Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to the field of fracking.
- the present disclosure relates to the field of shock/blast wave assisted fracking of petroleum wells. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to in-situ generation of Shockwaves for expanding the cracks present within a petroleum well, as well as creating new cracks therein.
- Fracking is the process of creating cracks/fissures in a controlled manner, on the inner surface of deep wells.
- the process of fracking also incorporates enhancing/extending already existing cracks/fissures of deep wells.
- lateral cracks are required to be created deep down in the petroleum well in order to ensure the flow of a reasonable amount of crude oil/gas.
- the cracks/fissures act as a conduit for the flow of raw oil/gas into the petroleum well.
- hydrofracking also referred to as hydrofracturing or hydraulic fracturing. Hydrofracking is typically performed in order to enhance the yield/output of an petroleum well.
- the pressurized water used during the process of hydrofracking is typically induced with additives such as sand, proppants and the like. Therefore, there are high probabilities that the water used for hydrofracking, which is contaminated with sand and proppants reaches underground water reserves and pollutes them.
- An object of the present disclosure is to provide an environment friendly alternative to hydrofracking.
- Another object of the present disclosure is to provide an efficient and alternate method for replenishing depleted petroleum wells.
- Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a method for enhancing crack formation by heating fracking fluid using one of microwave generator and electrical heater.
- One more object of the present disclosure is to provide a system and method that enables crack propagation only in a lateral direction, inside the petroleum well.
- Still a further object of the present disclosure is to provide a method that efficiently addresses the issue of underground water contamination commonly witnessed during the process of hydrofracking.
- One more object of the present disclosure is to provide a method that enables the creation of cracks and fissures to be efficiently controlled.
- Still a further object of the present disclosure is to provide a method and system that enables the direction of enhancement/elongation of cracks/fissures to be effectively controlled.
- the present disclosure envisages a shock/blast wave assisted fracking method which includes explosive heating of a fracking fluid.
- the term 'explosive heating' refers to the phenomenon of heating a liquid material beyond its boiling point, and maintaining the liquid material at a predetermined high temperature beyond the boiling point thereof, thereby converting the liquid material into high-pressure vapors.
- the method envisaged by the present disclosure while providing an eco- friendly alternative to the hydrofracking method, also ensures that underground water resources are not contaminated during the fracking process/method. Further, the shock/blast wave assisted fracking method envisaged by the present disclosure also ensures that there is no excessive usage of water resources contrary to the process of hydrofracking which requires a huge quantity of water to be filled up in the well in a pressurized state.
- the shock/blast wave assisted method for expanding surface cracks of petroleum well includes heating the fracking fluid to generate high pressure steam which further results in the formation of Shockwaves.
- the fracking fluid is heated using one of an electrical heater, a laser generator and a microwave generator.
- a plurality of (pilot) cracks are created on the inner circumference of the petroleum well.
- a chamber is aligned along the inner circumference of the petroleum well.
- a plurality of heater coils are incorporated within the chamber, and the chamber is filled with fracking fluid, for example, brine solution.
- the heater coils within the chamber are heated to a predetermined temperature -preferably beyond the boiling point of the brine solution- such that the brine solution which is in contact with the heater coils heats up and transforms into high pressure steam.
- the high pressure steam is subsequently directed through a plurality of fast actuating valves located (at predetermined locations) within the chamber.
- the rapid flow/release of the steam through the fast actuating valves results in creation of high velocity shock waves/blast waves.
- the shock waves/blast waves are directed onto the cracks of the petroleum well, thereby causing the cracks to expand and further causing the formation of new cracks on the inner surface of the petroleum well.
- the shock waves/blast waves travel outward in all directions from the fast actuating valves, moving at (preferably) a near detonation velocity, and rupturing the rock formation surrounding the bore hole (of the petroleum well).
- the force/pressure of the shock waves/blast waves travelling outwards from the fast actuating valves typically exceed the compression strengths of the surrounding rock formation, thereby causing the rock formation to bend forward and crack.
- the force/pressure of the shock waves/blast waves creates new cracks and widens already existing cracks. Cracks thus generated are radial in the sense that they radiate out from the borehole. Further, any cracks, previously present are widened in radial direction subsequent to the propagation of shock waves/blast waves. Further, the shock waves/blast waves propagating through the petroleum well are typically reflected back into the rock formation as tension waves. The reflected tension waves create lateral cracking in the rock formation, between the radial cracks.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un procédé de fracturation assistée par ondes de choc/explosion, qui consiste à chauffer par explosion un fluide de fracturation. Le procédé consiste à chauffer la solution de saumure à l'aide soit d'un dispositif de chauffage électrique, soit de faisceaux laser, soit de générateurs de micro-ondes. Une chambre comprenant une pluralité de fissures témoins est remplie de la solution de saumure. Le fluide de saumure peut être chauffé à l'aide d'une pluralité de bobines électriques ou d'un générateur de faisceaux laser ou d'un générateur de micro-ondes. La mise en ébullition de la solution de saumure entraîne la formation de vapeur à haute pression qui est ensuite dirigée vers les fissures présentes à l'intérieur du puits de pétrole à travers une pluralité de soupapes. L'écoulement/libération rapide de la vapeur à travers les soupapes entraîne la création d'ondes de choc/d'ondes d'explosion. Les ondes de choc sont appliquées sur les fissures existantes, induisant ainsi une propagation des fissures.
