立体井组压裂过程中近井筒应力场扰动规律与套变风险

Disturbance rule of near-wellbore stress field and casing deformation risk in the process of shale oil well groups fracturing

  • 摘要: 页岩油气的开发普遍采用立体井组的方式建井,但井筒附近地应力场的扰动可能导致井壁失稳、套管损坏、储层渗透性改变等问题,严重影响油气井的生产寿命和采收率。基于地质力学有限元法,通过Petrel三维建模软件与ABAQUS有限元软件构建了三维数值模型,系统分析了立体井组压裂过程中近井筒地应力场的变化规律,并对全井筒各位置的套管受力与变形进行了风险评估。研究表明:压裂段改造区域的相互重叠使地应力场重复扰动,导致井周最大水平主应力下降幅度达25 MPa、方向偏移角度超过45°,成为促使套管变形风险增大的关键因素;平台内水平井压裂裂缝扩展至邻井井筒区域后,会显著提高邻井套管的轴线位移量,数值模拟结果显示应力扰动重叠段套管位移峰值由8.25 mm骤增至36.08 mm,且最大Mises有效应力局部超过700 MPa;井周地应力场在大小和方向上的多次复杂变化,加剧了套管变形风险。数值模拟结果与现场实测数据高度吻合,表明模型具有较强工程适用性。研究结果对立体井组的压裂设计优化与套变风险精准防控具有重要指导意义。

     

    Abstract: The development of shale oil and gas commonly adopts the method of three-dimensional well group construction. However, the disturbance of near-wellbore in-situ stress field may lead to issues such as wellbore instability, casing damages, and changes in reservoir permeability, severely affecting the production life span and recovery efficiency of oil and gas wells. In this study, based on the geomechanical finite element method, a three-dimensional numerical model was established by using Petrel 3D modeling software and ABAQUS finite element software. This model was employed to systematically analyze the variation patterns of near-wellbore in-situ stress field during the fracturing process in well groups. Additionally, a risk assessment of casing stress and deformation at various positions along the entire wellbore was conducted. This research indicates that the overlapping of fractured zones from different fracturing stages results in repeated disturbances of the in-situ stress field, which causes the decrease of maximum horizontal principal stress around the well by 25 MPa and the direction deviation angle exceeding 45°, significantly promoting the casing deformation and serving as one of the key contributing factors. When the fractures from horizontal wells within the pad extend into the wellbore region of adjacent wells, the axial displacement of the casings in adjacent wells significantly increases. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the peak casing displacement in the stress disturbance overlap section sharply increases from 8.25 mm to 36.08 mm, and the maximum Mises effective stress partly exceeds 700 MPa. Furthermore, the repeated and complex changes in the magnitude and direction of the near-wellbore in-situ stress field exacerbate the risk of casing deformation. The numerical simulation results present high coincidence with measured field data, indicating strong engineering applicability of this model. The findings provide important guidance for the design of 3D well groups fracturing and prevention of casing deformation.
