缝内暂堵裂缝扩展应力场与渗流场耦合机理

Coupling mechanism of fracture propagation stress field and seepage field in intra-fracture temporary plugging

  • 摘要: 针对裂缝性致密储层缝内暂堵过程中裂缝扩展与应力场重分布机理复杂的问题,基于新疆油田裂缝性致密储层地质力学特征,建立了水力裂缝诱导应力场数学模型,分析了暂堵前裂缝附近应力场分布规律,并采用有限元方法,模拟了单条水力裂缝、裂缝相交及天然裂缝二次转向等不同扩展形态下的应力重分布过程,系统研究了缝内暂堵过程中新裂缝的起裂机理与应力场的演化规律。研究结果表明:孔隙压力场和最大主应力场叠加效应可以改变局部应力矢量方向,从而显著提升裂缝的转向扩展潜力;水力裂缝与天然裂缝相交及天然裂缝二次转向过程中分别引发第二次与第三次应力重分布,分别调控天然裂缝及分支缝的激活与转向;暂堵导致的孔隙压力升高能显著增强局部应力集中效应,从而显著增强应力扰动,加速裂缝起裂、扩展与转向。建立的缝内暂堵裂缝扩展数值模型及多场耦合分析方法,可为现场暂堵转向压裂施工设计提供理论依据。

     

    Abstract: To address the complex mechanisms of fracture propagation and stress field redistribution during intra-fracture temporary plugging in naturally fractured tight reservoirs, based on the geomechanical characteristics of the fractured tight reservoirs in Xinjiang Oilfield, this study established a mathematical model for the stress field induced by hydraulic fractures and analyzed the stress distribution patterns around the fractures prior to temporary plugging. Finite element simulations were conducted to investigate the stress redistribution process associated with different propagation scenarios, including single hydraulic fracture, fracture intersection, and secondary diversion of natural fractures. The initiation mechanism of new fractures and the evolution law of the stress field during the intra-fracture temporary plugging were systematically investigated. The results show that dual-field superposition effect induces local stress vector diversion, thereby remarkably enhancing the potential of fracture diversion and propagation. The intersection of hydraulic fractures with natural fractures and secondary diversion trigger the second and third stress redistributions, respectively, regulating the activation and diversion of natural fractures and branch fractures. The pore pressure increase due to temporary plugging can significantly enhance the local stress concentration, thereby evidently boosting stress perturbation and accelerating fracture initiation, propagation, and diversion. The numerical model established for fracture propagation during intra-fracture temporary plugging and multi-field coupling analysis method provide theoretical guidance for the design of field-scale temporary plugging and diversion fracturing operations.
