Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield exploitation, in particular to a large-scale three-dimensional macroscopic visualization physical simulation experimental device and an experimental method for gas injection gravity drive. Background Art
[0002] Through the study of the structural characteristics of my country's oil reservoirs, it is found that a large part of the oil reservoirs have structural characteristics such as large reservoir inclination and edge and bottom water. When developing and utilizing such oil reservoirs, due to the large difference in oil-water viscosity and the poor flowability of crude oil, it is easy to make the edge water advance faster, resulting in serious flooding, which has a great impact on the development effect of the oil reservoir. The inclined structures such as anticline structures and buried hill structures in such oil reservoirs will form "attic oil" at the top of the reservoir during the development process, which will also have a certain impact on the development effect of the reservoir. In view of this phenomenon, when developing and utilizing such oil reservoirs, the method of injecting gas at the top of the reservoir can greatly improve the recovery rate of such oil reservoirs. The top gas injection method can effectively control the oil-gas-water interface and maintain the reservoir pressure. At present, it has achieved good results in the field practice of some domestic oil fields.
[0003] However, the key mechanisms such as the migration characteristics of the gas injection profile, the macroscopic sweep law, and the mechanism of remaining oil utilization during the top gas injection process are not clearly understood, resulting in uncertainty in the current field practice of top gas injection to enhance oil recovery in such reservoirs. Physical simulation is an important research method for studying the gas injection to enhance oil recovery in such reservoirs. During the experiment, the actual reservoir geological parameters and seepage-related parameters are converted into the size required by the laboratory according to a certain ratio, and the development dynamics of the reservoir can be predicted through physical simulation experiments.
[0004] The existing patent CN202111088713.4 discloses a simulation experimental device and method for gas-assisted viscosity reducer gravity-assisted flooding at different inclination angles. CN201821119469.7 discloses a three-dimensional large flat sand filling model, focusing on studying the seepage characteristics of multiphase fluids, but the experimental device cannot be visualized and mainly relies on the analysis of experimental data to obtain results. CN201811391120.3 discloses a three-dimensional visualized sand filling model and its preparation method, focusing on adjusting the permeability difference between layers of the three-dimensional model to simulate the heterogeneity of various oil reservoirs, but this experimental device cannot consider the effect of the formation inclination and cannot simulate the influence of the formation inclination on the gas injection development process. CN201510724935.9 discloses a visualization experimental device and method for simulating gas injection in fracture-cavity carbonate reservoirs. This physical model device is too small in scale and cannot withstand high pressure, and cannot simulate the three-dimensional oil-gas-water transport dynamics during the gas injection flooding process at the top of the reservoir under formation conditions.

[0017] S5. When the water content at the liquid outlet reaches above 98%, the experiment is stopped and the gas-assisted gravity drive experiment is completed.
[0018] S6. Data processing, as follows:
[0019] (1) According to the data obtained from different experimental schemes, the gravity number is calculated using the following formula:
[0020]
[0021] Where N G is the gravity number; v is the seepage velocity, m / s; μ is the fluid viscosity, mPa·s; Δρ is the gas-oil density difference, g / cm 3 ; g is the acceleration due to gravity, m / s 2 ; k is the permeability, 10 -3 μm 2 ; C is the constant generated by unit conversion, C = 8.64 × 10 -5 ; α is the formation inclination. Seepage velocity v It is the velocity of the oil phase inside the experimental device and can be calculated by the oil volume and time recorded at the outlet. Fluid viscosity μ is the viscosity of the oil and gas used in the experiment. Permeability k is obtained by using the formula based on the experimental data.

[0038] The dimensionless parameters capillary number, Bond number and gravity number are used to characterize the gas cap gravity drive process. The oil and gas interface is controlled by gas driving force, gravity, capillary force, water driving force and viscosity force. When the interaction of various forces reaches a dynamic balance, the fingering can be suppressed, so that the oil and gas interface remains basically stable during the displacement. Various criteria are quantitative characterizations of the different forces acting on the oil and gas interface, and the parameters considered by different criteria are different. Compared with the capillary number and Bond number, the gravity number and the five-element stable drive coefficient consider more comprehensive parameters, which can better reflect the differences in formation, fluid and production parameters, thereby more accurately describing the flow characteristics of the fluid during the gas cap gravity drive development process.

