Technical Field

Background
Along with the increase of the dependence degree of human beings on resources such as petroleum, natural gas and the like, the unconventional oil gas exploitation gradually becomes a main task of oil gas exploitation in countries around the world in recent decades. In general, unconventional oil and gas resources have the characteristics of large resource amount and large exploitation difficulty, and in order to form industrial oil and gas flows, the unconventional oil and gas resources must be subjected to yield increasing operation different from the conventional oil and gas resources. Hydraulic fracturing operations are one of the important means of producing unconventional hydrocarbon resources.
After hydraulic fracturing is usually carried out, the fracturing fluid needs to be quickly reversely discharged to prevent the fracturing fluid from damaging a reservoir, and oil gas is brought out after the fracturing fluid is reversely discharged, so that a fracturing well can be rapidly put into production. But the situation in the field is exactly opposite to the above knowledge: after fracturing some tight sandstone reservoirs, the reverse drainage rate of fracturing fluids of many wells is extremely low, but the yield is very high, and the reverse drainage rate of fracturing fluids of few wells is high, but the yield of single wells is relatively low.
Imbibition refers to the process by which a porous medium spontaneously imbibes some wetting fluid, and since the kinetics of imbibition are primarily due to capillary forces, spontaneous imbibition occurs mostly in tight reservoirs. Thus, the fracturing fluid in the tight reservoir which is not reversely discharged is imbibed to displace the crude oil, thereby causing the above phenomena on site.
Most of the existing spontaneous imbibition research methods are methods for researching spontaneous imbibition of water into core-displaced crude oil, and in recent years, many experimental methods take surfactants, various chemical reagents and stratum conditions into consideration.

The outlet end B of the core slice 4 is connected with the second burette 3-1 through a rubber hose 2. The first burette 3 is connected to the pressurizing pump 1 via a rubber hose 2.
As a preferred embodiment of the invention, the rubber hoses 2 at the two ends of the core slice are made of materials which are resistant to high pressure and are not easy to deform.
The visual fracturing fluid spontaneous imbibition research method disclosed by the invention comprises the following steps in sequence:
and (3) preparing a basic experimental material: as shown in fig. 2, after the core is obtained, the core is made into a core sheet 4, and a certain length of high-pressure-resistant rubber hose 2 which is not easy to deform is respectively connected to an inlet end a and an outlet end B of the core sheet 4.

(2) Vacuumizing: as shown in step 1 of fig. 2, an inlet end a of the core sheet 4 is connected to a burette filled with water, an outlet end B of the core sheet 4 is connected to an empty burette and a vacuum pump 5, and the tightness of the connected overall structure is checked.

the step (4) - (6) of gradually pressurizing the fracturing fluid sample or kerosene is performed by pressurizing the fracturing fluid sample or kerosene by the pressurizing pump 1 at a small constant pressure and then gradually pressurizing the fracturing fluid sample or kerosene. The pressure is not lower than 0.02MPa at the lowest and not more than 0.20MPa at the lowest. The pressure pressurization time of each stage is 1-2 hours.

Simulating a process that water fills rock pores under the condition of an original stratum, simulating a process that oil displacement water occupies the pores after oil gas is generated by the stratum, simulating a process that fracturing fluid enters the stratum to drive away crude oil in the development process, and simulating a process that oil enters a shaft after hydraulic fracturing in the step (6); the core slice 4 is adopted for research instead of a whole core, so that the whole process is visible and the spontaneous imbibition phenomenon is observable; by adopting the buret with the metering function and the optical microscope, the liquid amount of the core slice can be effectively metered and discharged, so that the seepage and retention percentage of the fracturing liquid can be calculated.
In the invention, the step (2) is performed for at least 5 hours, and if the core is compact, the step (2) is recommended to be performed for 10 hours.
In the step (3), when the color of the core sheet does not change obviously, the method means that: the formation water sample dyed with methyl blue completely enters the core sheet which is vacuumized, and the blue area of the core sheet is not increased any more.
The step (4) to the step (6) of discharging liquid from the hollow burette end for a period of time means that: the liquid discharged from the empty burette connected with the outlet end B is always the liquid in the burette at the pressurized inlet end, and the oil and water quantity in the core slice reach balance; the core color does not change obviously means that: the red area and the blue area in the core slice are relatively stable. Satisfying the two conditions can be regarded as the end of the step.
After each of the steps (3) to (6) is completed, the core sheet is recommended to be placed for 6-12 hours, so that the core sheet is aged, and the real stratum condition can be simulated more.
In summary, the visual fracturing fluid spontaneous imbibition research device and method provided by the invention aim to research spontaneous imbibition of the fracturing fluid, and can simulate the whole hydraulic fracturing process, so that researchers can intuitively observe the spontaneous imbibition phenomenon through naked eyes and optical microscope equipment, and finally obtain the spontaneous imbibition situation of the fracturing fluid qualitatively and quantitatively.
