Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas development, in particular to a gas well potential tapping and production increasing composite process. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the current oil and gas development field, tapping and production increasing of middle and low permeability reservoirs and gas wells in the middle and late development stage have become the key direction to guarantee the recovery ratio of gas reservoirs, but the existing technology always faces three core bottlenecks, which is difficult to meet the field demand.
[0003] Firstly, the effect of formation plugging removal is limited. Traditional plugging removal schemes mostly use single acid or single enzyme preparation, the acid is easy to react with formation minerals to generate secondary precipitation, the enzyme preparation has the problems of insufficient high temperature resistance and incomplete removal of organic plugging, part of the schemes adds surfactant, but the surfactant is mostly conventional type, the liquid has poor spreading property in formation pores, the plugging removal range is limited, and it is impossible to build effective seepage channels for subsequent production increasing.
[0004] Secondly, the fracture control and conductivity of fracturing are insufficient. Conventional fracturing is mostly single or two-stage construction, the temporary plugging agent is mostly single material (such as pure resin or pure microspheres), which has low steering efficiency (the fracture cannot be forced to extend to the untransformed area) or poor stability under formation conditions; at the same time, the proppant is mostly ordinary ceramic particles, which has smooth surface and insufficient compressive strength, and is easy to be embedded or broken in long-term production, which leads to rapid decay of fracture conductivity and makes it difficult to realize long-term stable production.
[0005] Thirdly, the remaining gas displacement efficiency is low. The existing gas injection displacement technology mostly uses constant pressure injection, which either causes gas channeling (damages the original seepage field of the reservoir) due to too high initial pressure, or makes it difficult to maintain the supercritical state (the high-efficiency displacement ability of supercritical gas cannot be played) due to too fast pressure increase; and there is lack of targeted desorption activation measures before gas injection, the adsorbed natural gas in the formation is difficult to be effectively desorbed, the remaining gas in the low gas saturation area cannot be fully produced, and finally the recovery ratio of the gas well is improved limitedly.
[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a composite process which can solve the problems of incomplete plugging removal, fracture control and low displacement efficiency, so as to adapt to the complex conditions of middle and low permeability and middle and late gas wells, realize the dual improvement of gas reservoir potential tapping and production increasing effect and long-term stability.

[0068] I. This invention effectively addresses the problems of incomplete deblocking, single fracture type, and rapid decline in conductivity in traditional production enhancement technologies by synergistically combining pre-treatment deblocking activation with multi-stage temporary plugging and diversion fracturing. It utilizes a compound of chelated acid, bio-enzyme preparations, and nano-surfactants, along with pulsed pressure wave-assisted injection, to efficiently remove formation scale and organic blockages while improving fluid spreadability through the interfacial activity of nano-surfactants. In multi-stage fracturing, a two-component responsive temporary plugging and diversion agent, combined with a specific sand-to-fluid ratio and nano-alumina-modified ceramic proppant, forces fractures to divert, forming a complex fracture network. This significantly expands the effective seepage range and enhances the long-term conductivity of fractures, creating a stable channel for subsequent gas injection and displacement.
[0069] II. This invention achieves a significant improvement in the development efficiency of gas reservoirs by combining a desorption activation transition process with a controllable gradient supercritical gas injection displacement process. The desorption activation transition process, through the cyclic injection, stabilization, and depressurization of a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen, can efficiently activate the adsorbed natural gas in the formation and reduce gas flow resistance. The controllable gradient gas injection mode, combined with precise control of the supercritical state, can avoid the risk of gas channeling. In addition, the real-time monitoring of the distributed acoustic sensing system ensures the uniform advancement of the displacement gas, significantly improving the recovery rate of residual gas in areas with low gas saturation and extending the stable production period of gas wells.

