Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas development, and in particular to a method for predicting fracture-controlled reserves in shale oil reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] Shale oil, as a strategic alternative to petroleum, is the main force driving my country's crude oil reserve growth and production, and an important resource for ensuring national energy security. The core of unconventional volumetric fracturing is the construction of artificial oil reservoirs through large-scale, long horizontal well slickwater volumetric fracturing. Fracture-controlled reserves (Fractured Reserves) are a core indicator for evaluating the effectiveness of volumetric fracturing in shale oil and gas reservoirs. However, compared to North America, my country's shale oil reservoirs are highly heterogeneous, with vertically interbedded thin composite lithologies and well-developed natural fractures. The occurrence and distribution of these fractures lack effective characterization methods, making it difficult to understand the interaction between hydraulic and natural fractures. This poses a significant challenge to characterizing and evaluating fracture-controlled reserves formed by volumetric fracturing, and makes it impossible to quantitatively evaluate fracturing effectiveness and single-well productivity.
[0003] Domestic and foreign scholars have conducted preliminary research on the calculation of the swept volume and fracture-controlled reserves of multi-fracture networks. Currently, there are mainly the following methods: (1) Li Zhiqiang et al. (Li Zhiqiang, Qi Zhilin, Yan Wende et al. A calculation method for unconventional reservoir fracturing and production enhancement zone, patent number: CN201910985860.8) This method treats fractured reservoirs as dual continuous medium reservoirs, establishes the fluid mass conservation equation in the fracture system, and establishes a two-dimensional equivalent mathematical model for calculating the enhanced volume based on the natural fracture activation criterion, fracture width equation, full tensor permeability conversion equation, cubic law, and fracture porosity calculation method. Combining the initial and internal and external boundary conditions of the mathematical model, the fluid mass conservation equation and fracture width equation in the fracture system are iteratively coupled to obtain the fracture fluid pressure and average fracture width in each grid block, thereby obtaining the fracture enhanced volume. This method quantitatively calculates the fracture volume by establishing a mathematical model. However, unconventional reservoirs are extremely heterogeneous, and the propagation law of multiple fractures is still a bottleneck problem in the field, making fracture volume prediction even more difficult. This method is a numerical simulation method with many assumptions, and the predicted results differ significantly from the actual values. (2) Le Hong et al. (Le Hong, Fang Hongming, Zhou Changlin et al. Evaluation method and system for reservoir utilization efficiency of horizontal well-fracturing in tight sandstone gas reservoirs, patent number: CN202111028352.4). This method includes obtaining reservoir parameters of tight sandstone and regional seismic and logging data, sand fracturing construction data and field detection data, establishing a three-dimensional geostress model, simulating the propagation of artificial fractures during fracturing, and embedding the artificial fracture morphology into the three-dimensional geological model. By comparing and fitting the post-fracturing production prediction results with the tracer interpretation and post-fracturing test results, the utilization efficiency of artificial fracture reservoirs after fracturing is evaluated, and the degree of balance of multi-fracture propagation is evaluated. (3) Tang Dongyang et al. (Tang Dongyang, Pang Rui, Zhao Deming et al. Method and system for calculating the fracturing volume of a microseismic fracturing fracture model, Patent No.: CN201710835626.8). This method equates the microseismic fracturing fracture model to a triangular polyhedron model; projects the triangular faces in the triangular polyhedron model to obtain multiple convex pentahedrons; and obtains the fracturing volume of the microseismic fracturing fracture model based on the volume of the multiple convex pentahedrons. The microseismic monitoring event points are related to the mechanical properties of the rock and the monitoring accuracy of the equipment. Extensive practice has shown that the monitoring range of microseismic events is much larger than that of hydraulic fractures, thus this method overestimates the fracture volume.
[0004] The above methods primarily rely on mainstream downhole microseismic monitoring technology and reservoir numerical simulation methods to determine the fracture control volume, and further calculate fracture-controlled reserves based on reservoir physical parameters. Downhole microseismic monitoring technology obtains the fracture control volume based on the parameters and volume of fractures responding to event points during fracturing. However, numerous studies have confirmed that the fracture volume monitored by microseismic monitoring is far larger than the actual volume of reservoir stimulation, making it impossible to accurately calculate fracture control reserves. Furthermore, microseismic monitoring is time-consuming and expensive, making it difficult for oilfields to conduct monitoring for every well to obtain fracture volume. Current reservoir numerical simulation methods can only establish experimental-scale models, revealing fracture propagation patterns, and the differences between these models and actual large-scale reservoir conditions are significant. Therefore, to accelerate the efficient development of shale oil and establish a suitable volumetric fracturing technology model for shale oil, a reliable, convenient, and economical method for predicting fracture control reserves is urgently needed to improve the accuracy of fracturing effect evaluation and further advance technological progress. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for predicting fracture-controlled reserves in shale oil reservoirs. This method first collects geomechanical parameters and fracturing parameters of horizontal wells at the same platform and stratigraphic level in the shale oil reservoir. Then, using grey theory, it calculates the correlation factors between each parameter and the fracture volume monitored by downhole microseismic monitoring, identifying the main controlling parameters affecting fracture volume. Next, based on the main controlling parameters of fracture volume, it calculates the fracture control factors for each fracturing section, further establishing a correlation chart between the horizontal well fracture volume and the fracture control factors, and quantitatively predicting the fracture volume of each fracturing section in the predicted horizontal well. Finally, it establishes a geological model of the reservoir where the predicted horizontal well is located, corrects the fracture volume, and further combines the physical properties of each fracturing section to predict fracture-controlled reserves, thereby achieving the purpose of quantitative characterization.

[0011] Furthermore, in step (1), the geomechanical parameters and fracturing parameters of horizontal wells on the same platform and at the same stratigraphic level as the target shale oil reservoir are collected. Grey theory is used to calculate the correlation factors between each parameter and the fracture volume monitored by downhole microseismic monitoring, thus identifying the main controlling parameters affecting fracture volume.

[0024]
[0025] In the formula: To evaluate the standardized elements of the matrix; (X i (j)) max It represents the maximum value in the parameter set of the j-th influencing factor.
[0026] Furthermore, step (16) also includes:

[0032] In the formula: ξ j For relevance; in The data are standardized from the main factors of the evaluation indicators; The data represents the standardized parameters affecting the volumetric properties of the crack; ρ is the resolution coefficient.
[0033] Furthermore, step (2) involves calculating the fracture control factor for each fractured section based on the fracture volume master control parameter, establishing a correlation chart between fracture volume and fracture control factor in the horizontal well, and quantitatively predicting the fracture volume of each fractured section in the target horizontal well. This also includes:

[0047] Furthermore, in step (33), the fracture volume of each fracturing section is corrected, and the calculation formula is as follows:
