Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unconventional oil and gas exploitation, and in particular to a shale oil well production prediction method and system based on error weights. Background Art

[0002] The empirical production decline model is a method for studying the dynamic production law of oil wells. Its parameters are easy to solve and can quickly and accurately calculate the recoverable reserves (EUR) of oil wells. It is widely used in major oil and gas reservoirs at home and abroad. Arps (1944) first summarized three classic empirical production decline models based on the decline law of oil and gas wells. Subsequently, many scholars proposed modified Arps models based on the application of Arps models in different blocks, such as: Logistic Growth model (1956), SEPD model (2009), etc. With the depletion of conventional oil reservoirs, unconventional oil reservoirs have become the focus of exploration and development. Scholars have established empirical production decline models based on the flow characteristics of unconventional fluids, such as: PLE model (2008), Duong model (2010), RB-LGM model (2020), etc. In view of the rapid decline stage and slow decline stage of unconventional oil wells, the combined model has become the research focus of the empirical production decline model, such as: Duong+Arps (2018), extended Duong+improved power law exponential model (2021), etc. The combination model generally takes equal production or equal decline rate as the combination point, but there are multiple solutions for the combination point. The essence of the combination model is segmented fitting. The EUR forecast benefits from the accurate fitting of the decline data in the latter segment, and the empirical production decline model fitted in the former segment has little effect.

[0056] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0057] Example 1

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, a shale oil well production prediction method based on error weight, the specific calculation method includes the following steps:

[0059] Step S1: preparing relevant shale oil well production data, wherein the shale oil well production data includes production date, wellhead pressure and actual daily oil production;

[0060] Step S2: Regularize the shale oil well production data and identify the flow stage using the Blasingame typical plate;

[0061] The normalization process in step S2 is the production data processing method proposed by Blasingame under variable bottom hole pressure production, and the formula is as follows:

[0062]

[0063] Where: q o is the actual daily oil production; Q o is the actual cumulative oil production; t c is the material equilibrium time; is the normalized output; p i is the original formation pressure; p wf is the bottom hole flowing pressure; is the regularized production integral; is the regularized yield integral derivative.

[0064] The identification of the flow stage in step S2 is to plot the calculated normalized production, normalized production integral and normalized production integral derivative on the Blasingame typical plate, and determine the flow stage of the shale oil well according to the position of the actual data points on the plate.

[0065] Step S3: selecting corresponding m empirical production decline models according to the flow stage and fitting them to the shale oil well production data;

[0066] Step S4: based on the empirical production decline model fitting value obtained in S3, calculating the error function between each empirical production decline model and the shale oil well production data;

[0067] The error functions in step S4 are mean absolute error, mean absolute percentage error and root mean square error, and the formula is as follows:

[0068]

[0069] Where: q i is the oil production on the i-th day, i = 1, 2, 3, …, n; is the fitted value of the empirical production decline model on the i-th day; MAE is the mean absolute error; MAPE is the mean absolute percentage error; RMSE is the root mean square error.

[0070] Step S5: Based on the error functions of each empirical production decline model obtained in step S4, the function is normalized to obtain the weights of each empirical production decline model, thereby obtaining a new combined model to achieve accurate prediction of shale oil well production.

[0071] The normalization process in step S5 is that the larger the error function of the empirical yield decline model, the smaller the weight assigned, and the sum of the weights is 1, and the formula is as follows:

[0072]

[0073] Where: er j is the error function value of the jth empirical yield decline model; ar j is the intermediate variable; j is the weight of the jth empirical yield decline model, and

[0074] The combined model formula in step S5 is as follows:

[0075]

[0076] Where: q i,comb is the output forecast value of the combined model on the i-th day; ω j is the weight of the jth empirical yield decline model; is the output prediction value of the jth empirical output decline model on the i-th day; m is the number of empirical output decline models selected in step S3.

[0077] Embodiment 2:

[0078] The shale oil well production data used in this experimental example comes from Shengli Oilfield. The data comes from Well 1 in FYP Well Area of ​​Shengli Oilfield. The data sample includes production date, wellhead pressure and actual daily oil production, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0079] First, the production data of shale oil wells are normalized and the processed data are plotted on the Blasingame typical plate to identify the flow stage of well 1, such as Figure 2 :

[0080]

[0081] Where: q o is the actual daily oil production; Q o is the actual cumulative oil production; t c is the material equilibrium time; is the normalized output; p i is the original formation pressure; p wf is the bottom hole flowing pressure; is the regularized production integral; is the normalized yield integral derivative.

[0082] according to Figure 3 , indicating that the flow stage of Well 1 is in the fracture linear flow and transition flow stage. The empirical production decline models applicable to this flow stage are FDC, Duong, Matthews-Leflcovits and Li decline models. The four different empirical production decline models are as follows:

[0083] (1) FDC model:

[0084]

[0085] Where: m is the maximum daily oil production of shale oil wells in the decline stage, t / d; λ is an undetermined coefficient, describing the trend of the slow decline stage; α is the diffusion coefficient; t is the production time, d.

[0086] (2) Duong model

[0087]

[0088] Where: qi is the decreasing initial output, t / d; Q ois the cumulative oil production, t; t is the production time, d; a and m are unknown coefficients, describing the linear relationship between the ratio of production and cumulative production in shale oil wells and time, a is usually less than 0, and m is usually greater than 1.

[0089] (3) Matthews-Leflcovits model

[0090]

[0091] In the formula: qi is the decreasing initial output, t / d; t is the production time, d; a is the unknown coefficient.

[0092] (4) Li decline model

[0093] q=q i ·exp[-λ(lnt) 2 ]

[0094] In the formula: qi is the decreasing initial output, t / d; λ is the decreasing index; t is the production time, d.

[0095] To verify the effectiveness of the present invention, the production data of Well 1 is divided into a fitting set and a validation set, with a ratio of 8:2. The fitting set is used to determine the fitting parameters of the empirical production decline model, and the validation set is used to compare the prediction reliability of different empirical production decline models. In this embodiment, the production data of Well 1 is first fitted using the above four empirical production decline models, and then the error function of each empirical production decline model is calculated, the weight of each model is calculated using the formula and the combined model is obtained, and finally the combined model is compared and analyzed with the four empirical production decline models.

[0096] Schematic diagram of the fitting effect of four empirical yield decline models Figure 4 As shown, the error function formula in step S4 is used to calculate the error functions of the four empirical yield decline models in the fitting set, and the calculation results are shown in Table 1.

[0098] Model Name MAE MAPE RMSE FDC 4.6293 0.1072 6.8770 Duong 3.8002 0.0838 6.2967 ML 4.2623 0.0973 6.6403 Li 3.8109 0.0824 7.2296

[0099] The weight calculation formula in step S5 is used to calculate the weights of the four empirical yield decline models under the three error functions. The calculation results are shown in Table 2.

[0100] Table 2 Weight calculation results of four empirical yield decline models

[0101] Model Name MAE MAPE RMSE FDC 0.2213 0.2136 0.2452 Duong 0.2696 0.2734 0.2677 ML 0.2403 0.2352 0.2539 Li 0.2688 0.2778 0.2332

[0102] According to the calculation results in Table 2, three combination models can be obtained. The schematic diagram of the model fitting effect is shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, where: combination model 1 represents the combination model obtained by error function MAE, combination model 2 represents the combination model obtained by error function MAPE, and combination model 3 represents the combination model obtained by error function RMSE. Figure 5 and Figure 6 It shows that the prediction results of the combined model of the present invention are more accurate than those of the four single empirical production decline models. Figure 7 The mean absolute percentage errors of four single empirical yield decline models and the combined model of the present invention under the validation set were compared, indicating that the combined model of the present invention is more reliable in prediction.

[0103] Beneficial effects: Based on the Blasingame theory, the flow stage of shale oil wells is identified, the corresponding empirical production decline model is selected and fitted using the flow stage, the error function of each empirical model is calculated, and the error function is normalized to obtain a new combination model, thereby realizing accurate prediction of shale oil well production. In addition to being used to predict shale oil well production data, the present invention can also be extended to other types of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, and the calculation cost is relatively low, and it has a wide range of application value.
