Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas development, and in particular to a method and device for identifying and predicting dominant flow channels in injection and flooding of highly heterogeneous reservoirs. Background Art

[0002] The types of oil fields are complex and diverse. Most of the reservoirs are continental deposits. The natural energy of the reservoirs is weak, and the recovery rate of depletion development is low. Therefore, most of the reservoirs adopt the injection and drive development method to supplement the formation energy by injecting different media to achieve the effect of improving the recovery rate. However, due to the strong heterogeneity of continental sedimentary reservoirs, most of the injection and drive media are ineffectively circulated along the dominant seepage channels, which not only causes great economic losses, but also reduces the utilization of oil and gas data in the low permeability layer, which seriously restricts the efficient development of oil fields.

[0003] Existing methods for identifying and predicting the dominant flow channels include the injection-production dynamic method, interference well test method, gas chromatography, tracer detection, mathematical comparison method, etc. However, each of these methods has some problems, and it is difficult to balance stability, identification and prediction accuracy, and cost. The injection-production dynamic method has poor stability and is easily affected by other factors. The well test method will affect the normal production of the reservoir, the tracer detection cost is high, the chromatography method has a large workload, and the resistivity curve comparison method has a long identification time. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an identification and prediction method for the dominant flow channel of injection and flooding in strongly heterogeneous reservoirs, which can balance the stability, identification and prediction accuracy, and cost of the identification and prediction of the dominant flow channel of injection and flooding in strongly heterogeneous reservoirs. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the fact that the current methods for identifying and predicting the dominant seepage channel include the injection-production dynamic method, the interference well test method, the gas chromatography method, the tracer detection, the mathematical comparison method, etc., however, these identification and prediction methods each have some problems, and it is difficult to balance stability, identification and prediction accuracy and cost. The injection-production dynamic method has poor stability and is easily affected by other factors in terms of the accuracy of identification and prediction. The well test method will affect the normal production of the reservoir. The tracer detection cost is high, the chromatography method has a large workload, and the resistivity curve comparison method has a long identification and prediction time. This scheme is proposed to overcome the above problems or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0015] Determine whether the ratios at different sampling times exceed a preset threshold;

[0016] If the preset threshold is not exceeded, the injection medium does not flow along the dominant seepage channel;

[0017] If it exceeds the preset threshold, the injection medium will flow along the dominant seepage channel, and the target well will be tested for the production profile according to the occurrence of crossflow to obtain the corresponding dominant seepage channel.

[0018] Furthermore, if the preset threshold is exceeded, the injection medium flows along the dominant seepage channel, and according to the occurrence of the crossflow, the target well is tested for the production profile, and after the corresponding dominant seepage channel is obtained, the method further includes:

[0020] Further, the historical mineralization of the injection water samples of the predicted well and the target well at different sampling times and the historical mineralization of the produced water samples are obtained; wherein the predicted well and the target well are produced under the drive of the same injection well;

[0021] Calculate the historical ratios corresponding to the historical mineralization of the injected water samples and the historical mineralization of the produced water samples at different sampling times;

[0022] A fitting model is established by using the historical ratio, and a predicted time of the appearance of a dominant seepage channel in the well to be predicted is obtained according to the fitting model;

[0023] Verifying the predicted time according to the historical ratio, the crossflow occurrence of the target well, and the production correlation between the target well and the well to be predicted;

[0024] If the verification fails, the parameters of the fitting model are adjusted until the prediction time is verified and a prediction time that meets the verification conditions is obtained.

[0067] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in some embodiments of this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this specification, not all of the embodiments.

[0070] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this specification, certain software, components, models and other existing solutions in the industry may be mentioned, which should be regarded as exemplary. Their purpose is only to illustrate the feasibility of implementing the technical solution of this application, but it does not mean that the applicant has or will necessarily use the solution.

