Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of oil and gas fracturing, and particularly relates to a CO2 pre-positioning fracturing parameter optimization design method, a processor and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] There are three main factors affecting the fracturing effect of the reservoir: geological factors, engineering factors and production systems. Due to the high heterogeneity of shale oil reservoirs, geological factors such as reservoir temperature, stress distribution, permeability and porosity are objective factors affecting the fracturing effect. The injection mode, injection rate and injection volume of the fracturing fluid and other fracturing engineering parameters are subjective factors. Reasonable design of fracturing engineering parameters can increase the stimulated volume of shale oil reservoirs, optimize the flow conditions of the formation fluid, thereby improving the reservoir recovery efficiency and increasing the oil well production. Therefore, for target shale oil reservoir blocks with relatively mature geological conditions, the fracturing engineering parameters are closely related to the recoverable reserves of the reservoir and are an important content of field fracturing research.

[0003] The working principle of the CO2 pre-positioning fracturing technology is to first perform preliminary CO2 fracturing by using the fracture forming performance of CO2. Then, a water-based fracturing fluid is used to inject sand to expand and support the initial fractures. The significant advantage of this technology is that it effectively addresses the technical challenges in CO2 injection fracturing, simplifies the operation process and reduces the production cost of oilfield development. In addition, CO2 pre-positioning fracturing can effectively open microfractures in the reservoir, change the expansion direction of artificial fractures and increase the complexity of the fracture network structure. The water-based sand-carrying fluid can further extend and effectively support the fractures, thereby achieving energy enhancement and large-scale reconstruction of the reservoir. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the embodiments of the application is to provide a CO2 pre-positioning fracturing parameter optimization design method, a processor and a storage medium To achieve the above purpose, the first aspect of the application provides a CO2 pre-positioning fracturing parameter optimization design method, comprising the following steps: Step S1: determining the evaluation index of the fracturing effect; Step S2: selecting the main control fracturing engineering parameter; Step S3: analyzing the single variable of the key parameter; Step S4: orthogonal test design and evaluation; The step S1 comprises: using the three-dimensional seepage area S evaluating the engineering parameters to assess the hydraulic fracturing effect, wherein the engineering parameters include at least one of the fracturing fluid pumping sequence, the CO2 pre-positioning injection mode, the CO2 injection volume and the CO2 injection rate; The step S2 comprises: selecting the main control fracturing engineering parameter by using the Pearson correlation coefficient; Step S3 includes: Arrange the Pearson correlation coefficients of the main control fracturing engineering parameters from high to low to determine the importance ranking of the parameters affecting the fracturing effect; According to the determined ranking, use the fracture fractal dimension D , seepage area S and the proportion of the main fracture to conduct single-factor analysis for each key main control fracturing engineering parameter in sequence to study the influence of different parameters on the hydraulic fracturing effect, and thus determine the optimal value range of each main control fracturing engineering parameter.

This effectively solves the problem of insufficient maturity in the design of on-site CO2 pre-fracturing technology construction schemes caused by the lack of analysis of the field application effect of CO2 pre-fracturing and the optimization of fracturing construction parameters.

They are used together with the following detailed description to explain the embodiments of the present invention, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. In the drawings: Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the steps of the CO2 pre-fracturing parameter optimization design method according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the CO2 pre-fracturing parameter optimization design method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0016] The purpose of this invention is to achieve three-dimensional percolation area based on target parameters. SBy using Pearson correlation coefficient to conduct correlation analysis on the fracturing effect of different engineering parameters, the priority research order of each parameter is clarified, and univariate analysis is carried out on each parameter to determine its reasonable range. Then, the fracturing parameters are comprehensively evaluated and optimized through orthogonal experimental principle, and finally the best CO2 pre-fracturing engineering parameter design scheme is selected.

[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the steps of the CO2 pre-fracturing parameter optimization design method according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the CO2 pre-fracturing parameter optimization design method according to an embodiment of the present invention. (Reference) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The CO2 pre-fracturing parameter optimization design method provided in this embodiment of the invention may include the following steps.

[0018] Step S1: Determine the evaluation indicators for fracturing effect.

[0019] Specifically, step S1 may include: Utilizing three-dimensional permeation area S The engineering parameters are evaluated to assess the hydraulic fracturing effect, wherein the engineering parameters include at least one of the following: fracturing fluid injection sequence, CO2 pre-injection method, CO2 injection volume, and CO2 injection discharge volume.

[0020] In step S1, when determining the evaluation index for fracturing effect, the three-dimensional percolation area can be used. S To evaluate the hydraulic fracturing effect, four key parameters were assessed: fracturing fluid injection sequence, CO2 pre-injection method, CO2 injection rate, and CO2 injection displacement. Among these, the three-dimensional permeation area was also evaluated. S It can be described as: (1) In the formula, The seepage area of ​​the three-dimensional crack (e.g., in meters). 2 ); n represents dividing the crack end face into n independent small regions, and Λ represents the omitted terms.

[0021] Step S2: Select the main control fracturing engineering parameters.

