[0002] In the Middle East, most of the oil-bearing reservoirs are strong heterogeneous layered limestone reservoirs, and high-permeability thief zones are generally developed at the top, which causes the water injected from the lower part of the reservoir (straight well or horizontal well) to rapidly channel into the upper part of the reservoir, and then rush to the top of the reservoir along the high-permeability strip. The water is mainly maintained in the upper high-permeability layer, and the injection water is generally "lifted" or "water cone" is inverted. The sweep efficiency of the lower part of the reservoir is very low, and the remaining oil development potential is large. Most of the heterogeneous reservoirs use the development mode of horizontal well top production and bottom injection.

[0039] Example one

[0040] The embodiment one of the application provides a water injection development water control method for a heterogeneous reservoir, and the flowchart thereof is shown in the figure, which comprises the following steps: Figure 1 The steps are as follows:

[0041] Step S11: According to the position relationship between the well trajectory and the high permeability layer and the water content and the recovery degree included in the single well dynamic development data, the water control object is selected from the reservoir horizontal oil well, and classification and sorting are performed.

[0042] Firstly, according to the single well dynamic development data, the production well development effect and the water content change law are analyzed, the differences in the single well effect are determined, the development indexes such as water content, cumulative oil production and recovery degree are counted, the single well water content and recovery degree curve is drawn according to the water content and the recovery degree included in the single well dynamic development data, and the classification analysis is performed, the water content rising type of the reservoir horizontal oil well is classified according to the curve characteristics, which is divided into the slow water content rising type (type 1), the rapid water flooded and high water content slow rising type (type 2), the rapid water flooded and high water content slow rising type (type 3), the sudden water flooded and high water content slow rising type (type 4) and the sudden water flooded and high water content rapid rising type (type 5), and the above types can be further divided.

[0043] The corresponding relationship between the water cut rising type and the influencing factors, including high permeable layer, fracture, high viscosity oil, bottom water and well trajectory, is determined.

[0044] Based on the classification results of the water cut rising type and the corresponding relationship between the water cut rising type and the influencing factors, the water control objects are selected from the horizontal oil wells in the reservoir according to the position relationship between the well trajectory and the high permeable layer and the water cut, and the classification and the difficulty degree of the regulation and control are performed.

[0045] Type 1: the water cut slowly rising type is closely related to the avoidance of the high permeable layer by the horizontal well trajectory, Type 2: the fast water flooding + high water cut slowly rising type is closely related to the 1 / 4-1 / 3 oblique penetration of the high permeable layer by the horizontal well trajectory, Type 3: the fast water flooding + water cut quickly rising type is closely related to the 1 / 3-2 / 3 well trajectory close to the high permeable layer, Type 4: the sudden channeling water flooding + high water cut slowly rising type is closely related to the high viscosity oil and the 2 / 3 well trajectory close to the high permeable layer or above the high permeable layer, and Type 5: the violent water flooding + high water cut quickly rising type is usually the horizontal well located in the fracture bottom water area and the oil leakage during the drilling process. In terms of the difficulty degree of the water control, Type 1> Type 2> Type 3> Type 4> Type 5, and in terms of the remaining potential, the current production situation is combined, and the production degree of the single well before the water control is mainly considered. In general, the oil well development effect is better in Type 1, and the water control is not needed at the present stage, and the water control in Type 5 is difficult to be artificially intervened due to the influence of the fracture and the natural bottom water, and is not within the range of the water control. On this basis, the oil wells with the water cut more than 80% and more than 90% in Type 2, Type 3 and Type 4 are taken out as the objects of the regulation and control of the high water cut wells, the main control factors and the potential of the water cut rising of the high water cut wells are determined by using the reservoir engineering analysis means, the geological reserve production degree is taken as the remaining potential index, and the selected water control oil wells are classified:

[0046] (1) the horizontal oil well with the water cut greater than 90%, the geological reserve production degree less than 15% and the well trajectory obliquely penetrating the high permeable layer is taken as a first type of water control object.

[0047] (2) the horizontal oil well with the water cut not greater than 90%, the geological reserve production degree less than 20% and the well trajectory obliquely penetrating the high permeable layer is taken as a second type of water control object.

[0048] (3) the horizontal oil well with the water cut not greater than 90%, the proportion of the well trajectory in the high permeable layer greater than a set proportion or the distance between the well trajectory and the high permeable layer less than a set distance is taken as a third type of water control object.

[0049] That is, the horizontal oil well with the water cut not greater than 90% and the well trajectory mostly in the high permeable layer or close to the high permeable layer is taken as a third type of water control object.

