Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of dynamic evaluation technology for gas wells, specifically relating to a method and electronic equipment for evaluating parameters of tight reservoir gas wells based on stress-sensitive influence. Background Technology
[0002] As oil and gas fields gradually expand into unconventional gas reservoirs, research on tight, low-permeability gas reservoirs is increasing. In these reservoirs, the tightness of the reservoir and water-bearing capacity during well production cause stress sensitivity during gas flow; that is, reservoir permeability gradually decreases as formation pressure decreases. For developing such tight, low-permeability gas reservoirs, using conventional well production decline analysis methods for parameter evaluation will result in significant errors. Therefore, research on quantitative evaluation methods for well parameters and reservoir parameters in low-permeability tight reservoirs, considering the effects of stress sensitivity, is of great significance for developing these reservoirs. Currently, commonly used well production decline analysis methods include the Flow Mass Balance (FMB) method and the chart fitting method, which are dynamic evaluation methods for conventional gas reservoir wells. If the influence of stress sensitivity is ignored, using these commonly studied conventional well production decline analysis methods will result in inaccurate dynamic reserves and reservoir permeability parameters obtained through fitting, which will seriously affect the evaluation of reservoir utilization and the selection of favorable areas. This will further affect the rational development deployment of well locations and networks, as well as the study of remaining gas distribution.
[0003] Most modern production decline analysis techniques are used under Darcy flow conditions for conventional high-permeability reservoirs to estimate reservoir and well parameters such as permeability, vent radius, skin factor, and fracture half-length. For conventional gas wells, production instability analysis methods have been extensively studied.
[0004] The Fetkovich method, based on unsteady flow in homogeneous closed reservoirs, introduces the Arps decreasing curve into the flow formula for unsteady flow during well testing. This curve then includes both the unsteady and quasi-steady flow stages, visually representing the radial and boundary-controlled flow stages, thus forming the Fetkovich production instability analysis fitting chart. However, this method does not consider the variation of fluid properties with pressure. Blasingame et al. introduced material equilibrium time and regularized production parameters into the flow equation, establishing the Blasingame production instability analysis fitting chart. This method also considers varying bottomhole pressure and production rates, as well as the variation of fluid properties with pressure. Agarwal-Gardner et al., building on previous research, redefined dimensionless variables and established the Agarwal-Gardner production instability analysis fitting chart. The unsteady flow stage curves in this chart are relatively more dispersed than those in the Blasingame chart. This helps reduce the ambiguity of fitting analysis. The Flow Material Balance (FMB) method derives a detailed representation of the pseudo-time of material balance and uses production dynamic data for analysis and fitting. Through linear regression, the original geological reserves of oil and gas reservoirs can be estimated. However, this method requires production data to reach the pseudo-steady-state flow stage. The Blasingame method and the Agarwal-Gardner method both use pseudo-pressure normalized production and material balance pseudo-time functions to establish typical declining curves. The Normalized Pressure Integral (NPI) method uses the integral form of production normalized pressure and material balance pseudo-time to construct a curve. The NPI curve fitting method is the reciprocal of the Agarwal-Gardner production instability analysis curve. The NPI method can also handle variable production and variable flowing pressure problems and use daily production data (time, production, flowing pressure) to evaluate reservoir parameters. For data in the unstable flow stage, the transient method based on the dimensionless time and production relationship of well testing can be used for fitting analysis to reduce the ambiguity of the analysis results.
[0005] Current methods for evaluating the dynamic reserves of gas wells that consider stress sensitivity, such as those used to assess parameters like dynamic reserves in tight, low-permeability reservoirs, are based on the principle of mass balance and incorporate stress sensitivity considerations. p / Z - G p The relationship curve is used to determine the dynamic reserves of the gas well based on the linear relationship, but it is not possible to obtain other reservoir parameters and gas well parameters.
[0006] In summary, the main shortcomings of existing conventional gas well production decline analysis methods for evaluating parameters such as dynamic reserves of gas wells are as follows:
[0007] (1) Modern production decline analysis and evaluation method for conventional gas reservoirs: Production decline analysis can only be performed on gas wells in high-permeability single-phase conventional reservoirs. For low-permeability tight reservoirs, the evaluation parameters have certain errors, which will underestimate the dynamic reserves of gas wells and reservoir permeability, and incorrectly judge the utilization status of gas reservoir reserves and the distribution of unutilized reserves, thus affecting the subsequent tapping of remaining gas potential.
[0008] (2) Among the evaluation methods for dynamic reserves that consider the effects of stress sensitivity, the modified method is currently the most widely used. p / Z - G p The method can only obtain dynamic reserve parameters of gas wells, but cannot determine other reservoir parameters, gas well parameters, and fracture parameters such as reservoir permeability and fracture half-length. In addition, the method is relatively simple and linear, resulting in large errors in the evaluation parameters.
[0009] Therefore, there is a particular need to provide a quantitative analysis and evaluation method for gas well parameters such as dynamic reserves that takes into account the effects of stress sensitivity. Summary of the Invention

The average of the dynamic reserves of the first and second gas wells is taken as the dynamic reserves of the gas well under the mutual constraint of the flow mass balance method and the chart fitting method. Based on the production shift and number of locations, reservoir parameters and fracture parameters are calculated.