[0022] Step 2 uses the Pearson correlation coefficient to select the main fracturing engineering parameters. Specifically, when selecting the main fracturing engineering parameters in step S2, the Pearson correlation coefficient can be used as the main control engineering parameter to provide a basis for the selection and research order design of the fracturing fluid injection sequence, CO2 pre-injection method, CO2 injection volume, CO2 injection displacement, etc. By carrying out an analysis of the main engineering factors affecting the fracturing effect, this step can prioritize the study of the main factors and exclude irrelevant factors, thereby simplifying the analysis process. And by selecting factors with a relatively high correlation with the target parameters, the accuracy of the optimization scheme can be effectively enhanced. The Pearson correlation coefficient in the selection of the main fracturing engineering parameters can be described as follows: (2) In the formula, r is the Pearson correlation coefficient, and its value range is -1 ≤ r ≤ 1. When 0 < r ≤ 1, it shows a positive correlation; when -1 ≤ r < 0, it shows a negative correlation; when r = 0, there is no correlation; n is the number of samples taken in the study; X and Y are random variables; and are the average values of the random variables.

[0023] Step S3: Analyze the univariate of the key parameters.

[0024] Specifically, step S3 includes: Arrange the Pearson correlation coefficients of the main fracturing engineering parameters from high to low to determine the importance ranking of the parameters affecting the fracturing effect; According to the determined ranking, use the fracture fractal dimension D , filtration area S and the proportion of the main fracture to conduct univariate analysis for each key main fracturing engineering parameter in turn to study the influence of different parameters on the hydraulic fracturing effect, and thus determine the optimal value range of each main fracturing engineering parameter.

[0025] More specifically, when step S3 conducts an analysis of the univariate of the key parameters, the Pearson correlation coefficients of each parameter can be arranged from high to low to determine the importance ranking of the parameters affecting the fracturing effect. Through the order generated by the key parameters, use the fracture fractal dimension D , filtration area S and the proportion of the main fracture to conduct univariate analysis for each key engineering parameter in turn to further explore the influence of different parameters on the hydraulic fracturing effect, and accordingly determine the optimal value range of each engineering parameter.

[0026] The surface fractal dimension can be described as: (3) The theoretical fractal dimension of rough surfaces ranges from 1 to 3. A fractal dimension of 2 means the rough surface is planar, and a fractal dimension close to 3 means the rough surface occupies almost the entire space. The measurement scale used is... The boxes cover the entire rough fracture surface F, and the required number of boxes is expressed as... For fracture surfaces that conform to the roughness law, and The relationship between them can be represented as: (4) In the formula, This represents the fractal dimension of the rough surface. When using a measurement scale... When the box, This indicates the number of boxes required to cover the entire rough fracture surface F.

[0027] Main seam ratio It can be represented as: (5) In the formula, The infiltration area of ​​the three-dimensional main seam (e.g., in m²) 2 Main seam ratio The larger the value, the more uneven the crack propagation between clusters and the greater the degree of stress interference.

[0028] Step S4: Orthogonal Experimental Design and Evaluation. Specifically, this step, based on the optimal value range obtained in Step S3, conducts a multi-factor interaction analysis of key controlling fracturing engineering parameters based on the orthogonal experimental principle. In the orthogonal experimental design and evaluation, the optimal parameter value range results obtained from single-factor analysis can be used as a basis to further conduct a multi-factor interaction analysis based on the orthogonal experimental principle. This step determines the optimal combination of CO2 pre-fracturing engineering parameters by comparing fracturing effect evaluation indicators. The orthogonal experimental principle can be a method known to those skilled in the art.

Based on the infiltration areaS Based on the statistical data, the dominant factors affecting the fracturing effect of key parameters such as fracturing fluid injection sequence, CO2 pre-injection method, CO2 injection volume and CO2 injection displacement were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient. 2.

[0031] III. Univariate Analysis of Key Parameters 1. Determine the order of importance of parameters affecting fracturing effect based on the order of Pearson correlation coefficients of each parameter; 2. Based on this order, utilize the fractal dimension of the crack. D filtration area S and the proportion of main seam Single-factor analyses were conducted sequentially for each key engineering parameter. 3. Obtain the approximate optimal optimization data range for the four key statistical parameters.

[0032] IV. Orthogonal Experimental Design and Evaluation 1.

[0035] The method of this invention utilizes GOHFER to determine the three-dimensional infiltration area based on the target parameter. SThis study utilizes Pearson correlation coefficients to analyze the correlation between different engineering parameters and fracturing effects, clarifying the priority of each parameter for research. Univariate analysis is then conducted on each parameter to determine its reasonable range. Finally, orthogonal experimental design is used to comprehensively evaluate and optimize fracturing parameters, ultimately selecting the optimal CO2 pre-fracturing engineering parameter design scheme. This technology addresses the current issue of insufficient maturity in the design of CO2 pre-fracturing technology construction schemes due to a lack of research on the field application effects and optimization of fracturing construction parameters. It helps determine suitable key fracturing process parameters in the field, effectively increasing fracture size and reservoir stimulation volume, improving fracture network structure characteristics and near-wellbore seepage, thereby further increasing the fracture drainage area. This plays a crucial role in improving the hydraulic fracturing development effect of reservoirs.