[0071] like Figure 1The schematic diagram of the implementation system of the method for identifying and predicting the dominant channel of flooding seepage in a strong heterogeneous reservoir according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which may include: a terminal 101 and a server 102, wherein the terminal 101 and the server 102 communicate with each other through a network, and the network may include a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), the Internet or a combination thereof, and is connected to a website, a user device (such as a computing device) and a back-end system. The staff may send a request for identifying and predicting the dominant channel of flooding seepage in a strong heterogeneous reservoir to the server 102 through the terminal 101, and after receiving the request for identifying and predicting the dominant channel of flooding seepage in a strong heterogeneous reservoir, the server 102 calls the data in the database for calculation and processing, obtains the identification and prediction result, and sends the processing result to the terminal 101, so that the staff can process the business according to the processing result.

[0074] In addition, it should be noted that Figure 1 What is shown is only an application environment provided by the present disclosure. In actual application, multiple terminals 101 may be included, and this specification does not limit this.

[0075] Figure 2It is a flow chart of the method for identifying and predicting the dominant flow channels of injection and flooding in highly heterogeneous reservoirs provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This specification provides the method operation steps described in the embodiment or flow chart, but more or fewer operation steps may be included based on conventional or non-creative labor. The order of steps listed in the embodiment is only one way of executing the steps among many orders, and does not represent the only order of execution. When the system or device product is executed in practice, it can be executed in the order or in parallel according to the method shown in the embodiment or the accompanying drawings. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, applied to the above-mentioned server side, the method may include:

[0076] S201: Obtaining injected water samples and produced water samples corresponding to the target well;

[0077] S202: Determine the ion composition corresponding to the injected water sample and the produced water sample;

[0078] S203: Calculating the mineralization of the injected water sample and the mineralization of the produced water sample according to the ion composition using a preset classification standard;

[0079] S204: Analyze the correlation between the mineralization of the injected water sample and the mineralization of the produced water sample at different sampling times, so as to obtain the corresponding dominant seepage channel according to the correlation.

[0080] The embodiments of the present specification first automatically obtain the injection water sample and the produced water sample corresponding to the target well, and determine the ion composition information of the injection water sample and the produced water sample. On the basis of the obtained ion composition, the preset classification standard is used to calculate the mineralization of the injection water sample and the mineralization of the produced water sample, so as to automatically analyze the correlation between the mineralization of the injection water sample and the mineralization of the produced water sample at different sampling times, so as to judge the dominant seepage channel of the injection and flooding of the strong heterogeneous oil reservoir according to the correlation relationship, and obtain the corresponding dominant seepage channel, thereby taking into account the stability, recognition prediction accuracy and cost of the identification and prediction of the dominant seepage channel of the injection and flooding of the strong heterogeneous oil reservoir.

[0081] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the reservoir can be developed by injection and flooding, and different media can be injected to supplement the formation energy, thereby achieving the effect of improving the recovery rate. However, due to the strong heterogeneity of continental sedimentary reservoirs, most of the injection and flooding media are ineffectively circulated along the dominant seepage channel, which not only causes great economic losses, but also reduces the utilization of oil and gas data in the low permeability layer, thereby seriously restricting the efficient development of the oil field.

[0082] Specifically, in some embodiments, in the field of identification and prediction of dominant seepage channels, the on-site emphasis is placed on the study of crude oil testing data, mainly through the relationship between produced oil and produced water (water content) to qualitatively judge the dominant channel, while ignoring the use of injection and production water data, and not conducting source tracing analysis on the produced water from production wells, that is, whether the produced water is mainly original formation water or water injected from injection wells during the development process.

[0083] In some embodiments, when obtaining the injection water sample and the produced water sample corresponding to the target well, the storage container needs to be rinsed at least 3 times with the water sample taken at the sampling point during sampling. At the same time, the water sample is filled to overflowing in the container and sealed during sampling to reduce interference caused by the reaction of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air and vibration interference during sample transportation. Generally, during the sampling and storage process, 500ml to 1000ml of sample can meet the needs of most physical and chemical analyses, and sometimes more large samples or multiple samples are required. At the same time, before sampling, it is also necessary to stick a label written in waterproof ink on the sampler. The sample label contains at least sample information, sampler, sampling point, analysis requirements, sampling conditions, sampling date and sampling time, so as to ensure that the information of the injection water sample and the produced water sample corresponding to the target well is accurate and effective.

