TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a method and device for predicting the productivity of gravity gas drive in a thick sandstone reservoir, a medium and equipment, and belongs to the field of oil and gas field development and recovery evaluation. BACKGROUND
[0002] Due to the special oil displacement characteristics of gas, the gas flooding enhanced oil recovery method has been paid more and more attention by major oilfields. Compared with water flooding, gas can enter the pores that water cannot reach under a certain pressure, which can effectively improve the oil displacement efficiency. The conventional gas drive development methods include continuous gas injection (CGI) and water alternating gas (WAG), but due to the adverse gas-oil mobility ratio, both methods have the phenomenon of gas channeling caused by gas overlap in the application process, which is particularly obvious in thick sandstone reservoirs, seriously affecting the development effect, so the key to the success of gas drive is to control gas channeling and expand the swept volume. Gravity gas drive (GAGD) is a new gas flooding enhanced oil recovery method. Its principle is to use the density difference between oil and gas to overcome the limitations of CGI and WAG. The thicker the reservoir, the more obvious the gravity overlap phenomenon, and GAGD uses the overlap of gas to form a secondary gas cap at the top of the reservoir, which gradually presses down and replaces the pore space initially occupied by oil, promoting oil to be displaced into the horizontal production well by gravity. Studies have shown that compared with traditional gas drive methods, gravity gas drive in thick sandstone reservoirs can achieve higher productivity.
[0003] The current mathematical model for predicting the productivity of gravity gas drive still has certain limitations, mainly ignoring the micro oil displacement mechanism of gravity gas drive, that is, considering that the productivity contribution of gravity gas drive mainly comes from the macro oil displacement mechanism - expanding the swept volume, and the micro oil displacement mechanism - oil film flow has a smaller contribution to the productivity. However, in actual application, it is found that gravity gas drive still has great oil production capacity even after gas breakthrough, because at this time gas channeling has been formed, the effect of expanding the swept volume is weak, and therefore the main oil displacement mechanism is oil film flow. When the spreading coefficient is greater than 0, the oil phase can spread between the gas and the pore medium to form an oil film that acts as a drainage path, and under the action of gas and gravity, the remaining oil is produced by relying on oil film flow. Therefore, when predicting the productivity of gravity gas drive, oil film flow is an important factor that must be considered. In summary, there is still a lack of a calculation method for accurately predicting the productivity of gravity gas drive in thick sandstone reservoirs, which is a problem that needs to be solved for efficient development of gravity gas drive in thick sandstone reservoirs.

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the present application is described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0043] The mathematical model for predicting the productivity of gravity gas drive still has certain limitations, mainly showing that the micro oil displacement mechanism of gravity gas drive is ignored, that is, it is considered that the productivity contribution of gravity gas drive mainly comes from the macro oil displacement mechanism, that is, the expansion of swept volume, and the micro oil displacement mechanism, that is, oil film flow, has smaller contribution to the productivity. However, it is found in actual application that gravity gas drive still has great oil production capacity even after gas breakthrough, because the effect of expanding sweep is weak due to the formation of gas channeling, and therefore the oil film flow plays a main oil displacement role. When the spreading coefficient is greater than 0, the oil phase can spread between the gas and the pore medium to form an oil film acting as a drainage path, and under the action of gas and gravity, the remaining oil is produced by relying on the oil film flow. Therefore, when predicting the productivity of gravity gas drive, the oil film flow is an important factor that must be considered. At present, there is still a lack of a calculation method for accurately predicting the productivity of gravity gas drive in a thick sandstone reservoir. In order to solve this problem, the present application provides a method for predicting the productivity of gravity gas drive in a thick sandstone reservoir, which is based on the Dietz model of gas drive oil in an inclined gas cap reservoir, combines the Jeffreys oil film volume calculation equation, the material balance equation, the Kozeny formula and the oil and gas J function, considers the influence of oil film flow on the productivity of gravity gas drive in a thick sandstone reservoir, establishes a mathematical model for predicting the productivity of gravity gas drive in a thick sandstone reservoir, and realizes fine calculation of data by writing a calculation process, and finally completes the actual production application.
