Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas reservoir development technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for evaluating the remaining geological reserves in the middle and late stages of gas reservoir development. Background Technology

[0002] The assessment of remaining geological reserves in a gas reservoir is an extremely important part of gas reservoir development, especially in the later stages of gas reservoir development. Accurate assessment of remaining geological reserves can provide a reliable basis for gas reservoir development and also allow for reasonable adjustment of development technology strategies based on the assessment results. Therefore, rapid and accurate assessment of remaining geological reserves in the later stages of gas reservoir development is of great significance for the continuous and efficient development of natural gas.

[0003] Among related technologies, one method for evaluating the remaining geological reserves of a gas reservoir is the single-well control method, which estimates the controlled reserves of a single well using single-well geological parameters and well test data. Another method for evaluating the remaining geological reserves of a gas reservoir is the numerical simulation method, which establishes a mathematical model of the fluid seepage law in the gas reservoir, uses a computer to input relevant data into the mathematical model, and derives the fluid seepage change law based on the output values, thereby predicting the dynamics of actual gas reservoir development.

[0004] In the process of realizing this invention, the inventors discovered that the related technology has at least the following problems:

[0005] When calculating the remaining geological reserves of a gas reservoir using the single-well control method, not only is the accuracy of the division of the single-well control area relatively low, but also, due to the large well spacing between gas wells in the middle and late stages of gas reservoir development, the single-well control method takes into account less reservoir heterogeneity, resulting in low accuracy of the calculation results.

[0046] To make the technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for evaluating the remaining geological reserves in the mid-to-late stages of gas reservoir development, provided in an embodiment of this application. The method includes:

[0048] S101: Divide the area where the target gas reservoir is located into several grids, among which the grids within the gas-bearing area are effective grids;

[0049] S102: Obtain the original effective thickness, original effective porosity, and original gas saturation for each effective grid.

[0050] S103: Obtain the current formation pressure for each valid grid;

[0052] S105: Input the original effective thickness, original effective porosity, original gas saturation and current natural gas volume factor of each effective grid into the gas reservoir geological reserve calculation model to obtain the remaining natural gas geological reserves of the target gas reservoir.

[0053] The following provides a more detailed explanation of each step in the method for evaluating the remaining geological reserves in the middle and late stages of gas reservoir development provided in this embodiment.

[0054] The gas reservoir geological reserve calculation model used in step S105 is the following first formula:

[0055]

[0056] Where n is the number of valid grid cells, which is a positive integer; s is the area of ​​a single grid cell, in meters. 2 G r The remaining geological reserves of natural gas in the target gas reservoir are expressed in units of 10. 8 m 3 h x The original effective thickness of the x-th effective grid is expressed in meters. S represents the original effective porosity of the x-th effective grid, dimensionless; gx B represents the original gas saturation of the x-th effective grid, dimensionless; gxr Let be the current natural gas volume factor for the x-th valid grid, which is dimensionless.

[0057] Optionally, in step S104, the current natural gas volume factor for each effective grid is calculated based on the current formation pressure of each effective grid, including:

[0058] The current natural gas volume factor B for each effective grid is calculated based on the following second formula. gxr :

[0059]

[0060] Among them, T SC ρ is the surface standard temperature, in K; T is the average formation temperature of the target gas reservoir, in K; P SC This refers to the standard ground pressure, expressed in MPa; P x Z represents the current formation pressure of the xth effective grid, in MPa. x is the current gas deviation coefficient for the x-th effective grid, dimensionless.

[0061] Based on the first formula above, the remaining natural gas geological reserves of each effective grid can be obtained, and the remaining natural gas geological reserve abundance map of the target gas reservoir can be drawn based on the obtained remaining natural gas geological reserves of each effective grid.

[0062] Understandably, using the remaining natural gas geological reserve abundance map of the target gas reservoir allows for a more intuitive observation of the remaining geological reserves at various locations within the target gas reservoir, and also facilitates rapid adjustments to subsequent gas reservoir exploitation operations.

[0063] In summary, this application divides the gas reservoir in the study area into grids, calculates the current natural gas volume factor for each grid using the changing formation pressure, and inputs the obtained current natural gas volume factor for each grid, along with other original, unchanging parameters, into the gas reservoir geological reserve calculation model to calculate the current remaining geological reserves of the gas reservoir. This method for evaluating the remaining geological reserves in the mid-to-late stages of gas reservoir development not only ensures the accuracy of the results but also accelerates the evaluation process due to its ease of operation, thus demonstrating high timeliness.

