英文摘要 | Understanding the formation mechanisms of complex fracture networks is vitally important for hydraulic fracturing operations in shale formation. For this purpose, a hydraulic fracturing experiment under a core-plunger scale is conducted to investigate the impact of the bedding plane angle, borehole size, and injection rate on fracture initiation behaviors of laminated shale rock. The results on rock properties demonstrate that the anisotropic characteristics of shale rock are reflected not only in elastic modulus but also in tensile strength. The results of fracturing experiments show that the bedding plane dip angle and borehole size have significant effects on fracture initiation behaviors, in that fracture initiation pressure (FIP) decreases with the increase of those two factors. The impact of injection rate, by contrast, has no obvious variety regulation. The above data is further used to validate our previously proposed fully anisotropic FIP model, which shows better agreement with experimental results than those using other models under various parameter combinations. Finally, a postfracturing analysis is performed to identify the fracture growth patterns and the microstructures on the fracture surfaces. The results show that the hydraulic fractures (HFs) always grow along mechanically favorable directions, and the potential interaction between HFs and bedding planes mainly manifests as fracture arrest. Meanwhile, the roughness of fracture surfaces is physically different from each other, which in turn results in the difficulties of fluid flow and proppant migration. The findings of this study can help for a better understanding of the fracture initiation behavior of laminated shale rock and the corresponding fracture morphology. |
