Description

Visual simulation method and device for migration of fracturing propping agent of true triaxial three-dimensional well pattern
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of hydraulic fracturing indoor physical simulation tests, and particularly relates to a method and a device for visually simulating migration of a fracturing propping agent of a true triaxial three-dimensional well pattern.
Background
When the reservoir is thick, fracturing a single horizontal well cannot achieve all vertical exploitation of the reservoir, and fracturing a stereoscopic well pattern can enable a vertical well to longitudinally exploit more layers and a horizontal well to laterally exploit more sections. When the three-dimensional well pattern is fractured, synchronous fracturing, sequential fracturing, zipper fracturing and other fracturing modes can be adopted. In general, a propping agent is brought into fractures during fracturing to prop the fractures, and under the action of stress interference, the fracture network structure of a three-dimensional well pattern is complex so as to increase the modification volume of a reservoir and further increase the oil and gas productivity. The tortuosity of a fracture network after the three-dimensional well pattern is fractured is higher, and the migration and the distribution of the propping agent in the complex fracture network are more complex. Since it is difficult to directly observe the movement of the proppant in a real formation, indoor experiments are the main means to study proppant transport and distribution.
At present, a visual experimental method for researching proppant migration indoors mainly utilizes parallel glass plates to simulate cracks, and the shape of the cracks is relatively regular; in addition, the existing experimental method for the migration of the true triaxial fracturing proppant mainly aims at a single horizontal well or a vertical well, and the migration rule and the distribution condition of the proppant in the fracturing process of the three-dimensional well pattern cannot be simulated under the two conditions.
Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the technical personnel in the field needs to be solved urgently, how to provide a visual simulation method and a visual simulation device for migration of a fracturing propping agent of a true triaxial three-dimensional well pattern, so that the visual simulation method and the visual simulation device can simulate a three-dimensional well pattern structure and stress conditions of a real stratum and study the real-time migration process of the propping agent in a fracture under the stress interference of multiple wells and multiple fractures.
