[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202311620079.3 filed on November 30, 2023, and cites the contents disclosed in the above patent application as part of this application. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas reservoir production optimization, and in particular to a method and device for optimizing design parameters of multi-horizontal well fracturing based on a bridging fracture network. Background Art

[0004] Hydraulic fracturing plays a vital role in the development of unconventional oil and gas. In recent years, significant breakthroughs have been made in the exploration and development of deep coalbed methane. Horizontal well fracturing has become a crucial technology for coalbed methane, particularly deep coalbed methane development. Conventional fracturing, however, has two major issues: first, it targets only a single well and fails to consider the interactive effects of the fracturing network across multiple wells. Second, there are large unreformed areas within the well-control range of multiple wells. Third, under multi-well conditions, there is often a high incidence of repeated re-reforms between segments and between wells. Fourth, it is impossible to simultaneously optimize segment cluster deployment design parameters (segment length, perforation location, fracture half-length) and fracturing operation parameters (displacement rate, fluid volume, etc.). Therefore, large-scale fracturing is subject to issues of either over-reform (resulting in cost waste) or localized reformation blanks (resulting in unused resources), posing challenges to efficient development.

[0090] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments of the present application and their descriptions are used to explain the present application but are not intended to limit the present application. It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other in any manner.

[0091] In order to better understand this application, the research background of this application is first introduced in detail below.

[0092] Conventional multi-well fracturing presents two major challenges. Increasing the volume of repeated stimulation between stages and between wells has little impact on increasing CBM production, while reducing the volume of unstimulated areas can significantly increase CBM production. Therefore, to achieve optimal resource utilization, minimizing the unstimulated and repeated stimulation volumes can ensure maximum bridging of the multi-well fracture network. Therefore, a comprehensive approach can be adopted in setting fracturing design parameters. Specifically, based on microseismic data, a fracture propagation simulator can be used to simulate different fracture network morphologies based on different operation parameters (such as operation flow rate and operation fluid volume). By varying the location of the stage clusters, a non-uniform fracture distribution effect can be achieved across multiple wells. Then, an intelligent optimization algorithm can be used to comprehensively optimize the fracturing design parameters to achieve optimal fracture bridging.

[0093] To achieve the goal of optimally bridging the fracture network, well parameters and fracture parameters can be considered separately, with displacement (dis), fluid volume (vol), stage length (spacing of stages), clusters (perforations), and location (loc) being considered independent optimization variables. This ensures flexible adjustment of these parameters to meet diverse geological conditions and engineering requirements, maximizing oil and gas production efficiency while avoiding unnecessary resource waste. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the optimization variables for bridging the fracture network in fractured horizontal wells. Stage length refers to the length of each stage, cluster (perforation) location refers to the location of each fracture, and displacement and fluid volume are variables controlling the fracture network morphology.

[0094] In multi-horizontal well fracturing, in order to achieve the ultimate utilization of oil and gas resources while avoiding excessive inter-stage repeated stimulation, inter-well repeated stimulation areas, and unstimulated areas caused by uniform conceptual design, this application proposes a method with the goal of maximizing the degree of bridging of the fracture network of multiple fractured horizontal wells (or minimizing the unstimulated volume and the repeatedly stimulated volume), which is achieved by constructing an objective function for the degree of fracture network bridging. This objective function can reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of multi-horizontal well fracturing development, reduce the area of ​​unstimulated areas within the well control area, increase the oil (gas) leakage area of ​​the reservoir, and simultaneously reduce the inter-stage repeated stimulation and inter-well repeated stimulation areas to achieve the ultimate utilization of oil and gas resources. This method takes into account the changes in geological conditions, the irregularities of the fracture network, and the impact of the fracture network morphology of individual horizontal wells and between wells on the degree of bridging.

[0095] The basic idea of ​​the Monte Carlo gradient approximation (MCGA) algorithm is to first use the Monte Carlo method to generate several realizations of random variables around the current optimal variable, then calculate the performance indicator function value corresponding to each variable realization, and finally use each realization and its performance indicator function value to estimate the gradient of the performance indicator function (for example, the objective function of the degree of bridging in this application).

[0096] For oil and gas reservoir production optimization, let the optimal control variable obtained in the lth iteration be u l , and its corresponding performance index function is F(u l ,y). According to the principle of MCGA method, in u l Generate N around r The disturbance variable is expressed as: l,j =u l +γ×r j ,j=1,2,…,N r (1)

[0097] Where u l,j represents the jth control variable realization; γ is the disturbance constant; r j is the jth perturbation vector, where the component r i j (i=1,2,…,N u ) is generally a variable that conforms to the standard normal distribution, where N u Represents the total number of control variables, i.e. r i j ~N(0,1).

