摘要:

致密砂岩储层开采一段时间后产量下降,重复压裂改造是激活老裂缝、压开新裂缝并最终提高产量的一种可行措施。重复压裂不仅需要考虑排量、液量、砂量等施工参数,还要考虑是否采取原缝复压和加密补孔完井工艺。传统的基于微震监测结果的压裂施工效果评价方法主要是通过测量微震事件点云的几何分布来评价压裂造缝的尺寸和储层改造体积,该方法的缺点是无法定量评价不同施工参数条件下的裂缝复杂程度和不同完井工艺条件下的重复压裂新裂缝发育程度和范围。因此,提出一种利用微震事件构建的连续裂缝网络和视应力属性图评价重复压裂效果的方法,以微震事件的时空分布特征(包括时间顺序和空间分布),通过设定的几何连接准则(如最短路径原则)连接各事件点,从而形成水力裂缝网络。连续裂缝网络的分支指数属性用于定量分析水力裂缝网络复杂程度。视应力属性值通过微震事件能量、地震矩和剪切模量计算获得。视应力值较低代表重复压裂时老裂缝开启;视应力值较高代表重复压裂改造使储层产生大量新裂缝。这一规律可用于评价重复压裂新裂缝发育情况,将提出的方法应用于华庆油田1口致密砂岩油藏开发水平井压裂效果评价,结果表明:重复压裂在采用比首次压裂更高的排量和更大的液量(初次压裂排量≤3 m3/min,单段入地液量仅为200~350 m3;重复压裂排量介于6~8 m3/min,单段入地液量介于1 850~2 300 m3)时,致密砂岩油藏水平井采用原缝复压技术,相较于加密布缝,能够改造出更多的新裂缝和更复杂的水力裂缝网络。

Abstract:

For tight sandstone reservoirs experiencing production decline after a period of development, refracturing is a feasible solution to reactivate existing fractures, initiate new fractures, and ultimately enhance production. Refracturing requires consideration of not only operational parameters such as slurry rate, fluid volume, and sand volume, but also whether to adopt fracture reactivation along original fractures or infill perforation completion techniques. Traditional evaluation methods for fracturing operations based on microseismic monitoring results mainly assess fracture dimensions and stimulated reservoir volume by measuring the geometric distribution of microseismic event point clouds. However, these methods cannot quantitatively evaluate the complexity of fracture networks under different operational parameters and the development and extent of new fractures generated by refracturing under different completion techniques. Therefore, a method was proposed to evaluate refracturing effectiveness using continuous fracture networks and apparent stress attribute maps constructed from microseismic events. This method utilized the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of microseismic events (including temporal sequence and spatial distribution), and connected event points using defined geometric connection criteria (such as the shortest path principle) to build hydraulic fracture networks. The branch index attribute of the continuous fracture networks was used to quantitatively analyze the complexity of the hydraulic fracture networks. The apparent stress attribute values were calculated based on the energy, seismic moment, and shear modulus of the microseismic events. Lower apparent stress values indicated reactivation of existing fractures during refracturing, while higher values indicated that refracturing generated a large number of new fractures in the reservoir. This pattern could be used to evaluate the development of new fractures created by refracturing. The proposed method was applied to evaluate the refracturing effectiveness of a horizontal well in a tight sandstone reservoir in the Huaqing oilfield. The results showed that when refracturing was performed with higher slurry rates and larger fluid volumes than the initial frac (slurry rate ≤ 3 m3/min and fluid volume per stage ranging from 200~350 m3 for initial fracturing, while slurry rate ranging from 6~8 m3/min and fluid volume per stage ranging from 1 850~2 300 m3 for refracturing), the application of original fracture reactivation technology in horizontal wells of tight sandstone reservoirs enabled the formation of more new fractures and more complex hydraulic fracture networks compared to infill perforation.