[0064] To better illustrate the method of this application, the following explanation is based on practical applications:

[0065] Taking a homogeneous edge-water gas reservoir as an example, the original geological reserves of the reservoir are calculated according to the following third formula:

[0066]

[0067] Where G represents the original geological reserves of natural gas in the reservoir, in units of 10. 8 m 3 A represents the original gas-bearing area, in km². 2 h represents the original average effective thickness, in meters (m). S represents the original average effective porosity, which is dimensionless. gi B represents the original average gas saturation, dimensionless. gi This is the original volume coefficient of natural gas, dimensionless.

[0068] It should be noted that the original gas-bearing area A can be obtained from geological data; the original average effective thickness h and the original average effective porosity... It can be obtained from detailed description studies of gas reservoirs.

[0069] It should be noted that, since static data does not change when a gas reservoir enters the mid-to-late stages of development without the addition of new wells, the original gas-bearing area A, the original average effective thickness h, and the original average effective porosity remain unchanged. The original average gas saturation S will not change if the gas reservoir is not flooded or the flooding is within a preset range. gi The change is negligible, meaning it can be considered constant.

[0070] As gas reservoir development progresses, the reservoir will eventually deplete, and formation energy will continuously decrease, primarily manifested as a drop in formation pressure. The original volume factor of natural gas changes with variations in formation pressure; therefore, the original volume factor B of natural gas... gi This will result in significant changes. The relationship between formation pressure and the natural gas volume factor can be expressed by the following fourth formula:

[0071]

[0072] Among them, T SC The surface standard temperature is given by K; T is the average formation temperature of the gas reservoir, also given by K; P... SC ρ is the standard ground pressure, in MPa; P is the current formation pressure, in MPa; Z is the current gas deviation coefficient, dimensionless.

[0073] It should be noted that in actual gas reservoir development, the main factors that change significantly in the above formula are the current formation pressure P and the current gas deviation coefficient Z. Furthermore, the current gas deviation coefficient Z is calculated based on the current formation pressure P. Therefore, when evaluating the remaining geological reserves in the later stages of gas reservoir development, the remaining geological reserves of the target gas reservoir can be calculated solely based on the changed current formation pressure P.

[0074] It should be noted that, in order to make the method for evaluating the remaining geological reserves in the mid-to-late stages of gas reservoir development more convenient and accurate, the method for evaluating the remaining geological reserves in the mid-to-late stages of gas reservoir development provided in this application embodiment can adopt the micro-element method, dividing the target gas reservoir area into several grids, which can be 100m×100m grids or 50m×50m grids, wherein the grids within the gas-bearing area are effective grids. For example, Surfer software can be used to evaluate the original average effective thickness h and the original average effective porosity. and the original average gas saturation S gi Using contour lines for gridding, the formula for calculating the original geological reserves of the gas reservoir is then transformed into the following fifth formula:

[0075]

[0076] Where n is the number of valid grid cells, which is a positive integer; and s is the area of ​​a single grid cell, in meters. 2 G i The original geological reserves of natural gas in the target gas reservoir are expressed in units of 10. 8 m 3 h x The original effective thickness of the x-th effective grid is expressed in meters. S represents the original effective porosity of the x-th effective grid, dimensionless; gxB represents the original gas saturation of the x-th effective grid, dimensionless; gxi Let be the original natural gas volume factor for the x-th effective grid, which is dimensionless.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, when evaluating the remaining geological reserves of a target gas reservoir, the calculation is performed according to the following steps:

[0078] S201: Obtain the current formation pressure for each valid grid, which can be achieved, for example, in the following way:

[0079] After the well is shut in and pressure is restored, the current formation pressure of each well in the target gas reservoir area is measured using a high-temperature and high-pressure resistant pressure gauge; or the current formation pressure of each well is calculated based on the wellhead pressure of each well in the target gas reservoir area. Based on the current formation pressure of each well, the current formation pressure of each effective grid is assigned using the Kriging interpolation method, and then the current formation pressure of each effective grid is obtained.

[0080] S202: Calculate the current gas deviation coefficient of each effective grid based on the current formation pressure of each effective grid using empirical formulas or state equations.

[0081] S203: Calculate the current natural gas volume factor for each effective grid based on the current formation pressure and current gas deviation coefficient. This can be achieved, for example, in the following manner:

[0082] Using data analysis software such as Excel, WPS, or SPSS, input the current formation pressure and the current gas deviation coefficient for each effective grid in the second formula below to obtain the current natural gas volume factor for each effective grid:

[0083]

[0084] Among them, B gxr T represents the current natural gas volume factor for the x-th effective grid, dimensionless; SC ρ is the surface standard temperature, in K; T is the average formation temperature of the target gas reservoir, in K; P SC This refers to the standard ground pressure, expressed in MPa; P x Z represents the current formation pressure of the xth effective grid, in MPa. x is the current gas deviation coefficient for the x-th effective grid, dimensionless.

