Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas development technology, and in particular to a method for predicting volumetric pressure fracture network and volumetric volume in horizontal wells of tight oil and gas reservoirs. Background Technology

[0002] Tight oil and gas reservoirs, as an important component of unconventional oil and gas resources, are of strategic significance for ensuring national energy security. Horizontal well volumetric fracturing technology is a core means to achieve the economical and effective development of tight oil and gas reservoirs, aiming to form a complex network of fractures within the reservoir to increase the flow channels for oil and gas. Therefore, accurate evaluation of the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) formed after fracturing is crucial for optimizing fracturing design, predicting production capacity, and guiding adjustments to subsequent development plans. Currently, methods for evaluating SRV mainly include numerical simulation, physical simulation, and microseismic monitoring. Numerical simulation methods predict fracture initiation and propagation by constructing complex mathematical and physical models; however, the inherent strong heterogeneity of tight reservoirs leads to excessive simplification assumptions in the models, resulting in significant deviations between simulation results and actual field conditions. While physical simulation methods can visually reveal fracture propagation mechanisms in the laboratory, their results are limited by size effects, making it difficult to effectively generalize to the field scale.

[0003] Microseismic monitoring, a geophysical method capable of real-time and dynamic monitoring of fracture propagation, has been widely used in evaluating fracturing effectiveness in the field. This technology delineates the fracture-affected area by capturing tiny seismic events generated by rock fracturing, thereby estimating the fracture network volume. However, extensive field practice shows that the volume represented by the microseismic event cloud is usually significantly larger than the actual fracture network volume that generates effective conductivity. This is because microseismic events not only reflect the propagation of the main fracture but also include signals generated by non-effective seepage channels such as stress adjustment and micro-fractures in the rock matrix. Furthermore, the monitoring results are affected by the accuracy of the monitoring instruments and the mechanical properties of the formation rocks. Therefore, the fracture network volume calculated directly from microseismic monitoring results is generally overestimated, failing to accurately reflect the effective reservoir stimulation effect. This leads to overly optimistic evaluations of fracturing effectiveness, consequently affecting the continuous optimization of fracturing schemes and the scientific decision-making in reservoir development.

[0004] CN110738001B discloses a method for calculating the fracturing and production enhancement zone of unconventional reservoirs. This method establishes a two-dimensional equivalent mathematical model for calculating the enhanced volume, and iteratively solves the fluid mass conservation equation and fracture width equation in the fracture system by combining the initial and internal / external boundary conditions of the mathematical model to obtain the fracture fluid pressure and average fracture width in each grid block, thereby obtaining the fracture enhanced volume. Although this method quantitatively calculates the fracture volume by establishing a mathematical model, unconventional reservoirs are extremely heterogeneous, and the multi-fracture propagation law remains a major challenge in the field, making fracture volume prediction even more difficult. In addition, since this method is a numerical simulation method, it makes many assumptions, resulting in a significant deviation between the predicted results and the actual values.

[0005] CN109507723A discloses a method and system for calculating the fracturing volume of a microseismic fracturing fracture model. This method equates the microseismic fracturing fracture model to a triangular polyhedron model, projects the triangular faces of the polyhedron model, and obtains the fracturing volume of the microseismic fracturing fracture model. However, in reality, the mechanical properties of rock at microseismic monitoring event points are usually related to the monitoring accuracy of the equipment, and extensive practical experience has shown that the monitoring range of microseismic events is much larger than that of hydraulic fractures. Therefore, this method tends to overestimate the fracture volume calculated and is not ideal. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Example 1 Reference Figures 1 to 6 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a method for predicting the volumetric pressure fracture network and volumetric volume in a horizontal well of a tight oil and gas reservoir, including: In this embodiment, a typical tight oil reservoir (QC) in China is used, with a reservoir depth of 2000m. The main development layers are C6-C8 sub-layers. Horizontal well volumetric fracturing is used for development. QC1 is a typical horizontal well in the block, with the development layer being C6 sub-layer. The well spacing is 350m, the horizontal well section is 1700m long, and the oil layer penetration rate is 79.4%. 