页岩油CO2前置压裂增能效果预测及优化

Prediction and Optimization of Shale Oil CO2 Pre-Fracturing Energy Enhancement Effect

  • 摘要: 页岩油开发过程中地层能量不足、产量递减快。针对CO2前置压裂技术,通过引入基于动态泄油面积(DDA)的产能模型,将不稳定渗流视为一系列拟稳态流动阶段的叠加,耦合物质守恒方程及压力波传播距离(DOI)方程,采用Newton-Raphson迭代法求解每个时间步的压力、饱和度及产量,实现了CO2前置压裂页岩油井生产动态的快速预测,与商业软件数值模拟误差小于1%,显示出较高的工程适用性。以吉木萨尔页岩油储层为例,应用此模型优化设计了CO2前置段塞大小。研究表明:当CO2摩尔分数为30%(0.1 PV)时,CO2前置增油效果最佳,原油增产和CO2埋存效率均较高;低于30%时增产有限,而高于30%则产气激增,换油率和埋存率骤降。该研究为页岩油CO2前置压裂的段塞优化设计提供了理论依据与实践参考。

     

    Abstract: Rapid production decline and insufficient formation energy are major challenges in shale oil development. To address these issues, this study focuses on CO2 pre-fracturing technology. A productivity model based on the dynamic drainage area (DDA) concept was introduced, treating unsteady flow as a series of pseudo-steady-state flow stages. By coupling the productivity equation, material balance equation, and pressure propagation distance (DOI) equation, the pressure, saturation, and production at each time step were solved using the Newton-Raphson iteration method. This approach enables rapid and accurate prediction of production performance for shale oil wells subjected to CO2 prepad fracturing. The model demonstrated high engineering application value, with errors of less than 1% compared to commercial numerical simulation software. Using the Jimsar shale oil reservoir as a case study, the CO2 prepad slug size was optimized based on the model. The results indicate that a CO2 mole fraction of 30% (corresponding to 0.1 pv) yields the optimal enhanced oil recovery effect, balancing both crude oil production increase and CO2 sequestration efficiency. When the CO2 mole fraction is below 30%, the production improvement is limited; whereas exceeding 30% leads to a sharp rise in gas production and a significant decline in both displacement efficiency and sequestration efficiency. This research provides theoretical and practical guidance for optimizing CO2 prepad slug design in shale oil development.
