Description

[0002] Fracturing is a major measure to enhance production in low-permeability reservoirs. By creating artificial fractures through fracturing operations, the initial production and ultimate recovery rate of the oilfield can be improved. In the middle and late stages of reservoir development, artificial fractures serve as the main seepage field for water injection and oil displacement. The overall prediction and evaluation of their expansion scale and distribution direction are key issues that urgently need to be addressed in the dynamic adjustment of production measures, stabilizing oil production and controlling water, and improving recovery rate.

[0003] In related technologies, the prediction of artificial fractures is based on a theoretical model of artificial fractures constructed from data from drilling, fracturing, and logging. However, this theoretical model of artificial fractures assumes that the underground geological conditions are homogeneous and the stress field is stable.

[0064] Fracturing is a major measure for enhancing production in low-permeability reservoirs. Through fracturing operations, the expansion of natural fractures is promoted, and the resulting artificial fractures can increase the volume after reconstruction, improving the initial production and ultimate recovery rate of the oilfield. However, as the oilfield development time increases, with the overall densification of the well network and large-scale fracturing measures, the underground fracture network system and the seepage patterns of oil and water become increasingly complex, making injection-production control more difficult and leading to greater decline. Therefore, in the mid-to-late stages of development, the overall prediction and evaluation of the expansion scale and distribution direction of artificial fractures, as the main seepage field for water injection and oil displacement, is a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed for dynamic production measures adjustment, oil and water stabilization, and improved recovery rate.

[0065] Currently, the prediction of artificial fractures is generally based on data from drilling cores, imaging logging, and fracturing measures. The known artificial fracture length, height, and orientation are statistically analyzed to simulate a theoretical model of artificial fractures that corresponds one-to-one with the perforation location. However, this model assumes that the underground geological conditions are homogeneous and the stress field is stable. Therefore, the fracture direction in the general artificial fracture theoretical model is unidirectional and the fracture expansion scale is stable, which does not match the complexity of the underground fracture network after actual scale modification and cannot effectively guide actual reservoir development and production.

[0066] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this application provides a method for predicting artificial fractures in oil reservoir development, which can achieve accurate prediction of artificial fractures and effectively guide the development and production of oil reservoirs.

[0067] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a method for predicting artificial fractures in reservoir development, provided in this application embodiment, is available. Figure 1 The method includes the following steps.

[0068] Step 101: Construct a theoretical model of artificial fractures based on drilling and oil testing data of the target block.

[0069] By constructing a theoretical model of artificial cracks, the spatial distribution morphology of artificial cracks can be preliminarily clarified.

[0070] In this embodiment of the application, the theoretical model of the artificial crack can be constructed based on the Petrel software. For example, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a theoretical model of an artificial crack provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 The spatial distribution pattern of the artificial cracks can be observed.

[0071] In some embodiments, drilling and testing data include drilling core data, logging data, and fracturing data. Based on this, this step specifically includes: obtaining known key parameters of the artificial fracture based on the drilling core data, logging data, and fracturing data, wherein the key parameters include fracture length, fracture height, fracture aperture, and azimuth; and, based on the known key parameters of the artificial fracture, applying a discrete equivalent substitution method to simulate and construct a theoretical model of the artificial fracture with mean fracture length, fracture height, and azimuth corresponding one-to-one with the perforation location.

[0072] Step 102: Based on the seismic data of the target block, combined with the well logging, well logging and rock physics related test parameter data of the target block, obtain the seismic elastic parameter volume and stress field parameter volume.

[0073] By obtaining the seismic elastic parameter volume and stress field parameter volume, the theoretical model of artificial cracks can be subsequently corrected.

