Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in these methods, the cave volume obtained by the seismic fracture-cave carving method is the volume of the seismic anomaly body, not the volume of the geological anomaly body, and the conversion factor between the volume of the seismic anomaly body and the geological anomaly volume is difficult to determine; The calculation of the volume requires more accurate calculation of parameters such as the comprehensive compressibility coefficient, formation pressure, and water influx. However, it is difficult to determine these key parameters in fractured-vuggy reservoirs, resulting in low accuracy of calculation results.
Existing continuum well test interpretation methods have poor adaptability to large-scale fractured-cavity reservoirs, and cannot calculate key parameters such as cave volume in fractured-cavity reservoirs
The modeling process of discrete fracture-vuggy network well test interpretation method is complex and costly, which is not conducive to the widespread use in oilfields

Embodiment 1

[0098] figure 1 The flow chart of the well test interpretation method for the calculation of the volume of the karst cave in embodiment 1 comprises the following steps:

[0099] Step 1. Establish a well test model according to the combination relationship of fractures, caves and wellbore in fractured-cavity reservoirs and reservoir parameters;

Abstract

The present invention relates to a well test explanation method for cave volume calculation. The method comprises a first step of building a well test model according to a combination relationship of a crack, a cave and a wellbore of a seam type oil reservoir and measurement parameters of the crack, the cave and the wellbore; a second step of acquiring a real space bottomhole pressure solution according to the well test model; and a third step of fitting by using the real space bottomhole pressure solution and measured bottomhole pressure data so as to acquire parameters about crack permeability, a wellbore reservoir coefficient, a crack length, a crack cross-sectional area, and a cave volume. Through adoption of the well test explanation method for cave volume calculation, a corresponding well test explanation model is built according to different crack combination relationships, so that the volume of each cave is explained, further, the length and cross-sectional area of the crack or a seepage channel are obtained.
