Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas reservoir engineering technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for determining water intrusion in gas reservoirs. Background Technology

[0002] Methods for calculating water intrusion in gas reservoirs have evolved from the material balance theory and mainly include the following: ① Unsteady-state method, namely the Van Everdingen-Hurst method, which assumes that formation water flows radially in a plane, the gas-water boundary pressure is constant, and the formation is homogeneous and of uniform thickness. A dimensionless method for calculating water intrusion is derived through the seepage differential equation. ② Quasi-steady-state material balance method, a semi-analytical method, treats the gas zone as an "enlarged well" and water intrusion as a single-phase flow from the water body to the "enlarged well." Water intrusion is calculated by applying parameters such as the gas zone radius, water zone radius, effective rock compressibility coefficient of the water zone, and formation properties of the water zone. ③ Apparent geological reserves method, which derives the apparent geological reserves of the gas reservoir based on the material balance equation of the water-driven gas reservoir. The equation relating apparent geological reserves to actual geological reserves shows that the difference between apparent geological reserves and actual geological reserves is related to the water intrusion of the gas reservoir. By plotting the curve relating apparent geological reserves to gas production, the water intrusion of the gas reservoir can be calculated. The calculation requires parameters such as the effective compressibility coefficient of rock and the compressibility coefficient of formation water. ④ The polynomial mass balance method is a mathematical fitting method. This method uses mathematical means to transform the mass balance equation into a polynomial equation. By applying parameters such as the effective compressibility coefficient of rock and the compressibility coefficient of formation water to fit the coefficients of the polynomial equation, the water intrusion is finally calculated. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The inventors discovered that the above-mentioned commonly used methods for calculating water intrusion in gas reservoirs play a crucial role in the scientific development of edge-and-bottom water gas reservoirs and the stable production of gas fields. However, they all have certain limitations: ① Each method has certain assumptions and applicable ranges, and can only be used to calculate water intrusion under specific assumptions; ② Static parameters of the water area are difficult to obtain accurately. The parameters required for water intrusion calculation, such as the formation properties, geometry, and size of the water area, are usually derived through assumptions or inferences, resulting in significant uncertainty; ③ Dynamic data of the study area are difficult to obtain accurately. The dynamic parameters required for water intrusion calculation, such as the water intrusion constant, effective rock compressibility coefficient, and formation pressure, have certain errors compared to the actual situation. Moreover, it is impossible to shut down wells to test formation pressure at any time during actual gas field production; ④ The water intrusion calculation equations are complex and cumbersome, requiring a large amount of manpower and resources, and the results are highly uncertain; ⑤ Human subjective factors affect the accuracy of the calculation. Steps such as manually identifying charts and selecting regression points cause significant errors in the fitting results.

[0004] In order to at least partially solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the inventors made this invention, which provides a method and apparatus for determining the water intrusion of a gas reservoir through specific embodiments. The method calculates the water intrusion of a gas reservoir based on pore volume.

Unless otherwise stated, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0027] To address the limitations of existing water intrusion calculation methods, difficulties in accurately obtaining parameters, complex calculation processes, and large errors in calculation results, this invention provides a method and apparatus for determining water intrusion in gas reservoirs. This method is relatively simple and fast, requires fewer parameters, has fewer subjective human factors, can calculate water intrusion in gas reservoirs more accurately, reduces uncertainties in the water intrusion calculation process, and has a wide range of applications.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a method for determining the water intrusion of a gas reservoir, the process of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0030] Step S11: Determine the original gas-water interface of the gas reservoir, the gas-water interface at a set time, and the water saturation distribution data.

[0031] (1) Determination of the original gas-water interface of the gas reservoir.

[0032] Determining the original gas-water interface of a gas reservoir can begin by obtaining resistivity curves, logging data, and test analysis data from wells drilled through the gas reservoir.

[0033] If a well drilled through a gas reservoir has neither logging data nor test analysis data, the resistivity curve in the gas reservoir will show a descending step, and the size of the step will reach a set scale. The depth at the boundary where the resistivity difference between shallow and deep reservoirs appears will be determined as the original gas-water boundary depth of the gas reservoir at that well. If a well drilled through a gas reservoir has logging and / or test analysis data, the original gas-water boundary depth of the gas reservoir at that well can be directly obtained based on the logging and / or test analysis data. Alternatively, the original gas-water boundary depth of the gas reservoir at that well can be determined by combining the resistivity curve, logging and test analysis data, and geological understanding.

