Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of natural gas development, and more particularly to a deepwater gas reservoir dynamic reserve calculation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The dynamic reserve refers to the total amount of natural gas that can be produced when all production wells produce to zero pressure drop based on the existing production process and mode. There are many existing methods for determining the dynamic reserve, which can be mainly divided into three categories according to different calculation principles: the first method is to calculate the dynamic reserve by using static pressure data based on the material balance principle; the second method is to calculate the dynamic reserve by using flow pressure data based on the gas seepage law; and the third method is to estimate the dynamic reserve by predicting the change of gas well production based on the production law of gas reservoirs. The first method is relatively simple and has high precision, and requires the shut-in well to restore to static pressure. Deepwater gas reservoirs are subject to development costs, and the formation pressure is generally good, so the time for the formation pressure to recover to static pressure is short, and therefore the first method is more practical. The second method is relatively complex, and commercial software is generally used. In addition, clear understanding of the formation permeability, reservoir distribution and heterogeneity, and skin factor of the gas well is required, so that the model can be reasonably selected to avoid multiple solutions. The third method has strong dependence on the production law, and has good effect on ideal homogeneous gas reservoirs in the decline period, but sometimes has large error when applied to actual gas reservoirs.

[0003] The material balance method has high applicability in deepwater gas reservoirs in terms of calculation principle and convenience. However, there is another difficulty in determining the dynamic reserve of deepwater gas reservoirs. Deepwater gas reservoirs are generally developed by using a unique method of combining a subsea wellhead with a sea pipe in series. The sea pipe is surrounded by seawater on the seabed, and the gas reservoir fluid needs to be transported through a long distance of sea pipe to reach the platform. The fluid is affected by the large change of environmental temperature and pressure, and there is a certain gap between the metering data on the platform and the gas reservoir environment, resulting in large calculation error of the dynamic reserve of deepwater gas reservoirs.

[0061] The deep water gas reservoir dynamic reserve calculation equation specifically is as follows:

[0062]

[0063] wherein, is the deep water gas reservoir dynamic reserve, and the unit is m 3 ; is the gas reservoir natural gas output, and the unit is m 3 ; is the gas reservoir natural gas remaining amount, and the unit is m 3 ; is the pore volume occupied by the remaining gas under current state, and the unit is m 3 ; is the natural gas volume coefficient in the gas reservoir under current state, and is dimensionless.

[0067] The relationship between the gas reservoir volume and the production under the original gas reservoir state and the state equation are introduced, and the modified deepwater gas reservoir dynamic reserve calculation equation is simplified, and the following formula is used for simplification:

[0068]

[0069] The simplest deepwater gas reservoir dynamic reserve calculation equation is obtained, and is as follows:

[0072] To obtain the volume change amount of the formation natural gas caused by the condensate water due to phase change in the production process, the gas well water production can be analyzed, and the condensate water production is converted to the volume under the temperature and pressure conditions of the gas reservoir. There are many methods to determine the content of natural gas condensate water, such as experimental determination, chart determination, state equation calculation and empirical formula method. Experimental determination is time-consuming and costly; chart determination is tedious and prone to human error; state equation calculation is based on oil-gas-water multiphase equilibrium theory and fluid thermodynamics balance principle, and the calculation process is complex; empirical formula is obtained by regression according to the measured data, although the calculation is simple and convenient, but due to the great difference of natural gas components in different regions, the use of empirical formula has limitations. Combining the characteristics of the above methods, the present application adopts empirical formula regression based on experiment, if there is no experimental condition, the appropriate formula can be selected according to the characteristics of natural gas components in the gas reservoir, in the embodiment, the volume change amount caused by condensate water is calculated by the following formula:

[0073]