[0084] Further, in some embodiments, after obtaining the injected water sample and the produced water sample, it is necessary to determine the ion composition corresponding to the injected water sample and the produced water sample. Specifically, in some embodiments, Na + , K + , Ca 2+ Mg 2+ 、SO 4 2- , Cl - Ions can be determined by ion chromatography; the ion concentration can be determined by analyzing the peak height and peak area of ​​the ion in the ion chromatogram and the corresponding standard working curve. 3 2- , HCO 3 - Anions can be determined by potentiometric titration. This method uses a glass electrode as an indicator electrode, a calomel electrode as a reference electrode, and an acid standard solution for titration. The endpoint is determined by a potentiometric titrator. 100 ml of water sample is titrated with a hydrochloric acid standard solution. When the pH is titrated to 8.3, the first endpoint is reached. The consumption of the hydrochloric acid standard solution is recorded. The hydrochloric acid standard solution is continued to be titrated to pH 4.4-4.5. The second endpoint is reached. The consumption of the hydrochloric acid standard solution is recorded. A titration curve of pH value versus the amount of acid standard titrant is drawn during titration, and then the content of the corresponding component is calculated.

[0085] Furthermore, in some embodiments, for highly heterogeneous oil reservoirs, the preset classification standard is the Sulin classification standard. The Sulin classification method can link the chemical composition of groundwater with its natural environmental conditions, and use different water types to represent different geological environments. It is suitable for the identification and prediction of dominant seepage channels in highly heterogeneous oil reservoirs.

[0086] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the mineralization of the injected water sample and the mineralization of the produced water sample are calculated according to the ion composition using a preset classification standard, including:

[0087] Cations and anions corresponding to the Sulin classification standard are selected from the ion composition, and the mineralization of the injected water sample and the mineralization of the produced water sample are calculated based on the selected results.

[0088] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the difference between the mineralization of the injected water sample and the mineralization of the produced water sample can be used to predict the dominant seepage channel, and the cations and anions based on the Surin classification standard can accurately reflect the characteristics of the sample, ensuring the accuracy of the calculated mineralization of the injected water sample and the mineralization of the produced water sample.

[0089] Refer to the attached Figure 3 In some embodiments, analyzing the correlation between the mineralization of the injected water sample and the mineralization of the produced water sample at different sampling times to obtain the corresponding dominant seepage channel according to the correlation may include:

[0090] S301: Calculating the ratio between the mineralization of the injected water sample and the mineralization of the produced water sample at different sampling times;

[0091] S302: Determine whether the ratios at different sampling times exceed a preset threshold;

[0092] S303: If the preset threshold is not exceeded, the injection medium does not flow along the dominant seepage channel;

[0093] S304: If the preset threshold is exceeded, the injection medium flows along the dominant seepage channel, and a fluid production profile test is performed on the target well according to the occurrence of the crossflow to obtain the corresponding dominant seepage channel.

[0094] It can be understood that in some embodiments, in typical embodiments, the sampling time can be in months to fully ensure the richness of the data. The unit of the sampling time is not specifically limited in this article. Then, the ratio between the salinity of the injected water sample and the salinity of the produced water sample at different sampling times is calculated. Whether the injection medium flows along the dominant seepage channel is determined based on whether the ratio exceeds a preset threshold. Specifically, the preset threshold is determined based on the geological characteristics of the highly heterogeneous reservoir. In some embodiments, the preset threshold The common value of is 0.85. If the difference between the mineralization of the injected water sample and the produced water sample is large, that is, the ratio of the mineralization is less than 0.85, it means that the injection medium has not flowed along the dominant seepage channel. If the difference between the mineralization of the injected water sample and the produced water sample is small, that is, the ratio of the mineralization is greater than 0.85, it means that the injection medium has flowed along the dominant seepage channel. At this time, it is necessary to conduct a production profile test on the target well according to the occurrence of crossflow to obtain the dominant seepage channel corresponding to the target well.

