[0020] It should be noted that "at the time of..." in the embodiments of this application can be either at the instant when a certain situation occurs, or for a period of time after the occurrence of a certain situation. The embodiments of this application do not make specific limitations on this.
[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a parameter simulation method based on deep shale gas reservoirs is provided. This method is executed by computer equipment, specifically by a terminal or server alone, or by both a terminal and a server. It includes the following steps 101 to 103: Step 101: Obtain a preset geological model; wherein, the preset geological model includes shale reservoir, wellbore, and fracturing perforation; Specifically, a preset geological model is established on finite element software. The preset geological model is established based on the geological exploration data of the target deep shale gas reservoir.
[0023] Specifically, the pre-set geological model should include the morphology of shale reservoirs, wellbore and fracturing perforations and their positional relationships, as well as the corresponding model parameters.
[0024] Step 102: Simulate the fracturing-production process of the preset geological model based on the preset fracturing-production coupling model; wherein, the preset fracturing-production coupling model is used to simulate the process of wellbore flow, fracture propagation and reservoir seepage from fracturing to production. The preset fracturing-production coupling model includes a wellbore flow model, a fracture flow model and a shale reservoir flow model. Specifically, the pre-defined fracturing-production coupling model of this application can realize the coupled simulation of the entire fracturing and production process, reveal the interaction mechanism between fracture propagation and changes in reservoir pressure and saturation, avoid the errors caused by analyzing fracturing and production separately, and significantly improve the accuracy of dynamic prediction of shale gas reservoir production.
[0025] Step 103: Based on the preset fracturing-production coupling model and the preset geological model, perform iterative solution to obtain the simulated parameter distribution data in the fracturing-production process; wherein, the simulated parameter distribution data includes one or more of the following: fracture morphology distribution after fracturing, pressure distribution data of the shale reservoir after fracturing, water saturation distribution data of the shale reservoir after fracturing, pressure distribution data of the shale reservoir after production, and water saturation distribution data of the shale reservoir after production.
[0026] Specifically, the equations are solved using a sequential iterative approach that reveals saturation through implicit pressure, employing the finite volume method and the displacement discontinuity method, to obtain simulation parameter distribution data. This method can be applied to scenarios such as hydraulic fracturing scheme design and optimization for deep shale gas reservoirs, post-fracturing production prediction and dynamic analysis, and integrated numerical simulation of geological engineering for unconventional oil and gas reservoirs.
[0027] Implementing steps 101 to 103 above can be used in scenarios such as hydraulic fracturing scheme design and optimization for deep shale gas reservoirs, post-fracturing production prediction and dynamic analysis, and integrated numerical simulation of unconventional oil and gas reservoir geology and engineering. By using a pre-set geological model (including shale reservoir, wellbore, and fracturing perforations), geological simulation of the shale reservoir, wellbore, and perforation locations is achieved. A pre-set fracturing-production coupling model simulates the fracturing-production process involving coupled wellbore flow, fracture propagation, and reservoir seepage, and solves for the simulation parameter distribution data. This enables accurate simulation of pressure distribution and water saturation variation during the integrated fracturing-production process, improving the accuracy of parameter simulation based on deep shale gas reservoirs.
[0028] Furthermore, Figure 2 This outlines the specific steps of a parametric simulation method for deep shale gas reservoirs. The following sections will... Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application will be described in detail based on the above.
[0029] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, in order to more comprehensively simulate the geology of the target deep shale gas reservoir, in step 102, the preset geological model includes a physical model based on the shale reservoir, wellbore, fracturing perforation, and fracture plane region division based on the location of the wellbore and fracturing perforation, and also includes geological model parameters. For example, such as Figure 3 The physical model shown is the one provided in Example 1. Figure 3 : Specifically, the perforation point is a point located on the wellbore to simulate a crack point on the wellbore. One or more perforation points can be set. Specifically, the fracture plane region is a plane in the shale reservoir that is perpendicular to the wellbore and contains the perforation point. The black grid area represents the possible expansion path of the fracture, the gray area represents the currently formed fracture plane, and the blue cube area represents the reservoir matrix.
[0030] Specifically, as geological model parameters, these include data based on shale reservoir geometry, top and bottom depths, thickness, reservoir porosity, permeability, initial pressure, initial water saturation, rock mechanical parameters, and stress field distribution. Rock mechanics parameters include elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and fracture toughness, while stress field distribution data includes the magnitude and direction of the stress field.
