Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development, and in particular to a shale gas well flowback system optimization method, device and electronic equipment. Background Art
[0002] Shale gas is a typical unconventional natural gas. The formation and enrichment of shale gas are self-generated and self-stored, and it is mainly free gas and adsorbed gas. Shale reservoirs are very dense and micro-nano pores are very developed. Shale gas reservoirs are usually called "artificial gas reservoirs". They are mainly developed by horizontal wells with large-scale hydraulic fracturing. The entire development cycle includes fracturing, well blocking, flowback and mining. Compared with conventional gas reservoirs, dense shale reservoirs greatly enhance the role of reservoir infiltration and gas placement. Usually, shale gas wells are blocked for a period of time after fracturing, which is conducive to promoting the infiltration process and increasing the complexity of the fracture network after fracturing, thereby increasing the production capacity of shale gas wells.
[0003] However, a long well-clogging time will cause the fracturing fluid to be retained in the near-wellbore area and produce "water lock", which will reduce the gas permeability near the fracturing cracks and increase the resistance to gas production, thereby reducing the production of shale gas wells. Therefore, a reasonable well-clogging time is crucial to fully exert the imbibition effect of shale reservoirs and reduce the damage of "water lock" near the wellbore. In addition, shale reservoirs have problems such as stress sensitivity and sand production in the seams. When the size of the return nozzle is too large, it may cause permeability damage and proppant reflux, while when the size of the return nozzle is too small, the fracturing fluid may not be effectively returned, affecting the production capacity of shale gas wells.
[0004] At present, the design of the post-pressure backflow sealing time and the backflow nozzle of shale gas wells mainly relies on field experience and judgment, and the design of the backflow system is blind. Summary of the invention

[0074] The following describes the solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0075] The present disclosure provides a method for optimizing the flowback system of a shale gas well. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A flow chart of a shale gas well flowback system optimization method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, and the method comprises:
[0076] S101, using a gas reservoir numerical model, by setting different gas well production pressure differences, simulating different nozzle characteristics or different nozzle characteristic change trends, and obtaining multiple cumulative gas production volumes in a preset time period;
[0077] S102, determining a flowback nozzle characteristic scheme or a flowback nozzle characteristic change trend scheme according to a plurality of accumulated gas production volumes and a correspondence between nozzle characteristics and gas well production pressure difference.
[0078] The disclosed embodiment utilizes a gas reservoir numerical model to set different gas well production pressure differences to simulate different nozzle characteristics or different nozzle characteristic change trends, thereby obtaining multiple cumulative gas productions in a preset time period. Then, based on each cumulative gas production and in combination with the correspondence between the nozzle characteristics and the gas well production pressure difference, the nozzle characteristics or the nozzle characteristic change trends corresponding to a better cumulative gas production are determined as a flowback nozzle characteristic scheme or a flowback nozzle characteristic change trend scheme. This can reasonably determine a flowback nozzle design scheme that achieves the optimal production capacity, realize reasonable flowback of shale gas wells after pressure relief, and improve the production capacity and development effect of shale gas wells.
[0079] Set different unit pressure differences, such as 2.3MPa, 3.1MPa, etc.

The nozzle characteristic change trend includes nozzle size increase or nozzle size decrease, or the nozzle characteristic change trend includes nozzle size increase or nozzle size decrease, and at least one of the following: the change amplitude of each level of nozzle size, and the working duration of each level of nozzle size. For example, the size of the nozzle gradually increases; for another example, a two-level nozzle is configured, the nozzle characteristic change trend can also be the gradual increase in the nozzle size and the working duration of each level of the nozzle size; for another example, a multi-level nozzle is configured, the nozzle characteristic change trend can also be: the nozzle size increases, the size of each level of the nozzle changes by 2mm, and the working duration of each level of the nozzle size is different and is 1 day, 2 days, 2 days, etc.; many kinds of nozzle characteristic schemes or nozzle characteristic change trend schemes can be simulated, and by simulating the cumulative gas production corresponding to various schemes for a preset time period such as a quarter or a year under different nozzle characteristics or different nozzle characteristic change trends, the nozzle scheme corresponding to the better or optimal cumulative gas production can be known, and then the nozzle characteristic corresponding to the better cumulative gas production or the nozzle characteristic change trend is determined as the final return nozzle characteristic scheme or return nozzle characteristic change trend scheme.