[0095] Furthermore, in some embodiments, if the preset threshold is exceeded, the injection medium flows along the dominant seepage channel, and according to the occurrence of the crossflow, the target well is tested for the production profile, and after the corresponding dominant seepage channel is obtained, the method further includes:

[0096] The dominant seepage channel is blocked to ensure normal production of the target well.

[0097] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, after the dominant seepage channel is identified, it needs to be blocked to prevent it from interfering with the normal production of the target well while ensuring production safety. Furthermore, in some embodiments, other seepage dominant channel identification methods can be used to re-evaluate the identified seepage dominant channel before blocking to ensure the accuracy of the identified seepage dominant channel and the effectiveness of the blocking operation.

[0098] Refer to the attached Figure 4 , in some embodiments, may further include:

[0099] S401: Obtain the historical mineralization of the injected water samples of the predicted well and the historical mineralization of the produced water samples at different sampling times;

[0100] Wherein, the well to be predicted and the target well are produced under the drive of the same injection well;

[0101] S402: Calculate the historical ratios corresponding to the historical mineralization of the injected water sample and the historical mineralization of the produced water sample at different sampling times;

[0102] S403: establishing a fitting model using the historical ratio, and obtaining a predicted time for the occurrence of a dominant seepage channel in the well to be predicted according to the fitting model;

[0103] S404: verifying the predicted time according to the historical ratio, the crossflow occurrence of the target well, and the production correlation between the target well and the well to be predicted;

[0104] S405: If the verification fails, the parameters of the fitting model are adjusted until the prediction time is verified and a prediction time that meets the verification conditions is obtained.

[0105] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, for a certain well, the historical mineralization of the injected water samples at different sampling times and the historical mineralization of the produced water samples can be used to predict whether the well will have a dominant seepage channel. Specifically, the well to be predicted and the target well are produced under the drive of the same injection well. Therefore, when making a prediction, the injected water sample obtained by sampling from the same injection well can be used.

[0106] Furthermore, in some embodiments, after obtaining the historical mineralization of the injected water samples of the predicted well and the historical mineralization of the produced water samples at different sampling times, the historical ratios corresponding to the historical mineralization of the injected water samples and the historical mineralization of the produced water samples at different sampling times can be calculated, so as to establish a fitting model based on the historical ratios, and predict the future ratios based on the fitting model to determine whether the future ratios exceed a preset threshold. If they do not exceed the preset threshold, the injection medium does not flow along the dominant seepage channel. If they exceed the preset threshold, it means that the injection medium flows along the dominant seepage channel. Based on the future time corresponding to the future ratio that exceeds the preset threshold, the predicted time for the appearance of the dominant seepage channel in the predicted well is obtained.

[0107] Furthermore, in some embodiments, after obtaining the predicted time for the appearance of a dominant seepage channel in the well to be predicted, in order to ensure the validity of the predicted time, the predicted time can be verified based on historical ratios, the occurrence of crossflow in the target well, and the production correlation between the target well and the well to be predicted. If the verification fails, the parameters of the fitting model are adjusted until the prediction time is verified and a prediction time that meets the verification conditions is obtained. This article does not limit the specific fitting algorithm of the fitting model.

[0108] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the occurrence of crossflow in the target well is obtained by monitoring the working conditions of the work area, and the production correlation between the target well and the well to be predicted is obtained by performing a correlation analysis on the target well and the well to be predicted. When verifying the prediction time, it is necessary to establish a verification model in advance. The verification model performs a regression analysis on the historical ratios, the occurrence of crossflow in the target well, and the production correlation and prediction time between the target well and the well to be predicted to determine the intrinsic correlation between the historical ratios, the occurrence of crossflow in the target well, and the production correlation and prediction time between the target well and the well to be predicted, so as to verify the prediction time and optimize the fitting model.