18 fracturing stages are designed, numbered F1 to F18. To evaluate the reservoir stimulation fracturing effect, 18 downhole microseismic tests are performed. Taking the basic data of stages F1 to F5 as an example, the effective fracture network swept volume of stage F1 is calculated to provide a basis for fracturing scheme optimization and effect evaluation. S1. Based on the geological and engineering parameters and microseismic monitoring fracture volume data of at least one horizontal well that has been fractured, establish a multi-factor evaluation model and calculate the weighting factors of the influence of various geological parameters and engineering parameters on the microseismic monitoring fracture volume. It should be noted that this step aims to quantitatively identify the key geological and engineering factors affecting the volume of the fracture network and their importance by analyzing historical data; Furthermore, at least one horizontal well with complete fracturing operation data and microseismic monitoring data in the study area was selected as a sample well. A three-dimensional geological model was established based on the well logging interpretation results of the sample well, and the average reservoir geological parameters and geomechanical parameters of each fracturing section were extracted from it. At the same time, the fracturing parameters and fracture volume data obtained from microseismic monitoring for each fracturing section were collected, as shown in Table 1. Among them, the reservoir geological parameters, geomechanical parameters and fracturing parameters together constitute the geological engineering parameters. Specifically, reservoir geological parameters include porosity, permeability, and oil saturation. Specifically, geomechanical parameters include the brittleness index; Specifically, fracturing parameters include the amount of fracturing fluid and the amount of sand in a single stage; Table 1. Basic parameters of the F1~F5 fracturing sections of horizontal well QC1. Furthermore, all the above parameters are mapped one-to-one with the microseismic monitoring fracture volume of each fracturing segment to form a complete basic dataset. Furthermore, based on the collected basic dataset, an evaluation model matrix and reference columns for correlation analysis are constructed, and a multi-factor evaluation model matrix composed of various geological engineering parameters is established: in, A model for evaluating crack volume in microseismic monitoring; This refers to the number of fracturing stages in a horizontal well. Basic parameters corresponding to horizontal well fracturing stimulation; Furthermore, a reference column for the evaluation matrix is ​​established, consisting of the microseismic monitoring fracture volumes corresponding to each fracturing segment: in, The volume of fractures in each fracturing section of a horizontal well, measured in cubic meters (m³). 3 ); In addition, in order to eliminate the influence of differences in the dimensions and numerical ranges of different geological engineering parameters on the analysis results, it is necessary to standardize the evaluation model matrix and the evaluation matrix reference column. Methods such as mean normalization, initial value normalization or range normalization can be used to map all data into a comparable interval (such as [0, 1]). Furthermore, based on the standardized data, grey relational analysis was used to calculate the correlation coefficient between various geological engineering parameters and the volume of microseismic monitoring cracks (reference). Figure 2 This correlation coefficient characterizes the degree of correlation between the sequence of influencing factors and the reference sequence at various time points (i.e., different fracturing stages): in, is the correlation coefficient, and is a dimensionless quantity; The coefficient is set to 0.5. These are the standardized elements of the evaluation matrix for geological and engineering parameters of each fracturing section in a horizontal well. Elements after standardization of fracture volume for microseismic monitoring of each fractured section of a horizontal well; Furthermore, based on the correlation coefficients of each fracturing segment and parameter calculated above, the average correlation coefficient of each parameter across all fracturing segments is calculated and normalized to obtain the weighting factor of the influence of various geological engineering parameters on the fracture volume of microseismic monitoring (see reference). Figure 3 ): in, Let be the weighting factors for different parameters, be a dimensionless quantity, and the sum of the weighting factors for all parameters is 1. It should be noted that this weighting factor quantitatively reflects the contribution of different parameters to the formation of the fracture network volume, providing a basis for subsequent calculation of the fracturing fracture efficiency coefficient; S2. For any fracturing section of the horizontal well to be predicted, calculate the fracturing efficiency coefficient of the fracturing section based on the geological parameters and weighting factors of each fracturing cluster perforation location within the fracturing section. It should be noted that the core of this step is to evaluate the uniformity of the distribution of fracturing fluid among different fracturing clusters within a single fracturing section. It should be explained that the more uniform the distribution, the more ideal the fracturing effect and the higher the fracture creation efficiency. This invention introduces a "fracturing fracture creation efficiency coefficient" to quantitatively characterize this efficiency. This coefficient will be used to correct the usually overestimated fracture network swept volume obtained directly from microseismic monitoring. Furthermore, taking any fracturing section of the horizontal well to be predicted as an example, its fracturing efficiency coefficient is calculated. Specifically, detailed geological parameters are obtained at the perforation locations of each fracturing cluster within the fracturing section to be predicted. Unlike the average parameters obtained in step S1, more refined data corresponding to each cluster location is needed here. These geological parameters mainly include porosity, permeability, oil saturation, and brittleness index. Subsequently, the obtained geological parameters of each cluster are standardized to eliminate the influence of dimensions. Finally, the standardized geological parameter values ​​of each fracturing