[0074] In this embodiment, the seismic elastic parameters in this step are obtained based on the optimization of the pore structure of the rock physical matrix. The specific acquisition process includes: obtaining particle aspect ratio and clay aspect ratio data based on well logging, drilling, and rock physical related test parameter data of the target block; quantifying the particle aspect ratio and clay aspect ratio using the equivalent medium theory; and then testing the particle aspect ratio and clay aspect ratio using the controlled variable method to determine the intergranular structure of the target rock. Figure 3(a) is a comparison chart of the predicted elastic parameters of different rock and mineral particle sizes provided in this embodiment with the measured parameters. Figure 3(b) is a comparison diagram of the predicted elastic parameters and the measured parameters of different rock minerals and clay aspect ratios provided in the embodiments of this application. According to Figure 3(a) and Figure 3(b), the curve with a particle aspect ratio of 0.35 fits the measured curve well, and the curve with a clay aspect ratio of 0.2 fits the measured curve best. Based on the intergranular structure of the target rock, a rock physics model is constructed to calculate elastic parameters that are more relevant to stratigraphic lithology and grain size. The seismic elastic parameter volume is obtained by pre-stack geostatistical inversion and is characterized using spatial grid data.

[0075] The seismic elastic parameter volume conforms to the porosity and elastic deformation characteristics of the actual subsurface matrix. These seismic elastic parameters include the P-wave / S-wave velocity ratio, density, Lamé coefficient, shear modulus, bulk modulus, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio, such as... Figure 4 As shown, where Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of seismic elastic parameters in a method for predicting artificial fractures in reservoir development, provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0076] In this embodiment of the application, the stress field parameter volume in this step is obtained through seismic spatially constrained stress field simulation. The specific acquisition process includes: obtaining faults, stratigraphic thickness, and structural surfaces based on high-precision structural interpretation using the seismic data of the target block and the spatial grid data corresponding to the seismic elastic parameter volume; obtaining the true stratigraphic trend surface curvature function by applying the least squares method and trend surface function based on the high-precision seismic structural surfaces and curvature attributes obtained from the faults, stratigraphic thickness, structural surfaces, and seismic data of the target block; and simulating the seismic spatially constrained stress field using the three-dimensional finite difference numerical simulation method based on the seismic elastic parameters and the true stratigraphic trend surface curvature function, according to the generalized Hooke's law, to obtain the stress field parameter volume.

[0077] The stress field parameters include the directions of maximum and minimum principal stresses, maximum and minimum principal strains, maximum and minimum principal stresses, principal curvatures, crack direction, and crack density index, such as... Figure 5 As shown, where Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of stress field parameters in a method for predicting artificial fractures in reservoir development, provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0078] Step 103: Based on the seismic elastic parameter volume and stress field parameter volume, the artificial crack theoretical model is corrected, and the corrected artificial crack theoretical model is used as the artificial crack model for earthquake prediction.

[0079] By correcting the theoretical model of artificial fractures, an artificial fracture prediction model for earthquakes is obtained. This model can be used to predict artificial fractures. Compared with the theoretical model of artificial fractures in related technologies, this artificial fracture prediction model, after being corrected by the seismic elastic parameter volume and stress field related data volume, can better characterize the morphology of artificial fractures in actual strata.

[0080] In some embodiments, this step includes: reconstructing the scale of the artificial crack theoretical model based on the seismic elastic parameter volume to obtain an intermediate artificial crack model; and correcting the orientation of the intermediate artificial crack model based on the stress field parameter volume to obtain a corrected artificial crack theoretical model. In other words, this step includes two sub-steps: scale reconstruction and orientation correction of the artificial crack theoretical model.

[0081] In some embodiments, the process of reconstructing the scale of an artificial crack theoretical model based on a seismic elastic parameter volume to obtain an intermediate artificial crack model includes: constructing a first nonlinear categorical variable multivariate function relating the artificial crack scale to the elastic parameters using an iterative coupled regression method based on the seismic elastic parameter volume and known key parameters of the artificial crack, wherein the key parameters of the artificial crack also include the lengths of the cracks on both flanks; and reconstructing the scale of the artificial crack theoretical model using the first nonlinear categorical variable multivariate function to obtain the intermediate artificial crack model. For example, see [link to example]. Figure 6 ,in Figure 6 The diagram showing the comparison of the artificial crack size and Young's modulus before and after scale reconstruction in the embodiments of this application illustrates the relationship between the artificial crack size and Young's modulus before and after reconstruction.

