Abstract

The invention discloses an in-situ combustion combustion-supporting ignition method. The method comprises the steps that an electric igniter is tripped in the preset position in an oil tube in a well; air is continuously injected into the well from the oil tube at a first preset speed, and after a liquid level in the well is pressed into a stratum, the electric igniter is started to heat the injected air; after the air is heated by the preset heating time, a power source of the electric igniter is turned off, the electric igniter is taken out, and the air is continuously injected at the first preset speed in the process of taking out the electric igniter; air is injected into the well from the oil tube at a second preset speed, meanwhile, iron pulverized coal is injected, and an oil layer of a heavy oil reservoir is ignited under the action of heat released by combustion of the iron pulverized coal and the air. Through the electric igniter, the oil layer is preheated, and water of near bore zones is reduced. The iron pulverized coal has the functions of profile correction and channeling blocking, combustion products are stored in holes, a gas entry profile continues to be adjusted, ignition is facilitated better, gas channeling is reduced, and meanwhile fast ignition is achieved.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of heavy oil reservoir development, in particular to a combustion-supporting ignition method for a fired oil layer. Background technique

[0002] Burning oil layer is an effective technology to improve oil recovery, and it can be applied under more complicated and harsh formation conditions than steam flooding. Ignition is the most important step. Only successful ignition can ensure the continued implementation of the fire drive. If the first ignition fails, the difficulty of the second ignition will be greatly increased. For heavy oil reservoirs, the current ignition process mainly includes the following three types: steam injection spontaneous ignition, steam injection + chemical agent ignition and mobile electric ignition.

[0003] At present, most of the reservoirs converted from heavy oil development are those that have undergone multiple rounds of steam stimulation. The water saturation near the well is high, and due ...
