Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of deep fracturing technology for unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, specifically relating to a method for fracturing and stimulating ultra-deep reservoirs. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-deep reservoirs are a crucial component of oil and gas resources; however, their exploitation rate is low. Ultra-deep reservoirs are located at great depths, with some Cambrian ultra-deep reservoirs reaching depths of 10,029-10,777 meters, making drilling extremely challenging. Due to the extremely complex geological conditions, high temperature and pressure, dense reservoir structure, and low natural productivity of ultra-deep reservoirs, hydraulic fracturing is necessary to create multiple fractures or activate natural fractures to form a fracture network, thereby increasing single-well productivity and achieving economical and efficient exploitation.

[0003] Ultra-deep reservoirs, due to their great depth and high temperature and pressure, present challenges during fracturing, including limited increases in flow rate and fluid viscosity, difficulty in increasing net pressure within fractures, and challenges in temporary plugging within fractures. Furthermore, natural fractures in ultra-deep reservoirs are often filled with calcite and other materials, resulting in high cementation strength and activation pressure, making it difficult to form complex fracture networks during fracturing. This severely restricts the economical and effective development of oil and gas resources in ultra-deep reservoirs. Existing hydraulic fracturing methods for ultra-deep reservoir fracturing struggle to increase net pressure and have low fracture activation efficiency. Existing acid fracturing methods for ultra-deep reservoir fracturing result in rapid acid release and fast high-temperature acid-rock reaction (the reaction rate at 180℃ is nearly 30 times faster than at 120℃). The high-temperature acid acts primarily near the wellbore, failing to etch and reduce the cementation strength of distant natural fractures, resulting in low natural fracture opening.

[0004] In conclusion, new fracturing methods still need to be studied to achieve effective fracturing of ultra-deep reservoirs and create conditions for increased production in ultra-deep reservoirs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a technical solution that enables effective fracturing of ultra-deep reservoirs, thereby creating conditions for increased production in ultra-deep reservoirs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution.

[0007] This invention provides a method for fracturing and stimulating ultra-deep reservoirs (reservoirs with a burial depth of not less than 6500m), wherein the method includes:

[0008] Acidizing step: Before fracturing the target ultra-deep reservoir, acid is injected into the target ultra-deep reservoir, and the well is shut in after the acid injection;

[0009] First fracturing step: After acidizing, the target ultra-deep reservoir is subjected to the first fracturing to form the main fracture;

[0010] Temporary plugging agent injection procedure: Inject temporary plugging agent into the target ultra-deep reservoir after the first fracturing to seal the front end of the main fracture that has already formed in the target ultra-deep reservoir;

[0011] Solid capsule acidizing steps: Solid capsule acid is injected into the target ultra-deep reservoir in a temporarily plugged state at the front end of the main fracture. The solid capsule acid enters the main fracture that has already formed in the target ultra-deep reservoir. After the solid capsule acid reaches the predetermined position, the well is shut in. During the shut-in process, the capsule of the solid capsule acid degrades under the temperature and pressure conditions in the target ultra-deep reservoir, and the acid core is released. After the acid core is released, it reacts with the fracture wall rock of the main fracture, thereby achieving targeted damage to the fracture wall of the main fracture.

[0012] The second fracturing step involves performing a second fracturing operation on the target ultradeep reservoir where the front end of the main fracture is in a temporary plugging state and has already undergone solid capsule acidification, thereby forming secondary fractures.

[0013] The ultra-deep reservoir fracturing stimulation method provided by this invention is a fracturing method that combines acidizing, temporary plugging, and solid capsule acidizing. It forms a complex fracture network in ultra-deep reservoirs through a combined force-chemical approach, thereby better stimulating the reservoirs. In this ultra-deep reservoir fracturing stimulation method, temporary plugging and targeted solid capsule acidizing are performed on the basis of acidizing and primary fracturing, followed by secondary fracturing, achieving combined force-chemical fracturing of the ultra-deep reservoir. Acidizing damages rock strength, reducing rock fracture pressure; the self-viscosity enhancement (temperature-controlled viscosity increase) of the fracturing fluid within the fracture, combined with the synergistic effect of temporary plugging, increases the net pressure within the fracture; targeted acidizing damage using capsule acid reduces the fracture initiation pressure within the fracture, achieving multi-scale acid fracturing and creating a complex fracture network; the combined force-chemical action activates natural weak surfaces, creating new fractures, connecting natural fractures, and increasing the complexity of the fracture network, enabling the development of ultra-deep reservoir oil and gas resources to reach industrial-scale oil and gas flow.