Under different experimental design schemes, the effects of water body energy, reservoir physical properties, formation inclination, crude oil viscosity and gas injection rate on recovery rate and oil-gas interface stability are studied. Through saturation monitoring and visualized profile observation, the gravity drive process at the top of the reservoir is accurately simulated, thereby providing guidance for understanding the mechanism of improving recovery rate by gas injection gravity drive at the top of complex reservoirs.

The specific connection method between the arc bracket and the base is: a raised connecting piece 31 is arranged on the upper surface of the base 29, and the bottom of the arc bracket is fixed to the connecting piece by screws 32. The connecting piece is two vertically arranged metal sheets, the bottom end of the metal sheet is fixed on the base, the two metal sheets are arranged in parallel, the bottom end of the arc bracket is installed in the gap between the two metal sheets, and the arc bracket is fixed to the two metal sheets by screws. Preferably, there can be two arc-shaped brackets, which are arranged parallel to each other, and each arc-shaped bracket is connected to the base through two connecting parts 31 and an angle fixing bracket 42 located between the two connecting parts. When it is necessary to adjust the angle between the arc-shaped bracket and the base, first loosen the screws, then adjust the angle, and then fix it with screws.

[0066] The method for conducting an experiment using the above-mentioned gas injection gravity drive three-dimensional visual physical simulation device is as follows:
[0067] S1. According to the actual formation conditions and experimental requirements, simulated oil and formation water of different viscosities and quartz sand of different diameters are selected and prepared. The experimental gas is high-pressure nitrogen. The simulated formation water and simulated oil are dyed with methyl blue and Sudan red respectively to observe the distribution of oil and water in different experimental stages. The prepared quartz sand is filled into the model for vibration compaction and the permeability is tested to see if it meets the order of magnitude of the experimental design. If not, the quartz sand size standard needs to be adjusted and refilled.
[0068] S2. Connect the experimental device and check its tightness. After the inspection, evacuate the experimental device and use a constant pressure and constant speed displacement pump to fully saturate the simulated oil with the viscosity required by the experimental plan to the formation pressure of the simulated experiment, and record the saturated oil volume.
[0069] S3. The oven temperature is raised to the target temperature of the simulation experiment, and the back pressure of the experimental device is adjusted to the target pressure of the experiment; after changing the inclination angle of the profile model to the angle required by different experimental schemes, a constant pressure and constant speed displacement pump is used to simulate the water-to-oil drive process of strong edge water; the injection speed required by different experimental schemes is adjusted to represent the energy of edge water in different reservoirs, and the injected water volume is recorded in real time. The oil well is simulated through the liquid outlet on the upper part of the box, the water volume and oil volume driven out are recorded, the saturation is recorded, the outlet water content is calculated, and the interface changes are recorded through a real-time video recording device.
[0070] S4. When the water content at the upper liquid outlet of the box reaches 90%, keep the water injection at the bottom unchanged and start injecting nitrogen at the top. Record the injected water and gas volume, produced gas volume, water volume and oil volume, record the saturation, calculate the outlet water content, and record the interface changes through a real-time video recording device.
[0071] S5. When the water content at the liquid outlet reaches above 98%, the experiment is stopped and the gas-assisted gravity drive experiment is completed.
[0072] The box section model of the reservoir simulation system in the experimental device is placed in the spatial rectangular coordinate system, such as Figure 4 As shown. 1 is the initial oil-gas interface, h 2 For top gas injection displacement t 1 The oil-gas interface after time. The shaded part in the figure is the area A that the oil-gas interface passes through during the displacement process. Project one side of the model shadow into the xy plane to locate the polygon composed of points abcdef. The method for calculating the area of irregular figures written by MATLAB software can be used to obtain the area A of the shaded part. The oil-gas interface is defined by h 1 Move to h 2 The model volume included is V = Ad, where d is the thickness of the model, cm. Therefore, the oil recovery efficiency of top gas injection gravity drive is Where Q O The amount of oil displaced during the experiment, ml; S O is the oil saturation; V is the model volume, cm 3 ; φ is the model porosity. D Evaluating the sweep efficiency of the swept area of the gravity stability profile can more accurately evaluate the mobilization capacity of different injection and production systems on reservoir pores.
[0073] By designing experimental schemes under different sensitive conditions, the influence of different sensitive factors on the experimental results is studied, and the characterization parameters and judgment standard limits of the gas cap gravity drive interface stability are established.