[0031] The pre-defined geological model comprehensively simulates the geology of the target deep shale gas reservoir. This provides a foundation for subsequently simulating the integrated process of fracturing, well shut-in, flowback, and production (i.e., the fracturing-production process in this paper) and improving the accuracy of simulation parameters. The fracturing-production process specifically includes: During fracturing, fracturing fluid is injected from the wellhead and flows through the wellbore, entering the fracture at the perforation point. When the fracture reaches the fracture propagation condition, the fracture propagates, and the fracturing fluid is filtered out from the fracture and enters the reservoir. During the well-sealing process, no fluid flows in or out of the wellhead, and the fracturing fluid in the fractures continues to be lost to the reservoir. During the flowback and production phases, fracturing fluid and formation fluid are extracted from the wellhead through the wellbore.
[0032] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, in order to achieve coupled simulation of the entire fracturing and production process and to reveal the interaction mechanism between fracture propagation and changes in reservoir pressure and saturation, step 102 pre-sets the fracturing-production coupling model in the wellbore flow model, fracture flow model, and shale reservoir flow model, and also includes an elasticity model and a fracture propagation criterion model. The following is a detailed description of the wellbore flow model, fracture flow model, shale reservoir flow model, elasticity model, and fracture propagation criterion model: Specifically, the wellbore flow model is used to describe the flow process of fracturing fluid from the wellhead through the wellbore and perforation holes into the fracture. The wellbore flow model includes the bottom hole pressure equation and the flow distribution equation, taking into account wellbore friction, perforation pressure drop, and fluid column pressure. The bottom hole pressure equation is: (1); in, For crack pressure; This refers to the wellhead pressure. This refers to the pressure of the liquid column. For wellbore friction pressure drop; For the pressure drop at the perforation point; For multi-cluster fracturing, the flow distribution equation must also be satisfied, which can be expressed as: (2); in, Q total This represents the total injection volume into the wellbore. Q i This represents the flow rate entering each cluster of fractures. A single fracture constitutes a cluster of fractures.
[0033] Specifically, the fracture flow model is used to describe the mass conservation relationships of the flow of the gas phase, water phase, and proppant phase in the fracture.
[0034] Fractures are considered as high-permeability channels characterized by embedded discrete fracture grids. Within the fractures, the two-phase flow of fracturing fluid (aqueous phase) and shale gas (gas phase) must be considered simultaneously, as well as the migration of proppant. Ignoring the proppant flow into the reservoir, the mass conservation equations for the gas, aqueous, and proppant phases within the fractures can be expressed as equations (3) to (5): (3); (4); (5); In the formula, t Indicates time, Indicates density, v The subscripts represent flow rate, S represents saturation, g represents the gas phase, w represents the aqueous phase, and pr represents the proppant phase. This refers to the volume fraction of the proppant. The flow rate of the gas phase, aqueous phase, or proppant phase in the fracture. This refers to relative penetration rate. k For absolute penetration rate, p For pressure, Viscosity, g It is the acceleration due to gravity. h For depth; The width of the crack; , and This refers to the flow exchange term between the wellbore and the fracture. and The flow exchange term between the fracture and the reservoir is calculated using the following formula: (6); In the formula, the subscripts f and m represent fracture and reservoir, respectively; For the flow rate of the gas phase or the aqueous phase, Reservoir permeability; and These are fracture pressure and reservoir fluid pressure, respectively. This represents the average distance between the reservoir grid and the fracture grid.
[0035] Combining formulas (3) to (5), the crack flow model of this application can be expressed as: (7); in, The total density of the fracture fluid and proppant; c Represents volume fraction. For source and sink items, ; The total velocity of fluid and proppant in the fracture; Specifically, shale reservoir flow models are used to describe the seepage process of the gas-water two-phase system.
[0036] The shale reservoir matrix is the primary reservoir space, containing formation water and shale gas. The flow within the matrix is a two-phase gas-water flow. Its flow equation is expressed as: (8); (9); In the formula, This refers to reservoir porosity.
[0037] By combining equations (8) and (9), we can obtain the overall flow equation for the gas and water phases in the reservoir (shale reservoir flow model): (10); Specifically, the elasticity model is used to describe the mechanical equilibrium relationship between fluid pressure, induced stress and far-field stress in the crack element. The elasticity model is shown in formula (13) below. As its derivation process, the displacement discontinuity in the crack can be described by the following formula. D z (In this invention, this refers to the crack width) w f At any point in space M (x,y,z) Induced normal displacement and normal stress: (11); (12); in, for M Normal displacement of a point; displacement discontinuity D z That is, the width of the crack. w f , for M Normal stress at a point; , , For the Poisson's ratio of rocks, The elastic modulus of the rock; , , and They are respectively g right z The first, second, and third derivatives; where, for any crack element... i Then, according to the superposition principle, the substance applied to the unit can be obtained. i The net stress on the surface satisfies the following formula (i.e., the elasticity model): (13); in, For crack elements i Internal fluid pressure; For unit j The discontinuity of normal displacement; For unit j For unit iThe influence coefficient; For far-field stress in the element i The normal component on; Specifically, the crack propagation criterion model describes the Type I stress intensity factor at the crack tip: (14); in, K I The stress intensity factor at the crack tip is Type I. In this invention, only Type I open cracks are considered. When the stress intensity factor at the crack tip is greater than the fracture toughness of the rock, the crack expands.
[0038] In another exemplary embodiment of this application, step 103 specifically includes: Step 301: For each current time step, obtain updated fracture width and fluid pressure distribution data based on the wellbore flow model, elasticity model, fracture flow model, and shale reservoir flow model. Step 302: Based on the fracture width and fluid pressure distribution data, the updated gas phase saturation distribution data, water phase saturation distribution data and proppant concentration distribution data are obtained by simultaneously solving the saturation equation in the fracture (Formula (4)), the saturation equation in the reservoir (Formula (8)) and the proppant migration equation (Formula (5)). Step 303 takes the next time step as the current time step, and returns to execute step 303 based on the updated fracture width, fluid pressure distribution data, gas phase saturation distribution data, water phase saturation distribution data and proppant concentration distribution data until the simulation of the entire process of fracturing, well shut-in, flowback and production is completed. Step 304 uses the fracture morphology distribution, pressure distribution data of the shale reservoir after fracturing, water saturation distribution data of the shale reservoir after fracturing, pressure distribution data of the shale reservoir after production, and water saturation distribution data of the shale reservoir after production as simulation parameter distribution data.
[0039] Specifically, the above nonlinear equations are all solved using the Newton-Raphson iterative method to ensure computational accuracy and convergence.
[0040] Example 1: like Figure 3 The physical model of Embodiment 1 provided in this application establishes a preset geological model through the physical model and the geological model parameters of the exploration, and obtains the simulation parameter distribution data according to the method of this application.
[0041] The acquired simulation parameter distribution data includes the geometry of the fractures after fracturing (see...). Figure 4 ), data on fluid pressure distribution in shale reservoirs after fracturing (see Figure 5Water saturation distribution data after fracturing (see) Figure 6 ), shale reservoir fluid pressure distribution data one year after production (see Figure 7 ) and water saturation distribution data one year after production (see Figure 8 ).
[0042] This application provides a parameter simulation method based on deep shale gas reservoirs, which has the following technical advantages: By dynamically coupling reservoir flow in fracturing simulation, the limitations of the traditional empirical filtration coefficient method are eliminated, and the actual filtration loss and distribution of fracturing fluid in the reservoir can be captured more accurately, laying a solid foundation for post-fracturing assessment and production capacity prediction.
[0043] It achieves coupled simulation of the entire fracturing and production process, which can reveal the interaction mechanism between fracture propagation and changes in reservoir pressure and saturation. It avoids the errors caused by analyzing fracturing and production separately, and significantly improves the accuracy of dynamic prediction of shale gas reservoir production.
[0044] By establishing a unified mathematical model and an efficient solution strategy, a refined simulation of the entire fracturing-production process has been achieved. This simulation can be applied to scenarios such as hydraulic fracturing scheme design and optimization for deep shale gas reservoirs, post-fracturing production prediction and dynamic analysis, and integrated numerical simulation of unconventional oil and gas reservoir geology and engineering. It provides an important theoretical analysis and scheme optimization tool for the efficient development of deep shale gas.
