Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of unconventional oil and gas exploration and development technologies and deep geological drilling, in particular to plugging of shale pores, and specifically relates to a numerical simulation method for plugging shale pores by using discrete element nanoparticles based on multiple parameters.
Background
The energy is a powerful guarantee for the long-term stable development of the economy in China. However, with the continuous consumption of fossil energy, the development difficulty is increasing, the environment protection situation is becoming more severe, and the development of environment-friendly clean energy with large reserves becomes the focus of attention of global scholars and government enterprises. Shale gas is an unconventional energy with huge reserves, is an important ring for realizing a modern multi-energy system, and in 2019, the shale gas is newly added to prove that the geological reserve of 1247 billion cubic meters is hopeful to be a main natural gas source in China beyond the conventional gas. The shale gas is explored and developed, and the shale well wall is maintained to be stable without drilling and drilling fluid in the deep geological drilling process.
The shale gas is explored and developed, and the shale well wall is maintained to be stable without drilling and drilling fluid in the deep geological drilling process. Maintaining the pressure in the well above the pore pressure of the formation (but not above the fracture pressure) is a reasonably safe exploitation mode for shale gas drilling and deep geological drilling. Under such conditions, water-based drilling fluids inevitably invade shale formations.
To solve the above problems, it is desirable to reduce the invasion of drilling fluid as much as possible while maintaining the stability of the borehole wall. Adding the nano material to plug the shale pores is one of effective methods for enhancing the stability of the well wall. Since the nanomaterials are physically matched to the shale nanopores, when the nanoparticles migrate deep into the shale pores, the particles pile up and retard re-invasion of moisture.
However, the plugging effect of the nanoparticle drilling fluid on the shale pores is mostly limited to physical experimental data at present, and a numerical simulation study on the maintenance of the borehole wall stability by plugging the shale pores with the nanoparticles is rarely reported. The migration, dynamic accumulation and micro-plugging mechanisms of the nanoparticles in the drilling fluid after invading the shale pores are not clear.
The experimental data problem is that the nano-scale physical experiment has large difficulty in dynamic observation, high cost and difficulty in success, so that the nano-scale physical experiment can completely master the micro mechanism of nano-particle plugging, and the micro mechanism is not feasible under the current conditions.
In addition, the influence of the porosity, the fluid physical properties and the pore stress makes the mechanism research of the blocking of the shale pores by the nanoparticles more complicated and difficult.
Meanwhile, the nanoparticle plugging model adopted by the predecessor has single particle parameter, and only includes 1 particle parameter, namely the plugging efficiency values calculated by different particle diameters (based on the content disclosed in the prior patent CN 104504192B).
Meanwhile, the research content of the predecessor does not include plugging performance evaluation and model verification brought by the change of the viscosity of the fluid. The above limitations lead to the difficulty in rapidly determining the plugging efficiency of the nanoparticles and the real-time invasion amount of the drilling fluid under different fluid physical characteristics and various particle parameters.
In the actual drilling process of shale gas, two modes of a vertical well and a horizontal well exist, and no technical method can be used for simulating the nanoparticle blocking numerical simulation method under two well conditions at the same time. The technical difficulties are how to determine the amount of particles and fluid entering the vertical well and the horizontal well, how to set the particle release mode, how to set the viscosity of the fluid filtrate entering the pores, how to set the particle parameter diversity, and the like.

Detailed Description
The invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of the invention is not limited to the following.
A numerical simulation method for plugging shale pores by using discrete element nanoparticles based on multiple parameters is matched with software such as ANSYS Fluent and EDEM (enhanced dynamic simulation), and comprises the following steps:
s1, writing a dragging force program of the particles under the nanoscale, and modifying a standard dragging force equation. Because the particles are nanoparticles, the dragging force of the nanoparticles is different from that of the particles under the conventional size, and in order to ensure the rationality of a simulation result, a nanoparticle dragging force equation is programmed and reconstructed based on a viscous flow Oseen equation under a small Reynolds number, an experimental data fitting formula of Pruppacher-Steinberger, a sphere laminar flow calculation equation of Dennis and Walker, and a sphere resistance coefficient formula of different sizes proposed by Goin and Lawrence;
to ensure rationality, a standard particle drag curve is not used directly, but a modified version of the drag curve is used based on screening and validation of data available for spherical particles, the basic principle of modifying the drag force formula is as follows:
where μ is viscosity, m particle density, L particle diameter, ReIs the reynolds number.
