The specific experimental operation steps comprise:
step 1, taking a natural core column from a carbonate stratum, splitting the core column, and winding gaskets with different widths by iron wires to simulate carbonate natural cracks with different underground seam widths;
step 2, measuring the diameter D and the length L of the rock sample by using a vernier caliper;
step 3, the process of filling the sinking agent material into the carbonate rock natural fracture core column is a simulated particle free sedimentation process, free stacking is carried out among particles, a filled core is put into the first core holder, the first core holder is placed vertically to simulate the form of an underground natural fracture, and then the confining pressure of the first core holder is regulated to 15MPa;
step 4, adding simulated formation water (8% wtKCl) into an intermediate container of the dynamic stability seepage evaluation instrument in fig. 2, vertically placing the second core holder, simulating the sedimentation of a sinking agent in a crack, setting the initial inlet pressure to be 1MPa, opening a circulation system, observing the pressure change of the pressure sensor, and observing whether fracturing fluid flows into the filtrate collection tank; if the inlet pressure is stable and the filtrate is small or none, the blocking pressure-bearing capacity of the sinking agent is larger than the displacement pressure at the moment;
and 5, setting the pressure gradient to be 1MPa, and carrying out gradient boosting, wherein each pressure point is kept for 10min. When the inlet pressure is gradually increased from 0 to 7MPa, no filtrate flows out of the outlet section, so that the pressure bearing and compactness of the artificial interlayer shielding of the sinking agent are better; when the inlet pressure is continuously increased to 8-9 MPa, filtrate slowly flows out from the outlet end, the filtration rate is 0.033-0.034 ml/min, and the flow rate of the liquid at the outlet end is stable; after the pressure of the inlet end is continuously increased, the filtration stall rate is steadily increased, and when the filtration stall rates are respectively increased to 10MPa, the filtration loss rate is 0.088ml/min; when the pressure is raised to 11MPa, the filtration rate is 0.334ml/min; when the pressure is raised to 12MPa, the filtration rate is 0.600ml/min; when the pressure is raised to 13MPa, the filtration rate is 0.865ml/min; at this time, the inlet end has reached the maximum measurable pressure, but the artificial barrier shielding of the sinking agent is still not broken through, and the ultimate bearing capacity is not reached. Therefore, under the condition of 1.5mm seam width, the bearing capacity of the consolidation-degradable organic solid particle type sinking agent is more than or equal to 13MPa;
step 6, replacing carbonate rock natural fracture cores with different fracture widths, when the fracture width is 3mm, operating the steps as above, starting increasing from an initial pressure of 1MPa, pressurizing 1MPa each time, and stabilizing for 10min;
step 7, when the inlet pressure is gradually increased from 0 to 6MPa, the outlet section does not flow out filtrate, and the pressure bearing and compactness of the artificial interlayer shielding of the sinking agent are better; when the inlet pressure is continuously increased to 7-9 MPa, filtrate slowly flows out from the outlet end, the flow rate of the outlet end is stable under each inlet pressure stage, but the filtration rate is slowly increased along with the increase of the pressure of the inlet end, and is respectively 0.021ml/min, 0.037ml/min and 0.045ml/min; when the inlet pressure is continuously increased to 10MPa, the filter loss of the outlet end is suddenly increased, the filter stall rate reaches 2.050ml/min within 0-1 min, and the filter stall rate is increased to 8.16ml/min within 1-3 min. The artificial interlayer shielding of the sinking agent is broken through, the filtration stall rate is suddenly increased, and the artificial shielding limit bearing capacity of the sinking agent is reached. Therefore, under the condition of 3mm seam width, the limit bearing capacity of the consolidation-degradable organic solid particle type sinking agent is considered to be more than 9MPa;
step 8, replacing natural fracture cores with different fracture widths, when the fracture width is 4mm, operating steps are the same as above, starting increasing from 1MPa initial pressure, pressurizing 1MPa each time and stabilizing for 10min;
step 9, when the inlet pressure is gradually increased from 0 to 4MPa, the outlet section does not flow out of filtrate, and the pressure bearing and compactness of the artificial interlayer shielding of the sinking agent are better; when the inlet pressure is continuously increased to 5-6 MPa, filtrate slowly flows out from the outlet end, the flow rate of the outlet end is stable in each inlet pressure stage, but the filtration rate is slowly increased along with the increase of the pressure of the inlet end, and is respectively 0.024ml/min and 0.041ml/min; when the inlet pressure is continuously increased to 7MPa, the filter loss of the outlet end is suddenly increased, the filter stall rate reaches 3.445ml/min within 0-2 minutes, and the filter stall rate is increased to 5.180ml/min within 2-4 minutes. The artificial interlayer shielding of the sinking agent is broken through, the filtration stall rate is suddenly increased, and the artificial shielding limit bearing capacity of the sinking agent is reached. Therefore, under the condition of 4mm seam width, the limit bearing capacity of the consolidation-degradable organic solid particle type sinking agent is considered to be more than 6MPa;
