Problems solved by technology

At present, the methods for predicting and analyzing steam huff and puff productivity of horizontal wells mainly include numerical simulation and analytical method. Numerical simulation can better simulate the dynamic process of steam huff and puff production, but this method is cumbersome, time-consuming, and poor in practicability; However, there are few analytical methods for studying and predicting the steam huff and puff productivity of horizontal wells, and the existing analytical methods are immature due to the complicated mechanism of steam huff and puff in horizontal wells and the existence of seepage problems in reservoirs.

Embodiment Construction

[0063] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0064] The present invention provides a method for predicting initial productivity of steam huff and puff of a horizontal well in a heavy oil reservoir, comprising the following steps:

[0065] 1) Based on the seepage theory, a mathematical model of thermal oil recovery for heavy oil reservoirs is established. The specific process is as follows:

[0066] ① The basic assumptions for determining the thermal recovery mathematical model of heavy oil reservoirs are as follows:

[0067] a. There are three phases of oil, gas and water in heavy oil reservoirs, with a total of n c species (n c - 1 hydrocarbon component and a water component) chemical components, any component obeys the principle of phase equilibrium in the phase distribution relationship;

[0068] b. The flow satisfies Darcy's law, and there is no chemical reaction between the chemical comp...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of predicting steam huff-puff early productivity of a heavy oil reservoir horizontal well and belongs to the field of oil-gas field development. The method comprises the steps of 1) establishing a heavy oil reservoir thermal recovery mathematical model based on percolation theory; 2) establishing a nondimensional productivity curve for the horizontal well; 3) recognizing major factors influential to the nondimensional productivity curve of step 2); 4) drawing a nondimensional productivity chart of the horizontal well; 5) predicting steam huff-puff early oil production of the horizontal well under test based on the nondimensional productivity chart of the horizontal well in step 4). The method of the invention has the advantages that initial multiple regression is performed according to the factors influential to the steam huff-puff productivity of a horizontal well to obtain a formula of calculating maximum daily oil production peak of the horizontal well; the steam huff-puff early productivity of a horizontal well can be predicted conveniently and accurately according to the nondimensional productivity chart provided herein.
