Problems solved by technology

However, the theoretical basis of existing dominant channel identification methods is not perfect. When establishing mathematical models, they are often only based on the assumption of Darcy seepage or pipe flow, and do not take into account the different seepage states corresponding to different levels of dominant channels and their impact on the identification of dominant channels. In addition, tracer testing and hydraulic detection methods are expensive, and the parameter interpretation process has more qualitative components, is strongly influenced by human subjectivity, and has weak operability, which is not conducive to on-site implementation; The well logging method can qualitatively identify the layer where the dominant channel exists, but it cannot judge the development level of the dominant channel. The basic model is simple and easy to calculate, but the assumption is too idealized and does not meet the actual situation of the dominant channel

Embodiment 1

[0213] The reservoirs of the selected well test oilfields have good physical properties, are high porosity, medium and high permeability reservoirs, the rocks are loosely cemented, and the content of interstitial substances is small. After years of exploitation, it has now entered a period of high water cut, and the dominant channels in the block are seriously developed, resulting in high residual oil saturation in oil well drainage, serious drainage and flooding of water wells, great differences in vertical water absorption profiles, and rapid breakthrough of water lines. The existence of dominant channels has seriously affected the further improvement of oil recovery.

[0214] Taking Well A of this oilfield as an example to illustrate the practical application of the dominant channel identification method based on unstable well testing. In advance, two unstable well test tests were carried out in Well A of the oilfield, and the time interval between the two tests was more th...

Embodiment 2

[0219] Taking Well B in the test oilfield as an example to illustrate the practical application of the dominant channel identification method based on unstable well testing. The time-varying curves of the bottomhole flowing pressure and its pressure derivative obtained from well B tests (see attached Figure 9 ) and the well test typical characteristic curves of the different levels of dominant channels provided by the present invention (see attached figure 2 , attached image 3 , attached Figure 4 And attached Figure 5A ) for comparison, it can be found that the attached Figure 9 The test curve in Fig. 5 is completely consistent with the trend of the typical characteristic curve in Fig. 5, but differs greatly from other typical characteristic curves. Therefore, it can be judged that there are dominant channels with a high development level around Well B during the test, which can be classified as large tunnel.

[0220] The interpretation result of this well is comple...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a technology for identifying dominant channels in water flooding oilfields, in particular to a method and device for identifying dominant channels in water flooding oilfields by using an unstable well test method to identify dominant channels formed in the development process of water flooding oilfields. Background technique [0002] During the long-term water injection development of oilfields, the reservoir pore structure will change greatly. Geological factors such as oil layer heterogeneity, development factors such as excessively fast production speed, and changes in oil layer pressure will increase the pore throat radius and permeability of the reservoir, thus forming secondary high-permeability strips in the reservoir. That is, the dominant channel. In the process of oilfield development, the most sensitive development parameters of the dominant channel are pressure and production, and the data collected from the well t...
