Method for fracturing hot dry rock and method for extracting heat from hot dry rock

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims the benefit of Chinese patent application 202311783515.9, filed on December 22, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present invention relates to the technical field of fracturing hot dry rocks, and in particular to a method for fracturing hot dry rocks and a method for extracting heat from hot dry rocks. Background Art

[0004] Hot dry rock generally refers to a high-temperature rock mass with no or only a small amount of fluid inside. It has the characteristics of large resources, zero emissions, and high utilization rate. It can be widely used in power generation, heating, etc., and is a renewable clean energy that is the focus of research and development in countries around the world.

[0005] Currently, hot dry rock geothermal resources are mostly developed through EGS systems. This involves using fracturing fluid to create a network of interconnected fractures between two or more wells. Fluid is then injected to bring underground heat to the surface, enabling geothermal energy extraction. While this technology is the mainstream development direction for hot dry rock development, it is difficult to achieve precise stimulation due to the fact that hot dry rock wells are typically completed with open holes or screens. Furthermore, there are issues such as limited stimulation section length, difficulty connecting injection and production wells, significant fluid loss, and significant technical risks.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for better heat extraction methods to extract heat from hot dry rocks. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of difficult connection of hot dry rock injection and production wells, small transformation volume and low heat extraction efficiency in the prior art, and to provide a method for fracturing hot dry rock and a method for extracting heat from hot dry rock.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention provides a method for fracturing hot dry rock, which comprises the following steps:

[0009] (1) selecting a casing completion section in a hot dry rock well, and dividing the casing completion section into n sections to be processed;

[0010] (2) filling the oil tubing of the casing completion section with a first displacement of fracturing fluid, and optionally adding soluble balls along with the fracturing fluid;

[0011] (3) selecting a fracture-developed layer section in the section to be treated and performing sandblasting and perforation to obtain a target layer section;

[0012] (4) fracturing the target layer using supercritical carbon dioxide to obtain a fracturing section;

[0013] (5) Repeat steps (2) to (4) to complete fracturing of all sections to be treated;

[0014] Wherein, said n is selected from 8-12.

[0015] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for extracting heat from hot dry rocks, wherein the method includes fracturing and heat exchange, wherein the fracturing method is the method described in the first aspect.

[0016] Through the above-mentioned technical solution, the present invention provides a method for fracturing hot dry rock and a method for heat extraction. The method for fracturing hot dry rock according to the present invention does not require the connection of injection and production wells, and improves heat exchange efficiency by forming complex fractures in the near-wellbore area. By segmenting the hot dry rock through the casing completion section, and simultaneously performing sandblasting and perforating and fracturing with supercritical carbon dioxide, the present invention can produce a more complex fracture network in the near-wellbore area at a lower fracture initiation pressure. This method has the advantages of low heat storage engineering difficulty and low technical risk. Unlike traditional EGS single-well heat extraction technology, it can achieve "pumpless" and efficient single-well geothermal extraction technology. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The endpoints of the ranges and any values ​​disclosed herein are not limited to the precise ranges or values, and these ranges or values ​​should be understood to include values ​​close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, the endpoints of each range, the endpoints of each range and individual point values, and the individual point values ​​can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered to be specifically disclosed herein.

[0018] A first aspect of the present invention provides a method for fracturing hot dry rock, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

[0019] (1) selecting a casing completion section in a hot dry rock well, and dividing the casing completion section into n sections to be processed;

[0020] (2) filling the oil tubing of the casing completion section with a first displacement of fracturing fluid, and optionally adding soluble balls along with the fracturing fluid;

[0021] (3) selecting a fracture-developed layer section in the section to be treated and performing sandblasting and perforation to obtain a target layer section;

[0022] (4) fracturing the target layer using supercritical carbon dioxide to obtain a fracturing section;

[0023] (5) Repeat steps (2) to (4) to complete fracturing of all sections to be treated;

[0024] Wherein, said n is selected from 8-12.