[0098] Each implementation u l,j Substituted into the oil and gas reservoir simulator and calculated, the corresponding performance index F(u l,j ,y), let bj F(u l,j ,y) and the current optimal performance index F(u l,j ,y), that is, b j =F(u l,j ,y)-F(u l ,y),j=1,2,…,N r (2)

[0099] Then the MCGA method is used to obtain the index function F(u l ,y) in u l Gradient estimate at The expression is:

[0100] Where, express The i-th component value. Analyze the nature of .

[0101] Consider F(u l,j ,y) in u l Perform a first-order Taylor expansion. Since the value of γ is usually small, we have F(u l,j ,y)=F(u l ,y)+γ(r j ) T g(u l ) (4)

[0102] In the formula, g(u l ) is F(u l ,y) in u l The true gradient at b. Substitute this formula into b j In, then b j becomes

[0103] Among them, g s (u l ) represents the sth component of the true gradient s=1,2…,N u Substitute the above formula into In the expression, there is

[0104] Taking the expected value on both sides of the above equation, we can get

[0105] Due to r j The components in are random variables that conform to the standard normal distribution, then they satisfy the following conditions:

[0106] According to the above formula, The expected value of becomes,

[0107] Obviously, The expected value of the true gradient is the i-th component, then the expected value of the gradient estimate based on the MCGA method is the true gradient Therefore, the gradient of the MCGA method can be used to iteratively optimize the performance index function, and its expression is:

[0108] Where u l+1 is the control variable after iterative optimization; express The infinite norm of ; α is the search step size. During the optimization process, the step size α is determined by a simple inexact line search method. If the performance index value of the current step does not strictly increase, α will be halved until the performance index value increases.

[0109] FIG2 is a flow chart of a method for optimizing design parameters of multi-horizontal well fracturing based on a bridged fracture network according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the method for optimizing design parameters of multi-horizontal well fracturing based on a bridged fracture network according to an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0110] S101, expanding the fracture network of a target reservoir based on given fracturing design parameters to obtain fracture point data of multiple fractured horizontal wells in the target reservoir;

[0111] In step S101, based on the coalbed methane fracture expansion method, the fracture network morphology expansion of given fracturing design parameters is realized; specifically, the coalbed methane fracture expansion simulation process is as follows:

[0112] Reservoir geological parameters, fracturing operation parameters, and other parameters are equivalently converted into electrical potential parameters. The mechanical problems in the crack expansion process are equivalently converted into electrical problems during lightning breakdown. This simulation approach is used to simulate crack propagation. A modified maximum circumferential tensile stress is used to determine crack initiation: cracks can initiate at locations where the circumferential tensile stress exceeds the critical stress for crack initiation (i.e., cracks can propagate in multiple directions). A fractal index is introduced to calculate the probability distribution of rupture at each node at the crack tip, and random numbers are used to determine the direction of crack propagation. The crack propagation mechanism is shown in Figure 3.

[0113] S102, determining the fracture morphology of each fractured horizontal well based on the fracture point data of each fractured horizontal well;

[0114] In step S102, a grid system can be used to characterize the fracture morphology. That is, the fracture point data in the gridless system can be characterized by a background grid. The grid background method determines the fracture distribution, as shown in Figure 4.

[0115] S103. Calculating the initial healing degree of the fracture network of multiple fractured horizontal wells in the target reservoir based on the fracture morphology of each fractured horizontal well, wherein the healing degree of the fracture network of multiple fractured horizontal wells is negatively correlated with the sum of the total un-stimulated volume and the total repeatedly stimulated volume of the multiple fractured horizontal wells;

[0116] In step S103, the degree of healing of a multi-fractured horizontal well is related to the fracture morphology of each fractured horizontal well. Specifically, the degree of healing is negatively correlated with the sum of the total unstimulated volume and the total repeatedly stimulated volume of the multi-fractured horizontal well, and positively correlated with the total effective stimulated volume. Therefore, the initial degree of healing of the fracture network of a multi-fractured horizontal well can be calculated based on the fracture morphology of each fractured horizontal well under given fracturing design parameters.

[0117] S104. Based on the initial bridging degree, a preset parameter optimization algorithm is used to optimize the fracturing design parameters with the goal of maximizing the bridging degree of the fracture network of the multiple fractured horizontal wells, thereby obtaining the fracturing design parameters of the multiple fractured horizontal wells at the maximum bridging degree.

