Description

Technical Field

[0001] The patent of this invention belongs to the technical field of gas injection development of deep oil reservoirs, and specifically relates to a quantitative evaluation method and related devices for the storage state of microscopic residual oil in gas drive after water drive. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous deepening of exploration of complex reservoirs in deep oil reservoirs, the development of deep oil reservoirs has received widespread attention. However, with the long-term development of water drive, the remaining oil has gradually changed from concentrated distribution to dispersed distribution, resulting in a significant decrease in production. The study of the distribution law of remaining oil is an important means of the water control and oil stabilization development strategy in the middle and late stages of oil field development, and is a strong guarantee for the efficient exploitation of crude oil. At present, the research on the macroscopic distribution law of remaining oil and the simulation development with the help of numerical simulation software has been relatively in-depth. In terms of microscopic remaining oil research, China began research in 1978, and successfully developed a photolithography simulation microscopic model in 1985, providing an intuitive and clear means of observation. At present, there are three commonly used methods for macroscopic quantification of residual oil in different microscopic occurrence states. The first is to conduct displacement experiments on a microfluidic chip with a porous network structure that can simulate the pore structure through microscopic experimental observation, and obtain the microscopic occurrence state and proportional relationship of the crude oil; the second is the digital core method, which uses CT quantitative and three-dimensional visualization to test the occurrence state of reservoir tight oil, obtains a three-dimensional image through digital reconstruction of two-dimensional slice images, divides the tight oil into different occurrence states, and statistically calculates the volume of tight oil in each occurrence state, and analyzes the volume or mass of tight oil in each occurrence state; the third is to combine macroscopic numerical simulation with microscopic observation experiments to conduct macroscopic quantification of microscopic residual oil in different microscopic occurrence states. Existing studies are mainly aimed at statistically analyzing the occurrence state of microscopic residual oil in the water flooding process at normal temperature and pressure, and obtaining the relative amount of microscopic residual oil in different occurrence states under conventional normal pressure conditions. It is impossible to quantitatively, quickly and accurately evaluate the occurrence state of microscopic residual oil in gas flooding after water flooding in deep oil reservoirs.

[0039] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a quantitative evaluation method and related device for the microscopic residual oil occurrence state after water flooding and gas flooding. It includes the following steps: the distribution state of crude oil in the porous network structure is obtained, and the target pixels of the color image are statistically calculated to obtain the size and shape of the residual oil and other parameters, so as to obtain the occurrence state of the crude oil according to the proportional relationship. Based on the high temperature and high pressure microscopic visualization experimental platform, the residual oil quantitative analysis system is used to complete the extraction of the residual oil occurrence state information, and the distribution state of the residual oil in the pores is judged by observing the color image. The result characterizes the characteristics of the microscopic distribution of the residual oil, and provides technical support for the adaptability evaluation of gas injection to enhance the recovery rate after water flooding in deep oil reservoirs.

[0041] The present invention provides a quantitative evaluation method for the occurrence state of microscopic residual oil in gas drive after water drive, which comprises the following steps:

[0042] S1. Use core casting thin section experiments to obtain the pore structure of the real core, determine and make a glass etching model of the specific pore throat structure. Based on the high temperature and high pressure micro-displacement experimental device for deep oil reservoirs, water and gas drive experiments under different injection and production parameters are carried out to obtain static and dynamic experimental data of micro-displacement.

[0043] S2. Analyze the pressure and injection time data in the data, draw a relationship diagram between the pressure at both ends of the chip injection and the image recording time at different displacement times, clarify the image range of different displacement stages, and divide different injection stages such as water drive and gas drive;

[0044] S3, according to the principle of video frame extraction and storage, the image data of the water drive and gas drive stages are read and processed frame by frame respectively;

[0045] S4, statistically calculate the target pixels of the color image to extract the characteristic parameters such as the size and shape of the remaining oil, classify the remaining oil types according to the spatial resolution and edge data of each area, and establish a series of connected histograms with group interval as the base and frequency as the height according to the distribution of quality data collected from the production process to quantitatively characterize the occurrence state of crude oil. Its main steps are:

[0046] Input color image to perform statistical calculation of target pixels;

[0047] ② Calculate the distance distribution of each grid point from the boundary of the remaining oil using the Matlab bwdist function;

[0048] This function calculates the Euclidean distance transform of a binary image, as well as the nearest pixel map of the image. The syntax is:

[0049] D = bwdist(BW)

[0050] [D,idx]=bwdist(BW)

[0051] [D,idx]=bwdist(BW,method)

[0052] ③ Filtering processing Matlab imgaussfilt3 function;

[0053] This function performs a 3D Gaussian filter on a 3D image (spatial filter function)

[0054] Syntax: B = imgaussfilt3(A)

[0055] B = imgaussfilt3(A, sigma)

[0056] B=imgaussfilt3(——, Name, Value)

[0057] ④ Watershed calculation Matlab watershed function;

[0058] L = WATERSHED(A) computes a label matrix that identifies the watersheds of the input matrix A. A can be of any dimension. The elements of L are all integers greater than or equal to 0. Elements with a label value of 0 do not belong to any watershed, and are called "watersheds". Elements with a label value of 1 belong to the first watershed, elements with a label value of 2 belong to the second watershed, and so on.

[0059] ⑤ When preprocessing the irregular geometric shape of residual oil in the image, the shape factor is used to distinguish each adhesion area and accurately divide the residual oil type. Here, it is necessary to calculate the equivalent area and perimeter of the residual oil by identifying the spatial resolution and edges of each area: first, calculate the sum of the number of pixels in each connected area, which is the equivalent area of ​​the connected area of ​​the residual oil; then use the chain code principle to calculate the perimeter of each area. The shape factor F is calculated by the following formula:

[0060] F=4πS / L 2

[0061] Among them, S is the area of ​​a connected region; L is its perimeter.

[0062] ⑥ Statistically calculate the remaining oil area of ​​each block, obtain the area probability distribution, and establish a statistical data analysis histogram.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, the pore structure of the real core is obtained by using the core casting thin section experiment, and the glass etching model of the specific pore throat structure is determined and produced by preprocessing, segmenting, restoring and correcting the core scanning image, so that the glass etching model has a porous network structure that can simulate the pore structure;

[0064] The microfluidic chip is observed through a microscope to obtain the distribution state of crude oil in the porous network structure, and the target pixels of the color image are statistically calculated to obtain parameters such as the size and shape of the remaining oil, so as to obtain the occurrence state of the crude oil according to the proportional relationship. The main steps are:

[0065] Oil, gas and water distribution, red represents residual oil;

[0066] Calculate the distance distribution of each grid point from the boundary of the remaining oil using the Matlab bwdist function;

[0067] Filtering processing Matlab imgaussfilt3 function;

[0068] Watershed calculation Matlab watershed function;

[0069] Statistically calculate the remaining oil area of ​​each block and obtain the area probability distribution;
