TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pressure drive effect evaluation and reservoir parameter inversion, and particularly relates to a water injection well pressure analysis method considering the influence of pressure drive water injection induced fractures. BACKGROUND
[0002] Pressure drive water injection well bottom hole pressure analysis is of great significance to pressure drive effect evaluation and reservoir parameter inversion. Pressure drive water injection can produce dynamic fractures, and the production of dynamic fractures brings great challenges to the analysis of the bottom hole pressure of pressure drive water injection wells. Current research on dynamic fractures of water injection wells can be divided into two parts: ① research on the fracture propagation characteristics of water injection wells and influencing factors; ② research on the influence of water injection well dynamic fractures on reservoir development. These existing researches on dynamic fractures of water injection wells do not involve the influence of water injection well dynamic fractures on the bottom hole pressure of water injection wells, while the bottom hole pressure of water injection wells and its derivative change law reflect the dynamic expansion of fractures and the flow characteristics of fluid, which have wide research value.
[0003] In the Chinese patent application with the application number: CN201810765445.7, a method for simulating the dynamic extension of water injection well water pressure driven fractures is involved, which includes the following steps: obtaining the reservoir geological characteristic parameters of the existing fracture target water injection well according to the reservoir geological research; establishing a water injection well water pressure driven hydraulic fracture propagation model by comprehensively using the Darcy filtration model, the continuity equation, the material balance equation and the initial conditions; establishing a fluid and rock pore elastic deformation relationship, i.e. a fluid-solid coupling model, by using the oil-water two-phase seepage model based on the seepage mechanics theory to take the fluid amount filtered into the formation as a source term, and combining the boundary conditions established by the fluid pressure in the fracture, calculating the formation pore pressure and obtaining the strain and porosity changes caused by fluid pressure changes; then obtaining the fracture extension dynamics after fluid-solid coupling, and taking the obtained new parameters as the initial conditions for repetition, and finally obtaining the fracture extension dynamics. The invention can predict the dynamic extension of fractures in water injection wells and the dynamic changes of parameters in the reservoir according to the construction and geological parameters
[0004] In the Chinese patent application No. CN202111400752.3, a natural fracture reservoir multi-stage fracturing horizontal well interference test analysis method is disclosed. A basic physical model is established according to the injection-production well arrangement, fracturing operation parameters and reservoir basic physical property information. Based on the basic physical model, the dimensionless formation pressure drop in the Laplace domain of the hydraulic fracture, the dimensionless formation pressure drop in the Laplace domain caused by the horizontal wellbore with limited conductivity, and the dimensionless formation pressure drop in the Laplace domain caused by the injection well are calculated based on the double-porosity medium Laplace domain source function. The Laplace domain dimensionless pressure solution considering well-reservoir effect and skin factor is obtained, and the Stehfest numerical inversion is performed to obtain the real space well bottom dimensionless pressure solution. The relationship between the well bottom dimensionless pressure, pressure derivative and dimensionless time is plotted, and the analysis is completed. The invention considers that the fracture and the horizontal wellbore have limited conductivity, the method is simple, the required physical parameters are measurable, and the practicability is good.
[0005] In the Chinese patent application No. CN201710720001.7, a pressure monitoring method for determining the water direction of multi-stage fracturing horizontal well is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: monitoring the bottom hole pressure change data of multi-stage fracturing horizontal well; considering the change of the working system of surrounding injection wells, designing the interference test between injection wells and multi-stage fracturing horizontal wells; establishing the bottom hole pressure analysis chart of multi-stage fracturing horizontal well under the interference of injection wells; fitting and analyzing the measured bottom hole pressure data to obtain the fracture and reservoir parameters under different injection rates of injection wells; determining the interwell connectivity by comparing and analyzing the parameters obtained by fitting under different injection well working systems, and determining the water direction. The method is simple, easy to understand and operate. Since the change of the injection rate of the injection well is considered, the water direction of the multi-stage fracturing horizontal well can be accurately determined. The pressure monitoring and interpretation of the multi-stage fracturing horizontal well using this method is more in line with the actual situation, and the accuracy of pressure monitoring and interpretation is improved.