[0074] In this embodiment, 12 simulation experiments are designed, and the specific experimental scheme is shown in Table 1.
[0075]
[0076] Among them, √ is the sensitive parameter changed in this simulation experiment.
[0077] The viscosity of crude oil is changed in order to study the effect of crude oil viscosity on the recovery degree and interface stability in the experimental results.
[0078] The reservoir properties are changed in order to study the effects of reservoir properties on recovery degree, gas drive breakthrough time and interface stability in the experimental results.

[0091] Table 4. Test results of increasing water volume multiples
[0092]
[0093]
[0094] By comparing with the experimental data of the basic scheme, it can be found that the larger the water body multiple is, the earlier the water breakthrough time is (0.49HPV breakthrough for the basic scheme, 0.33HPV breakthrough when the water body multiple is increased), and the recovery degree is low when the outlet water content is 90% (56.57% for the basic scheme, 52.76% when the water body multiple is increased). Through the profile changes, it can be found that the interface stability is worse when the water body multiple is increased; after top gas injection, the larger the water body multiple is, the slower the injected gas breakthrough becomes due to the influence of water body energy, and the gas drive recovery degree increases. The gas drive recovery degree increases from 52.76% to 66.64%, an increase of 13.88%, which is 20.83% higher than the final recovery degree (increased recovery degree / final recovery degree).
[0095] (3) The experimental data of the third simulation experiment with variable oil viscosity are shown in Table 5 and Figure 7 .
[0096] Table 5. Test results of increasing oil viscosity experiment
[0097]
[0098]
[0099] By comparing the experimental data with the basic scheme, it can be found that the greater the oil viscosity, the earlier the water breakthrough time (0.49HPV breakthrough for the basic scheme, 0.37HPV breakthrough when the oil viscosity is increased), the recovery degree is low when the outlet water content is 90% (56.57% for the basic scheme, 40.61% when the oil viscosity is increased), and through the profile changes, it can be found that the interface stability is worse when the oil viscosity is increased; due to the unstable interface during the water flooding process, the increased oil viscosity group has serious water channeling. After the top gas injection, the outlet water content did not immediately drop to the lowest compared with the first two groups of experiments, but It is a slow decrease and then a gradual increase, which results in a relatively stable gas drive process with better results and a more obvious increase in recovery: the recovery of the basic gas drive solution increased from 56.57% to 64.37%, an increase of 7.8%, and an increase of 12.12% over the final recovery (increased recovery / final recovery); the recovery of the gas drive solution with increased oil viscosity increased from 40.61% to 56.53%, an increase of 15.92%, and an increase of 28.16% over the final recovery (increased recovery / final recovery). But overall, the recovery is low.
[0100] (4) The experimental data of the fourth simulation experiment, the formation dip angle 0° scheme, are shown in Tables 6 and Figure 8 .
[0101] Table 6. Experimental test results of formation dip angle 0°
[0102]
[0103]
[0104] By comparing with the experimental data of the basic scheme, it can be found that when the formation dip is 0°, the water breakthrough time becomes earlier, but the change is not obvious (0.49HPV breakthrough for the basic scheme, 0.46HPV breakthrough when the formation dip is 0°), and the recovery degree is low when the outlet water content is 90% (56.57% for the basic scheme, 51.51% when the formation dip is 0°), and through the profile change, it can be found that the stability of the oil-water interface is slightly worse when the formation dip is 0°; after top gas injection, it can be found by observing the profile that natural gas first gathers at the top to form a gas cap, and then the gas cap drives oil, and the gas-oil interface is stable, the gas breakthrough is late, and in the gas Before the breakthrough, the outlet water content has been stable at a low value. After the gas breakthrough, the outlet water content increased rapidly, so the gas drive recovery rate when the formation dip is 0° is significantly improved: the gas drive recovery rate of the basic scheme increased from 56.57% to 64.37%, an increase of 7.8%, and an increase of 12.12% over the final recovery rate (increased recovery rate / final recovery rate). When the formation dip is 0°, the gas drive recovery rate increased from 51.51% to 82.04%, an increase of 30.53%, and an increase of 37.21% over the final recovery rate (increased recovery rate / final recovery rate).
[0105] (5) The experimental data of the fifth simulation experiment, which increased the gas injection rate (quartz sand diameter of about 0.125-0.25 mm), are shown in Tables 7 and Fig. 9 .
