AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for evaluating the productivity of low-permeability reservoirs are not applicable to high-salinity reservoirs and cannot effectively account for the impact of salt dissolution and crystallization on productivity, resulting in poor development outcomes.
A productivity evaluation model for high-salt reservoirs was constructed. Sensitivity experiments and non-Darcy flow experiments were conducted using sample cores. Relationship equations between salt dissolution and crystallization and permeability, as well as stress and permeability, were established. Combined with pressure distribution models and single-well productivity formulas, the effects of salt dissolution and crystallization, stress sensitivity, and starting pressure gradient were quantitatively analyzed.
It improves the accuracy and sensitivity of productivity assessment for high-salinity oil reservoirs, enabling more accurate prediction of productivity changes and guiding development strategies for high-salinity oil reservoirs.