[0074] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.
[0075] Example 1
[0076] This embodiment focuses on Well A in a gas field. The well has a reservoir permeability of 1.2 millidarcy, a formation temperature of 95°C, a gas saturation of 52%, and has already produced 72% of its initial recoverable reserves, thus meeting the applicable conditions of this invention. The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0077] S1: Pre-blockage removal activation
[0078] Preparation of the unblocking solution: By mass percentage, the solution consists of 20% composite chelating acid, 0.8% nano-surfactant, 0.55% bio-enzyme preparation, and the remainder is formation water. Formation water is injected into a vacuum stirred tank, and stirring is started at a speed of 300 rpm. The composite chelating acid and nano-surfactant are added sequentially, and stirring is continued for 20 minutes. Then, the bio-enzyme preparation is added, and stirring is continued for another 15 minutes to obtain a homogeneous unblocking solution with a pH value controlled at 3.2.
[0079] Injection process: A high-pressure plunger pump was used to inject unblocking fluid into the target formation at a rate of 0.8 m³ / min, with a total injection volume of 2.15 times the wellbore annulus volume. The well's annulus volume is 18 m³, corresponding to an actual injection volume of 38.7 m³. During injection, a pulsed pressure wave was applied simultaneously, with parameters set to a frequency of 7 Hz and an amplitude of 0.85 MPa. The wave was paused for 5 minutes every 18 minutes until the unblocking fluid injection was complete.
[0080] Shutdown reaction: After injection, the well is shut in for 24 hours to allow the unblocking fluid to fully react with reservoir contaminants, dissolving mineral blockages such as calcium carbonate and iron oxides. It also degrades organic contaminants such as cellulose and colloids. Furthermore, the oscillating action of pulsed pressure waves removes blockage particles adhering to the well wall.
[0081] S2: Multi-stage temporary styling fracturing
[0082] Pre-flush fluid injection: Hydroxypropyl guar gum was selected as the base fluid, and 0.3% anti-swelling agent and 0.2% demulsifier were added to prepare the pre-flush fluid. The pre-flush fluid was injected at a rate of 3.4 m³ / min using a high-pressure plunger pump, with a single-stage injection volume of 26.5 m³. The purpose was to create fractures and cool the formation, thereby reducing the filtration loss of subsequent sand-carrying fluid.
[0083] Sand-carrying fluid injection: In the sand-carrying fluid system, the thickener (hydrophobic associating polyacrylamide) is 0.4% by mass, the crosslinking agent (organo-zirconium-organo-titanium composite, zirconium-titanium molar ratio 1:0.25) is added at 15% by mass of the thickener, the debriding agent (double-layer microcapsule ammonium persulfate) is added at 0.08%, and the proppant (nano-alumina modified ceramsite) is added at a sand-to-fluid ratio of 12%. The sand-carrying fluid is injected at a rate of 4.0 m³ / min, with a single-stage injection volume of 42 m³, to deliver the proppant into the crack and form effective support.
[0084] Temporary plugging and diverting agent injection: The temporary plugging and diverting agent is a mixture of temperature-responsive microspheres and oil-soluble resin particles at a mass ratio of 2:1. The injection volume is 0.2 times the volume of the pre-filled liquid, corresponding to an injection volume of 5.3 m³, and an injection rate of 2.5 m³ / min. After injection, the wellhead valve is closed.
[0085] Shutdown pressurization: The pressure is slowly increased through the surface pressurization system until the bottom hole pressure reaches 1.45 times the formation fracturing pressure. In this well, the formation fracturing pressure is 32 MPa, corresponding to a pressurization to 46.4 MPa. The pressure is maintained for 30 minutes, forcing the fracture to change direction and forming a new branch fracture.
[0086] Multi-stage circulation: Repeat steps S201-S204 above 4 times, injecting a total of 106m³ of pre-flush fluid, 168m³ of sand-carrying fluid, and 21.2m³ of temporary plugging and diverting agent to form a complex fracture network system of "main fracture + multi-branch fractures". The fracture network sweep volume is increased by more than 60% compared with conventional fracturing.
[0087] S3: Desorption and activation transition procedure (pre-step procedure for S3)
[0088] Mixed gas injection: A mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen in a 1:1 volume ratio was prepared and injected into the formation via a pressurization device, raising the injection pressure to 0.92 times the formation pressure. The original formation pressure of this well was 28 MPa, corresponding to an injection pressure of 25.76 MPa, and the injection volume was 0.4% of the formation pore volume. The formation pore volume of this well was 8500 m³, corresponding to an injection volume of 34 m³.
[0089] Pressure stabilization and depressurization: After injection, stabilize the pressure for 12 hours to allow the mixed gas to fully diffuse into the reservoir pores, and then slowly depressurize to the original formation pressure (28MPa). The depressurization rate is controlled at 0.5MPa / h to avoid secondary damage to the reservoir.
[0090] Cyclic execution: Repeat steps S301-S302 twice, injecting a total of 68m³ of mixed gas. Through the adsorption-desorption cycle of the mixed gas, the adsorbed natural gas in the reservoir is activated, improving the subsequent displacement efficiency.
[0091] S4: Controlled gradient gas injection displacement
[0092] Supercritical state control: Before construction, the wellbore temperature is raised to above the critical temperature of carbon dioxide (31.1℃) plus 5℃ using a wellbore heating device, and is actually controlled at 40℃; the bottom pressure is controlled to above the critical pressure of carbon dioxide (7.38MPa) plus 1.0MPa using a booster unit, and is initially controlled at 10MPa to ensure that the injected carbon dioxide is in a supercritical state.
[0093] Gradient gas injection: The initial gas injection pressure is set to 0.7 times the formation pressure, 28MPa×0.7=19.6MPa. The gas injection pressure is gradually increased at a rate of 0.025MPa per minute, eventually reaching 1.38 times the formation pressure, 28MPa×1.38=38.64MPa. The injection rate is maintained at 1.2m³ / min throughout the process.
[0094] Real-time monitoring: The gas leading edge propagation speed is monitored in real time through a distributed acoustic wave sensing system. When the propagation speed in a certain area is detected to slow down, the gas injection pressure gradient is adjusted appropriately to maintain the gas injection pressure gradient within the range of 0.02-0.03 MPa / min, ensuring that the gas uniformly spreads throughout the target layer.
[0095] Gas injection ends: When the total gas injection volume reaches 15% of the formation pore volume (8500m³ × 15% = 1275m³), gas injection is stopped, the well is shut in and pressure is stabilized for 48 hours, and then production is resumed.
[0096] Example 2
[0097] This example focuses on Well B in a gas field, with a reservoir permeability of 0.05 millidarcy, a formation temperature of 78°C, a gas saturation of 48%, and a cumulative production reaching 65% of the initial recoverable reserves. The lower limit parameters are used for implementation.

