Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas extraction technology, and in particular to a multi-stage well test analysis system and method for horizontal wells containing burrowing reservoirs. Background Technology

[0002] This section is intended to provide background or context for the embodiments of the invention set forth in the claims. The description herein is not an admission that it is prior art simply because it is included in this section.

[0003] Horizontal well testing analysis offers advantages such as convenient testing and low cost. The interpretation results effectively reflect the formation properties near the wellbore and the production situation in the horizontal section, making it a powerful monitoring tool for analyzing horizontal well conditions and reservoir development effectiveness. High-permeability layers, also known as "thief layers," refer to reservoir sections with significantly higher permeability than the surrounding rock, causing uneven production during development. Thief layers have different geological origins, such as differential compaction-dissolution fractures, dissolution cavities, bioturbation, differential sedimentation, and diagenesis in different environments. Compared to low-energy sedimentary surrounding rocks, high-energy sediments have better pore connectivity and higher permeability, resulting in significantly higher production during development. During development, the high production in thief layers leads to uneven reservoir utilization, negatively impacting water injection development. Injected water advances rapidly along the "thief layer," preventing effective displacement of oil and gas from the surrounding rock, while high-yield wells experience premature water breakthrough or water flooding, resulting in ineffective water circulation. For horizontal wells, due to well trajectory control issues, the actual well trajectory is not a straight horizontal line but rather an inclined trajectory with a certain degree of tortuosity. When the completion section crosses a "thief's layer," the producing section will concentrate in the "thief's layer," leading to rapid water flooding of the production well and poor development results. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new method for multi-stage well testing analysis of horizontal wells in reservoirs containing thief's layers.

[0004] Several technologies have been developed to address the problem of uneven fluid production in horizontal wells. These include diagnostic methods for the oil (gas) production location of multi-stage fractured horizontal wells, and analytical control systems and methods for identifying segmented fluid production in horizontal wells. The latter proposes an analytical solution for pressure changes in multi-stage fluid-producing horizontal wells, and uses this expression to conduct well test interpretation and fluid production segment identification. Existing technologies also provide a pressure monitoring method for determining the water inflow direction in non-uniform fluid-producing horizontal wells. By designing interference well tests between non-uniform fluid-producing horizontal wells and surrounding water injection wells in an injection-production well network of vertical wells and horizontal wells, the connectivity between wells can be determined, and the water inflow direction can be identified. However, these methods mainly focus on well testing and fail to utilize reservoir dynamic data and monitoring information. Furthermore, these reservoirs are based on the fundamental assumption of homogeneity, neglecting the strong heterogeneity and the presence of "thieves" (or "black spots") in reservoirs. Currently, there is no multi-stage well test analysis scheme applicable to multi-stage horizontal wells containing "thieves." Summary of the Invention

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0038] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a multi-stage well test analysis method for horizontal wells in reservoirs containing burrowing formations, as described in an embodiment of the present invention, including:

[0039] Step 101: Obtain the well test pressure derivative curve of the horizontal well containing the burrowing reservoir;

[0040] Step 102: Based on whether the horizontal well trajectory passes through the burrowing layer, classify and interpret the well test pressure derivative curve to obtain the physical property parameters of the formation surrounding the horizontal well.

[0041] Step 103: Discretize the horizontal well completion section into multiple independent production units, wherein each production unit follows the horizontal well flow equation and boundary conditions;

[0042] Step 104: Under the constraints of the physical property parameters, the production volume of the discrete production units is inverted, and the well test pressure derivative curve formed by the combination of each production unit is fitted with the measured well test pressure derivative curve multiple times until the fitting degree reaches the preset fitting value.

[0043] Step 105: Determine the production and injection profile of the horizontal well based on the combination of production units corresponding to the well test pressure derivative curve;

[0044] Step 106: Conduct interference well test interpretations on each injection well in the well group containing the horizontal well to determine the water inflow direction of the production well.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, compared with the prior art which does not consider the case of the thief layer, the solution provided by this embodiment of the invention realizes multi-stage well test analysis for horizontal wells in reservoirs containing thief layers. During the analysis process, the well test pressure derivative curve is classified and interpreted according to whether the horizontal well trajectory passes through the thief layer, and the physical property parameters of the formation around the horizontal well are obtained. Then, under the constraint of the physical property parameters, the production volume of discrete production units is inverted to obtain the well test pressure derivative curve formed by the combination of each production unit with a fitting degree reaching the preset fitting value. Thus, the production injection profile and water inflow direction of the horizontal well can be accurately determined.

[0046] In step 101, the well test pressure derivative curve of the horizontal well containing the burrowing reservoir is obtained. To improve the accuracy of the obtained well test pressure derivative curve, it is also necessary to diagnose the pressure derivative curve. In one embodiment, after obtaining the well test pressure derivative curve of the horizontal well containing the burrowing reservoir, the following steps are also included:

[0047] First, analyze the anomalies in the well test pressure derivative curves of horizontal wells in reservoirs containing burrowing layers, and eliminate well test pressure derivative curves containing interference sources. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of excluding well test pressure derivative curves containing interference sources in an embodiment of the present invention. (See attached diagram) Figure 2 The determined well test pressure derivative curve containing interference sources is divided into the wellbore storage stage and the linear flow stage.

[0048] Second, well pressure derivative curves of wells whose well test curve quality distortion exceeds a preset threshold are excluded. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the distorted well test pressure derivative curve in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the pressure derivative data points are scattered, the curve is severely distorted, and the semi-logarithmic curve indicates that the main source of interference is the wellbore.

[0049] In step 102, the well test pressure derivative curve is classified and interpreted according to whether the horizontal well trajectory passes through the burrowing layer, and the physical property parameters of the formation around the horizontal well are obtained.

