AI Technical Summary
In the mid-to-late stages of production, existing natural gas wells experience increased fluid accumulation at the bottom due to low bottom pressure and insufficient gas production capacity, which affects normal production. Furthermore, the intermittent cycle design of the existing intermittent drainage gas production system is unreasonable, resulting in frequent interruptions, excessive pressure loss, and reduced well efficiency.
A novel method based on intelligent intervals is adopted to calculate the bottom hole pressure and pressure recovery curve through mathematical models, determine a reasonable wellhead opening and closing cycle, and combine it with a remote control system for real-time monitoring and adjustment to optimize the gas well production system.
This system achieves both rationality and practicality in wellhead opening and closing, avoids energy waste, and improves the production efficiency and economic benefits of gas wells.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the optimization of a gas well on-site drainage and gas production system, and belongs to the field of natural gas drainage and production. Background Art
[0002] In the middle and late stages of gas well production, due to low bottom hole pressure and gas production, and poor liquid carrying capacity of the gas well, the wellbore liquid accumulation continues to increase, seriously affecting the normal production of the gas well. Some gas wells even stop production due to liquid accumulation. The intermittent drainage and gas production system can realize the opening and closing of wells to ensure the normal and efficient production of gas wells.
[0003] The opening degree of the splicing cycle is basically selected based on the results of the critical liquid carrying method and the field experience method, and there is no reasonable design of the splicing system itself, which leads to problems such as unreasonable splicing cycle, frequent splicing, excessive formation pressure loss, and decreased gas well efficiency. Summary of the invention
[0004] Purpose of the invention: In order to solve the problems of frequent spacing, excessive formation pressure loss, and decreased gas well efficiency caused by an unreasonable gas well spacing system, it is urgently necessary to design a solution with a reasonable spacing system and reasonable formation pressure loss.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a new method for gas well production system based on intelligent spacing, which includes the following steps:
[0006] S100: The bottom hole pressure when the well is opened is obtained according to the binomial production capacity equation, and its formula is: Where p R is the formation pressure (unit: MPa), p wf is the bottom hole flow pressure when the well is opened (unit: MPa), q g is the daily gas production (unit: 10 4 m 3 / d), T is the wellhead temperature (unit: °C), μ is the gas viscosity (unit: mPa·s), Z is the deviation coefficient (unit: dimensionless), K is the formation permeability (unit: mD), h is the reservoir thickness (unit: m), r e is the bottom radius (unit: m), r w is the discharge radius (unit: m), S is the skin coefficient (unit: dimensionless), according to the static pressure equation The theoretical wellhead casing pressure when the well is started is calculated, where p c is the wellhead casing pressure (unit: MPa), γ g is the relative density of gas (unit: dimensionless), H is the wellbore depth (unit: m), and by fitting the actual wellhead casing pressure, the fitting effect is observed to determine whether the relevant parameters are reasonable.
[0007] S200: Substitute the parameters obtained in S100 into the well test pressure recovery equation to obtain the pressure recovery curve, whose equation is: Where P t is the bottom hole pressure when the well is shut in (unit: MPa), P w is the bottom hole flow pressure at the last moment of well opening, which is a constant (unit: MPa), B is the gas volume coefficient, and its expression is (unit: dimensionless), C is the combined elastic coefficient of formation fluid and rock pores (unit: atm -1 ), f is the effective porosity of rock (unit: dimensionless), t is the shut-in time (unit: s), and the meanings and units of other parameters are the same as S100.
[0008] S300: Add up all resistances to get the exciting pressure (i.e. the minimum formation pressure that lifts the bottom hole fluid column to the wellhead), and its equation is P 激动压力 =[P 渗流阻力 +P 液柱压力 +P 油管阻力 +P 井口回压 ], where P 渗流阻力 =f m ×(r e -r w ), where f m is the pipe flow friction coefficient (unit: dimensionless), where P 液柱阻力 =ρgH 液 , where ρ is the fluid density (unit: kg / m 3 ), where P 油管阻力 =H×e / D, where e is the absolute roughness (unit: m), D is the diameter of the oil pipe (unit: m), and P 井口回压 Generally it is a given value on site.
[0009] S400: The excitation pressure obtained in S300 is converted to the wellhead through the static pressure equation in S100, and the pressure recovery curve obtained in S200 is coupled at the same time. The intersection point is the well opening time t 1 , record the pressure change value △P 1 =P t1 -P w , where P t1 is the pressure on the pressure recovery curve t 1 The pressure corresponding to the time, the change value of the pressure drop after the well is opened △P 2 Close to △P 1 The well is shut down at time t 2 , we get t 1 With t 2 That is, the gas well opening period is obtained.

The results are shown in Figure 2 If the fit is successful, it means that the given parameters are reasonable and the relevant parameters can be substituted into the next step.
[0017] Step 2: The bottom flow pressure P at the last moment of well opening w , gas volume coefficient B, comprehensive elastic coefficient C of formation fluid and rock pores, effective porosity f of rock, shut-in time t and related parameters in the first step are substituted into the well test pressure recovery equation The pressure recovery curve is Figure 3 .

By adding the above pressures, the excitation pressure is obtained, that is, P 激动压力 =[P 渗流阻力 +P 液柱压力 +P 油管阻力 +P 井口回压 ].
[0019] Step 4: Substitute the excitement pressure obtained in step 3 into Converted to the wellhead, and coupled with the pressure recovery curve obtained in the second step, the intersection point is the well opening time t 1 , record the pressure change value △P 1 =P t1 -P w , where P t1 is the pressure on the pressure recovery curve t 1 The pressure corresponding to the time, the change value of the pressure drop after the well is opened △P 2 Close to △P 1 The well is shut down at time t 2 , we get t 1 With t 2 That is, the gas well opening period is obtained.