[0006] The above prior art has great difference from the present application and cannot solve the technical problems we want to solve. Therefore, we have invented a new injection well pressure analysis method considering the influence of pressure drive water injection induced fracture. SUMMARY
[0007] The purpose of the present application is to provide an injection well pressure analysis method considering the influence of pressure drive water injection induced fracture, which provides strong support for the development of low permeability reservoirs developed by pressure drive water injection.
[0008] The purpose of the present application can be achieved by the following technical measures: the injection well pressure analysis method considering the influence of pressure drive water injection induced fracture, which comprises:
[0009] Step 1, a pressure analysis model of a water injection well considering the influence of fractures induced by pressure drive water injection is established;
[0010] Step 2, the pressure analysis model of the water injection well considering the influence of fractures induced by pressure drive water injection is solved;
[0011] Step 3, a double logarithmic pressure analysis curve of the water injection well is analyzed, and different flow stages of the reservoir in the fracturing process are judged according to the curve;
[0012] Step 4, the bottom hole pressure response characteristics of the pressure drive water injection well are analyzed, and are applied to an actual well to verify the accuracy of the established model.
[0013] The object of the application can also be achieved through the following technical measures:
[0014] In step 1, a pressure drive water injection oil-water seepage mathematical model and a fracture expansion model during pressure drive water injection are established, and the two models are coupled to form a pressure analysis model of a water injection well considering the influence of fractures induced by pressure drive water injection.
[0015] In step 1, before the pressure analysis model of the pressure drive water injection well is established, the following assumptions are given: (1) two-dimensional plane flow; (2) only oil and water two-phase seepage exists in the reservoir, and the oil and water are not mutually soluble and each conforms to Darcy's law; (3) the rock fluid is compressible;
[0016] (4) the heterogeneity and anisotropy of the rock are considered; (5) the effect of gravity is ignored; (6) the fracture expansion is a composite linear expansion model.
[0017] In step 1, the oil and water two-phase flow control equations are respectively:
[0018]
[0019]
[0020] In the formula, k is the absolute permeability, mD; K r is the relative permeability, decimal; μ is the viscosity, mpa.s; ρ is the density, kg / m 3 ; φ is the porosity, decimal; s is the saturation, decimal; p is the pressure of any point at any time, MPa; G is the starting pressure gradient, MPa / m; subscript: o is the oil phase, and w is the water phase.
[0021] In step 1, the auxiliary equation is:
[0022] s o +s w = 1 (3)
[0023] The initial condition is:
[0024]
[0025] where s o is oil saturation, fraction; s w is water saturation, fraction; p oi is initial formation pressure, MPa; s wi is initial water saturation, fraction.
[0026] In step 1, the inner and outer boundary conditions are:
[0027] Q pro = Q opro + Q wpro = constant (5)
[0028] Q inj = constant (6)
[0029]
[0030] where Q pro is liquid production rate, m 3 / d; Q opro is oil production rate, m 3 / d; Q wpro is water production rate, m 3 / d; Q inj is injection rate, m 3 / d.
[0031] In step 1, the well treatment conditions of injection well and production well, i.e. constant injection rate of injection well and constant production rate of production well are:
[0032]
[0033]
[0034] where p wf is bottom hole pressure of production well, MPa; p iwf is bottom hole pressure of injection well, MPa.
[0035] In step 1, equations (1)-(9) are the mathematical model of water flooding with pressure drive, based on the assumption (6) of composite linear propagation model of fracture propagation, the modified PKN model is used to consider the effect of fracture propagation of fracturing fluid loss, to achieve the description of fracture propagation of water flooding with pressure drive; according to the law of conservation, the injected fluid is equal to the sum of the fluid loss and the fluid in the fracture, so there is the total fracture volume expression:
[0036] V f = q x t (1-Ψ) (10)
[0037] where V f is total fracture volume, m3 ; q x is injection rate, m 3 / d; t is water injection time, d; Ψ is filtration ratio, decimal.