step 10, replacing carbonate rock natural fracture cores with different fracture widths, when the fracture width is 5mm, operating the steps as above, starting increasing from an initial pressure of 1MPa, pressurizing 1MPa each time and stabilizing for 10min;
step 11, when the inlet pressure is gradually increased from 0 to 3MPa, the outlet section does not flow out filtrate, and the pressure bearing and compactness of the artificial interlayer shielding of the sinking agent are better; when the inlet pressure is continuously increased to 4-5 MPa, filtrate slowly flows out from the outlet end, the flow rate of the outlet end is stable in each inlet pressure stage, but the filtration rate is slowly increased along with the increase of the pressure of the inlet end, and is respectively 0.057ml/min and 0.062ml/min; when the inlet pressure is continuously increased to 6MPa, the filter loss of the outlet end is suddenly increased, the filter stall rate reaches 3.615ml/min within 0-2 minutes, and the filter stall rate is increased to 8.890ml/min within 2-4 minutes. At the moment, the shielding of the artificial interlayer of the sinking agent is broken through, the filtration stall rate is suddenly increased, and the artificial shielding limit bearing capacity of the sinking agent is reached. Therefore, under the condition of 5mm seam width, the limit bearing capacity of the consolidation-degradable organic solid particle type sinking agent is considered to be more than 5MPa;
step 12, evaluating the pressure-bearing strength and fluid loss performance of the artificial interlayer under the action of the closing stress through an artificial interlayer pressure-bearing test experiment under the action of the closing stress;
step 13, taking out gaskets of the cores with different seam widths, testing the artificial interlayer bearing experiment under the action of the closing stress, and evaluating the artificial interlayer bearing strength and the fluid loss performance under the action of the closing stress;
step 14, adding simulated formation water (8% wtKCl) into an intermediate container of a dynamic stable seepage evaluation instrument, vertically placing the second core holder, simulating the sedimentation of a sinking agent in a crack, opening a circulation system, observing the pressure change of the pressure sensor, and observing whether fracturing fluid flows into the filtrate collection tank; if the inlet pressure is stable and the filtrate is little or no, the blocking pressure-bearing capacity of the sinking agent is larger than the displacement pressure at the moment under the closing pressure;
and 15, raising the displacement pressure to 1MPa, and always keeping the confining pressure to be larger than the displacement pressure by 1.5MPa. Setting the pressure gradient to be 1MPa, carrying out gradient boosting, and keeping each pressure point for 5min;
step 16, under the action of closed stress, when the inlet pressure is gradually increased from 0 to 7MPa, no filtrate flows out of the outlet section, and the fact that the pressure bearing and compactness of the artificial interlayer shielding of the sinking agent are better is shown; continuously and synchronously increasing the closing stress and the inlet pressure, when the inlet pressure reaches 8MPa, the filtrate slowly flows out from the outlet end, the filtration rate is 0.46ml/min, and the flow of the liquid at the outlet end is stable; however, as the closing stress continues to increase, the pressure at the inlet end continues to increase (8-10 MPa), and the fluid loss rate is reduced from 0.46ml/min to 0.34ml/min; when the closing stress is continuously increased and the pressure at the inlet end is continuously increased to 11-13 MPa, the fluid loss rate is 0ml/min, no filtrate flows out of the outlet section at this time, and the pressure bearing and compactness of the artificial interlayer of the sinking agent are recovered. Analysis shows that the crack edge of the inlet end pressure (8-10 MPa) can possibly show signs of blocking breakthrough of the sinking agent, but the blocking breakthrough is restrained and the blocking effect is recovered along with the continuous increase of the closing stress. Therefore, the shielding effect of the sinking agent in the seam width of 2mm under the action of the closing stress is considered to be good, and when the closing stress is more than 14.5MPa, the pressure bearing capacity of the organic solid particle type sinking agent is more than or equal to 13MPa;
step 17, measuring and evaluating the restoration of the fracture conductivity under the action of no acid etching;
step 18, placing the real core column after testing the bearing capacity into a high-temperature reaction kettle, setting the reaction temperature to 160 ℃ for simulating the formation temperature, and degrading for 12 hours;
and 19, taking out the core subjected to high-temperature degradation, then placing the core into a core holder, and testing the permeability of the core until the confining pressure is 2.5 MPa.
