DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0021] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for obtaining probe coefficients in a pressure pre-test according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps: Step S101, determining the correlation between the probe coefficient and target pressure related parameters according to the correlation between the flow rate of the pressure drop method and the steady-state flow pressure of the probe.

[0022] In order to facilitate the analysis of the relationship between the fluidity and the probe coefficient of the pressure drop method, the pre-test process of the cable and the formation tester while drilling is introduced below. Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the relationship between pressure response and time during the pre-test of the cable and the formation tester while drilling is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the pre-test process of the cable and the formation tester while drilling can be divided into five stages, which are the instrument placement stage, the sealing stage, the pressure drop stage, the pressure recovery stage and the pressure measurement stop stage.

[0023] 1) Instrument placement stage: Place the formation tester to the measuring depth point in the well. The pressure measured at this time is the mud column pressure before measurement.

[0024] 2) Sealing stage: Push the probe against the well wall to form a seal with the well wall.

[0025] 3) Pressure drop stage: At a constant rate, the piston in the formation tester is moved to increase the volume of the pipeline, thereby reducing the pipeline pressure. Figure 2 At time t1 in the figure, the reservoir fluid cannot flow into the pipeline because the pressure is greater than the reservoir pressure. The corresponding expansion volume V1 is not the reservoir fluid (usually V1 is less than 1cm 3 ), this process is called flowline decompression. When the pressure is lower than the reservoir pressure (corresponding to Figure 2 At time t2 in the flow chart, the reservoir fluid begins to flow in, and the pipeline pressure drop will approach the steady state exponentially. In the late stage of pressure drop, spherical steady flow is achieved under long time and low rate. The effective test volume of formation fluid is V2, which is not equal to the total volume V=V1+V2.

[0026] 4) Pressure recovery phase: Stop moving the piston (corresponding to Figure 2 The pressure is restored to the reservoir pressure exponentially at time t3. The early stage of pressure recovery depends on pipeline storage (Flowline Storage) and measurement tools (such as pressure measuring instruments), and the later stage forms spherical and / or radial flow (corresponding to Figure 2 time t4).

[0027] 5) Stop pressure measurement stage: The pressure measured at this time is the mud column pressure after measurement.

[0028] Goode and Thambynayagam et al. proposed a correlation between the flow rate of the pressure drop method and the steady-state flow pressure of the probe in 1992. The correlation is expressed as:

[0029] Where m represents mobility; k represents formation permeability; μ represents fluid viscosity; h represents reservoir thickness; p ssD represents the dimensionless pressure of steady-state flow; q represents the pump flow rate; Δp dd Indicates the pre-test pressure difference; C pf Represents the probe coefficient.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the target pressure-related parameter may be a dimensionless pressure of a steady-state flow or a pre-tested pressure difference.

[0031] Specifically, when the target pressure-related parameter is the dimensionless pressure of steady-state flow, the correlation between the probe coefficient and the dimensionless pressure of steady-state flow can be determined based on the correlation between the mobility of the pressure drop method and the steady-state flow pressure of the probe. The correlation is expressed as:

[0032] Among them, C pf represents the probe coefficient; h represents the reservoir thickness; p ssD Represents the dimensionless pressure for steady-state flow.

[0033] When the unit of h is in (inch), the unit of k is mD, the unit of μ is cP, and the unit of q is cm 3 / s, we can get:

[0034] According to the correlation between the probe coefficient and the dimensionless pressure of steady-state flow, if the analytical solution of the dimensionless pressure of steady-state flow can be obtained, the probe coefficient can be obtained.

[0035] When the target pressure-related parameter is the pre-test pressure difference, the correlation between the probe coefficient and the pre-test pressure difference can be determined based on the correlation between the flow rate of the pressure drop method and the steady-state flow pressure of the probe. The correlation is expressed as:

[0036] Among them, C pf represents the probe coefficient; m represents the fluidity; Δp dd represents the pre-test pressure difference; q represents the pump flow rate; k represents the formation permeability; μ represents the fluid viscosity.

[0037] Step S102, based on the analytical solution of the pressure equation of the probe or the numerical solution of the reservoir simulation probe pre-test process, the time is extrapolated to infinity for calculation to obtain the target pressure related parameters.

[0038] Step S103, determining the probe coefficient according to the correlation relationship between the probe coefficient and the target pressure related parameter and the target pressure related parameter.

