Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of unconventional oil and gas reservoir exploration and development technology, specifically relating to a fracturing method suitable for mixed sedimentary rock reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] With the innovation of oil and gas exploration concepts, the exploitation of unconventional oil and gas resources with significant resource potential has attracted increasing attention. Unconventional oil and gas includes tight sandstone oil and gas, shale oil and gas, tight carbonate oil and gas, and tight mixed sedimentary rock oil and gas. Among them, tight mixed sedimentary rock oil and gas is a special category, generally developed in marine-continental transitional environments or at the margins of terrestrial lacustrine basins, with unique sedimentary environments and complex lithologies. In some areas, mixed sedimentary rock reservoirs are formed by the mixing and sedimentation of terrigenous clastic and carbonate components. Mixed sedimentary rock reservoirs consist of endogenic clastic limestone, endogenic clastic sandstone, felsic micritic dolomite, silty mudstone, calcareous mudstone, oolitic limestone, mudstone, and saline-gypsum mudstone, etc., with very complex lithology, and high contents of dolomites, calcareous materials, and siliceous materials. Endogenic clastic limestone and intraclastic sandstone contain well-developed reservoir spaces with large pore sizes and good physical properties, while felsic micritic dolomite has relatively poor physical properties, classifying it as a low-permeability to tight mixed sedimentary reservoir. The basic characteristics of mixed sedimentary reservoirs are: 1) complex lithology and diverse pore throat types; 2) reservoir physical properties are highly correlated with lithology, with intraclastic limestone generally having a porosity greater than 15%, while micritic dolomite has poor physical properties, with a porosity of 10% or less and an average permeability of less than 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. -3 μm 2 3) Densification factors are complex and controlled by a variety of geological factors such as sedimentary facies and later diagenesis.
[0003] Due to their complex lithology and poor physical properties, mixed sedimentary reservoirs require stimulation measures to achieve industrial oil flow. Previously, these reservoirs were considered conventional sandstone and stimulated using conventional hydraulic fracturing, primarily relying on guar gum fracturing fluid to create fracture channels, which were then filled with proppant of varying particle sizes. However, this approach generally yielded poor stimulation results. Therefore, research is needed to develop targeted fracturing techniques to improve stimulation effectiveness. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to address the problems and shortcomings of existing fracturing methods for mixed sedimentary reservoirs, such as low single-well production, rapid production decline, and low efficiency. This invention provides a multi-angle fracturing stimulation method for mixed sedimentary reservoirs. Targeting the characteristics of mixed sedimentary reservoirs, such as high carbonate content and poor physical properties, this method combines chemical dissolution and physical-mechanical techniques to achieve a multi-dimensional stimulation effect encompassing micropores, drainage area, and stimulation volume ("pore, surface, and volume"), thereby increasing post-fracturing production, extending the high-production period, and significantly improving the stimulation effect of mixed sedimentary reservoirs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0006] A fracturing method suitable for mixed sedimentary rock reservoirs includes pre-compression using guar gum gel fracturing fluid, slug construction based on low-viscosity drag-reducing water and small-particle-size proppant, multi-stage acid etching, continuous proppant addition using guar gum gel fracturing fluid, and displacement operation; among which, the key control processes include:
[0007] 1) Slug construction based on low-viscosity drag-reducing water and small-particle-size proppant;
[0008] A first injection was performed using low-viscosity drag-reducing water, high displacement, and small-particle-size proppant (70-140 mesh); a second injection was performed using guar gum gel fracturing fluid while maintaining the same displacement; the above injection steps were repeated.
[0009] 2) Multi-stage acid etching process;
[0010] First, inject the first-stage pre-acid at a high flow rate; keep the flow rate constant and inject low-viscosity drag-reducing water as the isolation fluid; then inject the second-stage slow-release acid, and inject low-viscosity drag-reducing water again as the isolation fluid.
[0011] 3) Continuous sand addition for fracturing fluid using guar gum gel;
[0012] Guar gum fracturing fluid carrying small-diameter proppant was used for continuous sand addition operations, and then guar gum fracturing fluid carrying large-diameter proppant was used for continuous sand addition operations.
[0013] In the above scheme, the guar gum gel fracturing fluid can be a conventional guar gum gel fracturing fluid system.
[0014] In the above scheme, the displacement of the guar gum gel fracturing fluid used for pre-compression is 3-8 m³ / h. 3 / min, liquid volume 30-80m 3 .
[0015] In the above scheme, the viscosity of the low-viscosity drag-reducing water is 6-12 mPa·s, and the drag reduction rate of the drag-reducing water is over 70%.
