Embodiment 1

[0043] In the numerical simulation study of oilfield blocks, the model made a comparison between those without horizontal fractures and those with horizontal fractures. Basic reservoir parameters: porosity 30%, oil saturation 75%, permeability 2000md, oil layer thickness 10m, crude oil degassing viscosity at reservoir temperature 500000mPa.s. Injection-production parameters in preheating stage: bottom hole dryness 75%, maximum steam injection pressure 4.0MPa. Gas injection parameters in the ignition stage: the bottom hole injection air temperature is 480°C, and the daily air injection is 5,000 cubic meters.

[0044] Basic parameters of well pattern: horizontal well length 200m, horizontal well spacing 100m.

[0045] Basic parameters of fractures: Research shows that the permeability of fractures is generally several hundred to several thousand darcies, and the fracture width is generally 4-10mm. Considering that the minimum grid of the numerical simulation model is 0.2m, the ...

Abstract

The invention discloses an oil extraction method for extracting raw oil in a horizontal well. The oil extraction method comprises the steps of: A, fracturing the horizontal well; and B, performing horizontal well fireflood assisted gravity drainage on the fractured horizontal well. According to the oil extraction method, the fracturing technology is combined with the single horizontal well fireflood assisted gravity drainage extraction technology, the double advantages of horizontal crack leading fireflood front edge expansion and gravity assisted drainage are made full use of, and a thick oil deposit with an oil layer thickness of more than 4m can be economically and effectively developed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of oil recovery technology, and belongs to a heavy oil thermal recovery method. Background technique [0002] At present, the main technology of heavy oil production is still steam injection technology, including steam huff and puff, steam flooding, and steam-assisted gravity drainage technology. However, steam injection consumes a lot of energy, has poor economic and social benefits, and has great pressure on energy conservation and environmental protection. [0003] In recent years, horizontal well fire flooding assisted gravity drainage technology has emerged, which is called THAI technology (Toe to Heel Air Injection) abroad. This technology was first invented in 1991 by Malcolm.Greaves of the University of Bath in the United Kingdom. Horizontal well fire flooding assisted gravity drainage refers to: oil layer is set at the bottom of the well, and then air is continuously injected to maintain combustion and releas...