[0082] In some embodiments, the multivariate function of the first nonlinear categorical variable is obtained according to the following formula:

[0083] L fr =a*E 2 +b*LM+c

[0084] H fr =a*R bi 2 +b*E+c

[0085] In the formula: L fr This indicates the length of the artificial crack, in meters (m); H fr The value represents the artificial crack height, in meters (m); E represents Young's modulus, in gigabytes of pressure (GPa); and LM represents Lamé's constant, in units of 10⁻⁶. 9 kg 2 / (m 4 ·s 2 ); R bi This represents the rock brittleness index, expressed as a percentage; a, b, and c represent region-related constants.

[0086] In some embodiments, the orientation correction of the intermediate artificial crack model based on the stress field parameter volume to obtain the corrected artificial crack theoretical model includes: constructing a second nonlinear categorical variable multivariate function relating the artificial crack orientation to the stress field parameters using an iterative coupled regression method based on the stress field parameter volume and known key parameters of the artificial crack; and using the second nonlinear categorical variable multivariate function to correct the orientation of the intermediate artificial crack model to obtain the corrected artificial crack theoretical model. For example, see [link to example]. Figure 7 ,in Figure 7 The diagram showing the superimposed comparison of the orientation of the artificial cracks and the direction of the maximum principal stress before and after orientation correction in the embodiments of this application can be seen, illustrating the relationship between the orientation of the artificial cracks and the direction of the maximum principal stress before and after earthquake correction.

[0087] In some embodiments, the multivariate function of the second nonlinear categorical variable is obtained according to the following formula:

[0088] A fr =a*PSD max 2 +b*PSD min +c

[0089] In the formula: A frThis indicates the location of the artificial crack, in degrees; PSD max This indicates the direction of the maximum principal stress, in degrees; PSD min This indicates the direction of the minimum principal stress, in degrees; a, b, and c represent region-specific constants.

[0090] Furthermore, after obtaining the artificial fracture prediction model for earthquakes, its reliability can be verified, and the predicted artificial fractures can be coupled with the natural fractures characterized by earthquake scales to form a complex underground fracture network system, such as... Figure 8 As shown, where Figure 8 The artificial crack prediction results are verified and tested using data such as production dynamics, based on the superimposed diagram of the earthquake prediction artificial crack, natural crack coupled crack network system and Young's modulus distribution provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0091] In practical applications, artificial fracture prediction was conducted in the S6 development area of ​​the Ordos Basin. Previous modeling methods using existing technologies failed to yield predictions due to their unidirectional fracture direction and stable fracture propagation size, which did not align with the complex oil-water seepage patterns observed in actual production. Consequently, these methods were not widely adopted in guiding development strategies. However, after applying the artificial fracture prediction method for reservoir development provided in this application, the accuracy of seismic predictions improved by 27 percentage points compared to the theoretical model, and it showed good matching with dynamic production data. Figure 9 As shown, where Figure 9 This application provides a comparative schematic diagram of the artificial fracture theoretical model, the seismic prediction artificial fracture model, and production data overlaid in its embodiments. Based on the development morphology of the artificial fractures and the distribution of the sand body, the oil and water seepage patterns of each well group are analyzed, and development measures adjustment suggestions are provided for three low-yield and inefficient wells: two wells are recommended for deblocking with surfactants, and one well is recommended for perforation repair. After implementing these measures, the average daily oil production of the three wells increased by 0.33 tons (daily production doubled), with a cumulative increase of 197.42 tons over six months. The adjustment was significantly effective, confirming that this invention can provide guiding suggestions for the study of seepage patterns in the mid-to-late stages of development and the effective adjustment of development measures.

[0092] Therefore, the method for predicting artificial fractures in reservoir development provided in this application first constructs a theoretical model of artificial fractures based on drilling and oil testing data of the target block. Then, based on seismic data of the target block, combined with well logging, well logging, and rock physics-related experimental parameters, a seismic elastic parameter volume and a stress field parameter volume are obtained to correct the theoretical model of artificial fractures. The corrected theoretical model of artificial fractures is then used as a seismic prediction model for artificial fractures to predict the distribution characteristics of artificial fractures generated by fracturing. Compared with the theoretical models of artificial fractures in related technologies, this seismic prediction model of artificial fractures, after correction by the seismic elastic parameter volume and stress field data volume, can better characterize the morphology of artificial fractures in actual formations, enabling precise prediction of artificial fractures and effectively guiding reservoir development and production.