[0050] (4) The horizontal well with water content not more than 90% and well trajectory above the high permeability layer is taken as a water control object of type 4.

[0051] The water control of the above-mentioned type 4 is from easy to difficult, and the remaining potential is from large to small, which provides priority for subsequent regulation.

[0052] Step S12: Based on the comparison with the resistivity curve of the passing well, the preliminary identification result of the water flow channel direction and the remaining oil enrichment position is obtained, and the water flooded degree and the water saturation before water injection of each water control object are determined.

[0053] In step S11, several types and potential sizes of high water content horizontal wells are determined, and the water flow channel direction and the remaining oil enrichment position are identified in step S12.

[0054] The passing well corresponding to each water control object is determined, the passing well is a well drilled in the same reservoir and the resistivity curve collection time is later than that of the corresponding water control object, and the passing well is connected with the corresponding water control object in the reservoir.

[0055] Due to the cost of logging, the same well may only collect logging data once; if the same horizontal well collects logging data multiple times, it can also be the comparison of logging curves of the same well.

[0056] A multi-dimensional three-dimensional water flooded layer quantitative interpretation model based on clustering sample learning is established, the water flooded characteristics are studied by using the difference of well logging resistivity of the passing well drilled in the target reservoir in different time periods and before water injection, and the water flooded mode and the injected water migration direction are determined. When comparing, the logging curve is transformed by referring to the layering result of each well to ensure that the top and bottom surfaces of the curves of the new and old wells are aligned.

[0057] When the resistivity of the new and old wells is more than 20% different, it is determined that the layer is water flooded. According to this standard, all the passing wells are analyzed, classified according to the water flooded characteristics, and the water flooded mode is summarized. Combined with the analysis of the horizontal distribution position of the high water content well in step S11, the water flow dominant channel direction of these high water content wells, the water content rising reason and mechanism are determined, the water flooded degree of the water flooded layer is from qualitative analysis to quantitative evaluation, and the water flooded characteristics of the horizontal well differentiation injection under different main control factors are determined. For example: in the reservoir with high permeability layer developed at the top and relatively good physical property at the layer position of the injection well, the horizontal well development mode of top production and bottom storage, affected by the high permeability thief layer, the main and secondary water flow channels exist in the "double inverted water cone" water flooded mode between the injection and production well groups, affected by the well trajectory, the horizontal plane remaining oil is unevenly distributed, and the vertical remaining oil is enriched in the lower part of a small layer. The high permeability layer is the channel of the injected water ineffective and inefficient circulation, and in the injection and production process, the injected water is easily concentrated near the high permeability layer of the horizontal well bore.

[0058] Through step S12, the water flow channel trend and the preliminary identification result of the remaining oil enrichment position are obtained, the water-out degree and the water saturation before water injection of each water control object are determined, but only the values of some monitoring points cannot fully support the judgment of the whole well area of the water control object well.

[0059] Step S13: Based on the preliminary identification result and the monthly data of the oil and water wells, the understanding of the remaining oil enrichment position is updated through the fitting of the dynamic numerical model, and the classification and ranking of the water control object are adjusted in combination with the water-out degree.

[0060] The monthly data of the oil and water wells is loaded into the dynamic numerical model by means of numerical simulation, the preliminary identification result obtained in step S12 is combined, the oil production, water content and pressure of the whole area and single well are fitted, and the saturation monitoring of the passing well points at different times is also fitted, the remaining oil enrichment position of the reservoir is determined according to the fitting result; the intersection relationship between the horizontal section of the water control object and the high permeability layer and the remaining oil enrichment position is analyzed, and the classification and ranking of the water control object are adjusted in combination with the water-out degree.

[0061] The water control objects of the high water content wells screened out in step S11 are marked in the dynamic model, the remaining oil plane and profile distribution drawings of these wells are obtained from the model, and the remaining oil enrichment position is determined. After a long time of water injection development, the scouring multiple of the high permeability layer is high, the water-out degree of the high permeability layer and the next high permeability layer above the high permeability layer is high, and the lower layer system which has large physical property difference with the high permeability layer has low water-out degree, low producing degree and large remaining oil potential, which is the main remaining oil enrichment position. Whether there is intersection relationship between the remaining oil enrichment position, the high permeability layer and the horizontal section of the horizontal well is further implemented, if all the three exist intersection relationship, the judgment of step one is kept as the 1st or 2nd water control object, and the 3rd and 4th water control objects can also be optimized and adjusted or excluded potential according to the result. For example, if the trajectory of the horizontal well section through the high permeability layer is less than 1 / 4 of the length of the horizontal section and 1 / 2 of the section is located below the low permeability position of the high permeability layer, the exploitation index also indicates that the potential tapping is large, then it can be used as the key optimization and adjustment object.

