Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas extraction technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for determining in-depth well locations based on old well water ridge wave pattern. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most marine sandstone formations in the eastern South China Sea are in the mid-to-late stages of oilfield development, at a "high to ultra-high" water cut level, making continuous tapping of potential difficult. Many older wells are horizontal wells, and their large-scale use in the eastern South China Sea has ensured the rapid and efficient development of oilfields, highlighting the significant advantages of their extensive deployment and efficient development. However, this also presents challenges in predicting the impact range of horizontal wells and the remaining oil around them, especially for high water-cut reservoirs. Therefore, designing infill wells or sidetracking branches of older wells to achieve optimal development results and economic efficiency is crucial for the economic tapping of remaining oil in offshore oilfields. To avoid rapid water flooding after the commissioning of infill wells or sidetracking branches of older wells, accurate quantitative description of the water ridge morphology and extent of older wells is essential during the design phase.

[0003] However, existing methods for analyzing the sweep range of water ridges in horizontal wells are mostly based on empirical formulas for numerical model calibration and analysis of experimental data. They are often based on reservoir-level regularities. Given the heterogeneity of actual reservoirs and the large differences in production between different wells, there are limitations in accurately and quantitatively evaluating water ridges in actual single wells. There is still a lack of targeted inversion of water ridges for specific old wells. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Optionally, the step of calculating the correspondence between the dimensionless cumulative oil production and the dimensionless water ridge width and dimensionless water ridge height by combining water-drive oil displacement theory includes: expressing the cumulative oil production as N using water-drive oil displacement theory. p =VE d , where N P V represents the cumulative oil production of an old well at a certain moment, where V is the water drive volume and E is the total oil production. d The oil displacement efficiency; its dimensionless form is N. p ′=V′E d , Among them, N' p V' represents the cumulative dimensionless oil production of an old well at a certain moment, and E represents the dimensionless water drive volume. dFor oil displacement efficiency, K H ρ is the planar permeability, ρ is the density of formation water, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and μ is the groundwater density. o Let q represent the crude oil viscosity and q represent the flow rate.

The final volume can be obtained by combining the integral of the dimensionless oil-water interface morphology equation and the formulas for the volumes of solids of revolution and cylinders.

[0013] Where L′ is the dimensionless well length of the old well, V′ is the dimensionless water drive volume, and y G ′ is the dimensionless water ridge height, D′ is the dimensionless water ridge width, x′ is the dimensionless abscissa of any point at the oil-water interface, dx is the derivative, and K H Let ρ be the planar permeability, g be the density of formation water, μ0 be the acceleration due to gravity, q be the flow rate, and L be the length of the old well.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a method for determining the location of infiltrated wells based on an old well water ridge wavelet model, comprising the following steps:

[0031] S100: Obtain reservoir physical property parameters, fluid parameters, and production dynamic data of the target horizontal well's production layer.

[0032] Specifically, the reservoir physical parameters include oil layer thickness, water-avoidance height (i.e., the distance between the oil-water interface and the horizontal well), porosity, and permeability, which are obtained from development data such as oil well reservoir design documents; the fluid parameters include oil / water density, oil / water viscosity, and crude oil volume coefficient, which are obtained from development data such as fluid physical property analysis reports; and the production dynamic data includes the development date and the corresponding daily fluid production, daily water production, and water cut, which are exported from the oil well production dynamic data acquisition system.

[0033] S200, the relative permeability curve and oil displacement efficiency were obtained through core relative permeability experiments.

[0034] Specifically, the relative permeability curve is the relationship curve between the relative permeability of the oil phase and the water phase and the water saturation, and is called the oil-water two-phase relative permeability curve. As the water saturation increases, the relative permeability of the oil phase decreases and the relative permeability of the water phase increases. The oil displacement efficiency can be calculated by obtaining the initial water saturation and residual oil saturation through core tests.

[0035] S300. Determine the reservoir physical property parameters corresponding to the side-drilling based on the relative permeability curve, and calculate the water ridge height during side-drilling by combining the fluid parameters and the production dynamic data.