[0081] In a feasible embodiment, the corresponding relationship between the choke characteristics and the gas well production pressure difference can be inferred through historical field experience combined with field data.
[0082] Preferably, some embodiments of the present disclosure utilize a wellbore pipe flow model to determine the correspondence between the nozzle characteristics and the production pressure difference of the gas well.
[0083] Exemplarily, a wellbore pipe flow model can be constructed first. Specifically, the wellbore pipe flow model can be pre-constructed in the following way: first, the initial wellbore pipe flow model of the shale gas well is established using the steady-state multiphase flow simulation software PIPESIM, and the wellbore attribute characteristics are input. The wellbore attribute characteristics include casing length, casing size, pipeline length, pipeline size, gas-water fluid properties, nozzle characteristics and other attributes. Of course, other wellbore attribute characteristics can also be included, such as wellbore material, etc.; then, based on the established initial wellbore pipe flow model, the wellbore pressure profiles corresponding to different nozzle characteristics are simulated, the gas well production pressure difference is determined, and the corresponding relationship between the nozzle characteristics and the gas well production pressure difference is established.
[0084] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A flow chart of another shale gas well flowback system optimization method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The method may further include:
[0085] S201, using a gas reservoir numerical model, by setting different gas well production pressure differences, simulating different nozzle characteristics or different nozzle characteristic change trends, and obtaining multiple cumulative gas productions in a preset time period;
[0086] S202, determining a flowback nozzle characteristic scheme or a flowback nozzle characteristic change trend scheme according to multiple cumulative gas production volumes and a correspondence between nozzle characteristics and gas well production pressure difference;
[0087] S203, using a gas reservoir numerical model, determining bottom hole pressures corresponding to a plurality of different well blocking times;
[0088] S204, determining a well-clogging time range when the bottom hole pressure tends to be stable according to each bottom hole pressure;
[0089] S205, obtaining an optimal backflow well blocking time according to a well blocking time range when the bottom hole pressure tends to be stable;
[0090] S206, the optimal backflow well blocking time and the backflow oil nozzle characteristic scheme or the backflow oil nozzle characteristic change trend scheme are comprehensively considered to obtain the final backflow system optimization scheme.
[0091] Among them, steps S201 and S202 are consistent with the aforementioned S101 and S102 and are not repeated here.
[0092] Steps S203-S205 have no causal relationship with steps S201-S202 and can be performed simultaneously or sequentially.
[0093] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the bottom hole pressure corresponding to a plurality of different well blocking times can be determined by using a gas reservoir numerical model, according to the well blocking time conditions given in advance, to determine the bottom hole pressure corresponding to the well blocking time, such as giving a well blocking time of five days, six days, seven days, or even sixty days, recording the bottom hole pressure corresponding to each day, and observing the change of the bottom hole pressure every day, so as to find out from which well blocking time the bottom hole pressure tends to be stable. It can also be used to use a gas reservoir numerical model, input a period of time in advance, such as sixty days, and then let the gas reservoir numerical model display the bottom hole pressure corresponding to each time point during this period of time in the form of a curve, the horizontal axis is the well blocking time, the unit is day, and the vertical axis is the bottom hole pressure, the unit is MPa. According to each bottom hole pressure, the bottom hole pressure change law under different well blocking times can be analyzed, and then based on the bottom hole pressure change law, the well blocking time range after the bottom hole pressure tends to be stable can be determined. For example, the bottom hole pressure tends to be stable stage can be defined as a stage pressure drop rate less than 0.1MPa / d (i.e. 0.1MPa / day).