[0118] In step S104, the preset parameter optimization algorithm is used to iteratively optimize the fracturing design parameters. Each time the fracturing design parameters are optimized, the degree of bridging of the multiple fractured horizontal well network under the fracturing design parameters is calculated, and the bridging degree is compared with the bridging degree of the multiple fractured horizontal well network under the fracturing design parameters of the previous iteration. If the bridging degree calculated this time is greater than the bridging degree calculated in the previous iteration, the preset parameter optimization algorithm is continued to be used to optimize the fracturing design parameters until the iteration termination condition is reached, and the fracturing design parameters of the multiple fractured horizontal wells under the maximum bridging degree and the maximum fitting degree are obtained.

[0119] The present application provides a method for optimizing fracturing design parameters of multiple horizontal wells based on bridged fracture networks, which obtains fracture point data of multiple fractured horizontal wells in the target reservoir by expanding the fracture network morphology of the target reservoir based on given fracturing design parameters; determines the fracture morphology of each fractured horizontal well based on the fracture point data of each fractured horizontal well; calculates the initial bridge degree of the fracture network of multiple fractured horizontal wells in the target reservoir based on the fracture morphology of each fractured horizontal well, wherein the bridge degree of the fracture network of multiple fractured horizontal wells is negatively correlated with the sum of the total unreformed volume and the total repeatedly reformed volume of the multiple fractured horizontal wells; based on the initial bridge degree, optimizes the fracturing design parameters using a preset parameter optimization algorithm with the goal of maximizing the bridge degree of the fracture network of multiple fractured horizontal wells, and obtains the fracturing design parameters of multiple fractured horizontal wells at the maximum bridge degree. In this way, the fracturing design parameters are optimized with the goal of maximizing the degree of bridging the fracture network of multiple fractured horizontal wells, that is, the fracturing design parameters are optimized with the goal of minimizing the total unreformed volume and the total repeated reformed volume of multiple fractured horizontal wells, thereby achieving full utilization of resources with optimal benefits.

[0120] In some embodiments, fracturing design parameters include operation parameters and segment cluster location parameters; wherein the operation parameters include operation displacement and / or operation fluid volume. Based on the optimized segment cluster location, segment length, segment spacing, and cluster spacing can be calculated to guide on-site fracturing operation.

[0121] As shown in FIG5 , in some embodiments, the fracture morphology of each fractured horizontal well includes the total well-controlled volume, the total effective stimulated volume, the total repeatedly stimulated volume, and / or the total unstimulated volume. Determining the fracture morphology of each fractured horizontal well based on the fracture point data of each fractured horizontal well includes:

[0122] S1021. Determine the effective producing range of each fractured horizontal well based on actual production dynamic simulation;

[0123] In step S1021, the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) is calculated, which greatly enhances the original formation permeability and has a decisive impact on the production of production wells. SRV can be calculated using microseismic imaging, secondary fracture monitoring technology, and mathematical models based on fracture propagation laws. However, the SRV calculated using the above methods differs significantly from the effective stimulated reservoir volume (ESRV) estimated through dynamic production curves or actual oil and gas field production. SRV is typically much larger than ESRV. Compared to SRV, ESRV is a more important determinant of the success of hydraulic fracturing and the prediction of fracturing-enhanced production effects. As shown in Figure 6, the effective stimulated reservoir volume (ESRV) is the volume of the effective range of reservoir fluid after pressure sweep during depressurization production, based on the morphology of each fracture segment. By establishing a matrix-fracture model, the effective pressure sweep range around the fracture during depressurization production is simulated, as shown in Figure 7. The effective stimulated reservoir volume (ESRV) can be calculated based on the fracture morphology. Specifically, the effective range of each fractured horizontal well can be obtained based on actual production dynamic simulation.

[0124] S1022. Determine the dynamic stimulation volume of a single fracture segment in each fractured horizontal well based on the effective producing range and fracture point data of each fractured horizontal well;

Specifically, in the background grid, 0 represents the unstimulated volume, 1 represents the volume controlled by natural fractures and artificial fractures, and 2 represents the volume repeatedly stimulated between sections and wells. The position information of the index marks is statistically incorporated into the calculation formulas for the total effective stimulated volume, total repeatedly stimulated volume, total well-controlled volume, and total unstimulated volume to calculate the aforementioned four volumes.

[0128] In some embodiments, according to the dynamic stimulation volume of a single fracture segment of each fractured horizontal well, calculating the total effective stimulation volume, the total repeated stimulation volume, the total well-controlled volume and / or the total unstimulated volume of each fractured horizontal well based on the background grid method includes:

[0129] Mark the index information of each fracture in each fractured horizontal well based on the background grid method;

[0135] According to the index information, the total unstimulated volume of each fractured horizontal well is obtained by combining the unstimulated grid cell volumes of each fractured horizontal well.

