Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heavy oil exploitation, and specifically to a method for optimizing injection parameters based on heat distribution. Background Art
[0002] With the inevitable and increasing depletion of conventional light oil reservoirs and the further prominence of the domestic crude oil supply-demand contradiction, heavy oil has become the main field of crude oil and an important part of reducing the external dependence on oil. Heavy oil is crude oil with a viscosity greater than 50 mPa·s under reservoir conditions or a viscosity greater than 100 mPa·s for surface degassed crude oil, and has the characteristics of high viscosity and high density. Compared with conventional light oil, heavy oil has a high content of gum and asphaltene, high viscosity and poor fluidity, resulting in a huge flow resistance in the formation, which is the root cause of the development problem of heavy oil.
[0003] Heavy oil has strong thermosensitive characteristics. It is generally believed that when the temperature rises by 10°C, the viscosity of heavy oil can be reduced by half. Therefore, thermal oil recovery occupies the dominant mode of heavy oil development, including steam stimulation, steam flooding, SAGD and other methods. Injecting high-quality and superheated steam into the formation to reduce the viscosity of heavy oil by transferring heat is the underlying logic of heavy oil thermal recovery. Reasonable utilization of steam is an essential link in heavy oil thermal recovery. Chinese Patent CN 117287164 A discloses a method and system for optimizing steam injection allocation in heavy oil exploitation in oilfields. By tracking historical development indicators and analyzing and evaluating the quality and effect of steam injection, steam injection parameters are determined. Chinese Patent CN 118673784 A discloses a method for optimizing steam stimulation parameters for heavy oil, determining the main control factors of steam injection parameters and geological parameters, and inputting them into a Bayesian neural network model to optimize the steam injection parameters. Chinese Patent CN 117927203 A discloses a method and related equipment for optimizing injection media and parameters for super heavy oil steam stimulation. By calculating the deficit volume, deficit rock characteristics and steam heat release, steam injection parameters are determined. The above optimizations of steam injection parameters for heavy oil thermal recovery all determine the steam injection parameters according to geological parameters and historical production characteristics, ignoring the relationship between the heat distribution after steam injection into the formation and the injection parameters, resulting in a low steam thermal utilization rate and ineffective use of heat. Heat is the core of heavy oil thermal recovery, heat distribution is the key to the effective utilization of steam heat, and also an important way to reduce costs and increase efficiency in heavy oil exploitation.
[0004] Therefore, when applying heavy oil thermal recovery technology, it is urgent to optimize the steam injection parameters according to the heat distribution characteristics of the reservoir, avoid the diminishing marginal effect, maximize the heat injected by steam, increase the amount of heavy oil produced per unit steam, and improve the overall efficiency of heavy oil exploitation. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a method for optimizing injection parameters based on heat distribution characteristics. During the heavy oil thermal recovery process, by calculating the heat distribution characteristics under different injection parameters, the optimal injection parameters are found to reduce the ineffective use of steam, improve the thermal efficiency, optimize the steam injection cost, and improve the development benefit.
[0006] A method for optimizing injection parameters based on heat distribution specifically includes the following steps:
[0007] S1. Establish a numerical model of the heavy oil thermal recovery reservoir;
[0008] S2. Input the steam injection parameters. The injected heat is divided into three parts: heat loss, heat carried by the produced fluid, and heat absorbed by the reservoir. The heat absorbed by the reservoir is further divided into a steam chamber, a condensation zone, a heating zone, and an unheated zone;
[0009] S3. Calculate the comprehensive heat utilization value according to the proportion of each injected heat in the total injected heat and its weight;
[0010] S4. Set different steam injection parameters, repeat steps S2 and S3, compare the comprehensive heat utilization values under different injection parameter conditions, and finally output the steam injection parameters corresponding to the maximum value of the comprehensive heat utilization value.
[0011] Preferably, according to the historical development data of the oilfield, the numerical model of the heavy oil thermal recovery reservoir is optimized by history matching;
[0012] During application, refer to the production situation of the reservoir in the target block of the oilfield to specify the model operating system. Analyze the historical production indicators and optimize the adjustable parameters within the adjustable range to obtain a numerical simulation model that conforms to the reservoir in the target block.
[0013] Furthermore, the steam injection parameters include steam injection rate, injection pressure, and steam quality.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S2, the heat loss refers to the heat absorbed by the reservoir caprock and the underlying formation, and the heat carried by the produced fluid refers to the heat carried by the fluid (oil, water) produced to the surface.
[0015] During the heavy oil development process, a high temperature is maintained in the formed steam chamber. The injected superheated high-quality steam enters the steam chamber, making the steam chamber have a high steam saturation characteristic; the steam exchanges heat with the cold oil at the edge of the steam chamber to form condensed water, and the condensation zone has a high water saturation characteristic. In step S2, in combination with the numerical model of the heavy oil thermal recovery reservoir in step S1, the reservoir is divided into a steam chamber, a condensation zone, a heating zone, and an unheated zone. The division criteria are as follows:
[0016] The area with a temperature higher than T is the steam chamber;
[0017] The T is the saturation vapor temperature corresponding to the reservoir pressure during production;
[0018] The area between the boundary M and the boundary N is the condensation zone;
[0019] The boundary M is the boundary with zero vapor saturation;
[0020] The boundary N is the boundary of the saturation vapor temperature corresponding to the reservoir pressure during production.
[0021] The heating area is obtained by subtracting the steam chamber and the condensation zone from the temperature rising area;
[0022] The area where the temperature does not rise is the unheated area.
[0023] Further, the specific process of the step S3 is as follows:

[0031] S3.3 The heat carried by the produced fluid can be calculated through the produced fluid rate and the produced fluid temperature. The produced fluid temperature is the temperature of the grid where the production well is located in the numerical model. The heat carried by the produced fluid and its proportion in the total injected heat are:
[0032] (4);
[0033] (5);
[0034] In the formula, Q carry is the heat carried by the produced fluid, kJ; C o is the specific heat capacity of formation oil, kJ / (kg·°C); C w is the specific heat capacity of formation water, kJ / (kg·°C); Q o is the cumulative oil production, m 3 ; Q w is the cumulative water production, m 3 ; ρ o is the crude oil density, kg / m 3 ; ρ w is the produced water density, kg / m 3 ; ΔT is the temperature difference between the grid where the production well is located and the formation temperature, °C; M carry is the proportion of the heat carried by the produced fluid.
[0035] S3.4 For the part absorbed by the reservoir, the heat in the condensation zone and its proportion in the total injected heat are calculated using the following formula:
[0036] (6);
[0037] (7);
[0038] Where Q con is the heat in the condensation zone, kJ; k1 is the number of grids corresponding to the condensation zone in the numerical simulation result; V ci is the volume of grid i in the condensation zone, m 3 ; ΔT ci is the temperature change value of grid i in the condensation zone, °C; is the porosity of grid i in the condensation zone; S coi is the oil saturation of grid i in the condensation zone; S cwi is the water saturation of grid i in the condensation zone; ρ s is the rock density, kg / m 3 ; C s is the specific heat capacity of the reservoir rock, kJ / (kg·°C); M con is the proportion of the heat carried by the produced fluid.

