Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas field development technology, specifically relating to the prediction of closure pressure during fracturing; and particularly to a dynamic correction method and related equipment for closure pressure during fracturing. Background Technology

[0002] Closure pressure refers to the average pressure exerted on the fracture surface by the fluid within the smallest existing fracture opening. As a hydraulic fracturing parameter, closure pressure is one of the main bases for selecting proppant type, particle size, deployment concentration, and determining conductivity. It helps ensure the correct use of proppant and optimize the effectiveness of fracturing operations. Therefore, obtaining closure pressure is crucial for fracturing construction or fracturing evaluation.

[0003] Closing pressure is typically obtained through field measurements. Common methods include stepped injection testing, backflow testing, equilibrium testing, and pressure drop curve analysis, but these methods are too costly. Closing pressure can also be calculated during fracturing operations using instantaneous pump stop pressure and sudden changes in flow rate; however, these methods are essentially post-fracturing calculations. Currently, the closing pressure referenced in fracturing construction parameter design is generally historical test data or pre-fracturing prediction data. Inaccurate prediction data will directly affect the construction results. It is generally believed that the minimum principal stress is the closing pressure. Therefore, predicting the closing pressure involves calculating the minimum principal stress. Currently, the main methods for calculating the minimum principal stress include the pore elastic horizontal strain model, triaxial strain model, Mohr-Coulomb stress model, uniaxial strain empirical relation, Huang's empirical relation, combined spring empirical relation, differential empirical relation, and Georg's geostress empirical relation, all of which are calculated using geomechanical parameters. However, during fracturing, fracturing fluid leaks into the formation, causing an increase in pore pressure near the fracture and resulting in formation swelling, which in turn increases the minimum principal stress in that area. During the shut-in and flowback process, the fracture remains open due to the proppant, so this stress increase persists. Therefore, it is evident that the minimum principal stress predicted using the above method based on geomechanical parameters still differs from the fracture closure pressure calculated through analysis, testing, and fracturing operations.

[0004] Therefore, it can be seen that the existing prediction methods fail to consider the increase in minimum principal stress caused by the elastic effect of pores, resulting in inaccurate prediction of the pre-compression closure pressure. Summary of the Invention

[0059] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings: Example 1 As described in the background section, current methods for calculating minimum principal stress mainly include pore elastic horizontal strain models, triaxial strain models, Mohr-Coulomb stress models, uniaxial strain empirical relations, Huang's empirical relations, combined spring empirical relations, differential empirical relations, and Ge's geostress empirical relations. All of these methods are derived from geomechanical parameters. However, the minimum principal stress predicted using these methods based on geomechanical parameters still differs from the fracture closure pressure calculated through analysis, testing, and fracturing operations. This is primarily because these prediction methods do not consider the influence of pore elasticity. During fracturing, fracturing fluid leaks into the formation, causing an increase in pore pressure near the fracture and resulting in formation swelling, thus increasing the minimum principal stress in that area. During well shut-in and flowback, the fracture remains open due to the proppant effect; therefore, this stress increase persists. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a closure pressure prediction method that considers the pore elastic effect to achieve dynamic correction of the closure pressure during fracturing.

[0060] To achieve the above objectives, this embodiment provides a dynamic correction method for the closure pressure during fracturing, which can solve the problem of inaccurate prediction of the closure pressure before fracturing. This allows for dynamic adjustment of fracturing parameters during the fracturing process, improving the fracturing effect and increasing post-fracturing production.

[0076] Example 2 In this embodiment, the dynamic correction method for closure pressure during fracturing mentioned in Example 1 is applied to the closure pressure prediction stage during the fracturing process of a specific target well. The target well belongs to a fractured tight sandstone reservoir. In order to improve the production of the single well, it is necessary to fracture the reservoir. In order to reasonably set the construction parameters and improve the success rate of fracturing, it is necessary to dynamically correct the closure pressure during the fracturing process. The specific implementation steps are as follows: S1. Obtain the geomechanical parameters of the target well.

[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, the reservoir rock density, formation water density, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio were obtained from well logging data; the effective stress coefficient obtained from field data was 1.00, the tectonic stress coefficient in the direction of maximum horizontal principal stress was 0.73, the tectonic stress coefficient in the direction of minimum horizontal principal stress was 0.65, and the porosity coefficient was 0.25.

[0083] It is evident that the calculation results of this method are closer to the actual situation, and it can achieve dynamic correction of the closing pressure during fracturing, thereby optimizing construction parameters and improving construction results; it can provide effective reference and guidance for fracturing construction of other wells.

[0084] In summary, this invention provides a dynamic correction method for closure pressure during fracturing, which has the following advantages compared to existing closure pressure prediction methods: This invention provides a dynamic correction method for closure pressure during fracturing.
