甲烷燃爆荷载作用下岩石破裂的近场动力学模拟

Peridynamic simulation of rock fracturing under effect of methane deflagration loading

  • 摘要: 甲烷燃爆压裂技术主要利用储层原位解吸的甲烷与助燃剂燃爆产生的高温高压气体冲击压裂储层,构造复杂裂隙网络。揭示燃爆荷载作用下岩石的破裂特征对改善燃爆施工工艺具有重要作用。为克服传统数值计算方法在计算燃爆压裂裂纹扩展问题时存在的奇异性和网格依赖性等难题,基于小变形假设,利用近场动力学差分算子重构了普通态基近场动力学键力密度矢量,避免了传统普通态基近场动力学模型的表面效应和体积修正;建立了甲烷燃爆荷载作用下岩石破裂的普通态基近场动力学模型,分析了燃爆荷载的升压速率、降压速率和地应力分布对燃爆压裂效果的影响。结果表明:地应力分布对燃爆裂纹扩展特征具有重要影响,初始最大应力方向是甲烷燃爆压裂裂纹扩展的优势方向;随着侧压系数降低,甲烷燃爆压裂最大半径随之增大,但裂纹数量和总损伤值显著降低;随着甲烷燃爆压力升压速率增加,孔壁周围产生更多的初始裂纹,已形成的初始径向裂纹会分叉形成环形次生裂纹,但致裂范围逐渐减小;甲烷燃爆压裂初始裂纹主要在燃爆压力升压阶段形成,降压阶段的压力主要用于已有裂纹的扩展,且随着降压速率降低,甲烷燃爆压裂范围会不断增大。研究结果对优化甲烷燃爆钻孔布置以及提高甲烷燃爆压裂效果具有较好的指导作用。

     

    Abstract: The methane deflagration fracturing technology impacts and fractures the reservoirs and generates the complicated fracture network by the high-pressure and high-temperature gas, which is generated from the deflagrations of methane desorbed from in-situ reservoirs with the aid of combustion improver. It is important for improving the methane deflagration construction technology to realize the fracturing characteristics of rocks under the effect of deflagration loading. To overcome the difficulties of singularity and meshing-dependence in traditional numerical calculation methods for calculating the crack propagation problems of deflagration fracturing, based on the assumption of small deformation, the bond force vector in the ordinary state-based peridynamic model is rebuilt by using the peridynamic differential operator. The surface effect and volume correction in the classical ordinary state-based peridynamic model are avoided. Then the ordinary state-based peridynamic model of the rock fracturing under the effect of methane deflagration loading is built. The effects of the increase rate, decrease rate of deflagration loading, and the geo-stress distribution on the failure pattern are analyzed. The results show that, the distribution of geo-stress has a significant impact on the crack propagation characteristics of deflagration fracturing. The direction of the initial maximum stress is the dominating direction of crack propagation for the methane deflagration fracturing. With the decrease of the lateral pressure coefficient, the maximum fracturing radius of methane deflagration also increases, but the crack number and the total damage value decrease obviously. With the increase of the methane deflagration pressure increase rate, more initial cracks were generated around the wellbore and the formed initial radial cracks bifurcate and form circumferential secondary cracks, but the fracturing range of methane deflagration decreases. The initial cracks for methane deflagration fracturing mainly be formed during the pressure increase stage. The pressure in the decrease stage is mainly used for propagating the formed initial cracks. The fracturing range of methane deflagration increases with the decrease of the pressure decrease rate. The research results have a good guiding role in optimizing the boreholes layout and improving the fracturing effects for methane in-situ deflagration fracturing.
