Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal gas development technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for predicting hydraulic flowback fluid in coal gas reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] Coal shale gas is a hydrocarbon gas generated by medium- to high-rank coal or transported from other gas sources within coal reservoirs. Through reservoir stimulation, it can be rapidly produced and extracted on a large scale. Similar to shale gas development, coal shale gas development typically requires horizontal wells and volumetric fracturing to establish "artificial oil and gas reservoirs" for industrial development. Single wells are characterized by high initial production, rapid decline rates, and long periods of stable low-production. Horizontal well staged fracturing reservoir stimulation technology is one of the two key technologies for achieving large-scale shale gas development. It typically utilizes packers or bridge plugs to perform staged fracturing, creating multiple fractures within the horizontal wellbore, thereby effectively stimulating the reservoir and increasing single-well production. The different hydrocarbon generation, pore structure, permeability, and mechanical properties of coal reservoirs of different ranks determine their different development methods. Taking the high-rank coal-gas resources on the eastern edge of the Ordos Basin as an example, the coal reservoirs have good structure, high brittleness index, and strong roof and floor shielding. A multi-stage fracturing process mode for horizontal wells, characterized by "ultra-large discharge capacity + ultra-large fluid volume + ultra-high sand volume + rapid flowback," has been gradually developed. This effectively improves reservoir connectivity, maximizes reserve control, and allows gas wells to be extracted based on formation energy depletion. However, the "ultra-large fluid volume" staged fracturing development mode for horizontal wells consumes a large amount of water resources, typically ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of fracturing fluid per well, leading to water consumption and environmental problems.
[0003] In order to effectively reduce water consumption, the common practice is to reuse fracturing fluid. The fracturing fluid returned from production wells is treated and reused. This not only saves a lot of water consumption, but also further reduces development costs.
[0004] Therefore, dynamic real-time prediction of the flowback fluid volume of gas wells, well groups, well areas, blocks, and the overall gas reservoir during the large-scale development of coal-rock gas reservoirs can provide a data basis for the overall development optimization of gas reservoirs, maximize the reuse of gas well flowback fluid, and thus achieve the goal of reducing water resource consumption and development costs, and improving development efficiency.

[0050] Example 1
[0051] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for predicting fracturing flowback fluid in coal and rock gas reservoirs according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the prediction of fracturing flowback fluid in coal and rock gas reservoirs. This method can be executed by a coal and rock gas reservoir fracturing flowback fluid prediction device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0052] S110. Construct a fracturing fluid flowback data matrix. The fracturing fluid flowback data matrix represents the flowback fluid volume of each coal and gas well in each effective production day. The fracturing fluid flowback data matrix is obtained from the fracturing fluid flowback fluid volume data of the coal and gas wells that have been put into production in each effective production day.
[0053] Data on fracturing fluid flowback from operational coal and gas wells is collected. Simultaneously, labels are added to the wells indicating their oilfield company, reservoir, block, well area, well group, well type, and year of commissioning. This facilitates subsequent iterative calculations and standard curve fitting based on predetermined attributes. Dynamic production data for a single coal and gas well typically includes date, daily gas production, flowback fluid volume, oil pressure, casing pressure, and transmission pressure. This embodiment uses date and flowback fluid volume data for coal and gas wells. Dynamic production data is typically acquired using a data platform and real-time data acquisition methods to ensure the frequency and quality of data updates. Typical production curves for coal and gas wells are usually calculated based on dimensions such as oilfield company, reservoir, block, well area, well group, and well type.
[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, constructing a fracturing fluid flowback data matrix includes:
[0055] Obtain fracturing fluid flowback data for each coal gas well on different natural days;
[0056] Valid production days are determined based on the dates during which wells are not shut in, and zero values in the fracturing fluid flowback data are removed and processed continuously.
[0057] The fracturing fluid flowback data were aligned based on the effective production days, and a fracturing fluid flowback data matrix was constructed based on the longest effective production time of each coal and gas well.
[0058] Standard curves are typically derived from daily fracturing fluid flowback data of coal and rock gas wells. Daily data usually consists of the calendar date and flowback fluid volume. However, in actual production, wells are shut down due to workover and other process measures, resulting in zero flowback fluid volume for calendar dates. Fracturing fluid flowback data processing converts calendar dates to actual production days, removes zero values due to well shutdowns, and performs continuous processing on the flowback fluid data. After data preprocessing, fracturing fluid flowback data from all sample wells in the database are aligned using the longest effective production time (t) of all coal and rock gas wells in the sample database. max To ensure accuracy, a fracturing fluid flowback data matrix is constructed. The first row of the data matrix represents the effective production time, and zeroing is applied to gas wells with insufficient effective production time. The constructed fracturing fluid flowback data matrix is shown in the following formula:
[0059]
[0060] In equation (1), t max The longest effective production time of coal-rock gas wells in the sample database is d; Let m be the daily fluid production of the nth well in the sample database at time t. 3 / d.
[0061] S120. Based on the fracturing fluid flowback data matrix, a flowback fluid volume data matrix per unit length is obtained. The flowback fluid volume data matrix per unit length represents the flowback fluid volume per unit length of each coal and gas well in each effective production day.
[0062] In this embodiment of the invention, a flowback volume data matrix per unit length is obtained based on the fracturing fluid flowback data matrix, including:
[0063] Divide each fracturing fluid flowback data in the fracturing fluid flowback data matrix by the length of the fracturing section of the corresponding coal-rock gas well to obtain the flowback fluid volume data matrix per unit section length.
[0064] The fracturing fluid flowback data matrix and the fracturing section length of the gas well are used to calculate the flowback fluid volume per unit section length, as shown in Equation (2). Finally, the daily fracturing fluid flowback data matrix per unit fracturing section length is obtained as shown in Equation (3).
[0065]
[0066] In equations (2) and (3), Let m be the actual fracturing section length of the nth well in the database; Let m be the flow-back fluid volume per unit fracturing section length corresponding to time t in the nth well in the database. 3 / (d·m).
[0067] S130. Determine the standard curve data for each effective production day in the unit section length return liquid volume data matrix.
[0068] In this embodiment of the invention, the number of valid data for each valid production day in the unit section length return liquid volume data matrix is determined;
[0069] The data selection interval for each effective production day is determined based on the number of valid samples, and the average value of the valid data within the data selection interval is used as the standard curve data for each effective production day.
[0070] Standard curve data is an important foundation for data-driven methods of predicting flowback fluid in coal and gas reservoirs. It is obtained by processing and analyzing daily flowback fluid data per unit fracturing section length and is used to construct a standard curve that reflects the variation law of flowback fluid volume in coal and gas wells, providing a key basis for subsequent flowback fluid volume prediction.
[0071] The standard curve data of fracturing flowback fluid is obtained by using the daily data matrix of fracturing flowback fluid per unit fracturing section length. Specifically, the calculation method is to calculate the dynamic median average of all valid daily data (non-zero data) of fracturing flowback fluid per unit fracturing section length for each day, and then obtain the corresponding standard curve data.
[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, the data selection interval for each effective production day is determined based on the number of effective samples, and the average value of the effective data within the data selection interval is used as the standard curve data for each effective production day, including:
[0073] Divide the numerical intervals of different valid data, and set a first correspondence between each numerical interval and the dynamic median average, and a second correspondence between each numerical interval and the data selection interval;
[0074] Based on the target value range where the number of valid data for each valid production day falls, the target dynamic median average value for each valid production day is determined according to the first correspondence relationship.
[0075] Based on the second correspondence, the target data selection interval for each effective production day is determined, and the standard curve data for each effective production day is determined based on the effective data within the target data selection interval and the average of the target dynamic median.
[0076] Specifically, the dynamic median mean is calculated by sorting the fracturing flowback fluid volume per unit fracturing section length of all sample wells corresponding to a given production time, and then calculating it based on the number of valid samples (S). tThe final number of valid samples is calculated (as shown in Formula 4 below). Finally, the corresponding number of samples is taken from the middle of the sorted data of the flowback fluid volume per unit fracturing section length, and the arithmetic mean is calculated as the standard curve data. This method can not only remove outlier data in the flowback fluid volume per unit fracturing section length at a given time, but also make use of more sample data to obtain the standard curve data. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the calculation of standard curve data applicable to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
[0077]
[0078] In equation (4), is the number of valid samples selected for the final dynamic median average calculation, which is dimensionless; the content in parentheses represents the numerical range of valid data. For example, if the number of valid data, St, is 30, then in equation (4), it falls within the range of 20-100 (excluding 100). In equation (4), the coefficient before the numerical range is used to reflect the first correspondence. Taking St as an example of 30, multiplying it by the coefficient 0.5 yields the dynamic median average of 15.
