Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum extraction, and in particular relates to a method for injecting solid reagents into a shale oil horizontal wellbore. Background Art

[0002] my country is rich in shale oil and gas resources, which are mainly distributed in the Ordos, Sichuan, Songliao, Bohai Bay, Junggar and other basins. Exploration and evaluation show that the total shale oil resources alone amount to 11 to 13.5 billion tons. With the continuous advancement of exploration and development technology, especially the breakthrough of horizontal well volume fracturing technology, shale oil development has been piloted in Changqing Oilfield, Daqing Oilfield and Tuha Oilfield.

[0003] The proportion of horizontal wells in shale oil long horizontal sections is high, and most of the horizontal sections are 2000 meters to 3000 meters. During the production process, the sand produced by the oil wells accumulates and cements near the holes, accompanied by wellbore scaling. The proportion of pump inspection wells caused by scaling in shale oil horizontal wells is 7.5%, and the scaling location is concentrated in the pump and 300 meters above the pump, with a thickness of 0.5mm to 2.5mm. The scale type is mainly carbonate scale, and barium sulfate scale is also found in a few wells. The phenomenon of sand scale hardening is prominent, and 50% of the sand flushing operation wells have sand scale hardening. The scaling products are mainly FeCO3, CaCO3, and Fe2O3. The longer the horizontal section, the longer the scaling distance. The phenomenon of scale sand hardening has existed in the horizontal wells developed over the years, and the scaling products increase with the extension of the production time. Through the analysis of scaling products: with the increase of production time, the size of the cemented sand block increases (1-10cm), the density is strong, and the content of scaling products increases significantly. In the early stage, it is mainly FeCO3, and in the later stage, it is mainly CaCO3. The scaling mechanism is analyzed from the sources of the main scaling products CaCO3 and FeCO3 ions. CaCO3: It is the most common scaling type in oil fields. Under the formation water environment, calcium carbonate is in a saturated state. When the pressure drops during the production process, CO2 escapes and CaCO3 precipitates. FeCO3: Its CO3 2- The source is the same as CaCO3, from formation water, ferrous ion Fe 2+ There are several sources: casing corrosion, ball seat dissolution and dissolution of formation filling materials. 2+ The source is mainly liquid dissolution of formation filling materials, which is also confirmed by the core sampling results of North American fracturing wells. At present, there are mature anti-scaling agents such as PBTCA for calcium carbonate scale, but the shale oil horizontal wellbore 1000-1400 meters and perforation section are severely scaled, and conventional liquid and solid anti-scaling agents are difficult to reach.
