Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development engineering, and in particular to a thermal recovery experimental device, system and method for a multi-layer heavy oil reservoir. Background Art

[0002] Heavy oil viscosity reduction development technologies mainly include steam injection viscosity reduction, underground combustion heat generation and thermal composite development. Among them, steam injection viscosity reduction development technology mainly heats the oil layer by the heat carried by steam. The specific methods of heavy oil production mainly include steam stimulation, steam drive and steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) technology. During the steam stimulation process, after the formation crude oil contacts the steam, the area where the viscosity is reduced by heat is mainly concentrated in the near-well area. In addition, this method can also provide suitable pressure conditions for steam drive. Steam drive is the main replacement method after steam stimulation. The mechanism of steam drive is mainly to reduce the viscosity of heavy oil and increase the mobility of crude oil. The steam phase is composed of water vapor and hydrocarbon vapor, which condense, dilute and displace the front crude oil together.

[0003] Multilayer heavy oil reservoirs are one of the main types of heavy oil reservoirs, and multilayer combined production is often used for development. For heavy oil reservoirs in the initial state, due to the interlayer heterogeneity of the reservoir and the difference in fluid properties in the vertical direction, interlayer interference occurs between small layers. With the continuous development of the oil field, the difference in formation pressure, water content and steam overburden between small layers make the interlayer interference more prominent, which ultimately makes it difficult to displace each layer evenly, thereby affecting the final recovery rate.

[0004] However, how to simulate the above process more accurately under high temperature and high pressure conditions, and to be able to observe the fluid migration and distribution laws at a macroscopic level, to ensure that the thermal recovery of multi-layer heavy oil reservoirs under indoor conditions is more similar to that of oil fields, and thus to better provide a basis for numerical simulation and field development, is still difficult to solve.

[0045] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a multi-layer heavy oil reservoir thermal recovery experimental device 1, comprising: an oil reservoir model 110, comprising a first simulated wellbore 111 and a second simulated wellbore 112, at least one oil layer 113 is connected between the first simulated wellbore 111 and the second simulated wellbore 112, each oil layer 113 is provided with at least one pressure measuring point hole 114 and a plurality of temperature measuring point holes 115 arranged at intervals, a pressure detection element is installed in the pressure measuring point hole 114, and a temperature detection element is installed in each temperature measuring point hole 115; a closed chamber 120, on which a confining pressure fluid channel 121 and a first wellbore channel 122 connected to the first simulated wellbore 111 are provided. , a second wellbore channel 123 connected to the second simulated wellbore 112, a containing cavity is formed in the closed warehouse body 120, and the reservoir model 110 is arranged in the containing cavity; a heater 130 is arranged in the containing cavity, and the heater 130 is used to make the inside of the closed warehouse body 120 at the reservoir formation temperature state; the multi-layer heavy oil reservoir thermal recovery experimental device 1 has a first working state and a second working state. In the first working state, the first simulated wellbore 111 and the second simulated wellbore 112 are in the injection state or the production state at the same time; in the second working state, the first simulated wellbore 111 and the second simulated wellbore 112 are in the injection state and the production state respectively.

[0047] The multi-layer heavy oil reservoir thermal recovery experimental device 1 provided in the present application is provided with a closed chamber 120, so as to maintain the reservoir formation simulation in the chamber during the experiment, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the experimental results; different working states can be entered by changing the injection and production states of the first simulated wellbore 111 and the second simulated wellbore 112, so that a variety of experiments can be completed through one experimental device, which is flexible and widely applicable; at least one pressure measuring point hole 114 and a plurality of temperature measuring point holes 115 arranged at intervals are provided on each oil layer 113, so as to facilitate the installation of the detection component, thereby facilitating the parameter acquisition and state monitoring during the experiment.

