Problems solved by technology

[0004] For a long time, the optimal design of well pattern has mainly relied on the experience of reservoir engineers. However, due to the strong heterogeneity of the reservoir and the large difference in physical properties, it is difficult to judge the type and location of the optimal well pattern by artificially selecting the well pattern. limitation
In recent years, researchers and engineers at home and abroad have proposed a well pattern and well location optimization design method that combines optimization theory and numerical simulation, but relying on numerical simulation to evaluate the effect of each scheme, resulting in a huge amount of calculation and time-consuming in the entire optimization process Very long, limited amount of calculation and time is often difficult to obtain satisfactory results

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of oil and gas field development, and in particular relates to a method for optimizing the well pattern design of a water flooding oil reservoir, which is used for improving the recovery rate of the oil reservoir. Background technique [0002] The design of water injection well pattern is one of the most critical tasks in the formulation of reservoir water injection development plan. Well pattern design needs to fully consider reservoir physical properties and development conditions to maximize development benefits. However, due to the large number of parameters affecting the optimal well pattern and the complex relationship between parameters, it is very difficult to determine the optimal well pattern. [0003] Through retrieval, the invention patent with application number 201310302819.9 (authorized announcement number is CN103422849A) discloses a method and device for rebuilding well patterns in old oil fields for...
