Description

[0002] With rapid economic development, the global demand for oil and gas energy continues to increase, while conventional oil and gas resources are decreasing. Unconventional oil and gas resources are attracting widespread attention worldwide. Natural gas hydrates are ice-like solid crystals composed of natural gas and water molecules, distributed in seafloor sediments or terrestrial permafrost. Their combustion produces only carbon dioxide and water, without polluting the environment, making them a new type of green energy source.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for collaborative development of gas reservoirs and hydrate reservoirs, referring to Figure 2 As shown, a well group is used for implementation, wherein the well group includes a central well 3 and at least one connecting well 2 arranged around the central well 3; the connecting well 2 and the central well 3 penetrate the hydrate reservoir 7, the cap rock 6 and the sea level 1;

[0049] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0050] S101, running the oil pipe 9 between the hydrate reservoir 7 and the gas reservoir 4;

[0051] In this embodiment, a block with a natural gas hydrate reservoir 7 and an underlying gas reservoir 4 was selected as the intervention area based on the block's geological structure. The thickness of the hydrate reservoir 7 was no less than 15 meters. After the intervention area was selected, an insulated oil pipeline 9 was run between the selected hydrate reservoir 7 and the gas reservoir 4.

[0052] S102, drilling the connecting well 2 through the hydrate reservoir 7 and the oil pipe 9 to a first preset position of the gas reservoir 4, and performing perforations in the hydrate reservoir 7 and the gas reservoir 4 respectively;

[0053] S103, drilling the central well 3 to a second preset position of the hydrate reservoir 7, and performing perforation in the hydrate reservoir 7;

[0054] S104. Reference Figure 2 As shown, a packer 8 is installed in the connecting well 2 at a position corresponding to the bottom of the hydrate reservoir 7, and the connecting well 2 and the central well 3 are used to carry out a first round of constant pressure production to decompose the hydrates in the hydrate reservoir 7 under the action of the pressure difference; wherein, the bottom hole pressure during the first round of constant pressure production is lower than the original pressure of the hydrate reservoir;

[0055] The well group, i.e. the connecting well 2 and the central well 3, adopts constant pressure production. The bottom hole pressure is lower than the original pressure of the hydrate reservoir. Under the action of the pressure difference, the hydrate decomposes and the decomposed natural gas enters the wellbore through the perforations and is produced by the well group (see Figure 2 The direction of natural gas flow in 5).

[0056] S105, during the first round of constant pressure production, monitoring the gas production rates of the connecting well 2 and the central well 3 until the daily gas production of the central well 3 and the connecting well 2 decreases to a first preset gas production rate;

[0057] S106, reference Figure 3 As shown, the packer 8 is installed at a position corresponding to the top of the hydrate reservoir 7 in the connecting well 2, and the central well 3 is used to perform a second round of constant-pressure production, so that the free gas in the gas reservoir 4 can return to the hydrate reservoir 7 along the connecting well 2 under the action of the pressure difference between the hydrate reservoir 7 and the gas reservoir 4, while carrying heat energy to promote the decomposition of the hydrate; wherein, the bottom hole pressure during the second round of constant-pressure production is lower than the original pressure of the hydrate reservoir;

[0058] The packer 8 installed at the bottom of hydrate reservoir 7 is used to separate hydrate reservoir 7 from gas reservoir 4 in the wellbore. The packer 8 installed at the top of hydrate reservoir 7 is used to separate hydrate reservoir 7 from the area above it in the wellbore. After the first round of depressurization development, the reservoir pressure, that is, the pressure of hydrate reservoir 7, decreases. By changing the position of packer 8, a pressure differential can be formed between hydrate reservoir 7 and gas reservoir 4. Under the action of the pressure differential between hydrate reservoir 7 and gas reservoir 4, free gas in gas reservoir 4 can return to hydrate reservoir 7 along connecting well 2, carrying heat energy to promote hydrate decomposition, thereby achieving coordinated development of gas reservoir 4 and hydrate reservoir 7. Natural gas generated by hydrate decomposition and free gas in gas reservoir 4 return to hydrate reservoir 7, enter the wellbore through perforations, and are produced by central well 3.

[0059] S107. During the second round of constant pressure production, the gas production rate of the central well 3 is monitored until the single-well daily gas production of the central well 3 decreases to a second preset gas production, and then production is stopped.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned well group is used to exploit the gas reservoir 4 and hydrate reservoir 7 to be exploited. Depending on the actual conditions of the gas reservoir 4 and hydrate reservoir 7 to be exploited, multiple well groups provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be arranged to jointly exploit the gas reservoir 4 and hydrate reservoir 7 to be exploited, thereby improving the recovery efficiency of the gas reservoir 4 and hydrate reservoir 7.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the connecting wells 2 and the number of the central wells 3 arranged in the above-mentioned well group can be selected according to the actual situation of the gas reservoir 4 and the hydrate reservoir 7 to be mined, as long as the recovery rate of the gas reservoir 4 and the hydrate reservoir 7 can be better improved. In order to better illustrate the well group provided by the embodiment of the present invention, this embodiment is described in detail as follows for the sake of ease of understanding, taking the well group including two connecting wells 2 and one central well 3 as an example: Figure 2As shown, the two connecting wells 2 are arranged around the central well 3. Before mining, three vertical wells are drilled to form a well group consisting of two connecting wells and one central well.

[0062] The present invention designs a well group consisting of a connecting well 2 and a central well 3. The well group is used to first reduce the pressure of the natural gas hydrate reservoir 7 for exploitation. The reservoir pressure is continuously reduced, and the position of the packer 8 in the connecting well 2 is changed. The free gas in the gas reservoir 4 can return to the natural gas hydrate reservoir 7 along the connecting well 2 under the action of the pressure difference, and at the same time carry heat energy to promote the decomposition of the hydrate, thereby realizing the coordinated development of the gas reservoir 4 and the hydrate reservoir 7.

[0063] The method for collaborative development of gas reservoirs and hydrate reservoirs provided in an embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the exploitation of natural gas hydrate reservoirs with underlying gas reservoirs. Through a well group consisting of connecting wells and central wells, the thermal energy of the gas reservoir is used to promote the depressurization and development of production capacity of the natural gas hydrate reservoir. Specifically, a packer is installed in a connecting well at a position corresponding to the bottom of the hydrate reservoir, and a first round of constant-pressure production is carried out on the hydrate reservoir using a well group, namely the connecting well and the central well.

After the first round of production, the position of the packer in the connecting well is changed and the packer is installed at a position corresponding to the top of the hydrate reservoir in the connecting well. A second round of constant-pressure production is carried out using the central well, and the bottomhole pressure during the second round of constant-pressure production is controlled to be lower than the original pressure of the hydrate reservoir. After the first round of pressure reduction production, due to the reduction in the hydrate reservoir pressure, the free gas in the gas reservoir can return to the hydrate reservoir along the connecting well under the action of the pressure difference between the hydrate reservoir and the gas reservoir, while carrying heat energy to promote the decomposition of hydrates, which can significantly increase the gas production rate and hydrate decomposition rate of the gas reservoir, realize the coordinated development of the gas reservoir and the hydrate reservoir, and provide a new technical idea for significantly increasing the production capacity of natural gas hydrate reservoirs.
