Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coal mining, and in particular to a hard-top horizontal well multi-hole fracturing pressure-flow intelligent control experimental system and method. Background Art

[0002] During coal mining, the control of the overlying hard roof directly affects the safe production of the mine. The hard roof has high strength, large breaking step, wide impact range, and complex mechanical behavior, which is a major problem in coal mine roof control. Especially after coal seam mining gradually enters deep, due to the typical "three highs" occurrence environment of deep rock mass, the mechanical behavior of rock strata breaking in a large spatial range of the overlying rock is extremely complex, engineering disasters occur frequently, and it is difficult to predict and effectively control, so higher requirements are put forward for the control of the thick and hard roof.

[0003] The transformation of overburden structure in deep coal mines is a key technical approach to disaster prevention and control. Among them, hydraulic fracturing technology does not require blasting operations, which can reduce costs and improve construction efficiency. It is an effective means to achieve the transformation of thick hard roof of coal seams. The multi-cluster synchronous fracturing technology of horizontal wells can divide the hard strata with good integrity into "small blocks" to the greatest extent by performing multi-cluster perforations in the same fracturing section, and opening multiple cracks that are dense and extend along the direction of the maximum principal stress at one time, thereby reducing the strength and energy storage capacity of the rock mass and reducing the risk of disasters.

[0004] However, measured data show that 30% or more of the cracks do not reach the designed production effect. During the expansion of hydraulic fractures, the initiation, extension, turning and penetration of hydraulic fractures are affected by multiple factors such as lithology, formation conditions, ground stress level and fracturing parameters. It is generally believed that during the synchronous expansion of multiple fractures, the mutual interference between adjacent fractures causes some fractures to lose their expansion stability. Limited by the existing technical level, there is still a lack of accurate understanding of the expansion process of multiple fractures. The expansion process of multiple fractures is affected by the coupling of multiple factors such as stress shadow effect, and its expansion direction, length and other characteristics are dynamically changing. The microseismic monitoring used on site is limited by its own accuracy and it is difficult to accurately locate the fracture trajectory. Numerical research still faces challenges, especially in considering the coupling between in-situ stress and lithology to determine the complex behavior of fracture expansion. Acoustic emission monitoring in experiments can determine the location of crack events, but it is difficult to accurately reconstruct the fracture morphology from the data. Due to equipment and cost limitations, CT is difficult to capture fracture expansion in real time. The geometry of hydraulic fractures is usually obtained by splitting rocks after fracturing tests. Therefore, the lack of experimental studies on the dynamic propagation process of multiple fractures limits the understanding of their competition and mutual interference mechanisms.

[0005] Moreover, relevant studies have shown that pressure and flow parameters in multi-perforation horizontal wells are key parameters that affect the path of fracture expansion. Currently, there is a lack of research on pressure and flow changes and control methods for multi-perforation fracturing in horizontal wells, and there is a lack of correct understanding of the mechanisms that cause the synchronous expansion and interactive response of multiple fractures. It is urgent to solve the impact of multi-perforation pressure, flow changes and regulation on the expansion of multiple fractures, and then realize dynamic distribution to achieve the goal of uniform expansion of multiple fractures.
