[0050] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] The reservoir type of Tahe Oilfield is Ordovician carbonate rock with fracture-cave structure and good permeability. The depth of the oil reservoir is mostly around 6000m, which is an ultra-deep heavy oil reservoir. The oil layer temperature is about 140℃, and the formation temperature gradient is 0.02-0.25℃ / m. The heavy oil in Tahe Oilfield has the characteristics of high freezing point, high salt content, wax, colloid, and asphalt. At present, Tahe Oilfield mainly adopts two mining processes: thin oil blending and viscosity reduction and mineral insulated cable heating and viscosity reduction. However, due to the long section of ultra-deep wells, the heat dissipation of the wellbore increases and the temperature decreases during the lifting process of the fluid during mining. It is difficult to ensure that the temperature is maintained above the inflection point temperature of the heavy oil during mining by using these two processes alone, and the accurate prediction of the wellbore temperature field directly affects the consumption of thin oil and electricity in the mine. At present, the commonly used calculation methods of wellbore temperature field mainly focus on the calculation of ordinary wellbore heat transfer coefficient and the analysis of the direct heat transfer process between the wellbore and the formation, but ignore the influence of different wellbore viscosity reduction processes on the wellbore temperature field and the radial heat transfer process of the composite process on the wellbore. Therefore, according to the characteristics of ultra-deep heavy oil wells, it is very important to study the change law of the wellbore temperature field under the composite process and the temperature distribution of the fluid in the wellbore for the design of oil production schemes for Tahe ultra-deep heavy oil wells and other types of oil wells.

[0052] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method for determining the temperature field distribution of the wellbore under a composite process. Through the study of the influence of fluid thermophysical properties such as heavy oil viscosity-temperature characteristics, oil well body structure, composite process combination, reservoir depth temperature on the wellbore temperature change, and the study of operating parameters such as heating power, heating depth, oil pipe and insulation cement depth, the influence of different wellbore viscosity reduction processes on the wellbore temperature field and the influence of composite processes on radial heat transfer between the wellbore and the formation are deeply considered, and a mathematical model and a temperature field calculation method are established. Through more refined wellbore grid division, special well conditions such as ultra-deep and ultra-thick are fully considered, and a method for determining the temperature field distribution of the wellbore under a composite process is formed. This method is aimed at the current situation of fast heat dissipation, high energy consumption, large amount of thin oil blending, and accurate prediction of the wellbore temperature field under a combination of multiple composite processes during the exploitation of ultra-deep heavy oil wells. A numerical calculation method is used to calculate the wellbore temperature change during the heavy oil exploitation process under the composite process, improve the accuracy of temperature field prediction, and achieve the purpose of reducing the amount of thin oil and reducing energy consumption in the mine. The invention comprises: obtaining the wellbore structure, reservoir basic parameters, composite process construction parameters, cable lowering parameters and heating power of the whole wellbore according to the drilling design; accurately meshing the whole wellbore according to the composite process and wellbore structure according to the wellbore structure, cable lowering depth, oil pipe depth and insulation cement depth; analyzing the heat transfer process of the wellbore under the composite process and calculating the heat transfer coefficient of different well sections of the whole wellbore based on the fluid properties, thermophysical parameters and meshing; dividing the wellbore into a single thin oil-added working section and a thin oil-added-insulated heating cable composite working section according to the cable lowering depth and the thin oil-added position, and establishing a wellbore temperature field distribution calculation model in sections according to the heat transfer theory and the law of conservation of energy through the analysis of the radial heat transfer process of the corresponding working sections; and calculating the profile of the wellbore temperature field distribution under the composite process based on the wellbore temperature field distribution calculation model. The invention takes into account the influence of the composite process on the heat transfer process of the whole wellbore, and uses a numerical calculation method to calculate the wellbore temperature change in the process of heavy oil production under the composite process and accurately predict the wellbore temperature, which has guiding significance for the production of ultra-deep heavy oil wells under the composite process.

