Moving boundary analysis of fractured shale gas reservoir

  • 摘要: 页岩气储层中存在大量的纳微米孔隙,且孔隙裂缝结构复杂,气体渗流阻力大,存在多尺度渗流的问题;页岩气储层压力扰动随时间向外传播并非瞬时到达无穷远,其渗流规律就是一个压力扰动边缘动边界的问题。基于对以上问题的研究,本文建立了渗透率分形分布和高斯分布的渗透率表征模型,对不同形态缝网压裂特征就渗流规律进行了描述,并利用稳态依次替换法,考虑页岩储层中扩散、滑移及解吸作用,进一步研究了多级压裂水平井不稳定渗流压力扰动的传播模型,得到不同压裂条件下压力扰动边界随时间变化的关系,并结合我国南方海相龙马溪组页岩气藏储层参数,应用MATLAB编程。研究表明:压力传播动边界随时间增加逐渐向外扩展,渗透率越小,压力传播越慢;未压裂储层压力传播速度<渗透率分形分布压裂储层传播速度<渗透率高斯分布压裂储层传播速度。对于渗透率极低的页岩气储层,压力传播慢,气井自然产能低,必须对页岩气储层进行大规模的储层压裂改造,并控制压裂程度,以提高页岩气开发效果;基于压力传播动边界的扩展优化页岩储层压裂井段间距90 m,优化渗透率分形分布压裂井井间距318 m,渗透率高斯分布压裂井井间距252 m。因此应合理控制页岩储层压裂改造规模,实现优产高产。模型模拟结果与实际生产数据拟合较好,验证了本研究理论模型的适用性。

     

    Abstract: Shale gas reservoirs are extremely tight, their pores are mainly nano-micron size, and their gas flow resistance is greater than that of conventional gases. Thus, the flow with low-velocity non-Darcy seepage characteristics of diffusion, slippage, and desorption needs to be solved. Moreover, the fractured reservoir has a complicated structure of pores and fractures, which causes the problem of multi-scale flow. The pressure disturbance propagates over time and does not instantaneously reach infinity. Another problem is that the moving boundary pressure disturbance of unstable seepage propagates slowly with time. Based on the above issues, in this paper, the permeability model of fractal distribution and Gaussian distribution was obtained to describe the different fracturing characteristics. Using the method of successive replacements of steady states and considering desorption, diffusion, and slippage, the mathematical model of unstable flowing pressure disturbance in a multistage fractured horizontal well was established. The moving characteristics of the different fractured conditions were compared and analyzed. The research shows that the pressure moving boundary increases with time, and the lower the permeability, the slower the pressure boundary moves. In general, the shale gas reservoir pressure propagates slowly, the natural productivity of the gas well is low, and the velocity of the pressure moving boundary of the matrix reservoir is less than the fractal distribution of the fractured reservoir and less than the Gaussian distribution of the fractured reservoir. Thus, it is necessary to carry out the large-scale fracturing treatment and reasonable control of the fracturing degree to improve the permeability as well as the development effect. When the production time is 6000 days, based on the moving boundary of the fractured horizontal well, the horizontal section length was optimized to 90 m. The optimum well distance of the well with fractal distribution permeability was 318 m, while the well with Gaussian distribution permeability was 252 m. Thus, the fracture treatment scale should be reasonably controlled to achieve optimal production and high yield.