[0106] Table 7. Experimental test results of gas injection rate 0.2HCPV / a (sand particle diameter 0.125-0.25mm)
[0107]
[0108] By comparing the experimental data with the basic scheme, it can be found that when the gas injection rate is 0.2HCPV / a, the experimental effect of the water drive stage is not much different from that of the basic scheme, which verifies the comparability of the experiment (the basic scheme broke through at 0.49HPV, and the recovery degree was 47.83% at the time of breakthrough. This breakthrough was at 0.41HPV, and the recovery degree was 43.25%; when the basic scheme was injected with water at 0.72HPV, the outlet water content reached 90%, and the recovery degree was 56.57% at this time. When the water was injected at 0.68HPV in this scheme, the outlet water content reached 90%, and the recovery degree was 50.03% at this time). After top gas injection, it can be seen from the figure that after increasing the gas injection rate, the gas drive sweep efficiency is worse, and the oil-gas interface shows an unstable drive phenomenon. However, as the displacement proceeds, the oil-gas interface will become more and more stable. Ultimately, most of the oil is concentrated in the upper left part of the oil production well and the lower right part of the gas injection well. The final recovery rate is reduced compared with the basic plan (the final recovery rate of the basic plan is 64.37%, and the result this time is 58.17%), but the interface effect changes significantly.
[0109] (6) The experimental data of the sixth simulation experiment, which increased the gas injection rate (quartz sand diameter of about 1-2 mm), are shown in Tables 8 and Fig.10 .
[0110] Table 8. Experimental test results of gas injection rate 0.2HCPV / a (sand particle diameter 1-2mm)
[0111]
[0112] By comparing the experimental data of Scheme (5), it can be found that after top gas injection, as can be seen from the figure, after increasing the diameter of the sand filling particles, the oil-gas interface is much more stable than that of Scheme 5. Although the gas breakthrough is also very early, due to the stability of the interface, the water content at the outlet increases very slowly, resulting in an increase in the overall recovery rate.
[0113] (7) The seventh simulation experiment, the formation dip angle is 0°, the quartz sand diameter is about 0.125-0.25 mm. The experimental data of the scheme are shown in Table 9 and Fig.11 .
[0114] Table 9. Experimental test results at 0° inclination (sand grain diameter 0.125-0.25 mm)
[0115]
[0116] By comparing the experimental data of the quartz sand with a diameter of about 1-2mm in the fourth plan with a formation dip angle of 0°, it can be found that when the fine sand is replaced, the water breakthrough time becomes earlier (0.46HPV breakthrough in the fourth plan, 0.23HPV breakthrough in this plan), and the recovery degree is lower when the outlet water content is 90% (51.51% in the fourth plan, 43.36% in this plan). It can be found through the profile changes that the stability of the oil-water interface in this experiment is very poor. After the water drive starts, most of the water flows directly to the outlet well, resulting in an earlier water breakthrough time and a faster increase in water content. As the water drive proceeds, the water is drawn to the well by gravity. When it reaches the bottom of the formation, the water content at the outlet begins to rise slowly; after gas injection at the top, it can be found by observing the profile that the gas-oil interface is unstable and the gas breaks through early. Due to the instability of the oil-water interface, the oil-water interfaces on the two sides of the profile are asymmetric. After water breaks through from one side, a large amount of oil cannot be recovered on the other side. Even after gas injection at the top until the end of the experiment, the oil-gas-water interface on the other side of the profile remains basically unchanged, and the remaining oil still cannot be recovered, resulting in the overall recovery rate of this experimental scheme being much lower than that of Scheme 4 (the final recovery rate of Scheme 4 is 82.04%, and the final recovery rate of this scheme is 52.58%).
[0117] (8) For the 8th simulation experiment, the oil viscosity was 90 cP and the quartz sand diameter was about 0.125-0.25 mm. The experimental data of the scheme are shown in Tables 10 and Fig.12 .
