Description

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas exploration and development technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment and medium for determining the fracture pressure of shale gas reservoirs. Background Technology

[0002] In the well logging industry, fracture pressure is mainly obtained through the following three methods: core laboratory analysis, well logging fracture pressure, and DFIT (Diagnostic Fluid Injection Tests) low-pressure tests.

[0003] Core laboratory analysis requires drilling and coring, but shale gas reservoir development does not involve coring. Therefore, the fracture pressure of shale gas reservoirs cannot be obtained through core laboratory analysis. Due to cost and engineering complexity considerations, fracture pressure data cannot be obtained for shale gas development wells that do not log in the horizontal section. The DFIT low-pressure test is carried out during the fracturing operation of the first cluster of the first section and has high accuracy only for the fracture pressure of the first cluster of the first section. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Figure 1The flowchart of a method for determining the fracture pressure of a shale gas reservoir is provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the calculation of the fracture pressure of a shale gas reservoir. The method can be executed by a device for determining the fracture pressure of a shale gas reservoir. The device for determining the fracture pressure of a shale gas reservoir can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device.

[0028] S110. Determine the mineral content, rock bulk modulus, framework bulk modulus, vertical stress, pore pressure, minimum horizontal principal stress, and maximum horizontal principal stress of each mineral in the shale gas reservoir.

[0029] The minerals in shale gas reservoirs mainly include quartz, albite, calcite, dolomite, pyrite, illite, montmorillonite, kaolinite, and mica. The types of minerals in the shale gas reservoir and their content can be determined through elemental logging mineral inversion. However, this embodiment does not limit the specific method for determining the content of each mineral in the shale gas reservoir.

[0030] Bulk modulus describes the elasticity of a homogeneous, isotropic solid; it can be expressed as force per unit area and represents incompressibility. Rock bulk modulus is a common mechanical parameter used to measure the compressive stress of rocks. Skeleton bulk modulus refers to the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton. Vertical stress refers to the internal forces interacting between different parts of a shale gas reservoir in the vertical direction. Pore pressure is equal to the liquid column pressure when fluid in the rock pores can flow directly to the surface; when the fluid cannot flow to the surface, it is equal to the pore wall pressure. Maximum and minimum horizontal principal stresses refer to the maximum and minimum values ​​of tensile and compressive stresses at the midpoint of a stressed structure, respectively.

[0031] Furthermore, S110 may include:

[0032] A1. Determine the mineral content, total organic carbon, water saturation, and porosity of each mineral in the shale gas reservoir.

[0033] Total organic carbon (TOC) and water saturation can be calculated based on the mineral content of each mineral in the shale gas reservoir. Specifically, TOC can be calculated using a fitted curve of nickel obtained from elemental logging measurements. Based on the TOC content, the porosity of the shale gas reservoir is calculated using quartz, calcite, dolomite, and clay in the reservoir minerals. The water saturation is calculated using the illite content in the reservoir minerals.

[0034] A2. Determine the skeleton density and rock density of the shale gas reservoir based on the mineral content, total organic carbon, water saturation, and porosity of each mineral.

[0035] Specifically, the skeletal density can be obtained by summing the ratios of the content of each mineral to its density and taking the reciprocal. Shale gas reservoirs consist of a rock skeleton, total organic carbon, formation water, and formation gas. The rock density can be obtained from the skeletal density, formation gas density, formation water density, and organic matter density.

[0036] A3. Based on the mineral content, total organic carbon, water saturation, porosity, framework density, and rock density of each mineral, determine the framework longitudinal wave transit time, framework transverse wave transit time, longitudinal wave transit time, transverse wave transit time, rock Poisson's ratio, and rock Young's modulus.

[0037] The longitudinal wave (P-wave) and transverse wave (S-wave) transit times of the skeleton are the differences in arrival times of the P-wave and S-wave, respectively, along different paths during vibration propagation. These transit times can be extracted from full-wave logging data. Based on the logging sonic transit times and rock density, the Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of the rock can be calculated. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the specific calculation methods for the P-wave, S-wave, P-wave, S-wave, Poisson's ratio, and Young's modulus of the skeleton.

The vertical depth can be calculated from the well inclination data, and the hydrostatic pressure can be calculated from the vertical depth and water density.

[0043] Specifically, pore pressure can be calculated using the following formula: Among them, P p-el P represents pore pressure, with units of MPa. p hydro This represents hydrostatic pressure, with units of MPa. Porosity is expressed as a percentage (%). This represents the normal compaction porosity of shale, expressed as a percentage (%). x is an empirical coefficient that can be corrected based on the results of the DFIT low-pressure test.

[0044] A6. Calculate the minimum horizontal principal stress based on the rock's Poisson's ratio, vertical stress, and pore pressure, and calculate the maximum horizontal principal stress based on the minimum horizontal principal stress and pore pressure.

[0045] Specifically, the minimum horizontal principal stress can be calculated using the following formula: Among them, SX el V represents the minimum horizontal principal stress, in MPa. b-el This represents Poisson's ratio, which is dimensionless.

[0046] The maximum horizontal principal stress can be calculated using the following formula: SY el =3×SX el -2×P p-el Among them, SY el This represents the maximum horizontal principal stress, expressed in MPa.

[0047] S120. Determine the stress state coefficient based on the vertical stress, minimum horizontal principal stress, and maximum horizontal principal stress.

[0048] The stress state coefficient reflects the influence of different stress states on the fracture pressure. In this embodiment, based on the calculation of fracture pressure according to pore pressure, minimum horizontal principal stress, maximum horizontal principal stress, Biot constant and uniaxial tensile strength, the influence of different stress states on fracture pressure is considered, which improves the accuracy of shale gas reservoir fracture pressure calculation.

[0051] Specifically, the positive fault coefficient can be calculated using the following formula: Furthermore, the reverse fault coefficient is calculated using the following formula:

[0052] B2. If the normal fault coefficient is determined to be greater than the fault property identification constant, then the ratio of the difference between the vertical stress and the maximum horizontal principal stress to the difference between the vertical stress and the minimum horizontal principal stress shall be used as the stress state coefficient.
