Abstract

Shale gas reservoirs usually have well-developed fractures and joints, and the fracturing development process is prone to forming complex fracture networks near the wellbore, which is not conducive to the effective migration and efficient development of shale gas. The development of temporary plugging agents related to shale fracturing reservoir transformation is a key technology to solve this problem in the shale gas development process. Therefore, a water-soluble preformed gel temporary plugging agent was developed, and its expansion/swelling characteristics and temporary plugging performance were analyzed through experiments. At the same time, experimental evaluation was conducted on its unblocking performance. Research has found that although there are differences in the swelling rate of temporary plugging agents at different stages, they gradually increase during plugging operations. The volume of the temporary plugging agent expanded nearly 8.24 times throughout the entire experimental process. In addition, temporary plugging agents can temporarily seal micro fractures and rapidly expand hydraulic fractures, thereby significantly improving shale gas recovery rate. The shale gas recovery rate when temporary plugging agents are used in fracturing operations is about 12.3% higher than when temporary plugging agents are not used. In addition, the increase in working fluid temperature and the concentration of surfactants will mostly stimulate the activity of water molecules, thereby stimulating the hydrolysis of temporary blocking agents in microcracks. Taking into account the development cost and efficiency, it is reasonable to control the temperature of the working fluid and the concentration of surfactant during the unblocking process after the fracturing operation between 110-140°C and 0.75 g/m3, respectively. In order to provide technical support and design basis for the efficient development of shale gas through this study.

特定页岩储层水溶性预制凝胶临时堵塞和疏通性能试验研究
页岩气储层通常具有发育的裂缝和节理,压裂开发过程中容易在井筒附近形成复杂的裂缝网络,不利于页岩气的有效迁移和高效开发。开发与页岩压裂储层改造相关的暂堵剂是解决页岩气开发过程中这一问题的关键技术。因此,开发了一种水溶性预成型凝胶暂堵剂,并通过实验分析了其膨胀/溶胀特性和暂堵性能。同时,还对其疏通性能进行了实验评价。研究发现,虽然临时堵漏剂在不同阶段的膨胀率存在差异,但在堵漏操作过程中,膨胀率会逐渐增加。在整个实验过程中,临时堵漏剂的体积膨胀了近 8.24 倍。此外,暂堵剂还能暂时封堵微裂缝,迅速扩张水力裂缝,从而显著提高页岩气采收率。在压裂作业中使用临时堵漏剂时,页岩气采收率比不使用临时堵漏剂时高出约 12.3%。此外,工作液温度的升高和表面活性剂浓度的增加主要会刺激水分子的活性,从而刺激微裂缝中临时封堵剂的水解。考虑到开发成本和效率,在压裂作业后的解堵过程中,将工作液温度和表面活性剂浓度分别控制在 110-140°C 和 0.75 g/m3 之间是合理的。以期通过本研究为页岩气的高效开发提供技术支持和设计依据。