[0048] Specifically, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the multi-layer heavy oil reservoir thermal recovery experimental device 1 includes a reservoir model 110, a closed tank body 120 and a heater 130. Figure 2 As shown, the reservoir model 110 includes a first simulated wellbore 111, a second simulated wellbore 112, and at least one oil layer 113 connected between the first simulated wellbore 111 and the second simulated wellbore 112. The reservoir model 110 is specifically a multi-layer sand filling casting model, having an aluminum block shell 116 and an internal casting body, and the model size is 330mm×300mm×80mm. The aluminum block shell 116 is filled with oil sand formed by mixing quartz sand of different meshes (quartz sand meshes are obtained through similar design) and crude oil in proportion. The inner wall of the reservoir model 110 is paved with a certain thickness of clay to simulate the actual formation environment of the multi-layer heavy oil reservoir; the top of the reservoir model 110 is encapsulated with high temperature and high pressure resistant epoxy resin, which can not only meet the experimental high temperature and high pressure conditions, but also achieve macroscopic visualization. The reservoir model 110 is provided with grooves with a radial diameter of 5 mm to 8 mm and a depth of 1.5 mm to 2 mm on all sides. An O-ring with an outer diameter of 240 mm and a line diameter of 1.9 mm is embedded in the groove to increase the adhesion strength between the epoxy resin and the model, so as to improve the overall sealing of the reservoir model 110. At the same time, the O-ring can also play a buffering role during the experiment to avoid hard contact between the epoxy resin and other components. An epoxy resin cover plate is placed between each layer of oil sand and the top epoxy resin to prevent the uncured epoxy resin liquid from entering the oil sand and causing formation damage when pouring the epoxy resin for model packaging. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, each oil layer 113 is provided with at least one pressure measuring point hole 114 with an aperture of 12 mm to 15 mm and a plurality of temperature measuring point holes 115 arranged at intervals, which are used to set pressure detection components and temperature detection components as needed, such as by correspondingly installing pressure sensors and thermocouples to realize the monitoring of pressure and temperature changes inside the model; a first simulated wellbore 111 and a second simulated wellbore 112 are provided at both ends of the oil layer 113 inside the reservoir model 110, and the well diameter of each simulated wellbore is 1.5 mm to 3 mm, and each simulated wellbore is connected with each oil layer 113 through a plurality of perforated holes 117, preferably, five perforated holes 117 are provided in each layer, and the aperture is 1.5 mm to 2 mm; both ends of each simulated wellbore are respectively provided with an inlet and outlet connected to the outside of the model, and the aperture is 3 mm to 5 mm, which is used to simulate the vertical well development of multi-layer heavy oil reservoirs. In order to simulate the actual on-site development of an oil field, the reservoir model 110 is placed vertically in the experimental state, that is, the first simulated wellbore 111 and the second simulated wellbore 112 are extended along the gravity direction to truly reflect the impact of gravity differences on development. A visual window 125 can be opened at a corresponding position of the closed warehouse 120, and a monitor can also be set at a corresponding position to facilitate observation of the migration and distribution of fluids in each oil layer 113, and this application does not limit this.

[0049] In the experimental state, the entire closed chamber 120 is filled with high temperature and high pressure resistant confining fluid, which can not only serve as a medium for heating and conduction, but can also be continuously injected through the confining fluid channel 121 to continuously pressurize the inside of the closed chamber 120, thereby providing confining pressure for the model and simulating the confining pressure state of the real reservoir formation. Figure 1 As shown, since the volume of the accommodating chamber is large and the injection speed of the conventional confining pressure pump 4 is slow, a confining pressure fluid fast channel 126 is also provided on the closed warehouse body 120. The confining pressure fluid fast channel 126 is provided with a high-pressure oil pump for one-time rapid filling and extraction of the confining pressure fluid inside the closed warehouse body 120. The confining pressure fluid fast channel 126 can be blocked with a plug during the period from rapid filling to extraction to ensure complete sealing of the interior of the closed warehouse body 120 during the experiment.