[0014] According to a specific embodiment of the ultra-deep reservoir fracturing stimulation method provided by the present invention, preferably, in the acidizing step, the acid solution used is determined according to the mineral composition of the target ultra-deep reservoir and the temperature and pressure conditions of the target ultra-deep reservoir.

[0022] In one specific embodiment, during the acidizing step, the pumping pressure of the acid solution is lower than the formation fracturing pressure of the target ultra-deep reservoir.

[0023] Rock fracturing pressure refers to the minimum pressure that the bottom of the well must withstand when the formation fractures and cracks form. Exceeding this pressure will allow drilling fluid or fracturing fluid to enter the formation fractures. It is usually estimated through field well testing.

[0035] Then the proppant is injected along with the sand-carrying fluid;

[0036] Finally, inject the displacement solution;

[0037] The fracturing fluid used in the second fracturing process can be selected from the existing fracturing fluids and fracturing fluids, but not limited to, based on the formation conditions. For example, the fracturing fluid can be slickwater fracturing fluid, and the high-viscosity fracturing fluid can be at least one of guar gum fracturing fluid, viscoelastic surfactant fracturing fluid (VES), and clean fracturing fluid.

[0038] In the second fracturing process, the pumping pressure of the pre-fracturing fluid can be determined according to actual needs, but is not limited to meeting the requirements for the formation of secondary fractures.

In the preferred technical solution, the pumping pressure of the proppant-carrying fluid in the second fracturing process exceeds the rock fracture pressure at this time, for example, 110-120 MPa. As the proppant-carrying fluid is injected, the pressure stabilizes or decreases, indicating that the fracture is expanding.

[0044] The amount of proppant injected during the second fracturing process can be determined, but is not limited to, based on actual needs, as long as it is sufficient to carry enough proppant to support the fractures formed by the fracturing. In a preferred embodiment, the amount of proppant injected during the second fracturing process is 20-80 mg / m³. 3 The injection volume of the sand-carrying fluid is 200-300m³. 3 ;

[0045] Among them, the proppant may be, but is not limited to, high-strength ceramsite of 30 / 50 mesh to 70 / 140 mesh;

[0049] According to a specific embodiment of the ultra-deep reservoir fracturing stimulation method provided by the present invention, the temporary plugging agent can be selected from existing temporary plugging agents according to the formation conditions. The selected temporary plugging agent can withstand the formation temperature and pressure and can meet the requirement of sealing the fracture front to increase the net pressure inside the fracture. For example, at least one of the following can be used: biodegradable polymer temporary plugging agent, temperature-controlled expansion particle temporary plugging agent, and fiber-particle composite temporary plugging agent.

[0050] According to a specific embodiment of the ultra-deep reservoir fracturing method provided by the present invention, preferably, the temporary plugging agent is injected into the target ultra-deep reservoir using liquid-carried injection.

[0051] More preferably, the liquid may be, but is not limited to, fracturing fluid.

[0052] According to a specific embodiment of the ultra-deep reservoir fracturing method provided by the present invention, preferably, during the injection of temporary plugging agent into the target ultra-deep reservoir, the injection pressure is lower than the formation fracturing pressure of the target ultra-deep reservoir.

[0055] According to a specific embodiment of the ultra-deep reservoir fracturing method provided by the present invention, preferably, the solid encapsulated acid is selected from solid encapsulated acids whose coating can be degraded under the temperature and pressure conditions of the target ultra-deep reservoir and whose core can be acid-etched into the target ultra-deep reservoir rock.

[0057] Obtain core samples from the target ultra-deep reservoir;

[0058] The mineral composition of the core samples from the target ultra-deep reservoir was determined using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy.

[0059] Based on the mineral composition of the core sample from the target ultra-deep reservoir and the temperature and pressure conditions of the target ultra-deep reservoir, solid encapsulated acid was selected;

[0060] In one specific embodiment, the solid encapsulated acid is selected from at least one of polymer-coated encapsulated acid, temperature-sensitive microsphere-encapsulated acid, and inorganic shell-layered sustained-release acid.

[0067] For example, with 5.5m 3 A dilute gel displacement fluid with a viscosity of 45 mPa·s is pumped at a flow rate of / min to push the solid encapsulated acid into the fracture, preventing the solid encapsulated acid from flowing back into the wellbore. In a specific embodiment of the ultra-deep reservoir fracturing method provided by this invention, preferably, during the injection of solid encapsulated acid into the target ultra-deep reservoir, the injection pressure is lower than the formation fracturing pressure of the target ultra-deep reservoir.