[0136] Specifically, based on the results of the fracture propagation simulation, the fracture point data of each fractured horizontal well is obtained, and then the effective utilization range of each fractured horizontal well is obtained based on the actual production dynamic simulation. Finally, the fracture distribution under the grid is determined by the grid background method to calculate the effective stimulation volume, repeated stimulation volume (the sum of the repeated stimulation volume between sections and the repeated stimulation volume between wells), well-controlled volume and unstimulated volume. The schematic diagram of each type of volume is shown in Figure 8. c It can be obtained by summing the well-controlled volumes of each fractured horizontal well:

[0137] Where V c is the total well-controlled volume; N is the number of well-controlled grids in the block; is the volume of the i-th unit grid; dx i is the grid step size in the x direction of the i-th unit grid; dy i is the grid step size in the y direction of the i-th unit grid; dz i is the grid step size in the z direction of the i-th unit grid.

[0138] The total unmodified volume V can be obtained by summing the control volumes with index information 0 in each unit grid. 0 :

[0139] Where V 0 is the total unmodified volume; N w is the number of fractured horizontal wells; N u | λ=0 (w i ) is w i The number of unstimulated grid cells in the fractured horizontal well; is the volume of the i-th unit grid; dx i is the grid step size in the x direction of the i-th unit grid; dy i is the grid step size in the y direction of the i-th unit grid; dz i is the grid step size in the z direction of the i-th unit grid.

[0140] Based on the fracture extension of each fractured horizontal well and the effective utilization range of the actual fracture, the effective control volume of each fractured horizontal well and the total effective control volume are calculated as follows:

[0141] Where, w i The control volume of the fractured horizontal well with index information of 1, that is, the effective control volume of a single well; V 1 is the control volume of all fractured horizontal wells with index information of 1, that is, the total effective control volume; uni(·) is a unique value function; N ut | λ=1 is the total number of (effective) transformed grid cells; N u | λ=1 (w i ) is w i The number of (effective) stimulation grid cells for fractured horizontal wells. N w is the number of fractured horizontal wells; dx i is the grid step size in the x direction of the i-th unit grid; dy i is the grid step size in the y direction of the i-th unit grid; dz iis the grid step size in the z direction of the i-th unit grid.

[0142] The total repeated stimulation volume can then be calculated based on the effective control volume of each fractured horizontal well:

[0143] Where V 2 is the total repeated transformation volume; N r | λ=2 The number of grid cells to be transformed repeatedly is the number of grid cells to be transformed repeatedly. However, when calculating the actual degree of bridging, the effective transformation volume of each fractured horizontal well can be obtained by intersection. Calculate the total repeated transformation volume V 2 .

[0144] In some embodiments, calculating the initial healing degree of a fracture network of multiple fractured horizontal wells in a target reservoir based on the fracture morphology of each fractured horizontal well includes:

[0145] Calculate the initial degree of bridging of the fracture network of multiple fractured horizontal wells in the target reservoir based on the ratio of the sum of the total re-stimulated volume and the total unstimulated volume of each fractured horizontal well to the total well-controlled volume; or

[0146] The initial degree of bridging of the fracture network of multiple fractured horizontal wells in the target reservoir is calculated based on the ratio of the total effective stimulation volume of each fractured horizontal well to the total well-controlled volume.

[0147] Specifically, the degree of fracture network bridging in multi-fractured horizontal wells can be defined as follows:

[0148] Where, M is the degree of seam network bridging, dimensionless; N u | λ=0 (w i ) is w i Total number of repeated stimulations between sections and wells in fractured horizontal wells; N ut | λ=1 is the total number of (effective) transformed grid cells; uni(·) is a unique value function; N rt | λ=2 is the total number of grid cells that are repeatedly transformed; N is the number of well-controlled grids in the block; the definitions of other parameters refer to the above.

[0149] It can be seen from this that the total well-controlled volume calculated by equation (11), the total unreformed volume calculated by equation (12), and the total re-reformed volume calculated by equation (15) can be substituted into equation (16), or the total well-controlled volume calculated by equation (11) and the total effective control volume calculated by equation (14) can be substituted into equation (16) to calculate the degree of fracture network bridging. Both methods can calculate the degree of bridging M under the current number of wells and fracture morphology.

