[0160] In one embodiment, step S3 is implemented as follows:

[0161] Using the nighttime surface temperature data of the study area, the surface temperature gradient calculation model is used to calculate the horizontal surface temperature gradient data. The temperature gradient classification and data post-processing are then performed to obtain the surface temperature gradient raster data of the study area.

[0162] Further, step S3 includes:

[0163] The surface temperature gradient data of the study area was calculated using the night surface temperature data of the study area.

[0164] Using the surface temperature gradient calculation model, calculate the temperature gradient value of each grid and generate the temperature gradient grid data map;

[0165] Among them, the surface temperature gradient calculation model is preferably:

[0166]

[0167] Where:

[0168] is the partial derivative in the x direction; is the partial derivative in the y direction; ΔT is the temperature gradient.

[0169] In one embodiment, step S4 is implemented as follows:

[0170] The surface temperature gradient grid data of the study area was used to classify the state into five categories: burned area, fire wall, coking zone, oil wall, and residual oil area. The classified data were vectorized and post-processed to determine the horizontal distribution data of the fire drive combustion front.

[0171] Further, step S4 includes:

[0172] 1) Fire flooding production areas are classified into five types: burned area, fire wall, coking zone, oil wall, and residual oil area. Based on the impact of different regional states on the change of surface temperature gradient, the surface temperature gradient classification thresholds for the five types of regional states are determined;

[0173] 2) Based on the surface temperature gradient grid data and classification thresholds in the study area, raster data of five regional states in the study area, namely, burned area, fire wall, coking zone, oil wall, and remaining oil area, were obtained;

[0174] 3) The raster data of the five types of regional states in the study area were spatially vectorized to determine the plane distribution of the burned area, fire wall, coking zone, oil wall, and residual oil area, thereby obtaining the horizontal distribution data of the fire flooding combustion front;

[0175] Furthermore, in the process of spatial vectorization of the raster data of the five types of regional states in the study area, patch integration, boundary smoothing, topology reconstruction, and data clipping were performed to obtain the edge distribution data of the five types of regional states in the horizontal direction of fire drive in the study area, thereby completing the spatial vectorization of the raster data of the five types of regional states in the study area.

[0176] In one embodiment, step S5 is implemented as follows:

[0177] Based on the surface temperature gradient grid data of the study area, focusing on the effects of heat conduction and convection during fire flooding production, combined with reservoir engineering and energy conservation principles, and combined with the temperature curve data of observation wells in the study area, a heat transfer model for the vertical temperature of the fire flooding combustion front was established and solved. The vertical depths of the burned zone, fire wall, coking zone, oil wall, and residual oil zone were determined, thereby determining the vertical distribution of the fire flooding combustion front.

[0178] Further, step S5 includes:

[0179] 1) Determine the depth of the constant temperature layer based on the observation well temperature curve data;

[0180] 2) Determine the number of reservoir temperature systems based on the observed well temperature curve data;

[0181] 3) Based on the depth of the isothermal layer, the number of reservoir temperature systems, and the observation well temperature curve data, determine the reservoir temperature values ​​at different depths in the study area;

[0182] 4) Based on the heat conduction and convection effects during the fire flooding production process, and using surface temperature gradient grid data and reservoir temperature values ​​at different depths in the study area, a heat transfer model for the vertical temperature of the fire flooding combustion front was established and solved. The vertical depths of the burned zone, fire wall, coking zone, oil wall, and residual oil zone were determined, thereby determining the vertical distribution of the fire flooding combustion front.

[0183] The vertical heat transfer process at the combustion front includes convection of rising steam condensation heat and conduction in the formation. As the combustion front evolves, the extent of the burned zone, fire wall, coking zone, oil wall, and residual oil zone constantly changes, and convection heat transfer occurs in adjacent areas. Combining reservoir engineering with the principle of energy conservation, Fourier's law, and Newton's law of cooling, the depths of the burned zone, fire wall, coking zone, oil wall, and residual oil zone are determined.

[0184] Further optimization, based on the observation well temperature curve data, the depth of the isothermal layer is determined including:

[0185] Based on the well temperature instrument logging curve, a linear regression model of the isothermal layer temperature and the surface temperature is established; at the same time, the linear regression model of the isothermal layer temperature and the surface temperature is corrected using the observed well temperature data;

[0186] Furthermore, the number of broken line segments in the reservoir temperature system curve is determined based on the well temperature logging curve. In the reservoir temperature system curve, it is assumed that the thermal conductivity λ is uniformly layered, that is:

[0187] D0≤z≤D1, λ=λ1; D1≤z≤D2, λ=λ2;…D n-1 ≤z≤D n ,λ=λ n ;

[0188] Among them, D i (i=0,1,2…n) is the burial depth of the stratum, where D0 is the burial depth of the isothermal layer;

[0189] Furthermore, according to the well temperature instrument logging curve, the burial depth and slope of each broken line segment in the reservoir temperature system curve are determined; then, combined with the night surface temperature data of the study area, the reservoir temperature system curve (such as Figure 5 shown);

[0190] Among them, the data from well temperature meters are obvious, large in quantity and easy to collect, making them very suitable for determining the depth of the isothermal layer.

[0191] Furthermore, combining reservoir engineering with the principle of energy conservation, and based on Fourier's law and Newton's law of cooling, the vertical depths of the burned zone, fire wall, coking zone, oil wall, and remaining oil zone are determined;

[0192] Furthermore, the vertical depths of the burned area, fire wall, coking zone, oil wall, and residual oil area are determined according to the following formula:

[0193] dQ=αdA(TT W )

[0194]

[0195] Where: dQ is the micro-element convective heat transfer rate, dA is the micro-element heat transfer area, α is the local convective heat transfer coefficient, T is the temperature of the high temperature zone, T W is the temperature of the low temperature zone, λ is the thermal conductivity, and z is the reservoir depth.

[0196] In one embodiment, step S6 includes:

[0198] Based on the temperature history values ​​of the time and space points in the fire drive combustion front, a time and space empirical variation function is established;

[0199] According to the empirical function of space-time theory, a space-time theory variation function model is established;

[0200] Through geostatistical methods and the use of a spatiotemporal theoretical variation function model, the horizontal and vertical distribution data of the fire drive combustion front are subjected to reservoir temperature fitting and interpolation processing to obtain the three-dimensional distribution data of the fire drive combustion front.

[0201] Furthermore, the prediction of the historical temperature values ​​of the time and space points in the fire drive combustion front is based on the following formula:

[0202] and

[0203] Where: z0 is the temperature history value of the space-time point in the fire drive combustion front, z i (i=1, ..., n) is the temperature value of the known time and space point in the i-th fire drive combustion front, λ i is the weight coefficient;

[0204] Furthermore, the spatiotemporal empirical variation function is established based on the following formula:

[0205]

[0206] Where: h S ,h T are spatial interval variables and time interval variables respectively, N(h S , h T ) is the number of point pairs that conform to the defined spatial and temporal intervals;

[0207] Furthermore, the spatiotemporal theoretical variation function model is established based on the following formula:

[0208] γ(h S , h T )=γ S (h S )+γ T (h T )+γ ST (h ST )

[0209] Where, γ S (h S ),γ T (h T ),γ ST (h ST ) are spatial variogram, temporal variogram and spatiotemporal variogram respectively;

[0210] Furthermore, the spatial variation function uses a spatial theoretical model such as a Gaussian model, a hemispherical model, an exponential model, a linear model, etc.;

[0211] Furthermore, the time variation function uses a spatial theoretical model such as a Gaussian model, a hemispherical model, an exponential model, a linear model, etc.;

[0212] Furthermore, the spatiotemporal variation function uses a spatial theoretical model such as a Gaussian model, a hemispherical model, an exponential model, a linear model, etc.;

[0213] Furthermore, the reservoir temperature fitting interpolation processing is performed according to the spatiotemporal Kriging interpolation algorithm.

[0214] Among them, based on the horizontal distribution data of the fire drive combustion front at different periods, the vertical distribution data of the fire drive combustion front and the three-dimensional distribution data of the fire drive combustion front, the surface temperature data of the study area determined based on thermal infrared remote sensing images, the simulation and calculation of the fire drive temperature system, the actual temperature data of the observation wells, etc., iterative fitting and model optimization are continuously performed to realize the monitoring of the horizontal distribution data of the fire drive combustion front at different periods, the vertical distribution data of the fire drive combustion front and the three-dimensional distribution data of the fire drive combustion front.

[0215] In one embodiment, the steps for establishing a spatiotemporal theoretical variogram model may be as follows:

[0216] 1. Define the non-stationary space-time variable Z(x) = {Z(s, t)|s∈S, t∈T}, where S represents the spatial domain and S∈R 2 ; T represents the spatial domain, T∈R.

[0217] 2. Using the horizontal distribution model of fire drive combustion and the vertical distribution model of fire drive combustion, predict the temperature history value of the unmeasured time and space point (s0, t0) in the current fire drive combustion, that is:

[0218] and

[0219] Where: z0 is the temperature history value of the unmeasured time and space point (s0, t0) in the current fire drive combustion, z i (i=1, ..., n) is the temperature value of the measured time and space point (s0, t0) in the current fire drive combustion, λ i is the weight coefficient.

[0220] Under the condition of the intrinsic hypothesis, the spatiotemporal empirical variation function is defined to calculate the spatiotemporal semivariance value.

[0221]

[0222] Where: h S ,h T are spatial and time interval variables, respectively, N(h S , h T ) is the number of point pairs in the sample that conform to the defined spatial and temporal intervals.