By customizing the programming function for Re<0.01, and experiments prove that the Oseen result is more reliable. The particle collision model is shown in figure 1.
When Re > 1.5X 103And then, based on a Beard empirical formula, a particle dragging force formula is obtained through derivation:
when Re is more than 250 and less than 1.5X 103And then, the formula of the particle dragging force is obtained through derivation:
when 20 < Re < 250, the particle drag force formula is derived as:
when Re is more than 10 and less than 20, the particle drag force formula is derived from two groups of specific data of Pruppacher and Steinberger as follows:
when Re is more than 0.01 and less than 10, based on experimental data, the formula of the particle dragging force is derived as follows:
when Re is less than 0.01, based on experimental data, the formula of the particle dragging force is derived as follows:
based on the nanoparticle drag force equation described above, the fluid-solid coupling model assumes that the pore fluid is continuous and described by the local Navier-Stoke equation. From the conservation of mass equation and the conservation of momentum equation, the fluid is calculated by the following equation:
where p is the density of the fluid,
is the velocity of the fluid, S is the mass added to the continuous phase from the dispersed second phase, p is the static pressure,
is the tensor of the stress(s),
and
is the physical force of gravitation and external force.
The trajectories of the discrete phase particles are integrated by the equilibrium forces written on the particles in the lagrange reference system. This balancing force equates the particle inertia to the force acting on the particle. Re is defined as:
here, FDIs an additional acceleration (force/unit mass) term,
is the resistance per unit mass of the particle, ppIs the density of the particles and is,
is the velocity of the fluid phase and,
is the particle velocity, μ is the molecular viscosity of the fluid, ρ is the fluid density, dpIs the particle diameter.
The wiener stokes equation contains virtual mass forces, the first of which is the "virtual mass" force, which is the force that accelerates the fluid around the particle.
Wherein, CvmIs the virtual mass force factor.
When the density of the fluid is much lower than the density of the particles, the virtual mass and the pressure gradient force are not important, as are the liquid/solid particles in the gas stream.
When a fluid has a certain temperature, small particles suspended in the fluid with a temperature gradient are subjected to a force in the opposite direction to the gradient, a phenomenon known as thermophoresis.
Wherein D isT,PThe thermophoretic coefficient.
Meanwhile, for submicron particles, the influence of brownian motion may optionally be included in the additional force term. The component of the brownian force is modeled as a gaussian white noise process with spectral strength:

wherein T is the absolute temperature of the fluid, v is the kinematic viscosity, Cc is the Canning correction, kBBoltzmann constant.
S2, developing tetrahedral grid and wedge-shaped grid units based on implicit time integration, and setting boundary conditions and initial conditions of fluid and nano particles; the pore wall surface is a fixed wall surface without a slip interface (figure 2), particle collision has reflectivity, and the wall surface reflection coefficient is divided into a normal coefficient and a tangential coefficient. The normal contact force between particle collisions is based on the spring-dashpot model, while the tangential contact force between particle collisions is calculated using the sticking and sliding friction coefficients; the mesh of the model is divided into structured mesh and unstructured mesh (fig. 3), and the mesh fineness is divided based on the particle collision randomness; tetrahedral meshes are body meshes that are used primarily for fluid flow and particle migration, and wedge meshes are used as boundary meshes to more accurately distinguish boundary layer contacts and collisions. In addition, grid independence calculation is performed to ensure accurate and effective capture of particle motion characteristics by grid division (fig. 4).
Under the conditions of horizontal wells and vertical wells, the gravity direction is vertical to the shale bedding surface, so that the influence of the fluid on the shale pores is different. Firstly, analyzing shale pore microscopic pictures vertical to a bedding surface and parallel to the bedding surface based on a scanning electron microscope experiment, and summarizing the porosity ratio between the bedding surfaces based on statistical data, thereby determining the total fluid amount and the particle entering amount of a vertical well and a horizontal well. In addition, based on permeability experiments, the permeability of the model perpendicular to the bedding plane and the permeability parallel to the bedding plane are determined through testing, and the porosity circulation degree in the model is set through reverse verification based on the permeability ratio. Based on the above experiments and parameters, the particle dynamic stacking number under different well conditions is calculated through the particle drag force formula in S1 and the mesh setting suitable for the model.