[0074] Wherein, The volume change amount caused by condensate water is m 3 ; The wellhead natural gas production is m 3 ; The condensate water gas ratio is m 3 / 10 4 m 3 ; The correction coefficient is dimensionless; P is the current gas reservoir pressure, unit: MPa; T is the current gas reservoir temperature, unit: K. The salt content correction coefficient is dimensionless; The content of salt in the produced water is in percentage, the produced water is the water produced in addition to the condensate water, including formation water and movable water; C and D are constants. The correction coefficient is obtained by comparing the calculated value with the actual value after simulating the water-gas ratio data in the early stage of actual production, when the water-gas ratio is stable and the chloride content is low, and at the same time, the correction coefficient can be used to convert the condensate water production to the temperature and pressure conditions of the gas reservoir. The volume change amount caused by condensate water is corrected by using the correction coefficient, so that the calculation result of the dynamic reserves of the deepwater gas reservoir is more in line with the actual situation, so that the calculation of the dynamic reserves of the deepwater gas reservoir is more accurate.

[0075] The volume change amount caused by the expansion of the rock skeleton is calculated by the following formula:

[0076]

[0077] wherein, The volume change amount caused by the expansion of the rock skeleton is in m 3 ; The pore volume of the gas reservoir is in m 3 ; The rock pore volume compression coefficient is in MPa -1 ; The pressure drop of the gas reservoir is in MPa; The dynamic reserves of the deepwater gas reservoir are in m 3 ; The irreducible water saturation is dimensionless; The pressure under the original gas reservoir conditions is in MPa; The pressure under the current gas reservoir conditions is in MPa.

[0078] The volume change amount caused by the invasion of formation water is calculated by the following formula:

[0079]

[0080] wherein, The volume change amount caused by the invasion of formation water is in m 3 ; The volume of formation water in the gas reservoir is in m 3 ; The formation water compression coefficient is in MPa -1 ; The pressure drop of the gas reservoir is in MPa; The volume of formation water produced in addition to condensate water in the gas reservoir is in m 3 ; The formation water volume coefficient is dimensionless; The pore volume of the gas-bearing zone in the gas reservoir, in cubic meters (m³). 3 ; To constrain water saturation, it is dimensionless; This refers to the pore volume of the water zone in a gas reservoir, expressed in cubic meters (m³). 3 ; It is a multiple of the water volume and has no dimension.

This refers to the pore volume of the gas reservoir, in meters (m³). 3 ; Dynamic reserves of deep-water gas reservoirs, in cubic meters (m³). 3 .

[0081] Determining the amount of natural gas released from dissolved formation water essentially involves solving a phase equilibrium problem between the gas and water phases. The theoretical basis for this problem is Henry's law, which is often modified using the Krichevsky-Kasarnovsky equation under high-pressure conditions. The volume change caused by dissolved gas in water is calculated using the equation of state method, primarily based on the reservoir's pressure stability, the composition of water, and the composition of gas. In practical applications, the effectiveness of the equation of state varies significantly due to differences in temperature and pressure conditions, gas composition, and formation water properties. When the calculated value differs greatly from the experimental value, it is necessary to change the equation of state or adjust the Henry's constant to recalculate the amount of dissolved natural gas.

[0082] During production, gas reservoirs follow the laws of gas seepage, and the pressure distribution around the gas well exhibits a funnel shape, meaning the pressure drop is greater near the well and smaller further away. When the pressure drops below the dew point pressure, reverse condensation occurs in the gas reservoir. The amount of reverse condensation in the reservoir is closely related to the pressure distribution range. The volume change caused by reverse condensation is calculated using numerical simulation. Based on a component model, historical data is fitted to predict the formation pressure distribution and corresponding oil saturation during production, thus obtaining the amount of residual condensate oil precipitated in the gas reservoir.

[0083] After solving for the above unknowns, the simplest equation for calculating the dynamic reserves of deep-water gas reservoirs is solved using a trial-and-error method and a graphical method. The specific process is as follows:

[0084] Step 1: Perform parameter replacement on the simplified deep-water gas reservoir dynamic reserve calculation equation, specifically as follows:

[0086] Where A, B, and C are constants;

[0087] Step Two: Assumption Solve formula (2) to obtain the values ​​of A, B and C;

By using a trial-and-error method and a graphical method to solve the simplified equation for calculating the dynamic reserves of deep-water gas reservoirs, the dynamic reserves of deep-water gas reservoirs can be calculated more conveniently and intuitively.