[0038] In step 1, equation (10) is used to modify the fracture length and fracture width calculation formula of PKN model to obtain the fracture length and width formula considering the influence of filtration:
[0039]
[0040]
[0041] In the formula, W(0,t) is the fracture tip width, m; v is Poisson's ratio, decimal; G T is shear modulus, MPa; H is fracture height, m;
[0042] When water injection is carried out by pressure drive, there is no proppant in the fracture, and the fracture space is the whole effective flow space, in which the flow follows the compound cubic law, and combined with Darcy formula, the fracture permeability characterization formula and the fracture conductivity characterization formula of pressure drive water injection can be obtained:
[0043]
[0044]
[0045] In the formula, K wzcf0 is the initial fracture permeability, mD; W(0,t) is the width of the fracture at any time, m; KW f is the fracture conductivity, mD·m.
[0046] In step 1, equations (11) and (12) are the fracture length and width formulas considering the influence of filtration, and equation (14) is the pressure drive fracture conductivity characterization formula; combined with the mathematical model of oil-water seepage of pressure drive water injection, the pressure analysis model of pressure drive water injection well can be formed.
[0047] In step 2, according to the given pressure analysis model of pressure drive water injection well, the pressure analysis model of pressure drive water injection well is discretized, and the finite difference method is used to solve.
[0048] In step 2, in the seepage differential equation of oil and water phases, the unknown quantities are p o , p w , s o , s w , and the independent variables are (x,y,t); the difference equations of oil and water phases can be obtained by expanding the difference of the seepage differential equation of oil and water phases:
[0049]
[0050]
[0051] wherein: β o = p o φs o (C p + C o ), β w = p w φs w (C p + C w ), V i,j = Δx i Δy j h, Q oi,j = q oi,j · Δx i Δy j h, Q wi,j = q wi,j · Δx i Δy j h, V pi,j = φ i,j · Δx i Δy j h,
[0052] wherein: V i,j is the volume of the grid (i,j), m 3 ; Q oi,j , Q wi,j is the production or injection of the grid (i,j), m 3 / d; V pi,j is the pore volume of the grid (i,j), m 3 ; T ox , T wx , T oy , T wy are the conductivities of the water and oil phases; h is the unit grid thickness, m; φ is the porosity, decimal; C p is the rock compressibility, MPa -1 ; C o is the oil compressibility, MPa -1 ; C w is the water compressibility, MPa -1 ; t is the model simulation time, d.
[0053] In step 2, the pressure is implicitly solved using the IMPES method, by s o = 1 - s w , and letting A = p o / p wThen equation (15) + equation (16) x A can eliminate the saturation term of the above equation group, and the following equation is obtained:
[0054]
[0055] Where:
[0056]
[0057] At each node, equation (17) is used to form equations, and a five-diagonal equation group is obtained. The pressure can be solved by solving the equation, and the water saturation can be explicitly solved by substituting the pressure obtained above into the water phase difference equation (16). The fracture length and width can be obtained by using equations (11) and (12), and the fracture conductivity can be obtained by combining equation (14). Finally, the fracture length, conductivity, pressure and saturation distribution are updated, and the simulation calculation at the next time is carried out, so as to realize the solution of the injection well pressure analysis model of pressure drive.
[0058] In step 3, the bottom hole pressure of the injection well obtained by solving the injection well pressure analysis model considering the influence of the fracture induced by pressure drive is dimensionless, and is fitted with the actual reservoir data to obtain the double logarithmic pressure analysis curve of the injection well. According to the curve, different flow stages of the reservoir in the fracturing process are judged.
[0059] In step 3, the obtained bottom hole pressure of the injection well and the pressure drive time are substituted into formula (19) and (20) to become dimensionless pressure and time:
[0060]
[0061]
[0062] In the formula, k is the permeability, μm 2 ; h is the thickness of the oil layer, m; q is the surface flow rate, m 3 / d; B is the volume coefficient, m 3 / m 3 ; p i is the original formation pressure, MPa; p wf is the bottom hole flowing pressure, MPa; μ is the viscosity, mpa·s; t is the time, h; φ is the porosity, decimal; r w is the wellbore radius, m.