Step 20, a power supply of a advection pump is turned on, after five minutes of preheating, different flow rates are set, the pressure of the inlet end of the rock core is measured when the set flow rates are set, and the flow rate of the outlet end of the rock core is measured by a measuring cup and a stopwatch; and when the data of the pressure gauge tend to be stable and the outlet flow velocity is stable, recording the pressure and the flow at the moment, and calculating the rock diversion capacity. The statistical table of the experimental results of the permeability test of the core sinking agents with different slit widths after high-temperature degradation is shown in table 1:
table 1 statistical table of experimental results of permeability test of core sinkers with different slit widths after high-temperature degradation
Step 21, the fracture conductivity decreases sharply with increasing closing stress, and the fracture conductivity is substantially lost when the closing stress increases above 20 MPa. Therefore, the wall surface of the crack is considered to be blocked by the sinking agent, when the wall surface of the crack is not etched by the acid liquor, the crack can lose the diversion capability under the action of the closing pressure after the degradation of the sinking agent, and the risk of communicating with a water layer is reduced.
In this embodiment, the average fracture conductivity of the rock sample can be determined by measuring three flow rates, and the permeability formula can be calculated from the following formula:
wherein, a=slit width w×rock plate (core) width D, a fracture conductivity evaluation formula can be deduced:
wherein,,representing the flow rate; />Indicating the viscosity of the liquid->Representing the length of the simulated core column sample; />Representing the width of a simulated core column sample; />Representing the displacement differential pressure.
Step 22, recovering and evaluating the flow conductivity of the crack after the residual acid acts;
step 23, padding copper sheets on two sides of the core column, winding the copper sheets by using iron wires, and hanging the copper sheets on two sides of a beaker; residual acid is stored in the beaker.
Step 24, circularly injecting the residual acid into the crack for 5 minutes, and simulating the residual acid to flow through the crack;
step 25, measuring the diversion capacity of the fracture core after acid etching, and carrying out recovery evaluation on the diversion capacity by the same steps; the statistics of the experimental results of the permeability test of the carbonate rock core after acid etching are shown in table 2:
table 2 statistical table of experimental results of permeability test after acid etching of carbonate core
Step 26, along with the increase of the closing stress, the fracture conductivity is sharply reduced, when the closing stress is increased to more than 10MPa, the fracture conductivity retention rate is only 13.41%, and when the closing stress is increased to more than 50MPa, the fracture conductivity retention rate is only 2.95%, but at the moment, the fracture conductivity is still much larger than that of the fracture conductivity without acid etching. Therefore, the crack wall surface subjected to acid etching by the residual acid is considered to have certain permeability, namely, the upper crack control reserve and the seepage channel are recovered in the longitudinal direction of the artificial interlayer, and the influence of the artificial interlayer on the acid etching seam height is reduced.
The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application, but all changes made by adopting the design principle of the present application and performing non-creative work on the basis thereof shall fall within the scope of the present application.
