基于压裂施工曲线小波变换的裂缝诊断及井筒完整性预测方法

A Method for Fracture Diagnosis and Wellbore Integrity Prediction Based on Wavelet Transform of Fracturing Curves

  • 摘要: 四川盆地筇竹寺组页岩气井压裂过程中套管变形问题突出,严重破坏井筒完整性、影响单井产能,而现有裂缝诊断方法在实时性和动态性上存在明显局限。为解决这一问题,引入多尺度离散小波变换方法,以压裂施工压力曲线为研究对象,构建裂缝增长特征实时诊断模型,结合微地震监测数据判断人工裂缝与天然裂缝的沟通状态,实现压裂过程中套管变形的实时预警。通过对比不同Daubechies小波基及分解层级的特征提取效果,优选db4小波基作为最优诊断基函数,确定4~6级中低频带为核心特征频段,构建细节能量方差、最大绝对波动幅度为核心的量化预警判据。以JY5HF井为实例,对比了该方法与Nolte−Smith经典诊断方法,结合泵送桥塞、扫塞遇阻数据及微地震监测结果验证了模型的有效性。对比表明,该方法与经典方法的皮尔逊相关系数达0.86,可有效剔除工程噪声,精准识别即时套变与滞后套变的不同诱因,区分天然裂缝沟通与设备干扰信号。研究结果表明,该方法无需额外增加监测设备,成本低、实时性强,可实现“压前预测—压中诊断—压后验证”的井筒完整性一体化评估,为页岩气井压裂施工的安全高效开展提供技术支撑。

     

    Abstract: The casing deformation problem is prominent during the fracturing process of shale gas wells in the Qiongzhusi Formation of the Sichuan Basin, which seriously damages wellbore integrity and affects single well productivity, and existing fracture diagnosis methods have obvious limitations in real-time performance and dynamics. To address this problem, a multi-scale discrete wavelet transform method was introduced. By taking the fracturing pressure curve as the research object, a real-time diagnosis model of fracture growth features was constructed. Combined with microseismic monitoring data, the communication status between artificial and natural fractures was judged to achieve real-time early warning of casing deformation during the fracturing process. By comparing the feature extraction effects of different Daubechies wavelet bases and decomposition levels, the db4 wavelet basis was optimized as the optimal diagnostic basis function. The middle and low frequency band of levels 4–6 was determined as the core feature frequency band, and the quantitative early warning criterion with detail energy variance and maximum absolute fluctuation amplitude as the core was constructed. Taking Well JY5HF as an example, this method was compared with the classical Nolte-Smith diagnostic method, and the effectiveness of the model was verified combined with the data of pump-down bridge plug, milling plug resistance, and microseismic monitoring results. The results indicate that the Pearson correlation coefficient between this method and the classical method reaches 0.86. It can effectively eliminate engineering noise, accurately identify different inducements of instant and delayed casing deformation, and distinguish between natural fracture communication and equipment interference signals. The research shows that this method requires no additional monitoring equipment, has low cost and strong real-time performance, and can achieve integrated evaluation of wellbore integrity involving “pre-fracturing prediction, mid-fracturing diagnosis, and post-fracturing verification”, providing technical support for the safe and efficient development of fracturing operations in shale gas wells.