[0094] After determining the time range for well blocking after the bottom hole pressure tends to stabilize, the optimal well blocking time is obtained according to the time range for well blocking in the stabilized stage. For example, the well blocking time point in the stabilized stage is taken as the optimal well blocking time. For example, if the well blocking time in the stabilized stage is from the 15th day, the optimal well blocking time is 15 days. Or, the two days after the well blocking time point in the stabilized stage are taken as the optimal well blocking time. For example, if the well blocking time in the stabilized stage is from the 15th day, the optimal well blocking time is 17 days.
[0095] The gas reservoir numerical model is used to determine the bottom hole pressures corresponding to multiple different well blocking times, and then the well blocking time range in the stage where the bottom hole pressure tends to be stable is determined based on each bottom hole pressure, so as to obtain the optimal backflow well blocking time; at the same time, the gas reservoir numerical model is used to set different gas well production pressure differences, simulate different nozzle characteristics or different nozzle characteristic change trends, and obtain multiple cumulative gas productions in a preset time period, and then determine the backflow nozzle design scheme that achieves the optimal production capacity based on each cumulative gas production and the correspondence between the nozzle characteristics and the gas well production pressure difference; optimize the well blocking time after fracturing of shale gas wells to achieve full penetration and oil placement of fracturing fluid, and combine with the optimized backflow nozzle design scheme to further improve the production capacity and development effect of shale gas wells.
[0096] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a gas reservoir numerical model may be constructed first. Specifically, a geological model is established through geological structure modeling, geological lithofacies modeling, and physical property modeling; and a gas reservoir numerical model is established based on geological model data output by the geological model, as well as fluid physical property parameters and fracturing fracture data.
[0097] The disclosed embodiment establishes a geological model by comprehensively considering geological structure, geological lithofacies, and physical properties, and then establishes a gas reservoir numerical model by combining geological model data output by the geological model with factors such as fluid physical property parameters and fracturing fracture data. This can reasonably optimize any one or combination of well blocking time and choke schemes, and is no longer blind, and has high efficiency and precision, thereby improving the production capacity and development effect of shale gas wells.
[0098] Before establishing the model, data can be collected first. Exemplarily, the collected data include geological modeling data, numerical modeling data and wellbore perfusion model data, wherein the geological modeling data include wellhead coordinates, core elevation, well inclination, logging data (such as logging curves), seismic data and other information; the numerical modeling data include fluid state equation PVT data (PVT, a state equation used to describe the relationship between fluid pressure, molar volume and temperature in equilibrium), phase permeability data, capillary force data, fracturing fluid injection data, production data and other information; the wellbore pipe flow model data include: wellbore structure, wellhead dynamic data and other information.
[0099] Specifically, for geological structure modeling, the wellhead coordinates, logging curves, seismic data and other information are input, and the main steps such as layer comparison, fault description and boundary setting are carried out in sequence to establish the target block structural model. The grid plane size, that is, the X and Y lengths of the grid unit are set to 1 / 300 to 1 / 200 of the horizontal section of the shale gas well.
[0100] For geological lithofacies modeling, the geological lithofacies are first divided according to the mud content; then the sequential Gaussian algorithm is used, and the preset nugget values corresponding to different geological rocks are set, and the main range and secondary range are set according to the length of the horizontal section to complete the geological lithofacies modeling. Mud content (Vsh) is an important factor affecting the fracturing effect of shale gas reservoirs. According to the different mud contents, three geological lithofacies can be divided, namely, sandstone: Vsh≤35%, mud sandstone: 35%<Vsh≤65%, mudstone: Vsh>65%. When modeling the lithofacies, the sequential Gaussian algorithm can be used, and the preset nugget value, main range and secondary range are set. For example, the nugget value is set to 0.1, the main range is set to 70% to 90% of the horizontal section length, and the secondary range is set to 30% to 50% of the horizontal section length.
