Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for predicting acid fracturing pressure by taking into account the acid corrosion degradation of rock mechanical properties, and belongs to the technical field of oil and gas well engineering. Background Technology

[0002] Deep carbonate formations contain rich oil and gas resources and are one of the key areas of oil and gas exploration and development in the future. However, deep carbonate formations generally have low permeability and natural fractures and caves. Using hydraulic fracturing technology to establish diversion channels is one of the measures for reservoir transformation. Among them, acid fracturing is particularly suitable for carbonate reservoirs and is widely used in actual engineering.

[0003] Carbonate rock acid fracturing is quite different from ordinary hydraulic fracturing. Acid fracturing not only involves fluid-solid coupling, but also chemical reactions between carbonate rock and acid solution, which changes the internal structural characteristics of the reservoir rock matrix, ultimately affecting the changes in rock mechanical parameters and thus achieving the effect of reducing reservoir fracture pressure. Therefore, when predicting the initiation pressure of acid fracturing, it is necessary to take into account the degradation of the mechanical properties of the reservoir rock under the action of acid corrosion.

[0004] In the design of acid fracturing, if the degradation effect caused by rock acidification is not fully considered, the designed fracturing pressure will usually be greater than the actual fracturing pressure. Construction under excessively large design parameters is very likely to cause excessive extension of cracks, resulting in crack cross-layer. The harm of crack cross-layer in acid fracturing is more serious than that of ordinary hydraulic fracturing. The fracturing fluid used in acid fracturing contains a large amount of acid, which will cause significant changes in the physical properties of non-target reservoirs and cause pollution. Part of the oil and gas in the target reservoir will migrate to the cross-layer strata, making it difficult to exploit. If the crack crosses the layer to the groundwater layer, the acid and oil and gas will enter the formation water layer together, which will seriously pollute the formation water. As the formation water flows, the scope of pollution is difficult to control, and the exploitation and use of formation water will directly endanger the health of animals, plants and humans. Therefore, in order to safely and sustainably exploit formation oil and gas resources, the changes in the properties of the reservoir rock after acidification must be considered when using acid fracturing to transform the reservoir.

[0005] Therefore, developing a method to predict the fracture pressure of acid fracturing considering the acid corrosion degradation of rock mechanical properties has become one of the urgent problems to be solved in this field. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting the acid fracturing pressure of acid fracturing considering the acid corrosion degradation of rock mechanical properties. This method comprehensively considers the influence of formation temperature and acid corrosion time on reservoir mechanical properties, predicts the acid fracturing pressure of acid fracturing, and can provide a theoretical basis for the design of field engineering parameters.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for predicting the fracture pressure of acid fracturing considering the acid-etching deterioration of rock mechanical properties, which comprises the following steps:

[0012] wherein, T is the acid-etching time, min; H is the acid-etching temperature, °C; E is the elastic modulus, MPa; μ is the Poisson's ratio, dimensionless quantity; σ t is the tensile strength, MPa;

[0013] S5. Integrate the acid-etched rock mechanical parameter - acid-etching temperature - acid-etching time model obtained in step S4 into the conventional formation fracture pressure model to obtain the acid fracturing fracture pressure prediction model considering the acid-etching deterioration of rock mechanical properties, as follows:

[0014]

[0015] wherein, P f is the fracture pressure, MPa; ξ 1 and ξ 2 are tectonic coefficients; P p is the formation pressure, MPa; α is the biot coefficient, σ z is the vertical stress, MPa; E is the elastic modulus, MPa; μ is the Poisson's ratio, dimensionless quantity; σ t is the tensile strength, MPa; E, μ and σt It is an acid-etched rock mechanical parameter - acid etching temperature - acid etching time model;

[0016] S6. Predict the formation fracture pressure according to the acid fracturing fracture pressure prediction model considering the acid-etching deterioration of rock mechanical properties obtained in step S5.

[0017] In the above method, preferably, in step S1, the standard uniaxial compression test rock samples and the standard splitting test rock samples are processed according to the methods described in GBT50266-2013 "Standard for Engineering Rock Mass Test Methods".