[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a visual window 125 is provided on the side wall of the closed chamber 120 close to the reservoir model 110. Under the experimental state, the accommodating cavity is filled with a transparent confining pressure fluid medium, so that the visual window 125 can be used to observe the migration and distribution of the fluid in each oil layer 113. Specifically, the visual window 125 is made of a high temperature and high pressure resistant glass material, so that the migration and distribution of the fluid in the experimental process can be observed and photographed by a camera under the experimental state. Preferably, the confining pressure fluid medium is a high temperature and high pressure resistant transparent dimethyl silicone oil.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the closed warehouse body 120 is a cylindrical cavity, the axis of the closed warehouse body 120 is perpendicular to the axis of the first simulated wellbore 111 and the second simulated wellbore 112, there are multiple oil layers 113, and the multiple oil layers 113 are arranged at intervals along the axis direction of the first simulated wellbore 111 or the second simulated wellbore 112, and the closed warehouse body 120 is provided with multiple visual windows 125 corresponding to the multiple oil layers 113 in the circumferential direction. By setting the visual windows 125 corresponding to the oil layers 113, it is convenient to observe and record the migration and distribution of the fluid in each oil layer 113 in detail. Among them, the closed warehouse body 120 is also provided with a pressure measuring channel 124 for the pressure measuring pipeline to pass through and a temperature measuring channel for the temperature measuring pipeline to pass through. In this embodiment, the length of the closed warehouse body 120 is 420mm, the radius is 210mm, and the maximum pressure resistance is 30MPa.

Among them, the storage medium in the confining pressure fluid reservoir 3 is dimethyl silicone oil.

[0058] Specifically, the multi-layer heavy oil reservoir thermal recovery experiment system also includes a data monitoring and display module, which is used to monitor the temperature and pressure at different positions inside the closed chamber 120 and the reservoir model 110 in real time during the experiment, and to accurately adjust the experimental pressure in combination with computer software to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment. Figure 6 As shown, preferably, the first six-way valve 26 is connected to a first pressure sensor 29, and the second six-way valve 27 is connected to a second pressure sensor 30. The first pressure sensor 29 is used to measure the flow pressure of the fluid flowing through the first six-way valve 26, and the second pressure sensor 30 is used to measure the flow pressure of the fluid flowing through the second six-way valve 27, so as to accurately control the flow pressure of the input fluid. Further, all kinds of pipelines connected to the multi-layer heavy oil reservoir thermal recovery experimental device 1 are provided with insulation sleeves and heating belts to reduce the energy loss of the medium in the pipeline during the flow, meet the injection conditions of the medium required for the experiment as much as possible, and improve the flow performance of the medium in the pipeline.

[0059] The multi-layer heavy oil reservoir thermal recovery experimental system provided in the present application can truly restore the actual geological conditions of the multi-layer heavy oil reservoir, not only can it simulate the thermal recovery development process of the multi-layer heavy oil reservoir, but also can study the development dynamics and production laws of the single-layer heavy oil reservoir under different conditions, and can even simulate the development of the multi-layer heavy oil reservoir under multiple conditions, including multi-element thermal fluid drive, chemical composite drive, steam foam drive and non-condensate gas auxiliary, etc., which can make up for the shortcomings of the existing experimental devices that only consider single-layer reservoirs or use multi-tubes to simulate multi-layer reservoirs. The experimental system can effectively carry out indoor simulations of different development methods of multi-layer heavy oil reservoirs, and can study the influence of static geological parameters (including the number of interlayers, oil layer 113 thickness distribution, permeability, porosity, etc.) and dynamic injection parameters (including steam dryness, production-injection ratio, periodic injection volume, etc.) of the reservoir on the production effect under different development methods. At the same time, it can also study the temperature evolution law and residual oil distribution in the production process.

[0060] The present invention also provides an experimental method for realizing thermal recovery of multi-layer heavy oil reservoirs by using the above multi-layer heavy oil reservoir thermal recovery experimental system, comprising:

[0061] Step S00, start the confining pressure pump 4, and pass the confining pressure fluid in the confining pressure fluid reservoir 3 into the closed chamber 120 to form the closed chamber 120 into a pressure chamber; turn on the heater 130 to make the interior of the closed chamber 120 at the reservoir formation temperature.

