Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oilfield development technology, and in particular to a method for recovering extra-heavy oil. Background Technology
[0002] Heavy oil resources are abundant, accounting for over 70% of the world's total oil reserves, and have enormous development potential. Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAD) technology for vertical and horizontal wells is an important heavy oil extraction technology: vertical wells are arranged on both sides of a horizontal well, with the perforations in the vertical well slightly higher than those in the horizontal well. Steam is injected into the vertical well, while production occurs in the horizontal well. By establishing thermal connectivity between the vertical and horizontal wells, a drainage channel is formed, allowing crude oil to be extracted from the horizontal well. In the initial development stage, the reservoir needs to be preheated, and a steam chamber needs to be constructed to establish thermal connectivity; this stage is crucial for the success of SAD technology.
[0003] Steam injection preheating can reduce reservoir pressure, improve steam efficiency, provide a certain production capacity, and reduce preheating costs, making it the main preheating method in the development of steam-assisted drainage technology. Extra-heavy oil reservoirs have high crude oil viscosity (>50000 mPa·s), making viscosity reduction difficult. Conventional steam injection provides limited heat, and the steam wave radius is small, making it impossible to achieve overall reservoir preheating in a short time. This makes the formation of drainage channels difficult, and the development process faces two main problems: First, the steam heating range is limited; the conventional steam injection heating radius is only about 20 meters. Due to viscosity, the drainage radius is further reduced, making efficient development impossible with conventional steam injection. Second, the effective period is short; due to limited steam injection volume and high heat loss, the development cycle of conventional injection is only 2 to 3 months. Frequent turnover increases operating costs and heat loss during operation. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the preheating method, expand the preheating radius, improve the preheating effect, shorten the preheating time, reduce the input-output ratio, and improve the development effect.

[0077] Step S1: Collect basic data on the research block and determine the type of crack;
[0078] Step S2: Calculate the reservoir fracture pressure and establish steam injection parameter limits;

[0083] Step S7: Predict the development effect of the super-fracture pressure huff and puff to steam-assisted gravity drainage technology and determine the recovery rate of the study block.
[0084] Example 1
[0085] This invention takes a block in Oilfield A as an example to conduct simulation and prediction of the development of super-fracture pressure huff and puff to steam-assisted drainage technology, including the following steps:
[0086] Step 1: Collect basic data on the research block, including an area of 16.3 km². 2 Controlled reserves of 3762.3·10 4The reservoir has a burial depth of 450–610 m, an effective thickness of 5–10 m, a porosity of 20.2%–27%, and a permeability of 152–863 mD. It is dominated by thick conglomerate and sandstone conglomerate layers, which are stable and continuous. The overall structure is a monocline with a northwest-southeast gradient, dissected by internal secondary faults, forming multiple fault blocks. The strata dip angle is 8°–10°, the median grain size is 0.11–0.38 mm, the average is 0.28 mm, the sorting coefficient is 1.31–1.82, the average is 1.48, the crude oil viscosity at 80℃ is 7801–32561 mPa·s, and the crude oil density at 20℃ is 0.9732–0.9876 t / m³. 3 The vertical stress σ Z =0.015MPam is less than the horizontal stress σ H =0.022 MPa, therefore the target reservoir will form horizontal fractures, such as Figure 2 As shown;
[0087] Step 2: The fracture pressure constant α is selected as 0.45. The fracture pressure of the study block is calculated to be 9.385 MPa. Based on the bottom hole pressure calculation, the steam injection rate needs to be above 163.7 t / d to achieve reservoir rock fracture.
[0088] Step 3: The effective reservoir thickness is set at 8m, the steam injection rate is 8000 kg / h, the enthalpy of injected steam is 429 kcal / kg, and the reservoir heat capacity is 544 kcal / (m³). 3 With an initial formation temperature of 30℃ and a fracture steam injection correction factor of 1.23, the calculated steam injection heating radius for vertical wells is 28.15m and for horizontal wells is 24.93m. A numerical reservoir was established using numerical simulation software, and the reservoir porosity and permeability within the injected fluid-affected area were corrected to obtain a simulated reservoir considering reservoir plastic deformation.
[0089] Step 4: Utilize numerical simulation methods, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the well network consists of 3 vertical wells and 2 horizontal wells, with the vertical wells located in the middle of the horizontal wells. The optimized design has a horizontal well length of 200 meters, and the vertical wells are located at 1 / 4, 1 / 2 and 3 / 4 of the length of the horizontal wells, respectively. The horizontal distance between the vertical wells and the horizontal wells is 35 meters, and the vertical height difference is 3 meters.
[0090] Step 5: Optimize the calculation of over-fracture pressure injection parameters using numerical simulation. Five wells adopt integrated injection, with a steam injection ratio of 2:1 between horizontal and vertical wells. The cycle steam injection volume for horizontal wells is 3000t, and for vertical wells it is 1500t. The steam injection rate for horizontal wells is 300t / d, and for vertical wells it is 150t / d. The bottom hole steam dryness should be above 0.7. The expected oil production for the first cycle of steam injection is 2176t, with an oil-steam ratio of 0.39 and a recovery rate of 2.27%.