[0025] In the present invention, the method of fracturing hot dry rock does not require the operation of connecting injection and production wells, and improves the heat exchange efficiency by forming complex fractures in the near-wellbore area. The present invention performs segmented processing on the casing completion section in the hot dry rock production well, and simultaneously performs sandblasting and perforation and uses supercritical carbon dioxide to perform fracturing construction on the target layer section, which can achieve a lower fracturing pressure and produce a more complex fracture network in the near-wellbore area. It has the advantages of large single-well transformation volume, low difficulty of heat storage engineering, and low technical risk. Unlike the traditional EGS single-well heat extraction technology, it can realize "pump-free" efficient single-well geothermal extraction technology. In the present invention, supercritical carbon dioxide has the characteristics of strong solubility and strong penetration, and can easily enter the microscopic pores of the rock to interact with the rock, produce a complex fracture network, and does not harm the reservoir.

[0026] In the present invention, formal fracturing construction is carried out according to the designed fracturing fluid volume and displacement, the lateral fractures in the near-wellbore area are expanded, and the precise segment transformation of the fracture development layer in the vertical direction is achieved at the same time. The entire vertical long screen pipe section is transformed by hydraulic injection of supercritical carbon dioxide, which can achieve a higher single-well transformation volume.

[0027] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (1), the casing completion section in the hot dry rock well is selected as the target layer section for transformation, and the target layer section for transformation is divided into n sections to be treated from bottom to top according to the distribution of the fracture development layer.

[0028] In the present invention, the types of underground rock formations in the target layer segment for transformation include not only fracture-developed layers but also layers with no or few fractures. The fracture-developed layers in the target layer segment for transformation are scattered in the vertical direction. According to the distribution of the fracture-developed layers, the target layer segment for transformation is divided from bottom to top into n sections to be processed, namely the first section to be processed, the second section to be processed, the third section to be processed, and so on until the nth section to be processed. After the division, each section to be processed contains a fracture-developed layer segment. Preferably, the cumulative total length of the fracture-developed layer segments in each section to be processed is equal.

[0029] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (1), the fracture development layer includes a Class I fracture layer and / or a Class II fracture layer; a porosity φ ≥ 10% is a Class I fracture, and a porosity φ 5% ≤ 10% is a Class II fracture; the cumulative total length of the Class I fracture layer and the Class II fracture development section is 400-500m.

[0030] Porosity φ is the ratio of the rock's pore space volume to the rock's volume, reflecting the formation's physical properties. Fractures with a porosity φ below 5% require higher initiation pressures, making fracturing more difficult. Based on the distribution of fracture-developing layers, the present invention divides the target layer into n treatment sections from bottom to top. Sandblasting and perforating the Class I and / or Class II fracture layers within each treatment section facilitates the full transformation of both Class I and Class II fracture layers, resulting in better fracture formation and the formation of complex fractures, which improves heat exchange efficiency.

[0031] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (1), n ​​is an integer between 8 and 12, and can be 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12.

[0032] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the depth of the well section of the heat production well of the present invention is 2500-3500m, and the length of the target layer section selected for transformation is 800-1000m. The present invention selects the length of the target layer section for transformation to be 800-1000m, which means: a well section with a length of 800-1000m is selected from the heat production well with a well section depth of 2500-3500m as the target layer section for transformation. Among them, the selection of the target layer section for transformation is common knowledge in the field, and the present invention will not elaborate on it. The casing specification of the target layer section for transformation is P110, the casing diameter can be 177.8mm, and the wall thickness is 11.51mm. Casings with sizes within the above range can further achieve a higher single-well transformation volume, thereby contributing to the realization of efficient single-well geothermal extraction.

[0033] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the tubing used in the target reservoir section for reconstruction is P105, with a diameter of 88.9 mm and a wall thickness of 9.53 mm. Tubing within this range can further increase the volume of a single well reconstruction, contributing to efficient single-well geothermal recovery.

[0034] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (2), the first displacement is 0.3-0.5m 3 / min. Among them, 0.3-0.5m 3 Injecting fracturing fluid at a low rate of 1 / min not only prevents formation fractures but also displaces clean water. Furthermore, the spray gun used in the sandblasting perforation described herein is a sliding sleeve-type spray gun. After the soluble balls are added with the fracturing fluid, they are transported by the fracturing fluid to a fixed position, allowing the sliding sleeve to be opened for sandblasting perforation. The low-rate ball seating provides a more pronounced pressure display when opening the sliding sleeve, resulting in better results.