[0053] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Figure 1 The present invention is a flow chart of a method for determining the temperature field distribution of a wellbore under a composite process, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0055] S1. Based on the wellbore structure data and composite process data of the wellbore, the wellbore is divided into N well sections, and the same well section has the same wellbore structure and composite process, where N is a positive integer; and the heat transfer coefficients of the N well sections are obtained. Specifically, the following steps are included:

[0056] S101. Collection of wellbore related data.

[0057] Take an oil well X in an oil field as an example, which is produced by a composite process of thin oil-insulated cable (2800m of oil pipe + 4000m of thermal insulation cement) and insulated cable + thin oil-added viscosity reduction method:

[0058] According to the drilling design, the wellbore structure of the entire wellbore is obtained, including: drilling times, casing and tubing depths, pumping parameters, and thin oil blending positions. The basic reservoir parameters are obtained, including: oil layer depth, oil layer temperature, cable running parameters, heating power, insulation cement and tubing depth. The basic production parameters include: daily oil production, daily water production, daily thin oil blending amount, thin oil blending temperature, etc. The drilling times are shown in Table 1, the basic reservoir parameters are shown in Table 2, and the basic production data are shown in Table 3.

[0065] S102. Grid division of the wellbore.

[0066] Then, the entire wellbore is precisely gridded according to the wellbore structure, cable running depth, oil pipe (insulated oil pipe) and insulation cement depth. The wellbore is divided into 5 sections according to the wellbore structure and the position of thin oil. The division results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the first composite process section: the ground to the lower deep position of the single-open casing (including oil pipes, insulated cables, annuli, single-open, double-open, triple-open casings and thermal insulation cement), the second composite process section: the lower deep position of the single-open casing to the lower deep position of the insulated cable (including oil pipes, insulated cables, annuli, double-open, triple-open casings and thermal insulation cement), the third composite process section: the lower deep position of the insulated cable to the lower deep position of the double-open casing (including oil pipes, annuli, double-open, triple-open casings and thermal insulation cement), the fourth composite process section: the lower deep position of the double-open casing to the lower deep position of the oil pipe / oil pipe (including oil pipe / oil pipes, annuli, triple-open casing and thermal insulation cement), the fifth composite process section: the lower deep position of the oil pipe / oil pipe to the reservoir position (three-open casing and thermal insulation cement). Figure 2 The sixth section is a heavy oil reservoir.

[0067] The heat exchange process between the mixed liquid in the oil pipe and the formation under the composite process is as follows: Figure 3 , the heat transfer process mainly goes through the following steps:

[0068] (1) When the cable is heated, heat is transferred to the mixture of thin and thick oil in the pipe by thermal convection. This process is limited to the composite working section of the thin oil-mixed and insulated heating cable.

[0069] (2) The mixture of thin and thick oil in the pipe transfers heat to the inner wall of the oil pipe / insulated oil pipe by thermal convection. The degree of convective heat transfer of the mixture in the pipe varies depending on the oil production.

[0070] (3) Heat is transferred from the inner wall of the oil pipe / insulated oil pipe to the outer wall of the oil pipe / insulated oil pipe through heat conduction. This process is affected by the composite process, such as the influence of different insulation materials on heat transfer. The better the insulation effect, the smaller the heat loss.

[0071] (4) Heat is transferred from the outer wall of the oil pipe to the inner wall of the casing through the annulus in the form of heat convection and heat radiation. This process is affected by the dilution ratio. The degree of convective heat transfer varies with the dilution ratio.

[0072] (5) The heat in the casing is transferred from the inner wall of the casing to the outer wall of the casing by heat conduction.

[0073] (6) Heat in the cement sheath / insulating cement is transferred from the outer wall of the casing to the formation through the cement sheath / insulating cement by heat conduction. This process is also affected by the composite process, such as different insulating cementing materials and different insulating cementing depths.

[0074] S103, the wellbore is meshed and the total heat transfer coefficient of the entire wellbore is calculated based on the fluid properties, thermophysical parameters and meshing.