[0091] Step 6: Optimize the parameters of the steam-assisted oil draining technology, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the timing of switching to steam-assisted oil drainage technology is three cycles. Effective thermal communication is achieved between vertical and horizontal wells. During the steam-assisted oil drainage technology stage, the steam injection dryness is maintained above 0.7. The initial stage is the process of forming a steam chamber in the injection well, with a small production-injection ratio (<1). The transition stage is the process of establishing pressure balance between injection and production wells, with a large production-injection ratio (>1.4). The stable stage is characterized by stable development, with a daily steam injection rate of 57.6 t / d (28.8 t / d per well), a daily liquid production of approximately 74.9 t / d (37.4 t / d per well), and a production-injection ratio of approximately 1.3.
[0092] Step 7: Predict the development effect of super-fracture pressure huff and puff to steam-assisted drainage technology in the study block. Three cycles of super-fracture pressure huff and puff resulted in a recovery rate of 6.36%. Five years of steam-assisted drainage technology development resulted in a recovery rate of 14.5%. The final recovery rate of the study block was 20.84%, with a cumulative oil-steam ratio of 0.19.
[0093] Example 2
[0094] This invention takes a block in Oilfield B as an example to conduct simulation and prediction of the development of super-fracture pressure huff and puff to steam-assisted drainage technology, including the following steps:
[0095] Step 1: Collect basic data on the research block, including an area of 13.1 km². 2 Controlled reserves of 2762.3·10 4 The reservoir has a burial depth of 890–900 m, an effective thickness of 8–12 m, a porosity of 19.8%–24%, and a permeability of 1032–2561 mD. It is stable, well-continuous, and generally exhibits a monocline structure with a southwest-high and northeast-low gradient. The strata dip angle is 2°–3°, the median grain size is 0.13–0.28 mm, the average is 0.21 mm, the sorting coefficient is 1.34–1.77, the average is 1.44, and the crude oil viscosity at 80℃ is 6841–26588 mPa·s, with a vertical stress σ... Z =0.027 MPaam is less than the horizontal stress σ H =0.023 MPa, the target reservoir will form vertical fractures, such as Figure 3 As shown;
[0096] Step 2: The fracture pressure constant α is selected as 0.45. The fracture pressure of the study block is calculated to be 13.05 MPa. Based on the bottom hole pressure calculation, the steam injection rate needs to be above 358.8 t / d to achieve reservoir rock fracture.
[0097] Step 3: The effective reservoir thickness is set at 10m, the steam injection rate is 16000 kg / h, the enthalpy of injected steam is 429 kcal / kg, and the reservoir heat capacity is 578 kcal / (m³). 3With an initial formation temperature of 56℃ and a fracture steam injection correction factor of 1.15, the calculated steam injection heating radius for vertical wells is 38.56m and for horizontal wells is 31.77m. A numerical reservoir was established using numerical simulation software, and the reservoir porosity and permeability within the injected fluid-affected area were corrected to obtain a simulated reservoir considering reservoir plastic deformation.
[0098] Step 4: Utilize numerical simulation methods, such as... Figure 6 As shown, there is a well network of 6 vertical wells and 1 horizontal well, with the vertical wells located on both sides of the horizontal well. The horizontal well is 300 meters long in the optimized design. The vertical wells are located at the heel, toe, and middle of the horizontal well, with a horizontal distance of 45 meters from the horizontal well and a vertical height difference of 3 meters.
[0099] Step 5: Optimize the calculation of over-fracture pressure injection parameters using numerical simulation. Seven wells adopt overall injection, with a steam injection ratio of 3:1 between horizontal and vertical wells. The cycle steam injection volume for horizontal wells is 6000t, and for vertical wells it is 2000t. The steam injection rate for horizontal wells is 800t / d, and for vertical wells it is 400t / d. The bottom hole steam dryness should be above 0.7. The expected oil production for the first cycle of steam injection is 8136t, with an oil-steam ratio of 0.45 and a recovery rate of 2.33%.
[0100] Step 6: Optimize the parameters of the steam-assisted drainage technology. The timing for switching to steam-assisted drainage technology is 5 cycles. Effective thermal connection is achieved between vertical and horizontal wells. During the steam-assisted drainage technology stage, the steam injection dryness is maintained above 0.8. In the initial stage, the steam injection well is in the process of forming a steam chamber, and the production-injection ratio is small (<1). In the transition stage, the pressure balance is established between the injection and production wells, and the production-injection ratio is large (>1.4). In the stable stage, the development is stable, with a daily steam injection rate of 216t / d (36t / d per well), a daily liquid production of approximately 241.9t / d (241.9t / d per well), and a production-injection ratio of approximately 1.12.
[0101] Step 7: Predict the development effect of super-fracture pressure huff and puff to steam-assisted drainage technology in the study block. Five cycles of super-fracture pressure huff and puff resulted in an recovery rate of 8.21%. Five years of steam-assisted drainage technology development resulted in an recovery rate of 17.12%. The final recovery rate of the study block was 25.33%, with a cumulative oil-steam ratio of 0.16.
[0102] Beneficial effects: By rationally arranging the well network, well locations, and parameters of vertical and horizontal wells, and optimizing the calculation of huff and puff parameters during the super-fracture pressure huff and puff process and injection and production parameters during the steam-assisted drainage technology process, the recovery rate of the study block can be calculated. This invention can effectively improve the recovery rate of extra-heavy oil reservoirs. The development of steam-assisted drainage technology after super-fracture pressure huff and puff forms a process method for improving the recovery rate of extra-heavy oil.