[0085] S204: Obtain the original effective thickness, original effective porosity, and original gas saturation of each effective grid after meshing, as well as the current natural gas volume factor B corresponding to each effective grid obtained in step S203. gxr .

[0086] S205: Based on the parameters obtained in step S204, calculate the remaining natural gas geological reserves of the target gas reservoir. For example, this can be achieved in the following way:

[0087] Input the parameters obtained in step S204 into the following first formula to obtain the remaining natural gas geological reserves of the target gas reservoir:

[0088]

[0089] Where n is the number of valid grid cells, which is a positive integer; s is the area of ​​a single grid cell, in meters. 2 G r The remaining geological reserves of natural gas in the target gas reservoir are expressed in units of 10. 8 m 3 h x The original effective thickness of the x-th effective grid is expressed in meters. S represents the original effective porosity of the x-th effective grid, dimensionless; gx B represents the original gas saturation of the x-th effective grid, dimensionless; gxr Let be the current natural gas volume factor for the x-th valid grid, which is dimensionless.

[0090] S206: Based on the remaining natural gas geological reserves of each effective grid, draw a map of the remaining natural gas geological reserves abundance of the target gas reservoir. For example, this can be achieved in the following way:

[0091] Divide the remaining natural gas geological reserves of each effective grid before summation in the first formula by the area of ​​each grid, in units of 100 million cubic meters per square kilometer, and then input it into the Surfer software to draw the remaining natural gas geological reserve abundance map of the target gas reservoir.

[0092] Understandably, by using a map of the remaining natural gas geological reserves of the target gas reservoir, the observation of the target gas reservoir becomes more intuitive and clear, and this map can serve as a basis for the implementation and adjustment of subsequent gas reservoir development plans.

[0093] In summary, the embodiments of this application, by gridding the gas reservoir in the study area and calculating the current natural gas volume factor for each grid using the changing formation pressure, input the obtained current natural gas volume factor for each grid, along with other original, unchanging parameters, into the gas reservoir geological reserve calculation model to calculate the current remaining geological reserves of the gas reservoir. This method for evaluating the remaining geological reserves in the mid-to-late stages of gas reservoir development not only ensures the accuracy of the results but also accelerates the evaluation process due to its ease of operation, thus achieving high timeliness. Furthermore, the method of drawing a remaining natural gas geological reserve abundance map of the target gas reservoir based on the remaining natural gas geological reserves of each effective grid makes the observation of the target gas reservoir more intuitive and clear, and this map can serve as a basis for the implementation and adjustment of subsequent gas reservoir development plans.

[0094] To better illustrate and verify the method of this application, a gas reservoir will be used as an example below.

[0095] The development of this gas reservoir has now entered the middle to late stages. Using Surfer software for grid-based calculations, the original geological reserves of this gas reservoir are estimated to be 255.16 × 10⁻⁶. 8 m 3 At this point, the original effective thickness, original effective porosity, and original gas saturation of each effective grid in the gas reservoir can be obtained.

[0096] By the end of December 2019, the gas reservoir had accumulated a gas production of 112 × 10⁻⁶. 8 m 3 .

[0097] Single-well pressure data, i.e., the current formation pressure of each effective grid, is obtained through methods such as well shut-in and calculation. Then, using data analysis software such as Excel, WPS, or SPSS, the current natural gas volume factor for each effective grid is calculated based on an empirical formula, namely the second formula mentioned above.

[0098] In the first formula above, the original effective thickness, original effective porosity, original gas saturation, and current natural gas volume factor of each effective grid are input. That is, the remaining natural gas geological reserves of each effective grid are first calculated, and then summed to obtain the remaining natural gas geological reserves of the entire gas reservoir, which is 140.68 × 10⁻⁶. 8 m 3 .

[0099] The above data indicates that the remaining geological reserves of natural gas in the entire gas reservoir are 140.68 × 10⁻⁶. 8 m 3 With a cumulative gas production of 112×10 8 m 3 The sum is 252.68 × 10 8 m 3The original geological reserves of this gas reservoir are 255.16 × 10⁻⁶. 8 m 3 The error is within the normal range. This verifies that the method provided by the embodiments of this application can more conveniently and accurately calculate the remaining natural gas geological reserves in the later stages of target gas reservoir development.
