Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of oil and gas reservoir development, and particularly to a horizontal well fracturing simulation method, device, equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Unconventional oil and gas resources have the characteristic of low permeability, so reservoir stimulation methods such as fracturing are required to achieve industrial exploitation. In recent years, single-well multi-stage multi-cluster and intensive cutting fracturing technologies have been applied to large-scale reservoir stimulation construction on site. The spacing between multiple fracture clusters has been reduced from the original 30 - 60 m to 5 - 15 m, greatly increasing the oil and gas production of unconventional reservoirs. In addition, simultaneous fracturing, zipper fracturing and sequential fracturing have also been proposed between multiple horizontal wells, and the morphology of multiple fractures is more complex. During the single-well multi-stage and multi-well fracturing processes, strong stress interference (stress shadow effect) occurs due to the interaction of multiple fractures, resulting in a decrease in fracture width, fracture distortion and shortening, making the fracturing effect and area less than expected. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an evaluation method for the stress interference intensity of multiple fractures during the multi-stage fracturing process of horizontal wells and obtain the characteristics of the propagation morphology of multiple fractures to effectively guide on-site construction.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a flowchart of a horizontal well fracturing simulation method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method includes the following steps:

[0031] Step 101, control the true triaxial fracturing equipment to pressurize the fracturing specimen through a hydraulic fracturing pump.

[0032] Among them, at least two fractures are provided in the fracturing specimen.

[0033] For indoor simulation experiments of horizontal well multi-stage fracturing, it is required that the fracturing specimen has multiple fractures to simulate the real fracturing environment. In one possible implementation, the equipment controls the slot cutter to cut slots at preset positions in the specimen, or a technician manually cuts the inside of the specimen in advance.

[0034] The true triaxial fracturing equipment pressurizes the fracturing specimen through a hydraulic fracturing pump to simulate the horizontal well fracturing process.

[0035] Optionally, hydraulic pipelines are correspondingly arranged at each crack in the test piece, and all the hydraulic pipelines are connected to the same hydraulic fracturing pump to realize synchronous fracturing of each crack.

[0036] Step 102: Collect the crack flow values of each crack through a flowmeter. Among them, the hydraulic pipelines at different cracks are connected to different flowmeters and then connected to the same hydraulic fracturing pump.

[0037] In a possible implementation manner, the hydraulic pipelines at each crack are respectively connected to their corresponding flowmeters, and multiple hydraulic pipelines are respectively connected to multiple precision flowmeters and then commonly connected to 1 high-precision sensor and the hydraulic fracturing pump to realize real-time measurement of the non-uniform distribution of the flow rates of multiple cracks in a single fracturing stage.

[0038] Step 103: Calculate the flow distribution coefficient of the fracturing test piece based on the crack flow values. The flow distribution coefficient is used to indicate the stress interference degree between cracks.

[0039] The device evaluates the dynamic stress interference characteristics through the non-uniform distribution coefficient of the real-time flow rates of multiple cracks and calculates the flow distribution coefficient of the fracturing test piece. The value of this coefficient changes in real time as the cracks expand. The flow distribution coefficient can indicate the stress interference degree and the flow distribution uniformity between cracks.

[0040] Step 104: Conduct a crack stress interference assessment on the fracturing test piece based on the flow distribution coefficient, the morphological characteristics of the cracks, the acoustic emission signals, and the pump pressure curve.

[0041] The device reveals the multi-crack stress interference mechanism of the synchronous propagation of multiple cracks in a horizontal well based on the flow distribution coefficient, combined with the post-fracture three-dimensional multi-crack morphological characteristics, acoustic emission signals, and pump pressure curve.

[0042] In summary, the horizontal well fracturing simulation method provided by this application, based on the true triaxial hydraulic fracturing device, provides an indoor simulation method for multi-crack stress interference in horizontal well multi-stage fracturing, can obtain the real-time non-uniform distribution characteristics of the flow rates of each crack during the synchronous propagation of multiple cracks, and further increases the dynamic quantification parameter of the stress interference intensity, that is, the flow distribution coefficient. Analyze the stress interference law based on parameters such as the flow distribution coefficient, the morphological characteristics of the cracks, the acoustic emission signals, and the pump pressure curve, improve the accuracy of stress interference analysis, and lay a foundation for the research on the mechanical mechanism of the interaction between multiple cracks during the horizontal well multi-stage fracturing process.

[0043] Embodiment 2

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 , which shows the flowchart of the horizontal well fracturing simulation method provided by another exemplary embodiment of this application. The method includes the following steps:

[0045] Step 201: Control the true triaxial fracturing equipment to pressurize the fracturing specimen through a hydraulic fracturing pump.