[0034] After obtaining the original gas-water boundary depth at each well, the original gas-water interface of the gas reservoir is determined by comprehensively considering the original gas-water boundary depths of each well. The original gas-water interface is a horizontal plane, so it is sufficient to determine a uniform original gas-water boundary depth.

[0035] (2) Determination of the gas-water interface at the set time of the gas reservoir.

[0036] This can include establishing a gas-water two-phase interpretation model using well logging data of fluid density, water holdup, temperature, and pressure from gas production wells at a set time, to obtain the gas-water interface depth at the production wells; and applying a set interpolation algorithm to obtain the gas-water interface at a set time from the gas-water interface depths at each production well. The dynamic gas-water interface is no longer a plane but a curved surface; the gas-water interface distribution data obtained after interpolating the gas-water interface depths of each well is used as the gas-water interface.

[0037] Specifically, an interpolation algorithm can be set, such as the Kriging interpolation algorithm.

[0038] After obtaining the depth distribution data of the gas-water interface, a depth contour map of the gas-water interface can also be drawn.

[0039] (3) Determination of water saturation distribution data at a given time in the gas reservoir.

[0040] This can include calculating the water saturation of the gas reservoir at the production wells using the formation capture section curve in the saturation logging data at a set time; and applying a set interpolation algorithm to obtain the water saturation distribution data of the gas reservoir at a set time from the water saturation at each production well.

[0041] The interpolation algorithm can be either Kriging interpolation or other interpolation algorithms.

[0042] See Table 1 for the saturation logging interpretation results of well X-1:

[0043] Table 1. Saturation logging interpretation results of Well X-1

[0044]

[0045] Step S12: Using the water saturation distribution data at a set time and the three-dimensional geological model of the gas reservoir, obtain a dynamic model that includes the porosity field and the water saturation field at a set time.

[0046] This can include using data such as seismic, tectonic, stratigraphic, and well logging data to establish a three-dimensional geological network model of the gas reservoir, and using Gaussian sequential simulation stochastic algorithm to establish a dynamic model that includes the porosity field and the water saturation field at a set time using water saturation distribution data at a set time and the three-dimensional geological model of the gas reservoir.

[0047] Step S13: Based on the lower limit of the effective porosity of the gas reservoir, select effective grids from the grids located between the original gas-water interface and the gas-water interface at a set time in the dynamic model.

[0048] The lower limit of the effective porosity of a gas reservoir can be obtained through comprehensive geological understanding.

[0049] Step S14: For each effective grid, determine the water intrusion amount based on the grid's volume, porosity, and water saturation at a set time. The water intrusion amount of the gas reservoir at the set time is obtained from the water intrusion amount of each grid.

[0050] Based on the mesh volume, porosity, and water saturation at a given time, the water intrusion rate of the mesh at a given time is determined using the following formula:

[0051] W i =V i *φ i *S w =a i *b i *h i *φ i *S w

[0052] In the above formula, W i V represents the water intrusion amount at a given time for grid i. i and φ i a represents the volume and porosity of grid i, respectively. i b i and h i S represents the length, width, and height of grid i, respectively. w Let be the water saturation of grid i at a given time.

[0053] The method for determining water intrusion in gas reservoirs provided in Embodiment 1 of this invention determines the original gas-water interface, the gas-water interface at a set time, and the water saturation distribution data of the gas reservoir, obtaining a dynamic model including the porosity field and the water saturation field at the set time. Based on the lower limit of effective porosity, effective grids are selected from the grids located between the original gas-water interface and the gas-water interface at the set time in the dynamic model. The water intrusion of each grid is calculated based on the grid volume, porosity, and water saturation at the set time, thus obtaining the water intrusion of the gas reservoir at the set time. This method utilizes three-dimensional geological modeling tools to calculate the water intrusion of the gas reservoir based on pore volume. The calculation process is fast and convenient, with universal operability; it has a wide range of applications, requiring no assumptions or the creation of manual maps, and has high calculation accuracy, applicable to any type of gas reservoir; it provides a basis for the formulation of reasonable production allocation for single wells and reasonable production rates for gas reservoirs.