[0075] After the heavy oil and thin oil are mixed, the viscosity and density of the mixed liquid change accordingly as the produced fluid flows in the wellbore due to temperature and a series of complex changes. Before calculating the heat transfer coefficient of the entire wellbore, it is necessary to analyze the influence of the composite process on the heat transfer process of the wellbore based on the fluid properties and thermophysical parameters, and calculate the heat transfer coefficient of the wellbore in sections based on the analysis results and grid division results. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately calculate the parameters of the wellbore mixed liquid. The specific calculation formula of the parameters is as follows:

[0076] (1) Crude oil viscosity:

[0077]

[0078] in, γ O is the relative density of crude oil, g / cm 3 ; μ is the viscosity of crude oil, in mPa·s; C o is the initial temperature of crude oil; the viscosity-temperature relationship curve calculated by the above formula shows that the inflection point temperature of heavy oil is 60℃.

[0079] (2) Viscosity of crude oil and diluted oil after mixing:

[0080]

[0081] Among them, μ m is the viscosity of the mixed oil, in mPa·s; X i is the volume ratio of various oils in the mixed oil; μ i is the viscosity of the i-th oil, in mPa·s; the viscosity-temperature relationship curve obtained by calculation is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the above formula shows that the inflection point temperature after the mixture of thin and heavy oils is 45°C.

[0082] (3) Density of mixed liquid ρ mix :

[0083] ρ mix =ρ w ×f w +ρ o ×(1-f w )

[0084] Among them, ρ w is the water density in kg / m 3 ;f w is the water content of the mixed liquid; ρ o is the density of heavy oil, in kg / m 3 .

[0085] Since the properties of liquids change after mixing, the thermal conductivity of the mixed liquid will also change. The thermal conductivity of the fluid after oil-water mixing λ is established. f Calculation formula:

[0086]

[0087] Among them, λ w is the water density thermal conductivity, λ w is the thermal conductivity of heavy oil. According to the above formula, the density of the mixed liquid is 0.97g / cm 3 The thermal conductivity of the fluid after oil and water mixing is 0.27W / (m·℃).

[0088] After the entire wellbore is precisely gridded according to the wellbore structure, cable insertion depth, and thin oil mixing position, the total heat transfer coefficient of each section is calculated according to the corresponding fluid properties at different sections and temperatures. The calculation formula is:

[0089]

[0090] Where:

[0091] U toi —Total heat transfer coefficient of the i-th well section, W / (m·℃); r tii —Inner diameter of the tubing in the i-th well section, m; r toi—Outer diameter of the tubing in the i-th well section, m; r cii —Inner diameter of casing in the i-th well section, m; r toi —Casing outer diameter of the i-th well section, m; r hi —Radius of the outer wall of cement / insulation cement ring in the i-th well section, m; h f —Convection heat transfer coefficient of fluid in wellbore, W / (m 2 ℃); h ci —Convection heat transfer coefficient of fluid in annulus, W / (m 2 ·℃);λ tubi —Thermal conductivity of the tubing in the i-th well section, W / (m·℃); λ casi —Thermal conductivity of casing in the i-th well section, W / (m·℃); λ cemi —Thermal conductivity of cement sheath in the i-th well section, W / (m·℃). The total heat transfer coefficient of each section obtained according to the above formula is shown in Table 4.

[0094] S2. According to the method of reducing the viscosity of heavy oil in the wellbore, N well sections are divided into a single working section mixed with thin oil and a composite working section mixed with thin oil and insulated heating cable.

[0095] According to the cable lowering depth and the position of the diluted oil, the wellbore is divided into two sections: the diluted oil-only working section and the diluted oil-plus-insulated heating cable composite working section. The wellbore temperature field distribution models are established based on the heat transfer theory and the law of conservation of energy. The first section to the second section is the diluted oil-plus-insulated heating cable composite working section; the third section to the fifth section is the diluted oil-only working section.

[0096] S3. Combined with the heat transfer coefficient of each well section, the wellbore fluid temperature calculation models of the thin oil-mixed working section and the thin oil-mixed and insulated heating cable composite working section are obtained respectively; and the wellbore temperature field distribution is obtained based on the wellbore fluid temperature calculation model.

