AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies make it difficult to accurately determine the production capacity of low-permeability carbonate gas reservoirs, especially in cases of strong heterogeneity and complex pore and fracture structures. This makes it difficult to establish a production capacity equation, resulting in large errors in gas well production capacity evaluation and a mismatch between the production scale and the underground gas supply capacity.
A radial composite model was constructed to divide the carbonate gas reservoir into two homogeneous regions, Zone I and Zone II. The flow equations for each region were determined based on the interface nodes, and the inflow and outflow curves were plotted. The absolute unobstructed flow rate of the gas well and the maximum underground gas supply capacity were determined by typical inflow and outflow charts of the gas well.
This paper provides an accurate method for evaluating gas well productivity, reduces the mismatch between production scale and underground gas supply capacity, and improves the accuracy and guidance of gas well productivity evaluation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of oil and gas exploration technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic equipment and storage medium for determining the production capacity of carbonate gas reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] Determining the production capacity is a crucial task in gas reservoir development. Production capacity depends on well allocation, which in turn depends on well productivity evaluation. With advancements in science and technology, low-permeability carbonate gas reservoirs can achieve larger venting radii and increased seepage capacity within the stimulated area through the implementation of process wells and reservoir stimulation, thus enabling profitable development. However, carbonate gas reservoirs exhibit complex relationships between pores, cavities, and fractures of varying scales, resulting in strong heterogeneity. Gas wells often show significant flow differences between the stimulated area and outside, exhibiting multi-well-area composite seepage characteristics. This makes it difficult to achieve a quasi-steady state during productivity testing, and each production regime in productivity testing corresponds to a different flow stage, thus hindering the accurate establishment of productivity equations.
[0003] The issue of evaluating the production capacity of gas wells in this type of reservoir has not been effectively resolved, and has long plagued gas field developers. According to the "Outline for Natural Gas Development and Management," although gas fields conduct gas well production capacity verification work every year, the verification relies on the production site, and the verified production capacity is difficult to quantitatively describe the underground gas production potential.

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0062] In related technologies, early evaluation of mine capacity generally uses Chen Yuanqian's "one-point method" to estimate the absolute unobstructed flow rate of gas wells, using this absolute unobstructed flow rate value as a reference for gas well capacity. However, this method has the following problems: 1. The calculation of the absolute unobstructed flow rate is based on the assumption that the gas well flow reaches a quasi-steady state. However, the method's applicability is often lacking in the evaluation of its suitability during mine testing and calculation, leading to incorrect capacity evaluation; 2. If the physical properties of the near-wellbore area are better than those of the far-wellbore area, the capacity will be optimistically estimated, the production scale will be too large, and the surface processing capacity will be greater than the underground gas supply capacity, resulting in wasted investment; 3. If the physical properties of the far-wellbore area are better than those of the near-wellbore area, the capacity evaluation will be conservative, the production scale will be too small, the surface processing capacity will be less than the underground gas supply capacity, creating a gathering and transportation bottleneck and increasing the investment recovery period.
[0063] Therefore, this disclosure provides a method for determining the production capacity of carbonate gas reservoirs, which aims to provide a new approach for determining the production capacity of low-permeability carbonate gas reservoirs, evaluate gas well production capacity, and guide production scale.
[0064] This method for determining the reservoir capacity of carbonate gas reservoirs is based on the concept of system node analysis and is applicable to determining the reservoir capacity, including the absolute unobstructed flow rate of gas wells and the maximum underground gas supply capacity.
[0065] To facilitate understanding, the concept of node analysis will be introduced first. Specifically:
[0066] Node analysis, also known as production system analysis, was proposed by Gilbert in 1954. Since the 1980s, it has been widely used in the design of oil and gas wells and water injection well systems, as well as in production dynamics prediction and gas production engineering design. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1This method divides the entire system into two subsystems at specific locations: an inflow system and an outflow system, corresponding to the "inflow curve" and "outflow curve," respectively. This location is called a "node." The inflow system is the permeation system from the node to the bottom of the well, and the outflow system is the permeation system from the gas well boundary to the node. Most nodes are located in the middle of the perforated section at the bottom of the well, and the choice of node is irrelevant to the final result of the system analysis. For example... Figure 1 As shown, both the "inflow curve" and the "outflow curve" represent the relationship between production and node pressure. Figure 1 The central coordination point is the intersection of the inflow curve and the outflow curve.
[0067] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for determining the production capacity of a carbonate gas reservoir according to an illustrative embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, this method is executed after well test data is available, and the method may include:
[0068] In step 101: Based on the heterogeneity of carbonate gas reservoirs, a radial composite model is constructed. The radial composite model is divided into two homogeneous regions, region I and region II, with region II surrounding region I.