cluster are multiplied by the weighting factors of the corresponding geological parameters calculated in step S1 and summed to obtain the geological quality index of each fracturing cluster (see reference). Figure 4 This index comprehensively reflects the quality of the geological conditions at the location of the cluster, and its calculation formula is as follows: in, The geological quality index for different perforation locations in the fracturing section is a dimensionless quantity. The value of the standardized geological parameter of the k-th reservoir is a dimensionless quantity. Let be the weighting factor for the k-th geological parameter, which is a dimensionless quantity; It should be noted that fracturing clusters with higher geological quality indices have rock physical and mechanical properties more conducive to fracture formation and propagation, and therefore theoretically will absorb more fracturing fluid. Based on this, the fluid inflow coefficient of a fracturing cluster can be calculated by normalizing the geological quality index of a single fracturing cluster by dividing it by the sum of the geological quality indices of all fracturing clusters within the fracturing section (see reference). Figure 5 This coefficient represents the proportion of the total liquid volume that the cluster is expected to receive: in, is the fluid injection coefficient of the lth cluster in the horizontal well fracturing section, and is a dimensionless quantity; L represents the cluster number of the fracturing section in the horizontal well; L is the number of clusters in the fracturing section of the horizontal well, in units of clusters. Furthermore, by multiplying the total planned fracturing fluid volume for the fracturing stimulation section by the fluid injection coefficient of each fracturing cluster calculated in the previous step, the specific fracturing fluid volume allocated to each fracturing cluster can be predicted (see reference). Figure 6 ): in, For the horizontal well fracturing and stimulation section Cluster injection volume, in cubic meters; Q is the total fracturing fluid volume of the horizontal well fracturing section, in cubic meters; It should be noted that, since ideal volumetric fracturing requires fracturing fluid to enter uniformly among the clusters in order to form a balanced fracture network, the dispersion of the predicted fluid inflow of each cluster reflects the efficiency of the fracturing operation. Based on this, we also need to calculate the standard deviation of the predicted fluid inflow of each fracturing cluster within the fracturing stimulation section. The larger the standard deviation, the more uneven the fluid inflow of each cluster. Specifically, the formula for calculating this standard deviation is as follows: Where D is the standard deviation of the predicted fluid inflow of each fracturing cluster within the fracturing modification section; Furthermore, the final fracturing efficiency coefficient is determined based on this standard deviation. It should be noted that the more uneven the fluid injection distribution among the fracturing clusters, the larger the standard deviation, and the smaller the corresponding fracturing efficiency coefficient. in, is the fracturing efficiency coefficient, and is a dimensionless quantity; It should be noted that the fracturing efficiency coefficient directly quantifies the degree to which the fracture network within a segment is effectively and evenly modified. S3. Based on the fracture volume and fracture creation efficiency coefficient of the fracturing section, the effective fracture network swept volume of the fracturing section is calculated. It should be noted that the purpose of this step is to solve the core problem of the generally large microseismic monitoring volume mentioned in the background technology. By using the "fracture efficiency coefficient" calculated in step S2, which can reflect the uniformity of the segment modification, as a correction factor, the original fracture network swept volume obtained by field monitoring is corrected, so as to obtain an effective fracture network swept volume that is closer to the actual oil and gas production contribution. Furthermore, the effective fracture network swept volume of a single fracturing section is calculated; Specifically, the volume of microseismic monitoring fractures in the fracturing section to be predicted is multiplied by the fracturing efficiency coefficient calculated in step S2 for that fracturing section. The product is the effective fracture network swept volume of the fracturing section. in, The volumetric pressure fracture network sweep volume in a horizontal well is expressed in 10,000 cubic meters. The volume of fractures monitored by microseismic monitoring in the t-th fracturing segment of the horizontal well is expressed in 10,000 cubic meters; T is the number of the fracturing segments in the horizontal well, expressed in segments; t is the number of the fracturing and modified segment in the horizontal well. It should be noted that the effective fracture network swept volume obtained through the above calculation eliminates the loss of stimulation efficiency caused by the uneven distribution of fracturing fluid among clusters within the segment. The result is more practically physical than the original microseismic monitoring volume and can more accurately reflect the reservoir stimulation area with effective conductivity. In addition, to obtain an evaluation of the overall fracturing effect of the horizontal well to be predicted, steps S2 and S3 can be repeated to calculate all fracturing sections of the horizontal well in sequence. The effective fracture network sweep volume can ultimately yield the effective alteration volume profile of each section distributed along the horizontal wellbore, providing a more scientific and quantitative basis for the well's production capacity prediction, subsequent optimization of fracturing schemes, and adjustment of the development strategy for the entire block.