[0046] Step 202: Collect the fracture flow values of each fracture through a flowmeter. Among them, the hydraulic pipelines at different fractures are connected to different flowmeters and then connected to the same hydraulic fracturing pump.

[0047] For the specific implementation manners of Step 201 to Step 202, reference can be made to the above-mentioned Step 101 to Step 102, and the embodiments of the present application will not be elaborated herein.

[0048] Step 203: Obtain the fracture flow values corresponding to adjacent odd-numbered fractures.

[0049] Step 204: Determine the total fracture flow value and the middle fracture flow value of the odd-numbered fractures. The middle fracture flow value is the fracture flow value corresponding to the fracture in the middle among the odd-numbered fractures.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present application, the equipment collects the flow values of adjacent odd-numbered fractures to calculate the flow distribution coefficient. The total fracture flow value is the sum of the fracture flow values of each fracture collected at the same moment.

[0051] Schematically, there are three fractures a, b, and c distributed in the specimen in descending order of depth. The equipment collects the fracture flow value Qa of fracture a, the fracture flow value Qb of fracture b, and the fracture flow value Qc of fracture c through a precision flowmeter, and calculates the total fracture flow value Q total = Qa + Qb + Qc. Then, the flow distribution coefficient is calculated based on Qb and Q total.

[0052] Step 205: Calculate the flow distribution coefficient based on the total fracture flow value and the middle fracture flow value.

[0053] In a possible implementation manner, the calculation formula of the flow distribution coefficient is defined as follows:

[0054] Q middle / Q total - 1 / n

[0055] Wherein, Q middle is the middle fracture flow value, Q total is the total fracture flow value, n is the number of the odd-numbered fractures, and n is a positive odd number.

[0056] Schematically, the flow non-uniform distribution coefficient corresponding to the three fractures a, b, and c in the specimen is Q2 / (Q1 + Q2 + Q3) - 1 / 3, where Q1, Q2, and Q3 are the flow values of the three fractures respectively. The closer the flow non-uniform distribution coefficient is to 0, the more uniform the flow distribution of each fracture is, and the smaller the stress interference between them is.

[0057] Step 206: Evaluate the fracture stress interference of the fracturing specimen based on the flow distribution coefficient, the morphological characteristics of the fractures, the acoustic emission signal, and the pump pressure curve.

[0058] For the specific implementation of step 206, reference may be made to the above step 104, and details are not repeated herein in the embodiments of the present application.

[0059] Embodiment III

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 , which shows a flowchart of a horizontal well fracturing simulation method provided by another exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method includes the following steps:

[0061] Step 301: Control the true triaxial fracturing equipment to pressurize the fracturing specimen in a preset order through a hydraulic fracturing pump to form hydraulic fractures.

[0062] Among them, different fractures are respectively connected to different hydraulic fracturing pumps through corresponding hydraulic pipelines.

[0063] In the method of the embodiment of the present application, a multi-fracture sequential propagation simulation test can also be carried out using the fracturing specimen. Different from the above synchronous propagation simulation test, in the fracturing specimen of the multi-fracture sequential propagation simulation test, different fractures are respectively connected to different hydraulic fracturing pumps through corresponding hydraulic pipelines, and multiple hydraulic pipelines are respectively connected to multiple high-precision pressure sensors and hydraulic fracturing pumps to realize independent fracture initiation and propagation and fluid pressure loading of each fracture, so as to realize fracture sequential propagation.

[0064] By adjusting the injection displacement of the pump connected to the already fractured section, the equipment can collect different pressure values and fluid pressure in the fracture.

[0065] Step 302: Collect the pump pressure curve and acoustic emission signal of each fracture.

[0066] It is worth noting that step 301 and step 302 are not strictly executed in sequence. For each stage of fracture fracturing in step 301, the equipment immediately executes step 302 to collect the pump pressure curve and acoustic emission signal corresponding to the fracture, and then pressurizes the next stage of fracture.

[0067] In a possible implementation manner, the equipment controls different hydraulic fracturing pumps to pressurize for sequential propagation. Specifically, step 301 includes the following steps:

[0068] Step 301a: Control the true triaxial fracturing equipment to pressurize the i-th fracture channel through the i-th hydraulic fracturing pump to form the i-th hydraulic fracture, where i is a positive integer.

[0069] Step 301b: Set the displacement of the fracturing fluid pumped by the i-th hydraulic fracturing pump and measure the injection pressure of the i-th hydraulic fracturing pump.