[0069] The radial composite model is a mathematical model. The steps for constructing the radial composite model are usually as follows: obtain well test data through pressure recovery well testing; where pressure recovery well testing refers to lowering a test pressure gauge into the well, recording the curve of bottom hole pressure and temperature change over time after shut-in, and obtaining reservoir parameters such as permeability and skin depth by interpreting the test data.
[0070] Two homogeneous regions were divided based on the permeability in the well test data, and the radii of these two homogeneous regions were obtained.
[0071] In this context, homogeneity and heterogeneity are determined based on the permeability of each region. Regions with similar or identical permeability are considered homogeneous, while those with different permeability are considered heterogeneous. Therefore, the homogeneous region referred to in this application is not necessarily a completely homogeneous region, but rather an approximately homogeneous region.
[0072] In step 102: using the interface between region I and region II as a node, determine the flow equations for region I and region II.
[0073] In step 103: using the flow equation of zone II as the inflow equation and the flow equation of zone I as the outflow equation, typical inflow and outflow curves are plotted to construct a typical inflow and outflow chart for gas wells.
[0074] In step 104: Based on the typical inflow and outflow chart of the gas well, determine the absolute unobstructed flow rate of the gas well and the maximum underground gas supply capacity under the current operating conditions.
[0075] In this embodiment, the method for determining the production capacity of carbonate gas reservoirs starts from the concept of system node analysis. It identifies two homogeneous regions, Zone I and Zone II, by constructing a radial composite model. Based on the radial composite model, it determines the flow equation, and then calculates the inflow and outflow curves of the gas wells. This curve can graphically determine the maximum underground gas supply capacity and the absolute unobstructed flow rate of the gas well. This method provides a means to determine the production capacity of carbonate gas reservoirs, thereby providing guidance for evaluating gas well production capacity and determining production levels.
[0076] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for determining the production capacity of a carbonate gas reservoir according to an illustrative embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include:
[0077] In step 201: Based on the heterogeneity of carbonate gas reservoirs, a radial composite model is constructed. The radial composite model is divided into two homogeneous regions, region I and region II, with region II surrounding region I.
[0078] Carbonate gas reservoirs exhibit strong heterogeneity, and radial composite models (i.e., composite systems) are common models used in well test interpretation, widely applied in this type of reservoir. The model consists of a flow system composed of two homogeneous annular formations; the geological model is shown below. Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,in Figure 4 This is a plan view of the composite model. Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the composite model.
[0079] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that the composite system can be divided into two homogeneous regions, region I and region II, with the outer boundary radius of region I being r. I The inner boundary radius is r w The outer boundary radius of region II is r II The pressure at the boundary (i.e., the outer boundary of region I) is p. I The outer boundary pressure of zone II is pe. It is worth noting that... Figure 4 The smallest circle in the middle represents the wellbore of the gas well.
[0080] The formation thickness in zones I and II is h, and the permeability of zone I is K. I The penetration rate in Zone II is K. II .
[0081] In step 202: the flow equation of region I is determined using the interface between region I and region II as a node.
[0082] For example, the flow equation for region I is as follows:
[0083]
[0084] in,
[0085]
[0086]
[0087] Where, p I The pressure at the interface is expressed in MPa; p wf A is the bottom hole flowing pressure, in MPa. I This is the Darcy seepage coefficient for zone I, in MPa. 2 / (10 4 m 3 / d);q sc Gas production, in units of 10. 4 m 3 / d;B I The coefficient for the non-Darcy seepage term in Zone I is given in MPa. 2 / (10 4 m 3 / d) 2 μ is the gas viscosity, in mPa·s; Z is the deviation factor, dimensionless (i.e., dimensionless); T is the reservoir temperature, in K; K I For penetration rate, m 2 ;r I r is the outer boundary radius of region I, in meters. w The inner boundary radius of region I is given in meters (m); S is the skin factor, dimensionless; h is the reservoir thickness in meters (m); and D is the non-Darcy flow term coefficient in MPa. 2 / (10 4 m 3 / d).
[0088] Among the parameters mentioned above, r w The parameters are obtained from well completion data, h from well logging, and Z, μ, etc., from experimental or empirical formulas. Other parameters can be obtained from well test data. The methods for obtaining parameters in subsequent formulas are similar and will not be repeated here.
[0089] In step 203: the flow equation of region II is determined using the interface between region I and region II as a node.
