Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas development, and in particular to a method, device and equipment for controlling fracturing pumping parameters. Background Art

[0002] Hydraulic fracturing is an effective means of extracting crude oil. However, due to various factors, such as formation complexity and fluid properties, downhole conditions such as sand plugging often occur during fracturing operations. The current solution is for field operators to independently adjust parameters such as emulsion concentration, displacement, and sand concentration based on their experience. Limited by the experience of field personnel, two issues arise: first, the sand concentration during sand addition can sometimes be too high, causing sand plugging; second, the sand concentration can be too low, resulting in waste of fracturing fluid. The occurrence of downhole conditions and increased fracturing fluid usage significantly increase fracturing costs. Therefore, precise control of operation parameters such as sand and emulsion concentrations is of great practical significance for reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

[0003] Currently, some technical solutions use artificial intelligence models to learn from historical construction data to predict pressure fluctuations, providing early warning of fracturing anomalies or automatically adjusting injection rates based on field data and preset parameters.

[0049] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] As mentioned above, when controlling pressure parameters at the construction site, manual judgment of construction parameters such as viscosity and sand concentration is still required. When human judgment is wrong, the dry powder dosage is incorrectly adjusted, resulting in unreasonable viscosity settings, which can cause sand blockage or excess fluid, and cannot achieve real-time, intelligent, and precise regulation and optimization of fracturing site pumping parameters.

[0051] The embodiments of this specification provide a method for controlling fracturing pumping parameters, which can determine the target fracturing pumping parameters and pumping program of the target reservoir based on indoor experiments and machine learning, combined with the geological parameters of the target reservoir. When pressure pumping is performed based on the pumping program, real-time fracturing fluid parameters can be collected, and the bottom hole sand bank morphology information of the target well can be determined based on the real-time fracturing fluid parameters. The bottom hole working conditions can be determined based on the bottom hole sand bank morphology information and the target fracturing pumping parameters can be adjusted to achieve real-time control and optimization of the fracturing pumping parameters, thereby improving the real-time, intelligence and accuracy of the fracturing field pumping parameter control.

[0053] The following first introduces the method for controlling the parameters of the fracturing pumping provided in the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As Figure 1 As shown, the method may include:

[0055] S101: Obtain geological parameters of the target reservoir.

[0056] It can be understood that geological parameters are used to characterize the geological characteristics of the target reservoir. When reservoirs with different geological characteristics are subjected to fracturing and pumping, the applicable fracturing and pumping parameters are different. Based on the geological parameters of the target reservoir, a reservoir with similar geological characteristics to the target reservoir can be selected from historical reservoirs, and the target fracturing and pumping parameters of the target reservoir can be determined based on the historical fracturing data of the corresponding reservoir. Exemplarily, geological parameters may include reservoir depth, thickness, permeability, porosity, natural fracture density, rock mechanics parameters, and geostress field distribution. Furthermore, geological parameters can be obtained by logging the target reservoir, performing core experiments, seismic inversion, etc., or the geological parameters used in the fracturing process of adjacent oil and gas wells can be used as the geological parameters obtained in the above steps.

[0057] S102: Determine target fracturing pumping parameters of the target reservoir based on the geological parameters.

[0058] It can be understood that the target fracturing pumping parameters may include sand ratio, number of clusters, sand addition amount per cluster, liquid addition amount per cluster, etc.

[0059] It is understood that when determining target fracturing and pumping parameters for a target reservoir based on geological parameters, historical reservoirs similar to the target reservoir can be identified in conjunction with the geological parameters, and the target fracturing and pumping parameters can be determined based on historical fracturing data of the historical reservoirs. Specifically, the target fracturing and pumping parameters can be determined based on the determined historical fracturing data using data matching or machine learning methods.

