Problems solved by technology

However, in actual reservoir simulation, it is difficult to determine the miscible state of carbon dioxide with a single interfacial tension index, and it is impossible to comprehensively and systematically determine the carbon dioxide displacement front of the reservoir during the carbon dioxide displacement process only through the gas phase saturation. What is the state of the region, and how the various states change and transform in real time

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of oil reservoir development, in particular to a carbon dioxide flooding front edge description method. The method comprises the following steps of (1) determining a miscible pressure leading edge, a carbon dioxide component leading edge and a carbon dioxide gas phase leading edge in a carbon dioxide oil displacement process; (2) according to the threeleading edges determined in the step (1), dividing an oil reservoir into four areas, namely a carbon dioxide gas area, a mixed-phase area, a mixed-phase potential area and an unswept area; and (3) recording the change conditions of the positions of the three leading edges in the step (1) at different time points, calculating the moving speeds of the three leading edges, quantitatively describing the change conditions of the four areas according to the movement conditions of the different leading edges, and judging the dynamic change condition of the miscible state in the carbon dioxide flooding process. The method is combined with well testing monitoring and other technologies, accurate fitting and prediction of the underground oil and gas displacement effect can be achieved, and technicalsupport is provided for preventing and treating carbon dioxide gas channeling and improving the oil displacement effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of reservoir development, in particular to a carbon dioxide flooding front description method. Background technique [0002] Carbon dioxide flooding is an important method to enhance oil recovery, especially for low-permeability reservoirs, because water is difficult to inject, and carbon dioxide can generally reach a supercritical state underground, with the density of liquid and the viscosity of gas, so it is easy to inject. And it is easy to miscible with crude oil to greatly improve the oil displacement efficiency. In the process of carbon dioxide flooding, carbon dioxide gas dissolves in crude oil in one contact, causing the volume of crude oil to expand and the viscosity to decrease. As carbon dioxide gas gradually moves to the production well, the light components of crude oil are extracted or vaporized by carbon dioxide gas, forming a multi-contact miscible phase or near miscibility, the interfacial...