[0044] As shown in Figure 1 The method for predicting the productivity of gravity gas drive in a thick sandstone reservoir provided by the present application comprises the following steps:
[0045] 1) The construction of the prediction calculation method is based on the following basic assumptions: the existence of reservoir heterogeneity and fractures is not considered, the permeability distribution is uniform; the thickness of the oil layer is constant; the displacement mode is piston displacement; the compressibility of rock and fluid and the influence of oil and gas capillary force are ignored; the gas is injected from the top of the oil layer, and the oil and gas vertically reach equilibrium at any time, that is, the forces and velocities of each point on the oil and gas interface are the same.
[0046] 2) Based on the Dietz model of gas drive oil in an inclined gas cap reservoir, the entire reservoir is divided into an unsaturated zone and a saturated zone in the vertical direction with the gas-oil displacement front as the boundary, the volumes of remaining oil, residual oil and oil film in the two zones are analyzed and calculated, the material balance relationship is established based on the material balance equation and the Jeffreys equation, and Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the Dietz model of gas drive oil in an inclined gas cap reservoir, and the establishment process of the material balance relationship is as follows:
[0047] According to the assumed conditions, gas is injected into the oil layer from the top, and oil and gas reach vertical instantaneous equilibrium, and the oil and gas interface is stable at any time, i.e. the forces and speeds of each point at the oil and gas interface are the same. The total displacement volume in the gravity gas displacement process is denoted as V t The displacement swept area is divided into a saturated area V s and an unsaturated area V us . The saturated area is an unswept area, and the unsaturated area is a swept area. The unsaturated area is divided into a remaining oil volume V r and an oil film volume V f。 . According to the material balance relationship, there are:
[0048] V t = V s + V us (1)
[0049] V us = V r + V f (2)
[0050] Assuming that the initial oil saturation and the residual oil saturation are S oi and S or , respectively, there are:
[0051] V s = S oi φA(L-z d ) (3)
[0052] V r = S or φAz d (4)
[0053] V t = S oi φAL (5)
[0054] The volume of the oil film phase can be estimated by Jeffreys equation, i.e.:
[0055]
[0056] By combining equations (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), and (6), there are:
[0057]
[0058] In equations (3)-(7), L is the reservoir thickness, m; z d is the oil and gas front migration distance, m; A is the oil-bearing area of the reservoir, m 2 ; b is the oil film width, m; t is the displacement time, d; S or and S oiSor and Soi are residual oil saturation and initial oil saturation, respectively, %; p g ρg is gas density, kg / m 3 ; μg is gas viscosity, mPa·s; g is gravity acceleration, m / s g ; φ is porosity, dimensionless; Δρ is oil-gas density difference, kg / m 2 ; μ is oil phase viscosity, mPa·s. 3 ; φ is porosity, dimensionless; Δρ is oil-gas density difference, kg / m o ; μ is oil phase viscosity, mPa·s.
[0059] 3) Based on the material balance relationship and Darcy's law established in step 2), the mathematical relationship between the seepage velocity of the oil phase in the saturated area and the fluid properties, reservoir parameters, oil-gas front migration distance, and displacement time is derived, and a mathematical model 1 for predicting the productivity of the giant thick sandstone reservoir under gravity gas drive is established. The establishment process of the model is as follows:
[0060] The Darcy's law velocity of the saturated area is:
[0061]
[0062] Deriving equation (8) with respect to time gives:
[0063]
[0064] Substituting equation (9) into equation (8) gives:
[0065]
[0066] According to Darcy's law, the seepage velocity of the oil phase in the saturated area under the action of gravity is:
[0067]
[0068] Substituting equation (11) into equation (10) gives:
[0069]
[0070] In equations (8)-(12), v o is the oil phase seepage velocity, m 3 / h; v s is the Darcy's law velocity of the saturated area, m 3 ·s -1 / m 2 ; k is the absolute permeability, mD; k rg is the relative permeability of the gas phase, dimensionless; k ro is the relative permeability of the oil phase, dimensionless; α is the reservoir dip angle, rad; p o is the oil phase pressure, MPa; ρ o is the oil density, kg / m 3 ; μ owhere v is the oil viscosity, mPa-s; z is the oil-gas interfacial migration distance, m.