[0070] Step 301c: Control the true triaxial fracturing equipment to pressurize the (i + 1)-th fracture channel through the (i + 1)-th hydraulic fracturing pump to form the (i + 1)-th hydraulic fracture.

[0071] In a possible implementation, the equipment sets the displacement of the i-th hydraulic fracturing pump, constantly injects a high-viscosity fracturing fluid with a preset displacement, and measures its injection pressure pi. The average fluid pressure in the fracture can be approximately confirmed as half of the injection pressure, that is, pi / 2.

[0072] Schematically, the hydraulic fracturing pump A fractures the specimen at a given displacement through the hydraulic pipeline a. A hydraulic fracture 1 is formed by fracture propagation at the corresponding position of the fracture channel, and the corresponding pump pressure curve and acoustic emission signal are recorded. The equipment sets the injection displacement of the hydraulic fracturing pump A connecting the hydraulic pipeline a and the already fractured fracture 1, and then the hydraulic fracturing pump B connected to the corresponding position of the fracture channel through the hydraulic pipeline b pumps the fracturing fluid to form a non-planar fracture 2, and its pump pressure curve and acoustic emission signal are recorded. Similarly, after setting the injection displacements of the two corresponding hydraulic fracturing pumps A and B connecting the hydraulic pipelines a and b, the hydraulic fracturing pump C pumps the fracturing fluid through the hydraulic pipeline c to form a non-planar fracture 3, and the corresponding pump pressure curve and acoustic emission signal are recorded.

[0073] Step 303: Determine the law of sequential fracture propagation based on the pump pressure curve, acoustic emission signal, and morphological characteristics of the fractures.

[0074] Based on the above fracturing method, the pressurization of a single hydraulic fracturing pump is used to achieve the propagation of the corresponding first-level fracture. When the next-level fracture propagates, the corresponding fluid pressure in the fracture is obtained by controlling the displacement of the hydraulic fracturing pump corresponding to the already fractured fracture, and the influence law of the already fractured fracture with fluid pressure on the propagation of the next-level fracture can be analyzed. Specifically, a fluid pressure is first applied to the already fractured fracture, and when the next-level fracture propagates, the change in the injection pressure in the already fractured fracture is measured by a high-precision pressure sensor to analyze the law of fracture interaction during sequential fracturing.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, based on the true triaxial hydraulic fracturing equipment, a laboratory simulation method for multi-stage fracturing and multi-fracture stress interference in horizontal wells is provided, which can obtain the real-time non-uniform distribution characteristics of the flow rates of each fracture during the synchronous propagation process of multi-fractures, and can simulate the influence law of the upper-level fracture with fluid pressure on the propagation of the next-level fracture during the sequential propagation process of multi-fractures, laying a foundation for the research on the mechanical mechanism of multi-fracture interaction during the multi-stage fracturing process in horizontal wells.

[0076] Optionally, the equipment can also control and change the displacement and viscosity of the fluid pumped by the hydraulic fracturing pump connecting the hydraulic pipelines in the above embodiment, and compare the influence law of the pressure value in the already fractured fracture on the sequential propagation of multi-fractures to more realistically simulate the on-site staged fracturing process. After the above step 303, the following steps can also be included:

[0077] Step 1: Adjust the displacement and viscosity of the fracturing fluid injected by each hydraulic fracturing pump, and record the injection pressure of the hydraulic fracturing pump.

[0078] The equipment adjusts the displacement and viscosity of the fracturing fluid injected by the hydraulic fracturing pump to obtain different injection pressure values. Furthermore, the average fluid pressure of the already opened fracture can be approximately obtained as half of the injection pressure.

[0079] Step 2: Based on the pump pressure curve, acoustic emission signal, and morphological characteristics collected under different in-fracture fluid pressure values of the already opened fractures, determine the influence law of fractures with different fluid pressures on the sequential fracture propagation.

[0080] Example 4

[0081] Optionally, before conducting the fracturing test, it is also necessary to complete the preparation of the fracturing specimen and the connection of the device. The method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps before step 101:

[0082] Step 3: Inject a sealing reagent into the pipeline embedded in the fracturing specimen to a preset depth.

[0083] Optionally, a high-strength epoxy resin adhesive can be used as the sealing reagent.

[0084] Before setting the hydraulic pipeline for each fracture, inject the sealing reagent into the pipeline to a preset depth. Among them, the pipeline is a PVC pipeline embedded in the specimen.

