Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oilfield gas injection development and discloses a multi-level adjustable stratified gas injection quantitative control method. Background Technology
[0002] Gas injection development can significantly improve reservoir recovery, especially for low-permeability reservoirs. Pilot gas injection development trials have been conducted in some offshore oilfields in China. However, for multi-layered reservoirs with significant differences in inter-layer properties, indiscriminate gas injection can lead to gas channeling, affecting the development efficiency and damaging production facilities such as ESPs (Electric Submersible Pumps). Therefore, layered gas injection and refined development play a crucial role in improving oilfield recovery.
[0003] The existing gas injection development method has the following main shortcomings:
[0004] Layered gas injection control requires wireline operation to retrieve and deploy gas nozzles, which has low measurement and adjustment efficiency and high operating costs. Offshore oilfield platforms have limited operating space, and wireline operation to replace gas nozzles occupies the wellhead and affects the operation of other wells. Wireline operation is only suitable for gas injection wells with an inclination of less than 65°, and is not suitable for wells with high inclination or horizontal wells with segmented gas injection.
[0005] The nozzles used in stratified gas injection are of fixed size, resulting in poor matching with the reservoir injection volume. Adjustment is generally done in two ways: one is real-time adjustment based on downhole flow rate testing. However, current downhole stratified flow rate testing technology for gas wells is not yet mature, and a single testing method is insufficient to meet the needs of offshore oilfield gas injection wells with a wide flow range (10). 3 ~10 5 One method involves allocating gas volume roughly based on a single factor such as the gas distribution volume of each layer or formation pressure (Nm3 / d). However, downhole gas injection is highly sensitive to changes in temperature and pressure, resulting in insufficient accuracy in gas distribution. Similarly, obtaining the actual gas injection volume after layered injection control also suffers from the problem of unreliable testing accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a multi-level adjustable stratified gas injection quantitative control method, which can achieve precise adjustment and control of stratified gas injection.

[0094] Step S502: Calculate the gas injection flow rate of the first gas injection layer. For the current nozzle position of the first layer injector, combine Equations 9 and 10 to obtain the gas injection flow rate q1 of the first gas injection layer.
[0095] Step S503: Calculate the gas injection flow rate of other gas injection layers, wherein steps S501 and S502 are repeated to calculate the gas injection flow rates q2, q3, ..., q of the second, third, ..., Nth gas injection layers. N ,remember
[0096] Step S504: Comprehensive splitting to eliminate calculation errors, wherein the actual gas injection flow rate of each layer is:
[0097]
[0098] Step S505: Calculate the gas injection volume of each layer under other injection pressures and temperatures. If the wellhead is injected with gas at pressure P′ and temperature T′, repeat steps S501 to S504 to obtain the gas injection volume of each layer under pressure P′ and temperature T′.
[0099] The multi-level adjustable layered gas injection quantitative control method 100 of this invention can adjust the size of the gas nozzle of the downhole injector in real time on the ground. From the design of the gas nozzle size before entering the well to the control of the gas nozzle size and the interpretation of the layered gas injection volume in the well, the entire process is carried out through quantitative calculation, thereby achieving precise matching of the gas injection volume of the injection layer.
