考虑液态二氧化碳延迟效应的破裂压力预测方法

A method for predicting fracture initiation pressure considering time-delay effect of liquid carbon dioxide

  • 摘要: 液态二氧化碳压裂作业中地层破裂压力响应特征不明显,现场监测的起裂延迟容易导致过量注入,增加油管破裂的风险。基于井筒温度-压力耦合模型,建立液态二氧化碳注入过程的增压速率动态模型,考虑体积压缩系数的动态变化,揭示增压速率对破裂压力的影响规律。研究发现:二氧化碳压裂存在明显延时效应,模型计算二氧化碳泵注排量在4.3 m3/min时,破裂压力比小型压裂测试(水力压裂)小14.85%,起裂延迟时间约为3.5 min;泵注排量对井底温度压力产生不同影响,泵注排量增大时,井底温度降低;而井底压力随泵注排量呈抛物线特征变化,临界泵注排量1.5 m3/min为井底压力由增向减转变的转折点;增压速率随泵注排量增大而提升,过大的泵注排量导致井底压力降低,造成地层难以起裂,当泵注排量超过4.3 m3/min时摩擦压耗显著增加,最优泵注排量应控制在1.5~4.3 m3/min。该研究为液态二氧化碳压裂岩石破裂压力模型提供了新的支持理论,对二氧化碳压裂安全评估起到辅助作用。

     

    Abstract: During liquid carbon dioxide fracturing operations, it has been discovered that the manifestation of formation fracture initiation pressure is not prominent. The delay in on-site monitoring of breakdown initiation is prone to causing excessive injection of carbon dioxide, thereby escalating the risk of tubing rupture. Based on the wellbore temperature-pressure coupling model, this study establishes a dynamic pressure ramping rate model during liquid carbon dioxide injection. The proposed model incorporates the dynamic variation of volume compressibility and systematically investigates the influence pattern of pressure ramping rate on fracture initiation pressure. The research results indicate the followings: A distinct time-delay effect in carbon dioxide fracturing was observed. According to the model calculations, when the injection rate of carbon dioxide is 4.3 m3/min, the fracture initiation pressure is 14.85% lower than that in the mini-fracturing test (hydraulic fracturing), and the breakdown initiation delay time is approximately 3.5 minutes; The injection rate was found to exert different effects on the bottom-hole temperature and pressure. As the injection rate increases, the bottom-hole temperature decreases. The bottom-hole pressure varies in a parabolic manner with the injection rate, and the critical injection rate of 1.5 m3/min is the turning point at which the bottom-hole pressure transitions from increasing to decreasing; The pressure ramping rate was observed to rise with an increase in the injection rate. Nevertheless, an excessively high injection rate leads to a reduction in the bottom-hole pressure, making it arduous for the formation to fracture. When the pumping displacement exceeds 4.3 m3/min, the frictional pressure loss increases significantly. Therefore, the optimal injection rate should be regulated within the range of 1.5-4.3 m3/min. Through this theoretical research, novel supporting theories have been provided for the rock fracture initiation pressure model of liquid carbon dioxide fracturing, which plays a supporting role in the safety assessment of carbon dioxide fracturing.
