Problems solved by technology

Especially for shale gas horizontal wells with small initial fracturing scale, low proppant concentration, poor proppant distribution, unreasonable fracturing material selection and fracturing design, it is difficult to obtain industrial gas flow, and a large amount of shale gas will still be lost. Occurs in the reservoir and cannot be effectively mined

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of unconventional oil and gas production increasing and transformation, and particularly relates to an optimization design method for hydraulic fracture parameters of repeated fracturing of shale gas horizontal wells. The optimization design method comprises the following steps that (a) a numerical model for predicting the productivity of repeated fracturing of the shale gas wells is established; (b) the established numerical model for capacity prediction is numerically solved and integrally coupled; (c) based on the established numerical model forpredicting the productivity of repeated fracturing , the production of the shale gas wells after repeated fracturing under the different hydraulic fracture parameters is simulated by considering two modes of repeated fracturing and re-perforating repeated fracturing of an original fracture system; and (d) a simulation result of the shale gas horizontal well production is evaluated and analyzed, the optimal hydraulic fracture parameters of the corresponding repeated fracturing mode are obtained. The optimization design method can consider the complex fracture morphology and flow behavior of a shale reservoir, simulate the hydraulic fracture parameters to influence the productivity of the shale gas wells under different repeated fracturing modes, and guide the optimization design of the hydraulic fracture parameters for repeated fracturing of the shale reservoir.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for optimal design of hydraulic fracture parameters for repeated fracturing of shale gas horizontal wells, and belongs to the technical field of unconventional oil and gas stimulation and transformation. Background technique [0002] Affected by reservoir physical properties and multi-scale seepage characteristics, the production of shale horizontal wells will drop sharply in the early stage of production. Especially for shale gas horizontal wells with small initial fracturing scale, low proppant concentration, poor proppant distribution, unreasonable fracturing material selection and fracturing design, it is difficult to obtain industrial gas flow, and a large amount of shale gas will still be lost. It is stored in the reservoir and cannot be effectively mined. [0003] Refracturing achieves the purpose of improving the conductivity of original fractures and increasing the volume of reservoir stimulation by re-perfor...
