Influence mechanism of hydraulic fracturing fracture propagation in deep shale gas reservoirs
It is difficult to explain the influence mechanism of hydraulic fracture propagation in deep shale gas reservoirs based on the current understanding of medium and shallow shale gas fracturing.In order to study the hydraulic fracturing fracture propagation mechanism of deep shale gas reservoirs in Sichuan Basin,LS1 platform in Luzhou deep shale gas area was selected as the research object to conduct numerical simulation and analysis of hydraulic fracturing fracture propagation based on the integration of geology and engineering.First,the geological model was established and geomechanical properties were defined according to the geological characteristics of the target well area reservoir in Luzhou block.Then,a discrete natural fracture network in accord with the structural characteristics of the real reservoir was built based on microseismic and ant body data.On this basis,a complex fracture propagation model is built based on DFN according to the actual construction data.The model is verified based on microseismic monitoring results.The influence characteristics of four single factors on reservoir stimulation volume are studied.The results can be used to guide the research of hydraulic fracturing complex fracture network in deep shale gas reservoirs.