The particle packing model, trajectory equations, and any ancillary equations describing the heat or mass transfer of the particles are implemented by stepwise integration over discrete time steps. The velocity of the particle at each point on the trajectory, and its trajectory, can be calculated from the following equation:
a includes accelerations due to all other factors except resistance.
For implicit and trapezoidal schemes, the position of the new particle is always computed by the trapezoidal discretization:
the particle position and velocity can be calculated by the Runge-Kutta framework, and the original ordinary differential equation can be regarded as a vector, where the derivative is on the left and an arbitrary function is on the right.
Wherein the parameter a2～a6，B21～b65And c1～c6Obtained by Cash and Karp theories, the above calculation scheme providesAn embedded error control is provided that will shut down when the "accuracy control" is not enabled. For a motion reference system, the integration is performed in the motion system, and the particle force accounts for the force extra term in the motion equation, thus taking into account the system rotation. At the same time, using mechanisms that can be used for precision control, trajectory integration will be completed accurately in time.
The above calculation method may not be accurate in cases where there are large steps of particle motion and where the particles are not in hydrodynamic equilibrium with the continuous flow. Implicit and trapezoidal numerical schemes are combined with automatic tracking of the particles, most of the changes of the force acting on the particles are considered, and the method has high adaptability.
The discrete element method is based on the Cundall and Strack theory, which explains the forces generated by particle collisions. Other forces to which the particles are subjected
And (6) determining. The particle impact force is determined by the morphology of the particles, and the degree of deformation depends on the overlap between the particles.
The particle friction is based on the friction-collision method, whereas the law of friction-collision is based on the coulomb friction equation,
wherein, mu is a friction coefficient,
refers to a force normal to the surface. The direction of the frictional force is opposite to the relative tangential movement and may or may not impede the relative tangential movement, depending on: the magnitude of the tangential momentum and the magnitude of other tangential forces (e.g., the tangential components due to gravity and drag).
The friction coefficient is a function of the magnitude of the relative tangential velocity based on different velocity criteria:

Additional force item
But also forces on the particles due to the rotation of the reference frame. When modeling the moving frame, particle rotational forces are generated. For a rotation defined around the z-axis, the forces on the particle in the cartesian x and y directions can be written as
Wherein the particle and fluid velocities in the Cartesian y-direction are u, respectivelyp,yAnd uyAnd the particle and fluid velocities in the Cartesian x-direction are u, respectivelyp,xAnd ux。
S4, taking the viscosity of the filtrate of the drilling fluid as the fluid viscosity, and calculating the influence of the parameters (particle size, concentration, speed, dispersion, grading proportion, gravity, rotation, material density, shape and roughness) of the nanoparticles on the plugging efficiency of the shale pores under different fluid viscosities; first, particles are released from an initial position, the diameters of the released particles are different, the diameters of the particles are randomly divided into 10 or more, and the average diameter of the particles can be set. When particles enter the pore channel along with the fluid, the particles move forwards along with the fluid, then the particles are released continuously, when the particles in the pores gradually increase, the particles collide with each other, and the particles can also collide with the wall surface. Each step of particle movement, including speed, trajectory and pressure, is recorded by the system, as is wall pressure. When the plugging calculation is finished, the particle motion trajectory and the velocity thereof can be reproduced by using image post-processing software. As can be seen from fig. 5, since the particle release area is above the circular aperture, most of the particles hit the outlet cylinder, which is shown in the cloud above the outlet cylinder in red. But the outlet size is smaller than the inlet size, so that the particles rebound and collide with the particles behind, and then move towards the outlet direction together, and the outlet begins to be blocked along with the increase of the particles. The real-time movement track, speed and particle accumulation condition of the particles can be calculated and visualized in three dimensions through a model.

The exit pressure loss was monitored by setting the model and particle concentration and was 53.4Pa for the same particle packing thickness when the average plug porosity was 0.5 according to the Kozeny-Carman formula. During the simulation calculation, a pressure loss of 52.28Pa was monitored. Releasing particles with different concentrations and sizes, and monitoring the pressure loss of an outlet when the plugging porosity is different, wherein the calculated pressure loss is consistent with the simulated pressure loss (figure 6) as a result;
experimental verification section: the model is consistent with the Kozeny-Carman formula in the calculation of pressure loss of solid particle packing, and the reliability of the model is proved.