[0018] In the above method, preferably, step S3 specifically includes: placing the acid solution in a constant temperature oven and preheating it to the designed acid etching temperature, then immersing the standard uniaxial compression test rock samples and the standard splitting test rock samples in the acid solution. When the immersion time reaches the designed acid etching time, take out the rock samples, wipe the acid solution on the surface and air dry naturally to obtain the acid-etched uniaxial compression test rock samples and the acid-etched splitting test rock samples. Then, conduct uniaxial compression tests and splitting tests on the acid-etched uniaxial compression test rock samples and the acid-etched splitting test rock samples respectively to obtain uniaxial compression test data and splitting test data. Specifically, the uniaxial compression test and the splitting test are carried out according to the methods described in GBT50266-2013 "Standard for Engineering Rock Mass Test Methods".

[0022] In the above method, preferably, step S6 further includes: drawing an engineering layout of acid etching temperature (i.e., formation temperature), acid etching time and formation fracture pressure. The engineering layout can be used to guide the design of on-site engineering parameters.

[0023] The present invention provides a method for predicting the fracture pressure of acid fracturing considering the acid-etching deterioration of rock mechanical properties. In acid fracturing, the carbonate rock undergoes chemical dissolution with the acid solution, which changes the internal structural characteristics of the reservoir rock matrix, affects the change of rock mechanical parameters, and makes it difficult to predict the fracture pressure. The method of the present invention solves the above problems. This method comprehensively considers the influence of formation temperature and acid-etching time on the mechanical properties of the reservoir, predicts the fracture pressure of acid fracturing, and can provide a theoretical basis for the design of on-site engineering parameters. The method of the present invention starts from indoor experimental data, and gradually conducts experiments according to the steps of the present invention to obtain a prediction model for the fracture pressure of acid fracturing considering the acid-etching deterioration of rock mechanical properties, calculates the final predicted fracture pressure of acid fracturing, and guides the design of on-site engineering parameters through this model. In the prior art, acid fracturing does not consider the changes in rock elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and tensile strength under the action of acid solution. When predicting the formation fracture pressure, a conventional formation fracture pressure model is usually used, in which the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and tensile strength are fixed values, which conform to the rock state of ordinary hydraulic fracturing but do not conform to the rock state of acid fracturing. The present invention creatively integrates the acid-etched rock mechanical parameter - acid-etching temperature - acid-etching time model into the conventional formation fracture pressure model, so that the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and tensile strength in the obtained new model change with the acid-etching conditions of acid fracturing, which conforms to the rock state of acid fracturing. Therefore, the method of the present invention is applicable to the prediction of formation fracture pressure in acid fracturing, can simulate the initiation of acid fracturing cracks in carbonate rock formations under real formation conditions, improve the accuracy of fracture pressure prediction under acid fracturing conditions, improve the effectiveness of acid fracturing programs, thereby improve the construction success rate, reduce downhole complications, and thus reduce exploration and development costs.

Then, immerse the standard uniaxial compression test rock sample and the standard splitting test rock sample in the acid solution. When the immersion time reaches the designed acid-etching time, take out the rock samples, wipe the acid solution on the surface, and air-dry them naturally to obtain the acid-etched uniaxial compression test rock sample and the acid-etched splitting test rock sample. After that, conduct uniaxial compression tests and splitting tests on the acid-etched uniaxial compression test rock sample and the acid-etched splitting test rock sample respectively according to the methods described in the "Standard for Test Methods of Engineering Rock Masses" GBT50266-2013 to obtain uniaxial compression test data and splitting test data;

[0068] S4. Based on the uniaxial compression test data and splitting test data obtained in step S3, obtain the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and tensile strength of the acid-etched rock sample under certain acid-etching time and certain acid-etching temperature conditions;

[0083] E = 52.61992 + 0.40693×T - 0.23962×H - 0.00634×T 2 + 8.60539×10 -4 ×H 2

[0084] μ = 0.22081 - 0.00136×T - 3.05167×10 -4 ×H

[0085] σ t = (-0.00943×T + 3.73)×(-0.01114×H + 3.87)

[0086] S5. Integrate the acid-etched rock mechanics parameter - acid etching temperature - acid etching time model obtained in step S4 into the conventional formation fracture pressure model to obtain an acid fracturing fracture pressure prediction model considering the acid-etching deterioration of rock mechanics properties.