Attached Figure Description

[0071] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of combined hydraulic and chemical fracturing. Detailed Implementation

[0072] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0073] Example 1

[0074] This implementation provides a fracturing stimulation method for ultra-deep reservoirs.

[0075] This ultra-deep reservoir fracturing method is used to fracture and stimulate ultra-deep reservoirs at a burial depth of 8000m and a formation fracturing pressure of 140MPa-180MPa. The method includes:

[0076] Step S1: Determine the reservoir mineral composition and select appropriate acid, fracturing fluid, temporary plugging agent, and solid encapsulated acid, specifically including:

[0077] 1.1 Optimal acid solution system:

[0078] First, mineralogical analysis was performed on the core samples of the target reservoir, including X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, thin section identification, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy dispersive spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and whole-rock chemical composition analysis. Through detection, the content and proportion of carbonate minerals (calcite, dolomite), siliceous minerals (quartz, feldspar), and clay minerals (illite, kaolinite, montmorillonite) in the core samples of the target reservoir were obtained.

[0079] Based on the content and proportion of carbonate minerals and siliceous minerals in the core sample of the target reservoir, the appropriate acid system is selected. Among them, when carbonate minerals are the main components, the hydrochloric acid (HCl) slow-release acid system, or slow-release acid, emulsified acid is preferred. When there is a high proportion of dolomite or high-temperature reservoir, the hydrochloric acid-formic acid mixed acid or organic acid system is preferred. When the content of siliceous minerals or clay minerals is high, the composite acid (mud acid) of hydrofluoric acid (HF) and hydrochloric acid, or chelated acid system can be used.

[0080] During the acid determination process, based on the formation temperature of 160℃-180℃, methanol, corrosion inhibitors, pressure, and wellbore material are added to formulate corresponding corrosion inhibitors, iron ion stabilizers, clay stabilizers, and surfactants to achieve efficient and controllable use of the acid.

[0081] In this embodiment, the acid solution used is composed of: 9wt% hydrochloric acid + 3wt% acetic acid + 1.5wt% hydrofluoric acid + 2wt% Clay-Web clay stabilizer + 3wt% corrosion inhibitor + 1wt% Gasperm 1100 drainage aid + 2wt% Gel-StaL iron ion stabilizer + 0.3wt% Armohib CI-213 drag reducer + 5wt% ALSTAFLOC WS waterproofing agent + 1wt% BASF demulsifier + the balance being water.

[0082] 1.2 Optimization of Temporary Plugging Agent System

[0083] Based on formation temperature, pressure, fracture width, and permeability characteristics, determine the required temperature resistance, pressure resistance, and particle size range of the temporary plugging agent. When the formation temperature is >150℃, high-temperature resistant polymer-based or inorganic particulate temporary plugging agents should be selected to ensure the pressure resistance, high-temperature resistance, and decomposition ability of the temporary plugging agent.

[0084] Plugging Capacity Test: In this embodiment, a Biovert temporary plugging system composed of HT-828 solid resin particles, polyester fiber, and magnesium and its alloy powder was used. The resulting temporary plug was tested to ensure it could withstand a pressure of 150 MPa for 2 hours at 200 degrees Celsius. This plugging system meets the target plugging strength. Reversibility Evaluation: A degradation experiment was conducted on the plugging material under high-temperature conditions, ensuring degradation within 4 hours at 140°C, thus avoiding permanent damage to the reservoir.

[0085] 1.3. Using an acid-rock reaction system, core samples from multiple target ultra-deep reservoirs were acidified with nitric acid, lactic acid and citric acid, solid alkyl sulfonic acid, citric acid, amino sulfonic acid, and organic phosphoric acid to obtain acid-etched deep core samples.

[0086] 1.4. Using a high-temperature and high-pressure triaxial rock mechanics testing machine (GCTS-RTR-1500), triaxial compression tests were conducted on the core samples before and after acid etching in step 1.3 under confining pressure of 50-120 MPa, pore pressure of 30-60 MPa, and temperature of 120-200℃ (120℃, 150℃, 180℃, 200℃). The stress-strain curves of the rock under high-temperature mechanical-chemical damage were obtained, and the rock mechanics parameters after the high-temperature acid rock reaction were obtained.

[0087] 1.5. Based on the experimental results of step 1.4, select solid encapsulated acid that is compatible with the formation conditions of the target ultra-deep reservoir.

[0088] In this embodiment, the core of the solid capsule acid is made of solid alkyl sulfonic acid, and the capsule coating is made of PBMA solid resin.

[0089] 1.6 Optimization of Fracturing Fluid System

[0090] The fracturing fluid system is determined based on the formation temperature, pressure, fracture width, and permeability characteristics.

