Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of carbonate reservoir acidification transformation, and in particular to a method for calculating wormhole growth and skin coefficient in an acidification pumping process. Background Art
[0002] Acidizing is one of the most effective methods for increasing production and improving efficiency in carbonate reservoirs. Its goal is to remove reservoir contamination near the wellbore and restore reservoir flow capacity. Acidizing requires maximizing the acid injection rate without compressing the reservoir, encouraging continuous acid loss deep into the reservoir. This not only dissolves the acid-soluble minerals in the reservoir matrix, but also dissolves the acid-soluble minerals in the pores and any external plugging minerals. The depth of acid loss through the reservoir is measured by wormhole length, and the degree of improvement in reservoir flow capacity is measured by the skin coefficient. Furthermore, with continued acid injection, wormhole growth and the dynamic changes in the skin coefficient improve reservoir flow capacity. Increasing the critical acid absorption rate and injection rate further promotes wormhole growth and reduces the skin coefficient. Therefore, accurately calculating the dynamic changes in wormhole growth and skin coefficient during acid injection is crucial for adjusting the acid injection rate and enhancing the effectiveness of the reservoir.
[0003] Currently, the maximum pumping rate during acidizing operations is primarily determined by the initial physical characteristics of the reservoir and the surface pumping capacity. This ignores the fact that the ultimate acid absorption rate continuously increases during the dynamic improvement of the reservoir's flow capacity, resulting in insufficient surface pumping rates and inadequate reservoir stimulation. Furthermore, simulations of wormhole growth and skin coefficient reduction typically assume the reservoir is homogeneous. This fails to fully reflect the uneven growth of wormholes and the differences between the acid absorption profile and the skin coefficient profile caused by reservoir heterogeneity, making it difficult to accurately guide the design and optimization of acidizing processes.
[0004] Therefore, a method for calculating wormhole growth and skin coefficient during the acidizing pumping process is needed, which can adjust the acid pumping rate of the reservoir by reducing the growth of wormholes and the skin coefficient, and can accurately characterize the heterogeneous profile of wormhole development, skin coefficient and acid absorption caused by reservoir heterogeneity. Summary of the Invention