[0087] Wherein, the conventional formation fracture pressure model is as follows:

[0088]

[0089] Wherein, P f is the fracture pressure, in MPa; ξ 1 and ξ 2 are formation coefficients; P pwhere \(P_p\) is the formation pressure, in MPa; \(\alpha\) is the Biot coefficient, \(\sigma_z\) is the vertical stress, in MPa; \(E\) is the elastic modulus, in MPa; \(\mu\) is the Poisson's ratio, a dimensionless quantity; \(\sigma_t\) is the tensile strength, in MPa;

[0090] The acid fracturing breakdown pressure prediction model considering the acid corrosion deterioration of rock mechanical properties is as follows:

[0091]

[0092] where \(P\) f is the breakdown pressure, in MPa; \(\xi_1\) 1 and \(\xi_2\) 2 are structure coefficients; \(P_p\) p is the formation pressure, in MPa; \(\alpha\) is the Biot coefficient, \(\sigma\) z is the vertical stress, in MPa; \(E\) is the elastic modulus, in MPa; \(\mu\) is the Poisson's ratio, a dimensionless quantity; \(\sigma\) t is the tensile strength, in MPa; \(E\), \(\mu\) and \(\sigma\) t are the acid-etched rock mechanical parameter - acid-etched temperature - acid-etched time model;

[0093] It should be noted that \(\xi_1\) 1 , \(\xi_2\) 2 , \(P_p\) p , \(\alpha\) (Biot coefficient), \(\sigma\) z are all formation environment parameters, and can all be obtained by those skilled in the art through logging interpretation based on the data measured in actual engineering according to the methods in the prior art;

[0094] Taking the acid-etched rock mechanical parameter - acid-etched temperature - acid-etched time model shown in step S4 as an example, the acid fracturing breakdown pressure prediction model considering the acid corrosion deterioration of rock mechanical properties is obtained as follows:

[0095]

[0096] A = 52.6199 - 0.2396H + 8.6053×10 -4 H 2 + 0.4069T - 0.0063T 2

[0097] B = 3.0517×10 -4 H + 0.0014T

[0098] S6. According to the acid fracturing breakdown pressure prediction model considering the acid corrosion deterioration of rock mechanical properties obtained in step S5, the formation breakdown pressure under different acid-etched temperatures (i.e., formation temperatures) and acid-etched time conditions is obtained, and the engineering layout of acid-etched temperature (i.e., formation temperature), acid-etched time and formation breakdown pressure is drawn, as Figure 6As shown, the engineering layout can be used to guide the design of on-site engineering parameters.

[0099] In the conventional formation fracture pressure model, the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and tensile strength are fixed values, which are the original formation rock parameters. This model is applicable to ordinary hydraulic fracturing. In ordinary hydraulic fracturing, the fracturing fluid has no corrosive effect and has no impact on the mechanical properties of the formation rock, so its mechanical parameters are fixed values. However, when this model is applied to acid fracturing, a large error will occur. The main reason is that in acid fracturing, the acid fluid will react with the rock, and the mechanical properties of the rock will change and are not fixed values. In the method of the present invention, the acid-etched rock mechanical parameter - acid-etched temperature - acid-etched time model obtained based on experiments is embedded into the conventional formation fracture pressure model, so that the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and tensile strength in this model become dynamic values related to the acid-etched conditions, making this model applicable to acid fracturing.

[0100] In this embodiment, the acid fracturing initiation model is verified through on-site data. The target reservoir of a certain carbonate rock reservoir in Sichuan has a vertical depth of 5905 m; the overburden pressure is 155.3 MPa; the structure coefficients are 0.7742 and 0.5538; the formation temperature is 100 °C, the formation pressure is 60.18 MPa, and the Biot coefficient is 0.8. The reservoir stimulation is divided into two steps. First, gelled acid is injected into the target reservoir for 45 minutes to acidify the reservoir, and then slickwater is used for fracturing until the fracturing is completed. The fracture pressure is 93.4 MPa.

[0101] Substitute the above parameters into the fracture pressure prediction model of this embodiment, and the predicted fracture pressure is 87.8 MPa. The difference from the actual fracture pressure is 5.6 MPa, and the error is 6.0%.

[0102] As a comparison, without considering the change of acid-etched rock mechanical parameters, but using the conventional formation fracture pressure model, with the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and tensile strength being fixed values in the unacidified state, the predicted fracture pressure is 119.2 MPa, the difference from the actual fracture pressure is 25.8 MPa, and the error is 27.6%.

[0103] It can be seen from this that compared with the conventional method, the error between the predicted formation fracture pressure of the method of the present invention and the actual value is reduced by 20.2 MPa, and the accuracy is improved by 21.6%. Therefore, the prediction result of the acid fracturing fracture pressure prediction method considering the acid corrosion deterioration of rock mechanical properties provided by the present invention is more accurate.
