Background
In the field of petroleum, fracturing refers to a method of forming cracks in oil and gas layers by using the action of water power in the process of oil or gas production, and is also called hydraulic fracturing. Fracturing is the process of artificially cracking stratum, improving the flowing environment of oil in underground and increasing the yield of oil well, and plays an important role in improving the flowing condition of oil well bottom, slowing down the interlamination and improving the oil layer utilization condition. The hydraulic fracturing method comprises two categories of hydraulic fracturing and high-energy gas fracturing, wherein the hydraulic fracturing is that fluid is injected into a well at a high speed by a ground high-pressure pump truck group, and the rock of an oil layer is fractured to generate cracks by means of high pressure pumped up from the bottom of the well. In order to prevent the pressure from dropping and the crack from closing after the pump truck stops working, sand which is several times higher than the density of the stratum is mixed in the injected liquid after the stratum is broken, the sand and the fluid enter the crack and stay in the crack permanently, and the supporting crack is in an open state, so that the oil flow environment is improved for a long time. The current hydraulic fracturing technology is mature, and the oil well yield increasing effect is obvious, so that the hydraulic fracturing technology becomes a preferred common technology for people for a long time.
After the fracturing reformation measures are implemented on the oil and gas well, an effective monitoring method is needed to determine the fracturing operation effect and acquire a plurality of information such as the flow conductivity, the geometric shape, the complexity, the direction and the like of a fracturing induced fracture so as to improve the fracturing production increase operation effect of the shale gas reservoir and the productivity of the gas well and improve the shale gas recovery ratio. The monitoring method in the prior art comprises the following steps: underground micro-earthquake, direct near-wellbore fracture monitoring and distributed acoustic sensors. The underground micro-seismic monitoring method is characterized in that according to the principle that micro-seismic events can be induced by fluid injection, the response characteristics of a returned wave field to gas storage layer cracks are utilized to carry out wave field response analysis, and the monitoring reaction result of corresponding fracturing is obtained; micro-seismic monitoring is a matching technology in the hydraulic fracturing modification process of a shale gas reservoir, but at present, due to the limitation of the micro-seismic monitoring technology, the growth process, the geometric shape and the spatial distribution of cracks of the hydraulic fracturing modification reservoir cannot be effectively and intuitively described due to the fact that signals are attenuated continuously when seismic waves are transmitted in a stratum, the noise of a shaft environment is large, the pump pressure and the pump speed are high and the like; the principle of a direct near wellbore fracture monitoring method is as follows: the monitoring technology is that the near-wellbore range fracture parameter information is inverted through the fluid physical characteristics of the shale gas well after logging and fracturing, and the monitoring technology mainly comprises an isotope tracer method, temperature logging and the like; however, the direct near-wellbore fracture monitoring method does not have a real-time monitoring function, has a small monitoring range and can only be used as a supplementary means generally; the distributed acoustic sensing monitoring method is characterized in that the optical fiber is used as a sound sensing transmission medium to monitor the sound distribution condition along the optical fiber in real time, and further crack information is obtained; the distributed sound sensor monitoring method has good reaction on the inclination angle and the direction of the crack, but cannot effectively react on data of the width, the height and the like of the complex crack.
Therefore, after the fracturing reformation measures are implemented on the oil and gas well, an effective monitoring method is needed to determine the fracturing operation effect, obtain the flow conductivity, the geometric shape, the complexity, the direction and other information of the fracturing induced fracture, improve the fracturing production increase operation effect of the shale gas reservoir and the productivity of the gas well, and improve the shale gas recovery ratio. The depth of a fracturing layer is generally more than 1000m, the thickness is dozens of meters or even dozens of meters, the numerical simulation is usually 8%, the actual measurement is only 5%, the signal is extremely weak, and the fracture cannot be distinguished with slight interference; secondly, real-time monitoring of fracturing is realized, the field data acquisition and transmission should have timeliness, the reliability of the traditional inversion technology is not more than 60%, the transverse and longitudinal distribution cannot be regarded as the power, the resistivity change of a deep fracturing layer position cannot be extracted by a conventional inversion means, and the seam length, the seam width, the seam height and the like of a complex fracture cannot be effectively reflected.