[0101] For physical property modeling, the well logging curves can be coarsened first; then geological lithofacies, logging data, and seismic data are mutually constrained, and inter-well property interpolation is performed based on a combination of sequential Gaussian and Kriging interpolation to complete physical property modeling. Coarsening well logging curves, such as vertically coarsening porosity, permeability, and gas content logging curves, matches the well logging curves with the vertical grid units, and the permeability is coarsened using the mathematical averaging method, and other parameters can be coarsened using the harmonic mean method. Using the "geological lithofacies + logging data + seismic data" multiple constraint method, the principle of combining sequential Gaussian and Kriging interpolation is used to interpolate well properties, reduce the uncertainty and error of the difference in physical properties between wells, and improve the accuracy of physical property modeling. For example, the lithofacies model is used to constrain the porosity attribute and gas content attribute, and the porosity model is used to constrain the permeability attribute.
[0102] In the process of geological model construction, in order to make the grid system reflect the heterogeneity and non-uniformity of shale reservoirs as much as possible, and make the simulation results fully reflect the control and influence of various geological factors such as lithofacies and microstructures and various development factors on the movement and distribution of gas and water in the reservoir, when the model grid is divided, for example, there are 70 simulation layers in the vertical direction; the step length in the X direction is 10m, and the step length in the Y direction is 10m on the plane, which can basically meet the requirements of studying the physical properties of shale gas reservoirs and the laws of fluid movement. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a geological model of a target block according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0103] For the establishment of the gas reservoir numerical model, numerical simulation software can be used to establish the gas reservoir numerical model based on the geological model data output by the geological model, as well as the fluid physical property parameters and fracturing fracture data.
[0104] Specifically, (1) the geological model data output by the geological model is imported into the numerical simulation software.
[0105] The established geological model can output Petrel fine geological model data. The output geological model data includes data output of the target well in the well trajectory file format according to the data body. The data body includes one or any combination of grid coordinate and depth data body, grid permeability data body, porosity data body, and gas content data body, and even includes other data bodies. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the number of data body types and the fineness of the relationship model. Preferably, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, it includes grid coordinate and depth data body, grid permeability data body, porosity data body, gas content data body, etc., and the target well is output in the well trajectory file format. The file output by the Petrel fine geological model is imported into the numerical simulation software CMG software to generate a preliminary gas reservoir numerical model in CMG.
[0106] (2) Add fluid physical property parameters in the numerical simulation software, set two sets of relative permeability curves for matrix and fracture, and add double permeability keywords to form a single-pore double-permeability model.
[0107] The fluid physical property parameters include at least one of fluid volume coefficient, fluid density, fluid viscosity, rock compression coefficient, relative permeability and capillary force curve. Specifically, after the geological model data is imported into the CMG numerical simulation software, the fluid physical property parameters such as fluid volume coefficient, fluid density, fluid viscosity, rock compression coefficient, relative permeability and capillary force curve can be added to the CMG numerical simulation software in combination with the rock and fluid physical property parameters measured by the core and fluid PVT indoor experiments. Taking into account the great differences in pore characteristics and seepage capacity between the matrix and the hydraulic fractures, in order to set up the gas reservoir numerical model more accurately and realistically, the embodiment of the present disclosure combines the relative permeability curves measured by the core wells of the block, and also sets two sets of relative permeability curves for the matrix and the fracture in the numerical simulation software for the gas reservoir numerical model, namely the matrix relative permeability curve and the fracture relative permeability curve, which are respectively applicable to the matrix and fracture reservoirs, with reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 is the matrix relative permeability curve, Figure 5 is the fracture relative permeability curve.
[0108] The DUALPERM keyword (dual permeability keyword) is added to the gas reservoir numerical model to form a single-pore dual-permeability model to describe the natural fractures of the shale reservoir. The keyword parameters such as PERMI*FRACTURE (X-direction fracture permeability), PERMJ*FRACTURE (Y-direction fracture permeability), PERMK*FRACTURE (Z-direction fracture permeability), DIFRAC (X-direction fracture density), DJFRAC (Y-direction fracture density), and DKFRAC (Z-direction fracture density) are used to describe the permeability and density of natural fractures. Then, the natural fractures of the model are set, and a gas reservoir numerical model considering natural fractures is established.
