Problems solved by technology

[0017] In order to solve the problems in the prior art such as the narrow width of fractures formed by fracturing of deep shale and complex structure shale, the difficulty of adding sand, the high risk of sand plugging in construction with high sand liquid ratio, and the difficulty in guaranteeing the scale of proppant, the present invention provides a The shale gas fracturing sanding method is a single sanding stage small particle size proppant followed by the main proppant and a long slug sanding method with a low sand liquid ratio. The combination of technologies such as continuous sand addition to slugs with a long liquid ratio, follow-up injection of mixed powder pottery in the main proppant stage, and staged increase in displacement of spacer fluid can improve the uniformity of reconstruction and sand addition in multi-cluster perforations in the section, and realize The uniform reconstruction of multi-cluster fractures and the effective increase of proppant dosage scale can improve the filling degree of proppant in fractures with small fracture width and improve the conductivity of fracture system

[0093]Well DJ-1 is a deep marine shale gas horizontal well. The target layer of the well is the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation-Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation, with a vertical depth of 3910m in the middle of the target layer. The horizontal section of the well passes through the target layer with an average silica content of 54.5%, an average calcium content of 9.5%, and a brittleness index of 62%-65%; Young's modulus is 46GPa, Poisson's ratio is 0.21; the maximum horizontal principal stress is 96~118MPa, the minimum The horizontal principal stress is 75-93MPa, the absolute value of the two-dimensional horizontal stress difference is 8-24MPa, and the difference between the vertical stress and the minimum horizontal principal stress is 1.7-16.4MPa; imaging logging shows that the target layer is well developed. In general, the well’s target layer is buried deep, the rock strength is high, and the rock mechanical properties are different. It is difficult to predict rock cracking a...

[0105]Well DY5 is a deep marine shale gas horizontal well. The target layer of the well is the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation-Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation, with a vertical depth of 3701m in the middle of the target layer. The horizontal section of the well passes through the target layer with an average quartz content of 52.8%, an average carbonate content of 6.8%, an average shale content of 22.1%, an average Poisson's ratio of 0.22, a Young's modulus of 36.6 GPa, a brittleness index of 65%, and the difference in horizontal ground stress between the two directions.

Abstract

The invention discloses a shale gas fracturing and sand adding method. The shale gas fracturing and sand adding method comprises the steps of (1) optimizing crack parameters and fracturing construction parameters; (2) optimizing cluster perforation parameters; (3) acid pretreatment; (4) variable-viscosity and variable-displacement prepad fluid fracture forming; (5) small-particle-size proppant slug type sand adding; (6) adding sand into a 40-70 mesh proppant low-sand-liquid-ratio long-section plug at a first section for fracturing; (7) mixing powder ceramic with a 40-70 mesh proppant in a following manner, adding sand and fracturing; (8) fracturing and filling the proppant with high sand-liquid ratio and large particle size; and (9) conducting large-flow-rate displacement under wellhead pressure limiting. According to the shale gas fracturing and sand adding method, the uniform transformation degree and the sand adding amount of multi-cluster perforation in the section can be increased, uniform transformation of multi-cluster cracks in the section and effective increase of the dosage scale of the proppant are achieved, so that the filling degree of the proppant in small-crack wide-scale cracks is improved, and the flow conductivity of a crack system is improved. And the method is particularly suitable for sand fracturing transformation of deep and complex-structure shale and stratified-fracture-development shale gas reservoirs.

Description

Technical field[0001]The present invention relates to the technical field of shale gas reservoir reconstruction, and more specifically, to a method for adding sand by shale gas pressure fracturing.Background technique[0002]With the deepening of domestic shale gas exploration and development, the geological conditions of shale gas are becoming more and more complicated, and at the same time, it brings more problems to hydraulic sanding and fracturing technology. Generally, shale gas fracturing will use a certain amount of glue or slippery water as the pre-fracturing fluid to make fractures before the formal sanding. After the fractures reach the designed size, the fracturing fluid will continue to carry different particles. The proppant with a smaller diameter enters the fracture, so that the proppant fills and supports the fracture, thereby forming an effective flow channel for shale gas production.[0003]The sand fracturing construction with proppant carried by the fracturing fluid ...
