TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of oil and gas engineering, and particularly relates to a hydraulic fracturing optimization design method for controlling fracture height of deep coalbed methane reservoir and a related device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The deep coalbed methane reservoir has a burial depth generally exceeding 2000 meters, and is an important component of unconventional oil and gas resources. The geological resources of deep coal rock gas with a burial depth exceeding 2000 meters amount to 40.71 trillion m 3 With a substantial reduction in effective development blocks of shallow coalbed methane, the deep coalbed methane reservoir will be the main battlefield for development of major gas fields in the future. Vigorous development of the deep coalbed methane reservoir can not only effectively solve the current energy shortage problem, but is also crucial for energy security.
[0003] The deep coalbed methane reservoir has a thickness generally not exceeding 6 meters, and the reservoir thickness is small and the network of cleavage and fissure is widely developed, which are typical characteristics of the deep coalbed methane reservoir. Development of the deep coalbed methane reservoir must rely on large-scale limited-volume fracturing technology to form an effective support fracture network in the reservoir, and ultimately achieve economic benefit mining. However, in the fracturing process, the typical characteristics of the deep coalbed methane reservoir make it difficult to control the fracture propagation trajectory, and the fracture height is difficult to control within the target coalbed section, which seriously affects the fracturing development effect and restricts vigorous development of the deep coalbed methane reservoir. How to regulate and control the fracturing parameters and effectively control the fracture height has become a technical bottleneck problem restricting economic benefit development of the deep coalbed methane reservoir.

[0063] The application discloses a hydraulic fracturing optimization design method for controlling fracture height of a deep coalbed gas reservoir.
[0064] Step (1), the number and distribution angle of cleavages of a target coalbed section are determined by well logging interpretation data in combination with drilling coring, and the lithology and bedding number B of roof rock of the upper part of the deep coalbed gas reservoir coalbed section (i.e. the target coalbed section) and floor rock of the lower part of the deep coalbed gas reservoir coalbed section are determined. e-true Specifically, the number of cleavages of the deep coalbed gas reservoir coalbed section is counted according to the number of cleavages per unit area on the core end face, and the distribution angle of the cleavages is counted according to the included angle between the cleavages and the maximum horizontal principal stress to count the distribution direction of the cleavages. The lithology of the roof rock of the upper part of the target coalbed section and the floor rock of the lower part is determined, and if the lithology is mudstone or shale, the actual bedding number B of the roof rock and the floor rock is counted. e-true If the lithology is sandstone, the influence of the bedding is not considered, and the actual bedding number of the roof rock and the floor rock is not counted.
[0065] Step (2), the mechanical property parameters, the ground stress property parameters and the basic physical property parameters of the roof rock, the target coalbed section and the floor rock are measured by drilling coring in combination with indoor true triaxial compression experiments and steady-state displacement experiments; wherein the mechanical property parameters include the Young's modulus E, the Poisson's ratio v, the tensile strength K1, the compressive strength K2 and the friction coefficient μ of the rock; the ground stress property parameters include the maximum horizontal principal stress SH, the minimum horizontal principal stress Sh and the vertical principal stress SV; and the basic physical property parameters include the porosity and the permeability k of the rock. φ
[0066] Step (3), a three-dimensional fracture penetration numerical simulation model is established by using a fracturing module of a petrel software platform in combination with the parameters collected in steps (1) and (2); specifically, before the three-dimensional fracture penetration numerical simulation model is established, firstly, the KIC parameters (i.e. fracture toughness indexes) of the vertical fracture toughness and the horizontal fracture toughness of the three horizons of the roof rock, the target coalbed section and the floor rock of the model are calculated according to the rock mechanical parameters, and the calculation formulae of the vertical fracture toughness KIC parameter and the horizontal fracture toughness KIC parameter are as follows:
[0067] KIC vertical = 0.005 + 0.155 * K1 - 0.00312 * K2 + 0.0148 * E, unit: MPa.m 0.5
[0068] KIC horizontal = 0.6 * KIC vertical
[0069] Step (4), set the through-layer simulation control parameters of the roof rock and the floor rock by the fracture through-layer offset control module (OFFSET) and the fracture through-layer shear slip control module (Shear Slip) in the fracturing module of the petrel software platform, continuously adjust the control parameters for through-layer fracturing simulation until the critical mechanical parameters and the critical bedding number B of the roof rock and the floor rock (i.e. the roof rock and the floor rock) are determined e-critical Specifically:
[0070] When the lithology of the roof rock (or the floor rock) is sandstone or limestone, set the through-layer simulation control parameters, the through-layer simulation control parameters including the minimum horizontal principal stress of the rock, the friction coefficient of the rock, and the tensile strength of the rock, then enable the fracture through-layer shear slip control module (Shear Slip) to perform fracture propagation simulation, determine whether the fracture will penetrate the roof rock (or the floor rock), then continuously adjust the through-layer simulation control parameters until the fracture height will not penetrate the roof rock (or the floor rock), at this time, the critical mechanical parameters when the lithology of the roof rock (or the floor rock) is sandstone or limestone are determined, the critical mechanical parameters including the critical minimum horizontal principal stress Sh- critical , the critical rock friction coefficient μ- critical , and the critical rock tensile strength K1- critical ;
[0071] When the lithology of the roof rock (or the floor rock) is shale, set the through-layer simulation control parameters, the through-layer simulation control parameters including the offset amount offset and the bedding number, wherein the offset amount offset is set to a fixed value of 5.5 cm, then enable the fracture through-layer offset control module (OFFSET) to perform fracture propagation simulation, determine whether the fracture will penetrate the roof rock (or the floor rock), then continuously adjust the through-layer simulation control parameters until the fracture height will not penetrate the roof rock (or the floor rock), at this time, the critical bedding number B e-critical of the roof rock (or the floor rock) when the lithology of the roof rock (or the floor rock) is shale is determined.
