True 3D Fracture Simulation with Geology-engineering Integration of Volume Modification in Jimsar Shale Oil
Abstract
The main characteristics of Jimsar shale oil reservoir are of complex structure, strong heterogeneity and great difficulty in fracturing. It is mainly produced by volume fracturing technology, which is easy to form complex fracture networks. At present, the design and parameter optimization of fracturing scheme are not targeted, and the true 3D fracture simulation with geology-engineering integration is particularly important. On the basis of 3D geological modeling, the 3D geo-mechanical parameter distribution is determined by seismic data, logging data, experimental data, etc to simulate the stress environment in which the overburden pressure, surrounding rock pressure and lower strata pressure. And the 3D geo-mechanical parameter model is established by combining simulated analysis of the stress. On the basis of geological model, geomechanical model and natural fracture model, the natural fractures and faults determined by seismic, logging or discrete fracture modeling are integrated into the geomechanical model to complete the true 3D simulation of artificial fracture network based on true 3D geo-mechanical model. This simulation is the practice and improvement of the geology-engineering integration of shale oil reservoirs volume modification technology in Jimsar, which will deepen the geological understanding and strengthens the engineering technology supporting, provides reference basis for the optimization design of fracturing process and the maximization of the volume, and finally realizes the efficient development of shale oil in Jimsar.
