Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of offshore oil and gas extraction technology, specifically to a method for classifying and predicting development indicators of offshore water-driven sandstone oil reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing level of offshore exploration and development, it is becoming increasingly difficult to discover large and medium-sized integrated oil and gas reservoirs that are shallow, have low technical requirements, are easy to develop, and have good economic benefits. Exploration targets are gradually shifting towards small structural traps, stratigraphic traps, and lithological traps. Oil and gas field types are changing from conventional reservoirs to areas with low abundance, low permeability, and heavy oil. Compared to onshore oilfield exploration and development, offshore water-driven sandstone reservoirs are characterized by high investment, high risk, and high technical requirements. Therefore, making reasonable predictions of development indicators as early as possible during the target pre-exploration, exploration evaluation, and reserve evaluation stages is a crucial foundation for the initial economic assessment of offshore oilfield development projects and an important basis for deciding whether to initiate the next stage of evaluation work and even the preparation of a formal development plan. Currently, the prediction of development indicators for offshore water-driven sandstone reservoirs during the target pre-exploration, exploration evaluation, and reserve evaluation stages is mainly determined based on reservoir analogy and oilfield empirical formulas. The reservoir analogy method theoretically requires that the assessed reservoir and the analogous reservoir be geographically adjacent and have similar sedimentary environments, lithology, fluids, reservoir properties, development methods, and well patterns. However, in practice, it is difficult to find completely similar reservoirs, necessitating adjustments to development indicators based on expert experience and analogy, thus introducing a degree of subjectivity. The empirical formula method currently mainly draws on empirical methods for predicting development indicators in onshore oilfields. It considers three quantifiable factors—fluid properties, reservoir properties, and well density—based on development methods and lithological differences to predict development indicators. However, it lacks sufficient consideration of qualitative aspects such as sedimentary basins, oil-bearing strata, and sedimentary facies. Currently, a systematic classification and prediction method for development indicators of offshore water-driven sandstone reservoirs has not yet been developed for the target pre-exploration, exploration evaluation, and reserve evaluation stages. Therefore, a systematic reservoir classification method is needed for offshore water-driven sandstone reservoirs. Based on this, through big data analysis of offshore producing reservoirs, a comprehensive development index classification and prediction method should be developed that considers multiple factors such as sedimentary basins, oil-bearing strata, sedimentary facies, fluid characteristics, reservoir properties, and well density. This will improve the reliability of development index predictions for offshore water-driven sandstone reservoirs in the target pre-exploration, exploration evaluation, and reserve evaluation stages, and provide a reliable basis for the preliminary economic evaluation of offshore water-driven reservoir development projects. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a classification and prediction method for development indicators of offshore water-driven sandstone reservoirs. This method is applicable to offshore sandstone reservoirs that are developed using water injection and pressure maintenance before the formal development plan research is initiated (target pre-exploration, exploration evaluation, and reserve evaluation stages).
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a method for classifying and predicting development indicators of offshore water-driven sandstone oil reservoirs, comprising:

Based on the classification results of producing water-driven sandstone reservoirs in Step 1 and the production profile of primary well networks for different types of producing water-driven sandstone reservoirs, calculate the decline characteristic parameters of different types of reservoirs.
[0009] Step 5: Statistically analyze the static geological parameters of the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone oil reservoirs, and determine the type of the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone oil reservoirs based on the principles in Step 1.
[0010] Step 6: Based on the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir type obtained in Step 5, calculate the average well-controlled reserves of the same type of offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir in production. Calculate the required number of development wells and the reasonable well density based on the average well-controlled reserves and the geological reserves of the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir.
[0011] Step 7: Based on the reasonable well network density and static parameters of the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir in Step 6, select the recovery rate prediction model of the same type as the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir from Step 2 to calculate the recovery rate of the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir;
[0012] Step 8: Select the peak oil recovery rate evaluation chart from Step 3 that is the same type as the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir as the basis for calculating the peak oil recovery rate of the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir;
[0013] Step 9: Based on the decline characteristic parameters of different types of offshore water-driven sandstone reservoirs in Step 4, select the reservoir decline characteristic parameters that are the same as the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir type as the decline characteristic parameters of the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir.
[0014] Step 10: Based on the decline characteristic parameters of the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir in Step 9, the recovery rate of the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir in Step 7, and the peak production rate of the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir in Step 8, iteratively calculate the annual oil production profile of the newly discovered offshore water-driven sandstone reservoir.

[0017] 2. The method of the present invention avoids the shortcomings of conventional analogy methods in prediction, which are affected by subjective experience, and empirical formula methods, which do not adequately consider qualitative factors such as sedimentary basins, oil-bearing strata, and sedimentary facies, thus improving the rationality and reliability of the prediction.

Crude oil viscosity refers to the viscosity of crude oil under formation conditions. Reservoirs with a viscosity greater than 50 mPa·s under formation conditions are classified as heavy oil, while those with a viscosity less than 50 mPa·s are classified as medium-low viscosity crude oil. Similarly, reservoirs with a permeability less than 50 mD are classified as low-permeability reservoirs, while those with a permeability greater than 50 mD are classified as medium-high permeability reservoirs.
