Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of waterless fracturing, and in particular relates to a waterless fracturing in-situ low-permeability reservoir pressure-drive-permeability integrated test device and method. Background Art

[0002] my country has abundant coal-bed methane resources, which provide a resource basis for ensuring national energy security and achieving the "dual carbon" goal, but the current production capacity is not satisfactory. Reservoir permeability is the key to restricting coalbed methane production capacity, while low permeability and low pressure are common characteristics of my country's coal reservoirs. The permeability is less than 0.5×10-15 m 2 Coal seams with low permeability account for more than 70%, and the permeability decreases exponentially with increasing depth, which makes the single well production of coalbed methane in my country low and decays quickly. Increasing permeability and production must rely on fracturing transformation to connect the wellbore with natural fractures. How to perform fracturing transformation on low-permeability reservoirs to increase permeability and production is an industry problem faced by coalbed methane development. Hydraulic fracturing is the most commonly used production-increasing transformation technology in the current coalbed methane development process, but the problems faced by hydraulic fracturing are becoming increasingly prominent. There are problems such as huge water consumption in hydraulic fracturing, a large amount of chemical additives in the fracturing fluid, and it is very easy to form artificial earthquakes, causing property losses.

[0003] Waterless fracturing technology is a technology that injects inert fluids (such as liquid nitrogen, CO2, etc.) into coal seams to replace conventional hydraulic fracturing fluids to produce complex fracture networks. Because it has perfect compatibility with coal seams and does not react with minerals in coal, and there is no liquid residue after gasification, no water sensitivity, water lock and other reservoir damage, and it has low rock-breaking pressure, complex fracture network, and pressurization-displacement synergistic effect, it is expected to become a new technology for reservoir transformation in the future.

[0004] Waterless fracturing technology represented by liquid nitrogen fracturing represents the future direction of technological development. As early as the 1990s, some scholars proposed the idea of ​​using the ultra-low temperature (-196℃), high compression ratio (1:696), high frost heave force (up to 207 MPa) and low viscosity characteristics of liquid nitrogen to inject high-pressure and large-volume liquid nitrogen into coal seams to replace conventional water-based fracturing fluids for fracturing transformation of low-permeability and dry reservoirs. In engineering, liquid nitrogen fracturing refers to the process of using appropriate equipment and processes to pump liquid nitrogen to the bottom of the well at conventional fracturing displacement and ultra-low temperature (-195.56 to -180.44℃) to form artificial fracturing cracks in the formation. Nitrogen has stable chemical properties and is completely compatible with the reservoir. There is no water sensitivity or water lock damage, which is expected to fundamentally solve the problems of reservoir damage and environmental pollution caused by hydraulic fracturing. Mcdaniel et al. conducted on-site construction of liquid nitrogen fracturing technology, using low-temperature resistant glass fiber as the fracturing string, and completed liquid nitrogen fracturing operations in 5 wells, including 4 coalbed methane wells and 1 low-permeability sandstone well. The initial daily production after fracturing increased by 1.22 to 6.48 times. Grundmann et al. used fiberglass tubing and stainless steel wellheads to apply liquid nitrogen fracturing to a production well in the Devonian shale formation. Compared with nitrogen fracturing in adjacent wells, the increase in production of liquid nitrogen fracturing wells was about 8%. The above engineering tests confirmed that the use of liquid nitrogen to replace water-based fracturing fluids is practically feasible. In comparison, the technical advantages of liquid nitrogen fracturing mainly include: (1) Liquid nitrogen ultra-low temperature fractures rocks, deteriorating the mechanical properties of rocks, significantly reducing the fracture pressure of reservoir rocks, and increasing the length of fractures; (2) Liquid nitrogen low-temperature fracturing can induce the formation and expansion of secondary fractures in rocks. The low viscosity characteristics enhance its ability to create long fractures, increase the complexity and connectivity of the fracture network, and improve the reservoir leakage area. (3) The huge temperature difference between liquid nitrogen and reservoir rock generates extremely strong thermal stress (temperature difference 200°C+) and vaporization pressurization (liquid-gas ratio 1:196), which promotes further expansion of the fracture while reducing the vertical stress on the fracture surface, inducing shear slip and unconformity self-support in the fracture, preventing the fracture from closing after compression and improving the fracture conductivity; (4) The chemical properties of nitrogen are stable, which can effectively prevent clay expansion and water lock in the reservoir. The flowback is complete and pollution-free, which solves the problem of reservoir damage caused by traditional hydraulic fracturing. In view of the potential advantages of liquid nitrogen fracturing, this field has been deeply concerned and studied by many scholars. At the same time, supercritical CO2 is also being studied in full swing due to its efficient displacement performance and carbon burial effect.

