Among them, the horizontal well cluster perforation spacing is a key parameter in the design of volume fracturing in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, and the size of the cluster spacing has an important impact on the fracturing transformation of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. Reasonable optimization design of horizontal well fracturing cluster spacing has important theoretical value and practical significance in the mine, and can effectively improve the blindness of horizontal well segmented perforation distribution.

[0032] In the process of horizontal well fracturing and exploitation in oil and gas fields, the horizontal well perforation cluster is used to release fluids such as water into the surrounding soil to form cracks in the soil near the horizontal well, thereby realizing the exploitation of oil and gas. In the actual operation of the perforation cluster, if the cluster spacing of the perforation cluster is too small, it will cause the transformation areas between the main fractures of the clusters to overlap and affect the competition between the fractures, thus reducing the efficiency of the fracturing transformation; too large a cluster spacing will produce untransformed areas between the main fractures, affecting the degree of reservoir utilization. Therefore, based on the consideration of soil properties, the inventor of the present application proposed a method for determining the spacing of horizontal well fracturing hole clusters based on the soil fracture conductivity characteristics.
[0033] Figure 1 The following schematically shows a flow chart of a method for determining the spacing between fracturing holes in a horizontal well according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining the spacing between fracturing hole clusters in a horizontal well, which may include the following steps:
[0034] S102, obtaining a well logging curve of a target fracturing section, a net pressure fracture fitting result of the target fracturing section, rock sample compression experimental data of the target fracturing section, and fluid sample compression experimental data and fluid viscosity experimental data of the fluid sample of the target fracturing section;
[0035] S104, determining the stress shadow of the fracturing hole cluster of the target fracturing section according to the well logging curve and the net pressure fracture fitting result;
[0036] S106, determining the influence distance of the stress shadow of the fracturing hole cluster according to the stress shadow;
[0037] S108, determining the fracture spacing corresponding to the mass transfer distance of oil and gas flowing from the matrix to the fractures in the target fracturing section according to the well logging curve, rock sample compression test data, fluid sample compression test data, and fluid viscosity test data;
[0038] S110, determining the fracturing hole cluster spacing according to the minimum value between the influence distance and the fracture spacing.
[0039] The method for determining the spacing of horizontal well fracturing hole clusters provided in the embodiment of the present application is based on well logging curves and fracture simulation to determine the soil characteristics of the target fracturing section, and thereby determine the stress shadow and fracture spacing that can be generated by the fluid released by the fracturing hole clusters for fracturing the soil at the target fracturing section. The minimum value of the stress shadow and the fracture spacing is selected to determine the spacing of the fracturing hole clusters, so that the horizontal wells of the target fracturing section can fully utilize the reservoir, and the adjacent fracturing hole clusters of the horizontal wells are kept at a reasonable cluster spacing.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the stress shadow in step S104 may be implemented by the following steps:
[0041] According to the logging curve and the net pressure fracture fitting results, the stress shadow of the target fracturing section is determined by the analytical expression of the induced stress field generated by the constant height two-dimensional vertical fracture of the isotropic homogeneous linear elastic material;
[0042] Alternatively, the stress shadow of the target fracturing section can be determined by the Boussinet equation based on the well logging curve and the net pressure fracture fitting results.
[0043] In the above embodiment, the analytical expression of the induced stress field generated by the constant-height two-dimensional vertical crack of the isotropic homogeneous linear elastic material can be used to analyze the secondary crack distribution in the stress concentration area, and can describe the singularity of the crack tip in a relatively detailed manner, and can provide a good quantitative description of the early stage of crack expansion. The Boussinet equation is more suitable for far-field stress distribution and the influence of a large range of loads, and the calculation is simple and the results are stable. The staff can choose the above two methods of determining the stress shadow according to the soil properties of the target fracturing section and the required analysis requirements for the crack details.
[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, according to the well logging curve and the net pressure fracture fitting result, the stress shadow of the target fracturing section is determined by the analytical expression of the induced stress field generated by the constant height two-dimensional vertical fracture of the isotropic homogeneous linear elastic material, which may include:
[0045] Determine the average Young's modulus and average Poisson's ratio of the target fracturing section according to the logging curve, and determine the average fracture width and average fracture height of the fracturing section according to the net pressure fracture fitting result;
[0046] According to the average Young's modulus, average Poisson's ratio, average fracture width and average fracture height of the hydraulic fracture, the stress shadow is determined through the analytical expression of the induced stress field generated by the constant-height two-dimensional vertical fracture of the isotropic homogeneous linear elastic material.
