川南龙马溪组深层页岩气地质特征、甜点评价问题与技术对策
Geological Characteristics, Sweet Spot Evaluation Issues and Technical Countermeasures of Deep Longmaxi Formation Shale Gas in South Sichuan Basin

针对川南龙马溪组深层页岩气开发工程问题频发、建产不及预期等难题,通过地质特征分析、开发问题梳理与成因探讨,探索深层页岩气甜点评价技术对策.研究表明,川南龙马溪组深层(埋深>3 500 m)页岩气储层具有沉积相变复杂、断层裂缝与微幅构造发育、地应力高且复杂、高温高流体压力、局部低电阻等地质特征,储层非均质性与工程复杂性远高于中深层.利用现有页岩气甜点评价技术优选出的深层甜点区,开发中出现局部资源品质差、水平井套管变形率高达53%、井间压窜普遍、单井产能与经济效益未达预期等问题,核心原因是现有评价体系未充分考虑深层地应力差大、天然裂缝发育、低电阻资源风险等深层特有的地质‒工程耦合问题.据此,提出建立地质‒工程一体化页岩气甜点高精度“透明地质体”、建立以“人造气藏”为核心的动态甜点风险评价体系、采用两次井网分步释放地应力的开发方式,通过资源、工程多要素精细刻画页岩储层特点,动态量化评估甜点开发风险,同时采用两次井网的开发方式,分步骤释放地应力以解决套变的问题.研究成果可为川南等深层页岩气甜点评价与开发风险防控提供技术对策参考.
To address the frequent engineering problems and lower-than-expected construction and production in the development of deep shale gas in the Longmaxi Formation of South Sichuan, this study explores technical countermeasures for deep shale gas sweet spot evaluation through analysis of geological characteristics, sorting out development challenges and discussing their genesis.Results show that deep shale gas reservoirs (buried depth >3 500 m) of the Longmaxi Formation in South Sichuan are characterized by complex sedimentary facies changes, well-developed faults, fractures and micro-amplitude structures, high and complex in-situ stress, high temperature and high fluid pressure, and local low resistivity.The reservoir heterogeneity and engineering complexity are much higher than those of mid-deep layers. Deep sweet spots optimized by existing shale gas sweet spot evaluation technologies have encountered problems in development, including poor local resource quality, horizontal well casing deformation rate as high as 53%, widespread inter-well fracturing communication, and unsatisfied single-well productivity and economic benefits.The core reason is that the current evaluation system insufficiently considers the unique geological-engineering coupling problems of deep reservoirs, such as large in-situ stress difference, well-developed natural fractures, and low-resistivity resource risks. Accordingly, in this paper it proposes to establish a high-precision "transparent geological body" for shale gas sweet spots through geology-engineering integration, build a dynamic sweet spot risk evaluation system centered on "artificial gas reservoirs", and adopt a development mode of two-step well pattern deployment to release in-situ stress step by step. The shale reservoirs are finely characterized by multiple factors of resources and engineering, and the risks of sweet spot development are dynamically and quantitatively evaluated. Meanwhile, the two-step well pattern development mode is adopted to release in-situ stress gradually to solve casing deformation.The research results can provide technical references for sweet spot evaluation and development risk prevention and control of deep shale gas in South Sichuan and other similar areas.
