Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a dynamic prediction method for gas-water two-phase production in nested media of deep coalbed methane reservoirs, specifically to an integrated dynamic prediction method, device, medium, and equipment for gas-water two-phase production in nested media of "matrix-cleavage-fracture" in deep coalbed methane reservoirs, belonging to the field of oil and gas field development technology. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to shallow coalbed methane reservoirs, deep coalbed methane reservoirs have poorer physical properties and higher in-situ stress, resulting in poor adaptability to conventional fracturing techniques. Their large-scale development necessitates the use of long horizontal wells and large-scale hydraulic fracturing technology. Since coal seams themselves are a dual-porosity media system composed of matrix and cleavage, and deep coal seams simultaneously develop and retain numerous natural fractures, fracturing will create a complex nested "matrix-cleavage-fracture" media system.

[0003] The degree of fracturing stimulation is one of the main factors restricting the production capacity of deep coalbed methane wells. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the fracturing stimulation body is a prerequisite for optimized fracturing design and efficient development of deep coalbed methane. Simultaneously, to predict the production capacity of deep coalbed methane wells, it is necessary to clarify the adsorption and desorption characteristics of deep coalbed methane and the nonlinear flow mechanism in micro- and nano-pores. Furthermore, coalbed methane development inevitably involves a gas-water two-phase flow stage, and the gas-water two-phase flow characteristics in the nested media of deep coalbed methane reservoirs are even more complex. Deep coal seams are located in a high-stress environment, and the reservoirs exhibit strong stress sensitivity. This stress sensitivity has a severe negative impact on gas-water permeability, directly affecting the stable production capacity of gas wells. Therefore, accurate prediction of the production capacity of deep coalbed methane wells must consider the influence of stress sensitivity and the gas-water two-phase flow characteristics in the nested media. Thus, establishing a dynamic prediction method for gas-water two-phase production in nested media of deep coalbed methane reservoirs is of great significance for deep coalbed methane development scheme design, fracturing evaluation, production dynamic analysis, and prediction.

[0004] Currently, methods for predicting the production capacity of deep coalbed methane wells mainly include analytical, semi-analytical, and numerical simulation methods. Analytical methods are typically based on steady-state flow theory, establishing a coalbed methane well production capacity calculation model. This is mainly achieved by introducing two-phase pseudo-pressures to linearize the equations and deriving the production capacity equation for water-producing gas wells using conformal transformation and the principle of potential superposition, converting water production into gas production for evaluation. However, when dealing with the nonlinearity of the two-phase flow equations, this method usually only introduces two-phase pseudo-pressures to simplify the solution, neglecting the influence of nonlinear flow parameters. Furthermore, analytical methods struggle to characterize complex fracture networks, resulting in large errors in production capacity prediction. Semi-analytical methods are primarily based on the linear flow assumption. This method can effectively characterize fracture network modified bodies and is computationally convenient, leading to its widespread application. However, existing semi-analytical methods are only applicable to single-phase fluid production capacity prediction. For the two-phase flow of gas and water encountered during coalbed methane development, the semi-analytical model is no longer suitable due to the severe nonlinearity of the mathematical model itself. Numerical simulation methods can explicitly characterize the parameters of artificial fractures and handle multiphase fluid flow problems. However, the preprocessing is complex. To obtain high simulation accuracy, mesh refinement of the fractures is required, resulting in a large number of meshes and low computational efficiency when processing tens of thousands of case analyses. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish a method for predicting the gas-water two-phase production dynamics in nested media of deep coalbed methane reservoirs. This is of great significance for accurately describing the characteristics of pressure fracture networks in deep coalbed methane reservoirs, revealing the gas-water two-phase seepage laws in the "matrix-cleavage-fracture" nested media, and rapidly and accurately predicting the gas-water two-phase production dynamics. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an integrated prediction method, apparatus, medium, and equipment for gas-water two-phase production dynamics in a nested "matrix-cleavage-fracture" medium in deep coalbed methane reservoirs. It considers the complex fracture network formed by segmented multi-cluster fracturing in deep coalbed methane, the nonlinear flow mechanisms of coalbed methane adsorption-desorption, diffusion, and stress sensitivity, as well as the gas-water two-phase flow characteristics in the nested "matrix-cleavage-fracture" medium. This allows for more accurate acquisition of key seepage parameters of the fracture network, coal reservoir stress sensitivity coefficient, adsorption coefficient, and accurate and rapid prediction of gas-water two-phase production dynamics.

[0024] (4) The artificial fractures are directly connected to the wellbore, and the fluid flows into the production wellbore only through the fractures. The fluid in the reservoir continuously flows to the fractures to provide energy supply.