[0060] In some embodiments of this specification, the target fracturing pumping parameters can be determined by data matching. Specifically, based on the geological parameters, determining the target fracturing pumping parameters of the target reservoir can include: calculating the similarity between the geological parameters and the historical geological parameters of the historical reservoirs in the database, and screening out the historical reservoirs corresponding to the historical geological parameters whose similarity meets a preset threshold (e.g., 90%, 95%, etc.), then obtaining the historical pumping data corresponding to the historical reservoirs from the database, and processing the historical pumping data to obtain the target fracturing pumping parameters. The processing of the historical pumping data can be, for example, taking an average value, a weighted average, etc., which is not limited by this specification.

[0061] In some embodiments of this specification, target fracturing and pumping parameters can be determined using machine learning methods. Specifically, determining the target fracturing and pumping parameters for the target reservoir based on the geological parameters may include: determining, based on the geological parameters, a historical reservoir whose similarity to the target reservoir meets a preset threshold, and obtaining historical geological data and historical fracturing data for the historical reservoir; inputting the historical geological data and historical fracturing data into a machine learning model for training, and inputting the geological parameters into the trained machine learning model to obtain the target fracturing and pumping parameters. Exemplary machine learning models may include, for example, random forest models, regression models, and the like.

[0062] In the embodiments of this specification, a machine learning model that matches the data features of historical fracturing data can be constructed based on the prediction scenario of the current fracturing pumping parameters, and the parameters corresponding to the acquired historical geological data can be used as input features, and the parameters corresponding to the historical fracturing data can be used as output features. The historical geological data corresponding to the input features can be used as training input, and the historical fracturing data corresponding to the output features can be used as the expected output of the training. Machine learning can then be performed based on the training input and the expected output, and the geological parameters of the target reservoir can be input into the trained machine learning model to obtain target fracturing pumping parameters suitable for the target reservoir.

[0063] In some embodiments of this specification, target pumping parameters may be determined not only in conjunction with geological parameters but also based on the geological parameters and the target fracture height and width of the target well to be obtained by the current fracturing of the target reservoir. Specifically, historical reservoir data may be obtained by matching the fracture height, fracture width, and geological parameters, and the target fracturing pumping parameters may be determined based on the historical pumping data of the target reservoir. The process for determining target fracturing pumping parameters based on historical pumping data can be described in the previous embodiments and will not be further elaborated here.

[0064] S103: Determine a pumping program corresponding to the oil and gas well of the target reservoir based on the target fracturing pumping parameters, and perform fracturing pumping based on the pumping program.

[0065] It can be understood that a pumping program is a set of detailed operating instructions and parameter settings used to guide the injection of fracturing fluid and proppant during hydraulic fracturing, in order to safely and efficiently form and maintain formation fractures and avoid abnormal operating conditions such as sand plugging. Specifically, parameters such as displacement, sand ratio, and viscosity during the fracturing pumping process can be specified based on the target fracturing pumping parameters. The fracturing pumping process can also be divided into stages, including the injection sequence of the pre-fluid, sand-carrying fluid, and displacement fluid. At the same time, the pressure during the fracturing pumping process can be controlled to determine the upper limit of the wellhead pressure to prevent overpressure of the equipment or formation.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present specification, determining the pumping program corresponding to the oil and gas wells in the target reservoir based on the target fracturing pumping parameters may include: obtaining sand-carrying experimental data, the sand-carrying experimental data being data obtained by simulating the sedimentation of fracturing fluid in the fracture under different fracturing pumping parameters; determining the mapping relationship between the sedimentation threshold under critical sand-carrying conditions and the fracturing pumping parameters based on the sand-carrying experimental data; and determining the pumping program based on the mapping relationship and the target fracturing pumping parameters, the pumping program including the relationship between the target fracturing pumping parameters and the sedimentation threshold under critical sand-carrying conditions.

[0067] Specifically, the sand-carrying experimental data may include proppant settlement under different displacements and sand ratios under set experimental fracture width, fracture height, number of clusters, viscosity, etc., and a mapping relationship can be determined based on the data to automatically generate a pumping program based on the mapping relationship and the target fracturing pumping parameters.

