Abstract

Highly-deviated well are applied for effectively developing WCH9 gas field with deep buried and low permeability, and the payzone are candidates for hydraulic fracturing by evaluation of gas reservoir. Therefore, fracture initiation pressure is a key parameter for design of hydraulic fracturing treatment. Firstly, a series of experiments were completed by core sample from target formation, Young's modulus is about 13GPa and Poisson's ratio is 0.286 at a confining pressure of 40MPa, horizontal principal stress is 78 MPa and 63 MPa, and in-situ stress profiles were interpreted by logging data. Then, the formation rock is regarded as isotropic linear elastic material, thus total stresses distribution on the deviated wellbore wall was determined by stress superposition principle, in which in-situ stress redistribution around the deviated wellbore, fluid pressure acted on the borehole wall and filtration stress are taken into account when fracturing fluid was injected into wellbore. Further, prediction model of fracture initiation pressure was established by applying criterion of maximum tensile stress and effective stress transformation. Lastly, according to the borehole trajectory, in-situ stress and other parameters from payzone of WCH9 block, fracturing initiation pressure varied with Deviation angle and azimuth angle were computed by numerical simulation method, these results provide a basis for optimization design of hydraulic fracturing technology parameters.
