Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield gas injection, and in particular to a step-by-step optimization method for injection and production parameters of a gas-driven oil reservoir. Background Art

[0002] Gas injection development has now developed into a very important technology for improving oil recovery, which has been widely used at home and abroad and has achieved good development results. Studies have shown that gas injection development is of great significance for improving the development effects of different types of oil reservoirs such as high water content, low permeability, and shale oil. In recent years, after large-scale gas injection tests in multiple oil fields, my country has made major breakthroughs in gas injection development. Gas injection to improve oil recovery has gradually formed a complete set of development theories, supporting technologies and operation models. Gas injection to improve oil recovery has shown to be one of the most promising technologies. Injection and production parameters are important factors affecting the effect of gas drive, but currently the main method is to compare and select artificial design schemes, and pay more attention to injection parameters while ignoring the working system of production wells, resulting in poor synergy between injection and production. In addition, most of the current optimization methods have the problems of long time consumption and complex processes. Therefore, how to construct a set of efficient gas drive injection and production parameter fast methods is of great significance to improving the effect of gas drive development.

[0003] At present, the optimization methods of gas drive injection and production parameters mainly include empirical methods, indoor experimental methods and numerical simulation methods. However, these methods all have their own limitations. The empirical method can only determine the injection and production parameters qualitatively, with large errors and strong subjectivity, and has poor adaptability and generalization for reservoirs with different geological characteristics; although the current indoor experimental method can intuitively observe the seepage law during the gas drive development process, it is difficult to simulate the real reservoir development process due to the limitation of experimental equipment. The main steps of the core drive experiment include core preparation, water drive, gas drive and other processes. Among them, the gas drive process is complicated and has high requirements for experimental equipment. In addition, for flammable and explosive dangerous gases, the experimental process has great safety hazards. It can be seen that the core drive experiment process is extremely cumbersome and complex, time-consuming and high experimental cost. In addition, since core drive is a one-dimensional displacement process, the gas drive recovery rate obtained by the long core drive experiment essentially reflects the gas drive oil recovery efficiency, while the actual reservoir gas drive is a three-dimensional displacement process and is affected by factors such as reservoir heterogeneity. Therefore, the values ​​of the core drive experiment are usually significantly higher than the actual values ​​of the mine;

[0004] There are mainly the following methods for optimizing injection and production parameters of gas drive based on numerical simulation. The first is to optimize injection parameters only. During optimization, only the total gas injection volume and injection rate of the injection parameters are optimized, and the best solution is selected by comparing the recovery rate. This optimization is performed through artificial design schemes, which only pays attention to injection parameters and ignores the influence of the working system of production wells. It is not the real optimization of injection and production parameters. The second is to use the orthogonal design method to optimize the injection and production parameters of a single well group in a gas drive reservoir. However, the orthogonal design scheme is limited, and it is difficult to meet the actual needs of large-scale gas injection well groups in actual reservoirs. The third is the method of successive optimization of injection and production parameters. Based on the historical fitting basis of numerical simulation, the best solution is selected. On this basis, according to the method of successive optimization of injection and production parameters, the key parameters affecting the effect of gas injection development are studied in turn, and then the final recovery rate or cumulative oil production under different schemes are compared to select the best gas injection development parameters. However, this successive optimization method cannot take into account the coordinated development effect of injection and production parameters, and cannot achieve balanced gas drive, which is very easy to form gas channeling and reduce the gas injection utilization rate; the fourth is to optimize the injection and production parameters by combining numerical simulation with optimization algorithm. The biggest drawback of this method is that the optimization algorithm needs to call the numerical simulator multiple times. The optimization effect is better for smaller gas injection well groups, but it takes a lot of time to optimize larger actual oil reservoirs, and multiple optimization and real-time optimization are difficult. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a step-by-step optimization method for injection and production parameters of a gas-driven oil reservoir, which can make full use of a small amount of conventional experimental test data, greatly shorten the time consumed by numerical simulation, and achieve simple, fast and accurate determination of gas-driven injection and production parameters, significantly improve the optimization time of gas-driven injection and production parameters, reduce related economic costs, and provide rapid and scientific technical support for on-site development decisions.

[0008] (2) Setting the optimization-related parameters as the injection-production parameters of each well and completing the preparation for injection-production optimization: On the basis of injection-production balance, a black oil simulator is used to establish a mathematical model for gas drive injection-production parameter optimization with maximum recovery rate as the objective function, and relevant optimization parameters and boundary conditions are set. Under the condition of predicting the simulation time and the total amount of gas injection, the daily gas injection rate of each gas injection well and the daily liquid production rate of each production well are optimized;

The optimization variables are the injection and production parameters of each well. The initial value of the optimization parameter is the fluid volume of each well when the recovery rate is the maximum in step (2). The upper and lower limits of the fluid volume of each well are ±20% of the initial value. The parameters such as the number of populations, the number of iterations, the boundary constraints, the equality constraints and the simulation time of the intelligent optimization algorithm are set to be the same as those in step (2). The fluid volume of each well in the reservoir is re-optimized to obtain the fluid volume of each well when the economic net present value is the maximum at the current well location.

[0099] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below through the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0100] Example

[0101] Based on the actual oil reservoir in Tarim 4 Taking the drive as an example, the process of this method is explained with an example.

