Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of deep underground structure reconstruction, and in particular to a comprehensive performance testing device for a crack proppant and a testing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the process of transformation and development of underground structures such as oil and gas, geothermal energy, and minerals, reservoir fracturing is an important means to increase reservoir permeability and increase production. Proppant is an important part of reservoir fracturing transformation technology. After the cracks are generated by fracturing, proppants need to be injected into the cracks to keep the cracks open and prevent them from closing after the pressure is released. The rational use of proppants can enhance the stability of cracks, effectively optimize the crack network, improve the efficiency of underground resource extraction, reduce the impact on the environment, and ensure the sustainability of engineering projects.

[0003] Conductivity is the most important indicator to measure the improvement of reservoir fracture permeability by proppants. Testing and evaluating the conductivity of proppants through experiments is a prerequisite for selecting the appropriate proppant type and optimizing the process parameters of proppants such as particle size and concentration in reservoir fracturing transformation. At present, the test method for proppant conductivity is mainly the petroleum and natural gas industry standard "SY∕T 6302-2019 Test Method for Conductivity of Fracturing Proppants" issued by the National Energy Administration. The device used is a fracture conductivity meter developed in accordance with the API standard. This method uses two rock plates in the diversion chamber to simulate the reservoir, evenly lays proppants between the two rock plates to simulate the effect of proppants on the fractures, applies uniform normal pressure to the rock plates to simulate the closing pressure of the fractures, measures the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the fracture during fluid displacement, and calculates the permeability of the fracture and the conductivity of the proppant through Darcy's law.

[0004] This method has several problems: ① The proppant is pre-filled in the fracture in a uniform manner, which makes it difficult to reflect the migration process of the proppant in the fracture during the injection process of the actual project, and it is also difficult to observe the distribution morphology of the proppant in the fracture; ② The rock plate only bears normal pressure and is in a state of uniaxial loading, which cannot reflect the triaxial stress state of the reservoir in the actual project, resulting in only the simulation of the most ideal tension fractures, and cannot simulate more complex fractures such as shear fractures; ③ It is impossible to carry out new proppant tests such as temperature changes or chemical reagents to stimulate expansion, making it difficult to observe the expansion effect and evaluate the changes in conductivity before and after expansion.