[0109] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, this specification gives a typical embodiment. The permeability variation coefficient of the highly heterogeneous reservoir is 0.77. Figure 5 The well network distribution diagram corresponding to the highly heterogeneous oil reservoir is shown, wherein the letter P represents the well, the number after P represents the sequence number of the well, P3 is the injection well, P7 is the production well to be predicted when crossflow will occur, and P12 is the production well where crossflow has occurred.

[0110] First, the corresponding injection water samples were obtained according to P3, and the corresponding produced water samples were obtained according to P7 and P12, respectively, with the sampling time being 2006-2022; then, the corresponding ion composition of the injection water samples and the produced water samples was determined; the mineralization of the injection water samples and the mineralization of the produced water samples were calculated based on the Sulin classification method. Specifically, there are many methods for the classification of formation water types, such as the Sulin classification method, the Brodsky classification method, the Shukarev classification method, etc. Among them, the Brodsky classification method is relatively cumbersome, and the exact content of the chemical components in the water cannot be understood by naming; the Shukarev classification method does not consider the primary and secondary relationship when there are more than two cations (or anions) with a molar percentage greater than 25%. The Sulin classification method links the chemical composition of groundwater with the natural environmental conditions in which it is located, and uses different water types to represent different geological environments. It is suitable for the identification and prediction of the dominant channels of injection and flooding in strongly heterogeneous reservoirs. For the produced water sample of P12 in 2006, the cation Na required by the Sulin classification method + , K + Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ , anion Cl - 、SO 4 2- , HCO 3 - and CO 3 2- The corresponding mineralization is calculated to be 24362.90 mg / L. The specific produced water samples are shown in Table 1.

[0111] Table 1 Results of water quality analysis of produced water from well P12 in 2006

[0112]

[0113] After obtaining the mineralization of the injected water sample and the produced water sample, it is necessary to analyze the mineralization of the injected water sample and the produced water sample. For the convenience of intuitive analysis, the absolute sampling time (2006-2016) can be used as the horizontal axis, and the mineralization of the produced water of the production well P12 and the injected water of the injection well P3 can be used as the vertical axis to draw a bar graph of the mineralization of the produced water sample and the injected water sample and the absolute sampling time, as shown in the figure. Figure 6 As shown, it can be seen that the mineralization of the injected water of injection well P3 and the produced water of production well P12 in 2009 is similar, with a ratio of 0.88, 0.88>0.85. It can be preliminarily judged that there is a dominant seepage channel between P3 and P12 wells; the production profile test of P12 well was carried out, and the test results are shown in Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the results show that the absolute liquid production of S2-Ⅰ layer is 81.9m 3 , the relative liquid production is 77.19%, and the S2-Ⅰ layer of P3 and P12 wells is the dominant seepage channel. This result is consistent with the result obtained by the method described in the embodiment of the present invention, proving the reliability of the method. In some embodiments, in order to ensure the normal production of the oil well, the S2-Ⅰ layer needs to be plugged.

[0114] Furthermore, in order to facilitate intuitive analysis and prediction of when crossflow may occur in P7, the relative sampling time corresponding to the absolute sampling time of 2006 is taken as 0 year, 2007 corresponds to 1 year, and so on to 2016 as 10 years, which are used as the horizontal axis; the mineralization ratio of the produced water of the production well P7 and the injected water of the injection well P3 is used as the vertical axis, and a scatter plot of the mineralization ratio of the produced water sample and the injected water sample and the relative sampling time is drawn, as shown in the figure below: Figure 8 As shown in the figure, before P12 plugging, there are three independent scattered points. After P12 plugging, the fitted dashed curve corresponding to the scattered points can be expressed as y = 0.801ln(x) + 3.11. Let y = 1, and the solution is x = 13.93, indicating that without changing the construction system, the well will have a dominant seepage channel within 4 years (i.e., 2020). At the same time, the prediction results are verified by combining numerical simulation technology, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the oil saturation of the S3-Ⅱ layer between the injection well P3 and the production well P7 in 2020 is 0.08, that is, the water saturation is 0.92, indicating that the injected water in 2020 flows from the injection well P3 to the production well P7 along the dominant seepage channel (S3-Ⅱ).