[0016] Furthermore, the slug construction steps based on low-viscosity drag-reducing water and small-particle-size proppant specifically include: injecting low-viscosity drag-reducing water at a displacement of 3–6 m³ / h. 3 / min, liquid volume 50-100m 3 Add proppant with a particle size of 70-140 mesh, maintain a sand-to-liquid ratio of 7-9%, and add 1-3 mg / L of proppant. 3 Keep the displacement constant and inject 20-40m³ 3 The guar gum fracturing fluid was injected; low-viscosity drag-reducing water was continued to be injected at a flow rate of 3-6 m³ / h. 3 / min, liquid volume 50-100m 3 Add proppant with a particle size of 70-140 mesh, maintain a sand-to-liquid ratio of 7-9%, and add 1-3 mg / L of proppant.3 Keep the displacement constant and inject 20-40m³ 3 Guar gum gel fracturing fluid.
[0017] In the above scheme, the components and their mass percentages in the pre-acid include: HCl 8-12%, corrosion inhibitor 1-3%, iron ion stabilizer 1-3%, surfactant 0.5-1%, clay stabilizer 0.5-1.5%; the remainder is water.
[0018] In the above scheme, the components and their mass percentages in the slow-release acid include: HCl 8-12%, formic acid 2-5%, corrosion inhibitor 1-3%, iron ion stabilizer 1-3%, surfactant 0.5-1%, clay stabilizer 0.5-1.5%; the remainder is water.
[0019] Furthermore, iron ion stabilizers can be citric acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, or isoascorbic acid, etc.; surfactants can be sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, or Tween-type anionic nonionic surfactants, etc.; clay stabilizers can be polyethylene quaternary ammonium salt or ammonium chloride.
[0020] In the above scheme, the multi-stage acid etching process specifically includes: injecting the first-stage pre-acid, wherein the flow rate is 3-6m³. 3 / min, liquid volume 40-120m 3 Keep the displacement constant and inject 20-50m³ 3 Low-viscosity, drag-reducing water is used as the isolation fluid; then a second-stage slow-release acid is injected, with a flow rate of 3–6 m³ / h. 3 / min, liquid volume 80~150m³ 3 Maintain the same displacement and continue injecting 50-100m³. 3 Low-viscosity, drag-reducing water is used as the isolation fluid.
[0021] In the above scheme, the continuous proppant addition step of the guar gum gel fracturing fluid includes: using guar gum gel fracturing fluid to carry small-diameter proppant particles of 40-70 mesh or 30-50 mesh, controlling the volumetric proppant-to-liquid ratio at 10%-15%-20%-25%-30% sequentially, with the volume of each proppant addition stage evenly distributed according to the remaining liquid volume, and the proppant addition amount being 10-100 m³. 3 Continue using guar gum fracturing fluid to carry larger proppant (30-50 mesh or 20-40 mesh) than the proppant used in the previous proppant addition operation. Control the volumetric proppant-to-liquid ratio at 30%-35%-40%, with the volume of each proppant addition stage evenly distributed according to the remaining liquid volume. The amount of proppant added is 5-50 m³. 3 Continuous sand addition is adopted.
[0022] Furthermore, before fracturing operations, based on the parameters of the mixed sedimentary reservoir well, commercially available fracturing simulation software is used to simulate the dynamics of fracture propagation and fracturing production under different fracturing operation parameters to determine whether temporary plugging operations should be carried out.
[0023] Based on the simulation results, if temporary plugging agent or temporary plugging balls are required for temporary plugging operations, then the temporary plugging balls or agents should be carried by guar gum gel fracturing fluid, with a volume of 20-25m³. 3 .
[0024] Furthermore, if a temporary plugging process is required, after the temporary plugging, the above-mentioned slug construction based on low-viscosity drag-reducing water and small-particle-size proppant, multi-stage acid etching construction, and continuous sand addition construction with guar gum gel fracturing fluid are repeated before the replacement operation is carried out.
[0025] In the above scheme, the substitution operation uses activated water, and the components and their amounts in the activated water include: surfactant 0.5-1%, clay stabilizer 0.5-1.5%; the remainder is water.
[0026] Furthermore, the surfactant may be an anionic nonionic surfactant such as dodecylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, sodium stearate, or polyethylene glycol fatty acid ester, and the clay stabilizer may be potassium chloride, ammonium chloride, or polyethylene quaternary ammonium salt.
[0027] In the above scheme, the displacement operation steps include: injecting active water as the displacement fluid, the volume of which is the wellbore volume; stopping the pump and recording the instantaneous pressure at the shut-in point; shutting in the well and allowing it to diffuse; and measuring the pressure drop for 30 to 40 minutes.
[0028] The principle of this invention is as follows:
[0029] This invention addresses the characteristics of mixed sedimentary rock reservoirs, such as high carbonate content and poor physical properties, by combining chemical dissolution and physical-mechanical methods to modify these reservoirs.