[0025] (5) Consider the reservoir permeability stress sensitivity;

[0026] (6) Considering the co-production of gas and water, both the coal seam cleavage and artificial fractures are two-phase flow of gas and water, and conform to isothermal Darcy flow.

[0027] (7) The adsorption and desorption of coalbed methane in the matrix follows the Langmuir theory;

[0028] (8) Compared with gas, the compressibility coefficient of formation water is small and can be ignored;

[0029] (9) The effects of gravity and capillary force are not considered.

[0103] Step S406: Calculate the mean formation pressure and mean saturation using the mass balance method. The mean pressure function constructed from the mass balance equation is as follows:

[0104]

[0105]

[0106]

By iteratively calculating step by step, the solution of the mathematical model for the dynamic analysis of gas-water two-phase production in the nested medium of deep coalbed gas reservoirs can be obtained.

[0123] Step S604: Fit the theoretical sample curve with the measured curve, adjust the parameters and iteratively calculate the key seepage parameters of the reservoir and fractures, and then predict the gas-water two-phase production dynamics. The above fitting interpretation parameters and prediction results have important guiding significance for the fracturing optimization design and development scheme adjustment of deep coal seam gas reservoirs.

The physical model considers the basic characteristics of hydraulic fracturing fracture network, gas adsorption-desorption-diffusion in nested media, gas-water two-phase seepage mechanism, and stress sensitivity effect of coal reservoirs, which are more in line with reality. Therefore, it can more realistically reflect the flow law of gas-water two-phase fluid in nested media.

[0135] Secondly, this invention utilizes a semi-analytical method based on flow material balance and successive iterative replacement to calculate the dimensionless production solution of gas-water two-phase flow in deep coalbed methane wells.

[0141] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0142] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of the dynamic prediction method for gas-water two-phase production in nested media of deep coalbed methane reservoirs, as described in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the dynamic prediction method for gas-water two-phase production in nested media of deep coalbed methane reservoirs in this embodiment of the invention may include the following steps:

[0143] Step S10: Analyze the spatial distribution and basic characteristics of the fracture network formed by hydraulic fracturing in deep coal seams, clarify the dynamic equilibrium mechanism of gas adsorption-desorption-diffusion and gas-water two-phase seepage in the nested medium of deep coal seam gas reservoirs, and perform precise characterization step by step.

[0144] In this step, based on the understanding of the extension law of deep coal seam pressure fractures and the results of microseismic monitoring, the fractures in the fracture network are subdivided into artificial fractures and natural fractures according to parameters such as fracture formation mechanism, scale, distribution density and conductivity.

[0145] In this step, based on the spatial distribution and seepage parameters of the fracture network, the induced fractures and natural fractures in the fracture network are characterized using the equivalent continuous medium method.

[0146] In this step, based on the desorption, diffusion, and seepage characteristics during the coalbed methane reservoir drainage process, the Langmuir isotherm adsorption law is used to characterize the adsorption and desorption mechanism in the nested medium of coalbed methane, as follows:

[0147]

[0148] Where: V—adsorption capacity, m 3 V L —Langmuir volume, m 3 / m 3 ;ψ L —Langmuir simulated pressure, MPa 2 / (mPa·s).

[0149] The diffusion mechanism in nested media of coalbed methane is characterized by quasi-steady-state diffusion using Fick's first diffusion law, as follows:

[0150]

[0151] Where: D—gas diffusion coefficient, m 2 / s;V m —The average gas concentration within the coal matrix block under pseudo-steady-state diffusion conditions, m 3 / m 3 V E —Gas concentration at the interface between the coal matrix block and the cleavage, m 3 / m 3 ;σ s —Shape factor of coal matrix block, 1 / m 2 .

[0152] Darcy's law is used to characterize the gas-water two-phase flow mechanism in cleavages and fractures, as follows:

[0153]

[0154] In the formula: v fg —Gas seepage velocity in the cleavage system, m / s; v fw — Formation water seepage velocity in the cleavage system, m / s; v Fg —Gas seepage velocity in the artificial fracture system, m / s; v Fw —Formation water seepage velocity in the artificial fracture system, m / s; μ g —Gas viscosity, mPa·s; μ w — Formation water viscosity, mPa·s; kJ f —Pergeusia, mD; k frg —Relative gas-phase permeability of the cleavage system; k frw —Relative permeability of the aqueous phase in the cleavage system; k F —Crack permeability, mD; k Frg —Relative gas permeability of the fracture system; k Frw —Relative permeability of the water phase in the fracture system.

[0155] Step S20: Based on the spatial distribution and basic characteristics of the fracture network formed by hydraulic fracturing in deep coal seams and the dynamic equilibrium mechanism of gas adsorption-desorption-diffusion and gas-water two-phase seepage in the nested medium of deep coal seam gas reservoirs, a physical model for the dynamic analysis of gas-water two-phase production in the nested medium of deep coal seam gas reservoirs is established.

[0156] In this step, based on the basic characteristics of artificial fracture networks, cleavage, and matrix in deep coal seams, the complex fracture network is processed into an equivalent fracturing body from the perspective of establishing a seepage mathematical model. At the same time, considering the gas adsorption-desorption, diffusion, and gas-water two-phase seepage effects in the nested medium of deep coal seam gas reservoirs, the fracturing body is characterized by a trilinear flow model, thereby establishing a physical model for the dynamic analysis of gas-water two-phase production in the nested medium of deep coal seam gas reservoirs.

[0157] The equivalent fracturing body consists of an artificial main fracture, an inner fracturing zone, and an outer fracturing zone. The inner fracturing zone primarily considers the complex fracture network system formed by fracturing, treating it as a "nested medium" of artificial fractures, natural fractures, cleavage, and matrix, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the outer zone of the fracturing-modified area, since it has not been subjected to fracturing modification, is treated as a "dual medium" of cleavage and matrix.

[0158] In the aforementioned trilinear flow model, the fluid flow is divided into three regions: the linear flow region of the inner fracture zone, the linear flow region of the formation fluid perpendicular to the fracture zone, and the linear flow region of the outer fluid parallel to the fracture zone. In each region, the fluid flow is treated as linear flow, that is, the outer fluid flows linearly into the inner fracture medium, the fluid in the inner cleavage zone flows linearly into the inner fracture medium, and then flows linearly from the inner fracture zone into the artificial fracture.

[0159] Before establishing the seepage mathematical model, it is necessary to first define the assumptions of the physical model. Based on the multi-medium nested model of deep coalbed methane reservoirs, the assumptions of the physical model include:

[0160] (1) The top, bottom and lateral boundaries of the three regions in the deep coal seam are all closed;

[0161] (2) All deep coal seams were fractured, and the fractures were symmetrical with the shaft.

[0162] (3) The artificial fractures are vertical and penetrate the reservoir, and intersect only at the perforation of the horizontal well, while the rest of the horizontal well is sealed.

[0163] (4) The artificial fractures are directly connected to the wellbore, and the fluid flows into the production wellbore only through the fractures. The fluid in the reservoir continuously flows to the fractures to provide energy supply.

[0164] (5) Consider the reservoir permeability stress sensitivity;

[0165] (6) Considering the co-production of gas and water, both the coal seam cleavage and artificial fractures are two-phase flow of gas and water, and conform to isothermal Darcy flow.

[0166] (7) The adsorption and desorption of coalbed methane in the matrix follows the Langmuir theory;

[0167] (8) Compared with gas, the compressibility coefficient of formation water is small and can be ignored;

[0168] (9) The effects of gravity and capillary force are not considered.

[0169] Step S30: Based on the physical model, establish a mathematical model for dynamic analysis of gas-water two-phase production in nested media of deep coalbed methane reservoirs.

[0170] In this step, based on the assumptions of the physical model, the flow process in the production stage is divided into three parts: outer zone flow, inner zone flow, and artificial fracture flow. Seepage models for the fluid flow in each part are then established. The specific steps are as follows:

[0171] Step S301: The migration of coalbed methane in the inner and outer zones involves several processes: desorption, diffusion, and seepage. In the matrix, desorption and diffusion are the primary mechanisms; seepage due to pressure differences is absent. The adsorption and desorption processes of coalbed methane are characterized using Langmuir's isothermal adsorption law, the diffusion process using Fick's first law (quasi-steady-state diffusion), and the gas-water two-phase seepage in the cleavage system using Darcy's equation. This yields the actual seepage equation for the outer zone matrix-cleavage system. To simplify the mathematical model, dimensionless parameters and their definitions are introduced. The gas-phase flow equation is treated with quasi-pressure and quasi-time. The dimensionless gas-phase seepage equation for the outer zone cleavage system is:

[0184] Step S302: The inner zone mainly considers the complex fracture network system formed by fracturing. The fracture system is equivalent to a dual-medium system, characterized using the Kazemi unsteady-state flow model. The adsorption and desorption process of coalbed methane in the inner zone is characterized using Langmuir's isothermal adsorption law, and the diffusion process is characterized using Fick's first law of quasi-steady-state diffusion. The gas-water two-phase flow in the cleavage system is characterized using Darcy's equation. Introducing dimensionless parameters and their definitions, the dimensionless inner zone nested medium flow equation is obtained, including the flow equations for fractures, cleavages, and the matrix. In this step, the inner zone fracture system flow equation is:

[0185]

[0186] The vapor phase flow equation for the inner zone cleavage system is:

[0210] In this step, a semi-analytical method is used to solve the mathematical model of the gas-water two-phase production dynamics analysis of nested media in deep coalbed methane reservoirs, obtaining the gas-water two-phase solution. The semi-analytical method combines flow mass balance and iterative replacement. The flow mass balance method is used to calculate the average pressure and average saturation of the reservoir, and the nonlinear parameters in the seepage model are updated iteratively to gradually linearize the seepage model, thereby obtaining the semi-analytical solution of the mathematical model. This method can accurately handle the nonlinear seepage problem of gas-water two-phase flow and has the high computational efficiency of analytical methods.

[0211] This method may specifically include the following steps:

In each time step, the pressure-related parameter (μ) g B g ) and parameters related to saturation (k) frg k frw k Frg k Frw The average pressure and average saturation within the operating range are updated and replaced respectively. Therefore, the nonlinear parameters at each time step can be treated as constant approximations. After dealing with the nonlinear seepage problem, the gas phase and water phase yields at each time step can be obtained by directly solving the equations.

[0213] Step S402: Perform a Laplace transform on the gas-water two-phase flow equations of the outer zone to obtain the pressure solution of the gas-phase flow equations of the outer zone cleavage system in Laplace space:

Through iterative calculation, the solution of the mathematical model for the dynamic analysis of gas-water two-phase production in the nested medium of deep coalbed methane reservoirs can be obtained. Then, Matlab software is used to program and solve the problem to draw the theoretical template curve for predicting the dynamic production of gas and water two-phase production, thereby predicting the dynamic production of gas and water.

[0283] Example 1

[0284] This case study uses production data from CBM1, a multi-stage fractured horizontal well in a coalbed methane reservoir in the Ordos Basin. CBM1 is a horizontal well in a coalbed methane field in the Ordos Basin, with an interval of 2002–2498m and a well length of 1000m. It was put into production in March 2021, with a formation pressure of 18.9 MPa in the middle of the formation. Eight stages of mixed water fracturing were performed on this well. Production dynamic data from March 1, 2021 to August 18, 2022 were used for fitting and interpretation, and then gas-water two-phase production capacity prediction was carried out based on the fitting results.

[0285] The dynamic prediction method for gas-water two-phase production in deep coalbed methane reservoirs, as described in this invention, was used to fit the production dynamic data of well CBM1. The double logarithmic fitting curve is shown below. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the model fits the production of the gas-water two-phase mixture in deep coalbed methane wells very well very well.

[0286] Table 1 shows the reservoir and fracture parameters of the well obtained after fitting and inversion. Comparison reveals that the inversion results are consistent with the geological characteristics and actual production of the gas reservoir. The obtained key seepage parameters of the reservoir and fractures can provide theoretical guidance for predicting the production capacity of coalbed methane wells, optimizing fracturing parameters, and evaluating post-fracturing effects.

[0291] First, this invention describes the gas-water two-phase flow characteristics of nested media in deep coalbed gas reservoirs and the dynamic changes in gas well production by establishing physical and mathematical models. The physical model considers the basic characteristics of hydraulic fracturing fracture network, gas adsorption-desorption-diffusion in nested media, gas-water two-phase seepage mechanism, and stress sensitivity effect of coal reservoirs, which are more in line with reality. It can more realistically reflect the flow law of gas-water two-phase fluid in nested media.

[0292] Secondly, this invention uses a semi-analytical method based on flow material balance and successive iterative replacement to calculate the dimensionless production solution of gas-water two-phase flow in deep coalbed methane wells. At the same time, it clarifies the flow characteristics of gas-water two-phase flow in nested media and its impact on production dynamics. This effectively solves the problem that the gas-water two-phase flow model of deep coalbed methane reservoirs is difficult to solve efficiently and accurately. This method has the advantages of fast calculation speed and good fitting effect.

[0293] Third, this invention uses the generated theoretical curve of gas-water two-phase production dynamics prediction of nested medium in deep coal seam gas reservoirs to fit and interpret the actual production data of the gas field, and obtains key seepage parameters, stress sensitivity coefficient, adsorption coefficient, etc. of the fracturing network. It also accurately predicts the gas-water two-phase production dynamics for the next 20 years. The results can provide reference and guidance for the optimization design and development scheme adjustment of fracturing in deep coal seam gas reservoirs.