[0062] Step S10, start the back pressure pump 24, and inject the deionized water in the third deionized water reservoir 25 into the back pressure valve pressure control pipeline 23 until the pressure of the first back pressure valve 18 and the second back pressure valve 21 reaches the formation pressure required for the first round of steam stimulation experiment.

[0063] Step S20, adjust the first six-way valve 26 and the three-way valve 28 to connect the first steam pump 7 with the first wellbore channel 122 through the crude oil injection pipeline 15; adjust the second six-way valve 27 to connect the second production pipeline 20 with the second wellbore channel 123; start the first steam pump 7, pass the crude oil in the intermediate container 16 into the reservoir model 110, and continuously pressurize the closed warehouse body 120 through the confining pressure pump 4. When crude oil appears in the second metering device 22, turn off the first steam pump 7 and the back pressure pump 24.

[0064] Step S30, adjust the three-way valve 28, connect the first steam pump 7 and the first steam generator 8, set the steam temperature of the first steam generator 8 to the steam saturation temperature under the formation pressure corresponding to step S10, start the first steam pump and the first steam generator 8, and use the first steam generator 8 to inject the first steam into the steam in the pipeline 5 to hold the steam pressure to the formation pressure required for the first round of steam injection experiment; set the steam temperature of the second steam generator 13 to the steam saturation temperature under the formation pressure corresponding to step S10, start the second steam pump 12 and the second steam generator 13, and use the second steam generator 13 to inject the second steam into the pipeline 5 to hold the steam pressure to the formation pressure required for the first round of steam injection experiment; The steam in 10 is pressurized to the formation pressure required for the first round of steam injection experiment; the first six-way valve 26 is adjusted to connect the first steam injection pipeline 5 with the first wellbore channel 122, and the second six-way valve 27 is adjusted to connect the second steam injection pipeline 10 with the second wellbore channel 123, so as to simultaneously introduce steam into the first wellbore channel 122 and the second wellbore channel 123, and the closed warehouse 120 is continuously pressurized by the confining pressure pump 4. When the steam injection time reaches the experimental steam injection time requirement, the first steam pump 7, the first steam generator 8, the second steam pump 12, the second steam generator 13 and all valves are closed to shut down the well.

[0065] Step S40, after the soaking time requirement is reached, start the back pressure pump 24, and inject the deionized water in the third deionized water reservoir 25 into the back pressure valve pressure control pipeline 23, until the pressure of the first back pressure valve 18 and the second back pressure valve 21 are at the formation pressure required for the first round of steam stimulation experiment; adjust the first six-way valve 26 to connect the first production pipeline 17 with the first wellbore channel 122, and adjust the second six-way valve 27 to connect the second production pipeline 20 with the second wellbore channel 123, so that the fluid in the reservoir model 110 flows into the first meter 19 and the second meter 22 at the same time. When the fluid in the first meter 19 and the second meter 22 no longer increases, close all valves and the back pressure pump 24, and the first round of steam stimulation experiment is completed.

[0066] Step S50, repeating steps S10, S30, S40 for multiple times to conduct multiple rounds of steam stimulation experiments, wherein the pressures of the first back pressure valve 18 and the second back pressure valve 21 are correspondingly set to the formation pressures required for each round of steam stimulation experiments.

[0067] Step S60, start the back pressure pump 24, and inject the deionized water in the third deionized water reservoir 25 into the back pressure valve pressure control pipeline 23 until the pressure of the second back pressure valve 21 reaches the formation pressure required for the steam flooding experiment.

[0068] Step S70, adjust the three-way valve 28, connect the first steam pump 7 and the first steam generator 8, set the steam temperature of the first steam generator 8 to the temperature required for the steam drive experiment, start the first steam pump 7 and the first steam generator 8, and use the first steam generator 8 to pressurize the steam in the first steam injection pipeline 5 to the formation pressure required for the steam drive experiment.