[0054] The static parameters required for the calculation mainly include the original gas-water interface and a three-dimensional geological model (including the porosity field), which can be predicted through refined three-dimensional geological modeling, especially the static parameters between wells, which are more reliable. The required dynamic data is minimal, mainly consisting of gas-water interface and water saturation distribution data at a set time point. These data are readily available and relatively reliable; for example, the gas-water interface at a set time point can be determined through historical gas production profile test data, reducing the impact of data uncertainty on the calculation results. Therefore, this method requires fewer parameters and involves fewer subjective human factors, allowing for more accurate calculation of water intrusion in gas reservoirs and reducing uncertainties in the water intrusion calculation process.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides an application example of a method for determining water intrusion in a gas reservoir.

[0057] The XX gas reservoir, located within the Kelasu structural belt of the Tarim Basin, is a blocky, bottom-water dry gas reservoir in a faulted anticline discovered in 1998, characterized by abnormally high pressure and normal temperature. Development began in 2004, with a design target of water breakthrough in 2025 and a designed stable production period of 17 years. However, water breakthrough actually occurred in 2008, with an actual stable production period of only 3 years. The actual production differed significantly from the design, and the premature water breakthrough severely impacted the reservoir's recovery rate. By 2022, a total of 247 dynamic well tests and 194 production logging operations had been conducted on the entire reservoir, yielding abundant dynamic data that provides a foundation for a comprehensive understanding of water intrusion characteristics and patterns. The method provided in Example 1 of this invention for calculating the water intrusion volume of the XX gas reservoir is relatively accurate, consistent with previous dynamic assessments, and shows a high degree of agreement with actual conditions. The calculation results provide support for development strategies and engineering measures such as drainage, water control, and water shut-off.

[0062] The water intrusion calculation module 24 is used to determine the water intrusion amount for each effective grid based on the grid's volume, porosity, and water saturation at the time, and to obtain the water intrusion amount of the gas reservoir at the time from the water intrusion amount of each grid.

[0068] By using the fluid density, water holdup, temperature, and pressure logging curves from the gas production profile logging data of the gas reservoir at a set time, a gas-water two-phase interpretation model is established to obtain the gas-water boundary depth of the gas reservoir at the production well. By applying a set interpolation algorithm, the gas-water interface of the gas reservoir at that time is obtained from the gas-water boundary depth of the gas reservoir at each production well.

[0069] In some embodiments, the basic data determination module 21 determines the water saturation distribution data of the gas reservoir at a set time, specifically for:

[0070] The water saturation of the gas reservoir at the production wells is calculated using the formation capture section curve in the saturation logging data at a set time. Then, using a predefined interpolation algorithm, the water saturation distribution data of the gas reservoir at each production well is obtained.

[0071] In some embodiments, the dynamic model building module 22 is specifically used for:

[0072] Using the water saturation distribution data at the specified time and the three-dimensional geological model of the gas reservoir, a dynamic model including the porosity field and the water saturation field at the specified time is established using a Gaussian sequential simulation stochastic algorithm.

[0073] In some embodiments, the water intrusion calculation module 24 determines the water intrusion amount based on the volume, porosity, and water saturation at the stated time, specifically for:

[0074] Based on the grid's volume, porosity, and water saturation at the stated time, the water intrusion amount of the grid at that time is determined using the following formula:

[0075] W i =V i *φ i *S w

[0076] In the above formula, W i Let V and φ be the water intrusion at time i. i S represents the volume and porosity of grid i, respectively. w Let be the water saturation of grid i at the given time.

An effective grid screening module is used to screen effective grids from the grids located between the original gas-water interface and the gas-water interface at the time in the dynamic model, based on the lower limit of the effective porosity of the gas reservoir. The water intrusion calculation module is used to determine the water intrusion amount for each effective grid based on the grid's volume, porosity, and water saturation at the specified time. The water intrusion amount of the gas reservoir at the specified time is obtained from the water intrusion amount of each grid. Specifically, determining the water intrusion amount is done using the following formula: ; In the above formula, Let i be the amount of water intrusion at that time. and Let i be the volume and porosity of grid i, respectively. Let be the water saturation of grid i at the given time.
