Problems solved by technology

In the middle and later stages of steam huff and puff, problems such as steam channeling, interference between wells, and low utilization rate of pressure energy and heat energy of injected steam often occur, which is not conducive to slowing down the decline of reservoir pressure and single well production, and is not conducive to prolonging the life of huff and puff production

Abstract

The invention is a method for multi-well cyclic steam stimulation thickened oil recovery by thermal recovery-steam injection technique, selecting: oil-layer depth in oil reservoir<1800m, residual oil saturation > 0.40, total oil-layer thickness > 5.0m, net-total thickness ratio >0.4, oil-layer porosity >0.15, and permeation rate variation coefficient <0.8; placing adjacent steam channeling wells and steam channeled wells (above two) together in the same group, simultaneously making steam injection in the well drainage sequence or block cluster well sequence, where steam injection strength of single well is 50-200 cu m / m and the well-bottom dryness fraction is greater than 50%, then stewing them, and finally opening them for production in the same sequence as above-mentioned. It can prevent steam channeling and interference between wells, effectively supplements pressure energy to oil layers and helps enlarge the steam spread range, and can increase the oil-layer pressure by about 2MPa as compared with single well steam stimulation method. It can both increase single-well output and prolong the life of steam stimulation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to oil exploitation, which is a method for exploiting heavy oil by using thermal recovery and steam injection technology to carry out multi-well overall huffing and puffing. Background technique [0002] Steam huff and puff is a production technology that periodically injects steam into oil wells to increase the production of heavy oil through heating to reduce viscosity and remove plugs. The production of heavy oil produced by steam huff and puff process accounts for about 80% of the total production of heavy oil thermal recovery in oil production. At present, the steam huff and puff production is carried out on a single well, and a large number of single well steam huff and puff practices show that there are many interwell interferences because the surrounding wells are not considered organically as a whole. There are two main reasons for its formation, one is due to the heterogeneity of the oil layer. For example, there are h...