[0079]
[0080] Equation (5) is the formula for calculating the dynamic median average. The data for the flowback fluid per unit fracturing section length at time t is calculated based on the dynamic median average. (m) 3 / (d·m). The second correspondence refers to selecting a range based on the numerical interval and its corresponding valid data. For example, when the number of valid data is 20≤S t When P < 100, 25 ~P 75 The standard curve data is obtained by using the arithmetic mean of the sample data in the interval (i.e., the 25th to the 75th data point) as the dynamic median mean; when the number of valid data points is 100 ≤ S t When <200, P 20 ~P 70 The standard curve data is obtained by using the arithmetic mean of the sample data in the interval as the dynamic median mean; when the number of valid data is 200 ≤ S t When P < 400, 15 ~P 75 The standard curve data is obtained by using the arithmetic mean of the interval sample data as the dynamic median mean; when the number of valid data is 400 ≤ S t When <800, P 10 ~P 90 The standard curve data is obtained by using the arithmetic mean of the interval sample data as the dynamic median mean; when the number of valid data S t When ≥800, P5~P 95The standard curve data is obtained by using the arithmetic mean of the interval sample data as the dynamic median mean.
[0081] Since the calculation of standard curve data is affected by the sample size and statistical method, the fracturing flowback fluid volume per unit fracturing section length obtained in equation (5) needs to be truncated and equivalently corrected. Because the production time of the sample gas wells is different, the number of effective production days of a given gas well on a given date varies, and the sample size in the standard curve data matrix shows a gradually decreasing trend. Therefore, the typical curve data needs to be truncated according to the sample size. In this embodiment of the invention, the sample size is preferably 20. Standard curve data with fewer than 20 samples are cleared, and the final standard curve data is obtained after data truncation, as shown in equation (6) below:
[0082]
[0083] S140. Fit a standard curve based on the standard curve data, and use the standard curve to predict the backflow liquid.
[0084] In this embodiment of the invention, fitting a standard curve based on standard curve data includes:
[0085] The standard curve data is fitted using at least one alternative curve fitting prediction model. The coefficient of determination and the adjusted coefficient of determination are determined after fitting. The alternative curve fitting prediction model with the highest coefficient of determination and the adjusted coefficient of determination is taken as the target curve fitting prediction model.
[0086] Based on the preset production time limit, the standard curve data is fitted by the target curve fitting prediction model to obtain the standard curve.
[0087] The flowback fluid volume of fracturing in coal-rock gas wells is characterized by large initial flowback volume, rapid decline rate, and small flowback volume over a long period. The standard data of flowback fluid volume per unit fracturing section length obtained in equation (6) are fitted. Since coal-rock gas is in its initial development stage, the actual production time of the wells in the sample database is generally short. Based on the fitting of the standard curve data, prediction is needed to obtain the final full-lifecycle standard curve of flowback fluid volume per unit fracturing section length. The obtained curves are fitted and predicted using the formulas ExpGro3, Boltzmann, Logistic5, ExpDec3, ExpDecay3, and HyperbolaGen. The model is optimized based on the fitting accuracy to obtain the final standard curve.
[0088] ExpGro3 formula:
[0089] Boltzmann formula:
[0090] Logistic5 model:
[0091] ExpDec3 formula:
[0092] ExpDecay3 formula:
[0093] HyperbolaGen formula:
[0094] In the above formulas, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, and A7 are dimensionless constants in the ExpGro3 fitting formula; B1, B2, B3, and B4 are dimensionless constants in the Boltzmann fitting formula; C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5 are dimensionless constants in the Logistic5 fitting formula; D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, and D7 are dimensionless constants in the ExpDec3 fitting formula; E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, and E8 are dimensionless constants in the ExpDec3 fitting formula; and F1, F2, F3, and F4 are dimensionless constants in the HyperbolaGen fitting formula.