[0090] For example, the flow equation for region II is as follows:
[0091]
[0092] in,
[0093]
[0094]
[0095] Where, p e The outer boundary pressure of zone II is expressed in MPa; p I The pressure at the interface is expressed in MPa; A II This is the Darcy seepage coefficient for Zone II, in MPa. 2 / (10 4 m 3 / d);q sc Gas production, in units of 10. 4 m 3 / d;B II The coefficient for the non-Darcy seepage term in Zone II is given in MPa. 2 / (10 4 m 3 / d) 2 μ is the gas viscosity, in mPa·s; Z is the deviation factor, dimensionless; T is the reservoir temperature, in K; K II Permeability, in meters (m) 2 ;r e r is the vent radius, in meters (m). I The outer boundary radius of region I is given in meters (m); h is the reservoir thickness in meters (m); and D is the non-Darcy flow term coefficient in MPa. 2 / (10 4 m 3 / d).
[0096] In step 204: using the flow equation of zone II as the inflow equation and the flow equation of zone I as the outflow equation, typical inflow and outflow curves are plotted to construct a typical inflow and outflow chart for gas wells.
[0097] Highly heterogeneous carbonate gas reservoirs often exhibit two forms in well test logarithmic curves, representing two typical reservoir types, as shown below. Figure 6 and Figure 7 .exist Figure 6 In this type of well, the post-reservoir cavern response is significant, reaching short-term radial flow in the second logarithmic cycle. The pressure derivative fitting curve (based on measured pressure derivative fitting) shows a large slope increase in the latter part, indicating low permeability in the outer zone as interpreted by well testing. These wells typically experience high leakage and high production during drilling and testing, but have poor stable production capacity. Figure 7 In this case, artificially modified fractures showed a significant response, indicating a negative skin layer. The permeability of the inner zone was lower than that of the outer zone. During drilling and testing, the loss of these wells was very small, resulting in low production.
[0098] The flow patterns of both types of reservoir gas wells mentioned above can be described by the composite system flow equation. Using the flow equation for zone II of the gas well as the inflow equation and the flow equation for zone I as the outflow equation, typical inflow and outflow curves are plotted as follows: Figure 8 As shown in the figure: Type 1 reservoir is of the external poor and internal good type. The inflow curve shows poor gas supply capacity and rapid pressure drop. The outflow curve of the inner zone has a small flow pressure difference. Combined with its well test double logarithmic curve, it is believed that the "one-point method" evaluation of production capacity is higher than the actual production capacity of the gas well. Type 2 reservoir is of the external good and internal poor type. The well test curve shows significant stimulation effect, but the inner zone reservoir may be contaminated by the influent fluid, resulting in lower permeability in the inner zone than in the outer zone. The inflow curve shows good gas supply capacity, but the deterioration of physical properties in the inner zone restricts gas flow. The outflow curve of the inner zone has a large flow pressure difference. The "one-point method" evaluation of production capacity is lower than the actual production capacity of the gas well.
[0099] The process of plotting typical inflow and outflow curves is as follows: obtain the parameters of reservoir zone I and zone II through well test data; calculate the inflow and outflow pressures at nodes under different gas production rates based on the parameters of reservoir zone I and zone II and the inflow and outflow equations; and plot the inflow and outflow curves based on the gas production rate and the inflow and outflow pressures.
[0100] The outflow curve can be drawn not only based on the current bottom hole pressure, but also based on ideal conditions, that is, based on atmospheric pressure at the bottom hole pressure.
[0101] That is, the outflow curve includes the first outflow curve when the bottom hole pressure is atmospheric pressure, and the second outflow curve when the bottom hole pressure is the current operating condition.
[0102] In step 205: Based on the typical inflow and outflow chart of the gas well, determine the absolute unobstructed flow rate of the gas well and the maximum underground gas supply capacity under the current operating conditions.
[0103] For example, the step includes:
[0104] The absolute unobstructed flow rate of the gas well is determined based on the intersection of the first outflow curve and the first inflow curve.
[0105] Based on the intersection of the second outflow curve and the second inflow curve, the maximum underground gas supply capacity under the current operating conditions is determined.
[0106] Among them, by interpreting typical inflow and outflow charts of gas wells, the intersection point of the outflow curve and the inflow curve is obtained.
[0107] The following describes in further detail the method for determining the production capacity of carbonate gas reservoirs provided in this disclosure, with reference to specific embodiments.