[0030] On the one hand, the mixed sedimentary rock reservoir has a high carbonate content. The "two-stage acid etching process" can improve the porosity and permeability of the reservoir matrix, thereby increasing the permeability and improving the matrix flow. Specifically, two acid systems and a high-volume injection method are used. The first stage uses a hydrochloric acid system, which is mainly used to etch the fracture walls and improve the conductivity of the fractures. The second stage uses a slow-speed acid system to reduce the acid-rock reaction rate and increase the acid action distance. The acid is filtered into the reservoir matrix and reacts with the carbonate minerals therein, thereby increasing the porosity and permeability. The high-volume injection method can shorten the acid's near-wellbore action time and achieve deep acid dissolution.
[0031] On the other hand, mixed sedimentary reservoirs generally have poor physical properties, making large-scale stimulation difficult and short-lived using only acidizing or acid fracturing. Furthermore, mixed sedimentary reservoirs contain a large amount of clay and other minerals, making it difficult to effectively maintain the conductivity of fractures after acid etching. This invention employs a "low-viscosity multi-stage alternating, intra-fracture temporary plugging and diversion" process to increase fracture complexity and drainage area, combined with high-strength support from multi-stage fractures to expand the stimulation volume. A pre-placed low-viscosity, drag-reducing water-carrying silt plug utilizes the rapid diffusion of low-viscosity liquids to fill natural fractures, maximizing the opening of complex fractures within the formation. Then, high-viscosity gel fracturing fluid is continuously added to increase fracture conductivity. Finally, a temporary plugging agent is introduced to form a filter cake that temporarily seals the fractures, increasing intra-fracture pressure and forcing one or more new fractures to open in high-stress areas, thereby increasing the stimulation volume.
[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0033] (1) This invention addresses the high carbonate content characteristic of mixed sedimentary rock reservoirs by employing a multi-stage acid etching process, which can effectively improve the porosity and permeability of the reservoir matrix, enhance the flow capacity from the matrix to the fractures, and improve the etching effect on the fracture walls. The multi-stage acid etching process uses two acid systems: a pre-acid system and a slow-release acid system, along with a high-volume injection method. The pre-acid system uses a hydrochloric acid system, which is mainly used for etching the fracture walls to improve the conductivity of the fractures. The second stage uses a slow-release acid system to reduce the acid-rock reaction rate and increase the acid action distance. The acid is filtered into the reservoir matrix and reacts with the carbonate minerals therein, thereby improving porosity and permeability. The high-volume injection method can shorten the near-wellbore action time of the acid and achieve deep acid dissolution. Through the multi-stage acid etching process, combined with low-viscosity drag-reducing water isolation fluid, the etching effect on the fracture walls and the flow capacity from the matrix to the fractures are improved, the oil drainage radius is increased, and thus the fracturing effect is improved.
[0034] (2) This invention provides a sand fracturing method for promoting complex fractures by using pre-positioned low-viscosity liquid and temporary plugging and diversion. The pre-positioned low-viscosity drag-reducing water carries silt slugs and utilizes the rapid diffusion characteristics of low-viscosity liquid to fill natural fractures, which can maximize the opening degree of complex fractures within the formation. Furthermore, a temporary plugging agent is introduced to form a filter cake to temporarily seal the fractures, increase the pressure within the fractures, and force the high-stress zone within the formation to open one or more new fractures, thereby increasing the stimulation volume. At the same time, the mixed sedimentary rock reservoir contains a large amount of clay and other mineral components, and the conductivity of the fracture walls after acid etching is difficult to maintain effectively. By further combining the sand fracturing method for promoting complex fractures, the conductivity of the fractures and the stimulation volume can be greatly improved, and the production of a single well can be increased.
[0035] (3) The pore surface fracturing method for mixed sedimentary reservoirs described in this invention combines the advantages of acid fracturing and sand fracturing, and can achieve multiple functions such as increasing matrix pore permeability, oil drainage area and stimulation volume, thereby increasing post-fracturing production, extending high-production time, and greatly improving the stimulation effect of mixed sedimentary reservoirs. It effectively solves the problems of low single-well production, rapid production decline and low efficiency of conventional fracturing stimulation of mixed sedimentary reservoirs, and achieves a technological breakthrough for this type of reservoir.

Relying solely on the etching of the fracture wall by high-concentration acid is not suitable for mixed sedimentary reservoirs. When the fracturing method in Comparative Example 1 was used for production, the initial daily oil production was only 2.93 cubic meters. Compared with the adjacent well using the perforated body fracturing method, the initial oil production was poor, and the production increase effect was not obvious.