[0071] 4) Combined with Kozeny formula and oil-gas J function, a mathematical model 2 for predicting the productivity of gravity gas drive in thick sandstone reservoirs was established; each physical parameter in the mathematical model was dimensionless processed to obtain dimensionless mathematical models 1 and 2, and the establishment process of the model was as follows:
[0072] The J function formula between the oil phase and the gas phase is:
[0073]
[0074] Combined with formula (11) and formula (13), we have:
[0075]
[0076] In formula (14), p
[0077] In formula (13) and formula (14), p c is the displacement pressure, MPa; p g is the gas phase pressure, MPa; S g is the gas phase saturation, %; σ is the interfacial tension, mN / m; S o is the oil phase saturation, %; f(S g ) is the flow fraction equation; J(S o )' is the derivative of J function; J(S o ) is the J function.
[0078] The width of the oil film is b, and according to the Kozeny formula, we have:
[0079]
[0080] The oil saturation at any time is:
[0081]
[0082] By combining formula (1), formula (3), formula (4), formula (5) and formula (6), we have:
[0083]
[0084]
[0085] Taking the derivative of formula (17) with respect to the migration distance and substituting formula (14), we have:
[0086]
[0087] Substituting formula (19) into formula (12), we have:
[0088]
[0089] F in formula (15)-(20) s is the correction factor of Kozeny formula, dimensionless.
[0090] In order to simplify the expression, dimensionless number T D and Z D are introduced, i.e.
[0091]
[0092]
[0093] Substitute formula (21) and formula (22) into formula (18) and (20), and arrange to get the dimensionless form of mathematical model 1 and 2:
[0094]
[0095]
[0096] In the formula, T D , Z D are dimensionless time and dimensionless migration distance respectively; K is absolute permeability, mD; K ro is the relative permeability of oil phase, dimensionless; M is the mobility ratio of oil and gas, dimensionless; is porosity, %; R is recovery, %; t D is dimensionless displacement time, dimensionless.
[0097] 5) Write the calculation process of the model: take a small increment (such as 0.001) from 0 for time, substitute it into mathematical model 2 established in step 4) to calculate the downward pushing distance increment of the saturation and unsaturated zone limit, i.e. the increment of oil and gas front migration distance, take this as the initial value, and calculate the unsaturated limit at different displacement times through continuous iteration; substitute the calculated unsaturated limit at different displacement times into mathematical model 1 established in step 3) to calculate the gravity gas drive productivity of the thick sandstone reservoir at any time. The specific process is as follows:
[0098] The calculation method of the model: take 0 for the initial value of time and the initial value of unsaturated limit, take a small value (such as 0.001) for time increment△t D , substitute formula (25) into formula (23) and (26) to calculate the unsaturated limit at the first time step:
[0099] t Dold = t Dold +△t D (25)
[0100] Z Dnew = ZDnew + ΔZ D (26)
[0101]
[0102] In formula (25)-(27), t Dold is dimensionless displacement time, dimensionless; Z Dnew is dimensionless oil-gas interface migration distance, dimensionless.
[0103] The initial value of the second time step and the unsaturated limit initial value take the calculation result of the first time step, the time increment is unchanged, and the unsaturated limit of the second time step is calculated. In this way, the unsaturated limit of each time step is calculated by using the method of continuous iteration. The saturation limit of each time step is substituted into formula (24) to calculate the productivity of each time step. The time step is taken as the horizontal coordinate, and the productivity corresponding to each time step is taken as the vertical coordinate to draw the productivity curve. The values of some parameters need to be specially explained during calculation. For the reservoir without measured oil and gas J function, formula (27) is the Corey function, which can be used to replace the J function, and the correction factor F s of the Kozeny formula s This parameter is difficult to define, and the value is usually 0.5; for the reservoir with partial production data, F s can take the initial value 0.5 for calculation. If the error between the calculation result and the actual result is greater than the set value, the value of F s is optimized and recalculated, and the best F s value is obtained by iteration.
[0104] The prediction method of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with specific application examples.
[0105] The method of the present application is described by taking a terrestrial thick glutenite reservoir natural core experiment as an example. The reservoir lithology is mainly fine sandstone, followed by siltstone and medium sandstone, and the bottom is conglomerate and gravel-containing sandstone. The rock types are mainly quartz sandstone and feldspar quartz sandstone. The reservoir space is mainly secondary pore, followed by primary pore, the pore throat diameter is 0.2-24 μm, and the average pore throat radius is 3-4 μm, which is a medium-low porosity and low permeability reservoir. Full-diameter natural cores of the reservoir are selected for gravity gas drive experiment to verify the calculation method proposed by the present application.
