强非均质性储层CO2增能压裂裂缝扩展规律数值模拟

Numerical simulation of CO2-enhanced induced fracture propagation laws in highly heterogeneous reservoirs

  • 摘要: 针对水敏低渗且强非均质性油藏,传统补能开发与压裂改造存在注入介质波及效率低、裂缝扩展规律难以预测的难题,基于Rarefed-Leap-frog(R-L)耦合方法构建强非均质性三维精细油藏数值模型,引入渗透率级差、孔隙度变异系数等量化指标界定储层非均质程度。通过对比水力压裂、CO2增能压裂及N2压裂三种压裂方式的增产效果,并在考虑CO2溶解效应条件下,厘清储层地质力学参数对裂缝扩展的影响规律,明确CO2增能压裂机理。研究结果表明:CO2增能压裂对此类油藏适应性最优,可形成更复杂缝网,储层改造体积(SRV)最大;但CO2溶解效应以不利影响为主,CO2溶解形成的弱酸性流体加剧黏土膨胀,导致近井地带渗透率大幅下降,削弱增能效果。弹性模量越大越有利于裂缝延伸,但超过一定阈值后SRV增幅将趋于减缓;泊松比越大则SRV越小,裂缝形态趋于单一。针对研究区块的模拟显示,弹性模量≥18.75 GPa、泊松比≤0.22的区域裂缝更易扩展;当渗透率级差≥1.5且地应力变异系数≥0.25时,SRV下降超过20%。研究结果可为同类型油藏水平井CO2增能压裂提供技术参考。

     

    Abstract: To address the challenges of poor sweep efficiency of injected media and unpredictable fracture propagation behavior in traditional energy-replenishment development and fracturing stimulation for reservoirs characterized by water sensitivity, low-permeability, and strong heterogeneity, a three-dimensional fine reservoir numerical model with strong heterogeneity was established based on the Rarefed–Leap-frog (R-L) coupling method, and the degree of reservoir heterogeneity was quantified using indicators such as permeability contrast and porosity variation coefficient. By comparing the stimulation performance of hydraulic fracturing, CO2-enhanced fracturing, and N2 fracturing, and incorporating CO2 dissolution effects, the influence patterns of geomechanics parameters on fracture propagation was clarified and the mechanism of CO2-enhanced fracturing was determined. The results indicate that CO2-enhanced fracturing exhibits optimal adaptability for such reservoirs, creating more complex fracture networks and yielding the maximum stimulated reservoir volume (SRV). However, CO2 dissolution effects are predominantly negative: weakly acidic fluids induced by CO2 dissolution aggravates clay mineral swelling, resulting in a significant near-wellbore permeability decline that partially offsets the positive energy-enhancement effects. A higher Young's modulus promotes longer fracture propagation, yet the incremental gain in SRV tends to slow down beyond a certain threshold. In contrast, a higher Poisson's ratio reduces SRV and simplifies fracture morphology. Numerical simulations specific to the target block further demonstrate that fractures propagate more easily in regions where Young's modulus is ≥18.75 GPa and Poisson's ratio is ≤0.22. Moreover, when the permeability ratio is ≥1.5 and the in-situ stress coefficient of variation is ≥0.25, SRV decreases by over 20%. These findings provide technical guidance for CO2-enhanced fracturing operations in horizontal wells within analogous reservoirs.
