Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shale gas exploration and development, and in particular to a method for evaluating the productivity of marine-continental transitional phase shale gas based on p-EDFM. Background Art

[0002] The development of marine-continental transitional shale gas reservoirs faces many challenges, including vertical multi-lithology stacking, poor lateral continuity, thin thickness of favorable layers, and differentiated shale gas enrichment caused by the variability of sedimentary environment. These factors cause large fluctuations in shale gas well production and make it difficult to predict gas well production capacity. At present, multi-stage fracturing horizontal well technology is usually used to develop shale gas reservoirs. After hydraulic fracturing, a complex fracture network structure is formed. In the production capacity evaluation, it is necessary to accurately characterize the fracture morphology and physical properties to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the production capacity evaluation.

[0003] Fracture characterization methods are mainly divided into explicit and implicit methods. The implicit fracture characterization method regards a large number of discrete and disordered reservoir fractures as continuous media. In 1963, Warren and Root proposed a fracture-matrix dual medium model, setting porosity and permeability parameters for the two systems respectively. In 1976, Kazemi modified the Warren-Root model by constructing a multiphase fluid conduction function that considers capillary forces and matrix shape factors. In 1985, Pruess et al. further proposed a multi-medium model, which made a more detailed division of the matrix system in the dual medium model. These models have become classic methods for implicit fracture characterization and simulation of fractured reservoirs. However, for horizontal wells with complex fracture network structures, these methods have large errors from the actual situation. In view of the above situation, researchers tend to use explicit fracture characterization methods. The explicit characterization method models each fracture separately, and the commonly used simulation method is the discrete fracture model (DFN). The DFN model can better characterize the distribution properties of fractures in the reservoir, but there is still a large distortion in the description of the matrix system. To this end, in 2000, Lee et al. proposed the embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM), which constructs two systems, the fracture and the matrix, and uses a connection pair to communicate the two. EDFM inherits the advantages of the DFN model and can effectively construct complex fracture systems. At the same time, it does not require mesh fitting of fracture morphology or local encryption processing, thereby significantly reducing the computational cost. In 2017, Tene et al. further proposed the p-EDFM model, which improved the shortcomings of EDFM in simulating low-permeability fractures.

[0004] At present, these methods are usually used to evaluate the production capacity of the entire gas reservoir, but because there are multiple layers in the marine-continental transitional shale, it is difficult to accurately track the production capacity changes of each layer. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out targeted research to optimize the calculation method of the existing model to achieve accurate tracking of the output of each layer of the marine-continental transitional shale. Summary of the invention

[0005] Aiming at the problem that the existing gas reservoir productivity evaluation methods are difficult to accurately track the productivity changes of each layer of marine-continental transitional phase shale, the present invention provides a marine-continental transitional phase shale gas productivity evaluation method based on p-EDFM.

[0006] The p-EDFM-based method for evaluating the productivity of shale gas in the marine-continental transition phase provided by the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0007] S1: Obtain basic parameters of reservoirs, fractures, and wells;

[0008] The parameters obtained include the geometric parameters of the matrix, fractures and wells, the basic physical properties of the matrix and fractures, and the gas-water relative permeability curves and capillary force curves of the matrix and fractures, as well as the gas-water two-phase PVT data, wellbore parameters and skin factors.

[0074] In the formula, G fF is the connection pair of natural fractures and artificial fractures, dimensionless; P f is the pressure of the natural fracture grid, MPa.

[0075] Compared with the prior art, the present invention is beneficial in that:

[0076] (1) Based on the p-EDFM model, the present invention is based on the multiple continuous medium model and the embedded discrete fracture model. By dividing the target stratum into matrix grid, microfracture grid and artificial fracture grid, the accurate characterization of the complex fracture system is achieved. In view of the vertical heterogeneity of the marine-continental transitional shale, a layered processing method is adopted to layer the matrix grid, and the physical property parameters of different rock types and the corresponding apparent permeability model are introduced, so that the description of the fracture morphology and seepage characteristics is more accurate.

[0077] (2) The fracture surface is reduced in dimension according to the parameters of the artificial fractures, and the crossflow coefficient is used to characterize the pressure exchange between grids. The flow exchange between different grids is further calculated, which optimizes the exchange process of pressure and flow between grids. Combined with the layer tracking technology, the output of each lithology can be accurately obtained, thus solving the technical problem that the traditional model cannot accurately track the layer production capacity.

[0078] (3) The combination of the multiple continuous medium model and the embedded discrete fracture model overcomes the shortcomings of each model. The combination of the two can better reflect the widely distributed microcracks, large-scale artificial fractures and heterogeneous stratigraphic characteristics of transitional shale gas reservoirs.

[0079] (4) The method of the present invention can not only improve the accuracy of the production capacity evaluation of marine-continental transitional phase shale gas reservoirs, but also has low calculation cost and high model adaptability. It is suitable for the development and evaluation of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs and has wide application value.