[0068] In the embodiments of this description, by combining experimental data with machine learning, the automatic generation of pumping programs can be achieved, the accuracy of fracturing pumping can be improved, the fracture morphology can be optimized, the proppant placement efficiency can be improved, and the risk of sand plugging can be reduced.

[0069] S104: collecting real-time fracturing fluid parameters during the fracturing pumping process, and determining bottomhole sand bank morphology information of the target well based on the real-time fracturing fluid parameters.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present specification, the real-time fracturing fluid parameters may include at least the viscosity and sand ratio of the fracturing fluid.

[0071] Specifically, viscosity can be measured in real time at the fracturing fluid outlet using a viscometer. This data can then be uploaded and used to predict the bottomhole sand bank morphology. Furthermore, the viscometer's real-time viscosity can include both kinematic and dynamic viscosities. Dynamic viscosity characterizes the fracturing fluid's ability to resist deformation, while kinematic viscosity characterizes its flow characteristics under gravity or inertia. By monitoring both dynamic and kinematic viscosities, more accurate information on the bottomhole sand bank morphology can be obtained.

[0072] Specifically, the sand ratio can be determined by real-time monitoring of the fracturing fluid at the fracturing fluid outlet using a densitometer. This data can then be uploaded for use in predicting the bottomhole sand bank morphology. Furthermore, the densitometer can measure the fracturing fluid density in real time, and the proppant mass in the fracturing fluid can be calculated based on the density, which can then be uploaded.

[0073] It can be understood that the above-mentioned real-time fracturing fluid parameters are an example in the embodiments of this specification. In other embodiments, the real-time fracturing fluid parameters may also include more or fewer parameters. For example, in addition to the above-mentioned viscosity and sand ratio, they may also include pressure, displacement, etc. The specific settings can be made in combination with the application scenario and application requirements, and corresponding sensors can be set at the outlet end for real-time collection of corresponding parameters.

[0074] In some embodiments of this specification, after real-time fracturing fluid parameters are collected, fracturing equipment can be controlled and adjusted based on the real-time fracturing fluid parameters. For example, when the viscosity is lower than or higher than a set viscosity, the metering pump of the distributor can be controlled to adjust the amount of dry powder added in real time; when the sand ratio is lower than or higher than a set sand ratio, the mass of sand entering the mixing tank can be controlled in real time.

[0075] In some embodiments of this specification, bottomhole sand bank morphology information can be represented by a bottomhole sand bank morphology image. The bottomhole sand bank morphology image can be predicted based on real-time fracturing fluid parameters. The image can then be analyzed to determine the current bottomhole operating conditions, allowing subsequent target fracturing and pumping parameters to be adjusted and optimized based on the current bottomhole operating conditions. It is understood that in other embodiments, bottomhole sand bank morphology information can be represented in other forms besides images, and this specification does not limit this.

[0076] In some embodiments of this specification, determining the bottomhole sand bank morphology information of a target well based on the real-time fracturing fluid parameters may include: obtaining wellbore parameters and fracture parameters of the target well; inputting the wellbore parameters, the fracture parameters, the target fracturing pumping parameters, and the real-time fracturing fluid parameters into a pre-trained neural network model, and outputting the bottomhole sand bank morphology information. Specifically, the wellbore parameters may include well depth and well diameter, and the fracture parameters may include fracture width and fracture height.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present specification, the neural network model is a physical information neural network model, which can be trained in the following manner: obtaining historical oil and gas well data, historical crack data, historical fracturing data, historical fracturing fluid data and historical sand bank morphology data of historical reservoirs; constructing an initial neural network model with the wellbore parameters, crack parameters, fracturing pumping parameters and fracturing fluid parameters of the oil and gas wells as model inputs, and the predicted bottom hole sand bank morphology information as output, as well as a loss function of the initial neural network model; constructing physical constraint equations in the fracturing pumping process, the physical constraint equations at least including the fluid mass conservation equation, the particle sedimentation kinetics equation, and the crack extension model; using the physical constraint equations as the conditions of the loss function, and training the initial neural network model with the historical oil and gas well data, the historical crack data, the historical fracturing data, and the historical fracturing fluid data as training input data, and the historical sand bank morphology data as training output to obtain the physical information neural network model.