[0085] The specimen preparation process includes: collecting underground coal rock or outcrops of the target reservoir to prepare rock specimens, and their sizes can be prepared according to the maximum accommodation size of the true triaxial hydraulic fracturing equipment; using a drill bit to drill a hole with a predetermined depth and diameter, then putting a PVC pipe with an outer diameter smaller than the hole diameter, and slowly injecting high-strength epoxy resin adhesive into the annulus between the hole and the PVC pipe. After placing it for two days to solidify, the hole is fixed; using a slitting cutter to slit through the PVC pipe and the annular epoxy resin adhesive at the predetermined fracture position in the PVC pipe to form n fracture channels connecting the wellbore and the rock, and removing the impurities cut in the PVC pipe.

[0086] Step 4: Control the injection of a preset dose of soluble solid particles into the pipeline so that one fracture is wrapped by the soluble solid particles.

[0087] Optionally, small particle soluble salt can be used as the soluble solid particles.

[0088] Step 5: Control the insertion of a hydraulic pipeline into the soluble solid particles.

[0089] Step 6: Continue to inject the sealing reagent and soluble solid particles until the next crack is wrapped by the soluble solid particles, and control the hydraulic pipeline corresponding to the next crack until the hydraulic pipelines corresponding to all cracks are set up.

[0090] Specifically, control to put small particle soluble salt to wrap the first crack channel, and put the hydraulic pipeline. Slowly inject high-strength epoxy resin glue into the PVC pipe to a height before the position of the predetermined second crack channel to seal the hydraulic pipeline and the PVC pipe. Put salt, bury the hydraulic pipeline and inject resin glue in sequence according to the above steps until the implantation of all the predetermined n cracks and the corresponding n hydraulic pipelines is completed. After completion, inject warm water into the pipeline and invert the specimen to discharge the soluble salt, thus realizing the preparation of the multi-crack channel rock specimen.

[0091] Schematically, Figure 4 Fig. shows a schematic diagram of a simulation device for multi-stage fracturing in a horizontal well. The preparation of the fracturing specimen and the connection process of the device are as follows:

[0092] (1) Use a ring sand wire cutting machine to cut coal rock to prepare a specimen 1 with dimensions of 300mm×300mm×300mm;

[0093] (2) Use a drill bit to drill a hole with a depth of 23.5 cm and a diameter of 2.8 cm in the center. Then, place a PVC pipe 3 with an outer diameter of 2.5 cm, an inner diameter of 2.2 cm, and a length of 23.5 cm in the center (the end is sealed with 2 cm of high-strength resin glue 2), and slowly inject high-strength epoxy resin glue 2 into the annulus between the hole and the PVC pipe and let it solidify for two days to achieve hole sealing;

[0094] (3) Use a slitting device to slit the PVC pipe 3 at 21 cm, 15 cm, and 9 cm (with the wellhead as the origin) to penetrate the PVC pipe and the annulus resin glue 8, 6, 8, and put small particle soluble salt to wrap the crack 4 position (1 cm), and put a hydraulic pipeline 5 with an outer diameter of 8 mm and an inner diameter of 6 mm;

[0095] (4) Slowly inject high-strength epoxy resin glue 2 into the PVC pipe 3 to a length of 15.5 cm to seal the hydraulic pipeline 5 and the PVC pipe 3. After solidification, put 1 cm thick small particle salt and bury a hydraulic pipeline 7 with an outer diameter of 8 mm and an inner diameter of 6 mm;

[0096] (5) Inject high-strength resin glue 2 into the PVC pipe 3 to a length of 9.5 cm, put 1 cm thick salt to wrap 8 and put a hydraulic pipeline 9 with an outer diameter of 8 mm and an inner diameter of 6 mm, and inject epoxy resin 2 into the PVC pipe 3 to the wellhead to seal the hydraulic pipelines 5, 7, and 9. After solidification, inject warm water into the three hydraulic pipelines and invert the specimen to discharge the soluble salt, complete the preparation of the segmented fracturing specimen, and obtain 3 crack channels 4, 6, 8 with a crack spacing of 6 cm.

[0097] use Figure 4 When the specimen shown in the figure is subjected to an indoor simulation experiment, the three hydraulic pipelines 5, 7, and 9 are respectively connected to three independent precision flow meters 10, 11, and 12 and then connected together to a high-precision pressure sensor 13 and a hydraulic fracturing pump 14, which can realize the real-time measurement of the uneven distribution of multi-fracture flow in a single fracturing section and simulate the synchronous expansion process of multiple clusters of fractures in a single section of a horizontal well.

