Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil reservoir transformation and production increase, and in particular to a method and system for alternating injection into low-pressure and low-permeability oil layers and replacing pressure drive with reverse self-drive. Background Art

[0002] my country's low-pressure and low-permeability oil reservoirs have rich reserve resources. However, due to the limitations of reservoir conditions and engineering technology, their development effect is poor, and the characteristics of low energy and low liquid are prominent. The main reason is that the reservoir seepage difficulties lead to slow pressure transmission and poor liquid supply, making the injection and production problems more significant. It is urgent to find new ways to supplement energy and improve recovery rates.

[0003] In response to the many problems existing in low-pressure and low-permeability reservoirs, the current pressure-driven transformation is mainly used in areas with a complete injection-production well network. Most of them inject oil-displacing liquids at a high speed and in large quantities through injection wells, and then shut down the wells to wait for the pressure to spread before starting production in production wells. For areas with imperfect injection-production well networks, the current pressure-driven transformation mainly adopts the transformation measures of injecting a large amount of pressure-driven liquid in the early stage and adding sand for fracturing in the later stage. The overall impact range is limited and the stable production effect is not ideal. Summary of the invention

[0011] Furthermore, the calculation formula for the soaking time includes:

[0012]

[0013] Where, t is the soaking time, Q is the total amount of injected liquid, μ is the viscosity of the displacement fluid, L is the length of the fracture, H is the height of the fracture, Ф is the reservoir porosity, and K is the total amount of injected liquid. m is the matrix permeability; P1 is the fracture pressure after fracturing; P2 is the matrix pressure, and a is the unit conversion factor.

[0031] Specifically, the oil displacement fluid system includes an oil displacement agent, a drag reducing agent and a clay stabilizer.

[0038] The oil displacement fluid system is injected into the low-pressure and low-permeability oil layer so that the formation pressure coefficient of the low-pressure and low-permeability oil layer increases by 0.05-0.1 and then stops. Then, a high-viscosity fracturing fluid is injected into the low-pressure and low-permeability oil layer so that the length of the fracture in the low-pressure and low-permeability oil layer increases by 30m-50m and then stops. The injection is repeated alternately.

[0039] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the displacement fluid system is first injected into the low-pressure and low-permeability oil layer, and the formation pressure coefficient is stopped after rising by 0.05-0.1, and then the construction is stopped when the high-viscosity fracturing fluid is injected into the low-pressure and low-permeability oil layer for the first time, and the construction is stopped when the length of the fracture increases to 60m, and then the displacement fluid system and the high-viscosity fracturing fluid are injected alternately, wherein each alternation condition is that the formation pressure coefficient rises by 0.05-0.1, and the fracture length increases by 30m-50m, until the formation pressure coefficient rises to 1.1 and the fracture length increases to the fourth preset threshold, and then the above-mentioned alternating injection process is stopped. The fourth preset threshold is a threshold set according to design requirements.

[0040] Finally, the soaking time is optimized according to the geological parameters and the total amount of injected liquid, so that the liquid injected into the oil layer can fully replace the crude oil in the porous medium. Specifically, the calculation formula for soaking time includes:

[0041]

[0042] Where, t is the soaking time, s; Q is the total amount of injected liquid, m 3 ; μ is the viscosity of the displacement fluid, mpa.s; L is the length of the fracture, m; H is the height of the fracture, m; Ф is the reservoir porosity, %; K m is the matrix permeability, μm 2 ; P1 is the fracture pressure after fracturing, MPa; P2 is the matrix pressure, MPa; a is the unit conversion factor, 1×10 -3 .

[0043] For example, after optimized calculation, the well-keeping time is 10 to 30 days.

[0044] From the above description, it can be seen that the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for alternating injection of reverse self-displacing pressure drive in low-pressure and low-permeability oil layers. In the process of reservoir transformation in areas with imperfect injection and production well networks, by repeatedly injecting oil-displacing liquid and sand fracturing into oil production wells at high pressure and high displacement and large liquid volume, the effective action distance of the oil-displacing liquid, the reservoir pressure coefficient and the length of the artificial fractures of sand fracturing are effectively increased under the same construction scale, the adsorption and retention of the oil-displacing liquid near the wellbore are reduced, and ultimately the maximum release of reservoir production capacity is achieved.