[0044] (10);
[0045] Furthermore, the calculation formula for the comprehensive heat utilization value (HEI) is:
[0046] (11);
[0047] Where, w 1 is the weight coefficient of the proportion of the heat in the condensation zone, w 2 is the weight coefficient of the proportion of the heat in the heating zone, w3 is the weight coefficient of the heat proportion in the steam chamber, w 4 is the weight coefficient of the heat loss proportion, w 5 is the weight coefficient of the heat carried by the produced fluid. The method for determining the weight coefficient is as follows: taking the internal rate of return as the target variable, establishing a multiple linear regression model of the heat proportion of each part and the target variable, and using the least squares method to determine the specific values of each weight.
[0048] Further, the w 1 、w 2 、w 3 、w 4 、w 5 need to meet the normalization condition and positive value constraint to ensure that the contributions of the heat proportions of each part are proportional and avoid unreasonable evaluation results caused by one item being too heavy.
[0049] Although the weight coefficient can be set through experience and theoretical analysis in the preliminary design, in actual applications, according to the geological characteristics of different reservoirs, steam injection methods and production requirements, the weight coefficient can be appropriately adjusted. Through numerical simulation, experimental verification and field application, the weight coefficient is optimized to improve the accuracy and practicability of the comprehensive heat utilization value (HEI).
[0050] Preferably, the reservoir applicable to the method for optimizing injection parameters based on heat distribution is a heavy oil reservoir for steam injection thermal recovery.
[0051] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0052] (1) The method provided by the present invention significantly improves the rationality and accuracy of heat distribution. In the prior art, the heat distribution during the steam injection process often lacks systematic optimization, resulting in the heat not being fully and effectively transferred to the oil layer. Especially in the steam chamber area, heat accumulation is serious, causing uneven heating effects. Different from the prior art, the present invention precisely controls the heat proportion of each area through a scientific heat distribution optimization method, ensuring that the heat is more concentrated in the effective heating area and the condensation area, maximizing the thermal recovery effect, and thus significantly improving the overall heat utilization efficiency.
[0053] (2) The method provided by the present invention effectively reduces heat loss and optimizes energy efficiency. In the prior art, heat loss is usually not given enough attention, resulting in a large amount of steam losing heat energy during the transmission process, affecting the economy of the thermal recovery process. The present invention can effectively identify and reduce heat loss by precisely calculating and optimizing the heat loss proportion, apply more heat effectively to oil layer heating, significantly reduce energy consumption, and improve energy efficiency.
[0054] (3) The method provided by the present invention breaks through the shackles of traditional steam injection parameters optimized only by production. The prior art adjusts injection parameters solely by increasing production, ignoring the rationality of heat distribution, resulting in diminishing marginal benefits. In contrast, the present invention proposes a more precise steam injection parameter optimization scheme by comprehensively evaluating the heat proportion in each region, achieving the maximum utilization of steam heat, thereby improving the oil reservoir recovery factor and enhancing the overall economic efficiency of the oilfield.

This oilfield block is a heavy oil reservoir with an average porosity of 32%, and the viscosity of crude oil at 50 °C is about 20,000 mPa·s. The development is difficult. The SAGD development method is adopted. Limited by on-site process measures, the fixed steam dryness is 0.8, the temperature is 250 °C, and the injection pressure is 0.7 MPa. It is necessary to optimize the steam injection rate.

[0068] A three-dimensional numerical model for heavy oil SAGD thermal recovery is established based on reservoir parameter information. Further, according to the historical production data of the field, historical fitting optimization is carried out on the numerical model of the heavy oil thermal recovery reservoir. The optimized three-dimensional numerical model of the heavy oil thermal recovery reservoir for SAGD thermal recovery is as shown in Figure 2 . In the figure, the color represents the top depth of the reservoir in each grid, and the top depth of the reservoir in the grid increases successively from top to bottom.
[0069] S2. Set the steam injection rate to 75 m 3 / d.

[0084] Furthermore, the heat carried by the fluid production can be calculated from the fluid production rate and the temperature of the produced fluid. The temperature of the produced fluid is the temperature at the grid of the production well in the numerical model. The heat carried by the fluid and its proportion of the total injected heat are calculated using the following formulas:
[0085] (4);
[0086] (5);
[0087] In the formula, Q carry is the heat carried by the produced fluid, kJ; C o is the specific heat capacity of formation oil, kJ / (kg·°C); C w is the specific heat capacity of formation water, kJ / (kg·°C); Q o is the cumulative oil production, m 3 ; Q w is the cumulative water production, m 3 ; ρ o is the crude oil density, kg / m 3 ; ρ w is the produced water density, kg / m 3 ; ΔT is the temperature difference between the grid where the production well is located and the formation temperature, °C; M carry is the proportion of the heat carried by the produced fluid.

[0104]
[0105] As can be seen from the above table, the comprehensive heat utilization value is positively correlated with the corresponding output of unit steam, which proves that the comprehensive heat utilization value calculated in this embodiment has a certain degree of accuracy. Through data comparison, it can be seen that increasing the steam injection rate increases the recovery degree. However, after increasing to a certain value, the steam injected into the formation is produced without effectively conducting heat, more heat goes to the produced fluid, and more heat accumulates in the steam chamber range, without effectively heating the formation fluid. As a result, after the steam injection rate increases to a certain value, the recovery degree is basically the same, but the corresponding output of unit steam decreases. According to the traditional method of optimizing parameters, parameters with a higher recovery degree are usually adopted, resulting in a low effective heat utilization rate and a decreasing marginal benefit. The method provided by the present invention precisely controls the heat proportion in each region, ensures that the heat is more concentrated in the effective heating area and the condensation area, maximizes the thermal recovery effect, and gives full play to the efficient utilization of steam heat.