[0035] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (2), soluble balls are optionally added with the fracturing fluid, which means that: the casing completion section is divided into n sections to be treated, and soluble balls do not need to be added to the first section to be treated. Soluble balls are added with the fracturing fluid starting from the second section to be treated, and soluble balls are required to be added to the second to nth sections to be treated. The soluble balls are BH-MSP magnesium-aluminum alloy soluble balls produced by Bohai Drilling Engineering Institute.

[0036] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (2), the first section of the oil pipe to be treated is filled with fracturing fluid at a first displacement; alternatively, the first section of the oil pipe to be treated is filled with fracturing fluid containing soluble balls at a first displacement. In the present invention, the first section of the oil pipe to be treated is subjected to sandblasting and perforation treatment. When the sleeve of the sliding sleeve spray gun is exposed, it is not necessary to add soluble balls to the fracturing fluid.

[0037] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the fracturing fluid is a water-based fracturing fluid with a viscosity of 10-20 mPa·s at room temperature. The room temperature in the present invention has a well-known meaning and is not particularly limited in the present invention, for example, 10-35°C.

[0038] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (3), the sandblasting and perforating process includes: injecting fracturing fluid at a second displacement and hydraulically spraying quartz sand, and after completion, adding displacement fluid into the oil pipe to discharge the quartz sand in the oil pipe to the ground.

[0039] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (3), the second displacement is 2-4m 3 The second displacement is within this range, ensuring that the sleeve is sprayed open and the spray pressure is within a safe range.

[0040] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (3), the displacement fluid is added at a rate of 2-4 m 3 / min.

[0041] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (3), the volume concentration of quartz sand is 5-6%, that is, the volume of quartz sand accounts for the percentage of the volume of the fracturing fluid, and the amount of quartz sand added is 2-4m 3 .

[0042] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (3), the sandblasting and perforating process includes: injecting a fracturing fluid containing quartz sand into the oil pipe of the first section to be treated at a second displacement, and hydraulically spraying the quartz sand. After the hydraulic spraying of the quartz sand is completed, a displacement fluid is added to the oil pipe of the first section to be treated to discharge the quartz sand in the oil pipe of the first section to be treated to the ground. In the present invention, the volume concentration of quartz sand in the fracturing fluid containing quartz sand is 5-6%. The total amount of quartz sand sprayed into the oil pipe of the first section to be treated is 2-4m 3 .

[0043] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (3), the fracture development layer section is a Class I or Class II fracture layer; wherein, a porosity φ ≥ 10% is a Class I fracture, a porosity φ ≤ 5% < 10% is a Class II fracture, and the cumulative total length of the Class I and Class II fracture development sections is 400-500m.

[0044] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (4), the fracturing process includes: injecting liquid carbon dioxide into the oil pipe for fracturing, and replenishing liquid carbon dioxide through the casing refill channel in the casing. Specifically, after the sandblasting and perforating is completed, the casing spray release gate is closed, liquid carbon dioxide is injected into the oil pipe for fracturing, and the casing refill channel gate is opened to replenish liquid carbon dioxide through the casing refill channel.

[0045] In the present invention, after the injected carbon dioxide reaches the well, under the action of the temperature and pressure at the bottom of the well, the temperature of the liquid carbon dioxide is greater than 31.3° C. and the pressure is greater than 7.38 MPa, thereby converting it into supercritical carbon dioxide.

[0046] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (4), the displacement of liquid carbon dioxide injected into the oil pipe is 2-4m 3 / min.

[0047] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (4), the displacement of the added liquid carbon dioxide is 0.8-1m 3 / min.

[0048] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (4), the total amount of liquid carbon dioxide injected into each section to be treated is 500-600m 3 , which includes the amount of liquid carbon dioxide injected into the oil pipe and the amount of additional liquid carbon dioxide.

[0049] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, in step (4), the temperature of the supercritical carbon dioxide is greater than 31.3° C., and the pressure is greater than 7.38 MPa.

[0050] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for extracting heat from hot dry rocks, which includes fracturing and heat exchange, wherein the fracturing method is the method described in the first aspect.