[0102] In step 1, the basic parameters of the geological and development data of the H block of the actual Tarim oil reservoir are collected and sorted out: porosity, permeability, saturation, oil layer thickness, pressure, viscosity, relative permeability curve, reservoir well location, historical working system of injection wells and production wells, etc. The daily gas injection rate of a single well in this reservoir is about 8000m 3 (Underground volume is about 300m 3 ),like Figure 4 The permeability distribution is shown as Figure 5 The porosity distribution is shown in Figure 6 Saturation distribution shown.

[0103] In step 2, if Figure 2 Shown is the second step of the present invention.

[0104] (1) In step (2), set the optimization-related parameters as the injection-production parameters of each well to complete the injection-production optimization preparation. Setting the optimization-related parameters includes: specifying 8 wells to be optimized, including 2 gas injection wells and 6 production wells;

[0105] (2) Set the constraints of each optimization variable. For production wells, the constraint is the lower limit of the single well production velocity 0m 3 / d, the upper limit of single well fluid production rate is 100m 3 / d; For gas injection wells, the lower limit of single well gas injection velocity is 0m 3 / d, upper limit of gas injection speed in a single well: 300m 3 / d (underground volume); total gas injection volume is 300m 3 / d; Under the condition of injection-production balance, the sum of the daily liquid production rates of the six production wells is equal to the sum of the daily gas injection rates of the two gas injection wells;

[0106] (3) According to the actual needs of the site, in order to prevent gas channeling, the gasoline ratio constraint is set to 3000m 3 / m 3 When the gas-oil ratio of the production well reaches 3000m3 / m 3 The optimization objective function is the recovery rate of the last time step at the end of the simulation; the minimum recovery rate constraint is set to 10%, and when the recovery rate of the offspring is less than 10%, the algorithm will impose corresponding penalties;

[0107] (4) Select the global search algorithm CMA-ES, and optimize the injection and production parameters based on the black oil numerical simulator. The simulation time is 10 years, the population size is 20, the number of iterations is 400, and the optimization objective function is the recovery rate. Generate a new generation of injection and production schemes through the offspring generation strategy in the global random search algorithm. Determine whether the newly generated injection and production scheme meets the constraints. If not, recalculate until the constraints are met; calculate the recovery rate under each scheme in the current iteration step, iterate and determine whether the optimization termination condition is met. If not, repeat the steps until the optimization termination condition is met. Table 1 shows the injection and production parameters of each well when the optimal recovery rate is obtained based on the first step of optimization of the black oil simulator;

[0111] (1) Based on the daily liquid production rate of each production well when the recovery factor is maximum obtained in step (2), on the basis of injection-production balance, the daily gas injection rate (underground) of the two wells is equal to the daily liquid production rate of the six wells:

[0112] I gt =Q Lt (1)

[0113] (2) Based on the injection and production parameters of each well when the recovery factor is maximum obtained in step (2), a component simulator is used to establish a mathematical model for optimizing gas drive injection and production parameters with the economic net present value (NPV) as the objective function. The intelligent optimization algorithm CMA-ES algorithm is used to perform the second step optimization of the injection and production parameters of each well. The total gas injection volume of the gas injection well is the same as that of the first step optimization. The optimization variables are the injection and production parameters of each well. The initial value of the optimization variable is the fluid volume of each well when the recovery factor is maximum in step 2. The upper and lower limits of the optimization variables are ±20% of the initial value, as shown in Table 2. The number of populations related to the intelligent optimization algorithm is set to 20, the number of iterations is 400, the boundary constraints and equality constraints are the same as those in step 2, and the simulation time is 10 years. The fluid volume of each well in the reservoir is optimized, and it is iterated to determine whether the optimization termination condition is met. If not, the steps are repeated until the optimization termination condition is met to obtain the fluid volume of each well when the economic net present value is maximum at the current well location.

[0114] Table 2 Constraints of injection and production parameters for each well in the second step

[0115]

[0116] A mathematical model for optimizing injection and production parameters of continuous gas drive with maximum economic net present value as the objective function is established:

[0117]

[0118] In the formula, are the oil and gas production of the i-th well in the k-th year, in tons / year or cubic meters / year, which can be obtained through numerical simulation of components; r gp The sales gas price is 1 yuan / cubic meter; op is the oil sales price, 2500 yuan / ton; c gi is the gas injection cost, 1.5 yuan / m3; N t is the evaluation period, 10 years; b is the discount rate, 0.1; c is the discount rate, 0.1; wi The cost of water injection is 30 yuan per cubic meter.

[0119] (4) Sorting out the optimization results, forming a gas drive injection and production parameter optimization scheme, as shown in Table 3, for CH block H of the Tarim oil reservoir. 4 The injection and production parameters of the best wells obtained by step-by-step optimization and direct optimization by component simulation. By comparing the injection and production schemes obtained by step-by-step optimization and direct optimization by component simulation, it can be found that the error of the optimal liquid volume of each well is basically less than 10%; Figure 7 and Figure 8 The optimization process of step-by-step optimization and direct optimization using component simulator is compared. As can be seen from the figure, step-by-step optimization can significantly improve the convergence speed of the optimization process. In the second step of optimization, the optimal NPV is achieved after about 100 iterations. Fig. 9 It can be seen that compared with direct optimization using the component simulator, the total time consumption was reduced by 540 minutes and the optimization efficiency was improved by more than 60%. Fig.10 It can be seen that the comparison of the cumulative oil production results of different optimization methods shows that although the effect of step-by-step optimization is slightly worse than that of direct optimization by component simulation (the error is less than 3%), the optimization efficiency is greatly improved.