[0062] In the foregoing step, the water control potential ranking well is comprehensively determined, and the wellbore fluid accumulation position of the research well is judged and the fluid accumulation amount is calculated through the theoretical calculation formula.

[0063] Step S14: Based on the water saturation before water injection of the water control object and the injection and production data, the current fluid accumulation amount is determined.

[0064] Generally in heterogeneous reservoir, the liquid accumulation is mainly concentrated in the part of the horizontal well section passing through the high permeability layer, but this method is not very accurate, and in the embodiment of the application, a horizontal well multi-section liquid production well test interpretation model is adopted to accurately identify the water breakthrough position, and then a horizontal well liquid accumulation theoretical formula is used to calculate the instantaneous single well liquid accumulation amount, the formula is centered on the oil well, directly opposite the injection well to supply the injection amount, considers the influence of the high permeability layer water flooded volume in the early stage and the liquid discharge amount of the oil well during the treatment, and deduces the liquid accumulation residual amount near the horizontal wellbore at the tth day, based on a large amount of oil well treatment experience, when the liquid accumulation residual amount is 1 / 2 or 2 / 3 of the original liquid accumulation amount, the water cut has already shown a significant downward trend, since there are differences between single wells, appropriate fine tuning can be carried out according to the change trend. The formula can also calculate the liquid discharge time under constant injection and liquid production speed.

[0065] Step S15: Based on the adjusted classification and sorting of the water control objects, the implementation sequence of the water control measures and the water control measures of each water control object are formulated, the water production of the water control object after the implementation of the water control measures is determined, and the ratio of the liquid accumulation amount to the water production is determined as the predicted liquid discharge time.

[0066] The water control measure is to adjust the work system.

[0067] Based on step S14, the liquid accumulation amount near the current wellbore is calculated, and the work system adjustment scheme corresponding to the oil and water well adjustment is adjusted. When the water cut of the oil well is high, there are four schemes: reducing the injection amount, reducing the liquid production amount, reducing the injection amount + reducing the liquid production amount, and reducing the injection amount + increasing the liquid production amount. For scenario 1: the oil well with rapid water cut rise (water cut is monitored every day) and high pressure level, the injection amount is reduced + the liquid production amount is increased, for scenario 2: the oil well with rapid water cut rise and low pressure level, the injection amount is reduced + the liquid production amount is reduced, for scenario 3: the oil well with rapid water cut rise and medium pressure level, the injection amount is reduced, and for scenario 4: the oil well with water cut rise and low pressure, the liquid production amount is reduced. The adjustment range of the oil well should consider the upper and lower limits of the electric pump oil well, and the injection well should consider the corrosion effect. The minimum injection amount is not less than 100 barrels / day, and the best injection amount should control the injection-production ratio of the current well group to be within 0.95. After selecting different water control measures, the liquid production amount of the oil well can be determined, and the water production amount can be calculated through water cut test. The ratio of the liquid accumulation amount to the water production is determined as the predicted liquid discharge time.

[0068] The non-homogeneous reservoir water injection development water control method provided by the embodiment one of the application, through the implementation of steps S11 to S15, the development law and dynamic characteristics of the high water cut level oil well are analyzed, the water flooded condition is diagnosed and the water flow channel is identified, the remaining oil distribution is described, the wellbore liquid accumulation and the liquid discharge time are calculated, and the water control measure design and implementation are carried out. The method provides a new type of water control method and process for the high water cut level well in the heterogeneous reservoir, so as to continuously control the water cut of the oil well and increase the single well oil production.

[0069] Since the horizontal well is mostly open hole completion and the wellbore integrity is not enough, the water plugging and profile control technology has high implementation cost, great process difficulty and short oil increment effective period, the heterogeneous reservoir water injection development water control method provided by the embodiment one of the present application does not need to perform any measures and construction and will not increase additional operation cost, after diagnosing the remaining oil enrichment layer, the high-permeability layer fluid accumulation is excluded and the low-permeability layer is improved by reasonably adjusting the oil and water well operation system, the differential adjustment countermeasures are used to fully tap the remaining oil potential of the high water cut oil well and improve the reservoir development effect, and the present application is a new type of high water cut horizontal well treatment method, and can realize the "zero cost" quality improvement and efficiency increase of the heterogeneous reservoir.

