中文摘要 | A large volume of fracturing fluid is pumped into a well to stimulate shale formation. The water is imbibed into the reservoir during this procedure. The effect of the imbibed water on gas recovery is still in debate. In this work, we study the spontaneous imbibition of water into marine shale samples from the Sichuan Basin and continental shale samples from Erdos Basin to explore the fluid imbibition characteristics and permeability change during water imbibition. Comparison of imbibition experiments shows that shale has stronger water imbibition and diffusion capacity than relatively higher permeability sandstone. Once the imbibition stops, water in shale has stronger ability to diffuse into deeper matrix, the water content in the main flow path decreases. Experiments in this study show that marine shale has stronger water imbibition capacity than continental shale. The permeability of continental shale decreases significantly with increasing imbibition water volume; however, the permeability of marine shale decreases at first and increases after a certain imbibition time. The induced fracture is obvious in the marine shale. SEM analysis shows that the relationship between the clay mineral and organic matter of continental shale is much more complex than that of marine shale, which may be the key factor restricting the water imbibition because the flow path is trapped by swelled clay minerals. Through this study, we concluded that whether gas recovery benefits from water imbibition depends on three aspects: 1) the diffusion ability of liquid into matrix; 2) the new cracks introduced by imbibed water; and 3) the formation sensibility. This study is useful for optimizing fracture fluids and determining the best flow-back method. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
