AbstractHydraulic fracturing is an important technical means to improve the development effect of low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs. However, for low pressure, low-permeability, tight, and high-clay sandstone gas reservoirs, conventional propped fracturing can cause serious damage to the reservoir and restrict the fracturing effect. The pre-acid fracturing technology combines acid treatment technology with sand-fracturing technology. A pre-acid system that meets special performance requirements is injected before fracturing. The pre-acid reduces the formation fracture pressure and removes clay damage. During acid flowback, the fracturing fluid is promoted to break the gel, dissolve the fracturing fluid residue and polymer filter cake, clean the supporting cracks, and effectively improve the fracturing effect. This study analyzes the process principle and technical advantages of the pre-acid fracturing technology based on the laboratory evaluation of the fracturing damage mechanism of low-permeability tight gas reservoirs. To meet the performance requirements of low-permeability tight gas reservoirs and pre-acid fracturing technology, a set of polyhydrogen acid system with long-lasting slow reactivity, low damage, and low corrosion was developed and used as the pre-fracturing acid. The acid system is mainly composed of the main agent SA601 and the auxiliary agent SA701. Then, on the basis of laboratory experiments, this acid system is used as the fracturing pre-acid to evaluate the fracturing improvement effect. The results show that the fracturing fluid system can better dissolve the fracturing fluid filter cake and remove the fracturing fluid damage.

Abstract All reservoirs are fractured to some degree. Depending on the density, dimension, orientation and the cementation of natural fractures and the location where the hydraulic fracturing is done, preexisting natural fractures can impact hydraulic fracture propagation and the associated flow capacity. Understanding the interactions between hydraulic fracture and natural fractures is crucial in estimating fracture complexity, stimulated reservoir volume, drained reservoir volume and completion efficiency. However, because of the presence of natural fractures with diffuse penetration and different orientations, the operation is complicated in naturally fractured gas reservoirs. For this purpose, two numerical methods are proposed for simulating the hydraulic fracture in a naturally fractured gas reservoir. However, what hydraulic fracture looks like in the subsurface, especially in unconventional reservoirs, remain elusive, and many times, field observations contradict our common beliefs. In this study, the hydraulic fracture model is considered in terms of the state of tensions, on the interaction between the hydraulic fracture and the natural fracture (45°), and the effect of length and height of hydraulic fracture developed and how to distribute induced stress around the well. In order to determine the direction in which the hydraulic fracture is formed strikethrough, the finite difference method and the individual element for numerical solution are used and simulated. The results indicate that the optimum hydraulic fracture time was when the hydraulic fracture is able to connect natural fractures with large streams and connected to the well, and there is a fundamental difference between the tensile and shear opening. The analysis indicates that the growing hydraulic fracture, the tensile and shear stresses applied to the natural fracture.

Low Permeability Reservoirs

Low-permeability gas reservoirs are influenced by slippage effect (Klinkenberg effect) , which leads to the different of gas in low-permeability and conventional reservoirs. According to the mechanism and mathematical model of slippage effect, the pressure distribution and flow state of flow in low-permeability gas reservoirs, and the capacity of low-permeability gas well are simulated by using the actual production datum.
