontal section of the horizontal well to be fractured each time is recorded as a target layer, wherein a bridge plug is arranged between two adjacent target layers in the horizontal well to seal the target layer into which proppant has been injected, and a bridge-shooting joint operation process is adopted for perforating each target layer, wherein the bridge-shooting joint operation process utilizes a continuous oil pipe to send the bridge plug and the perforator into the wellbore, and the setting and perforating operations of the bridge plug are realized through ground control.
[0089] The ingredients of CO2 fracturing fluid include: supercritical CO2, thickener and additives. The thickener can be guar gum, siloxane, carboxymethyl cellulose, ND-PAM or ZJ-PAM. The additive can be a bactericide, corrosion inhibitor, drag reducer or drainage agent. The proppant is ceramsite proppant. The types of thickener and additives can be selected by users according to the actual needs of the scene. There is no specific restriction and users can choose according to their actual needs.
[0090] Specifically, the formation state is determined based on the porosity reference value and the tight oil richness, and the formation state includes:
[0091] a first rock formation state in which the pore reference value is greater than a preset pore reference value and the tight oil richness is greater than a preset tight oil richness;
[0092] A second formation state in which the pore reference value is less than or equal to a preset pore reference value or the tight oil richness is less than or equal to a preset tight oil richness.
[0093] Starting from the ground, a detection point is set every 0.5 m on the horizontal well wall. The calculation formula of the pore reference value Ф is: Where N is the number of detection points, x i is the porosity of the ith detection point; the detection method of the porosity of each detection point includes but is not limited to borehole logging, density logging or sonic logging, and the user can choose according to the needs. This is easy to understand for technicians in this field and will not be elaborated here.
[0094] The tight oil richness is the total length of oil-bearing sandstone encountered during the drilling process. The method for confirming the total length of the oil-bearing sandstone is to conduct real-time measurement of the formation through natural gamma logging technology, and draw a logging curve with the natural gamma value as the vertical coordinate and the drilling length as the horizontal coordinate. The total length of the logging curve whose natural gamma value is less than the preset natural gamma value is the total length of the oil-bearing sandstone; the value of the preset natural gamma value can be determined by the user based on historical construction records, and a preset natural gamma value is provided to detect the rock formation positions in the historical construction records whose oil content can meet the user's needs, and the average value of the natural gamma values corresponding to each rock formation position is recorded as the preset natural gamma value.
[0095] The preset pore reference value and the preset tight oil enrichment value can be set by the user according to the actual application scenario. The greater the user's need to improve the fracturing effect, the larger the preset pore reference value and the preset tight oil enrichment value are. Provided are the preset pore reference value and the preset tight oil enrichment value, the preset pore reference value is 60%, and the preset tight oil enrichment is 70% of the horizontal well length.
[0096] Specifically, the target layer setting method is determined according to the rock layer status;
[0097] In the first rock layer state, the target layer is set by determining the target layer length according to the rock layer evaluation coefficient;
[0098] In the second rock layer state, the target layer is set in such a way that the length of the first target layer is determined according to the pore reference value, and the length of each second target layer is determined according to the pore length difference of the preceding target layer.
[0099] Among them, for a single target layer, perforation is performed to obtain a number of holes, and the hole length of each hole is detected. The hole length difference = maximum hole length - minimum hole length. The hole length detection method is to lower the downhole imaging equipment into the horizontal well and locate it to the perforation section, and detect the depth of each hole in the perforation section, which is recorded as the hole length of each hole. This is easy for technical personnel in this field to understand and will not be elaborated here.
[0100] The target layer length is the length of the target layer in a direction perpendicular to the ground.
[0101] Specifically, the target layer length is determined based on the rock layer evaluation coefficient;
[0102] The relationship between the target layer length and the rock formation evaluation coefficient is a negative correlation.
[0103] Specifically, the calculation formula of the rock formation evaluation coefficient τ is:
[0104]
[0105] Among them, φ is the pore reference value, H is the richness of tight oil, ε1 is the first coefficient, and ε2 is the second coefficient.