[0095] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a standard curve fitting method applicable to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a fitting prediction of a continuous smooth standard curve applicable to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. During the fitting process of fracturing flowback fluid data per unit fracturing section length, the fitting accuracy control parameters are the coefficient of determination and the adjusted coefficient of determination. The formula with the highest coefficient of determination and the adjusted coefficient of determination is preferred for interpolation extrapolation prediction. Attention is paid especially to the fitting accuracy of the final segment of the standard curve data during the fitting process. Where is the actual observed value; is the regression predicted value; is the average of all actual observed values; k is the number of data points in the dataset; and is the number of independent variables (including the constant term) in the regression equation. After determining the optimal fitting formula, extrapolation prediction is performed to obtain a continuous smooth standard curve of fracturing fluid flowback per unit fracturing section length corresponding to a production time of 1–6600 days (6600 days is a conventional upper limit of production time). This curve is used for iterative prediction of fracturing flowback fluid volume. The coefficient of determination, the adjusted coefficient of determination, and the continuous smooth standard curve of fracturing fluid flowback per unit fracturing section length from 1 to 6600 days are shown in the following formula.
[0096] Coefficient of determination (R-Square(COD)):
[0097] Adjusted coefficient of determination (Adj. R-Square):
[0098] In this embodiment of the invention, predicting backflow fluid using a standard curve includes:
[0099] Determine the category of the target coal and gas well to be predicted;
[0100] Based on the category and the corresponding fitting rules, the flowback volume of the target coal and rock gas well is predicted using a standard curve.
[0101] Currently, the prediction of recoverable reserves in a single coal-rock gas well mainly draws on the prediction methods for unconventional natural gas such as shale gas. By fitting standard curve data and interpolating extrapolation, a set of continuous daily data on the flowback fluid volume per unit fracturing section length can be obtained. Using standard curve data, the flowback fluid volume data of wells already in production, deployed wells (wells under drilling, completed wells, and fracturing wells), and planned wells can be predicted.
[0102] 1. Prediction of fluid return from wells already in production.
[0103] Zero-value data on daily flowback fluid volume from already operational wells is removed to generate continuous single-well daily flowback fluid volume data. Future daily flowback fluid volume is predicted based on the cumulative flowback volume, effective production time, and a continuously smoothed standard curve of daily flowback fluid volume per unit fracture section length from already operational wells. Given a database, multiple continuously smoothed standard curves of daily flowback fluid volume per unit fracture section length with different dimensions may exist. Typically, the standard curve data with the smallest dimension belonging to the gas well is selected first for predicting daily flowback fluid volume. For example, if a gas well's tag includes standard curve data for oilfield company, gas reservoir, block, and well area, then the standard curve data for daily flowback fluid volume per unit fracture section length of the corresponding well area is selected first for prediction. Predicted daily flowback fluid volume for already operational wells:
[0104]
[0105] in, The effective production leave after clearing the "zero value" data of the daily flowback fluid volume of the nth well put into production is d; Let m be the predicted future daily flowback fluid volume for the nth well. 3 / d; m is the daily flowback volume per unit fracturing section on day t, obtained after fitting and predicting standard curve data. 3 / (d·m); The first one obtained after fitting and predicting the standard curve data. Daily flowback fluid volume per unit length of fracturing section per day, m 3 / (d·m). By fitting continuous smooth standard unit fracturing section length daily flowback fluid volume data, the future daily flowback fluid volume of wells already in production can be predicted in a rolling manner.
[0106] 2. Prediction of fluid return from deployed wells:
[0107] For a given oilfield company, gas reservoir, block, and well area, the deployed wells need to be further subdivided into wells currently being drilled, wells completed, and fracturing wells for prediction:
[0108] Drilling in progress:
[0109] Drilling completed:
[0110] Fracturing wells:
[0111]
[0112] in, To predict the daily flowback volume of fracturing fluid during well drilling, m 3 / d; To predict the daily flowback volume of fracturing fluid in well drilling, m 3 / d; To predict the daily flowback volume of fracturing fluid in a fracturing well, m 3 / d;L Design The design length of the horizontal section for drilling is given in meters (m); L Drilled The actual horizontal section length is in meters (m); L F R is the length of the horizontal section of the fracturing process, in meters (m); D-F The average horizontal section length fracturing utilization rate refers to the average horizontal section length fracturing utilization rate of all production wells in the sample library, which is dimensionless. Let n be the actual length of the fractured section in the nth well, in meters. Let be the actual horizontal section length of the nth well, in meters.