[0039] When the target pressure-related parameter is the dimensionless pressure of steady-state flow, the time in the analytical solution can be extrapolated to infinity for calculation based on the analytical solution of the pressure equation of the probe to obtain the dimensionless pressure of steady-state flow, and then the probe coefficient is determined by combining the correlation between the probe coefficient determined in step S101 and the dimensionless pressure of steady-state flow; when the target pressure-related parameter is the pre-test pressure difference, the spherical flow pressure difference in the numerical solution can be extrapolated to infinity for calculation based on the numerical solution of the pre-test process of the reservoir simulation probe to obtain the pre-test pressure difference, and then the probe coefficient is determined by combining the correlation between the probe coefficient determined in step S101 and the pre-test pressure difference.

[0040] The following is a detailed introduction to the method of obtaining the probe coefficient based on the analytical solution of the pressure equation of the probe and the method of obtaining the probe coefficient based on the numerical solution of the reservoir simulation probe pre-test process.

[0041] (1) The method of obtaining the probe coefficient based on the analytical solution of the pressure equation of the probe: The analytical solution of the pressure equation of the probe is obtained by solving the pressure diffusion equation and boundary conditions. Specifically, the boundary conditions include upper and lower boundary conditions and constant pressure boundary conditions. The time in the analytical solution of the pressure equation of the probe is extrapolated to infinity for calculation to obtain the dimensionless pressure of the steady-state flow.

[0042] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an oil well / reservoir system is shown, such as Figure 3 As shown, the vertical height of the inclined well from the bottom of the reservoir is D b , in inches; the perforation length of the well is L w , in inches; the angle of inclination is θ. The upper and lower boundary conditions can be no flow or constant pressure. The reservoir thickness is h, in inches; the vertical permeability of the formation is k v , unit is mD; the horizontal permeability of the formation is k h , in mD. In the embodiment of the present application, the pressure diffusion of the formation test can be regarded as the liquid flowing into the wellbore in a plane radial direction in the infinite formation, and propagating to the reservoir in a hemispherical manner in space. The medium flowing in the pores is a single-phase slightly compressible liquid. Taking the cylindrical coordinate system, since the shape of the source can be regarded as a point source relative to the infinite formation, the pressure diffusion equation is obtained:

[0043] Where p is the pressure at the probe, in psi; r is the radial distance in the cylindrical coordinate system, in in; θ is the azimuth angle in the cylindrical coordinate system, dimensionless; z is the height in the cylindrical coordinate system, in in; represents the formation porosity, the unit is %; μ represents the fluid viscosity, the unit is cP; c tIndicates the fluid compressibility coefficient in psi -1 ;k v Indicates the vertical permeability of the formation, in mD; k h represents the horizontal permeability of the formation in mD; t represents time. In SI (International System of Units) units, the constant 0.0002637 needs to be converted to 1.

[0044] The pressure diffusion equation describes the radial flow of a slightly compressible liquid with a constant compressibility coefficient in a porous medium, or in this case, the pressure distribution in the reservoir p=p(r,θ,z,t) is the pressure (in psi) at a distance from the well (r,θ,z) at time t (in seconds). For the upper and lower boundaries of the formation, when the pressure caused by the flow of the fluid propagates in the formation and encounters an impermeable formation, that is, z=0 and z=h, the pressure is constant or there is no flow, that is, the upper and lower boundary conditions, expressed as:

[0045] p(r,θ,z,t)| z=0 =p i p(r,θ,z,t)| z=h =p i Among them, p i Indicates formation pressure in psi.

[0046] For an infinite formation, the liquid flows radially toward the wellbore in a plane. It is assumed that the pressure in the formation is balanced and equal to the original formation pressure, that is, the pressure in the definition domain is p i , so the initial condition is obtained, expressed as: p(r,θ,z,t)| t=0 =p i For the relative infinity, the pressure remains unchanged, that is, the constant pressure boundary condition is expressed as:

[0047] The production (pumping) conditions are expressed as:

[0048] Among them, q w Indicates the pump flow rate in cm 3 / s;L w The integral term represents the fluid pumping rate per unit well length. In SI units, the constant 0.001127 needs to be converted to 1.