[0097] According to the cable running depth and the position of diluted oil, the wellbore is divided into two sections: diluted oil alone and diluted oil-insulated cable heating. The wellbore temperature field distribution models are established by heat transfer theory and energy conservation law. The temperature field calculation models of different sections are established by deeply studying the heat exchange mechanism between the wellbore and the reservoir, the influence of heat source and diluted oil on the wellbore temperature field distribution.

[0098] Among them, the energy balance analysis on the separate thin oil blending working section needs to consider the impact of the composite process on the heat transfer of the oil pipe and the annulus at the same time, and the energy balance equation relationship is established as follows:

[0099]

[0100] According to the assumption of steady-state heat transfer in the wellbore, the solution is:

[0101]

[0102] Where Q1 is the heat released from the tubing fluid to the annulus fluid; Q2 is the heat transferred from the annulus fluid to the formation; z is the formation depth; W1 is the mass flow rate in the tubing; W2 is the mass flow rate in the annulus; T f is the fluid temperature in the oil pipe; T a is the fluid temperature in the annulus; T e is the formation temperature; C p1 is the specific heat of the tubing fluid; C p2 is the specific heat of the annular fluid; U ta1 is the heat transfer coefficient between the annulus fluid and the tubing wall; U ac2 is the heat transfer coefficient between the annulus fluid and the casing wall.

[0103] Energy balance analysis is performed on the thin oil-insulated cable heating composite working section. It is necessary to consider the temperature of the oil pipe, annulus and cable heating at the same time, and the energy balance equation relationship is established as follows:

[0104] qdl=WdT+U to [T-(T0-ml)]dl

[0105] By solving the above energy balance equation, the wellbore fluid temperature distribution model is obtained as follows:

[0106]

[0107] Among them, U to is the total heat transfer coefficient of the wellbore; T is the fluid temperature in the wellbore; T0 is the formation temperature; m is the geothermal gradient; l is the length along the depth direction of the well; q is the unit heat source intensity; W is the heat loss of the fluid in the wellbore, and e is a natural number.

[0108] Based on the wellbore temperature field distribution model, the wellbore temperature field distribution diagram is calculated. The calculated fluid temperature in the tubing and its change process with well depth are shown in the following figure. Figure 4 shown.

[0109] Figure 5 The framework diagram of the method for determining the wellbore temperature field distribution under the composite process is shown in Figure 5As shown in the figure, firstly, an oil well under the conditions of composite process exploitation, Well X in a certain oil field, is selected as an example: according to the drilling design, the wellbore structure of the entire wellbore is obtained, including: drilling opening, casing and tubing depth, and thin oil mixing position. The basic parameters of the reservoir are obtained, including: oil layer depth and oil layer temperature. The construction parameters of the composite process are obtained, including: insulation oil pipe and insulation cement depth. The cable running parameters and heating power are obtained. Next, the entire wellbore is accurately gridded according to the wellbore structure, cable running depth, insulation oil pipe and insulation cement depth. Secondly, based on the fluid properties, thermophysical parameters and grid division, the heat transfer process of the wellbore under the composite process is analyzed and the total heat transfer coefficient of the entire wellbore is calculated. Then, according to the cable running depth and the thin oil mixing position, the wellbore is divided into two sections: thin oil mixing alone and thin oil mixing-insulated cable heating. The wellbore temperature field distribution model is established by heat transfer theory and the law of conservation of energy. Finally, based on the wellbore temperature field distribution model, the wellbore temperature field distribution plan view under the composite process is calculated. The present invention takes into account the influence of the composite process on the entire wellbore heat transfer process, adopts a numerical calculation method to calculate the wellbore temperature change during the heavy oil production process under the composite process and accurately predicts the wellbore temperature, which has guiding significance for the production of ultra-deep heavy oil wells under the composite process and achieves the purpose of reducing the use of thin oil and reducing energy consumption in the mine.