[0005] In recent years, rich achievements have been made in the use of liquid nitrogen (including supercritical CO2, etc.) to fracture coal and rock in the laboratory, showing the good transformation effect and application potential of water-free fluid fracturing coal. After liquid nitrogen is injected into the coal, it will deteriorate the mechanical properties of the rock and produce a dense fracture network. The diffusion capacity and permeability of the gas have been greatly improved (10-20 times), and it has the dual role of pressurization-displacement. However, actual engineering applications have found that when liquid nitrogen is used to fracture coal seams, there are low heat exchange efficiency (the cooling rate is only 0.4-1.2 ℃ / min), the liquid nitrogen injection and cooling fracturing time is too long (the liquid nitrogen injection time is as long as tens of hours or even days), and the degree of transformation of the fractures and the permeability effect are far from expectations. The supercritical CO2 injection also causes a sharp drop in permeability due to the expansion of the coal body. The water-free fracturing methods on site are faced with a series of problems such as failure to inject and poor permeability efficiency. How to pressurize the low-temperature fluid into the coal rock for fracturing is the key. The liquid nitrogen fracturing method with good transformation effect in the laboratory is not effective in actual application, which limits the effect of waterless fracturing. There are two main factors: First, it is limited by the low temperature of liquid nitrogen (-176℃), so it is impossible to simulate the state under reservoir conditions in the laboratory, and the test effect is amplified; second, due to the lack of corresponding pressure simulation equipment and reliable triaxial pressure chamber system, the current waterless fracturing method is limited by temperature and supercritical conditions. Most of the previous liquid nitrogen fracturing research is nitrogen or high-pressure nitrogen fracturing. In fact, the strongest effect on reservoir transformation is the fracturing effect of fluid, which is the key to creating long fractures and increasing the flow area, but it cannot be simulated and realized in the laboratory. Therefore, the waterless fracturing technology represented by low-temperature liquid nitrogen fracturing currently has no reliable triaxial pressure chamber system. Now there is an urgent need for a test system for low-temperature waterless fracturing of coal rock reservoirs, in order to provide a new engineering idea for liquid nitrogen fracturing technology of low-permeability reservoirs in this field.

The electric heating rods use a power supply of 220V, a diameter of 14mm, a total power of 3 rods of 1Kw, and a maximum heating temperature of 200℃. The temperature control system controls the heating of the electric heating rods of the external flexible heating sleeve, adjusts the temperature of the three-axis chamber and the heating power of the system, and the heating signal is transmitted through a high-precision communication instrument, thereby realizing a multifunctional control method of digital control and panel control.

The floating piston 722 is provided with a valve needle 725 that matches the displacement fluid outlet 724. When the pressure at the top is greater than the system pressure, the floating piston 722 with the valve needle 725 is pressurized, so that the valve needle 725 blocks the displacement fluid outlet 724 to prevent the fluid from flowing; when the system pressure is higher than the top pressure, the valve needle 725 is separated from the displacement fluid outlet 724, and the overpressure part of the fluid flows out; when the flow is continuous, these two processes are continuously circulated to maintain the balance between the seepage system pressure and the fixed value set at the top.

Close all valves, open the servo hydraulic loading control system connected to the hydraulic cylinder, and use the main control console to open the servo loading pump to provide hydraulic pressure to drive the hydraulic cylinder; S3-2. Select triaxial pressure loading as the loading method and set the triaxial pressure value. Take the set maximum pressure as the reference and maintain the pressure stable after reaching the set pressure. S3-3. Turn on the temperature and pressure monitoring system for precise temperature control, with a display accuracy of 0.1°C; S4. Three-axis heating: turn off all valves and turn on the heating device; S5. The seepage system starts to carry out gas permeability, adsorption and desorption testing: S5-1. First open the thirteenth control valve and the eighteenth control valve, set the external gas interface pressure, and use the pressure monitor to monitor; S5-2. Then open the fourteenth control valve and the twenty-eighth control valve to start the seepage process; S5-3. Observe the back pressure valve system pressure. When the outlet pressure is equal to the inlet pressure, close the 18th control valve, open the 27th control valve, the 25th control valve, the 17th control valve and the 19th control valve, and the remaining seepage liquid or gas enters the gas-liquid separator for separation; finally, close all valves and the seepage ends; S6. Add liquid nitrogen: turn off all valves, open the 17th control valve, the 15th control valve and the 24th control valve on the self-pressurized liquid nitrogen tank and the liquid nitrogen storage tank, inject liquid nitrogen into the liquid nitrogen storage tank, and close all valves after liquid nitrogen flows out of the 24th control valve; S7. When the pipeline is cold: close all valves and open the 16th and 26th control valves; S8. Sample fracturing: After the fracturing outlet pipe is installed in place, open the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth control valves on the booster pump device, as well as the sixteenth and twenty-fourth control valves on the liquid nitrogen storage tank; and turn on the acoustic emission device; when carbon dioxide is used as the fracturing gas, it is necessary to turn on the preheater for preheating operation; S9. Fracturing is completed and pressure is reduced; S10. End of experiment, instrument removal and data processing: S10-1. After the sample is fractured, all valves are closed, the twenty-first control valve and the twenty-second control valve are opened, and the liquid nitrogen in the triaxial pressure chamber system is discharged until the pressure is zero, and then the triaxial pressure chamber system is opened to take out the sample and clean the triaxial pressure chamber system; S10-2. The pressure at each location, the triaxial pressure loading pump and the acoustic emission device, and the flow data collected in real time by the control system during the fracturing process are displayed and imported into the data processing software; S10-3. Open or export the test data from WORD or EXCEL.
