Abstract

A permeable cement stone fracturing exploitation method for non-conventional oil and gas layer comprising the following processes: transporting and storing a supercritical carbon dioxide to a well site; selecting, transporting, and storing an oil well cement and admixtures to the well site; mixing the oil well cement and the admixtures into a first mixture, forming a cement slurry; pumping the supercritical carbon dioxide and the cement slurry respectively into a high pressure mixer; automatically mixing the supercritical carbon dioxide and the cement slurry into a second mixture by the high pressure mixer; continuously on-line monitoring and temporarily storing the second mixture; and injecting the second mixture into the non-conventional oil and gas layer for fracturing to form a reticulate artificial fracture; the second mixture is automatically heated, pressure reduced, gasified, solidified, carbonic acid dissolved and eroded, leached to form the a permeable cement stone.

Claims (10)

1. A permeable cement stone fracturing exploitation method for a non-conventional oil and gas layer, comprising following complementary processes:

transporting a supercritical carbon dioxide to a well site by using a specialized tanker truck or a pipeline; storing the supercritical carbon dioxide at the well site; and pumping and transporting the supercritical carbon dioxide by using one or more supercritical carbon dioxide pumps;

selecting an oil well cement and admixtures compatible with a well depth, a well temperature, and a strata;

transporting the oil well cement and the admixtures to the well site and storing the oil well cement and the admixtures at the well site;

mixing the oil well cement and the admixtures into a first mixture and pumping the first mixture by using one or more pumps, wherein the admixtures comprise a coagulation controlling agent, a viscosity controlling agent, a resistance reducing agent, and a filtrate reducing agent; forming a cement slurry:

pumping the supercritical carbon dioxide and the cement slurry respectively into a high pressure mixer at a proportion designed for a single well; automatically mixing the supercritical carbon dioxide and the cement slurry into a second mixture by the high pressure mixer; and

continuously on-line monitoring and temporarily storing the second mixture; controlling a temperature, an output volume, and a pump pressure according to a design of the single well;

injecting the second mixture into the non-conventional oil and gas layer under a ground for fracturing by using a plurality of fracturing pumps to form a reticulate artificial fracture; wherein the supercritical carbon dioxide is heated by automatic heat exchange according to a temperatures of the strata so that the supercritical carbon dioxide is gasified into compressed carbon dioxide bubbles; an internal pressure of the cement slurry automatically decreases when the cement slurry enters a state of weightlessness during initial setting, therefore causing the compressed carbon dioxide bubbles to become air pores;

after final setting and solidification of the cement slurry, therefore forming a cement stone, using a portion of the carbon dioxide dissolved in bound water and free water to form a carbonic acid, wherein the carbonic acid erodes, dissolves and leaches the cement stone, so that a porosity and a permeability of the cement stone are further increased under the effect of the carbonic acid.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a critical condition of the supercritical carbon dioxide comprises a pressure higher than 7.38 Mpa and a temperature lower than 31.05° C.
