超深层页岩气立体缝网压裂技术进展与发展建议

Advances and future prospects in staged fracturing technology for ultra-deep shale gas horizontal wells

  • 摘要: 为明确我国超深层页岩气立体缝网压裂技术攻关方向,梳理了国内外垂深大于4500m页岩气区块的储层地质工程特征、压裂工艺及压后排液试气动态,分析了伍德福德、曼科斯与四川盆地典型区块开发实践,归纳总结了不同储层条件下压裂工艺适应性及压后生产动态差异。伍德福德区块依托天然裂缝发育、应力差小、脆性较高等条件,形成了小簇间距、中高强度用液、高强度加砂、小粒径支撑剂和暂堵转向相结合的立体缝网压裂模式;我国超深层页岩气普遍具有高温、高应力、高应力差、高闭合压力和多夹层特征,压裂施工压力高、加砂窗口窄、缝网复杂化受限,部分井压后高返排率、高产液现象突出。分析认为,天然裂缝或微断裂是复杂缝形成和高产气流的关键地质因素,高净压力和裂缝远支撑是高产稳产的工程保障。现有地质工程甜点评价标准、压裂工艺方法及监测技术等难以完全满足我国不同类型超深层页岩气高效改造需求。建议建立适用于超深层页岩气的双甜点评价标准,分类攻关差异化立体缝网压裂工艺、闷井排采制度和深远探缝监测技术等,构建适合国内不同区域超深层页岩气评−压−采一体化技术体系。

     

    Abstract: To clarify the research priorities for three-dimensional fracture-network stimulation in ultra-deep shale gas reservoirs in China, this study systematically reviews the geological and engineering characteristics, hydraulic fracturing practices, and post-fracturing flowback and gas-testing responses of shale gas blocks with true vertical depths greater than 4,500 m worldwide. Development practices in Woodford, Mancos, and representative blocks of the Sichuan Basin are analyzed, and the adaptability of fracturing technologies and differences in post-fracturing production behavior under varying reservoir conditions are summarized. In the Woodford Shale, favorable conditions such as well-developed natural fractures, low stress contrast, and relatively high brittleness have enabled the development of a three-dimensional fracture-network stimulation mode characterized by small cluster spacing, medium-to-high fluid intensity, high proppant loading, fine-grained proppants, and temporary plugging and diversion. In contrast, ultra-deep shale gas reservoirs in China are generally characterized by high temperature, high in-situ stress, high stress contrast, high closure pressure, and multiple interlayers. These conditions lead to high treating pressures, narrow proppant-placement windows, and limited fracture-network complexity. Some wells also exhibit high flowback recovery and high post-fracturing liquid production. The analysis indicates that natural fractures or micro faults are key geological factors controlling complex fracture development and high gas deliverability, while high net pressure and effective far-field fracture propping are essential engineering guarantees for high and stable production. Existing geological and engineering sweet-spot evaluation criteria, fracturing technologies, and monitoring methods cannot fully meet the efficient stimulation requirements of different types of ultra-deep shale gas reservoirs in China. It is therefore recommended to establish dual sweet-spot evaluation criteria suitable for ultra-deep shale gas reservoirs, to develop differentiated three-dimensional fracture-network stimulation technologies, shut-in and flowback management strategies, and far-field fracture monitoring techniques for different reservoir types, and ultimately to build an integrated evaluation-fracturing-production technical system adapted to ultra-deep shale gas development in different regions of China.
