盐间页岩油多岩性交互储层破裂及裂缝扩展机理研究

Study on Mechanisms of Breakdown and Fracture Propagation in Multi-Lithology Interactive Reservoirs of Inter-Salt Shale Oil

  • 摘要: 针对江汉盆地潜江凹陷盐间页岩油多岩性交互储层非均质性强、层理复杂、裂缝扩展机理不清及压裂改造难度大的问题,以该区典型多岩性交互储层为研究对象,依托真三轴水力压裂物理模拟试验,根据注入排量、地应力、能量三大相似准则,系统研究了岩性组合、弹性模量、界面强度、压裂液类型、注入排量与压裂液黏度对裂缝起裂及扩展的控制机制,结合灰色关联法,明确了主控因素权重,并开展了现场试验验证。结果表明:盐间页岩油储层相较于常规页岩储层新增盐岩溶蚀扩展机制,共形成6类裂缝扩展模式;裂缝易由高弹性模量层向低弹性模量层贯穿,低强度岩性界面易诱导裂缝转向耗能;超临界CO2与醇基压裂液可有效抑制盐岩溶蚀、降低破裂压力;低排量、低黏度有利于形成复杂缝网;高排量、高黏度可促进裂缝穿层延伸;各因素的影响程度从大到小依次为压裂液与岩石相互作用、弹性模量、注入排量、界面强度和压裂液黏度。现场采用“前置CO2+多簇密切割高强度压裂+阶梯提排量+高黏稳压力+闷井渗吸”压裂模式,可有效规避井筒结盐风险、扩大缝控改造体积,试验井增产效果显著。研究成果可为盐间页岩油多岩性交互储层高效压裂开发提供理论支撑与工艺参考。

     

    Abstract: In view of the problems of strong heterogeneity, complex bedding, unclear fracture propagation mechanisms, and great difficulty in fracturing stimulation in multi-lithology interactive reservoirs of inter-salt shale oil in the Qianjiang Sag of the Jianghan Basin, typical multi-lithology interactive reservoirs in this area were taken as the research objects. Relying on physical simulation experiments of true triaxial hydraulic fracturing and following the three similarity criteria of injection rate, in-situ stress, and energy, a systematic study was conducted on the control mechanisms of lithologic combination, elastic modulus, interface strength, fracturing fluid type, injection rate, and viscosity on fracture initiation and propagation. Combined with the gray correlation analysis, the weights of the main controlling factors were clarified, and field tests were carried out for verification. The results indicate that compared with conventional shale reservoirs, inter-salt shale oil reservoirs feature an additional salt-rock corrosion propagation mechanism, forming a total of six types of fracture propagation modes. Fractures easily penetrate from layers with high elastic modulus to layers with low elastic modulus, and low-strength lithologic interfaces easily induce fractures to turn and consume energy. Supercritical CO2 and alcohol-based fracturing fluids can effectively inhibit salt-rock corrosion and reduce breakdown pressure; a small injection rate and low viscosity are conducive to forming complex fracture networks, while a large injection rate and high viscosity can promote fractures to penetrate and extend across layers. The influence weights of various factors are in the order of fracturing fluid and rock interaction > elastic modulus > injection rate > interface strength > fracturing fluid viscosity. The field application of the fracturing mode of “CO2 pre-pad + multi-cluster closely spaced high-intensity fracturing + step-up injection rate + high viscosity for stable pressure + shut-in imbibition” can effectively avoid the risk of wellbore salt crystallization and expand the stimulated reservoir volume controlled by fractures, yielding a significant production increase in the test well. The research results provide theoretical support and process references for the efficient fracturing development of multi-lithology interactive reservoirs of inter-salt shale oil.