[0109] The fluid physical properties and PVT attribute parameters reflect the flow capacity of the model fluid, including: water density under ground conditions, formation water volume coefficient, gas volume coefficient, formation water viscosity, gas viscosity under formation conditions, gas compressibility coefficient, formation water compressibility coefficient, rock compressibility coefficient, ground pressure, ground temperature, original gas reservoir temperature, saturation pressure and other parameters. Other data can use the default data of CMG numerical simulation software.
[0110] (3) Setting artificial fracturing crack data in the numerical simulation software, the artificial fracturing crack data including any combination of artificial fracturing crack position, artificial fracturing crack attribute, artificial fracturing crack height and artificial fracturing crack half length.
[0111] For the setting of artificial fracturing crack positions: According to the fracturing design plan, the locations of the horizontal section of the shale gas well fractures are determined, and the "one cluster one encryption" method is adopted to logarithmically encrypt the corresponding grids of each cluster to fully describe the development of artificial fracturing cracks and improve the convergence of the model. Each artificial fracturing crack is divided into two areas, from the inside to the outside: the main fracturing crack and the transformation area.
[0112] For the setting of artificial fracturing crack properties: artificial fracturing cracks are set using the logarithmic grid encryption method, the encrypted central grid is used to describe the main fracturing seam, and the adjacent grids are described as the transformation area. The artificial fracturing crack opening and artificial fracturing crack permeability are set based on the conductivity of the encrypted grid being equal to that of the artificial fracturing crack.
[0113] Setting of artificial fracturing crack height: The artificial fracturing crack height is set by setting the number of layers that the artificial fracturing crack passes through above and below the perforation layer.
[0114] Setting of half-length of artificial fracturing cracks: Based on the microseismic monitoring results after each section of artificial fracturing, the half-length of artificial fracturing cracks is set.
[0115] The artificial fracturing crack data of the model is set by setting parameters such as the artificial fracturing crack position, artificial fracturing crack opening, artificial fracturing crack permeability, artificial fracturing crack height and artificial fracturing crack half-length. Figure 6 6 is a reference schematic diagram for setting artificial fracturing fracture data, wherein 61 represents the wellbore, 62 represents the matrix, 63 represents the main fracturing fracture, and 64 represents the transformation area.
[0116] (4) Initialize the gas reservoir numerical model.
[0117] The balance method is used to initialize the gas reservoir numerical model. The medium depth of the gas reservoir, reference pressure, and gas-water interface depth are input into the CMG gas reservoir numerical model, and the pressure field and saturation field initialization are performed on the gas reservoir numerical model.
[0118] Among them, the initialization of pressure field is specifically: taking the formation pressure of a certain depth in the field test as the benchmark, the formation pressure of each grid of the gas reservoir numerical model is calculated through the hydrostatic relationship and fluid density. The initialization of saturation field is specifically: using the oil-water and gas-water interface depths in the field test and the capillary force curve measured experimentally to calculate the gas-water saturation corresponding to different depths. In the calculation of gas-water saturation distribution, the water saturation below the gas-water interface is set to the maximum water saturation of the movable zone in the gas-water relative permeability curve, and the gas saturation above the gas-water interface is set to the maximum gas saturation of the movable zone in the gas-water relative permeability curve. The gas and water saturations in the transition zone are calculated by the provided capillary force curve.
[0119] (5) Set the expansion and compaction curve.
[0120] Since shale gas reservoirs have well-developed natural fractures and are stress sensitive, an expansion and compaction curve is set in the gas reservoir numerical model to correlate the pore pressure with the changes in porosity and permeability of the shale gas reservoir without directly calculating the relationship between stress and strain. Figure 7 , Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the relationship between expansion and compaction curves.