[0063] In step 3, the dimensionless pressure, dimensionless time and actual injection well data of the reservoir are used to draw the double logarithmic pressure analysis curve of the injection well and analyze and divide different flow stages.
[0064] In step 4, the actual bottom hole pressure data of the injection well and the pressure drive time are substituted into formula (21) and (22) to become dimensionless pressure and time:
[0065]
[0066]
[0067] In the formula, k is the permeability, in μm 2 h is the oil layer thickness, in meters; q is the surface flow rate, in cubic meters per second. 3 / d; B is the volume coefficient, m 3 / m 3 ;p i The original formation pressure is given in MPa; p wf φ is the bottom hole flow pressure, MPa; μ is the viscosity, MPa·s; t is the time, h; φ is the porosity, decimal; r w Let be the radius of the wellbore, in meters (m).
[0068] In step 4, by continuously modifying the adjustable parameters in the water injection well pressure analysis model that considers the influence of water injection-induced fractures, and fitting them with the actual water injection well data, the water injection well pressure analysis model that best fits the actual water injection well data is finally obtained. The formation and fracture physical properties in this model are the formation and fracture physical properties that best fit the actual water injection well data.
[0069] This invention presents a pressure analysis method for water injection wells that considers the influence of fractures induced by pressure-driven water injection. Starting from the perspective of fracture propagation, it utilizes seepage mechanics theory and numerical simulation methods. Based on factors such as fracture propagation, fracture morphology, and fluid loss from injected fluid, it establishes an oil-water two-phase seepage model, corrects the linear fracture propagation model, and couples them to form a pressure analysis model for pressure-driven water injection wells, providing a solution method. Secondly, it analyzes the bottom-hole pressure response characteristics of pressure-driven water injection wells and applies them to actual wells to verify the accuracy of the established model. This patent provides strong support for the development of low-permeability reservoirs using pressure-driven water injection. This invention establishes a pressure analysis model for water injection wells that considers dynamic fracture propagation using seepage mechanics theory and numerical calculation methods, which has certain technical difficulties and can determine the fluid flow stages in the reservoir at different production times.

[0081] The following are several specific embodiments of the present application
[0082] Embodiment 1

The specific process of establishing the mathematical model of oil and water seepage and the fracture expansion model during the water injection is as follows:
[0085] The control equations of oil and water two-phase flow are respectively:
[0086]
[0087]
[0088] In the formula, k is the absolute permeability, mD; K r is the relative permeability, decimal; μ is the viscosity, mpa·s; ρ is the density, kg / m 3 ; φ is the porosity, decimal; s is the saturation, decimal; p is the pressure of any point at any time, MPa; G is the starting pressure gradient, MPa / m; subscript: o is the oil phase, w is the water phase.

[0121] The pressure is implicitly solved using the IMPES method, by s o = 1 - s w , and letting A = p o / p w , then equation (15) + equation (16) x A can eliminate the saturation term of the above equation group, and obtain:

[0137] By continuously modifying the adjustable parameters in the pressure analysis model of the injection well that considers the influence of water injection-induced fractures, and fitting them with actual pressure-driven well data, the pressure analysis model of the injection well that best fits the actual pressure-driven well data is finally obtained. The physical properties of the formation and fractures in this model are the physical properties of the formation and fractures that are closest to those of the actual pressure-driven well.

In solving the pressure analysis model for pressure-driven water injection wells, the first step is to input the basic parameters required by the model: N. x N y N t ,NN,Ψ,Φ,C t ,k,h,v,G T H, s w (i), k ro (i), k rw (i), Q pro Q inj p i s oi s wc Initialize each grid and assign external boundary conditions to the model. Then, solve for k for each grid using interpolation. ro and k rw The flow coefficient of each grid is calculated using the basic parameters of the reservoir and the derived pressure analysis model of the pressure-driven water injection well. The fracture length and fracture width are calculated in discrete time. Based on the same conductivity, the actual permeability of the fracture is converted into the permeability of the reservoir grid. Then, a five-diagonal equation system is listed. The pressure value at different grid nodes is obtained by solving the equation system. The saturation is calculated explicitly and the next cycle is performed until the simulation time ends.