[0036] Specifically, taking a horizontal well in marine sandstone in the eastern South China Sea as an example, the following parameters are obtained: reservoir physical properties such as permeability, porosity, and water saturation; fluid parameters such as fluid density and viscosity; and production dynamic data such as daily oil production, daily fluid production, water cut, and bottom hole flowing pressure of the old well. Relative permeability curves are obtained through core permeability experiments, and the dimensionless fluid production index at the corresponding water cut is calculated during MRC sidetracking. The fluid production index at the initial production stage is calculated using the initial reservoir pressure and the bottom hole flowing pressure and flow rate data of the old well during the initial production stage. The fluid production index during sidetracking is then calculated in conjunction with the dimensionless fluid production index. Based on the flow rate, bottom hole flowing pressure, and fluid production index of the old well before sidetracking, the reservoir pressure during sidetracking is calculated, and then the decrease in reservoir pressure is compared to the decrease during production. The water ridge height during MRC sidetracking is calculated based on the initial oil column height of the old well before sidetracking, the decrease in reservoir pressure, and the density and gravity acceleration of the formation water.

[0037] S400. Substitute the water ridge height, the reservoir physical property parameters, the fluid parameters, and the production dynamic data into the horizontal well oil-water interface description formula. Normalize the formula to make it dimensionless. Combine the water drive theory with the oil displacement efficiency to calculate the correspondence between the dimensionless cumulative oil production and the dimensionless water ridge width and dimensionless water ridge height.

[0038] Specifically, by combining the cumulative oil production of old wells during MRC sidetracking, the dimensionless cumulative oil production and dimensionless oil column height are calculated. The oil displacement efficiency can be calculated by obtaining the initial water saturation and residual oil saturation through core tests. Substituting these values ​​into the aforementioned calculation formula, the relationship between dimensionless cumulative oil production and dimensionless water ridge width and dimensionless water ridge height can be obtained.

[0039] S500. Establish a data map comparison table of dimensionless cumulative oil production, dimensionless water ridge width, and dimensionless water ridge height, and determine the limit well spacing of the infill wells based on the data map comparison table.

[0040] S600. Based on the extreme well spacing, densify or regenerate branches of the target horizontal well.

[0041] Specifically, taking well 20H2 in a certain oil reservoir as an example, the initial water saturation was 0.2, the residual oil saturation was 0.26, and the calculated oil displacement efficiency of the reservoir was 0.56. Based on dynamic data, the water ridge height of well 20H2 during MRC sidetracking was calculated to be 10 meters, with a cumulative oil production of 146,000 cubic meters. The column corresponding to the initial oil column height was found in the reference table. The dimensionless water ridge width was determined based on the dimensionless cumulative oil production, and finally converted to the actual water ridge width, which was calculated to be approximately 125 meters. The area within half the water ridge width is the region most affected by the old well's water ridge. Taking the new branch at the old branch water ridge... The length within the width of / 2 is less than the total length * 0.25 as the limit. The length of the reconstructed branch within the large influence area is calculated based on the reconstructed branch length and the sidetracking angle, and this is used as the basis for evaluating whether the reconstructed branch design is reasonable. In this example, after final calculation, the design sidetracking branch lengths for the 20H2 well MRC are 548 meters and 743 meters, respectively. A sidetracking angle greater than 15° can achieve a better sidetracking effect. If it is necessary to densify the well network, the reasonable well spacing range should be greater than 1 / 2 the width of the old tributary ridge, i.e., 62.5 meters, so as to achieve the optimization evaluation of the location of the densified well or the MRC reconstructed branch well.

[0042] Understandably, by acquiring parameter information and dynamic data, obtaining the relative permeability curve and oil displacement efficiency through core relative permeability experiments, and then calculating the water ridge height during sidetracking, based on the horizontal well oil-water interface description formula, and through normalization deformation combined with water-drive theory, the relationship between dimensionless cumulative oil production and two variables—dimensional water ridge height and dimensionless water ridge width—is derived. Finally, the established data map is used to determine the limit well spacing of infill wells, and the target horizontal well is infilled or re-branched according to the limit well spacing. This method overcomes the limitations of conventional mainstream water ridge analysis methods, such as their narrow applicability and inability to provide accurate quantitative evaluation results for specific production wells. It is a more reasonable and effective method for old well sweep range analysis and re-branch design evaluation. This method can achieve accurate assessment of the water ridge sweep range of old wells in inter-well infilling and old well sidetracking MRC design, while guiding the optimization of infill well locations. It has good application prospects for the continuous tapping of potential in old oilfields in the high water-cut stage.