[0072] When the lithology of the roof rock (or the floor rock) is mudstone, set the through-layer simulation control parameters, the through-layer simulation control parameters including the offset amount offset and the bedding number, wherein the offset amount offset is set to a fixed value of 2.5 cm, then enable the fracture through-layer offset control module (OFFSET) to perform fracture propagation simulation, determine whether the fracture will penetrate the roof rock (or the floor rock), then continuously adjust the through-layer simulation control parameters until the fracture height will not penetrate the roof rock (or the floor rock), at this time, the critical bedding number B e-critical of the roof rock (or the floor rock) when the lithology of the roof rock (or the floor rock) is shale is determined.
[0073] Step (5), compare the critical mechanical parameters and the critical bedding number of the roof and floor rock determined in step (4) with the actual mechanical parameters and the actual bedding number of the roof and floor rock of the target coal seam section, to determine whether the fracture height needs to be controlled; specifically, when the lithology of the actual roof (or floor) rock of the target coal seam section is shale or mudstone, if the actual bedding number of the roof (or floor) rock exceeds the critical bedding number of the roof (or floor) rock determined in step (4), it indicates that the fracture height will not penetrate the layer during the hydraulic fracturing of the target coal seam section, and thus there is no need to perform the fracturing optimization design; if the actual bedding number of the roof (or floor) rock does not exceed the critical bedding number of the roof (or floor) rock determined in step (4), it indicates that the fracture height will penetrate the layer during the hydraulic fracturing of the target coal seam section, and thus the fracturing optimization design is needed.
[0074] When the lithology of the actual roof (or floor) rock of the target coal seam section is sandstone or limestone, if the actual minimum horizontal principal stress of the roof (or floor) rock exceeds the critical minimum horizontal principal stress Sh- critical of the roof (or floor) rock determined in step (4), or if the actual rock tensile strength of the roof (or floor) rock exceeds the critical rock tensile strength K1- critical of the roof (or floor) rock determined in step (4), it indicates that the fracture height will not penetrate the layer during the hydraulic fracturing of the target coal seam section, and thus there is no need to perform the fracturing optimization design. If the actual rock friction coefficient of the roof (or floor) rock is less than the critical rock friction coefficient μ- critical of the roof (or floor) rock determined in step (4), it indicates that the fracture height will also not penetrate the layer during the hydraulic fracturing of the target coal seam section, and thus there is also no need to perform the fracturing optimization design.
[0075] When the lithology of the actual roof (or floor) rock of the target coal seam section is sandstone or limestone, if the actual minimum horizontal principal stress of the roof (or floor) rock does not exceed the critical minimum horizontal principal stress Sh- critical of the roof (or floor) rock determined in step (4), or if the actual rock tensile strength of the roof (or floor) rock does not exceed the critical rock tensile strength K1- critical of the roof (or floor) rock determined in step (4), it indicates that the fracture height will penetrate the layer during the hydraulic fracturing of the target coal seam section, and thus the fracturing optimization design is needed. If the actual rock friction coefficient of the roof (or floor) rock is greater than the critical rock friction coefficient μ- critical of the roof (or floor) rock determined in step (4), it indicates that the fracture height will also penetrate the layer during the hydraulic fracturing of the target coal seam section, and thus the fracturing optimization design is needed.
