Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development, and in particular, to a method for evaluating the pollution radius and plugging removal effect of reinjected sewage in an oilfield. Background Art
[0002] In the initial stage of oilfield development, the reserves of petroleum are quite abundant, the reservoir pressure is high, and most of the oil production wells are flowing wells. Therefore, the production efficiency is high and the cost is low. As the crude oil in the formation is continuously exploited, the formation pressure gradually decreases, and the crude oil cannot rise from the formation to the surface by itself. The original flowing oil production method can no longer be continuously carried out. In order to enable the oilfield to continue production operation, it is necessary to inject corresponding media into the formation to supplement the formation energy, so as to achieve the purpose of efficient oil production. Among them, the method of water injection for oil production is the most common and widespread, and is the method commonly used in major oilfields at home and abroad.
[0003] With the continuous increase in the intensity of oil and gas exploration and development in China and the fact that most oil and gas fields have entered the middle and late stages of development, the produced water volume in the oil and gas production process has increased sharply. Due to the complex characteristics of produced water in oil and gas fields, such as high salinity, high content of petroleum-bacteria-suspended solids, many types and high content of organic matter-toxic heavy metals, and containing natural radioactive substances, it is difficult and costly to treat and dispose of. Under the existing technical conditions, in order to maintain normal production, after treatment by processes such as coagulation sedimentation and filtration, and taking safe and effective measures, reinjecting the produced water into active oil reservoirs, depleted and abandoned oil and gas reservoirs or geologically closed formations has become a commonly used disposal method in the oil and gas industry at home and abroad. Its advantages are: on the one hand, it is used to maintain the formation pressure, improve the crude oil recovery rate, and solve the water source problem of water flooding for oil production; on the other hand, it reduces the cost of treating and discharging up to standard and reduces the impact of produced water in oil and gas fields on the surface environment.
[0004] However, with the reinjection of sewage, affected by factors such as reservoir sensitivity and water quality incompatibility, the reservoir is prone to plugging of injection wells, resulting in an increase in the pressure of injection wells, a decrease in the injection volume, and a reduction in the productivity of corresponding oil wells, affecting the development level of the oilfield. For evaluating the pollution distance of reinjected sewage in the reservoir and the degree of plugging of the reservoir, generally, artificial cores or natural cores are used to simulate the pollution situation of the water injection interval in this block by plugging substances, and the plugging radius is calculated according to the core plugging law. At present, all relevant studies reported in the literature calculate the reduction of permeability using the pressure value at the injection end of a single pressure measurement point core, which fails to reflect the along - path distribution of suspended solids in the reinjected sewage in the core and cannot establish an evaluation standard for the degree of along - path pollution. Therefore, the existing physical simulation technical means lack an experimental process and standard for grading and evaluating the pollution radius and plugging removal effect of reinjected sewage in oilfields. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for evaluating the pollution radius and plugging removal effect of reinjected sewage in oilfields, which can be used to evaluate the pollution degree of injection wells and the effect of plugging removal measures, guide the on-site timely adoption of relevant measures, reduce the problem of the decline in water injection capacity caused by pollution, thereby extending the service life of injection wells and improving the oilfield development benefit.

[0016] Further, the specific method for evaluating the pollution degree and pollution radius according to the drag coefficient in step S3 above is: F Ri > 15, then it is extremely polluted, and the length of this area from the injection hole is the extremely polluted radius. 15 ≥ F Ri > 10, then it is severely polluted, and the length of this area from the injection hole is the severely polluted radius. 10 ≥ F Ri > 5, then it is moderately polluted, and the length of this area from the injection hole is the moderately polluted radius. 5 ≥ F Ri > 1, then it is slightly polluted, and the length of this area from the injection hole is the slightly polluted radius.
[0017] Further, the plugging removal agent in step S4 above includes one or more of acid plugging removal agent, oxidation plugging removal agent, surfactant plugging removal agent and bioenzyme plugging removal agent.
[0018] Further, the reaction time for closing all injection holes for reaction in step S4 above is 0.1 - 120 h.
[0019] Further, the injection volume of the plugging removal agent in step S4 above is 0.01 PV - 0.3 PV.

[0023] Further, the specific method for evaluating the pollution plugging removal degree according to the residual resistance coefficient in step S5 above is: 3 ≥ F RRi > 1, then the pollution plugging removal effect is good. 5 ≥ FRRi > 3, it indicates that the pollution removal effect is the second best, 10 ≥ F RRi > 5, it indicates that the pollution removal effect is better, 15 ≥ F RRi > 10, it indicates that the pollution removal effect is relatively poor, F RRi > 15, it indicates that the pollution removal effect is poor.
[0024] The method of the present application can be used to evaluate the pollution degree of injection wells and the effect of plugging removal measures. First, using artificial homogeneous multi-pressure-point cast cores can reflect the along-path distribution of suspended solids in the reinjected sewage within the core, thereby providing accurate values for establishing evaluation indicators of the along-path pollution degree of reinjected sewage. Secondly, calculating in stages during the sewage flooding can accurately measure the pollution degree of each region of the core. Furthermore, the backflow operation after plugging removal can prevent the tiny suspended solids generated by plugging removal from migrating deep into the core along with the subsequent fresh water flooding. At the same time, the staged displacement of the subsequent fresh water flooding can also prevent the suspended solids in the reinjected sewage from migrating backward under the drive of fresh water, thus avoiding affecting the evaluation of the plugging removal effect of each region. By accurately evaluating the pollution degree and plugging removal effect of injection wells, it is possible to guide the on-site timely adoption of relevant measures, reduce the problem of reduced water injection capacity caused by pollution, thereby extending the life of injection wells and enhancing the oilfield development benefit.

[0028] 3. The backflow operation after plugging removal can prevent the tiny suspended solids generated by plugging removal from migrating deep into the core along with the subsequent fresh water flooding, thus avoiding affecting the evaluation of the pollution removal effect of each region;
[0029] 4. The staged displacement of the subsequent fresh water flooding can also prevent the suspended solids in the reinjected sewage from migrating backward under the drive of fresh water, thus avoiding affecting the evaluation of the plugging removal effect of each region.
