Optimization of deep acid fracturing parameters for Shunbei carbonate dissolved fault reservoirs

Abstract

Abstract When encountering favorable reservoirs that have not been drilled along the wellbore trajectory of Shunbei carbonate fracture-cavity reservoirs, deep acid fracturing technology is required to communicate with favorable reservoirs and achieve production. Currently, there is no optimized method for designing deep acid fracturing parameters for Shunbei fracture-cavity reservoirs, which results in problems such as failure to communicate with favorable reservoirs after deep acid fracturing or rapid decline in production after communication. To address these issues, this paper establishes a geological feature model for fracture-cavity reservoirs based on the characteristics of Shunbei fracture-cavity reservoirs and proposes a deep acid fracturing fracture parameter optimization approach with production capacity as the goal. Using a multi-field coupled acid fracturing model that can reflect the large leakage characteristics of fracture-cavity reservoirs, the proposed fracture parameters are used to simulate and optimize the scale of pre-flushing liquid and acid liquid. The simulation results show that the desired increase in production can be achieved when the fracture diversion capacity is 30D·cm and the penetration ratio is between 0.1 and 0.3. Furthermore, this paper recommends injecting 450~900 m3 of pre-flushing liquid to communicate with favorable reservoirs (0.1≤De≤0.2), followed by the injection of 900 m3 of cross-linked acid and 450 m3 of gelled acid to construct the fracture diversion capacity through acid corrosion.
