Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of exploration and development of petroleum and natural gas geological resources, and in particular relates to a method for rapidly predicting the EUR of shale oil wells in fault lake basins. Background Art

[0002] Oil and natural gas are important national strategic resources and the lifeblood of the national economy. Estimating the ultimate recoverable reserves (EUR) of individual wells is a key research topic in shale oil development programs. The most widely used model for predicting EUR for shale oil wells is the modified hyperbolic decline model. This model uses a super-hyperbolic decline model (i.e., b > 1) for production prediction in the first phase of shale oil and gas production, and an exponential decline model in the second phase. The key parameters for predicting EUR for individual wells using the hyperbolic decline model include the initial point, initial and final decline rates, limiting production rate, and the decline exponent. The initial point and decline rate are determined based on current production conditions, while the limiting production rate is calculated based on local economic indicators. The decline exponent, b, has high uncertainty and requires long-term tracking and analysis over a long production cycle, significantly impacting the EUR of individual wells. Consequently, there is currently a lack of evaluation methods that can rapidly predict the EUR of shale oil wells, particularly those targeting shale oil wells in fault-depression lake basins. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Among them, the pan-exponential yield decline model is:

[0019]

[0020] Among them, q i is the initial theoretical daily production of shale oil well; c is the fitting parameter.

[0022] Wherein, the logarithmic relationship is:

[0023] p i -p wf =C ln(t)+D (4)

[0024] In the formula: C, D are fitting parameters.

[0025] Furthermore, the pan-exponential production decline model is processed to obtain the initial theoretical daily production of shale oil wells q i And the method of fitting parameter c is:

[0026] Taking the natural logarithm of the pan-exponential yield decline model, we get the linear regression relationship:

[0027] ln q=α-βt 0.5 (5)

[0028] α=ln q i (6)

[0029]

[0030] Where: α, β are fitting parameters;

[0031] And use the processed data to fit lnq and t 0.5 The relationship is used to obtain the initial theoretical daily production of shale oil wells q i and fitting parameter c.

[0032] Furthermore, the relationship between the cumulative production of shale oil wells and production time is obtained as follows:

[0033]

[0034] Furthermore, the original production data includes original formation pressure, production time, oil pressure, casing pressure, bottom hole flowing pressure, and daily oil production.

[0035] Furthermore, the original production data needs to be obtained from shale oil wells in the lake basin that have been in production for more than half a year and have a clear decreasing trend.

[0036] Furthermore, when processing the acquired raw production data of a single shale oil well, it is necessary to remove the shut-in points in the production data.

[0053] in,

[0054] The output per unit pressure drop is:

[0055] Material balance time is:

[0056] q is the daily production of shale oil wells; p i is the initial formation pressure; p wf is the bottom hole flowing pressure; Q is the cumulative production of the oil well;

[0057] Get p i -p wf The functional relationship between the daily output q of shale oil wells and the production time t is obtained;

[0058] Obtain the relationship between the cumulative production of shale oil wells and production time. When the oil well production reaches the abandoned production, obtain the corresponding production time at this time. The cumulative production Q of the oil well at this time is the EUR of the oil well.

[0059] Specifically, the output q under unit pressure drop is determined according to the established chart. a Equilibrium time with material lgt m The functional relationship between them is an exponential relationship, an exponential equation is established, and the functional relationship is fitted using the processed data to obtain the fitting parameters A and B in the exponential equation;

[0060] The exponential equation is:

[0061]

[0062] Where: A and B are fitting parameters and are dimensionless.

[0063] In addition, the functional relationship between the daily production q of shale oil wells and the production time t is expressed by a pan-exponential production decline model with m = 0.5, and the model is processed to obtain the initial theoretical daily production q of shale oil wells i and fitting parameter c;

[0064] Among them, the pan-exponential yield decline model is:

[0065]

[0066] Among them, q i is the initial theoretical daily production of shale oil well; c is the fitting parameter.

[0067] Can be considered, p i -p wf The functional relationship between θ and the production time t adopts a logarithmic relationship, and the processed data is used to fit the logarithmic relationship to obtain fitting parameters C and D in the logarithmic relationship;

[0068] Wherein, the logarithmic relationship is:

[0069] p i -p wf =C ln(t)+D (4)

[0070] In the formula: C, D are fitting parameters.

[0071] The pan-exponential production decline model is processed to obtain the initial theoretical daily production of shale oil wells q i And the method of fitting parameter c is:

[0085] The first step is to collect production performance data for Well G1. This data includes initial formation pressure, production time (number of days), oil pressure, casing pressure, bottomhole flowing pressure, and daily oil production. The production performance data must be collected for Well G1 for a period of more than six months and show a clear decreasing trend.

[0086] Step 2: Draw Figure 2 The production curve shown is the output q under unit pressure drop on the vertical axis. a , the horizontal axis is the material balance time lgt m , and remove the shut-in points in the production data. After removing the shut-in points, the production curve is as follows Figure 3 As shown;

[0087] The third step is to process the production data after removing the shut-in point according to formulas (1) and (2), and plot the vertical axis as the production q under unit pressure drop. a , the horizontal axis is lgt m The output-material balance time chart under unit pressure drop is as follows: Figure 4 As shown;

[0088] Step 4: Interception Figure 4 The exponential part of the data points is fitted, such as Figure 5 As shown, the parameters A=147.59 and B=2.283 are determined;

[0089] Step 5: Draw the pressure drop p i -p wf The relationship curve with time t, the fitting formula is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the parameters C = 3.6717, D = 19.547 are determined;

[0090] Step 6: Use the production data without the shut-in point to plot lnq and t 0.5 Relationship, fitting formula, such as Figure 7 As shown, the parameters α = 3.9555, β = 0.0767 are determined, and according to formulas (6) and (7), q is obtained. i =52.22, c=13.04;

[0091] Step 7: Substitute the above parameter values ​​into formula (9). Given the abandoned production of well G1, q ab is 0.4t / d, which corresponds to production time t=4036d, and the initial formation pressure p i is 50.05MPa, and the EUR is 8032.543t.
