Parameter optimization and field practice of CO2 pre-fracturing process in Jimsar shale oil block
The shale oil of Lucaogou Formation in Jimsar Sag has the characteristics of extremely low original permeability and high viscosity of crude oil
making it uneconomical to produce under natural conditions. Field practices have demonstrated that dense drilling combined with high-intensity volume fracturing is one of the most effective means to achieve large-scale development of shale oil. However
how to slow down the decline rate of oil wells and improve the recovery rate per well remains a pressing issue to be addressed. From 2019 to 2022
the researches and field tests of CO
2
pre-fracturing assiste
d production technology were carried out in Jimsar shale oil block. The application effect of CO
2
pre-storage fracturing and CO
2
huff and puff in Jimsar shale oil block was systematically studied and analyzed. The results indicate that supercritical CO
2
has the effects of miscible energy increase
dissolution to improve reservoir conditions
improve imbibition replacement efficiency
and increase the complexity of fracture network. The optimal injection volume
injection speed
and injection methods were determined
and a preliminary technological system for CO
2
pre-fracturing in shale oil reservoirs was established. According to the prediction of production data
the CO
2
pre-fracturing process can increase the final recovery rate by about 20%
which provides a reference for realizing the benefit development of shale oil and improving the development effect of other types of shale reservoirs.