[0075] As an optional approach, determining the reservoir stress sensitivity coefficient includes: analyzing experimental data on the stress sensitivity of tight reservoir cores under different test pressures, and then determining the reservoir stress sensitivity coefficient through multivariate statistical analysis.
[0076] Specifically, based on core experiments in tight reservoirs, the stress sensitivity coefficient was determined by statistical regression analysis of the core stress sensitivity test data.
[0077] As an alternative, the pseudo-time for material equilibrium can be calculated using the following formula:
[0078]
[0079] The normalized yield, taking into account the effects of stress sensitivity, is calculated using the following formula:
[0080]
[0081] The normalized production integral, taking into account the effects of stress sensitivity, is calculated using the following formula:
[0082]
[0083] The integral derivative of the normalized yield, taking into account the effects of stress sensitivity, is calculated using the following formula:

[0093] (7).
[0094] As an alternative, the original pseudo-pressure of the gas well, taking into account the effects of stress sensitivity, can be calculated using the following formula:
[0095]
[0096] The pseudo-bottomhole flow pressure, taking into account stress-sensitive effects, is calculated using the following formula:
[0097]
[0098] in, p 0 represents any reference pressure, and can be taken as 0. p i The original formation pressure of the reservoir, p wf For the bottom hole flowing pressure, μ g Let Z be the gas viscosity and Z be the gas deviation factor. α This is the stress sensitivity coefficient.
[0099] Based on the study of reservoir seepage mechanism, tight low-permeability reservoirs are subject to stress sensitivity. Considering stress sensitivity, the reservoir seepage equation is:
[0100] (1)
[0101] In the formula: r Let m be the distance from any point to the well point. 3 / d; k i The original permeability of the reservoir, 10 -3 μm 2 ; μ g Where is the gas viscosity, mPa·s; Z This is the gas deviation factor, a decimal. α The permeability stress sensitivity coefficient is given in MPa. -1 ; Porosity, decimal; p The reservoir pressure is expressed in MPa. p i The original formation pressure of the reservoir is MPa; C t The overall compressibility factor is expressed in MPa. -1 .
[0102] Considering the effects of stress sensitivity, the pseudo-pressure and pseudo-time of the gas well are redefined. The reservoir flow equation considering the effects of stress sensitivity then becomes:
[0103] (3)
[0104] in,
[0105] ,
[0106]
[0107] .
[0108] In the formula: ψ α The simulated pressure of the gas well, taking into account the effects of stress sensitivity, is measured in MPa. t α The simulated time for gas wells, d, is calculated to account for stress sensitivity. μ gi The original gas viscosity is given in mPa·s. C ti The overall compressibility coefficient under the original conditions is given in MPa. -1 .
[0109] By comparing the conventional seepage equations that do not consider stress sensitivity, it can be seen that by defining a pseudo-pressure that takes into account the influence of stress sensitivity, the nonlinear terms caused by the stress sensitivity effect are linearized, ultimately yielding the same form as the conventional reservoir seepage equations. Therefore, by redefining the pseudo-parameters, the dynamic reserves and other parameters of tight reservoir gas wells with stress sensitivity can be evaluated using conventional gas well production instability analysis charts.

[0122] Specifically, based on the final fitted location and combined with the following equations (10) to (13), the parameters of each gas well in the tight reservoir (dynamic reserves of the first gas well), reservoir parameters (permeability, venting radius), and fracture parameters (fracture half-length) can be obtained. Taking an infinitely conductive fractured vertical well as an example,
[0123] (10)
[0124] (11)
[0125] (12)
[0126] (13)
[0127] in: t Dd For dimensionless mass equilibrium, the approximate time is given; q Dd The dimensionless, normalized output is dimensionless. k For penetration rate, r e Let vent radius be m; r eD The dimensionless leakage radius is dimensionless. x f The crack half-length is in meters (m). G 1 represents the dynamic reserves of the gas well, in m 3 ; S w This represents the water saturation level, a decimal.
[0128] Meanwhile, considering stress sensitivity, the material balance equation for tight reservoir gas well flow is:

[0130] in,
[0131] In the formula, h Let be the reservoir thickness, in meters (m). B m is the gas volume coefficient. 3 / m 3 ; A For the air venting area, m 2 ; C A The shape factor is a decimal. γ Let Euler's constant be a decimal. r w Let be the radius of the wellbore, in meters (m).
[0132] Then, considering the stress-sensitive effects of gas well regularization cumulative gas production G αd ,
[0133] (9)
[0134] Set the left side of Equation 8 to zero, and solve Equation 8 to obtain G2. That is, solve the flow material balance equation considering the stress sensitivity effect of the gas well, construct the relationship curve between the regularized production and the regularized cumulative gas production considering the stress sensitivity effect, and finally determine the size of the dynamic reserves of the second gas well by the intersection of the curve and the horizontal axis based on the linear relationship of the boundary control flow stage.
[0135] By combining the chart fitting method and the fluid mass balance method, the average dynamic reserves of two gas wells are calculated, ultimately determining a reasonable dynamic reserve for each gas well. G In addition to other gas well parameters, reservoir parameters, and fracture parameters.

[0199] A comparison between the fitted parameter values and the actual values of the mechanistic model parameters shows that the gas well parameters and reservoir parameters obtained after fitting the well normalized parameters considering the stress-sensitive effects are more accurate. By adopting the definitions of stress-sensitive normalized parameters and material balance pseudo-time, the errors in parameter results obtained by fitting using only conventional methods can be eliminated. This method is highly practical for parameter fitting of gas wells in low-permeability tight water-bearing reservoirs with significant stress sensitivity.