[0069] Step S80, adjust the first six-way valve 26 to connect the first steam injection pipeline 5 with the first wellbore channel 122, and introduce steam into the first wellbore channel 122; adjust the second six-way valve 27 to connect the second production pipeline 20 with the second wellbore channel 123, and allow the fluid in the reservoir model 110 to flow into the second metering device 22.

[0070] Step S90, when the temperature of each oil layer 113 near the second simulated wellbore 112 approaches the steam temperature and the crude oil accounts for no more than 2% of the fluid flowing into the second metering device 22, the first steam generator 8 is closed, the first vent valve 9 is opened, and after the deionized water in the first deionized water reservoir 6 reduces the temperature of the steam generator to room temperature, the first steam pump 7 is closed, the back pressure pump 24 is closed, and the pressure of the second back pressure valve 21 is at atmospheric pressure. After the closed bin 120 is depressurized through the second back pressure valve 21, the heater 130 is closed.

[0071] Specifically, before step S00, the preparation work including the production of reservoir model 110, assembly of parts, connection of pipelines, and sealing test is also included. Among them, the production of reservoir model 110 includes: firstly, the similarity design of the model is carried out, and on the basis of the similarity design, the permeability of the model is subjected to motion constraints, and the motion similarity test is carried out using the Fuchs-Hymer law of non-Darcy flow (Reynolds number (Re) ≤ 1 to 10 is Darcy flow). If the similarity design result is satisfied, the similarity design result is adopted, and if it is not satisfied, the constrained permeability needs to be adopted. Combined with the experimental design calculation, the experimental parameters are finally determined. The experimental parameters mainly include basic model parameters such as the total thickness of the model, permeability, and thickness of the oil layer 113, and experimental operation parameters such as steam injection volume, injection time, well soaking time, and steam injection speed. Among them, the weighted average permeability data table of the reservoir is shown in Table 1, and the experimental parameter design result table is shown in Table 2; secondly, the quartz sand (40-60 mesh, 60-80 mesh) selected for the experiment is determined, and then the heavy oil and quartz sand of different mesh sizes are mixed according to the designed proportion. The prepared oil sand is prepared and filled in anti-rhythmic distribution. During the sand filling process, the inner wall of the model is too smooth, so it needs to be roughened with clay. In this embodiment, the thickness of the oil sand is 5 cm. In order to make the measurement result relatively more accurate, during the sand filling process, it is necessary to install a thermocouple and a pressure sensor for measuring the temperature and pressure of each oil layer 113 at a position 2.5 cm away from the bottom of each oil layer 113 (the middle part of the thickness of the oil sand) according to the design point, so as to facilitate the clarification of the temperature evolution law and the monitoring of the pressure change during the experiment. Then, the epoxy resin cover plate prepared in advance is placed above the sand body to prevent the epoxy resin from entering the sand body during the pouring process, destroying the sand body structure and blocking the perforation holes 117; and the gap between the epoxy resin cover plate and the sand body is sealed again with clay around it. Finally, the high temperature and high pressure resistant epoxy resin is filled into the mold by 1 cm to encapsulate the entire model, and it is ready to be solidified. Among them, the ratio of heavy oil and quartz sand is calculated according to the porosity of the target block reservoir, and the sand volume is calculated by the model size. It is assumed that all pores are crude oil in the target block, and the pore volume is the crude oil volume.

[0082]

[0083] Among them, the pipeline connection is carried out in accordance with the composition of the multi-layer heavy oil reservoir thermal recovery experimental system. After the connection is completed, all inlet and outlet pipelines are insulated and heated using insulation sleeves and heating belts, and then the closed warehouse body 120 is sealed to enter the sealing test. Combined with the experimental pressure, nitrogen or air under corresponding pressure conditions is selected to be injected, and it is left to stand for more than 24 hours. The pressure change is observed through the data monitoring display module. If the pressure change is less than 0.1MPa, it is considered that the sealing is good; at the same time, the temperature display is observed. If the temperature is roughly the same as the room temperature, it is considered that the temperature display is normal, and the next experiment can be carried out.

