Description

Visual simulation method and tool for migration of fracturing propping agent of true triaxial horizontal well
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of hydraulic fracturing indoor physical simulation tests, and particularly relates to a visual simulation method and tool for migration of a fracturing propping agent of a true triaxial horizontal well.
Background
The horizontal well technology is combined with the multi-section multi-cluster fracturing technology to realize the economic development of unconventional oil and gas. In hydraulic fracturing, a ground high-pressure pump set is used for transmitting pressure to a reservoir through fracturing fluid, and when the pressure in a shaft rises to the fracture pressure of the reservoir, the reservoir can form cracks. The fracture will continue to propagate in length and width as well as in height as the injection of fracturing fluid continues. After the fracture is formed, a sand-carrying fluid mixed with a proppant is injected into the fracture. After the pump is stopped, the fracture cannot be completely closed under the action of the propping agent, so that an oil-gas flowing high-speed channel with certain flow conductivity is formed. Migration and distribution rules of the proppant in the fracture are important factors influencing the fracture conductivity. Since the placement of proppant cannot be directly observed in the formation, laboratory experiments have become the primary means of studying proppant transport and distribution.
At present, the experimental method for studying the migration and distribution rule of the proppant mainly uses a transparent flat plate gap or a resin material reverse mold to simulate a hydraulic fracture, and sand-carrying liquid is injected into the simulated fracture to simulate the migration and distribution of the proppant in the fracture, such as the experimental methods and equipment disclosed in application numbers CN113338920A and CN 202110289578.3.
However, the above method has certain problems. Firstly, the fracture is a flat plate, and the shape, roughness and other parameters of the real fracture in the stratum cannot be really reduced. Secondly, the fracture is preset, the sand carrying liquid is only used for carrying sand without a fracture forming function, and fracture expansion and proppant migration cannot be simulated synchronously. And thirdly, the stress of the crack is in a uniaxial stress state, and the stress state is greatly different from the stress state of the real stratum. And therefore have greater limitations.
