Abstract:

Currently, the problem of intra-well frac hit is serious in shale gas, which disturbs the production of nearby wells. Taking the Weiyuan national shale gas demonstration area as the research object, and according to the production characteristics of parent wells, quantitative evaluation index of intra-well frac hit influence based on the recovery rate of parent well production has been put forward. Then ten key geological and engineering parameters affecting intra-well frac hit influence have been analyzed by grey correlation method. The result shows that the grey correlations of intra-well distance, parent well producing time, average fluid volume of single cluster and natural fracture are higher. On this basis, the influence of intra-well position, parent well production time and average fluid volume to intra-well frac hit extent has been evaluated to obtain the following results. Firstly, the main intra-well position of frac hit is parallel, while the secondary is the position of opposite and malposition. Secondly, as the producing time of parent wells increase, the impact of frac hit significantly increases. The suggested optimal operation time of child wells is within 300 produce days of parent wells. Thirdly, as the average fluid volume of single cluster of child wells increases, the impact of frac hit increases too, so that it is suggested to optimize the liquid scale of single cluster according to the production time of parent wells and intra-well position. Lastly, the fluids volume, perforations and slurry rate should be strictly optimized in the section with cut-through natural fracture in order to reduce frac hit risk. Field tests show that the result can provide a reference to reduce the impact of intra-well frac hit of shale gas.
