AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for in-situ conversion of medium- and low-maturity shale suffer from low heating efficiency and poor economic viability. In particular, there is insufficient attention paid to how to expand the thermal field and improve efficiency in in-situ regeneration of non-high thermal conductivity shale, which requires drilling multiple wells, resulting in high costs and poor economic performance.
By employing gas fracturing and molten salt-assisted extraction, single-well heating is used to form a fracture network structure. The melting temperature of the molten salt is controlled to be slightly higher than the formation temperature for heating and catalytic hydrocarbon generation. This reduces the hydrocarbon generation temperature, achieves self-sealing of the shale layer and efficient heat transfer, and increases the thermal sweep volume.
By using single-well heating extraction, costs are reduced and economic efficiency is improved, achieving efficient heat transfer and economic recoverability of shale oil. Costs are reduced by 50-60%, drilling costs are reduced by 75%, and economic benefits are increased by 90-150%.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas exploration and relates to a method and apparatus for in-situ conversion and extraction of shale oil by gas fracturing and molten salt-assisted in-situ heating. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the national economy, my country's oil and gas demand and imports have continued to climb over the past decade, with oil dependence exceeding 70%. According to the National Energy Administration's Oil and Gas Strategy Research Center, under my country's "dual carbon" (carbon peaking and carbon neutrality) goals, my country's energy has transitioned to new energy sources, but its oil and gas demand remains insufficient. Assessments predict that by 2060, my country's oil demand will still reach 230-240 million tons, exceeding its domestic production capacity. Even with the vigorous development of medium-to-high maturity shale oil, my country's annual crude oil production barely maintains around 200 million tons, facing numerous challenges. Finding major replacement areas for oil and gas exploration and development is crucial for ensuring national energy security. Preliminary estimates suggest that China's medium-to-low shale oil resources exceed 20 billion tons. A breakthrough in the in-situ conversion of medium-to-low shale oil would make my country a major energy power, reduce its dependence on imported crude oil, and significantly improve its energy security situation. Currently, most global shale oil in-situ conversion technologies are in the theoretical stage, a small number are only in the pilot stage, and only Shell's ICP method has entered the field trial stage.
[0003] Domestic and international in-situ shale conversion methods are mainly physical methods, which can be further subdivided according to the heating mechanism into heat conduction (Shell: CN87100890A, ExxonMobil: CN10163655A); heat convection + conduction (Chevron and Taiyuan University of Technology: CN103114831A) and radiation + heat conduction (Raytheon: CN116335610A). Based on the assimilation and absorption of foreign methods, domestic scholars have proposed chemical-based methods (CN105840162B); localized chemical methods (CN103790563B; 202111291684; CN113374460B); biochar-assisted heating of oil shale for shale oil and gas extraction (CN109184649B); and in-situ conversion systems and methods using supercritical water oxidation (CN115263). 260B). These methods mainly focus on exploring heating methods, conduction fluids, and heat source materials, with most methods focusing only on a single heat transfer method. Although in recent years some scholars have begun to focus on the combination of modification processes and heating methods, for example, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (publication number CN107178350A) proposed a method of combining modification with high-temperature supercritical fluids for in-situ extraction of shale oil, that is, modifying heating wells and production wells to increase formation permeability, and injecting high-temperature supercritical fluids with catalytic metals into the heating wells; Wang Youping et al. (CN109424345B) proposed a method of combining catalyst proppant fracturing and heating for in-situ extraction of oil shale; Zhao Jinmin et al. (CN201310152533.7) proposed a method of combining in-situ vertical well fracturing and chemical distillation for extracting oil shale oil.
[0004] However, to date, there is still insufficient attention paid to the most important core problem of efficient heat transfer in in-situ conversion of medium and low-maturity shale (how to expand the thermal field range and improve efficiency in in-situ regeneration of non-high thermal conductivity shale). In particular, the need to drill multiple wells, low heating efficiency, and poor economic efficiency are prominent issues. There is an urgent need to propose revolutionary technologies to address these problems in order to achieve economically recoverable shale. Summary of the Invention

[0039] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the fractured well has a complex fracture network structure, and the fracture height within the shale range needs to be controlled within the shale range to ensure that the fracture network does not connect to sandstone layers outside the shale layer.
[0040] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, a heater, preferably an electric heater, is inserted into the tubing and plugged into the fractured well section. The length of the heater is approximately equal to the length of the fractured section (L). h >L f ).
[0041] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the molten salt is preferably a nitrate (a series of mixed salts). Thermal conductivity tests and melting experiments of the series of mixed salts are conducted on nitrates with different ratios to determine the thermal conductivity values and melting temperature range (T) of the series of nitrates. i min ~T i max(where i represents different proportions of salt).
[0042] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the melting temperature T of the molten salt is selected through a series of mixed salt melting experiments. i min With formation temperature T s Satisfying relation 5 < T i min -T s <50.
