Specific implementation mode
[0018] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.
[0019] As Figure 1 shown, a method for jointly evaluating the fracturing transformation effect by forward and inverse modeling includes the following steps: Step S1: Based on logging and laboratory test data, and considering the heterogeneity and mechanical differences along the well section, establish a single-well fine fracturing model. Step S2: Simulate the actual fracturing process according to the actual pumping program to obtain the fracture height parameter by forward modeling. Step S3: According to the fracture height parameter, combined with the shut-in pressure drop data, calculate the liquid efficiency and filtration coefficient of the fracturing section through the fracture parameter inversion model. Step S4: Based on the above process, use the boundary element method to simulate the fracturing process, obtain the fracture length and width parameters, and determine the fracturing transformation volume by calculating the stress field distribution around the fracture.
[0020] Embodiment 1 Step S1: Based on logging and laboratory test data, and considering the heterogeneity and mechanical differences along the well section, establish a single-well fine fracturing model.
[0021] Based on data such as logging and laboratory tests, considering the heterogeneity and mechanical differences along the well section, establish a single-well fine fracturing model that couples the rock solid skeleton deformation and fluid flow control equations, as shown below: ; ; ; In the formula, is the rock control volume; is the effective stress matrix, Pa; is the pore pressure, Pa; is the identity matrix; is the virtual strain rate matrix, S -1 ; is the surface area; is the surface force vector, N / m 2 ; is the virtual velocity vector, m / s; is the body force vector, N / m 3 ; is the rock volume change rate, dimensionless; is the fluid velocity, kg / m 3 ; is the porosity, dimensionless; is the outward normal direction vector of surface s, dimensionless; is the fluid flow velocity in the rock, m / s; is the rock matrix permeability tensor, m / s; is the spatial vector, m; is the acceleration due to gravity, m / s 2 ; represents the time partial derivative; represents the volume differential; represents the area differential.
[0022] Among them, in the process of hydraulic fracturing, the coupling of the deformation of the rock solid skeleton and the fluid flow control equation is the core algorithm basis of this model. When the constructed single-well fine fracturing model is simulated by Gohfer, the dynamic interaction between "fracture propagation" and "proppant-carrying fluid flow" can be fully considered.
[0023] When calculating the initiation of a certain grid point according to the stress model, the dynamic influence of the pressure change generated after the proppant-carrying fluid enters the fracture on the dynamic filtration of the fracturing fluid is calculated synchronously. And the dynamic filtration of the fracturing fluid will act on the pressure field in the fracture in the reverse direction, thereby real-time correcting the shape and propagation trajectory of the fracture.
[0024] Step S2, simulate the real fracturing process according to the actual pumping program to obtain the fracture height parameter by forward modeling.
[0025] First, by setting the actual perforation scheme on site, the performance parameters of the fracturing fluid and the proppant, and using the actual pumping program, simulate the real fracturing process to obtain the fracture height parameter by forward modeling. Then, based on the secondary nominal stress criterion, dynamically determine the initiation and propagation relationship between the hydraulic fracture and the interlayer weak interface.
[0026] Adopt the element stiffness degradation criterion to describe the fracture propagation process in real time, and synchronously output the dynamic fracture morphology and fracture height parameters as follows: ; ; ; In the formula, and are the normal and tangential stresses actually borne by the element, in Pa; and are the maximum tensile strength and maximum shear strength that the element can bear, respectively, in Pa; is the damage factor; and are the stresses calculated according to the undamaged linear elastic criterion for the normal and tangential directions of the element under the current strain respectively; and are the displacement at initial damage and the displacement at complete failure of the element, ; is the maximum displacement reached during the loading process, .
[0027] Among them, when the hydraulic fracture intersects with the interlayer weak plane, if the interlayer weak plane fractures first, the hydraulic fracture will be trapped and cannot penetrate the interlayer weak plane; if the rock mass on the other side of the interlayer weak plane fractures first, the hydraulic fracture will penetrate the weak plane and continue to expand.
[0028] Step S3: According to the fracture height parameter, combined with the shut-in pressure drop data, through the fracture parameter inversion model, calculate the liquid efficiency and filtration coefficient of the fracturing stage.
[0029] Based on the fracture height parameter obtained from the simulation of the real fracturing process, combined with the shut-in pressure drop data, through the fracture parameter inversion model based on the analysis of the pressure drop curve, calculate the liquid efficiency and filtration coefficient of the fracturing stage.
[0030] Among them, the fracture parameter inversion model based on the analysis of the pressure drop curve satisfies the following conditions: (1) After the pump is shut off, filtration and elastic closure occur simultaneously for each fracture; (2) The fracture morphology is continuously symmetric; (3) The reservoir is homogeneous and there is no interference from natural fractures; (4) After the pump is shut off, the fracture stops extending and the fracture length is constant.
[0031] This model realizes the simultaneous solution of the fracturing fluid efficiency, filtration coefficient and fracture geometric parameters by inverting the dynamic data of the simultaneous filtration and closure process after the pump is shut off for multiple fractures, as follows: ; ; ; ; In the formula, is the injection displacement, m 3 / s; is the pumping time, s; is the fracture coefficient (for the PKN model, , for the KGD model, ); is the fracture height, m; is the Young's modulus, MPa; δ is the dimensionless time; δ = Δt / t0; Δt is the shut-in time, s; is the bottom-hole pressure corresponding to the dimensionless time δ0, MPa; is the bottom-hole pressure corresponding to the dimensionless time δ, MPa; is the minimum horizontal principal stress, MPa; is the fracture propagation coefficient; is 's gamma function; is the stress interference factor; where, , is the fracture cluster spacing, m; is the th half fracture length, m; is the th filtrate loss coefficient after pump shut-off for the fracture, m / s 0.5 ; is the filtrate loss height, m; is the fracturing fluid efficiency, %; is the th fracture volume after pump shut-off for the fracture, m 3 ; represents the pressure decay function; represents the differential of the pressure decay function.
[0032] Step S4. Based on the above process, use the boundary element method to simulate the fracturing process, obtain the fracture length and width parameters, and determine the fracturing treatment volume by calculating the stress field distribution around the fracture.
[0033] Based on the obtained fracture height parameters, liquid efficiency and filtrate loss coefficient, use the boundary element method to simulate the fracturing process, calculate the fracture length and width parameters; determine the fracturing treatment volume by calculating the stress field distribution around the fracture. The specific process is as follows: ; ; ; In the formula, is the fluid pressure, Pa; is the length of the infinitesimal element of the fracture, m; and are the fluid power-law exponent and consistency exponent; is the fracture height, m; is the fracture width, mm; is the total volume of fracturing fluid, m 3 ; is the normal displacement discontinuity of the th element (the fracture width of the th element), mm; is the length of the th element, m; is the length of the th cluster of fractures at time t, m; is the total number of fractures; is the filtration rate, m 2 / s; , , …, and are the number of fracture elements in the 1st, 2nd, …, Z-1th, and Zth fracturing stages, respectively; is the stress correction factor; , , and are the stress influence coefficient matrices; and are the tangential displacement discontinuity and normal displacement discontinuity of the th element, mm; and are the tangential stress and normal stress on the th element, respectively; represents the time differential; represents the differential of the length of a small fracture element.
[0034] Among them, to reduce the difficulty of solving and improve the simulation efficiency of multi-fracture propagation within a stage, the following conditions are satisfied: ① The rock is an infinite homogeneous elastic body and obeys linear elastic fracture mechanics; ② The fracturing fluid is an incompressible fluid, and the fluid in the fracture conforms to the Poiseuille laminar flow law; ③ The filtration of the fracturing fluid perpendicular to the fracture surface satisfies the Carter model; ④ The wellbore friction is much smaller than the perforation friction and the in-fracture flow friction, so the wellbore flow friction is ignored; ⑤ The proppant transport is not considered, and based on the high stiffness assumption of the proppant, it is assumed that the generation of new fractures will not cause the closure of previous fractures.
[0035] Example 2 This example takes Well BZ21-X2 as an example, and the specific implementation process is as follows: Step S1: Construct a single-well fine fracturing model.
[0036] Based on the reservoir data and logging data of Well Bai Z21-X2, considering the heterogeneity and mechanical differences along the well section, a single-well fine model is constructed.
[0037] Among them, the reservoir data includes burial depth, thickness, porosity, permeability, formation pressure, rock mechanical parameters (Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, compressive strength, etc.); the logging data interprets the in-situ stress data, constructs a three-dimensional grid structure model, and realizes formation division, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 as well as shown in Table 1.

[0039]
[0040] Step S2: Replicate the real fracturing process to obtain the fracture height parameter by forward modeling.
[0041] According to the fracturing design of Well Bai Z21-X2, clarify the target fracturing horizon, fracturing stage clusters, and perforation scheme. Determine the properties and types of fracturing fluid and proppant. According to the required fracturing fluid and proppant in the fracturing design, select the corresponding matching fracturing fluid and proppant from the GOHFER fracturing fluid and proppant database. Use the actual pumping program to simulate the real fracturing process, dynamic fracture propagation simulation, and calculate the fracture height parameter based on the shear-slip elastic mechanics model, as shown in Table 2 and Figure 6 .

[0043]
[0044] Step S3: Invert the liquid efficiency and filtration coefficient based on the shut-in pressure drop data.
[0045] Use the shut-in pressure drop data, based on the fracture height parameter obtained in Step S2, and calculate the liquid efficiency and filtration coefficient of this fracturing stage through the fracture parameter inversion model.
[0046] By establishing the mathematical relationship between the pressure drop curve and the fracture dynamics, the model can simultaneously invert the dynamic data of the multi-fracture synchronous filtration and closure process during the shut-in stage, and realize the coupled solution of the fracturing fluid efficiency, filtration coefficient, and fracture geometric parameters (including the spatial distribution of fracture length and width), such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and shown in Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4.

[0053] This inversion process particularly emphasizes the dynamic simulation of the actual fracturing process, inputs the fracture height parameter as a known boundary condition into the model, and effectively improves the engineering reliability of the calculation results.
[0054] Step S4: Obtain fracture parameters and treatment volume through forward fracturing.
[0055] Based on the obtained fracture height, liquid efficiency, and filtration coefficient, use the boundary element method to simulate the fracturing process, calculate and obtain the fracture length and width parameters; calculate the stress field distribution around the fracture. Among them, it is stipulated that the area where the additional stress rises by 0.5 MPa is the stress-affected area after fracturing; the area where the additional stress rises by 1 MPa is the effective fracturing treatment area. Determine the fracturing treatment volume based on the area of the effective fracturing treatment area and the fracture height data, as shown in Table 6 and Figure 10 as shown.
