基于PIV/POD的水力裂缝近井区域滑溜水流动规律实验研究

Experimental study on the flow law of slickwater in the near well area of hydraulic fractures based on PIV/POD

  • 摘要: 在非常规储层压裂施工中,滑溜水压裂液在近井区域流态复杂,其流动规律影响支撑剂输送和裂缝扩展过程。研究基于相似理论,搭建平板裂缝实验装置,从排量、滑溜水黏度和射孔位置三个方面设计实验方案。利用粒子图像测速技术(PIV)开展近井区域的流场测试实验,得到近井区域的速度场和涡量场,并采用本征正交分解(POD)方法将PIV测量得到的流场瞬态速度矢量场数据进行主导模态分解,通过有限阶本征函数的线性组合来研究近井地带滑溜水复杂流动的相干结构。实验结果表明,对比清水,滑溜水降低20°射流偏转角度,能够促进射流条带和涡结构在流向上发展,抑制裂缝内湍流的脉动,作用于低阶的大尺度含能涡结构,使得流场变得相对有序,相干结构尺度更大。三孔注入时,排量和黏度越大,回流区的流体速度占比越小,流体更倾向与快速向前流动,易于支撑剂向更远端输送,其中黏度影响最大,从1.0mPa·s变为6.0 mPa·s,回流区的流体速度占比减小8.7%。单孔注入下,涡结构尺度大,流场中相干结构构型相对单一有序;随着模态数的增加,流场内大尺度相干结构涡结构尺度逐渐减小,且小尺度的涡结构数目增多,流场内相干结构从有序逐渐变得无序。

     

    Abstract: In unconventional reservoir fracturing construction, the flow pattern of slickwater fracturing fluid in the near-well region is complex, and its flow pattern affects the proppant delivery and fracture extension process. Based on the similarity theory, the study builds a flat plate fracture experimental setup, and designs the experimental program in terms of the discharge volume, the viscosity of the slickwater and the injection position. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is used to carry out the flow field test experiments in the near-well region to obtain the velocity and vorticity fields in the near-well region, and the transient velocity vector field data of the flow field obtained by PIV measurements are subjected to dominant mode decomposition by using the intrinsic orthogonal decomposition (POD) method, which is a linear combination of finite-order intrinsic functions to study the coherent structure of the complex flow of the slick water in the near-well zone. The experimental results show that, comparing with clear water, lowering the 20° jet deflection angle of the slickwater can promote the development of jet strips and vortex structures in the flow direction, inhibit the pulsation of turbulence in the fracture, and act on the low-order, large-scale energy-containing vortex structures, which make the flow field relatively ordered and the coherent structures larger in scale. With three-hole injection, the larger the displacement and viscosity, the smaller the percentage of fluid velocity in the reflux zone, and the fluid is more inclined to flow forward quickly, which is easy for the proppant to be transported to the further end, where the viscosity has the largest effect, changing from 1 mPa·s to 6.0 mPa·s, and the percentage of fluid velocity in the reflux zone is reduced by 8.7%. Under single-hole injection, the vortex structure scale is large, and the coherent structure configuration in the flow field is relatively single and ordered; with the increase of the number of modes, the vortex structure scale of the large-scale coherent structure in the flow field gradually decreases, and the number of small-scale vortex structures increases, and the coherent structure in the flow field gradually becomes disordered from ordered.