[0121] (6) Set up gas wells in the gas reservoir numerical model.
[0122] On the one hand, according to the requirement that the perforation position information of the gas well in the gas reservoir numerical model corresponds to the xyz sequence number of the geological model grid, the coincidence correspondence between each perforation point in the gas reservoir numerical model and the geological model grid is corrected. On the other hand, shale gas well parameters are set, including well type, production system data (such as daily gas production, daily production, cumulative gas production, etc.), wellbore radius, skin coefficient, etc.
[0123] Through the above (1) to (6), the gas reservoir numerical model is established.
[0124] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the established gas reservoir numerical model may be further calibrated.
[0125] Specifically, adjacent wells in the same layer are selected to perform historical matching verification on the gas reservoir numerical model. The historical matching parameters include: reserves, daily production, cumulative production, water content, bottom hole pressure, etc., and the matching is carried out in the order of first fitting reserves and then fitting production performance.
[0126] In the process of historical matching, since the gas reservoir numerical model has many changing parameters and a large adjustable degree of freedom, parameter sensitivity analysis can be performed to determine the adjustable parameters that have a significant impact on the fitting results. By modifying and calculating the adjustable parameters, the adjustable range of the geological parameters of the gas reservoir numerical model is determined, so that the modification of the gas reservoir numerical model parameters is within a reasonable and acceptable range.
[0127] For example, the reserve error is less than 5%, the single well production dynamic fitting rate is greater than 90%, the late fitting accuracy of shale gas wells is greater than the early and mid-term fitting accuracy, and the parameters of the model are modified in the whole area or part of the area through historical matching to obtain the final gas reservoir numerical model. Based on the historical matching verification, the parameters of the gas reservoir numerical model are modified in the whole area or part of the area to obtain the final gas reservoir numerical model.
[0128] The adjustment of the parameters of the gas reservoir numerical model may, for example, include the adjustment of porosity, the adjustment of permeability, the adjustment of relative permeability curve, the adjustment of rock and fluid compressibility coefficient, etc.
[0129] Porosity is the main factor affecting reserves. During the fitting process, according to the difference in reserves between different sub-layers and the whole, reasonable and small adjustments can be made to the porosity in individual areas. The porosity of artificial fracturing fractures can be used to correct the model reserves and also to fit the pressure of the fracturing fluid injection stage, as shown in the following calculation formula (1). By changing the porosity of artificial fracturing fractures φ nh , the injection volume of the model can be adjusted to fit the pressure in the fracturing stage.
[0130] Q 实际注入 =V·S w ·(φ nh -φ int )+Q 模型注入 (1)
[0131] Among them, Q 实际注入 The injection volume of fracturing fluid during the actual on-site fracturing process, in m 3 ;
[0132] Q 模型注入 The fracturing fluid injection volume set for the gas reservoir numerical model, in m 3 ;
[0133] V is the volume of artificial fracture, in m 3 ;
[0134] S w is the water saturation, as a decimal;
[0135] φ int is the original porosity, as a decimal;
[0136] φ nh It is the porosity of artificial fracturing fractures after correction, as a decimal.
[0137] Regarding the adjustment of the permeability K, since there are certain differences between the logging interpretation data and the core analysis results and the actual situation, and the permeabilities of the wells in the gas reservoir also vary greatly, the permeabilities of the various layers in the gas reservoir vary greatly in the plane and vertical directions. During the fitting process, the permeability value can be adjusted in the range of 0.01 to 100 times.
[0138] Regarding the adjustment of the relative permeability curve, since the measured matrix relative permeability curve only reflects the situation in a limited area, the matrix relative permeability curve can be treated as an uncertain parameter. After giving a suitable initial value, a larger adjustment can be made according to the actual dynamic situation of the gas reservoir.