[0091] Step S2, the acidification step, specifically includes:

[0092] Before fracturing the target ultra-deep reservoir, acid is injected into the target ultra-deep reservoir, and the well is then shut in after the acid injection.

[0093] The acid injection volume is 50m. 3 The well was kept closed for 4 hours, and the acid injection pressure was 40 MPa.

[0094] Step S3, the first fracturing step, specifically includes:

[0095] After acidizing, pre-fracturing fluid and high-viscosity fracturing fluid are sequentially pumped into the target ultra-deep reservoir to form the main fracture, thus achieving the first fracturing of the target ultra-deep reservoir.

[0096] The pre-fracturing fluid used is FR-66 slickwater fracturing fluid with a viscosity of 200 mPa·s, a pumping pressure of 120 MPa, and an injection volume of 300 m³ / s. 3 ;

[0097] The high-viscosity fracturing fluid used was 0.35% guar gum fracturing fluid with a viscosity of 300 mPa·s, a pumping pressure of 120 MPa, and an injection rate of 200 m³ / s. 3 .

[0098] Step S4, the temporary plugging agent injection step, specifically includes:

[0099] Temporary plugging agent was injected into the target ultra-deep reservoir after the first fracturing. The temporary plugging agent was first injected at a pressure of 140 MPa and the pressure change was monitored. The injection rate of the temporary plugging agent was 1.5 m³ / min, and 6 m³ was pumped in (the pressure was stabilized at 129 MPa for 5 minutes). The pumping continued until the pressure rose to a level with pressure fluctuations of < ±2 MPa and stabilized for 20 minutes, indicating that the temporary plugging agent had sealed the front end of the main fracture that had already formed in the target ultra-deep reservoir.

[0100] Step S5, the acidification step of solid capsules, specifically includes:

[0101] For the target ultra-deep reservoir where the front end of the main fracture is in a temporary plugging state, solid encapsulated acid is pumped in using a proppant-carrying fluid; then, displacement fluid is pumped in to push the solid encapsulated acid into the fracture interior to prevent the solid encapsulated acid from flowing back into the wellbore.

[0102] After the solid encapsulated acid enters the main fracture that has already formed in the target ultra-deep reservoir and reaches the predetermined position, the well is shut off.

[0103] During the well-sealing process, the solid encapsulated acid degrades under the temperature and pressure conditions in the target ultra-deep reservoir, and the acid core is released. After the acid core is released, it reacts with the rock on the fracture wall of the main fracture, thereby achieving targeted damage to the fracture wall of the main fracture.

[0104] The sand-carrying solution consists of 0.6 wt% polyacrylamide solution with a molecular weight of 15 million; the solid encapsulated acid has a mass concentration of 5% based on 100% of the sand-carrying solution; the pumping rate of the sand-carrying solution is 7 m³ / min; and the injection rate of the solid encapsulated acid is 60 m³ / min. 3 ;

[0105] The displacement solution was a 0.1 wt% polyacrylamide solution with a molecular weight of 15 million; the viscosity of the displacement solution was 45 mPa·s; the displacement rate was 5.5 m³ / min and the injection volume was 40 m³ / min. 3 .

[0106] The solid encapsulated acid is 20 mesh (more than 3 times the diameter of the temporary plugging agent particles) to ensure it does not migrate to the fracture end. The temporary plugging agent seals the front end of the main fracture, while the solid encapsulated acid is located closer to the wellbore. During the well-clogging process, the temperature and pressure of the target ultra-deep reservoir dissolve the capsule of the solid encapsulated acid (the outer shell melts at 220℃ / 170MPa). After the capsule dissolves, the acid core is slowly released (clogging time 6 hours). After well opening, it is released at a rate of 0.1m... 3 / h low-speed backflow prevents capsule residue from clogging the pores.

[0107] Step S6, the second fracturing step, specifically includes:

[0108] In the target ultradeep reservoir, which is in a temporary plugged state at the front end of the main fracture and has completed solid capsule acidification, pre-fracturing fluid and high-viscosity fracturing fluid are pumped in sequence to form secondary fractures.

[0109] Then the proppant is injected along with the sand-carrying fluid;

[0110] Finally, displacement fluid is injected to complete the second fracturing of the target ultra-deep reservoir.

[0111] The fracturing fluid used is slickwater fracturing fluid with a viscosity of 60 mPa·s. The pumping pressure of the fracturing fluid is 125 MPa, and the injection volume of the fracturing fluid is 180 m³ / s. 3 ;
