Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of research on the distribution of remaining reserves of water-containing gas reservoirs, and in particular relates to a simulation calculation method for the remaining reserves of water-containing gas reservoirs. Background Art

[0002] During the development of water-bearing gas reservoirs, as the energy of the gas reservoir decreases, formation water invades the gas reservoir, causing water to appear in the gas well prematurely, resulting in a significant reduction in production. In severe cases, it may even cause the gas well to shut down. Indoor physical simulation experiments can well simulate the water invasion process of gas reservoirs. On the one hand, the mold used in the experiment can retain the heterogeneous characteristics of the original reservoir to the greatest extent through the combination of different simulation layers; on the other hand, the physical simulation experiment can monitor the pressure and water saturation of the mold in real time, and completely record the water invasion dynamics during the development of water-bearing gas reservoirs, providing guidance for the formulation of water control measures for gas reservoirs. In addition to the pressure and water saturation at each position in the mold, the reserve utilization is also an important indicator for studying the water invasion dynamics of water-bearing gas reservoirs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method to calculate the remaining reserves at each position of the multi-layer combined production physical mold for water-bearing gas reservoirs.

[0003] At present, there are many studies on the physical simulation of water invasion process in water-bearing gas reservoirs, but few scholars have explored in depth the calculation method of remaining reserves in the physical simulation experiment. In the past, the calculation of remaining reserves in the physical mold was based on the entire physical mold. The calculation result was single, and only the total remaining reserves of the mold could be calculated, but the remaining reserves at different positions of the mold could not be calculated. In summary, establishing a calculation method for the remaining reserves distribution of the physical mold of water-bearing gas reservoirs is of great significance for gas reservoir water control, production capacity prediction and other work. Summary of the invention
