Problems solved by technology

In view of the problem that the complex fractures caused by the current hydraulic fracturing fracture end plugging technology mainly exist in the mid-well or near-wellbore fracture zone, through the fracture height control technology at the fracture end, proppant type and particle size optimization, proppant injection timing and injection procedure Optimization and other comprehensive optimization technologies to improve the effectiveness of hydraulic fracture end plugging, so that the fractures can be effectively diverted and extended to the far well zone after temporary plugging, and the complexity and stimulation volume within the full length of the main fractures are increased to solve the problem of current technical problems. to maximize the effect of reservoir stimulation

Embodiment

[0088] In Well A, the lithology of the target interval is feldspar sandstone, with well-developed natural fractures. The fracturing section of the target layer is 3537.2-4142.0m, the average Young's modulus of the reservoir is 33.4GPa, and the average Poisson's ratio is 0.24; the temperature of the target layer is 132°C. In order to understand the oiliness and productivity of the target layer, and to carry out the next step of exploration and evaluation work in this block, the fracturing scheme design and field pilot test of this well were carried out by referring to the process method proposed in this patent and combining with the actual situation of this well. , the specific implementation method and effect are as follows:

[0089] (1) Evaluation of reservoir parameters: According to seismic, geological, logging and core test data, the lithology of the target interval is feldspar sandstone, with clay mineral content of 12.6-38.7%, with an average of 25.3%; siliceous mineral ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for realizing effective sealing of the end part of a hydraulic crack. The method includes the steps that mixed-particle-size ultra-low-density proppant and soluble fiber are mixed and injected into the end part of the crack; the apparent density of the proppant is 1.05-1.25g / cm<3>; the mixed-particle-size proppant of 140-230 meshes and 70-140 meshes is used; the fiber length is 1-2 cm; and the mass ratio of the fiber to the proppant is (1 to 10) to (1 to 20). The length of the paving front edge of the proppant is equal to that of the crack generation, and the length of the proppant is 10-15m from the crack end to the near-well direction, the crack generation width is greater than or equal to the support width, and the error of the support crack width and the crack generation length on the corresponding length is within 10%. The method improves the effectiveness of the sealing of the end part of the hydraulic crack so that the crack after temporarily sealed can be effectively turned and extended to the far-well region, the complexity and the reformed volume and the complexity within the full length of a main crack are improved to solve the limitationof the current technology, and the reservoir yield-increasing effect is maximized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petroleum drilling, and more specifically, relates to a method for realizing effective plugging of the ends of hydraulic fractures. The invention can be used in tight sandstone, shale and other oil and gas reservoirs, not only for vertical wells, but also for hydraulic fracturing of horizontal wells. Background technique [0002] At present, whether it is deep shale gas, normal pressure shale gas, or tight sandstone oil and gas reservoirs, it is necessary to effectively seal the fracture ends in hydraulic fracturing, so as to greatly increase the net pressure in the fractures and promote the development of branch fractures. cracking and elongation. Of course, to achieve effective plugging of fracture ends, an important prerequisite is the effective control of fracture height, especially in tight sandstone or massive carbonate rock reservoirs, the control of fracture height is more important. However, in...