[0049] By solving the above pressure diffusion equation, the analytical solution of the pressure equation of the probe can be obtained. Goode and Thambynayagam proposed in 1992 that for unbounded homogeneous reservoirs, under the condition of no flow in the wellbore, the dimensionless analytical solution of the point source pressure equation is:

[0050] In the formula, , , ,

[0051] G(θ,β) can be obtained by numerical integration:

[0052] Among them, p D represents dimensionless pressure; t D represents dimensionless time; θ represents the azimuth angle of the cylindrical coordinate system; z D represents dimensionless distance; h D represents the dimensionless reservoir thickness; α and β represent dummy variables; k represents the formation permeability, in mD; r w Indicates the well diameter, in inches; Δp indicates the difference between the formation pressure and the pressure at the probe, in psi; q indicates the pump flow rate, in cm 3 / s; μ represents fluid viscosity, in cP; t represents time, in s; Indicates the formation porosity, unit is %; c t Indicates the fluid compressibility coefficient in psi -1 ; z represents the height of the cylindrical coordinate system, in inches; k h Indicates the horizontal permeability of the formation, in mD; k v represents the vertical permeability of the formation, in mD; h represents the reservoir thickness, in in; G (θ, β) is a wellbore response function defined; represents the nth-order derivative of the Bessel function of the first kind; represents the nth-order derivative of the Bessel function of the second kind.

[0053] Then according to the above formulas, the dimensionless pressure p of the steady flow can be obtained ssD for:

[0054] After the steady-state flow dimensionless pressure is obtained by the analytical solution of the pressure equation based on the probe, the steady-state flow dimensionless pressure is substituted into the correlation between the probe coefficient determined in step S101 and the steady-state flow dimensionless pressure to calculate the probe coefficient.

[0055] For a radius of r p The effective probe radius is r e= r p / 1.414. In the model based on analytical solution, the effective probe radius is used. The determination of the effective probe radius needs to consider the influence of wellbore, probe shape, etc. on the descending flow. According to the correlation between the probe coefficient and the dimensionless pressure of steady flow, the probe coefficient of the circular probe can be calculated.

[0056] For elliptical probes, the dimensionless analytical solution of the line source pressure equation can be used to obtain the dimensionless pressure of steady flow, and then the probe coefficient of the elliptical probe can be determined based on the correlation between the probe coefficient and the dimensionless pressure of steady flow and the dimensionless pressure of steady flow. Among them, the dimensionless analytical solution of the line source pressure equation has one more integral than the dimensionless analytical solution of the point source pressure equation.

[0057] (2) Method for obtaining probe coefficients based on the numerical solution of the reservoir simulation probe pre-test process: Among them, the numerical solution of the reservoir simulation probe pre-test process is the correlation between time and spherical flow pressure difference determined by numerical simulation of different probe types within different parameter ranges. Probe types can be divided according to the geometric shape and size of the probe. Using reservoir simulation software, a large number of numerical simulations are performed for different probe types within different parameter ranges; based on a large amount of simulation data, the maximum pressure of the spherical flow is determined (that is, the pressure of the spherical flow is extrapolated to time infinity); then the probe coefficient is determined based on the flow calculation method of steady-state flow.

[0058] Specifically, a large number of pre-test simulation cases were conducted under constant pumping flow conditions over a wide range of parameters using reservoir simulation software for different probe types. The correlation between time t and spherical flow pressure difference Δp was determined from the simulation case results, and then t was extrapolated to infinity to obtain the pre-test pressure difference Δp dd Since the pre-tested pressure difference Δp is known dd , fluidity m and pumping flow rate q, then the probe coefficient can be determined according to the correlation between the probe coefficient determined in step S101 and the pre-tested pressure difference.

[0059] Taking several probe types as examples, the following compares the results of the probe coefficient acquisition method based on the analytical solution of the pressure equation of the probe and the probe coefficient acquisition method based on the numerical solution of the reservoir simulation probe pre-test process.

[0060] For a standard circular probe, the schematic diagram of a standard circular probe can be as follows: Figure 4As shown. The probe coefficient obtained by the analytical solution of the pressure equation based on the probe is 2424. In order to verify the difference between the analytical solution and the numerical solution of the reservoir simulation probe pre-test process, the pre-test numerical simulation was carried out under the conditions of formation permeabilities of 1000mD, 100mD, 10mD and 1mD respectively, with the pumping flow rate being a constant value. The log-log plot of the pressure difference and its derivative versus time during the pressure drop process is shown as follows: Figures 5 to 8 As shown, Figures 5 to 8 The solid line in is the result of analytical solution, and the dots and diamonds are the results of numerical solution of reservoir simulation. Specifically, PTA_dP represents the pressure obtained based on analytical solution; PTA_dP' represents the derivative of pressure obtained based on analytical solution; ECL_dP represents the pressure obtained based on numerical solution; ECL_dP' represents the derivative of pressure obtained based on numerical solution. Figures 5 to 8 It can be seen that there are some differences between the analytical solution and the numerical solution in the initial short time; when the spherical flow is reached (the pressure difference derivative is -0.5), the difference between the two is very small.

