Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of oil and gas field development, and in particular relates to a method for evaluating connectivity between gas reservoir well groups. Background Art
[0002] Carbonate gas reservoirs in my country feature diverse pore structures, significant differences in physical properties, and strong heterogeneity. This leads to complex interwell connectivity within these reservoirs, resulting in increasingly complex reservoir pressure system distributions. Accurate assessment of interwell connectivity within these reservoirs is crucial for determining reserve utilization, optimizing well patterns and locations, and formulating development technology policies. It represents a core technical challenge that urgently needs to be addressed. Current methods for analyzing interwell connectivity within gas reservoirs can be categorized into two main types, static and dynamic, depending on the data used. Static methods include analysis of geological characteristics, fluid composition differences, and original formation pressure. These methods primarily integrate a variety of geological and testing data, including seismic inversion, well logging interpretation, drilling coring, and fluid sampling, to delineate reservoir sedimentary and flow units, clarify reservoir pressure distribution, and reveal interwell connectivity. While static methods offer a relatively simple analysis process and a wide range of applicability, including those applicable to oil and gas reservoirs, they require high data and geological information, are primarily qualitative, and thus struggle to quantitatively assess interwell connectivity. Dynamic methods are often based on production and monitoring data such as production volume and high-precision pressure, combined with a small number of geological parameters. By fitting and analyzing changes in dynamic data, they evaluate interwell connectivity. These methods are primarily divided into well testing analysis (such as pressure buildup testing and well-to-well interference testing) and production dynamic analysis.
[0003] However, the pressure buildup well test method relies on high-precision pressure monitoring data, resulting in a time-consuming and costly testing process and relatively poor applicability. Production dynamic analysis methods suffer from low accuracy and unclear connectivity indicators. Therefore, inter-well conductivity is introduced to account for crossflow between well groups. By deforming the material balance equation for gas reservoirs with replenishment, a mathematical model for multi-well group material balance calculation is established. Successive substitution and Newton-Raphson nonlinear iterative algorithms are used to solve the model. Combined with a particle swarm algorithm, formation pressure is fitted, and dynamic control reserves and inter-well conductivity are inverted. This results in a method for evaluating gas reservoir well / well group connectivity. The accuracy of the model is confirmed by comparison with multiple gas reservoir numerical simulation examples. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a method for evaluating connectivity between well groups in gas reservoirs. This method addresses the shortcomings of dynamic methods in studying inter-well interference or inter-well connectivity. By introducing inter-well conductivity to account for crossflow, the present invention modifies the material balance equation for gas reservoirs with replenishment, establishes a mathematical model for calculating multi-well group material balances, and employs successive substitution and Newton-Raphson nonlinear iterative algorithms to solve the model. Combined with a particle swarm optimization algorithm, the method fits formation pressure and inverts dynamically controlled reserves and inter-well conductivity, resulting in a method for evaluating connectivity between wells and well groups in gas reservoirs.

It assumes that a possible solution is a particle. Each particle can be regarded as an individual in the D-dimensional search space. The current position of the particle is a candidate solution to the corresponding optimization problem. The optimal solution searched by each particle individually is called the individual extreme value.

Through continuous iterative search calculation, the speed and position of each particle are updated until the optimal solution that meets the termination condition is obtained. Then, for the jth particle, the update formulas (19) and (20) of the particle speed and position are:

By introducing the conductivity between well groups to consider inter-well crossflow, the material balance equation of a gas reservoir with replenishment is deformed to establish a mathematical model for material balance calculation of multiple well groups. The model is solved using successive substitution and Newton-Raphson nonlinear iterative algorithms. Combined with the particle swarm algorithm, the formation pressure is fitted, and the dynamic control reserves and inter-well conductivity are inverted to form a method for evaluating the connectivity of gas reservoir wells / well groups.

[0119] Example 2
[0120] This embodiment relates to a method for evaluating connectivity between gas reservoir well groups, and its application in an example oil reservoir is as follows:
[0121] Based on the method described in Example 1, a numerical simulation model with two gas wells was established. Figure 4 As shown in Figure 1, the area where well P1 is located is defined as Zone 1, and the area where well P2 is located is defined as Zone 2. For the base scenario, it is assumed that the two gas wells have the same controlled area and reserves. A region with different permeabilities exists between the two blocks to characterize seepage channels with different connectivity and conductivity. The specific model parameter design is shown in Table 1.
[0122] Table 1
[0123]
[0124] According to the numerical simulation model established above, the cumulative gas production and formation pressure data of P1 and P2 wells were obtained. According to modern production decline analysis and conductivity calculation methods, the initial geological reserves of the two areas before fitting were determined to be 10×10 8 m 3 The conductivity of the two intervals is 8mD·m, which is used as the initial input parameter to fit the formation pressure ( Figure 5(a)), the geological reserves and conductivity of the two zones were obtained by inversion, and the cumulative gas supply of the two zones was calculated and compared with the numerical simulation results ( Figure 5 (b)). In the actual production process, since the gas production of P2 gas well is higher than that of P1 well, the formation pressure of area 2 is lower than that of area 1, which causes gas supply from area 1 to area 2. The single well controlled reserves continue to increase and exceed the initial value. Figure 5 As can be seen in (a), if the recharge between the two intervals is not considered, the calculated gas reservoir reserves in area 1 will be too high, while those in area 2 will be too low. Using the model established in this paper, the formation pressure can be predicted more accurately.
[0125] In addition, the calculation results show that the geological reserves and conductivity inversion values of Area 1 and Area 2 are 11×10 8 m 3 , 26.5mD·m, the errors between them and the actual values are 1.0% and 2.1%, which are relatively small, confirming the accuracy of the inversion results. Figure 5 It can be found in (b) that the calculated results of the interval gas supply volume are completely consistent with the actual values.
[0126] The present invention addresses the shortcomings of the dynamic method in studying inter-well interference or inter-well connectivity. By introducing the conductivity between well groups to consider inter-well crossflow, the material balance equation of a gas reservoir with replenishment is deformed to establish a mathematical model for material balance calculation of multiple well groups. The model is solved using successive substitution and Newton-Raphson nonlinear iterative algorithms. Combined with the particle swarm algorithm, the formation pressure is fitted, and the dynamic control reserves and inter-well conductivity are inverted to form a method for evaluating the connectivity of gas reservoir wells / well groups.

It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art may make various variations or modifications within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the essence of the present invention.
