Abstract

The invention discloses a method for increasing the recovery rate of shale gas. According to the method for increasing the recovery rate of the shale gas, a high-pressure water flow carried with a proppant is injected into shale for hydraulic fracturing, the shale gas is collected, then the shale is subjected to microwave irradiation through a microwave generator, the shale gas in the shale is exploited for the second time through microwaves and collected, and thus the recovery rate of the shale gas is increased. According to the method for increasing the recovery rate of the shale gas, in theprocess of exploiting the shale gas for the first time through hydraulic fracturing, a natural metal ore is utilized as the crack proppant; and the metal ore has the high microwave absorption capacity, in the process of exploiting the shale gas for the second time through microwave irradiation, the temperature of the shale containing the gas is quickly increased, meanwhile, the total amount of oxygen-containing functional groups in shale organic matters is decreased, pores in the shale are promoted to be fully exposed, after inorganic minerals in the metal ore and the shale absorb the microwaves, thermal stress is formed, then the shale is induced to be damaged, and the recovery rate of the shale gas is significantly increased. The invention provides a clean and efficient shale gas exploiting method, and further provides a utilization way of the microwaves and the metal ore.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for enhancing the recovery rate of shale gas, and belongs to the emerging technical field of unconventional natural gas exploitation. Background technique [0002] Traditional fossil energy such as coal and oil are important strategic resources for maintaining social and economic development. With the large-scale use of coal and oil, environmental pollution and climate change occur frequently, which pose a serious threat to the balance of the earth's ecosystem and the sustainable development of human society. Therefore, in order to alleviate and ultimately solve the problems of ecological environment deterioration and global warming, it is urgent to promote the use of clean energy on a global scale. [0003] As the most common and abundant clean energy, natural gas (mainly composed of methane) is expected to occupy a dominant position in the primary energy consumption structure. Natural gas includes conventional natu...
