[0057]Example 1 (such asFigure 4 ,Figure 5 Shown)
[0058]An ultra-heavy oil reservoir adopts the SAGD production method of vertical well gas injection and horizontal well oil production. The horizontal section of the horizontal well is 400 meters in length and the operating pressure of the steam chamber is 4.0 MPa. After several years of continuous steam injection, a larger steam cavity volume was formed in the reservoir, and the crude oil recovery rate exceeded 45%. As SAGD enters the middle and late stages of development, the heat loss ratio of injected steam in the steam cavity increases, the oil-steam ratio decreases, and the oil drain rate decreases. In order to make full use of the waste heat in the steam chamber and reduce the steam consumption per unit of oil produced, it was decided to greatly reduce or stop steam injection on the ground. Laboratory studies and numerical simulation studies have shown that solvent-assisted SAGD is the best way to improve the mining effect in t...
Example Embodiment
[0060]Example 2 (such asImage 6 Shown)
[0061]The viscosity of the crude oil in this reservoir is 5000-10000 mPa.s at reservoir temperature, the thickness of the pure oil layer is 5-10 meters, the depth of the oil layer is 2000 meters, and the oil layer pressure is 20 MPa. The crude oil in this reservoir has a certain flow ability at the temperature of the reservoir, but the cold production yield is low. Due to the limitation of the depth and thickness of the oil layer, the thermal recovery efficiency of surface steam injection is low, and it is difficult to obtain an economic oil-steam ratio.
[0062]Drill a horizontal well with a length of 400-600 meters in the oil layer. It is located at the bottom of the oil layer. The horizontal section is completed with a screen (such asImage 6 Shown). First, all downhole pipe strings and electric heating devices (200-300 kW), power supply cables and downhole temperature monitoring required for in-situ production of solvents in the oil layer to ext...
