Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of geothermal reservoir enhancement and modification technology, and in particular to a method for geothermal reservoir modification and heat extraction using coiled tubing. Background Technology
[0002] Geothermal reservoirs, or simply reservoirs, are underground strata, rock masses, or structural zones with effective porosity and permeability, containing geothermal fluids that can be developed and utilized. Geothermal reservoirs store geothermal energy through the convection and enrichment of heat-carrying fluids. Therefore, a crucial characteristic of geothermal reservoirs is that cold water from outside the reservoir seeps into the aquifer, then passes through the heating zone at the bottom of the reservoir, where it is heated by a strong and continuous conductive heat flow. Geothermal reservoirs differ from oil, gas, and groundwater reservoirs in that the existing fluids can be replenished and heated by surrounding cold water. This replenishment process is vital in the movement of geothermal reservoirs.
[0003] Geothermal reservoirs are classified based on the amount of steam they contain. If they do not contain steam, they can be classified based on the location of the boiling zone at the Earth's surface. Within a hydrothermal system, the natural composition of a geothermal reservoir depends on its temperature, depth, gas content, and conductivity; therefore, multiple conductive layers or reservoirs may exist at different depths. In geothermal reservoir research, state parameters are crucial for analyzing reservoir characteristics and understanding dynamic trends. The most critical parameters in reservoir engineering are the rock layer's transmissivity and storage coefficient, which can be obtained through geological and geophysical measurements. Because these parameters are related to the distribution of pores and fractures, they are inherently anisotropic. Theoretical research on reservoir engineering is essential for understanding the distribution of geothermal resources, the migration state of thermal fluids, and the heat transfer processes of geothermal systems. It is also crucial for using physical and mathematical models to predict the changes in reservoir parameters, resource reserves, and maximum exploitation life during production and reinjection periods. Meanwhile, geothermal reservoir theory research can also provide important scientific basis for the amount of energy recovered, the optimal well spacing and pumping volume, the impact of cold peak surface of reinjection fluid, and the impact of land subsidence caused by excessive exploitation of geothermal resources.
[0004] When the rock mass is dense and has low natural porosity and permeability, geothermal energy can be better obtained by modifying the geothermal reservoir.
[0005] Chinese patent document CN115199251A, published on October 18, 2022, discloses a fracturing method for carbonate geothermal reservoirs, comprising: after completion of a radial well in a carbonate geothermal reservoir, running a CO2 fracturing string into the target section of the radial well using coiled tubing; wherein the CO2 fracturing string is equipped with a CO2 fracturing device filled with liquid CO2; inside the radial well, using a heater in the CO2 fracturing device to heat the liquid CO2 inside the CO2 fracturing device, performing CO2 pulse fracturing in the target section. The CO2 fracturing device opens up the reservoir fractures near the wellbore in the radial well. Inside the CO2 fracturing device, the liquid CO2 undergoes a phase transition to a supercritical state upon heating, causing volume expansion and increased pressure. Once the supercritical CO2 pressure reaches the opening pressure of the CO2 fracturing device, the energy release orifice opens. The supercritical CO2 inside the fracturing device immediately passes through the energy release orifice and impacts and enters the target layer. A pulsed stress wave instantaneously impacts the target layer, forming a crack. The supercritical CO2 then drives the crack to continuously propagate and fracture the target layer.
[0006] The fracturing method for carbonate geothermal reservoirs disclosed in this patent document combines the advantages of supercritical CO2 properties, high-pressure pulse fracturing, and radial well 3D stimulation. The highly fluid supercritical CO2 high-pressure pulse fracturing in radial wells helps to connect natural fractures in the reservoir. However, the fracturing process is complex and costly, making it unsuitable for large-scale stimulation. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides a method for formation thermal reservoir stimulation and heat extraction using coiled tubing. This invention can achieve both directional perforation and continuous operation, as well as segmented fracturing and fine fracturing, enabling large-scale stimulation, improving heat extraction efficiency, and achieving good heat extraction results.
[0008] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A method for formation thermal reservoir stimulation and heat extraction using coiled tubing, characterized by comprising the following steps: a. Install a tool string on the coiled tubing, insert it into the casing and lower it into the formation to perform sandblasting and fracturing operations, and inject heat-conducting material; b. After running the coiled tubing, remove the coiled tubing from the ground and remove the perforation and fracturing components at the front end of the coiled tubing. Install a sealing device to seal the front end of the coiled tubing. c. Measure the well depth, and inject the working fluid and evacuate the tubing at the rear end of the coiled tubing equipped with injection valve and venting valve according to the measured well depth. d. Next, run the coiled tubing down to the designated formation location to extract heat from the formation.
[0009] In step a, installing the tool string on the coiled tubing means connecting the fracturing valve tool to the coiled tubing, and then connecting the fracturing valve tool, hydraulic jet tool, packer, and guide stabilizer in sequence.