[0116] II. Scale Settings
[0117] To verify the superiority of the technical solution of the present invention, five comparative examples were set up, all based on the A well conditions of Example 1, with only a single variable changed or existing technical solutions adopted:
[0118] Comparative Example 1: Lack of pre-congestion removal and activation steps
[0119] The steps S2-S4 of Example 1 are executed directly, skipping the S1 pre-unblocking and activation step, and the remaining parameters are completely consistent with those of Example 1.
[0120] Comparative Example 2: Temporary blocking diverter is a single component

[0122] Comparative Example 3: Gas injection displacement in constant pressure mode

[0124] Comparative Example 4: Core parameters exceed the scope of the claims
[0125] The composite chelating acid mass percentage is 15%, which is below the range of 18-22%; the surface grafting rate of the nano surfactant is 10 mmol / g, which is below the range of 12-18 mmol / g; the gas injection pressure increase rate is 0.04 MPa / min, which is above the range of 0.02-0.03 MPa / min; and the other parameters are consistent with those in Example 1.

[0130] In summary, this invention achieves efficient potential tapping and production enhancement for medium-low permeability, medium-high temperature, and mid-to-late stage gas wells through a three-stage composite process of pre-plugging activation, multi-stage temporary plugging and diversion fracturing, and controllable gradient gas injection displacement. This process thoroughly removes reservoir blockage through the synergistic effect of the composite plugging system; constructs a complex fracture network through two-component temporary plugging and diversion and multi-stage fracturing; and improves natural gas desorption efficiency and displacement range through desorption activation and gradient gas injection.