[0106] It is understandable that the user can learn from historical records through a deep learning convolutional neural network to analyze the influence of the porosity reference value and the tight oil richness on the target layer length setting, and then determine the values of the first coefficient and the second coefficient, where ε1+ε2=1, and provide a value of ε1 and ε2, ε1=0.5, ε2=0.5.
[0107] Specifically, in the second rock layer state, the length of the first target layer is determined according to the pore reference value, and the length of each second target layer is determined according to the pore length difference of the previous target layer;
[0108] If the hole length difference is less than the preset hole length difference, the length of the second target layer is the standard length;
[0109] If the hole length difference is greater than or equal to the preset hole length difference, the length of the second target layer is reduced and adjusted;
[0110] The relationship between the pore reference value and the length of the first target layer is a positive correlation;
[0111] The first target layer is the target layer closest to the toe of the horizontal well, and the second target layer is all target layers except the first target layer.
[0112] Among them, the value of the preset hole length difference can be set by the user according to the actual application scenario. The greater the user's demand for improving the carbon dioxide fracturing effect, the smaller the value of the preset hole length difference is. A value of the preset hole length difference is provided, and the preset hole length difference is 30%.
[0113] The standard length is the same as the length of the first target layer, and the length of the second target layer is negatively correlated with the hole length difference.
[0114] Specifically, CO is injected into the target layer. 2 When fracturing fluid is used, the CO corresponding to the target layer is determined according to the reference oil-bearing sandstone length of the target layer. 2 The amount of fracturing fluid injected;
[0115] The CO 2 There is a positive correlation between the injection volume of the fracturing fluid and the length of the reference oil-bearing sandstone.
[0116] The reference oil-bearing sandstone length is confirmed in the following manner: for a single target layer, the total length of the target layer in the length interval in the logging curve where the natural gamma value is less than the preset natural gamma value is the reference oil-bearing sandstone length;
[0117] CO 2 The injection volume of fracturing fluid is the CO injected into a single target layer. 2 Total amount of fracturing fluid, in tons, CO 2 The calculation formula for the injection volume Q of the fracturing fluid is: Q=δ×h, where h is the reference oil-bearing sandstone length and δ is the reference coefficient. A value of a reference coefficient δ is provided, δ=25t / m.
[0118] Specifically, the thickener content of the target layer is determined according to the reservoir pressure of the target layer;
[0119] The relationship between the reservoir pressure and the thickener content is a negative correlation.
[0120] The method for confirming the reservoir pressure is as follows: for a single target layer, the target layer is recorded as a reference target layer, and a pressure sensor is used to be lowered to the two end points and the midpoint of the reference target layer for measurement, and the pressure at each position detected by the pressure sensor is recorded as the reference pressure. The reservoir pressure is the average of the three reference pressures.
[0121] The method for confirming the thickener content is to convert the CO 2 The amount of thickener in the fracturing fluid is recorded as the thickener content, in kg.
[0122] Specifically, when the injection of proppant into a single target layer is completed, the fracture density of the target layer is detected. If the fracture density is less than the preset fracture density, the fracturing fluid adjustment method of the subsequent target layer of the target layer is determined according to the gravel state of the proppant;
[0123] In the first gravel state, the fracturing fluid adjustment method is to determine the optimization method according to the difference in gravel particle size;
[0124] In the second gravel state, the fracturing fluid adjustment method is to target CO 2 The injection pressure of the fracturing fluid is adjusted.
[0125] For a single target layer, the target layer is recorded as the reference target layer, and the fracture density = the number of fractures in the reference target layer / the volume of the reference target layer. The number of fractures in the reference target layer is the number of fractures in the reference target layer after CO is injected into the reference target layer. 2The number of cracks generated after fracturing fluid and proppant, the number of cracks in the reference target layer can be detected by microseismic monitoring technology, which is easy to understand for those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail. The calculation formula for the volume V of the reference target layer is: Where D is the diameter of the tight oil horizontal well, and H0 is the length of the reference target layer;
[0126] The preset crack density value can be determined by the user according to the actual application scenario. 2 The greater the demand for good fracturing effect of the fracturing fluid, the larger the value of the preset fracture density. A value of the preset fracture density is provided, and the fracture density of horizontal wells whose fracturing effect meets the user's demand in the historical construction records is detected, and the average value of each fracture density is recorded as the preset fracture density.