[0078] In the embodiments of this specification, based on the physical information neural network model, by introducing physical constraint equation constraints into the neural network model, the model can not only fit experimental or field data, but also make the prediction results follow known physical laws. In addition, through the physical constraint equation constraints, in scenarios where data is scarce, the physical constraint equations can provide additional regularization for model predictions, reducing dependence on a large amount of labeled data. In addition, multi-physical field coupling can be achieved by simultaneously processing multiple interacting physical processes, including fluid flow, particle sedimentation, etc., thereby achieving rapid, accurate and reliable prediction of the sand bank morphology at the bottom of the well, reducing the risk of sand plugging, and saving fracturing fluid usage.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present specification, the physical information neural network model may include an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The input layer is used to receive physical parameters such as displacement, sand ratio, fracturing fluid viscosity, fracture height, fracture width, number of clusters, etc. The hidden layer can perform multi-layer nonlinear changes on the parameters received by the input layer, learn the complex mapping relationship between input and output, and the output layer can be used to predict the target variable. The output features of the output layer may include sand bank height distribution, proppant concentration profile, etc. The loss function constructed during the training process may include data-driven loss, such as the loss that measures the difference between the predicted value and the actual observed value, and may also include physical-driven loss, such as the residual of the physical constraint equation, and corresponding weight coefficients may be set for the data-driven loss and the physical-driven loss to balance data fitting and physical consistency.

[0080] S105: adjusting the target fracturing pumping parameters based on the bottom hole sand bank morphology information, and performing fracturing pumping based on the adjusted target fracturing pumping parameters.

[0081] It can be understood that the real-time operating conditions of the target well's bottom-hole fracturing pumping can be analyzed based on the bottom-hole sand bank morphology information. This information can then be used to adjust the target fracturing pumping parameters and conduct subsequent fracturing pumping based on the adjustment results. The real-time operating conditions analyzed can include, for example, whether the current bottom-hole sand bank morphology meets the expected sand filling requirements, whether the current displacement and sand ratio pose a risk of sand plugging, and the expected sand bank height and time when sand plugging occurs.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present specification, adjusting the target fracturing pumping parameters based on the bottom hole sand bank morphology information, and performing fracturing pumping based on the adjusted target fracturing pumping parameters, may include: analyzing the bottom hole sand bank morphology information to determine the current bottom hole construction conditions; adjusting the target fracturing pumping parameters based on the bottom hole construction conditions; determining the control parameters of each fracturing pumping device based on the adjusted target fracturing pumping parameters, and controlling each fracturing pumping device based on the control parameters. The fracturing pumping equipment may include a sand mixing vehicle, a liquid mixing vehicle, a density meter, a viscometer, an electric pump fracturing skid assembly, a dry powder mixing device, and the like. Furthermore, the control of the density meter and the viscometer may include controlling the frequency of data acquisition and uploading, and the control of the dry powder mixing device may include controlling the amount of dry powder added to the dry powder mixing device.

[0083] The present invention also provides a fracturing pumping control system that uses machine learning to autonomously determine the required fracturing fluid viscosity and sand concentration. Viscometers and densitometers monitor the actual viscosity and sand concentration in real time, issuing instructions and making decisions to adjust the fracturing fluid viscosity and sand concentration in real time. The system can include a central control system, an autonomous learning module, an early warning module, and a data transmission module.

[0084] The autonomous learning module can retrieve fracturing parameters from a database of similar blocks and determine whether the sand-to-liquid ratio and number of stages are reasonable based on the input data. If the autonomous learning module determines that the input data is unreasonable based on historical data, it will provide recommended construction data, including sand-to-liquid ratio, sand addition per cluster, liquid addition per cluster, and number of clusters. Based on the recommended construction data, the central control system can then automatically provide a pumping program.