[0076] Step (6), for the target coal seam section which needs to be fractured height controlled, the three-dimensional fracture penetration numerical simulation model is used to simulate the fracturing form, and the four fracturing construction parameters of fracturing fluid discharge, fracturing fluid viscosity, sand ratio and total liquid volume are continuously adjusted until the fracturing result shows that the fracture height meets the requirements; specifically, the fracturing construction parameters are continuously adjusted, and the height H of the hydraulic fracture penetrating the roof rock (or floor rock) is calculated and simulated, when the fracture height H is less than 1 / 4 of the thickness of the roof rock (or floor rock) horizon, it can be considered that the fracture height is effectively controlled, and the fracturing construction parameters at this time are the final fracturing construction parameters obtained by optimization design.
[0077] The fracturing construction parameters optimized by the above step (6) of the application are used to design the pump injection program table, and then the field fracturing construction is carried out.
[0078] Embodiment
[0079] The deep coalbed methane resource reserves in a certain area of an oilfield are rich, the reservoir burial depth is more than 2000m, the main development horizon is No. 8 coal series, however, the field fracturing result shows that the fracture height cannot be effectively controlled, and the single well effect after fracturing is poor, therefore, the pump injection program of 10-32-56 well in a certain area is optimized and designed by using the above technical scheme of the application, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0080] Step (1), the target coal seam section of 10-32-56 well in a certain area is determined to have limestone as the roof rock and mudstone as the floor rock through well logging interpretation data combined with drilling core, and the actual number of floor mudstone layering is 10.
[0081] Step (2), the mechanical property parameters, stress characteristic parameters and basic physical property parameters of the roof rock, target coal seam section and floor rock are measured by using drilling core combined with indoor true triaxial compression experiment and steady-state displacement experiment, and the specific parameters are shown in Table 1:
[0082] Table 1
[0083]
[0084] Step (3), a three-dimensional fracture penetration numerical simulation model is established by using the fracturing module of the petrel software platform, as shown in the following formula: Figure 1
[0085] Step (4), for the well 10-32-56, since the roof rock is limestone, a fracture cross-formation shear slip control module (Shear Slip) is enabled for fracture propagation simulation to determine whether the fracture will cross the roof rock, then the cross-formation simulation control parameters are continuously adjusted until the fracture height will not cross the roof rock, and finally the critical mechanical parameters of the roof rock are determined, in which the critical minimum horizontal principal stress Sh- critical = 46 MPa, the critical rock friction coefficient μ- critical = 0.63, and the critical rock tensile strength K1- critical = 25.3 MPa.
[0086] Since the floor rock of the well 10-32-56 is mudstone, a fracture cross-formation offset control module (OFFSET) is enabled for fracture propagation simulation to determine whether the fracture will cross the floor rock, then the cross-formation simulation control parameters are continuously adjusted until the fracture height will not cross the floor rock, and finally the critical bedding number B e-critical = 30 is determined.
[0087] Step (5), the critical parameters determined in step (4) are compared with the actual values, and the results show that since the actual bedding number of the floor rock is less than the critical bedding number, the floor rock will cross, and the minimum horizontal principal stress and the tensile strength of the roof rock are also less than the critical parameters, so the roof rock will also cross, and therefore it is necessary to optimize the design of the fracturing pumping program.
[0088] Step (6), for the target coal seam section of the well 10-32-56, a three-dimensional fracture cross-formation numerical simulation model is used to simulate the fracturing pattern, then the fracturing fluid discharge, the fracturing fluid viscosity, the sand ratio and the total liquid volume are continuously adjusted until the fracturing result shows that the fracture height H crossing the roof rock (or the floor rock) is less than 1 / 4 of the thickness of the roof rock (or the floor rock). The finally optimized pumping parameters are: the fracturing fluid discharge is 16 m 3 / min, the fracturing fluid viscosity is 15 mPa·s-45 mPa·s, the sand ratio is 0.7, and the total liquid volume is 1943 m 3 . The comparison of the fracture patterns before and after optimization is shown in FIG. 2(a) and FIG. 2(b), and it can be seen from FIG. 2(b) that after optimization, the fracture height is basically controlled within the coal seam section.
[0089] The fracturing construction parameters optimized in step (6) are used to design the pumping program table, and then the field fracturing construction is carried out, and finally the post-fracturing production effect is compared with that of the adjacent well without optimization as shown in Table 2.
[0090] Table 2
[0091]
[0092] As shown in Table 2, compared with the non-optimized adjacent well (i.e., well 147), the cumulative gas production of the single well (i.e., well 10-32-56) is greatly improved.
[0093] The application also provides a system of a hydraulic fracturing optimization design method for controlling fracture height of a deep coalbed gas reservoir.
