模拟压窜影响页岩气可动性的实验研究

Experimental study on influence of simulated frac hits on shale gas mobility

  • 摘要: 为揭示压窜流体侵入基质后的微观运移过程及其对不同尺度孔隙内流体可动性的差异化影响机制,以川东南丁山海相深层页岩气藏主力产层岩心为研究对象,结合核磁共振技术,系统开展了无压窜、低压(10 MPa)压窜及高压(20 MPa)压窜条件下的衰竭式开采物理模拟实验,对比分析不同条件下的总采出程度及孔隙尺度动用特征。实验结果表明:无压窜条件下,10~100 nm孔隙是总产气量的主力贡献区间(贡献度40%~60%),100 nm~1 μm孔隙气体动用程度最高(80%~100%),但其低孔隙体积占比限制了对总产气量的贡献。持续增大生产压差对有效动用微纳米孔隙(1~100 nm)气体至关重要。压窜流体侵入显著损害气藏最终采收率(降幅4.1%~32.1%)。压窜发生时模拟井底流压越高(地层能量越充足),损害程度越严重(20 MPa压窜降幅是10 MPa压窜的3~4倍)且损害效应显现越早。采收率下降主要源于 < 1 μm孔隙系统内气体可动性受损,损害的主导孔隙区间受控于储层微观孔隙结构与孔喉连通性。首次在孔隙尺度上定量揭示压窜对页岩气动用能力的损害机理与程度,以期为现场精准评估压窜风险、优化加密井压裂时机与参数、制定差异化压窜防控措施及老井产能恢复方案提供依据。

     

    Abstract: This study aims to reveal the microscopic migration process of frac hit fluid after invading the matrix and its differential influencing mechanisms on fluid mobility in pores of different scales. Core samples from the main production layer of marine deep formation in Dingshan of southeastern Sichuan were taken as the research objects. Combined with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology, systematic physical simulation experiments of depletion exploration under conditions of no frac hit, low-pressure (10 MPa) frac hit, and high-pressure (20 MPa) frac hit were conducted to compare and analyze the overall recovery degree and pore-scale mobilization characteristics under different conditions. The results showed that under conditions of no frac hit, pores in the 10 to 100 nm range were the primary contributing range to the total gas production (contributing 40% to 60%), while pores in the 100 nm to 1 μm range had the highest gas mobilization efficiency (80% to 100%), but their low pore volume fraction limited their contribution to the total gas production. Continuously increasing the production pressure difference was crucial for effectively mobilizing gas in micro-nano pores (1 to 100 nm). Frac hit fluid invasion significantly damaged the ultimate recovery factor ofgas reservoirs (reduction of 4.1% to 32.1%). The higher the simulated bottom-hole flowing pressure (representing more abundant reservoir energy) when frac hit occurred, the more severe the damage (the reduction under 20 MPa frac hit was 3 to 4 times that of 10 MPa frac hit) and the earlier the damage effect appeared. The decline in recovery factor primarily stemmed from impaired gas mobility within the < 1 μm pore system, and the dominant damaged pore range was controlled by the reservoir's microscopic pore structure and pore-throat connectivity. This study, for the first time, quantitatively reveals the damage mechanisms and extent of damage caused by frac hits on shale gas mobilization capacity at the pore scale, aiming to provide a basis for accurately assessing frac hit risks in the field, optimizing the timing and parameters of infill well fracturing, formulating differentiated frac hit prevention and control measures, and developing recovery plans for the production capacity of old wells.
