Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of shale gas exploitation, in particular to a shale gas reservoir fracturing method based on in-situ methane explosion. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, shale gas as a rich unconventional natural gas resource, its development has become an important direction in the global energy field. In the shale gas exploitation technology, hydraulic fracturing technology is the most widely used mainstream means, which can form a fracture network in shale to release natural gas by injecting high-pressure fluid (including water, chemical additives, etc.) into the reservoir. At the same time, to solve the inherent defects of hydraulic fracturing, in-situ methane explosion fracturing technology gradually emerges, which uses the overpressure shock wave generated by the explosion of methane mixed with oxidizing agent in the reservoir to fracture shale, has potential advantages such as no water consumption, can realize multi-stage pulse blasting, and is environmentally friendly, etc., and becomes a new direction of industry research.
[0003] With the increasing demand for the development of deep, high ground stress and low permeability shale reservoirs, the limitations of traditional hydraulic fracturing technology in water resource consumption, environmental pollution and fracture formation effect are increasingly prominent, which promotes the transformation of the industry to waterless fracturing technology. In-situ methane explosion fracturing technology becomes an important research hotspot to replace hydraulic fracturing due to its characteristics of adapting to deep reservoir characteristics and less environmental impact. The research focuses mainly on improving explosion pressure, optimizing ignition efficiency, and improving the performance of combustion improver, etc. For example, by increasing the ignition energy, adding hydrogen or adding solid fuel (such as aluminum powder, potassium permanganate), etc. to enhance the explosion effect to meet the fracturing needs of deep reservoirs.
[0004] Although the in-situ methane explosion fracturing technology has development potential, it still has significant technical bottlenecks: first, the explosion pressure is insufficient, the existing technology can only increase the methane explosion overpressure to 1.78 bar by increasing the ignition energy (from 1 kJ to 10 kJ), which is far from the high pressure (such as 100 MPa) required by deep reservoirs, and further increasing the ignition energy will reduce the safety of the device; second, the ignition efficiency and energy transfer problem, although hydrogen can improve the ignition efficiency, it cannot solve the problem of directional release and homogeneous transmission of explosion energy, resulting in insufficient energy utilization rate; third, the limitations of the improver, although aluminum powder can improve the overpressure, but the explosion speed is limited and it is easy to cause secondary pollution, and potassium permanganate has problems such as unclear explosion mechanism, heavy metal residue (such as manganese) pollution risk, and unclear initiation speed improvement, etc., which makes it difficult to meet the efficient and clean development needs.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an in-situ methane explosion fracturing method that can synergistically improve the explosion overpressure and explosion speed, optimize the energy utilization efficiency, and consider environmental friendliness and safety, to break through the technical bottlenecks of the existing technology and provide support for the efficient development of deep shale gas reservoirs.
