Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development, and in particular to a numerical simulation characterization method and system based on a pressure-driven oil-increasing mechanism in a low-permeability oil field. Background Art

[0002] Low-permeability oil reservoirs have abundant reserves, but their reservoir properties are poor and pressure transmission is slow. Conventional fracturing, water flooding, and chemical flooding methods have led to a series of problems, including generally poor inter-well connectivity, slow energy replenishment, low single-well productivity, and poor development results. In response to this situation, domestic oil and gas companies have proposed integrated fracturing and oil recovery technology, also known as "pressure drive," through technical research. Pressure drive technology is an oil reservoir development technology that organically combines single-well fracturing production enhancement technology, conventional water flooding development technology, and chemical oil recovery technology. Through hydraulic fracturing equipment, clean water and oil recovery agents are injected into the formation at high pressure and high speed, rapidly replenishing reservoir energy and increasing reservoir pressure in a short period of time. This allows for the opening of micro-cracks, increased porosity and permeability, imbibition and oil replacement, and oil recovery by oil recovery agents, among other pressure drive mechanisms, to improve the recovery rate of low-permeability oil reservoirs.

[0003] Pressure flooding is a reservoir development and production enhancement technology that utilizes multiple coupled mechanisms to increase oil production. High-volume, high-pressure water injection increases pore fluid pressure around the wellbore, replenishing formation energy, expanding pore size, and improving reservoir permeability. When the injection pressure approaches the formation's fracture pressure, natural microfractures and cracks near the wellbore open, allowing the injected water to penetrate deeper into the reservoir, effectively expanding the affected area and the contact surface between the injected water and the formation crude oil, enhancing the effects of imbibition and oil replacement, as well as the oil displacement agent's oil-washing effect.

[0004] The key to pressure-driven oil production lies in optimizing the injection parameters. Clarifying the applicable scopes and extent of oil production enhancement for different pressure-driven oil production mechanisms plays a crucial role in guiding parameter optimization. Current research on pressure-driven oil production mechanisms lags significantly behind field practice. Pressure-driven process design is primarily based on empirical experience, with no specific numerical simulation methods for pressure-driven oil production, and a lack of coupled characterization tools for multiple pressure-driven oil production mechanisms.

[0087] Specifically, an embodiment of the present invention provides a numerical simulation characterization method based on the pressure-driven oil production mechanism of a low-permeability oil field. First, based on the geological model and mechanical model of the target low-permeability oil field, numerical simulation and history matching of the reservoir are carried out, so that the constructed numerical simulation model of the reservoir can characterize the production characteristics of the target low-permeability oil field. When simulating the pressure-driven process, the designed pressure-driven injection liquid displacement and total liquid volume are injected. Based on the fluid pressure-ground stress-physical property coupling equation group, the reservoir fluid pressure-ground stress-physical property changes caused by the injected liquid are calculated, and the time-varying ground stress field and porosity-permeability time-varying mechanism are simulated. Based on the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion and the fluid pressure-ground stress-physical property coupling equation group, the dynamic expansion parameters of the pressure-driven cracks in the pressure-driven process of the target low-permeability oil field are calculated, and the expansion mechanism of the fracturing cracks is simulated. The changes in formation pressure and fluid surfactant concentration caused by the external liquid cause real-time changes in the phase permeability and capillary force curves, thereby simulating the time-varying phase permeability and imbibition replacement mechanism.

[0088] The embodiment of the present invention provides a numerical simulation characterization method based on the pressure-driven oil-increasing mechanism of low-permeability oil fields. According to the pressure-driven characteristics of low-permeability oil layers, a time-varying ground stress field, a time-varying porosity field, a time-varying permeability field, dynamic expansion of pressure-driven cracks, attenuation of fracture conductivity, a dynamic phase permeability curve, and a dynamic capillary force curve model are established. Multiple pressure-driven oil-increasing mechanisms such as time-varying ground stress, time-varying porosity and permeability, time-varying phase permeability, and imbibition and replacement are coupled and characterized to improve the accuracy of pressure-driven simulation. This provides a theoretical basis and numerical simulation method for pressure-driven technology of low-permeability oil reservoirs, and is of great significance to well selection and pressure-driven parameter optimization design for pressure-driven low-permeability oil layers.

[0089] Example 2

[0090] The embodiment of the present invention takes the successful pressure drive test of a well in the existing target low-permeability oil reservoir block A and the need to establish an oil reservoir numerical simulation model as an example to illustrate the application process of the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

[0091] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another numerical simulation characterization method based on the pressure-driven oil-increasing mechanism of low-permeability oil fields provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0092] Step 1: Establish a fluid pressure-in-situ stress-physical property coupling equation system based on the full stress tensor; use Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio to define the elastic characteristics of the rock, and calculate the time-varying porosity field based on the time-varying in-situ stress field; use 4 cores to conduct pressure drive experiments, and obtain the relationship between permeability retention coefficient and stress as shown in the following figure: Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the time-varying permeability field is calculated based on the time-varying in-situ stress field; the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion, Griffiths criterion, expansion criterion, etc. are introduced to calculate the dynamic extension length and orientation of the pressure-driven cracks in the pressure-driven process based on the time-varying in-situ stress field, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, etc. The crack calculation flow chart is shown in the figure. Figure 4 shown.

[0093] Step 2: Conduct a long-term fracture conductivity test. The experimental results show that the conductivity decreases rapidly in the early stage of fracture closure and decreases slowly in the later stage. The overall change conforms to the exponential law. Normalize the experimental results and establish a fracture conductivity attenuation function according to the exponential decrease law. The function curve is as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0094] Step 3: Perform the non-steady-state relative permeability curve test under water flooding / surfactant flooding conditions to obtain the relative permeability curve under water flooding / surfactant flooding conditions as shown in the figure below: Figure 6 As shown in the figure, a dynamic phase permeability curve with surfactant concentration as the independent variable was established; mercury intrusion tests were conducted, and the injection / flowback capillary force data were obtained as shown in the figure. Figure 7 As shown in FIG, the relationship curve between surfactant concentration and interfacial tension obtained by interfacial tension test is used to establish a dynamic capillary force curve that takes into account both surfactant oil enhancement and imbibition displacement oil enhancement.

[0095] Step 4: Based on the existing static geological and fluid data of the mine, combined with the time-varying geostress field, time-varying porosity field, time-varying permeability field, dynamic expansion of pressure-driven fractures, attenuation of fracture conductivity, dynamic phase permeability curve, and dynamic capillary force curve, a pressure-driven fine reservoir numerical simulation model is established.

[0096] Perform history matching such as Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the conventional numerical model fitting results (such as Figure 9 (as shown). A comparison shows that conventional numerical models require extensive human intervention and produce inaccurate fits. The reservoir numerical simulation model developed by this invention incorporates experimental results on time-varying porosity and permeability, couples them with time-varying geostress, sets the fracturing fluid volume according to actual construction parameters, and automatically simulates and generates a fracture network, improving the fitted production rate. The addition of a fracture conductivity attenuation function improves the fitted bottomhole pressure, significantly reducing human intervention. The historical fitting results are more accurate, validating the accuracy of the refined numerical model that couples multiple pressure-driven mechanisms.

[0097] Based on the constructed numerical model, the production capacity contribution of the oil-increasing mechanism was analyzed. The specific simulation scheme design is shown in Table 1, and the numerical simulation results are shown in Table 2.