[0150] In some embodiments, based on the initial bridging degree, a preset parameter optimization algorithm is used to optimize the fracturing design parameters with the goal of maximizing the bridging degree of the fracture network of multiple fractured horizontal wells. The fracturing design parameters of the multiple fractured horizontal wells at the maximum bridging degree include:

[0151] Optimize fracturing design parameters using preset parameter optimization algorithms;

[0152] The fracture network morphology is expanded again based on the optimized fracturing design parameters to obtain the fracture point data of each fracturing horizontal well;

[0153] Determine the fracture morphology of each fractured horizontal well based on the fracture point data of each fractured horizontal well;

[0154] Calculate the current degree of healing of the fracture network of multiple fractured horizontal wells in the target reservoir based on the fracture morphology of each fractured horizontal well;

[0155] If the current degree of bridging is greater than the initial degree of bridging, the preset parameter optimization algorithm is continued to be used to optimize the fracturing design parameters again based on the optimized fracturing design parameters;

[0156] The iteration is continued until the preset termination condition is reached, and the maximum bridging degree and the fracturing design parameters of multiple fractured horizontal wells under the maximum bridging degree are obtained.

[0157] Specifically, as shown in Figure 9, the process of optimizing fracturing design parameters using the preset parameter optimization algorithm is as follows:

[0158] Step 1: Input the initial displacement, fluid volume, and perforation positions of each fractured horizontal well.

[0159] Step 2: Based on the fracture propagation inversion simulator, the fracture morphology of each fractured horizontal well was obtained, and the effective production range was determined through actual production simulation. Next, the effective stimulation volume, repeated stimulation volume, and well control volume were calculated, and the initial bridging degree M0 was calculated using Equation (16).

[0160] Step 3: Use a preset parameter optimization algorithm (such as MCGA algorithm - mapping crossover genetic algorithm) to iteratively update the optimization variables.

[0161] Step 4: Call the crack extension simulator again to obtain the updated crack morphology, and calculate the new bridging degree M1 based on the effective mobilization range.

[0162] Step 5: If M1>M0, proceed to the next step; otherwise, proceed to step 3.

[0163] Step 6: When the termination condition is met, the optimal displacement, liquid volume, perforation positions, and optimal healing degree M* are output. Otherwise, the optimized fracture morphology is used as the initial fracture morphology, and the healing degree M1 is assigned to M0, and step 3 is executed.

[0164] In some embodiments, the preset termination conditions include: the degree of bridging obtained after X consecutive iterations no longer increases, where X is a positive integer; and / or a threshold number of iterations is reached.

[0165] For a better understanding of the present application, the multi-horizontal well fracturing design parameter optimization method based on bridging fracture networks provided by the present application is described below through a specific embodiment.

[0166] Taking two horizontal wells (JS8-8P01 and JS8-8P02) in a heterogeneous coalbed methane reservoir as an actual model, the fracture morphology obtained from the current fracturing scheme is used as the initial scheme. The MCGA algorithm is used to optimize the displacement, liquid volume and segment cluster position. The fracture morphology is simulated using an extended numerical simulator, and the effective utilization range and background grid method are combined to calculate the degree of bridging of multiple horizontal wells. In addition, the MCGA algorithm is used to iteratively update the displacement, liquid volume and segment cluster position to continuously find the optimal degree of bridging.

[0167] The permeability and porosity distributions of this coalbed methane reservoir are shown in Figures 10a and 10b. The maximum permeability is 0.1 mD, the minimum is 0.01 mD, and the average is 0.05 mD. The maximum porosity is 0.05, the minimum is 0.01, and the average is 0.036. The reservoir parameters and simulation information for this example are shown in Table 1.

[0168] Table 1 Reservoir parameters and simulation information in the conceptual example

[0169] With maximizing the degree of bridging in a multi-well fractured horizontal well as the optimization objective, the MCGA algorithm was used to perturb and iteratively update the flow rates, fluid volumes, and cluster locations, achieving integrated optimization of the optimization parameters and obtaining the fracture deployment plan with the optimal degree of bridging. Figures 11a and 11b compare the fracture network morphology before and after optimization of the flow rates, fluid volumes, and cluster locations. Figures 11a and 11b clearly show that the horizontal positions of the fractures change after optimization, and the fracture lengths generally increase. Figure 12 shows that the MCGA-based multi-well fracture network optimization converges rapidly, starting around step 15. The final degree of bridging is 0.5638, an increase of 40.95%. Figures 13, 14, and 15 respectively illustrate the changes in flow rates, fluid volumes, and cluster locations for each segment of two horizontal wells during the iterative process. Taking the optimization results for the first cluster of each segment as an example, once the fracture locations are determined, the segment lengths, segment spacing, and cluster spacing between clusters can be determined.