[0084] In step S00, the confining fluid is first introduced into the closed chamber 120 through the confining fluid fast channel 126, and then the channel is closed, and the confining fluid is introduced through the confining fluid channel 121 to continuously pressurize the interior of the closed chamber 120. The reservoir formation temperature is 40°C, which is monitored by the temperature probe 150 and the temperature detection member in the temperature measuring point hole 115 inside the reservoir model 110.

[0085] In step S10, the formation pressure required for the first round of steam stimulation experiment is the original formation pressure of 9 MPa.

[0086] In step S20, the output power of the first steam pump 7 is adjusted to control the crude oil introduction rate to 2 ml / min to achieve smooth oil injection.

[0087] In step S30, the rate of introducing steam into the first wellbore channel 122 and the second wellbore channel 123 is set to 10 ml / min, the injection time is set to 15 min, and the soaking time is set to 2 min.

[0088] In step S40, during the adjustment of the first six-way valve 26 and the second six-way valve 27, the operation needs to be slow to prevent the internal pressure from being too high and causing liquid spraying.

[0089] In step S50, steps S10, S30, and S40 are repeated 5 times in total. The required formation pressures in the 5 rounds of steam huff and puff experiments are 8 MPa, 7 MPa, 6 MPa, 5 MPa, and 5 MPa, respectively. Among them, photos are taken before each round of huff and puff injection, during well soaking, and after huff and puff production to facilitate comparison of the fluid distribution inside the model in different time periods.

[0090] In step S60, the formation pressure required for the steam flooding experiment is set to 5 MPa.

[0091] In step S70, the temperature required for the steam flooding experiment is set to 264°C.

[0092] In step S80, the rate of introducing steam into the first wellbore channel 122 is set to 13.3 ml / min.

[0093] During the steam drive experiment, a two-minute drive video was taken every half hour, and photos were taken every 10 minutes to facilitate later comparative analysis.

[0094] The experimental results of thermal recovery of multi-layer heavy oil reservoirs are as follows: Figures 7 to 10 As shown in the figure, the light gray part is the heating cavity, and the dark gray part is the steam cavity. Specifically, the development pattern of the heating cavity in the steam intake and exhaust stage is ellipsoid → lower cone → inverted truncated cone, and the development pattern of the heating cavity in the steam drive stage is lower cone → inverted truncated cone; for general steam injection, the uppermost heating cavity accounts for the highest proportion. After the drive, the temperature of the uppermost layer gradually exceeds the steam saturation temperature, and a steam cavity appears. During the whole process, the uppermost layer is the first to steam channel, and then the proportion of the heating cavity in the lower layer begins to decrease; and because the uppermost layer is the dominant layer under general steam injection, the steam absorption is larger, so the heating cavity expands faster and accounts for a higher proportion.

[0095] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in order to prevent the epoxy resin encapsulating the reservoir model 110 from cracking, the difference between the internal pressure of the closed chamber 120 and the crude oil flow pressure and steam flow pressure entering the reservoir model 110 is no more than 1MPa, that is, the difference between the external confining pressure fluid pressure of the reservoir model 110 and the crude oil flow pressure and steam flow pressure entering the reservoir model 110 is no more than 1MPa. If it is found during the experiment that the internal pressure of the reservoir model 110 rises too fast during steam injection, making it difficult for the confining pressure to keep up, the injection amount, injection speed, etc. can be adjusted in real time to ensure that the internal and external pressure difference does not exceed 1MPa at all times.

[0096] The experimental method for thermal recovery of multi-layer heavy oil reservoirs provided in the present application is based on a similar design and also carries out a similar design of permeability taking into account motion constraints. Therefore, the experimental method can more realistically and effectively simulate the thermal recovery development dynamics and production laws of multi-layer heavy oil reservoirs, and provide strong support for reservoir engineering analysis of actual thermal recovery development of multi-layer heavy oil reservoirs.

[0097] The above are only several embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to the embodiments of the present invention based on the contents disclosed in the application documents without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
