Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of oil and gas field development, and in particular relates to a design method for improving the recovery rate of a tight oil horizontal well by washing oil and storing energy and expanding the capacity. Background Art

[0002] The development of tight oil horizontal wells in Jilin Oilfield is based on volume fracturing. In the later stage, the main method is depletion. The initial production is high, but the stable production capacity is poor and the production decreases rapidly. After 14-31 months of self-flowing, the pumping is carried out. The liquid production decreases by 25%-30% in the first year after the stable production period, and the oil production decreases by 15%-16%. The dynamic liquid level drops (wells below 1000m account for 43%), the daily oil production decreases (wells below 3t account for 25%), and the formation is empty (flowback rate is 244%). The energy replenishment opportunity of the existing technology is mainly concentrated after the horizontal well fracturing is completed and exhausted for a period of time, that is, in the middle and late stages of the horizontal well life cycle, energy is replenished by injecting water or gas. The effective permeability of the reservoir is low, the average pore throat radius is below 500nm, the movable fluid saturation is low, and the liquid systems such as guar gum, slick water, and conventional surfactants used for fracturing are all micron-sized, which makes it difficult to effectively enter the matrix pores. The injection start-up pressure of small pores is high, and the reservoir migration capacity is poor. Therefore, how to combine the physical properties of tight oil reservoirs, how to wash out the crude oil in the micropores and carry it out of the well, and how to maximize the overall effect of tight oil layers have become the key and difficulty of improving the recovery rate of horizontal wells in tight oil reservoirs.

[0003] At present, the commonly used methods for improving the recovery rate of tight oil horizontal wells are mainly based on water injection, CO2 injection, and fracturing injection. The main principle is to increase the energy of the formation, and to achieve the purpose of increasing oil by realizing the dialysis replacement of the reservoir matrix through long-term well shut-in, which has achieved certain results overall. Water injection and CO2 injection storage are mainly based on the original fracture space, and the treatment target has not been further expanded; the natural dialysis replacement with water and CO2 as the medium has poor replacement effect and efficiency, and the oil-increasing capacity is insufficient; water injection and CO2 storage based on single well or multi-well asynchronous are mainly based on the original fracture channel and space, which is easy to form invalid circulation channels, and the ultimate recovery rate is limited. Simply fracturing "A fracturing method for replenishing formation energy in tight oil reservoirs" can further expand the swept volume, but for tight oil horizontal wells with severe depletion, a large amount of liquid is needed to replenish the energy of the original reservoir. Early injection by fracturing has been shown in field applications to be mainly focused on the expansion and filling of original fractures, and it is difficult to open new fractures and further expand the swept volume. Under the premise of achieving the basic goal of achieving an original formation pressure of more than 1.0 for energy storage, the liquid consumption is high and the cost is high, and the effect of improving recovery rate and economic benefits are poor.

[0004] Based on this, it is urgent to study a method based on a three-dimensional well network to improve the dialysis capacity of horizontal wells, increase reservoir energy, and further increase the transformation volume to control decline, extend the stable production period, and improve the recovery rate. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to make up for the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention is based on the integrated technology of oil washing, energy storage and capacity expansion, with the goal of further improving the matrix dialysis replacement capacity and further increasing the transformation volume of the target well. For tight oil horizontal wells that lack effective energy supplementation, the well throughput method is adopted to effectively improve the recovery rate. A design method. The main body adopts a 0.3-0.5% high-concentration nano-permeability non-ionic surfactant system to effectively enter the basic pores and roar channels of the tight oil reservoir, increase the number of capillaries by reducing the oil-water interfacial tension, and improve the matrix dialysis replacement capacity; a 0.05-0.1% low-concentration nano-permeability non-ionic surfactant system is used for energy supplementation, and the reservoir energy supplement is completed with a low-cost system, which effectively improves the oil washing capacity in the original volume fracturing cracks while achieving energy supplementation; a 0.1-0.3% medium-concentration nano-permeability non-ionic surfactant system is used to temporarily plug the diverted fracturing, and the transformation volume of the reservoir is further increased on the basis of the original volume fracturing transformation, and the high-efficiency surfactant system is used to further expand the swept volume, so as to achieve the effect of improving the recovery rate of tight oil horizontal well throughput. At the same time, this method can be applied to a single well, and can also be carried out simultaneously in multiple wells such as parent and child wells. On the basis of the above effects, effective interference of multiple wells can be achieved, and on the basis of the above effects, the displacement effect of multiple wells can be achieved.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a design method for improving oil recovery by washing oil, storing energy and expanding capacity of tight oil horizontal wells. In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a tight oil horizontal well throughput development method based on a single well and a three-dimensional well pattern, wherein the method comprises:

[0007] S1 Optimize the nano-surfactant system suitable for the matrix pores and pore size of the target tight oil horizontal well, with the principle of "enter, wash, go far, and flow out", based on the dialysis, oil washing, and surface tension evaluation experiments of the target well core and oil products, determine the use range of different concentrations of the nano-surfactant system; Based on the characteristics of the tight oil horizontal wells in Jilin Oilfield, from the distribution relationship between the core pore radius and the throat radius of different permeabilities, the diameter of the liquid system should be as small as possible. 54nm; The liquid system has a good oil washing efficiency and a good effect on improving wettability; The liquid system has a good ability to resist formation core adsorption, and the effective ingredients can play a role at the oil-water interface as much as possible; The mixture of the liquid system and crude oil should be able to smoothly pass through the throat and flow out;

[0008] The parameters of the S2 oil wash plug are designed to inject a certain volume of high-concentration nanosurfactant system. This step increases the number of capillaries by reducing the oil-water interfacial tension, improves the dialysis replacement capacity of the energy storage front matrix, and realizes partial energy storage function at the same time;

[0011] Q1: amount used in the oil washing stage; Q0: cumulative oil production, t; Ρ0: crude oil density, g / cm 3 ; B0: crude oil volume coefficient; Q 累产 : Cumulative liquid production of a single well, t; Q 压裂液 : Fracturing fluid injection volume, m 3 ; B w : Volume coefficient of water, 1.001 (constant); δ: Oil washing front coefficient, 0.33-0.5;

[0012] (2) Injection speed design:

[0013] CMG software was used to simulate and analyze the changes in injection volume and pressure during oil washing, energy storage and expansion based on historical matching. In the oil washing stage, as the injection rate increased, the injection time decreased, but the total injection volume increased slightly. A simulation study of well shut-in after energy storage at different injection rates was carried out. The formation pressure did not change much before and after well shut-in. The maximum injection rate was used without opening the reservoir.

[0014] The S3 energy storage segment plug parameter design injects a large amount of low-concentration nano-surfactant system for energy replenishment, which effectively improves the oil washing capacity in the original volume of fracturing fractures while achieving energy replenishment. The dosage design principle is based on the reservoir liquid deficit, and at the same time ensures that the reservoir pressure is ≥ the original formation pressure after the injection is completed;

[0018] (2) Injection speed design:

[0019] CMG software was used to simulate and analyze the injection volume and pressure changes of oil washing, energy storage and expansion based on historical matching. A simulation study of well shut-in after energy storage at different injection rates was conducted. With the increase of injection rate, the bottom hole pressure change before and after well shut-in increased. The simulation study of expansion after low-displacement energy storage showed that the higher the injection rate, the less total time required to reach the target pressure; the pressure diffusion range was not much different at different injection rates, but the lower the injection rate, the more uniform the formation pressure distribution; considering the construction period comprehensively, the energy storage displacement was preferably a moderate displacement;

[0020] The parameters of the S4 expansion segment plug are designed to inject a certain volume of medium-concentration nano-surfactant system in the form of temporary plugging and sand fracturing, further increasing the reservoir reconstruction volume on the basis of the original volume fracturing reconstruction, and further expanding the swept volume with a high-efficiency surfactant system;

[0021] Combined with the reservoir geological characteristics and adjacent well characteristics of the target well, the fracture length and height range of the target well during the expansion phase are determined. Combined with the on-site well conditions, the fracturing technology and materials are determined, and the injection volume, injection speed and sand addition amount during the expansion phase are determined using PT software;

[0022] The S5 well soaking time design injects a certain volume of medium-concentration nano-surfactant system by temporarily plugging and switching to sand fracturing. On the basis of the original volume fracturing stimulation, the reservoir stimulation volume is further increased, and the swept volume is further expanded with the efficient surfactant system.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The advantage of the present invention is that through the combination of oil washing, energy storage and capacity expansion, the secondary transformation and production increase of the exhausted tight oil horizontal wells can be achieved, thereby improving the recovery rate of the tight oil horizontal wells. The surfactant system required by the invention can enter the nano-matrix pores of the tight oil to achieve efficient oil washing; the effective recovery of reservoir energy and the dialysis replacement under the surfactant system can be achieved in the energy storage segment plug; in the capacity expansion stage, the transformation volume of the tight oil horizontal wells is further expanded by using the method of efficient temporary plugging and diverting fracturing (sand fracturing); in the later stage, the recovery rate of the tight oil horizontal wells can be improved through a reasonable well soaking and oil production system. The invention has been tested on 8 wells in the Honggang and Qian'an tight oil blocks of Jilin Oilfield, and has achieved good application results, showing obvious effects of increasing fluid and oil, and has high practicality.
