Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fracturing fluid damage detection equipment, and more particularly to a fracturing fluid damage detection device for tight oil shale reservoirs. Background Art
[0002] Due to the advantages of wide distribution, good preservation, high oil content, and sufficient formation energy, the inter-salt shale oil reservoir is very likely to become a breakthrough point for large-scale industrial development of shale oil. At the same time, the presence of evaporite minerals (salt rock, gypsum, glauberite) also makes the physical and mechanical properties of the inter-salt shale oil reservoir different from those of conventional gas-bearing shale reservoirs, affecting the fracturing and stimulation effect of the reservoir. In order to obtain effective, economical, and successful fracturing effects in the inter-salt shale oil reservoir, fracturing design is often required before implementing hydraulic fracturing development. Fracturing simulation is used to predict the width, length, and direction of fracture development and evaluate the success of fracturing.
[0003] Currently, the simulation methods used mostly rely on commercial numerical simulation software, and the fracturing simulation effect needs to be verified. Indoor physical simulation of hydraulic fracturing is an important means to understand the fracture propagation mechanism and can monitor the actual physical processes of fracture initiation, propagation, and extension. During the hydraulic fracturing process, fractures extend simultaneously in three directions: length, height, and width. In the absence of a barrier layer, the fractures may extend infinitely up and down; if there is a barrier layer, and without sufficient strength and thickness, the fractures may also jump up and down and penetrate or even break through the barrier layer. Under isotropic formation and uniform in-situ stress conditions, the fracture height is relatively easy to predict. When hydraulic fracturing is carried out on thin interbeds of mud shale-salt rock, the rock mechanical properties and in-situ stress distributions between layers are different, and the formed fractures are relatively complex. At this time, the problem of fracture propagation at the interlayer interface must be solved. The mineral composition of the inter-salt shale oil reservoir varies greatly, and the research on the influence of rock components and reservoir saturated fluid states on hydraulic fractures is still blank. The traditional evaluation methods for the compressibility of gas-bearing shale reservoirs and hydraulic fracture characterization techniques are difficult to apply. When hydraulic fracturing is carried out on thin interbeds of mud shale-salt rock, the problem of fracture propagation at the interlayer interface must be solved.
[0004] Previous studies have achieved beneficial results in the establishment of hydraulic fracturing fracture propagation models and numerical simulation of hydraulic fractures. However, current research mostly assumes that the rock mass is homogeneous. Although a few studies have also carried out physical simulation of fracturing and fracture mechanism research on laminated shale, there are still obvious differences from the fracture propagation in thin interbed shale oil reservoirs. Further research and exploration are needed on issues such as the fracture mechanism of thin interbed rock masses (inter-salt shale oil reservoirs) and the true shape of fractures.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a device capable of simulating the detection of fracturing fluid damage in tight oil shale reservoirs. Summary of the Utility Model

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the present utility model. In addition, the forms of each structure described in the following embodiments are merely examples, and a fracturing fluid damage detection device for a tight oil shale reservoir involved in the present utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0022] The present utility model provides a fracturing fluid damage detection device for a tight oil shale reservoir, including a fixed base 1. The upper end of the fixed base 1 is fixedly connected with a detection shell 2. The surface of the detection shell 2 is fixedly connected with a plugging plate 3 through bolts. The plugging plate 3 and the surface of the detection shell 2 are provided with an installation groove 4. A pressure-resistant glass 5 is fixedly connected in the installation groove 4. A simulated oil shale layer 6 is arranged in the detection shell 2. The left end of the detection shell 2 is fixedly connected with a drilling sleeve 7. A fracturing mechanism is arranged in the drilling sleeve 7. During operation, by placing the simulated oil shale layer 6 in the detection shell 2, then closing the detection shell 2, and then under the guiding action of the drilling sleeve 7, holes can be easily drilled in the simulated oil shale layer 6. Then, the injection pipe 9 in the fracturing mechanism is inserted into the holes, and then pressure is injected into the simulated oil shale layer 6 through the injection pipe 9, so that the simulated oil shale layer 6 is fractured. At this time, the generated fracture can be observed through the pressure-resistant glass 5, thus achieving the effect of detecting the fracturing damage of the oil shale.
[0023] Furthermore, the upper end of the detection shell 2 is fixedly connected with a pressing plate 8 through bolts. Both the pressing plate 8 and the detection shell 2 are made of metal. During operation, since both the pressing plate 8 and the detection shell 2 are made of metal, their stability is relatively high, and they will not deform when the simulated oil shale layer 6 is fractured.
[0024] Furthermore, the fracturing mechanism includes an injection pipe 9 disposed within a punching sleeve 7. Injection holes 10 are formed on the circumferential surface of the injection pipe 9. During operation, under the action of the injection pipe 9, pressure can be injected into the simulated oil shale layer 6, thereby achieving the effect of fracturing the simulated oil shale layer 6.
[0025] Furthermore, the lower end of the fixed base 1 is fixedly connected to a mounting bracket 11, and the front end of the mounting bracket 11 is fixedly connected to a recording probe 12. During operation, through the recording probe 12 fixedly connected to the front end of the mounting bracket 11, the images generated by the fracturing of the simulated oil shale layer 6 can be recorded for subsequent analysis.
[0026] Furthermore, the lower end of the fixed base 1 is fixedly connected to a support column 13, and the lower end of the support column 13 is fixedly connected to a shock pad 14. During operation, through the shock pad 14 fixedly connected to the lower end of the support column 13, the effect of shock absorption for the equipment can be achieved, making the equipment highly stable during use.
[0027] Furthermore, the upper end of the fixed base 1 is fixedly connected to positioning blocks 15, and the detection shell 2 is located between the positioning blocks 15. During operation, under the action of the positioning blocks 15, the detection shell 2 can be positioned, facilitating the storage of the detection shell 2.
[0028] The working principle of the present utility model: Place the simulated oil shale layer 6 inside the detection shell 2, then close the detection shell 2. Then, under the action of the positioning blocks 15, the detection shell 2 can be positioned, facilitating the storage and fixation of the detection shell 2 on the fixed base 1. Subsequently, under the guiding action of the punching sleeve 7, holes can be easily drilled in the simulated oil shale layer 6. Then, insert the injection pipe 9 in the fracturing mechanism into the holes. Subsequently, inject pressure into the simulated oil shale layer 6 through the injection pipe 9, thereby causing the simulated oil shale layer 6 to undergo fracturing. At this time, the generated fracturing can be observed through the pressure-resistant glass 5, thus achieving the effect of detecting the fracturing damage of the oil shale. Since both the pressure plate 8 and the detection shell 2 are made of metal materials, their stability is relatively high. When the simulated oil shale layer 6 is subjected to fracturing, no deformation will occur. Through the recording probe 12 fixedly connected to the front end of the mounting bracket 11, the images generated by the fracturing of the simulated oil shale layer 6 can be recorded for subsequent analysis. Moreover, through the shock pad 14 fixedly connected to the lower end of the support column 13, the effect of shock absorption for the equipment can be achieved, making the equipment highly stable during use.