[0050] In one embodiment, the well test pressure derivative curve is classified and interpreted according to whether the horizontal well trajectory passes through a burrowing formation, and the physical property parameters of the formation surrounding the horizontal well are obtained, including:

[0051] For horizontal wells whose trajectories cross the strata of a predetermined scale, a line segment with a pressure derivative slope of 1 / 2 is selected as the linear flow stage. The first well test interpretation model is used for well test interpretation to obtain the physical properties of the formation surrounding the horizontal well. The first well test interpretation model is a homogeneous model. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a homogeneous model in an embodiment of the present invention, in which the horizontal well trajectory passes through the thief layer.

[0052] For horizontal wells whose overall trajectory lies above or below high-permeability layers, a line segment with a pressure derivative slope of 1 / 4 is selected as the linear flow stage. The second well test interpretation model is used to interpret the flow and obtain the physical properties of the formation surrounding the horizontal well. The second well test interpretation model is a numerical model. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a numerical model in an embodiment of the present invention. In this model, the horizontal well trajectory is located above or below a high-permeability layer.

[0053] In one embodiment, the physical properties of the formation surrounding the horizontal well include one or any combination of the following: wellbore reservoir coefficient, skin coefficient, formation permeability, vertical permeability, horizontal permeability, effective length of the horizontal well, and investigation radius.

[0054] In one embodiment, the first well test interpretation model is a homogeneous model, and the second well test interpretation model is a numerical model.

[0055] In one embodiment, after obtaining the physical properties of the formation surrounding the horizontal well, the method further includes:

[0056] Forward modeling of the physical properties of the formation surrounding the horizontal well was performed. Based on the saturation monitoring results of the adjacent well zone, the accuracy of the flow field distribution of the well test interpretation model was verified to meet the preset precision.

[0057] If not, re-interpret the well test pressure derivative curves until the accuracy of the flow field distribution in the well test interpretation model reaches the preset precision.

[0058] In step 103, the horizontal well completion section is discretized into multiple independent production units, wherein each production unit follows the horizontal well flow equation and boundary conditions; Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the discrete completion section of a horizontal well in an embodiment of the present invention, which ultimately yields multiple independent fluid production units.

[0059] In step 104, under the constraints of the physical property parameters, the production volume of the discrete production units is inverted, and the well test pressure derivative curve formed by the combination of each production unit is fitted with the measured well test pressure derivative curve multiple times until the fitting degree reaches the preset fitting value.

[0060] In step 105, the production and injection profile of the horizontal well is determined based on the combination of production units corresponding to the well test pressure derivative curve;

[0061] In step 106, interference well testing is performed sequentially on the injection wells in the well group where the horizontal well is located to determine the direction of water inflow to the production well.

[0062] The following example, using a heterogeneous carbonate reservoir in an oilfield, illustrates the specific application of the method proposed in this invention. This reservoir has a burrowing layer at the top, exhibiting extreme differences in vertical physical properties, with a permeability difference of 8.9. Figure 7 This is a permeability statistics diagram of various layers in the reservoir in this embodiment of the invention. The reservoir is produced using a horizontal well network of injection and production wells. Some of the horizontal wells, acting as production wells, have traversed the burrowing layer. After water injection development, the production wells quickly reached water, resulting in a short waterless production period and an average water cut of over 70%. Figure 8 This is a production dynamic curve diagram of production well 1116H in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0063] Water inflow direction analysis was performed on one production well (1116H) and eight surrounding wells in the reservoir. Part of the horizontal section of this well crosses a burrowing layer. Analysis of the well test pressure derivative curve morphology showed that the overall quality of the curve was good, but inter-well interference was observed at the end. Figure 9 The pressure derivative curve of production well 1116H in this embodiment of the invention has an overall slope of 1 / 2, which conforms to the characteristics of linear flow. The physical property parameters obtained by classifying and interpreting the pressure derivative curves are shown in Table 1.

[0064] Table 1

[0065]

[0066] Inversion of physical properties revealed an average flow rate of 1338 bbl / d during the well test and start-up phase. Well 1116H had two main producing sections: 25% at the root and 75% at the toe of the horizontal well (see Table 2). The well trajectory showed that the horizontal well passed through a high-permeability layer, and the location of this high-permeability section coincided with the high-production location analyzed during the well test. Figure 10 This is the inversion result of the production unit of production well 1116H in this embodiment of the invention.

[0067] Table 2

[0068] Location 1 (m) 26.91 Length 1 (m) 165.2 Traffic volume 1 (bbl / d) 335 Location 2 (m) 263.51 Length 2 (m) 203.19 Flow rate 2 (bbl / d) 1003

[0069] Finally, interference tests were conducted sequentially on the injection wells within the well group containing production well 1116H to determine the direction of water inflow to the production well. Comparison revealed that the test signal from injection well 1125H, directly opposite production well 1116H, exhibited interference with changes in the operating regime of production well 1116H. Figures 11-12 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the interpretation of interference testing of water injection wells within the well group where production well 1116H is located, in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the well group where production well 1116H was subjected to interference testing. Figure 12 The diagram shows the interference test of production well 1116H and injection well 1125H. It indicates that the water inflow direction of production well 1116H is the same as that of injection well 1125H. The injected water mainly enters the tail section along the burial layer, causing the oil well to be rapidly flooded.

[0070] In summary, the method described in this invention clarifies the relationship between the reservoir well test curve response characteristics and the reservoir flow field by comprehensively considering production dynamics, reservoir flow field, and well test interpretation. Regarding flow field understanding, it inverts the incoming water direction to achieve multi-stage well test analysis of horizontal wells in reservoirs containing burrowing layers. The method is flexible in operation, less affected by subjective factors, and can be used for the processing and research of various reservoirs containing burrowing layers and various horizontal well networks.