[0127] Specifically, the gravel state is determined according to the average gravel particle size of the proppant, and the gravel state includes:
[0128] A first gravel state in which the mean value of the gravel particle size is greater than or equal to a preset mean value of the gravel particle size;
[0129] A second gravel state in which the average gravel particle size is smaller than a preset gravel particle size average.
[0130] Among them, W gravels are randomly selected from the proppant used in the present invention, and the calculation formula for the mean value of the gravel particle size R0 is: Where, f = 1, 2, 3, ..., W, W is the number of selected gravels, R f is the particle size of the fth gravel, R f The calculation formula is: f =(long axis length of the fth gravel + short axis length of the fth gravel) / 2, the long axis length of the fth gravel is the length of the fth gravel in the maximum extension direction, and the short axis length of the fth gravel is the length of the fth gravel in the minimum extension direction. It can be understood that the higher the user's demand for the accuracy of the mean gravel particle size, the larger the value of W. A value of W is provided, W=100.
[0131] The value of the average gravel particle size can be preset, and users can set it according to the actual application scenario. 2 The greater the demand for better sand suspension capacity of the fracturing fluid, the smaller the value of the preset mean gravel particle size. A value of the preset mean gravel particle size is provided, and the preset mean gravel particle size is 3 mm.
[0132] Specifically, if the fracture density of a target layer is less than the preset fracture density and the gravel state of the proppant is the first gravel state, the optimization method is determined according to the difference in the gravel particle size;
[0133] If the difference in the sand and gravel particle size is greater than or equal to the preset difference in the sand and gravel particle size, the optimization method is to target the CO corresponding to the target layer after the target layer. 2 The injection temperature of the fracturing fluid is reduced and adjusted;
[0134] If the difference in the size of the gravel particles is less than the preset difference in the size of the gravel particles, the optimization method is to use CO 2 The apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid is adjusted according to the thickener content or carbon dioxide injection rate corresponding to the target layer behind the target layer;
[0135] The CO 2 The decrease in injection temperature of the fracturing fluid is positively correlated with the fracture density.
[0136] Among them, CO 2 The injection temperature of the fracturing fluid is CO 2 The initial temperature when the fracturing fluid is injected, the difference in gravel particle size = (maximum gravel particle size - minimum gravel particle size) / maximum gravel particle size, the maximum gravel particle size is the maximum gravel particle size among several gravels randomly selected from the proppant used in the present invention, and the minimum gravel particle size is the minimum gravel particle size among several gravels randomly selected from the proppant used in the present invention, wherein, gravel particle size = (long axis length of gravel + short axis length of gravel) / 2, the long axis length of gravel is the length of gravel in the maximum extension direction, and the short axis length of gravel is the length of gravel in the minimum extension direction.
[0137] The value of the preset gravel particle size difference can be set by the user according to the actual application scenario. 2 The greater the requirement for the fracturing fluid to have a good fracturing effect, the smaller the value of the preset gravel particle size difference is, and a value of the preset gravel particle size difference is provided, and the preset gravel particle size difference is 20%;
[0138] It is understandable that for the adjacent target layer CO 2 The fracturing fluid injection temperature can be reduced to increase CO 2 The apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid allows a large amount of sand and gravel particles to be suspended in the CO 2 The fracturing fluid increases the density of the fractures.
[0139] Specifically, if the difference in the size of the gravel particles is less than the preset difference in the size of the gravel particles, the CO 2 The apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid;
[0140] If the apparent viscosity is greater than or equal to the preset apparent viscosity, the CO corresponding to the post-target layer of the target layer 2 The injection rate of the fracturing fluid is reduced and adjusted;
[0141] If the apparent viscosity is less than the preset apparent viscosity, the thickener content corresponding to the subsequent target layer of the target layer is increased and adjusted;
[0142] The CO 2 The decrease in the injection rate of the fracturing fluid is positively correlated with the fracture density;
[0143] The increase in the thickener content is positively correlated with the crack density.
[0144] Among them, CO 2 The apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid is tested by a viscometer. The model of the viscometer is not specifically limited, as long as it meets the needs of the user;
[0145] The value of the preset apparent viscosity can be set by the user according to the actual application scenario. 2 The greater the demand for good fracturing effect of the fracturing fluid, the greater the value of the preset apparent viscosity. A preset apparent viscosity value is provided to detect the CO2 content in the historical construction records that the fracturing effect meets the user's needs. 2 The apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid is 2 The average value of the apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid is recorded as the preset apparent viscosity;
[0146] It can be understood that the CO corresponding to the post-target layer of the target layer 2 Reducing the injection rate of the fracturing fluid helps to expand the cracks and form more cracks, thereby increasing the crack density.
[0147] Specifically, if the fracture density of a target layer is less than the preset fracture density and the gravel state of the proppant is the second gravel state, the CO corresponding to the subsequent target layer of the target layer 2 The injection pressure of the fracturing fluid is increased and adjusted;
[0148] The CO 2 The increase in injection pressure of the fracturing fluid is positively correlated with the fracture density.
[0149] Among them, the CO corresponding to the post-target layer of the target layer 2 Increasing the injection pressure of the fracturing fluid can increase the number of fractures and thus the fracture density. 2 During the injection of fracturing fluid, CO 2 The injection pressure of the fracturing fluid and the reservoir conditions are monitored, and the injection parameters are adjusted in a timely manner according to the monitoring results to ensure that CO 2 The injection pressure of the fracturing fluid is kept within a safe range to avoid CO 2 The injection pressure of the fracturing fluid is too high, causing the formation to rupture.
[0150] Specifically, the whole well section CO 2 After the fracturing fluid is injected, the well blocking time is determined based on the comprehensive reference value;
[0151] The calculation formula of the comprehensive reference value γ is: γ = lnα ω1 +lnβ ω2 , where α is the reservoir pressure, β is the horizontal well diameter, ω1 is the first weight coefficient, and ω2 is the second weight coefficient;
[0152] The relationship between the well blocking time and the comprehensive reference value is a negative correlation.
[0153] Among them, the well blocking time refers to the time after the completion of the whole well section CO 2 After the fracturing fluid is injected, the wellhead is closed to allow the CO 2 The period of time during which the fracturing fluid is fully active in the ground;
[0154] It is understandable that the user can learn from historical records through deep learning convolutional neural networks to analyze the influence of the first weight coefficient and the second weight coefficient on the well-clogging time, and then determine the values of the first weight coefficient and the second weight coefficient, where ω1+ω2=1, and one value of ω1 and ω2 is provided, ω1=0.5, ω2=0.5.
[0155] Specifically, the injected CO 2 The target layer of the fracturing fluid adopts the annular sand fracturing method.
[0156] Among them, the annular sand fracturing method uses a high-pressure pump to inject fracturing fluid into the annular space between the wellbore and the casing. Through the pressure of the fracturing fluid, cracks are formed in the formation and expanded. There is no specific restriction on the model of the high-pressure pump, as long as it meets the user's needs.

[0158] In the present invention, the toe 1 of the horizontal well is the farthest area of the horizontal well extending in the horizontal direction during the drilling of the horizontal well. The horizontal well is subjected to staged fracturing, and the horizontal section of the horizontal well subjected to fracturing each time is recorded as a target layer 3. The bridge plug 2 is arranged between two adjacent target layers 3 in the horizontal well to isolate the target layer 3 into which the proppant has been injected. After perforating the toe 1 of the horizontal well or the target layer 3, a plurality of holes 4 can be obtained.
