DAMAGE MECHANICS DERIVED NATURAL FRACTURE CHARACTERIZATION AND GEOTHERMAL WELL PLACEMENT OPTIMIZATION: A CASE STUDY FROM THE JR BLOCK, HUABEI OILFIELD

  • 摘要: 天然裂缝是控制碳酸盐岩地热储层渗流与热传递的核心因素,储层裂缝网络连通性直接决定井组注采效能。该文以华北油田JR区块雾迷山组为研究对象,采用损伤力学方法实现储层天然裂缝分布的定量表征;在此基础上,构建力-热-流(THM)多场耦合有限元模型,模拟井组注采过程中的岩体变形、流体渗流与热量传递耦合行为,定量评价井间裂缝网络连通能力并完成优劣排序。基于上述方法,对JR井组18口井的注采能力开展定量计算与分析,结合注采井间隔布设、总流量平衡及注采井数比(1∶1、3∶2)约束条件,完成井位与注采功能优化。优化后,在既定注采泵压下实现井组注采流量整体平衡,总注水能力提升12.1%,总采水能力提升6.73%,注采总流量相对偏差由3.6%降至1.3%。研究表明:损伤力学与 THM 多场耦合数值模拟相结合,可为裂缝性碳酸盐岩地热储层天然裂缝精细表征与井组注采方案优化提供有效技术手段。该研究未考虑风化作用与酸化压裂引发的裂缝增强效应,相关影响将在后续研究中进一步完善。

     

    Abstract: Natural fractures play the critical role in controlling fluid flow and in the heat transfer in carbonate geothermal reservoirs, and the connectivity of fracture networks directly determines the injection-production performance of well groups. Taking the Wumishan Formation in the JR block of Huabei Oilfield as the research object, this study adopts the damage mechanics method to quantitatively characterize the distribution of natural fractures in the reservoir. On this basis, a thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) coupled finite element model is established to simulate the coupled deformation, seepage and heat transfer behaviors during well group injection-production, and to quantitatively evaluate the connectivity of inter-well fracture networks and to rank their performance. Based on the above methods, the injection-production capacities of 18 wells in the JR well group are calculated and analyzed quantitatively. Combined with the constraints of an alternate well arrangement, the total flow balance and the injection-production well ratio (1:1, 3:2), the well locations, and injection-production functions are optimized. After optimization, the overall balance of injection-production flow is achieved under the given injection-production pump pressure. The total water injection capacity and total water production capacity are increased by 12.1% and 6.73%, respectively, and the relative difference between total injection and production flow is reduced from 3.6% to 1.3%. The results show that the combination of damage mechanics and THM coupled numerical simulation provides an effective technical method for the fine characterization of natural fractures and for the optimization of injection-production schemes in fractured carbonate geothermal reservoirs. This study does not consider the fracture enhancement effects caused by weathering and acid fracturing, which will be further improved in future researches.