[0098] When multiple fractures are sequentially expanded, the specimen preparation process is the same as that of synchronous expansion. The difference is that in the sequential expansion test, different fractures are connected to different hydraulic fracturing pumps through corresponding hydraulic pipelines. Figure 5 As shown, three hydraulic pipelines 5, 7, and 9 are independently connected to three fracturing sensors 13 and a hydraulic fracturing pump 14 respectively.

[0099] After loading the true triaxial stress, the hydraulic fracturing pump 14 is used to fractur e the specimen at a given displacement through the hydraulic pipeline 5, and the crack expands at the crack channel 4 to form a hydraulic crack 15a, and the corresponding pump pressure curve and acoustic emission signal are recorded; after setting the hydraulic fracturing pump 14 connecting the hydraulic pipeline 5 and the crack a that has been opened to a constant pressure value, the hydraulic fracturing pump 14 connecting the hydraulic pipeline 7 and the crack channel 6 pumps fracturing fluid to form a non-planar crack 15b, and its pump pressure curve and acoustic emission signal are recorded; similarly, two hydraulic fracturing pumps connecting the hydraulic pipelines 5 and 7 are set to After the corresponding hydraulic fracturing pump 14 reaches a constant pressure value, the hydraulic fracturing pump pumps fracturing fluid through the hydraulic pipeline 9 to form a non-planar crack 15c, and records the corresponding pump pressure curve and acoustic emission signal; after the test is completed, the three-dimensional morphology of multiple cracks is scanned, and the sequential expansion law of multiple cracks is obtained by combining the pump pressure curve and the acoustic emission signal; the injection displacement of the hydraulic fracturing pump connecting the hydraulic pipelines 5 and 7 is changed, and after the test is completed, the influence of different injection pressure values ​​of the cracks that have been opened on the sequential expansion of multiple cracks is compared to more realistically simulate the on-site staged fracturing process.

[0100] Optionally, the above-mentioned drilling hole size, PVC pipe size, crack position and number can be adjusted according to test requirements and equipment conditions.

[0101] Optionally, cement casting specimens can be used to carry out horizontal well multi-stage fracturing simulation. First, a PVC pipe for horizontal well multi-stage fracturing is made according to the above steps, eliminating the drilling and annulus resin injection steps, and a 5 mm diameter hole is drilled at a phase angle of 90° at the predetermined position of the fracture and soluble salt is poured out, and the drilled hole is sealed with an A4 paper roll, and the PVC pipe is buried when the artificial cement specimen is cast to prepare the test specimen.

[0102] Optionally, the rock specimens can be composed of different rocks (sandstone, shale, coal rock, etc.) to study the multi-fracture penetration and propagation law of multi-cluster fracturing in multi-layered horizontal wells.

[0103] Optionally, a phosphor is added to the water-based fracturing fluid to mark the multi-fracture morphology after fracturing.

[0104] Optionally, liquid CO2, supercritical CO2, liquid nitrogen, air, etc. can be used for horizontal well multi-stage fracturing simulation. After fracturing is completed, an aqueous solution containing phosphor can be injected at a low pressure (far less than the rock fracture pressure) to mark the multi-fracture morphology after fracturing.

[0105] Optionally, based on the above structure and method, the embodiments of the present application can also conduct horizontal well segmented multi-cluster fracturing simulation tests. Corresponding flow meters, pressure sensors and hydraulic fracturing pumps can be connected to achieve flow distribution measurement of synchronous propagation of multi-fractures in the same segment and simulation of sequential propagation of multi-fractures in different segments. Figure 6 Fig. shows a schematic diagram of single-well segmented multi-cluster fracturing in a horizontal well. 1 is a fracturing specimen. Fractures a, b, c, d, e, f are respectively connected to a hydraulic pressure pump 14 through different flow meters 12 and pressure sensors 13. First, fractures a and b in the first segment are fractured synchronously, then fractures c and d in the next segment are fractured, and finally fractures e and f in the last segment are fractured.

[0106] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, multi-well multi-stage fracturing simulation of at least two horizontal wells can be carried out, including sequential fracturing, zipper fracturing and synchronous fracturing. Among them, sequential fracturing is to fracture the single-well segmented multi-cluster fractures of each well in sequence until all wells are fractured; zipper fracturing is to fracture the first segment fractures of each well in sequence by segment and then fracture the second segment fractures of each well until the end; synchronous fracturing is to fracture the fractures in the same segment of each well simultaneously until all segments of fractures are fractured, that is, fracture the first segment fractures of each well simultaneously and then fracture the second segment fractures until the end. Figure 7 Fig. shows a schematic diagram of multi-stage fracturing of two horizontal wells.