[0118] Table 10 Experimental test results of oil viscosity 90cP (sand particle diameter 0.125-0.25mm)
[0119]
[0120] By comparing the experimental data with that of Scheme (3), it can be found that when the sand is fine, the water breakthrough time is earlier (Scheme 3 0.37HPV breakthrough, this scheme 0.14HPV breakthrough), and the recovery degree is lower when the outlet water content is 90% (Scheme 3 40.61%, this scheme 25.83%). It can also be found through the profile changes that the interface stability is worse when the sand is fine, the water channeling is more serious, the oil-water interface of the two profile observation windows is not symmetrical, and after the water content rises rapidly to about 80%, the oil stored on the other side of the profile is slowly displaced. After the top gas is injected, the gas-oil interface becomes more unstable, but a large amount of oil remaining on the other side of the gas injection section at the top is partially driven out, but the amount driven out is small, and the interface change is not obvious, resulting in a slow increase in the water content during the gas drive process and a low overall recovery rate (the final recovery rate of Scheme 3 is 58.03%, and the final recovery rate of this Scheme is 48.49%).
[0121] (9) The 9th simulation experiment, with variable water volume multiples and quartz sand diameter of about 0.125-0.25 mm, is shown in Tables 11 and Fig.13 .
[0122] Table 11. Experimental test results of 500 times water (sand particle diameter 0.125-0.25mm)
[0123]
[0124] By comparing the experimental data with that of Scheme (2), it can be found that when the sand is fine, the water breakthrough time is earlier, with Scheme (2) breaking through at 0.33 HPV and this scheme breaking through at 0.29 HPV. When the outlet water content is 90%, the recovery rate is low, with Scheme (2) at 52.76% and this scheme at 46.19%. Through the profile changes, it can be found that the interface stability is worse and the water channeling is more serious when the sand is fine. After the water breakthrough, the water content rises rapidly to about 70%. After the top gas is injected, the gas-oil interface of the fine sand is more unstable, the gas breakthrough is earlier, and the water content rises faster after the gas breakthrough. The overall recovery rate is low. The final recovery rate of Scheme (2) is 66.64%, and the final recovery rate of this scheme is 56.98%.
[0125] (10) The 10th simulation experiment, basic scheme, quartz sand diameter about 0.125-0.25mm scheme experimental data are shown in Table 12 and Fig.14 .
[0126] Table 12 Experimental test results of basic scheme (sand particle diameter 0.125-0.25mm)
[0127]
[0128] By comparing the experimental data with that of Scheme (1), it can be found that when the sand is fine, the water breakthrough time is earlier, Scheme (1) is 0.49HPV breakthrough, and this scheme is 0.35HPV breakthrough. When the outlet water content is 90%, the recovery rate is low, Scheme (1) is 56.57%, and this scheme is 46.34%. Through the change of the profile, it can be found that the interface stability is worse when the sand is fine, the water channeling is more serious, and the water content rises faster after the water breakthrough; after the top gas injection, the gas-oil interface of the fine sand is more unstable, the gas breakthrough is earlier, and the water content rises faster after the gas breakthrough. The overall recovery rate is low, and the final recovery rate of Scheme (1) is 65.16%, and the final recovery rate of this scheme is 57.18%.
[0129] (11) In the 11th simulation experiment, the gas injection rate was increased. The experimental data of three quartz sand mixing schemes (mixture of coarse sand, fine sand, and ultrafine sand less than or equal to 0.1D) are shown in Table 13.
[0130] Table 13. Experimental test results of increasing gas injection rate (mixing of three types of sand particles)
[0131]
[0132]
[0133] By comparing the experimental data of Scheme (5) and Scheme (6), it can be found that when the sand particles are mixed, the heterogeneity is stronger and the water breakthrough time is earlier. Scheme (6) is 0.49HPV breakthrough, Scheme (5) is 0.41HPV breakthrough, and this scheme is 0.16HPV breakthrough. When the outlet water content is 90%, the recovery degree is low, Scheme (6) is 59.55%, Scheme (5) is 50.03%, and this scheme is 33.96%. Through the changes in the profile, it can be found that the interface stability is worse in the mixed sand, the water breakthrough is more serious, and the water content rises rapidly after the water breaks through. After the gas is injected from the top, the mixed sand has a strong heterogeneity and the gas breaks through early. After the gas breaks through, the water content rises rapidly. The observation window of the two-dimensional profile does not clearly observe the change of the gas-oil interface. The gas goes directly from the injection well to the production well without obviously affecting the observation windows on both sides, resulting in a small decrease in the outlet water content, less oil produced, and a very low overall recovery rate, which is 78.92% for scheme (6), 58.17% for scheme (5), and 38.29% for this scheme.