[0070] In some embodiments, further comprising, for the water control object after implementing the water control measure, repeating steps S14 in a week to determine the change of the fluid accumulation amount, monitor the change of the water cut, update the predicted drainage time and evaluate the water control effect; if the water control effect does not reach the set effect, modifying the current water control measure.

[0071] In some embodiments, further comprising, repeating steps S11-S15 in a month, the new water control object selected does not include the horizontal oil well which has taken the water control measure.

[0072] After the water control object wells are selected in a month through steps one, two and three, the test water cut of the wells after the regulation is monitored and the water control effect is evaluated in a week, the calculation process of steps four and five is cycled to determine the instantaneous fluid accumulation amount and the drainage time, the scheme of step five needs to be adjusted in time in different four scenarios, and the water control effect is observed by continuously testing the water cut of the single well. The above is the step for the water control object well proposed in the last month to implement subsequently. When the water control object is selected to implement in the next month, the water control object well in the last month is removed from step one, and then the classification adjustment is updated to determine whether there is a new water control object well, if there is a new water control object well, the water control measure is designed and implemented according to steps two, three, four and five, and the weekly processing flow.

[0073] Embodiment two

[0074] The embodiment two of the present application provides a specific application of the heterogeneous reservoir water injection development water control method, which is implemented in a certain heterogeneous carbonate reservoir in an oilfield (the embodiment two of the present application is applied to the heterogeneous carbonate reservoir in the oilfield). Figure 2 ), the pilot test of water injection was started in 2012, the scale water injection development was realized at the end of 2014, the oil well water cut rapidly rises to 40-60% after water injection due to the influence of the high-permeability layer developed in the whole region, the comprehensive water cut is 65.9%, the geological recovery degree is 13.2%, the water cut of 33 oil wells is more than 80%, and it is difficult to stabilize oil and control water.

See Figure 3 According to step S11, the objects of high water content treatment and urgent adjustment are sorted out.

[0076] The above-mentioned 33 wells in the three blocks of the typical reservoir are selected as the treatment objects of high water content wells, and AD1 area is selected as the typical area. Through the analysis of the vertical and planar water-flood characteristics of the passing wells, the saturation change of the typical horizontal injection-production well group is monitored for two years and four years after water injection, which can be seen that: the water-flood of high permeability layer Kh2-1-2L and the top of Kh2-2 is obvious, the water-flood degree of Kh2-3 is second, and the water-flood of Kh2-1-2U is different due to the position; after two years of water injection, the whole well section of the injection well is water-flooded, after four years of water injection, the middle well point of the injection well and the production well and the production well are mainly water-flooded in Kh2-3 and high permeability layer, Kh2-1-2U and the upper part of Kh2-2, and the water-flood degree of kh2-2 is lower, see Figure 4 From the distribution of horizontal production well trajectories, more than 75% of the well trajectories of oil wells pass through high permeability layers or large sections of high permeability layers above the high permeability layers, and the injection water flow rules of this part of the production wells are similar to those of the typical well group in Figure 4 The proportion of horizontal production well trajectories located in the middle and lower parts of kh2-2 is only 23.5%, which is mainly unevenly distributed, and has less influence on the overall injection water flow rule.

[0077] The above-mentioned 18 ultra-high water content wells need to clarify the reasons for the rapid rise of water content to ultra-high water content, classify them from the causes of high water content, and determine three main causes:

[0078] 1: 8 wells with water content exceeding 80% or even 90% after the well is shut down and restarted

[0079] 2: 12 wells with periodic changes during five-point alternating injection and production

[0080] 3: 13 wells with water content rising due to the influence of surrounding shut-down wells

[0081] Therefore, the initial rise of water content is mainly affected by the main control factors. Under the current condition of high water-flood degree of high permeability layer, the change of water content mainly depends on the matching relationship between the horizontal well trajectory and the high permeability layer, and the influence of surrounding injection well injection and production intensity, shut-down well and other factors.

[0082] Currently, the main controlling factors for high water-cut oil wells (>90%) are high-permeability layers and well trajectory. The well trajectory penetrates high-permeability layers multiple times or is close to high-permeability layers. The water saturation near the well trajectory is relatively high, and the resulting water flow dominance channels hinder the displacement of the surrounding remaining oil. The causes of the three types of high water-cut wells are analyzed in detail below (Table 1).

[0083] Table 1. Analysis of the reasons for the increase in water cut after well shutdown and resumption of production.