[0106] 1. Experimental method
[0107] The experimental model needs to be long enough to meet the experimental requirements. The length of a natural full-diameter core is often insufficient. Therefore, a core splicing method is required to create a longer experimental core. In this experiment, the core end faces are ground smooth to ensure that the fluoropolymer sleeve will not break due to surface irregularities during the confining pressure process. Three layers of filter paper are placed between the contacting core ends to effectively reduce the end-face effect caused by capillary forces, resulting in more accurate experimental results. A 60cm long experimental model was obtained through this core splicing method.
[0108] Before conducting the experiment, follow the instructions in the appendix. Figure 4 The experimental procedure is shown below. First, the assembled core is loaded. Due to the length and weight of the core, it is easy to break during loading. Therefore, a combination of support rings and tie rods is used for loading the core, effectively protecting the pressure measurement points and preventing the core assembly from bending. To facilitate loading, the core assembly is loaded into the cylinder from the outside. To address the influence of displacement pressure and temperature changes on the tightness of the core assembly, a three-axis piston structure is installed at one end of the device, which clamps the core according to changes in axial pressure. After loading, the airtightness of the device is checked.
[0109] After the airtightness test was completed, the core was saturated with fluid. First, the core was evacuated, then saturated with water. Due to the large size of the model, conventional self-absorption saturation methods are prone to insufficient saturation, affecting subsequent experiments. In this study, self-absorption saturation was performed for 24 hours, followed by water flooding at a rate of 1 mL / min. The injected and produced volumes were recorded, and water injection was stopped when the produced water reached 1000 mL. The porosity of the experimental model was calculated by combining the self-absorption volume, the injected volume, and the produced water volume.
[0110] Calculate permeability. After saturation with water, permeability is measured on the core sample. Different injection rates are selected to measure the pressure values when the system pressure is stable. These values are plotted on the same coordinate system, and the slope is calculated. The numerical conversion relationship between the slope and permeability is calculated using Darcy's formula to obtain an accurate water-measured permeability value.
[0111] When saturating the oil, first saturate at a low speed of 0.1 mL / min. After the injected pore volume reaches 0.7 PV, increase the saturation speed to 1 mL / min. The purpose of this is to allow the oil phase to enter the small pores better, thereby ensuring high oil saturation and low bound water saturation.
[0112] After saturation with oil, the core samples were aged in a constant temperature environment of 90℃ for 24 hours. Following aging, gravity gas drive was performed at a 10° inclination angle and an extremely low gas injection rate (0.01 mL / min). During the experiment, both confining pressure and back pressure were monitored by an automatic tracking pump to ensure system pressure stability. The experiment was stopped once gas was observed at the outlet. The fluid parameters used in the verification experiment are shown in Table 1.
[0113] 2. Experimental results and calculation model verification
[0114] The oil and gas J function in the calculation model proposed by the present application is difficult to obtain through displacement core experiments, so the Corey type function is selected for the J function, and the results are shown in the attached Figure 5 The selection of the correction factor of the Kozeny formula in the calculation model is difficult to define, and the present application selects the value as 0.5 and 1, respectively calculates the model calculation values in the two cases, and compares with the actual experimental data, and the comparison of the model calculation results with the actual experimental data is shown in the attached Figure 6 .
[0115] Table 1 Verification of experimental fluid parameters
[0116]
[0117] Correction factor F of Kozeny formula s The size has a great influence on the prediction results. F s Affects the size of the oil film effect, F s The greater, the greater the width of the oil film, the stronger the role it plays. Therefore, F s When the value is larger, the prediction of the model is more ideal, that is, the reason for the error is related to the selection of the parameters, including the corresponding J function and F s The value, etc. The selection of these parameters restricts the accuracy of the model calculation results. Under the conditions of the J function and F s The value given in this section, the calculation method proposed by the present application has certain differences in predicting the recovery rate of each time step of the actual experimental results, but the error is within 10%, which basically meets the requirements, that is, the reliability of the gravity gas drive productivity calculation method for thick sandstone reservoirs provided by the present application is verified.
[0118] The second aspect of the present application provides a gravity gas drive productivity prediction device for a thick sandstone reservoir, comprising:
