The Numerical Simulation Analysis of Crack Propagation Law under Riverfrac Treatment MultiField Coupling
Li Shibin, Li Lei, Zhang Ligang
Using the indoor experimental test, the intervals shale reservoir physical parameters, the rock mechanics parameters and the natural fracture distribution characteristic parameters were studied, and the constitutive models of stress fielddamage fieldseepage field coupling and the failure criteria of the defective rock mass in the process of riverfrac treatment were established. Through the finite element numerical simulation by the softwareComsol, the crack propagation law of formation respectively under tensile and compressive shear stress was analyzed, when the natural fracture system opens, hydraulic fracturing of shale reservoir artificial fracture network can be formed. When hydraulic fracture extended to natural fracture, there has been a marked increase the width of cracks, and hydraulic fracture direction changes, one of the wings extended along the natural fracture on the wing, the other one wing does not. There is obvious mutual interference between natural fracture. Process of multi cracks is developed from a small to a large crack fracture, the final number of cracks depends on the connectivity between the cracks; stress, natural fracture, perforation interval, perforation, dip, construction flow and liquid viscosity, are the main factors that influence the formation of multi cracks.