[0139] Regarding the adjustment of rock and fluid compressibility coefficient C, the variation range of these coefficients is generally small and can be treated as determined parameters. However, due to the influence of saturation pressure in the rock, pressure, temperature and dissolved gas in the gas reservoir, some necessary adjustments can be made to the rock and fluid compressibility coefficients during the fitting process. In addition, appropriate and minor adjustments can be made to the PVT properties of oil, gas and water during the fitting process.
[0140] After modifying the parameters of the gas reservoir numerical model in the whole area or in part of the area in the above manner, the final gas reservoir numerical model is obtained.
[0141] The corresponding relationship between the nozzle characteristics and the gas well production pressure difference can be determined by using the wellbore pipe flow model. The construction of the wellbore pipe flow model can refer to the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.
[0142] After obtaining the final gas reservoir numerical model and wellbore pipe flow model, the simulation scheme is confirmed. In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the nozzle design scheme and the well blocking time scheme are simulated at the same time. For the simulation of the nozzle scheme, countless schemes with different nozzle characteristic change trends are simulated from three aspects: nozzle size, the change amplitude of each nozzle size, and the working duration of each nozzle size. For example, a simulation scheme: the nozzles are from small to large, and the liquid is discharged continuously. The working duration of each nozzle size is not less than 10 days. The change amplitude of each nozzle size is 2 mm. The cumulative gas production of the shale gas well under this scheme can be clearly seen. By simulating countless different nozzle characteristic change trends, the nozzle characteristic change trend scheme corresponding to the optimal cumulative gas production can be found, and then used as the return nozzle characteristic scheme or the return nozzle characteristic change trend scheme. For the simulation of the well blocking time plan, a period of time, such as sixty days, can be input, and then the gas reservoir numerical model can display the bottom hole pressure corresponding to each time point during this period as the well blocking time increases in the form of a curve, analyze the change pattern of bottom hole pressure under different well blocking times, and then determine the well blocking time range after the bottom hole pressure tends to the stable stage, and finally get the optimal return well blocking time plan.
[0143] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the nozzle size can be between 2mm and 10mm, the size change range of each level of nozzle can be between 0.5-2mm, and the working duration of each level of nozzle can be between 1-15 days for automatic simulation.
[0144] Since the CMG software cannot directly set nozzle characteristics such as nozzle size, the embodiment of the present disclosure first establishes a corresponding relationship between the nozzle characteristics and the gas well production pressure difference, and sets different gas well production pressure differences in the gas reservoir numerical model to simulate the cumulative gas production under different nozzle characteristic schemes, thereby optimizing the nozzle scheme.
[0145] The disclosed embodiment utilizes a gas reservoir numerical model to obtain multiple cumulative gas productions in a preset time period by setting different gas well production pressure differences to simulate different nozzle characteristics or different nozzle characteristic change trends, and then, based on each cumulative gas production and in combination with the correspondence between the nozzle characteristics and the gas well production pressure difference, the nozzle characteristics or nozzle characteristic change trends corresponding to the better cumulative gas production are determined as a return nozzle characteristic scheme or a return nozzle characteristic change trend scheme, thereby avoiding the blindness of selecting nozzle size based on experience; combined with the optimization of the return well blocking time, the return effect can be further improved; in the process of establishing the wellbore pipe flow model, the attribute characteristics of various aspects of the wellbore, such as the wellbore structure characteristics and the production parameters, are comprehensively considered, so that when establishing the correspondence between the nozzle characteristics and the gas well production pressure difference, the accuracy is improved; in the process of constructing the gas reservoir numerical model, the shale formation characteristics, the artificial fracturing fractures and the natural fracture network, the fracturing fluid injection and the shale reservoir imbibition capacity and other factors are comprehensively considered, and geological modeling, gas reservoir numerical simulation and node analysis methods are utilized. Through the above, the comprehensive geological model, wellbore flow model and gas reservoir numerical model have overcome the blindness of the existing flowback design scheme, achieved reasonable flowback after shale gas well compression, and improved the shale gas well production capacity and development effect.
