Abstract

The invention provides a well test interpretation method of a horizontal well for thickened oil thermal recovery. The well test interpretation method of the horizontal well for the thickened oil thermal recovery comprises: adopting a time varying line source composite well test model according to underground fluid of a thickened oil horizontal well and thermal field distribution characteristics; constructing a line source function according to the time varying line source composite well test model; choosing a plate source function according to boundary conditions of the thickened oil horizontal well; superimposing the line source function and the plate source function, and obtaining a source function of the horizontal well for the thickened oil thermal recovery; obtaining a Laplace space solution of a no well storage bottom hole pressure function from the source function of the horizontal well for the thickened oil thermal recovery; and obtaining a real space solution of the well storage bottom hole pressure function from the Laplace space solution of the no well storage bottom hole pressure function. A heat felt area is assumed to be a cylinder which serves a horizontal segment of the horizontal well as a shaft, bottom hole pressure solution problems of a thickened oil horizontal well soak test process and a high-temperature production test process under a new assumption are boiled down to superposition of the plate source function and the line source function, and a new method is provided to the well test interpretation of the horizontal well for the thickened oil thermal recovery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of well testing, in particular to a well testing interpretation method for a horizontal well in thermal recovery of heavy oil. Background technique [0002] As the possibility of discovering large thin oil reservoirs continues to decrease, the efficient development of heavy oil reservoirs has become one of the important development directions of my country's petroleum industry in the future. Compared with thin oil reservoirs, due to the high viscosity of underground crude oil, high water-oil mobility ratio, and poor water flooding development effect in the development of heavy oil reservoirs, thermal oil recovery and chemical oil recovery are often used or supplemented by development methods. As the temperature increases, the viscosity of heavy oil decreases significantly within a certain range, and has a good viscosity-temperature correlation. Therefore, thermal oil recovery has become one of the subjects t...
