  • 摘要:The volume fracturing technology along with horizontal well is the main technology to obtain commercial oil flow in shale reservoirs because of the low porosity and low permeability. Whether the fracturing fluid has the potential of shale matrix imbibition oil recovery after a large amount of slickwater injected into the reservoir is a research hotspot at present. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the law of imbibition and replacement during the shut-in time. Aiming at the Jimsar area, there are several steps in this study in order to explore the new law of fracturing fluid imbibition and oil recovery in shale reservoirs. Primarily, the distribution of pressure and saturation during fracturing time and shut-in time is accurately described by the numerical simulation method. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis is carried out from two aspects of geological and fracture factors. Eventually, the evaluation of optimal shut-in time is taken by imbibition replacement balance. According to the numerical simulation results, the pressure diffuses rapidly among the matrix during the shut-in time in the hydrophilic reservoir. After 65 days of well shut-in, the whole reservoir tends to be at the same pressure and reaches the equilibrium of imbibition replacement. Contrarily, the pressure of the lipophilic reservoir diffuses slowly and only propagates in the secondary fracture or the matrix near the fractures. The fracture system remains a “high-pressure area” for a long time during shut-in. Additionally, the optimal shut-in time chart of different geological parameters and fracture parameters is drawn to optimize the shut-in time. This research work has a certain reference value for the optimization of shut-in time after fracturing in Jimsar and similar shale oil wells.
