Testing and selection techniques of horizontal wells in Weirong Shale Gas Field
The successful development experience at home and abroad shows that fracturing is an important step to realize shale gas development
and testing selection is the most critical step in the preliminary work of fracturing. The quality of the selection determines the effect of fracturing. Taking Weirong Shale Gas Field platform wells as the research object
according to the characteristics of the basic data of the early evaluation wells and the later development wells
and combined with the principle of testing selection
the later development well selection ideas are deepened. And the development well data is rationally utilized from four aspects
which are the trajectory
geology
engineering and fracture prediction
forming a geological-engineering integration technology of shale gas horizontal well testing selection in"five steps"of trajectory evaluation
geological parameter evaluation
engineering parameter evaluation
fracture prediction
and comprehensive segmentation. The test open flow rate of development wells obtained by this technology is increased by about 1~2 times compared with the previous evaluation wells
saving 40 % of the project time. Field tests show that this technology has certain guiding significance for improving the beneficial development of deep shale gas.