[0223] 3. Based on the Bilonick space-time separation model, define the space-time theoretical variation function model:

[0224] γ(h S , h T )=γ S (h S )+γ T (h T )+γ ST (h ST )

[0225] Where, γ S (h S ),γ T (h T ),γ ST (h ST ) are space, time and spatiotemporal variation functions respectively, and their forms can follow the spatial theoretical models such as Gaussian model, hemispherical model, exponential model, linear model, etc.

[0226] 4. Based on the acquired theoretical spatiotemporal variation model of the three-dimensional distribution of fire drive combustion, using the observation well temperature data, the horizontal distribution of fire drive combustion, and the vertical distribution of fire drive combustion, the three-dimensional spatiotemporal distribution of each spatiotemporal point of fire drive combustion is obtained by interpolation according to the spatiotemporal kriging interpolation algorithm.

[0227] In one embodiment, step S7 is performed as follows:

[0228] Based on the horizontal distribution data of the fire flooding combustion front at different periods, the vertical distribution data of the fire flooding combustion front, and the three-dimensional distribution data of the fire flooding combustion front, the spatiotemporal evolution speed of the fire flooding combustion front is determined by fitting regression method, and then a spatiotemporal pan-kriging prediction model is established to predict the change process of the reservoir temperature, and thus the spatiotemporal evolution process of the fire flooding is obtained.

[0229] Furthermore, the spatiotemporal evolution speed of the fire drive combustion front is determined according to the following formula:

[0230] Z(x)={Z(s,t)|s∈S,t∈T}

[0231] Where S represents the spatial domain of the fire drive combustion front, S∈R 2 ; T represents the time domain of the fire-driven combustion front, T∈R; Z(x) can be decomposed into the following form: Z(s, t) = M(s, t) + R(s, t), where M(s, t) is the mathematical expectation of the temperature at the time and space point (s, t) of the fire-driven combustion front, and represents the drift at the time and space point (s, t); R(s, t) is the remaining part of the fire-driven combustion front temperature after removing the trend, and represents the random error of Z(s, t) under the preset scale of fluctuation around the trend M(s, t);

[0232] Furthermore, the spatiotemporal pan-Kriging prediction model is established based on the following formula:

[0233]

[0234] where Z * (s, t) is the temperature change value, which is used to represent the Kriging prediction value of the spatiotemporal trend of Z(s, t); is the expected value of the spatiotemporal trend M(s, t) of the fire drive combustion front temperature at the spatiotemporal point (s, t); is the spatiotemporal ordinary kriging prediction value of the residual R(s, t) at the spatiotemporal point (s, t).

[0235] In one embodiment, iterative fitting is continuously performed on the three-dimensional distribution data of the fire drive combustion front to obtain a fire drive combustion front evolution model. Based on the monitoring results of the horizontal distribution, vertical distribution, and three-dimensional distribution of the fire drive combustion front at different periods, the spatiotemporal temperature of the fire drive combustion front is obtained by fitting regression methods. Then, a spatiotemporal pan-kriging prediction model is established to predict the change process of the reservoir temperature, thereby obtaining the spatiotemporal evolution process of the fire drive combustion front. The steps may include:

[0236] 1) Calculate the fire drive combustion front temperature: Z(x) = {Z(s, t) | s∈S, t∈T}, where S represents the spatial domain of the fire drive combustion front temperature, S∈R 2 ; T represents the time domain of the fire drive combustion front temperature, T∈R; Z(x) can be decomposed into the following form: Z(s, t)=M(s, t)+R(s, t)

[0237] Where M(s, t) is the mathematical expectation of the temperature at the spatiotemporal point M(s, t) on the fire drive combustion front, representing the drift at point (s, t), that is, the trend part; R(s, t) is the remaining part of the fire drive combustion front temperature after removing the trend, representing the random error of Z(s, t) at a smaller scale around the trend M(s, t), that is, the residual part.

[0238] 2) Based on the fire drive combustion front temperature, the evolution process of the fire drive combustion front is predicted according to the following formula:

[0239] Assume that the spatiotemporal trend kriging prediction value of Z(s, t) is Z * (s, t), ensure Z * (s, t) is the optimal unbiased estimate of Z(s, t):

[0240]

[0241] Where, is the expected value of the spatiotemporal trend M(s, t) of the temperature during the evolution of the fire drive combustion front at the spatiotemporal point (s, t); is the spatiotemporal ordinary kriging prediction value of the residual R(s, t) at the spatiotemporal point (s, t).

[0242] Among them, after continuously iteratively fitting the three-dimensional distribution data of the fire-driven combustion front to obtain the fire-driven combustion front evolution model, the expansion speed, expansion shape and expansion size of the fire-driven combustion front are calculated in real time according to the fire-driven combustion front evolution model.

[0243] In the embodiment, based on the multi-period horizontal, vertical, and three-dimensional monitoring results of the combustion front, iterative fitting and model optimization can be continuously performed through satellite remote sensing surface temperature inversion, fire drive temperature system simulation and estimation, and observation well temperature measured data, to analyze the combustion front evolution speed, obtain a fire drive evolution model, and predict the evolution process of the combustion front.
