沁南郑庄区块煤层气水平井采收率预测及提高对策

Prediction of estimate ultimate recoverable of coalbed methane horizontal wells in Zhengzhuang block of Qinshui Basin and technical countermeasures for enhancing recovery rate

  • 摘要: 单支套管分段压裂水平井目前已成为郑庄区块主体开发井型。但目前表现为单井产量差异大,局部产量递减快、最终采收率低的特点,给老区持续开发调整带来极大挑战。基于郑庄区块水平井开发实践,结合地质特征、工程参数与水平井排采规律,通过数值模拟软件,预测煤层气最终可采储量;从地质、工程、排采多方面分析了单井最终可采储量(estimated ultimate recovery,EUR)影响因素,在此基础上针对性提出了提高采收率技术对策。结果表明:郑庄区块前期水平井预计EUR介于32×104~3 804×104 m3,单井采收率1%~62%,平面上呈现南高北低的分布格局。煤层气井采收率受到地质条件、压裂规模、排采方式等因素综合控制。地质条件中优质煤层段长度、主应力方向、煤体结构等对EUR及采收率影响显著:优质煤层段越长,井控储量越大,采收率呈先增加后减小的趋势,存在最佳水平段长度可实现单井采收率与成本效益最大化;当井眼轨迹与主应力方向近似垂直时,单井EUR明显高于平行主应力方向水平井,利于实现缝控储量最大化;煤体结构破碎区,煤泥产出量越大,煤粉易堵塞产出裂缝通道导致产量快速下降,单井采收率降低。压裂规模对中深层区域水平井控制作用显著,同一井组大规模大排量压裂水平井EUR(2 500×104 m3)明显高于中小规模压裂水平井(1 000×104~1 700×104 m3)。排采速度过快会导致储层应力敏感,产量快速降低、单井EUR降低20.6%。根据水平井地质条件、最终可采储量、采收率、煤粉产出程度等指标,将研究区水平井划分为高采出程度井、低渗高应力区新井、煤粉砂堵低效井以及排采制度不合理井等4种类型。针对不同类型,提出差异化的技术对策,达到减缓递减、提高最终采收率的目的。针对低渗高应力区新井,采用大规模压裂,扩展压裂改造范围,实现储层有效改造,提高采出程度,水平井初始年递减率降低12.4%,单井EUR整体提升到2 500×104 m3以上,采收率提升6%~21%;针对煤体结构破碎导致煤粉产出通道堵塞的低效井,采用泡沫洗井、氮气增渗工艺,解除井眼堵塞,恢复单井产能,单井EUR提升500×104 m3以上,单井采收率提升10.6%;针对排采制度不合理导致产能无法完全释放的生产井,依据流动物质平衡法及时优化排采制度,避免提产过快造成应力敏感导致最终可采储量降低。

     

    Abstract: The single-casing segmented-fracturing horizontal well has currently become the main development well type in the Zhengzhuang block. However, it is currently characterized by large differences in single-well production, rapid local production decline, and low ultimate recovery rate, which poses a great challenge to the continuous development and adjustment of the old area. Based on the development practice of horizontal wells in the Zhengzhuang block, combined with geological features, engineering parameters, and the drainage and production laws of horizontal wells, the ultimate recoverable reserves of coalbed methane were predicted through numerical simulation software. The influencing factors of single-well estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) were analyzed from multiple aspects such as geology, engineering, and drainage and production. On this basis, targeted technical countermeasures to improve recovery rate were proposed. The results show that EUR of the early horizontal wells in the Zhengzhuang block range from 32 to 38.04 million cubic meters, with a single-well recovery rate of 1% to 62%, and a distribution pattern of high in the south and low in the north on the plane. The recovery rate of coalbed methane wells is comprehensively controlled by geological conditions, fracturing scale, drainage and production methods, etc. Among the geological conditions, the length of high-quality coal seam sections, the orientation of principal stress, and the coal body structure have a significant impact on EUR and recovery rate: the longer the high-quality coal seam section, the larger the controlled reserves of the well, and the recovery rate shows a trend of increasing first and then decreasing, with an optimal horizontal section length that can maximize the single-well recovery rate and cost-effectiveness; when the wellbore trajectory is approximately perpendicular to the principal stress direction, the single-well EUR is significantly higher than that of horizontal wells parallel to the principal stress direction, which is conducive to maximizing the controlled reserves of fractures. In the coal body structure's fragmented area, the greater the coal mud output, the more likely the coal powder is to block the production fracture channels, causing rapid production decline and a decrease in the single-well recovery rate. The fracturing scale has a significant control effect on the middle and deep horizontal wells in the area. The EUR of large-scale and high-volume fracturing horizontal wells in the same well group (25 million cubic meters) is significantly higher than that of medium and small-scale fracturing horizontal wells (10 to 17 million cubic meters). Excessive drainage and production speed can cause reservoir stress sensitivity, rapid production decline, and a 20.6% reduction in single-well EUR. Based on the geological conditions, ultimate recoverable reserves, recovery rate, and coal powder output degree of horizontal wells, the horizontal wells in the area are classified into four types: high recovery wells, new wells in low-permeability and high-stress areas, low-efficiency wells with coal powder and sand blockage, and wells with unreasonable drainage and production systems. For different types, differentiated technical countermeasures are proposed to achieve the goal of slowing down the decline and improving the ultimate recovery rate. For new wells in low-permeability and high-stress areas, large-scale fracturing is adopted to expand the range of fracturing modification and effectively modify the reservoir, increasing the recovery rate. The initial annual decline rate of horizontal wells is reduced by 12.4%, and the single-well EUR is generally increased to over 25 million cubic meters, with a recovery rate increase of 6% to 21%. For low-efficiency wells with coal powder and sand blockage caused by the fragmentation of the coal body structure, foam well washing and nitrogen gas permeability enhancement techniques are used to remove wellbore blockages and restore single-well productivity, increasing the single-well EUR by more than 5 million cubic meters and the single-well recovery rate by 10.6%. For production wells with unreasonable drainage and production systems that cannot fully release productivity, the drainage and production systems are timely optimized based on the material balance method of flowing substances to avoid rapid production increase causing stress sensitivity and reducing the ultimate recoverable reserves.
