Abstract

The invention provides a vertical well assisted lateral expansion oil extraction method after SAGD development. The vertical well assisted lateral expansion oil extraction method after SAGD development comprises the steps that an available oil reservoir is determined; steam injection of a steam injection horizontal well of the available oil reservoir is stopped, continuous production of a production horizontal well of the available oil reservoir is kept, and the pressure of an SAGD steam cavity of the available oil reservoir is reduced; a vertical well is arranged close to the steam injection horizontal well; a stimulant is injected into the vertical well, and when the bottom hole pressure of the vertical well is larger than the minimum principal stress of a stratum, the inner side wall of the vertical well is expanded; huff and puff production is conducted on the vertical well; the vertical well communicates with the SAGD steam cavity; and vertical well oil is converted into continuous steam injection from huff and puff production, and continuous production of the available oil reservoir is kept. The problem that in the prior art, the oil extraction speed is low after lateral expansion is conducted on an oil layer is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of oil exploitation, in particular to a method for oil recovery by using vertical wells to assist lateral expansion after SAGD development. Background technique [0002] SAGD technology, that is, steam-assisted gravity drainage technology was invented by Professor Butter of Canada in 1978, and has been successfully applied in heavy oil reservoirs in Canada's oil sands mining area, my country's Liaohe Oilfield, Xinjiang Oilfield and other places. The main principle of dual-horizontal-well SAGD is to deploy two vertically parallel horizontal wells at the bottom of the oil layer, and continuously inject steam from the upper horizontal well into the oil layer to heat the oil layer and crude oil. Viscous crude oil and steam condensate flow down by gravity and are produced from horizontal producing horizontal wells in the lower part of the reservoir. However, under this injection-production method, the crude oil is mainly ...
