Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas extraction technology, and specifically relates to a method for calculating the conductivity distribution of CO2 acid fracturing full fracture. Background Technology
[0002] Acid fracturing is a key technology for the efficient development of tight carbonate oil and gas reservoirs. However, tight carbonate reservoirs suffer from poor physical properties, high temperatures, and insufficient formation pressure. Conventional acid fracturing results in rapid acid-rock reaction rates and insufficient acid etching depth, leading to poor production enhancement. CO2 acid fracturing, due to its ability to effectively reduce acid-rock reaction rates, enhance acid penetration, and improve fracture conductivity, has been applied in medium-deep carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East and tight carbonate reservoirs in the Ordos Basin of my country, achieving significant results in replenishing formation energy and increasing oil and gas production. The CO2 acid fracturing process typically involves simultaneously pumping liquid CO2 and acid into the wellbore at a certain flow rate using high-pressure and acid pumps. The two fluids begin to mix within the wellbore, reaching the CO2 critical condition before reaching the bottom of the well, forming a supercritical CO2 + acid multiphase fluid. This fluid then reacts slowly along hydraulic fractures, forming acid-etched fractures.
[0003] However, current research on CO2 acid fracturing process design and effect prediction still faces the following challenges: the synergistic etching mechanism of supercritical CO2 and acid under multiphase flow and mass transfer conditions is extremely complex. Existing acid-rock reaction kinetic models based on pure acid cannot accurately describe this process, leading to significant deviations in the prediction of fracture width distribution. Consequently, it is difficult to quantitatively assess the conductivity of fractures after acid fracturing and optimize construction parameters. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a calculation method that can reflect the synergistic etching effect of CO2 and acid and can be used to predict the conductivity distribution of the entire fracture under CO2 acid fracturing, providing a reliable theoretical basis and technical support for the optimized design of CO2 acid fracturing schemes.

[0110] Terminology Explanation:
[0111] Acid-rock reaction rate: The acid-rock reaction rate refers to the rate at which a chemical reaction occurs between acid and rock during acidification operations, and is the amount of rock dissolved by acid per unit time.
[0112] Supercritical CO2: Supercritical CO2 refers to CO2 in a supercritical state. When CO2 is above its critical temperature (30.98℃) and critical pressure (7.375MPa), the phase interface between the gas and liquid phases disappears, and CO2 is in a state that is neither gaseous nor liquid, but has some characteristics of both gas and liquid. This state is called the supercritical state.
[0113] Acid-rock reaction constant: The acid-rock reaction constant is a coefficient in the acid-rock reaction kinetic equation that reflects the proportional relationship between the reaction rate and the reactant concentration.
[0114] Reaction order: A parameter used to describe the relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of reactants. It represents the sum of the exponents of the concentrations of each reactant in the chemical reaction rate equation.
[0115] Diffusion coefficient: A parameter used to describe the diffusion ability of a substance, representing the amount of substance passing through a unit area per unit time under a unit concentration gradient. In real systems, due to the influence of various complex factors, such as the obstruction of porous media and the interaction between substances, the diffusion behavior of substances often cannot be described by a simple diffusion coefficient. The effective diffusion coefficient is a parameter that takes these practical factors into account and provides an equivalent description of the diffusion process.