[0047] It can be understood that the analytical expression of the induced stress field generated by a constant-height two-dimensional vertical crack in an isotropic homogeneous linear elastic material includes:
[0048]
[0049] Among them, σ xx is the stress perpendicular to the crack direction, p net is the net pressure in the fracture, E is the average Young's modulus in the target fracturing section, W is the average width of the fracture, v is the average Poisson's ratio in the section, a is the height of the fracture. If θ, θ1, θ2 are less than 0, then v, θ1, θ2 are added with ∏.
[0050] Based on the above formulas (1) to (10), σ is determined xx When the term is zero or a value close to 0, the value of x is the maximum distance of the stress shadow, which can be used as the influence distance of the stress shadow of the fracturing hole cluster in step S106 to determine the spacing between the fracturing hole clusters.
[0051] Specifically, determining the average fracture width and average fracture height of the fractured section according to the net pressure fracture fitting result may include: determining the average fracture width and average fracture height of the fractured section according to the production performance analysis of the early fractured well and the net pressure fracture fitting result of the construction curve.
[0052] As an example, determining the average fracture width and average fracture height of a fractured section based on production dynamic analysis of an early fractured well and a net pressure fracture fitting result of a construction curve may include: determining the average fracture width of a fractured section based on optical fiber monitoring of an early fractured well and a net pressure fracture fitting result of a construction curve, and determining the average fracture height of a fractured section based on microseismic monitoring of an early fractured well and a net pressure fracture fitting result of a construction curve.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, determining the stress shadow of the target fracturing section through the Boucinnet equation according to the well logging curve and the net pressure fracture fitting result may include:
[0054] Determine the average Young's modulus of the target fracturing section according to the logging curve, and determine the average fracture width of the fracturing section according to the net pressure fracture fitting result;
[0055] According to the average Young's modulus and the average width of the fracturing crack, the stress shadow of the target fracturing section is determined by coupling the shear boundary condition and the Boucinnet equation under the pore-elastic effect.
[0056] It can be understood that the Boucinnet equation under the coupled shear boundary condition and the pore-elastic effect can be, for example,:
[0057]
[0058] Among them, σ is the stress term, Z is the distance from the crack surface, E is the average Young's modulus in the segment, w is the average crack width of the fracturing crack, and t is the variable transverse crack index. In order to meet the solution of ideal linear elastic full coupled deformation, the upper limit of the transverse crack stress index t is 2; the lower limit is 1, which means that there is very strong interference between adjacent cracks. Fiber distributed temperature testing and distributed sound testing (DTS / DAS), as well as other diagnostic tests injected into densely distributed cracks, all show that the transverse crack stress index is 1.2, and t is generally 1.2.
[0059] Based on formula (11), the Z value when σ is zero is determined to be the maximum distance of the stress shadow determined by the Boucinnet equation under the coupled shear boundary condition and the pore-bomb effect. This distance can be used as the influence distance of the stress shadow of the fracturing hole cluster in step S106 to determine the spacing between the fracturing hole clusters.
[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, step S108 may include:
[0061] Determine the permeability and porosity in the fracturing section according to the well logging curve, determine the rock compression coefficient of the rock sample according to the rock sample compression test data, determine the fluid compression coefficient of the fluid sample according to the fluid sample compression test data, and determine the fluid viscosity of the fluid sample according to the fluid viscosity test data;
[0062] Based on the one-dimensional diffusion equation of linear flow, the fracture spacing corresponding to the mass transfer distance is determined according to the permeability, porosity, rock compressibility, fluid compressibility and fluid viscosity.
[0063] It can be understood that the linear flow one-dimensional diffusion equation can be, for example,:
[0064]
[0065] Where τ is the preset production life, l is the mass transfer distance, κ = k / (φB f +B r )η is the hydraulic diffusivity; B f is the fluid compressibility coefficient; B r is the rock compression coefficient; φ is the rock porosity; η is the fluid viscosity of oil and gas; k is the rock permeability, L is the fracture spacing, and α is the power function exponent of the linear flow production time and the fracture spacing. Based on formula (12), after determining the preset linear flow production period, the corresponding fracture spacing L can be obtained.
[0066] Specifically, the compression test data of fluid samples can be obtained through PVT (pressure-volume-temperature) tests and isothermal compression tests of fluid samples; the compression test data of rock samples can be obtained through core compression tests and triaxial compression tests of rock samples; and the fluid viscosity test data can be obtained through capillary viscometer tests and rotational viscometer tests. α can be determined by the slope of the production and material balance time on the double logarithmic graph during bilinear flow in formation fractures and linear flow in formations, and its value can be, for example, 2 or 4.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the linear flow one-dimensional diffusion equation, according to the permeability, porosity, rock compressibility, fluid compressibility and fluid viscosity, determining the fracture spacing corresponding to the mass transfer distance may include:
[0068] Based on the linear flow one-dimensional diffusion equation, the relationship between the production life of the production wells in the target fracturing section and the mass transfer distance is determined according to the permeability, porosity, rock compressibility, fluid compressibility and fluid viscosity;
[0069] According to the relationship between the production well life and mass transfer distance of the target fracturing section, the fracture spacing corresponding to the mass transfer distance of the production wells of the target fracturing section under the target production life is determined.
[0070] In the above embodiment, referring to formula (12), there is a correlation between the preset production years and the characteristic diffusion distance. Therefore, according to formula (12), the following equation can be drawn: Figure 3 The relationship curve between production years and mass transfer distance is shown in FIG. Therefore, the staff can select the appropriate production well age to determine the mass transfer distance of the target fracturing section and determine the fracture spacing corresponding to the mass transfer distance based on formula (12).
[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the stress shadow of the fracturing hole cluster in step S104 is the stress shadow when the fracturing hole cluster has a preset number of open fracturing holes; the fracture spacing corresponding to the mass transfer distance of oil and gas flowing from the matrix to the fracture in step S108 is the fracture spacing corresponding to the mass transfer distance of oil and gas flowing from the matrix to the fracture when the fracturing hole cluster has a preset number of open fracturing holes. The method for determining the spacing of horizontal well fracturing hole clusters provided in the embodiments of the present application, see Figure 2 , and may also include:
[0072] S202, obtaining the number of effective openings of the fracturing hole cluster of the target fracturing section;
[0073] S204, determining an average effective opening ratio of the fracturing hole clusters of the target fracturing section according to the ratio of the number of effective openings to a preset number of fracturing holes;
[0074] Step S110 may include:
[0075] S112. Determine the fracturing hole cluster spacing according to the product of the minimum value of the impact distance and the fracture spacing and the average effective opening ratio.
[0076] In the process of determining the influencing distance and the mass transfer distance, the number of openings of a fracturing hole cluster is generally preset. Since changes in the number of fracturing hole clusters will directly affect the ability of the fluid used for fracturing to expand into the soil, that is, the above-mentioned influencing distance and mass transfer distance will be changed. Therefore, when the method for determining the spacing between fracturing hole clusters in horizontal wells provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied, the spacing between the fracturing hole clusters can be adjusted according to the ratio of the number of effective openings of the target fracturing section to the preset number of fracturing holes. Therefore, if the staff determines the spacing between the fracturing hole clusters in the target fracturing section, then in other fracturing sections with soil properties similar to or the same as the target fracturing section, the spacing between the fracturing hole clusters in the target fracturing section is directly corrected according to the number of openings of its fracturing hole clusters to obtain the corrected spacing between the fracturing hole clusters, and it is applied to the fracturing sections with soil properties similar to or the same as the target fracturing section to achieve the determination of the spacing between the fracturing hole clusters in the horizontal well.
[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, in step S202, determining the number of effective openings may include: determining the number of effective openings of the fracturing hole cluster of the target fracturing section according to the logging curve of the target fracturing section.
[0078] The overall process of the method for determining the spacing between horizontal well fracturing hole clusters provided in the embodiment of the present application is illustrated below by way of example.
[0079] First, for each designated fracturing stage, the cluster spacing within a single stage is determined based on the stress shadow of hydraulic fracturing and the mass transfer distance formula for oil and gas flowing from the matrix to the fracture.
