Abstract:

The fracturing fluid-gas spontaneous displacement during the fracturing process is important to investigate the shale gas production and formation damage. Temperature and slippage are the major mechanisms underlying fluid transport in the micro-/nanomatrix in shale, as reported in the previous studies. We built a fracturing fluid-gas spontaneous displacement model for the porous media with micro-/nanopores, considering two major mechanisms. Then, our spontaneous displacement model was verified by the experimental result of the typical shale samples and fracturing fluids. Finally, the influences of temperature, slip length, and pore size distribution on the spontaneous imbibition process were discussed. Slippage and temperature significantly influenced the imbibition process. Lower viscosity, higher temperature, and longer slip length increased the imbibition speed. Ignoring the temperature change and slippage will lead to significant underestimation of the imbibition process.
