AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are insufficient to achieve economically recoverable production in shale gas reservoirs, and existing simulation methods suffer from high computational complexity and slow iterative convergence under multi-physics coupling, making it difficult to meet the needs of real-time prediction and optimization decision-making.
A multi-domain thermo-fluid-structure interaction numerical model is constructed, which combines a mechanistic model with a data-driven prediction model. Multi-physics features are extracted through convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory networks to establish a rapid mapping relationship, thereby achieving refined characterization and efficient prediction of the thermal recovery process of shale gas reservoirs.
It significantly improves the simulation accuracy and prediction efficiency of multiphysics interaction processes in shale gas reservoirs, enabling rapid assessment of the impact of thermal injection on gas desorption, seepage, and fracture conductivity. It supports the optimization of thermal enhancement parameters and the adjustment of development strategies, thereby improving recovery rate and economic benefits.