[0134] (12) The experimental data of the 12th simulation experiment, basic scheme, and three quartz sand mixing schemes are shown in Table 14.
[0135] Table 14. Experimental test results of basic scheme (mixture of three types of sand)
[0136]
[0137]
[0138] By comparing the experimental data of Scheme (1) and Scheme (10), it can be found that when the sand particles are mixed, the heterogeneity is stronger and the water breakthrough time is earlier. Scheme (1) is 0.49HPV breakthrough, Scheme (10) is 0.35HPV breakthrough, and this scheme is 0.2HPV breakthrough. When the outlet water content is 90%, the recovery degree is low, Scheme (6) is 59.55%, Scheme (5) is 50.03%, and this scheme is 34.48%. Through the changes in the profile, it can be found that the interface stability is worse in the mixed sand, the water breakthrough is more serious, and the water content rises rapidly after the water breaks through. After the gas is injected from the top, the mixed sand has strong heterogeneity and the gas breaks through early. After the gas breaks through, the water content rises rapidly. The observation window of the two-dimensional profile does not clearly observe the change of the gas-oil interface. The gas goes directly from the injection well to the production well without obviously affecting the observation windows on both sides, resulting in less oil production. The overall recovery rate is very low, which is 65.16% for scheme (1), 57.18% for scheme (10), and 43.45% for this scheme.
[0139] The data collected from different experimental schemes are used to calculate the gravity number using formula (1), where N G is the gravity number; v is the seepage velocity, m / s; μ is the fluid viscosity, mPa·s; Δρ is the gas-oil density difference, g / cm 3 ; g is the acceleration due to gravity, m / s 2 ; k is the permeability, 10 -3 μm 2 ; C is the constant generated by unit conversion, C = 8.64 × 10 -5 ; α is the formation dip. The corresponding change relationship diagram of gravity number and gas drive recovery degree is drawn. There is a good positive correlation between gravity number and gas drive recovery degree, that is, the larger the gravity number, the higher the gas drive recovery degree and the more stable the oil-gas interface. At the same time, when the gravity number is greater than 0.5, the gas drive recovery degree increases from 43% to 57%, and when the gravity number is greater than 2.5, the gas drive recovery degree increases from 57% to 66%.
[0140] The data collected from different experimental schemes were used to calculate the capillary number using formula (2). A graph showing the relationship between the capillary number and the gas drive recovery degree was drawn. When the capillary number was less than 0.7×10 -4When the oil-gas interface is relatively stable, the recovery rate is high, and the maximum can reach 69.08%. With the increase of capillary number, the recovery rate decreases slightly, and the oil-gas interface gradually becomes unstable. Because the capillary number describes the balance between viscosity and capillary force, the larger the capillary number, the greater the viscosity and the smaller the capillary force, the easier it is for the oil and gas front to become unstable and form local fingering, which reduces the macro displacement efficiency. In addition, the capillary number is mainly affected by the interface seepage velocity. The greater the gas injection velocity, the greater the capillary number; the better the porosity and permeability conditions, the larger the capillary diameter, the smaller the interface capillary velocity, and the smaller the capillary number, the more conducive to stable interface seepage.
[0141] The data collected from different experimental schemes were used to calculate the Bond number using formula (3). The relationship between the Bond number and the gas drive recovery degree was plotted. Since the Bond number has a single variable parameter, it cannot evaluate the gas drive effect well. Combined with the numerical simulation results of the mechanism model, the corresponding Bond value was calculated. The results showed that the larger the Bond number, the higher the recovery rate, and the more conducive it is to implement gas cap gravity drive. When the Bond number reaches 9.21×10 3 When the oil recovery rate reaches 82.04%, the Bond number can also be used to characterize the oil-gas interface changes during gas cap gravity drive because the variable parameters considered are relatively single.
[0142] According to the five-element stable flooding coefficient formula (4):
[0143]
[0144] make The sensitive parameters in different experimental schemes were substituted into the calculated values of the parameters of the five-element stable drive coefficient, and the relationship between the five-element stable drive coefficient and the gas drive recovery degree was drawn according to the five-element stable drive coefficient formula. When the five-element stable drive coefficient is ≥ 0, the interface stability is good, the recovery degree is greater than 50%, and the closer the evaluation coefficient is to 0, the higher the recovery degree is, which can reach up to 82.04%.