[0085] Among them, the early warning module can obtain the mapping relationship between the sedimentation threshold and the fracturing pumping parameters under the critical sand-carrying conditions based on the indoor sand-carrying test data as the indoor sand-carrying test law, and then obtain the proppant sedimentation threshold. When the displacement, sand ratio and emulsion concentration are lower than the sand-carrying threshold, the central control system can autonomously give pumping program recommendations based on the sedimentation threshold.

[0086] After manually confirming the pumping program, enter the program and control each system to carry out construction according to the latest pumping program.

[0087] The autonomous learning module can also use PINN (Physics-Informed Neural Networks) for machine learning to predict the state of sand banks at the bottom of the well. PINN adds physical model constraints, which can greatly improve the accuracy of neural network predictions and significantly reduce the time required to obtain sand bank movement.

[0088] Furthermore, the autonomous learning module predicts the sand bank shape at the bottom of the well, and can determine the wellbore construction status. Based on the predictions, parameters such as sand ratio and displacement can be adjusted in real time to ensure that the sand addition strength meets the specified requirements. Furthermore, the early warning module can also issue a sand blockage warning based on the predicted sand bank shape at the bottom of the well, prompting users to reduce the sand ratio or increase the viscosity when the sand bank height rises rapidly.

[0089] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the data transmission module in the embodiment of this specification may include a sand blender, a liquid mixing vehicle, a densitometer, a viscometer, an electric pump fracturing skid group, and a control console.

[0090] Among them, the viscometer can monitor the kinematic viscosity and dynamic viscosity of the outlet end in real time, and input the data into the central control system in real time. When the viscosity is lower or higher than the set viscosity, the metering pump of the distributor is controlled to adjust the amount of dry powder added in real time.

[0091] The densitometer can monitor the sand ratio at the liquid outlet in real time. By measuring the density in real time, the density meter can calculate the mass of the proppant in the liquid and transmit the data to the central control system in real time. When the sand ratio is lower or higher than the set sand ratio, the mass of the sand entering the mixing tank is controlled in real time.

[0092] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the dry powder is more easily dissolved when using dry powder fracturing, the data transmission module can also include a dry powder mixing device. Specifically, the dry powder mixing device can include a distributor, a vibrating screen, a mixing tank, a sand tank and a dry powder tank; the distributor is 2m 3 There is a tank with a metering pump under the tank, which is connected to the control room and controls the amount of dry powder added through the central control system; the dry powder enters the vibrating screen so that it can enter the mixing tank evenly; the mixing tank is used to mix the fracturing fluid and make the proppant evenly distributed in the fracturing fluid; there is a booster pump at the inlet end to allow the dry powder to enter the mixing tank quickly and evenly.

[0093] The specific application process of the fracturing pump injection control system provided in the above embodiment will be further described below with reference to specific examples.

[0094] In the examples of this specification, fracturing fluid A was selected for indoor testing. Assuming the fracture width was 6 mm, the fracture height was 30 m, the number of clusters was 3, and the viscosity was 10 mPa·s, the experimental results can be shown as follows: Figure 3 As shown. Figure 3 It can be seen that under the condition of 10% sand ratio, the displacement is higher than 9m 3 / min, in order to avoid sand blockage; under the condition of 20% sand ratio, the displacement is higher than 13m 3 / min, in order to avoid sand blockage; under the condition of 30% sand ratio, the displacement is higher than 18m 3 / min, can avoid sand blockage.

[0095] Based on the historical data of the historical reservoir close to the target reservoir, the pump master program can be generated and combined with Figure 3 Based on the indoor experimental results, it is determined whether sand blockage occurs and the pumping program is adjusted. The final pumping program can be as follows Figure 4 shown.

[0096] During the pumping process, the viscosity and sand ratio of the fracturing fluid at the outlet can be collected in real time, and the sand bank prediction model obtained by PINN neural network training can be used to predict the shape of the sand bank at the bottom of the well. The predicted sand carrying results can be shown as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the prediction results can indicate that the sand carrying effect is good.
