Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a method for determining the plugging length of a horizontal well of a fractured water breakthrough oil well, and a plugging method, and belongs to the technical field of oil and gas exploration and development. BACKGROUND

[0002] Low-permeability fractured reservoirs have strong heterogeneity, and natural fractures and micro-fractures are developed. After multi-stage fracturing reconstruction of a horizontal well, artificial fractures are complex, and in the process of water injection development, it is more likely to form a communication between the artificial fractures and the natural fractures between the injection wells. Since the matrix permeability of the reservoir is much smaller than the fracture permeability, in the process of water injection development, injected water is extremely easy to flow directly into the wellbore along the high-permeability fractures, resulting in ineffective displacement of water injection, and ultimately causing water breakthrough in the fractured horizontal well, rapid water cut rise, and low recovery degree. In view of the above problems in water injection development, measures such as water control and water plugging need to be taken for the fractured horizontal well of the oil well to expand the swept volume of the injected water and improve the recovery of crude oil.

[0003] Existing technologies and documents focus on measures and processes for improving or improving the plugging of water breakthrough horizontal wells in fractured reservoirs. For example, the patent document with the application publication number CN108003854A discloses a channeling sealing agent for plugging difficult buried hill fractured reservoirs, which includes 34-60 parts of oil sludge, 0.2-0.5 parts of thickening agent, 0.5-1 parts of foaming agent, 1.5-2.5 parts of polypropylene phthalate, 0.05-0.15 parts of adjusting agent, 0.05-0.25 parts of crosslinking agent, and 1.0-3.0 parts of body expansion particles, and the balance is water. In 2003, how to sail in the water plugging research of deep fractured reservoirs, in-depth research was carried out around the water plugging technology such as pump injection equipment, pump injection parameters, pump injection process, and plugging radius and plugging agent dosage, and it was concluded that high-strength body expansion plugging agent and modified tannin plugging agent could meet the requirements of water plugging in deep fractured reservoirs.

[0004] But the above researches are all around the water plugging technology, and how to reasonably plug the water breakthrough well section of the horizontal well in the fractured reservoir to realize the effective utilization of injected water, tap the remaining oil and improve the recovery degree. At present, the main technical means is to determine the main water breakthrough section of the horizontal well of the oil well through the saturation logging data, water absorption of the injection well or the oil well, and liquid production profile test data, and to carry out single plugging in a targeted manner. However, in the water injection development, the plugging of the main water breakthrough section of the horizontal well cannot effectively control the rising speed of the water content of the oil well. With the increase of the injection pressure of the injection well, the horizontal well opens the remaining artificial fracture section and the natural fracture to communicate, causes the secondary breakthrough of the injected water, and makes the water content continue to increase, which finally affects the water plugging effect. Moreover, if the main water breakthrough section of the horizontal well of the oil well is simply and greatly plugged, the length of the effective production section of the horizontal well will be reduced, the drainage area of the horizontal well will be reduced, the oil loss will be caused, and finally the recovery degree of the reservoir will be affected. Therefore, it is very important to reasonably plug the length of the horizontal well of the oil well in combination with the geological characteristics in the fractured reservoir, which can guide the engineering construction and achieve the effect of achieving the goal with half the effort. SUMMARY

[0056] The technical solutions of the present application are further described below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0057] Embodiment 1

[0058] This embodiment takes the A1 well group of the H oilfield fractured reservoir development direct injection flat mining as an example, and quantitatively optimizes the horizontal well plugging length of the fractured water breakthrough oil well according to the method of the present application.

[0059] The method for determining the horizontal well plugging length of the fractured water breakthrough oil well in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , includes the following steps:

[0060] 1) Establish a dual medium three-dimensional numerical model representing the characteristics of the fractured reservoir:

[0061] ① Use the electric logging data and core data of all single wells in the target area (i.e. the area where the A1 well group is located), combined with regional sedimentary markers and stable mudstone interbeds, and the development of physical property interbeds to determine the sublayer division scheme; use the sublayer division scheme, combined with seismic data and breakpoints, faults, sedimentary facies and physical property interpretation data to establish a dual medium three-dimensional geological model of the fractured reservoir;

[0062] ② Based on the three-dimensional geological model established in the above step, combined with the oil, gas and water fluid physical properties and oil and water well production dynamic data of the fractured reservoir in the target area, a dual medium three-dimensional numerical model representing the characteristics of the fractured reservoir is established and history matching is performed, and the matching results are shown in Figures 2-3 ( Figure 2 INJ1, INJ2, INJ3, INJ4 are injection wells, and PRO-P1, PRO-P2 are oil well horizontal wells); the oil, gas and water fluid physical properties of the fractured reservoir here include PVT data, relative permeability curves, rock data; the oil and water well production dynamic data here include oil and water well history and production data;

[0063] 2) According to the oil and water well logging monitoring data and oil and water well production dynamic data collected from the mine site, such as production profile, water injection profile and temperature, combined with the history matching results of the dual medium three-dimensional numerical model established in step 1), the main water breakthrough section (A4-A5) of the oil well horizontal well fracturing is determined, as shown in Figure 4 .

[0064] The main water outlet section is a section that meets the following characteristics: the corresponding comprehensive water cut of the section is higher than the water cut of the rest of the most open sections of the horizontal well of the oil well; or the water absorption percentage of the water injection layer corresponding to the section in the water absorption profile data of the water well over the years is greater than or equal to 45%, and the remaining oil saturation of the section is lower than the remaining oil saturation of the rest of the most open sections of the horizontal well of the oil well (the number of most open sections refers to more than 75% of the total number of open sections of the horizontal well of the oil well).

[0065] 3) According to the fracture monitoring data collected on the mine site and the fracturing operation summary data, the artificial fracture position and the number of artificial fracture sections of the horizontal well of the oil well after fracturing in the fractured reservoir are determined, and the number of artificial fracture sections is denoted as n;

[0066] 4) On the basis of step 3), a scheme of different plugging lengths of the horizontal well section of the oil well is designed: the scheme includes a plugging scheme of only plugging the main water outlet section, and a plugging scheme of plugging the section centered on the main water outlet section A4-A5 of the horizontal well of the oil well (the length is 1 / n of the total length of the horizontal section, n is the number of artificial fracture sections of the horizontal well of the oil well), and a plugging scheme formed by plugging the edge section on both sides of the main water outlet section by a unit step of 1 / n of the total length of the horizontal section (i.e. the distance between adjacent artificial fracture sections, n is the number of artificial fracture sections of the horizontal well of the oil well) from near to far, a total of 8 plugging schemes, as shown in Table 1.

[0067] Table 1 Design table of different plugging proportion schemes of horizontal well sections

[0068]

[0069] Using the principle that the change of the length proportion of the different plugging sections causes the change of the angle between the water injection flow line and the natural fracture and the artificial fracture, the production and development indexes of the injection and production well groups in the reservoir under different plugging schemes are simulated and predicted under the same production conditions within the same production time. The development indexes mainly include cumulative oil production, water cut and recovery degree, etc. When calculating the production indexes of different plugging schemes, the production dynamic data of the well group before plugging is kept unchanged, i.e. daily water injection of 20m 3 , daily liquid production of 20t, and injection-production ratio of 1. On this basis, the development and production index changes of each scheme after 15 years of production of the horizontal well under the 8 plugging schemes are simulated and predicted, and the simulation results are shown in Table 2.

[0070] Table 2 Production index results table of different plugging proportion schemes of horizontal well sections

[0072] The results of the numerical simulation software show that the relationship between the recovery percent of the well group after 15 years of production and the length proportion of the plugged well section is an "n" type curve: when the length proportion of the plugged water-bearing well section is in the range of 0-5 / 9, the recovery percent increases with the increase of the length proportion of the plugged section, but the increase amplitude gradually decreases; when the length proportion of the plugged water-bearing well section is in the range of 4 / 9-5 / 9, the recovery percent decreases with the increase of the length proportion of the plugged section. With the increase of the length proportion of the plugged section, the water cut of the well group is effectively controlled. According to the injection-production flow line diagram of the corresponding direct injection flat production well group, it is analyzed that when the injection-production flow line along the high permeability strip is at an angle of 30-45° with the horizontal reservoir production well section, the water drive swept range after water injection is large, the utilization rate of the injected water is improved, and the potential of the remaining oil enrichment area is effectively developed, as shown in Figs. Figure 5 、 6 、7.

[0073] 5) According to the production indexes of each scheme obtained in step 4), the water drive volume sweep efficiency under different plugging schemes is calculated, and the water drive volume sweep efficiency is calculated by using the following formula. According to the new water drive characteristic curve formula , the a and b under each scheme are determined;

[0074] The calculation formula of the water drive volume sweep efficiency Ev is:

[0075]

[0076] In the formula, E v is the water drive volume sweep efficiency; B oi is the oil volume coefficient under the initial state of the reservoir; B o is the oil volume coefficient under the current condition; f w is the comprehensive water cut of the reservoir, %; the results are shown in Tables 3, Figure 8 and Figure 9 .

[0079] 6) The production indexes and the water drive volume sweep efficiency of different plugging schemes in step 4) are comprehensively considered, the comprehensive water cut and the water drive volume sweep efficiency are selected as the comprehensive evaluation indexes, the weights are each 0.5, and the final evaluation index R is calculated, wherein the results are shown in Table 4, and the evaluation index R change curve is shown in Figure 10 .

[0082] According to the results in Table 4, the scheme 6 is determined, i.e. the reasonable length of the water plugging section of the horizontal well of the oil well in the fractured reservoir is 5 / 9 of the total length of the horizontal well. When the injection-production flow line along the high-permeability strip of the fracture is at an angle of 45° with the well section of the horizontal reservoir, the development effect of the well group and the control of the water cut rising speed are optimal.

[0085] Example 3

[0086] The method for determining the length of the water plugging section of the horizontal well of the fractured water breakthrough oil well in this example is different from that of Example 1 only in that the size of the water drive volume sweep efficiency is calculated by using the cumulative oil production, the comprehensive water cut and the crude oil viscosity, and the calculation method of the water drive volume sweep efficiency is as follows:
