Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas exploitation, and relates to an exploitation method for an oil reservoir, and in particular to an exploitation method for a deep-layer heavy oil reservoir. Background Art

[0002] Heavy oil is crude oil with high asphaltene and colloid content and high viscosity. The recovery technology of heavy oil reservoirs includes cold recovery technology and thermal recovery technology. Due to the high viscosity of heavy oil, the recovery rate of cold recovery technology is generally low. Steam huff and puff is one of the main methods of thermal recovery technology. It injects a certain amount of high-temperature and high-pressure saturated wet steam into the oil layer, shuts down the well for a period of time, and then opens the well for production after the heat of the steam diffuses into the oil layer.

[0003] For heavy oil reservoirs with a burial depth of more than 1,500 meters, the permeability of the oil layer is below 500mD, and the pressure of the overlying bottom layer is high, making steam injection extremely difficult. Conventional steam injection pressure is difficult to enter the oil layer to drive oil. In addition, the reservoir of heavy oil reservoirs with a burial depth of more than 1,500 meters is water-sensitive, and conventional water injection or steam injection will further reduce the permeability of the oil layer.

[0004] In order to realize the exploitation of such heavy oil reservoirs, the existing technology uses supercritical steam injection to drive oil. When the temperature and pressure of water rise above the critical point, the properties of water change, and it has extremely high permeability, solubility and reactivity. However, due to the influence of reservoir water sensitivity of heavy oil reservoirs with a burial depth of more than 1,500 meters, clay minerals expand, which leads to high injection pressure and it is difficult to achieve multiple rounds of gas injection to effectively reduce the injection pressure.

[0005] In addition, due to the limitation of injection capacity, the injection volume of each round is limited, and the energy provided to the formation is also limited. During the steam throughput process, the energy is rapidly depleted, resulting in a short effective production time of the cycle, a small range of steam throughput, low cycle oil production, and a recovery rate generally not exceeding 20%.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for exploiting deep heavy oil reservoirs with a burial depth of more than 1500 meters. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for exploiting deep heavy oil reservoirs, which can exploit heavy oil reservoirs with a burial depth of more than 1,500 meters, significantly improve the injection capacity, extend the cycle exploitation time of steam throughput, improve the recovery rate of steam throughput, and realize the effective development of heavy oil reservoirs.
