[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0057] The following is combined with Figures 1-4 This invention describes a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for determining the number of injection wells during the injection stage of an underground gas storage facility.

[0058] Figure 1 This invention illustrates a flowchart of a method for determining the number of injection wells during the injection stage of an underground gas storage facility. (See attached diagram.) Figure 1 The method includes:

[0059] 11. Obtain historical gas injection capacity data of gas wells, and plot dynamic curves of gas injection flow under different formation pressures based on historical gas injection capacity data;

[0060] 12. Obtain historical vertical pipe flow data and basic wellbore data of the gas well, and plot the dynamic curve of gas injection inflow under different pipe diameters based on the historical vertical pipe flow data and basic wellbore data;

[0061] 13. Based on the dynamic curves of gas inflow and gas outflow, construct the correspondence between the average formation pressure and the reasonable gas injection rate under different pipe diameters;

[0062] 14. Determine the relationship between mean formation pressure and cumulative gas injection volume;

[0063] 15. Determine the planned gas injection time and gas injection volume per unit time within the current cycle of the gas storage facility. Determine the average formation pressure based on the relationship between the planned gas injection time, gas injection volume per unit time, average formation pressure, and cumulative gas injection volume. Determine the reasonable gas injection volume based on the relationship between the average formation pressure, average formation pressure, and reasonable gas injection volume.

[0064] 16. Determine the gas injection capacity of the gas storage facility for the current cycle, and determine the number of injection wells based on the reasonable gas injection volume and capacity.

[0065] Regarding steps 11 to 16, it should be noted that in this invention, a gas storage facility refers to a "container" for storing natural gas. The commonly used term "Underground Gas Storage" (UGS) generally refers to an underground gas storage facility. An underground gas storage facility is an artificial gas field or reservoir formed by re-injecting commercial natural gas transported through long-distance pipelines into underground space. Therefore, a gas storage facility has an injection stage and a production stage. The injection stage involves injecting external natural gas into the gas storage facility. The production stage involves harvesting natural gas from the gas storage facility. Both injection and production require gas wells.

[0066] In this invention, during the gas injection stage, historical gas injection capacity data of the gas well needs to be obtained. This data may include formation pressure, bottom hole flowing pressure, and gas injection volume. The historical gas injection capacity data is then analyzed to fit and plot dynamic curves of gas injection outflow under different formation pressures.

[0067] During the gas injection phase, it is also necessary to acquire historical vertical pipe flow data and basic wellbore data. This historical vertical pipe flow data may include wellhead pressure and injection volume. The basic wellbore data includes the wellbore friction coefficient, average wellbore temperature, average wellbore deviation coefficient, wellbore pipe diameter, and the depth at the center of the gas storage tank. Then, the historical vertical pipe flow and basic wellbore data are analyzed to fit and plot dynamic gas injection inflow curves for different pipe diameters.

[0068] In this invention, in a coordinate system with gas injection volume as the abscissa and bottom hole pressure as the ordinate, the dynamic curves of gas injection inflow and gas injection outflow can intersect. Based on these intersection points, the correspondence between the average formation pressure and the reasonable gas injection volume under different pipe diameters can be obtained. This correspondence is a functional relationship.

[0069] In this invention, the gas storage facility operates on an annual cycle. At the time of injection, the storage facility already contains natural gas. During each injection and extraction phase of the cycle, a balance needs to be maintained between the existing inventory and the cumulative injection volume. Therefore, by analyzing data such as inventory levels and injection volumes at different injection points within the cycle, the correlation between average formation pressure and cumulative injection volume is determined. This correlation is also a functional relationship, interrelated with the correlation between average formation pressure and a reasonable injection volume.

[0070] In this invention, to determine the number of gas wells currently required for gas injection, it is necessary to clarify the planned gas injection time and injection volume per unit time within the current cycle of the gas storage facility. The planned gas injection time can be the planned number of injection days, and the injection volume per unit time can be the daily or monthly injection volume. The average formation pressure is determined based on the relationship between the planned gas injection time, the injection volume per unit time, and the average formation pressure and cumulative injection volume. Then, the reasonable injection volume is determined based on the relationship between the average formation pressure and the reasonable injection volume. This reasonable injection volume is equivalent to the daily injection volume of a single gas well within a reasonable pressure range that the formation can withstand.

[0071] In this invention, the gas injection capacity of the gas storage facility for the current cycle is determined. This gas injection capacity is the total capacity of natural gas that the gas storage facility can currently receive. Then, the number of injection wells is determined based on the reasonable gas injection volume and the gas injection capacity.

[0072] The method for determining the number of injection wells during the injection phase of an underground gas storage facility provided by this invention determines the relationship between average formation pressure and reasonable gas injection volume through formation flow pressure and wellbore flow, and obtains the relationship between average formation pressure and cumulative gas injection volume of the gas storage facility through the gas injection phase of multi-cycle injection and production operation. Then, based on the reasonable gas injection volume according to the relationship, the number of injection wells is determined based on the gas injection capacity of the current cycle and the reasonable gas injection volume. This ensures efficient injection of gas from the pipeline into the underground gas storage facility, and that the high injection and production rate does not damage the reservoir, thus ensuring the safety of gas storage in the gas storage facility and providing guidance for planning the gas injection work system during the injection phase.

