The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development, in particular to a proppant parameter design method for sand-packed temporary plugging fracturing.
Background
In recent years, shale gas resources have become hot spots for unconventional oil and gas exploration and development in China. At present, more than 50 shale gas mine property rights are formed in China, 17 ten thousand square kilometers are involved in the country, and most of the shale gas mine property rights are concentrated in the ancient marine border area of the Sichuan basin. Among them, the shale gas fields of Changning, weiyuan and Zhaotong in the south of Sichuan have been successfully built into the national grade shale gas demonstration area, and the total productivity is expected to reach 150 billion cubic meters in 2020.
With the continuous progress of the shale gas development technology in China, the shale gas exploitation cost is gradually reduced, and the development process is continuously promoted. At present, dense distribution cluster perforation is generally adopted to be matched with a composite fracturing process such as subsection temporary plugging and steering to implement reconstruction and induce a fracture network at home, a certain effect is successfully achieved, and a plurality of challenges are met. When the fracturing construction operation is implemented, the sleeve of the shaft of a part of horizontal well is distorted and deformed, and the drift diameter of the well bore is sharply reduced. The casing pipe warp and the necking down leads to the below position of accident section can't use downhole tool to seal and separate the segmentation and turn to for effective transformation can't be implemented to partial well section, directly influences whole effect and the later stage productivity construction of full well section fracturing. Due to the difficulty in performing staged fracturing successfully, the test yield of individual casing deformation wells is even one third of that of adjacent normal wells. Besides the challenge to the implementation of fracturing production increasing operation, the deformation of the casing pipe leads the integrity of the shaft to be incapable of being guaranteed, engineering risks are brought to subsequent gas production operation, the life cycle of the gas well is indirectly shortened, and the economic benefit of the development of the whole shale gas area is influenced.

Example 1
Take the 5 th section of shale gas well a in a certain block as an example. The well is characterized by smooth stratum production, stable stratum distribution and smooth structure, and is a beneficial shale gas storage area. However, the shale layer of the well area is quite developed, and a large amount of shear dislocation is induced by hydraulic fracturing. After the first section of hydraulic fracturing, the well has a casing deformation accident, a 96mm drift size cannot pass through a casing deformation point, and a bridge plug or a mechanical packing tool cannot be used for staged fracturing. Therefore, the well was then shifted to a sand pack frac process with specific reservoir geology and engineering parameters as shown in the table below.

Step 2: two groups of 20/40 mesh and 40/70 mesh proppants were selected and defined as group 1 (20/40 mesh) and group 2 (40/70 mesh), respectively. Two groups of proppant samples were each taken and subjected to further fine screening to obtain respective specific particle size compositions, wherein the proportion of 20/40 mesh particles was 70%, and the average particle size a of the two groups of particles after complete mixing (20/40 mesh particles average particle size 0.73mm,40/70 mesh particles average particle size 0.35 mm) was 0.616mm calculated according to formula 4 (which may be the same as formula 4 described in the first exemplary embodiment), which formula 4 may be:
wherein A is the average particle size of the proppant particles, m (units); a isx Is the particle size, m (units), of the xth particle in grouping 1; v. ofax Dimensionless (unit) as the volume fraction of the xth particle in subgroup 1; by Particle size, m (units), of the y-th particle in the particles of group 2; v. ofby Is the volume fraction of the y-th particle in subgroup 2, dimensionless (unit); v takes a value of 0.7; the particle size corresponding to the mesh size in the screening can be shown in the following table.
| Particle size (mm) | 2.38 | 2.00 | 1.68 | 1.41 | 1.68 | 1.19 | 1.00 |
| Number of particles | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 12 | 16 | 18 |
| Particle size (mm) | 0.841 | 0.707 | 0.400 | 0.297 | 0.250 | 0.210 | 0.177 |
| Number of particle meshes | 20 | 25 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 |
And step 3: a =0.616mm greater than 1/4 of the crack width 2.4mm, i.e. 4A > wi (which may be the same as equation 2 described in the first exemplary embodiment), so the proppant mesh count of group 1 is satisfactory.
And 4, step 4: the average particle diameter of the particles of subgroup 2 (40/70 mesh) is 0.35mm, which is 1/5 of the average particle diameter of the particles of subgroup 1 (20/40 mesh) which is 0.73mm, i.e.
(which may be the same as equation 5 described in the first exemplary embodiment), the mesh number of the packet 2 is thus satisfactory.
And 5: after the preferred size and distribution of the proppant particles based on steps 3 and 4, the proppant particles are processed according to equation 6The mean particle size a =0.616mm was determined. Subsequently, the dimensionless proppant volume fraction 0.3882 that needs to be pumped in to achieve sand pack plugging is calculated based on equation 3 (which may be the same as equation 3 described in the first exemplary embodiment). Finally, the dimensionless proppant volume fraction B was converted to the proppant mass concentration required for the sand pack temporary plug according to equation 6 (which may be the same asequation 6 described in the first exemplary embodiment) (the apparent density of the quartz sand proppant was equal to about 1650 kg/m)3 ) Is 410kg/m3 The formula 3 may be:

The shale gas well A5 th fracturing operation is carried out according to the optimized proppant parameters, a proppant adding program for increasing the sand ratio in a multi-stage mode is adopted, as shown in figure 2 (the construction graph of the fracturing operation is shown in figure 2, the abscissa represents the construction time and the abscissa is the construction time and the time is elapsed from left to right), and finally, the sand adding concentration exceeds 400kg/m3 And the sand filling temporary plugging is successfully carried out, the fracturing monitoring casing pressure is increased steeply, and the effective sand filling temporary plugging optimization design scheme is proved.
In summary, the proppant parameter design method for sand-packed temporary plugging fracturing provided by the invention has the advantages that:
(1) The design method considers the correlation between the particle concentration and the temporary plugging performance, and overcomes the defect that the existing optimization design method only optimizes the particle size distribution and does not optimize the one-sidedness of mass concentration;
(2) Whether designed proppant parameters can form bridging in the fracture or not can be judged through the average particle size (the bridging can be formed in the fracture if the average particle size meets the formula 2), whether stable packing effect can be formed in the fracture or not can be determined according to the particle size ratio (the stable packing effect can be formed in the fracture if the particle size ratio meets the formula 5), and then the proppant concentration with the lowest requirement is determined according to quantitative design, so that the mass concentration obtained by the design method is beneficial to on-site reference use, and therefore the actual construction design requirements are met, especially the blocking mechanical behavior of high-concentration sand with the volume fraction not less than 45%, and even the blocking mechanical behavior of high-concentration sand with the volume fraction as high as 60%.