[0108] The Dengying Formation of the Sinian System and the Qixia Formation of the Lower Permian System in the Anyue Gas Field of the Sichuan Basin are key gas reservoirs for exploration and development by Southwest Oil & Gas Field Company. The Dengying Formation is currently in the production construction stage, while the Qixia Formation is in the trial production evaluation stage. The main development indicators for these reservoirs are shown in Table 1. The Dengying and Qixia Formations exhibit low permeability and strong heterogeneity. Although multiple production well tests have been conducted, the wells have failed to reach a near-steady state during testing, failing to meet the requirements of the "Technical Specification for Natural Gas Well Testing" (SY / T 5440-2009). Figure 9 (Table 2) The established production capacity equation has low accuracy and cannot describe the true seepage law of gas wells. This disclosure uses four wells from the Dengying Formation and Qixia Formation gas reservoirs as examples to illustrate the application of the method established in this disclosure in determining gas well production capacity and surface support.

[0110]
[0111] Table 2 Evaluation Table of Production Capacity Test Data for a Certain Well
[0112]
[0113] Examples include calculations for three gas wells from the Dengying Formation and one from the Qixia Formation, and oil testing of the above four wells.
[0114] Table 3 summarizes the capacity evaluation and production scale of the "single-point method". As can be seen from the table, the production scale is 1 / 6 to 1 / 5 of the absolute unobstructed flow rate of the "single-point method".
[0115] Table 3 Summary of Example Well Tests and Surface Support
[0116]
[0117] In this example, pressure recovery tests were conducted on all four wells. The test interpretations revealed low permeability and strong heterogeneity. The results are shown in Table 4. The table shows that wells A and D are type 1 reservoirs, with better external properties than internal properties, resulting in strong gas supply capacity. Well C is a type 2 reservoir, with worse external properties than internal properties, resulting in weak gas supply capacity. Well B, although belonging to type 1 reservoirs, shows relatively small differences in external and internal properties.
[0118] Table 4 Summary of Well Test Interpretation Results for Example Wells
[0119]
[0120] Based on the well test interpretation data in Table 4, the productivity coefficients A and B for Zones I and II of the four example wells were calculated, and gas well inflow and outflow charts were plotted. Well number A is shown in [reference]. Figure 14 See also B (hash symbol). Figure 15 See hash C. Figure 16 See hash symbol D. Figure 17 .from Figures 14-17 As can be seen from the data, the gas production at the coordination points of the four example wells were 55, 52, 24, and 48 × 10⁻⁶, respectively. 4 m / d, this gas production rate represents the current maximum underground gas production capacity of these four wells. Furthermore, considering the outflow curves under the condition of zero bottom-hole flowing pressure, the absolute unobstructed flow rates of the four wells can be obtained as 168, 160, 40, and 250 × 10⁻⁶ m / d, respectively. 4 m / d.
[0121] Comparing the maximum gas production capacity of gas wells with the designated production scale, it is easy to see that there is a certain mismatch between the designated production scale and the underground production capacity (Table 5). Well C has a high test production, and the "single-point method" for absolute unobstructed flow rate optimistically estimates the gas well's production capacity, resulting in an overestimation of the designated production capacity. However, the physical properties of the outer zone of this well are worse than those of the inner zone, leading to insufficient gas supply capacity. Wells A, B, and D have better physical properties in the outer zone than in the inner zone. Therefore, the production capacity evaluated by the "single-point method" for unobstructed flow rate is relatively conservative, and the surface infrastructure is underdeveloped.
[0122] Table 5 Evaluation of the Correspondence between Underground Production Capacity and Surface Support in Example Wells
[0123]
[0124] Field practice using this method has revealed that for low-permeability carbonate gas reservoirs, the "single-point method" for evaluating well productivity using well test data often results in significant errors, making it difficult to match the determined production scale with the actual underground production capacity. This method, based on well test interpretation and nodal analysis-based production allocation, supplements existing methods for determining production capacity. It calculates the production coefficients for inner and outer zones based on well test interpretation data, evaluates the absolute unobstructed flow rate of the gas well by plotting underground inflow and outflow curves, and determines the maximum underground gas production capacity. This method is computationally convenient, highly operable, and effectively solves the problem of production capacity evaluation for this type of gas reservoir.
[0125] This method for determining the production capacity of carbonate gas reservoirs, based on the concept of system node analysis, proposes to use pressure recovery well test interpretation data to create a graph of gas well inflow and outflow curves. This graph can graphically determine the maximum underground gas supply capacity and the absolute unobstructed flow rate of the gas well. This method supplements existing gas well production capacity evaluation methods, providing guidance for evaluating and determining gas well production capacity. Its practicality has been demonstrated through case studies of the Dengying and Qixia Formations gas reservoirs in the Anyue Gas Field of the Sichuan Basin.
