Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, ordinary physical models have poor pressure bearing capacity, generally no more than 3MPa, and it is difficult to meet CO 2 High temperature and high pressure experimental conditions required for throughput experiments
And the existing CO injection 2 The physical model of the huff and puff experiment is usually a vertical well model, and it is difficult to realize the CO 2 Physical Simulation of Throughput
In addition, the existing physical model is usually a single well gas injection huff and puff, which does not take into account the energy supply of the entire block, such as the effect of edge water and bottom water, the magnitude of depleted energy, and geological factors such as faults and formation dips
At the same time, the single well huff and puff model cannot intuitively reflect the spatial distribution of oil and water in the radial direction and plane after multi-well simultaneous huff and puff or coordinated huff and puff, as well as the mutual synergy between production well groups

Abstract

The invention provides an indoor simulation method for collaborative huff and puff of a horizontal well group. The method includes: preparing a horizontal well group core model of a target block, then placing the core model in a core holder capable of simulating a dip angle environment, and performing natural energy simulated exploitation on the core model; performing gas-injection huff and puff exploitation on the core model on this basis to complete an indoor simulation experiment of collaborative huff and puff of the horizontal well group. Through the method, the collaborative huff and puff process of the horizontal well group composed of multiple production wells under the edge water action and dip angle environment can be simulated, and a mode for increasing oil recovery by collaborative huff and puff of the horizontal well group under specified production conditions and reservoir geologic conditions can be selected by the evaluation and comparison of oil output increasing effects of gas-injection huff-puff of oil wells under various conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of petroleum exploitation, and in particular relates to an indoor simulation method for coordinated huff and puff of horizontal well groups. Background technique [0002] At present, gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen have become popular in the production of heavy and thin oil as displacement media. For medium-viscosity crude oil, carbon dioxide immiscible displacement is an effective technology for non-thermal oil recovery to enhance oil recovery, especially for reservoirs with complex geological conditions. Common field applications include: continuous gas injection, CO2 huff and puff, subsequent waterflood after CO2 injection slug, and gas-water alternation (WAG). [0003] Carbon dioxide huff and puff is an effective method to greatly enhance the recovery of a single well. This technology can increase the oil production of a single well in a short period of time. It has the characteristics of less investme...