[0084]

[0085] Category 1: High water cut after well shutdown and resumption of production

[0086] The analysis focuses on seven shut-down and resumed production wells with water cut exceeding 90% in 2020. The main controlling factors were high-permeability layers and well trajectory. The cumulative oil production ranged from 1.38 million to 2.27 million barrels. The water cut was basically stable for a period of time, exceeding 95%. The recovery rate of individual wells ranged from 10.9% to 40.1%, and the recovery rate of well groups ranged from 10.0% to 35.0%.

[0087] A comparative study of 26 shut-in wells and their subsequent resumption of production revealed that 15 wells resumed production in zone AD1, 3 wells in zone AD2 resumed production in 2020, and 6 wells resumed production in zone AD4. The duration of high water cut was related to well trajectory and water retention rate. Higher single injection and cumulative injection volumes during shutdown led to higher water retention rates. Wells located in areas significantly affected by high-permeability layers showed a more pronounced increase in water cut after resumption, resulting in a longer period of high water cut and a longer time for drainage and water control. Figure 5 and Figure 6 ).

[0088] Category 2: Water content fluctuations increase during the five-point alternation period.

[0089] The alternation test area in AD1 mainly selected oil wells with a water cut of about 80% before the test for alternation. This alternation mode will produce a water cut high point during the alternation process (Table 2).

[0090] Table 2. Data on water-bearing fluctuations and rises during the five-point alternation method.

[0091]

[0092] Taking AD1-11 as an example, the high water cut point is located before the alternating well opening and shut-in, which may be caused by factors such as short adjustment cycles for oil wells and water wells. See [link / reference]. Figure 7 .

[0093] The same rule can also be seen by numerical simulation. When the five oil wells are shut down, but the injection wells still maintain injection, the opening is similar to the re-production of shut-down wells, and water cut breakthrough occurs, followed by the discharge of injected water during shut-down, and the water cut begins to decline. The 9-13 row of AD1 area has been alternating injection and production for one year, and the water control effect gradually deteriorates in the later period. Before rotation, some wells have a phenomenon of rising water cut, indicating that diagonal channels have been formed. Figure 8 .

[0094] The third type of surrounding oil well shut-down

[0095] In recent years, affected by the shut-down of surrounding oil wells and the continuous injection of water wells, the water cut of some wells has broken through in a short time. The main control factor of these wells is also high permeability layer, and the well trajectory is close to the high permeability layer, which is more affected by the surrounding water wells (Table 3).

[0096] Table 3 High water cut wells caused by surrounding oil well shut-down

[0097]

[0098] For the above-mentioned high water cut well types, in the current pressure recovery situation, the adjustment strategy of liquid lifting and injection reduction is implemented. Through step four, the wellbore liquid accumulation and the liquid discharge time under the current electric pump working system are calculated, and the preliminary scheme of single well adjustment is determined through step five. The effect of liquid lifting and injection reduction is predicted by a numerical simulator. Figure 9 After the implementation of each scheme for a period of time, the water cut of the production well is obviously advanced, and the single well static pressure is higher than the base scheme, liquid lifting, injection reduction, and liquid lifting + injection reduction. The pressure drop can be accepted. At the same time, through the method of liquid lifting and injection reduction, the flow line of some oil wells can be improved, the reserves in the lower part of Kh2-2 with low oil saturation can be developed, and the purpose of water reduction can be achieved.

[0099] For high water cut wells in the field, the amount of wellbore liquid accumulation and the liquid discharge time are calculated based on step four, and the adjustment strategy of liquid lifting and injection reduction is determined and implemented. Through injection and production adjustment, 12 wells have seen obvious effect, and the liquid discharge and water control time is 1.5 months-4 months. The oil wells that have not seen effect are mainly affected by the fact that the well trajectory passes through the high permeability layer and the injection well point is concentrated, which requires longer liquid discharge time. The specific implementation effect is shown in Table 4.

[0100] Table 4 Water control effect of injection and production adjustment of high water cut wells (after four months of implementation)

[0101]

[0102]

[0103] As shown in the above table, after the injection-production adjustment is implemented for 4 months, for the high water cut wells after resumption of production, 3 of the 7 wells see obvious effects, and the water cut of the other 4 wells also decreases slightly. For the high water cut wells in the five-spot injection-production wells, 5 of the 7 wells see obvious effects, and 2 of the 7 wells do not see obvious effects. For the high water cut wells caused by the shutdown of surrounding oil wells, the water cut of 3 of the 4 wells decreases obviously after the implementation for half a month to three months, and the water cut of 1 of the 4 wells does not change obviously. The treatment of these wells is continuously tracked, and the effective period after treatment is up to 1 year and a half as of March 2023.