[0113] 3. Prediction of well flowback volume in planning and deployment.
[0114] In actual development, rolling development plans are continuously formulated for a given oilfield company, gas reservoir, block, or well area, and a large number of gas wells are deployed according to the plans. The daily flowback volume of the planned wells can be predicted based on the planned horizontal section length. At the same time, the predicted daily flowback volume of fracturing fluid is summarized by combining the minimum dimension well construction cycle, drilling cycle, waiting period for fracturing, and fracturing cycle.
[0115] Planned deployment wells:
[0116] in, To predict the daily flowback volume of fracturing fluid for well planning and deployment, m 3 / d;L P The length of the horizontal section of the well is determined by the planned deployment design, in meters (m).
[0117] Furthermore, the main purpose of the rolling iterative prediction of fracturing flowback fluid volume in coal and rock gas wells is to grasp the future flowback fluid volume of the platform, well area, block, gas reservoir, oilfield company, or basin in real time, optimize the design based on the predicted flowback fluid volume to maximize the full reuse of fracturing flowback fluid volume, and at the same time, grasp the water resource preparation volume based on the reuse of fracturing flowback fluid volume, and continuously optimize the implementation arrangement of fracturing measures. Equation (22) gives the matrix of daily fracturing fluid flowback volume of production wells, deployed wells (drilled wells, completed wells, and fracturing wells), and planned deployment wells, where t A This refers to the current prediction time, d; T D For drilling cycles, d; T AF For coal and gas platform well group development, fracturing measures can usually be implemented only after the wellhead or half of the platform has been fully drilled. Therefore, there is a waiting period for fracturing after the well is completed; T F For fracturing cycle, d; T P Given the planning and deployment period of an oil and gas field company, reservoir, block, well area, or well group, d. The future daily fracturing fluid flowback volume for a given oil and gas field company, reservoir, block, well area, or well group can be obtained by superimposing the predicted future daily fracturing fluid flowback volumes of producing wells, drilling wells, completed wells, fractured wells, and planned wells, as shown in the following formula: R W The well opening rate is the actual fracturing fluid flowback volume prediction process, which needs to take into account the gas well production rate. The gas well production rate is usually in the range of 95% to 100%, and it is necessary to determine whether to use a constant well opening rate or a dynamic well opening rate based on the specific circumstances.
[0118]
[0119] The above process completes the prediction of fracturing fluid volume for a given oil and gas field company, reservoir, block, well area, or well group. During the calculation and fitting of the standard curve for the daily flowback fluid volume per unit fracturing section length in coal-rock gas wells, the data volume and number of samples in the gas well sample database exhibit a continuous increasing characteristic. The gas well production dynamic sample data shows data updates in three dimensions: First, the daily flowback fluid volume data of old wells in the sample database continuously increases over time, increasing the number of columns in the production dynamic data matrix, i.e., the maximum production time in the sample database continuously increases. Second, data from newly commissioned wells continuously enters the sample database, increasing the number of rows in the daily flowback fluid volume data matrix, i.e., the number of valid sample data corresponding to a given time continuously increases. Third, as the number of wells in the sample database increases, it is necessary to further subdivide dimensions based on tag attributes to more accurately predict the fracturing flowback fluid volume. As the number of wells already in production and the daily flowback volume continue to increase, it is necessary to set a given cycle to repeat the above process. When repeating, it is necessary to recalculate the standard curve data of the daily flowback volume per unit fracturing section length. By curve fitting and linear extrapolation, 6600 days of smooth and continuous standard curve data are obtained, and finally, prediction is made.
[0120] Predicting the flowback fluid volume for a given oil and gas field company, reservoir, block, well area, and well group based on a standard curve of the daily flowback fluid volume per unit fracturing section requires iterative rolling fitting of the standard curve for flowback fluid volume prediction. To achieve real-time rolling prediction of future fracturing flowback fluid volume, the database needs to be updated daily to re-obtain and predict the standard curve. As the number of producing wells in a given oil and gas field company, reservoir, block, well area, and well group continues to increase, this method requires a data system to achieve automatic data updates and iterative calculations. This method constructs a fracturing flowback fluid volume prediction system workflow. The data-driven method and system for predicting fracturing flowback fluid in coal and rock gas reservoirs can provide a basis for fracturing fluid reuse and hydraulic fracturing implementation planning.
