Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of complex oil and gas reservoir stimulation technology, specifically to a supercritical carbon dioxide cascade-enhanced jet fracturing device. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of oil and gas resources, traditional hydraulic fracturing technology can no longer meet the increasingly complex development needs of oil and gas reservoirs. Especially in the development of low-permeability and ultra-low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs, improving fracturing efficiency and effectiveness has become an urgent problem to be solved. Supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO), as a novel fracturing fluid, is widely used in fracturing operations due to its unique physicochemical properties, such as low viscosity, high density, and good proppant carrying capacity. However, in practical applications, due to the long transport distance from surface storage equipment to the target underground reservoir, the kinetic energy of the SCCO fluid gradually decreases during transport, leading to a weakened proppant carrying capacity. Consequently, the energy transferred to the formation and the amount of proppant transported into the fractures also decrease, ultimately affecting the fracturing effect.
[0003] In existing supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing technologies, increasing pump pressure is typically used to improve fracturing efficiency. However, this method often leads to increased energy consumption, and the pressure and velocity attenuation issues during long-distance transport remain unresolved. Furthermore, due to insufficient proppant carrying capacity, proppant tends to accumulate in the wellbore and near-wellbore zone, resulting in poor fracturing performance and potentially triggering downhole accidents.

[0034] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows:
[0035] First, the supercritical carbon dioxide stepped booster jet fracturing device of this invention is installed at the bottom of the fracturing pipeline. The supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing fluid enters from the top through the pipeline and accumulates and becomes pressurized after being blocked by the first-stage booster baffle 3. When the pressure exceeds the first-stage strong magnet 1, the first-stage magnetic chuck block 2 is lowered by hydraulic pressure. As the pressure increases, the first-stage magnetic chuck block 2 compresses the first-stage spring 4, and the first-stage magnetic chuck block 2 and the first-stage booster baffle 3 form a fluid channel. The supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing fluid that is pressurized at the top quickly enters the first-stage booster chamber 5. Then, the pressure in the first-stage booster chamber 5 is the same as the external pressure, and the first-stage magnetic chuck block 2 returns to its original position under the combined force of the first-stage strong magnet 1 and the first-stage spring 4. The above steps are then repeated until the pressure in the first-stage booster chamber 5 breaks through the resistance of the second-stage strong magnet 6 and the second-stage spring 9.
[0036] Subsequently, after the high-pressure supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing fluid in the primary pressurization chamber 5 enters the secondary pressurization chamber 10, as the fluid pressure increases, both the primary pressurization chamber 5 and the secondary pressurization chamber 10 are simultaneously filled with high-pressure supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing fluid. At this time, high-pressure supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing fluid continues to flow into the primary pressurization chamber 5, and the secondary magnetic chuck 7 closes under the action of the secondary strong magnet 6 and the secondary spring 9. The secondary pressurization baffle 8 begins to descend under the high pressure of the primary pressurization chamber 5, and the secondary magnetic chuck 7 closes more tightly, increasing the pressure in the secondary pressurization chamber 10. As the pressure in the primary pressurization chamber 5 increases, the secondary pressurization baffle 8 descends to the compression limit of the tertiary spring 11, and the fluid pressure in the secondary pressurization chamber 10 breaks through the resistance limit of the tertiary strong magnet 12 and the quaternary spring 15, and is rapidly ejected from the flow channel formed by the tertiary pressurization baffle 14.
[0037] Subsequently, the ejected high-pressure supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing fluid impacts the abrasive surface of the crescent-shaped guide plate 16. The abrasive surface can promote the rotational kinetic energy of the supporting sand, and the azimuth angle of the crescent-shaped guide plate 16 can also increase the flow of the high-pressure supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing fluid, forming a high-pressure, high-speed swirling supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing fluid before ejection.
[0038] Supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing fluid, accelerated by step-by-step pressurization, is ejected from the bottom, creating a high-pressure jet effect on the fracturing formation. This further enhances the proppant-carrying capacity of the supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing fluid, resulting in efficient proppant carrying and energy concentration.