[0073] A further method described above primarily involves explaining the process of plotting dynamic curves of gas injection outflow under different formation pressures based on historical gas injection capacity data, as detailed below:

[0074] A gas well injection capacity model is constructed based on historical gas injection capacity data, and dynamic curves of gas injection outflow under different formation pressures are plotted based on the gas well injection capacity model.

[0075] It should be noted that the gas well injection capacity model is obtained by fitting historical gas injection capacity data. Furthermore, this gas well injection capacity module includes:

[0076]

[0077] Where, p e Formation pressure; p wf q represents the bottom-hole flowing pressure; a and b represent the gas injection rate of the gas well; and a and b are coefficients.

[0078] Based on the gas injection production capacity model of this gas well, dynamic curves of gas injection outflow under different formation pressures are plotted in a coordinate system with gas injection volume as the abscissa and bottom hole flowing pressure as the ordinate.

[0079] A further step in the above method mainly explains the process of plotting dynamic curves of gas injection inflow under different pipe diameters based on historical vertical pipe flow and basic wellbore data, as detailed below:

[0080] A vertical flow model for the wellbore is constructed based on historical vertical flow data and basic wellbore data. Dynamic curves of gas injection inflow under different pipe diameters are then plotted based on the vertical flow model.

[0081] It should be noted that in this invention, a vertical flow model is obtained by fitting historical vertical flow data and basic wellbore data. This vertical flow model includes:

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] Where, p tf γ is the wellhead pressure; f is the friction coefficient of the pipeline inside the well; T is the average temperature inside the well; Z is the average deviation coefficient inside the wellbore; q is the gas injection rate of the gas well; D is the inner diameter of the pipe inside the well; g H represents the relative density of natural gas; H represents the depth of the middle section of the gas storage facility.

[0085] Based on the vertical pipe flow model of the wellbore, dynamic curves of gas injection inflow under different pipe diameters are plotted in a coordinate system with gas injection volume as the abscissa and bottom hole pressure as the ordinate.

[0086] In a further step of the above method, the process of determining the correspondence between mean formation pressure and cumulative gas injection volume is explained, as follows:

[0087] A material balance model for the gas injection stage of multiple gas injection / production cycles was constructed, and the correspondence between the mean formation pressure and the cumulative gas injection volume was determined based on the material balance model for the gas injection stage.

[0088] It should be noted that in this invention, the gas-water interface extrapolation effect exists during the gas storage facility's injection / production operation. Therefore, impact data corresponding to multiple injection / production operation phases are collected, and then a material balance model for the injection phase of the gas storage facility's multi-cycle injection / production operation is provided based on this data. This injection phase material balance model includes:

[0089]

[0090] Among them, G res B represents the initial inventory level during the gas injection phase of the gas storage facility. gi G represents the gas volume coefficient at the initial moment of the injection phase. t B represents the cumulative gas injection volume at time t during the gas injection phase. gt C is the gas volume coefficient at time t during the injection phase; s P is the water intrusion coefficient. i P represents the formation pressure at the initial moment of the gas injection stage. t This represents the formation pressure at time t during the gas injection stage.

[0091] Based on the material balance model of the gas injection stage, the correspondence between the average formation pressure and the cumulative gas injection volume is extracted.

[0092] A further step in the above method mainly explains the process of constructing the correspondence between average formation pressure and reasonable gas injection volume under different pipe diameters based on the dynamic curves of gas injection inflow and gas injection outflow, as detailed below:

[0093] Obtain the intersection value of the gas injection inflow dynamic curve and the gas injection outflow dynamic curve;

[0094] The correlation between average formation pressure and reasonable gas injection volume under different pipe diameters was obtained by fitting the intersection values.

[0095] It should be noted that in this invention, in a coordinate system with the gas injection rate as the abscissa and the bottom hole flowing pressure as the ordinate, the dynamic curves of gas injection inflow and gas injection outflow can intersect. (See [reference needed]). Figure 2 As shown.

[0096] Curve 1 is the outflow dynamic curve under an average formation pressure of 10 MPa;

[0097] Curve 2 is the outflow dynamic curve under an average formation pressure of 13 MPa;

[0098] Curve 3 is the outflow dynamic curve under an average formation pressure of 16 MPa;

[0102] Curve 7 is the inflow dynamic curve with an inner diameter of 4.5 in the generating pipe;

[0103] Curve 8 is the inflow dynamic curve with an inner diameter of 5.5 in the generating pipe.

[0104] The relationship between average formation pressure and reasonable gas injection volume under different pipe diameters can be obtained by fitting these intersection points.

[0105] A further method described above primarily explains the process of determining the gas injection capacity of the gas storage facility for the current cycle, as follows:

[0106] Construct a movable storage capacity state model for the gas storage facility, and determine the movable storage capacity based on the movable storage capacity state model;

[0107] The injection capacity is determined based on the movable reservoir capacity and the initial reservoir capacity.

[0108] It should be noted that, in this invention, the movable warehouse capacity state model includes:

[0111] Based on the movable reservoir capacity state model, the gas injection capacity can be determined by the movable reservoir capacity and the initial reservoir capacity.

[0112] The further method described above mainly explains the process of determining the number of injection wells based on reasonable gas injection volume and capacity, as follows:

[0113] The appropriate gas injection volume and gas injection capacity are input into the gas injection well number determination model to determine the number of gas injection wells; the gas injection well number determination model includes:

[0114]

[0115] Among them, G vol q represents the injection capacity, t represents the planned injection time, and q represents the injection volume. g To ensure reasonable gas injection volume