[0061] The probe coefficient of the standard circular probe was tested using analytical and numerical solutions, and the results are shown in Table 1. Assuming that the probe coefficient of the standard circular probe is 2424, the fluidity and formation permeability can be calculated using the correlation between the fluidity of the pressure drop method and the steady-state flow pressure of the probe. Then, the calculated fluidity and the actual fluidity are compared, and the error between the two is calculated. According to Table 1, the average error of the fluidity calculated using the analytical solution is less than 0.2%; the average error of the fluidity calculated using the numerical solution is less than 3.8%. The results are satisfactory.

[0063] For the large suction port elliptical probe, the schematic diagram of the large suction port elliptical probe can be as follows: Fig. 9 As shown. The probe coefficient obtained by the analytical solution of the pressure equation based on the probe is 741. In order to verify the difference between the analytical solution and the numerical solution of the reservoir simulation probe pre-test process, the pre-test numerical simulation was carried out under the conditions of formation permeabilities of 1000mD, 100mD, 10mD and 1mD respectively, with the pumping flow rate being a constant value. The log-log plot of the pressure difference and its derivative versus time during the pressure drop process is shown in Figures 10 to 13 As shown, Figures 10 to 13The solid line in is the result of analytical solution, and the dots and diamonds are the results of numerical solution of reservoir simulation. Specifically, PTA_dP represents the pressure obtained based on analytical solution; PTA_dP' represents the derivative of pressure obtained based on analytical solution; ECL_dP represents the pressure obtained based on numerical solution; ECL_dP' represents the derivative of pressure obtained based on numerical solution. Figures 10 to 13 It can be seen that there are some differences between the analytical solution and the numerical solution in the initial short time; when the spherical flow is reached (the pressure difference derivative is -0.5), the difference between the two is very small.

[0064] The probe coefficient of the large suction elliptical probe was tested using analytical and numerical solutions, and the results are shown in Table 2. Assuming that the probe coefficient 741 of the probe is true, the fluidity and formation permeability can be calculated using the correlation between the fluidity of the pressure drop method and the steady-state flow pressure of the probe, and then the calculated fluidity and the actual fluidity are compared, and the error between the two is calculated. According to Table 2, the average error of the fluidity calculated using the analytical solution is less than 0.6%; the average error of the fluidity calculated using the numerical solution is less than 5.1%. The results are satisfactory.

[0066] For the extra-large suction oval probe, the schematic diagram of the extra-large suction oval probe can be as follows Fig.14 As shown. The probe coefficient obtained by the analytical solution of the pressure equation based on the probe is 570. In order to verify the difference between the analytical solution and the numerical solution of the reservoir simulation probe pre-test process, the pre-test numerical simulation was carried out under the conditions of formation permeabilities of 1000mD, 100mD, 10mD and 1mD respectively, with the pumping flow rate being a constant value. The log-log plot of the pressure difference and its derivative versus time during the pressure drop process is shown in Figures 15 to 18 As shown, Figures 15 to 18 The solid line in is the result of analytical solution, and the dots and diamonds are the results of numerical solution of reservoir simulation. Specifically, PTA_dP represents the pressure obtained based on analytical solution; PTA_dP' represents the derivative of pressure obtained based on analytical solution; ECL_dP represents the pressure obtained based on numerical solution; ECL_dP' represents the derivative of pressure obtained based on numerical solution. Figures 15 to 18 It can be seen that there are some differences between the analytical solution and the numerical solution in the initial short time; when the spherical flow is reached (the pressure difference derivative is -0.5), the difference between the two is very small.

[0067] The probe coefficient of the super-large suction elliptical probe was tested using analytical solutions and numerical solutions, and the results are shown in Table 3. Assuming that the probe coefficient of the super-large suction elliptical probe is 570, the fluidity and formation permeability can be calculated using the correlation between the fluidity of the pressure drop method and the steady-state flow pressure of the probe, and then the calculated fluidity and the actual fluidity are compared, and the error between the two is calculated. According to Table 3, the average error of the fluidity calculated using the analytical solution is less than 0.8%; the average error of the fluidity calculated using the numerical solution is less than 0.6%. The results are satisfactory.