[0080] Specifically, the fracturing section may be divided into at least one section according to the distribution of the fracturing effect evaluation index of the volume fracturing horizontal well fracturing section, and the reservoir types to which adjacent sections belong are different; and the cluster spacing corresponding to each reservoir type is determined respectively.
[0081] The above-mentioned fracturing effect evaluation index characterizes the potential fracturing effect of the reservoir. For example, the fracturing effect evaluation index classification of each section can be made. The fracturing effect evaluation index has two types of indicators, namely reservoir quality and engineering quality. The sections with a fracturing effect evaluation index of "GG" within the preset range, that is, the reservoir quality and engineering quality are both "GOOD", are classified into Class I reservoirs, the sections with a fracturing effect evaluation index of "GB" and "BG", that is, the reservoir quality and engineering quality are one "GOOD" and the other "BAD", are classified into Class II reservoirs, and the sections with a fracturing effect evaluation index of "BB", that is, the reservoir quality and engineering quality are both "BAD", are classified into Class III reservoirs.
[0082] Then, the cluster spacing corresponding to each type of reservoir is determined for each type of reservoir. Take the cluster spacing determination of one type of reservoir as an example.
[0083] The cluster spacing within a single segment is determined based on the stress shadow of hydraulic fracturing and the mass transfer distance formula for oil and gas flowing from the matrix to the fracture. The stress shadow of hydraulic fracturing is determined by the analytical expression (plane strain condition) of the induced stress field generated by the constant height two-dimensional vertical fracture as shown in formulas (1) to (10) or the Boucinnet equation as shown in formula (11), and the formula for the effective distance of seepage mass transfer includes the linear flow one-dimensional diffusion equation as shown in formula (12).
[0084] Determine the distance A without stress shadow influence in a single section; determine the fracture spacing B corresponding to the seepage mass transfer distance within a fixed production period in a single section.
[0085] The above analytical expression of the stress field induced by the constant-height two-dimensional vertical crack can be based on the linear elastic theory, without the existence of shear plane or poroelastic effect. The Boucinnet equation can be based on the linear elastic homogeneous isotropic medium and can fully characterize the stress shadow after pumping is stopped.
[0086] The distance A without stress shadow influence can be determined by the value corresponding to the analytical expression of the constant height two-dimensional vertical crack induced stress field in formula (1) when it approaches 0, or the value corresponding to the Boucinnet equation in formula (11) when it approaches 0.
[0087] According to experimental data, the rock compression coefficient of a well in a certain oil field is 6×10 -11 Pa -1 , fluid compressibility coefficient 3×10 -8 Pa -1 , fluid viscosity 3.5×10 -5 Pa·s, the logging curve in a certain fracturing section shows an average permeability of 1 microdarcy, an average porosity of 0.09, an average Young's modulus of 40 GPa, and an average Poisson's ratio of 0.2. According to the production dynamic analysis and fracture fitting of the previous fractured wells, the hydraulic fracture height is 20m and the fracture width is 0.008m. Calculated by formulas (1) to (10), for example Figure 4 As shown in Figure 1, when the distance from the fracture surface is 40 m, the induced stress is very small and the amplitude of change is also small, so the minimum distance without stress shadow is 40 m. Or it can be calculated by formula (11), for example Figure 5 As shown, when 40m away from the crack surface, the induced stress is very small and the amplitude of change also becomes smaller, so the minimum distance without stress shadow is 40m.
[0088] The percolation mass transfer distance within a fixed production period in a single section can be the mass transfer distance corresponding to the average production period of oil and gas wells in the development area. Figure 3As shown in Figure 1, if the general production life of an oil and gas well is 3 years, the mass transfer distance is 30 m. Combining this with formula (12), the fracture spacing corresponding to the mass transfer distance can be obtained.
[0089] After obtaining the distance A without stress shadow influence and the fracture spacing B corresponding to the mass transfer distance within the fixed production life, the minimum value is multiplied by the perforation opening rate to obtain the engineering cluster spacing. For example, based on the smaller value of A and B, 30m is taken, and the perforation opening rate is 60% based on the experience of the development block, then the engineering cluster spacing is 18m.
