[0028] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of flow field characteristic points of a generating well and a water injection well of the present invention;

[0029] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of a flow field curve of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. This figure is a simplified schematic diagram, which only illustrates the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore it only shows the components related to the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a streamline prediction method based on flow field parameters between injection and production wells includes the following steps:

[0032] Step 1: Construct the injection and production well coordinate system, take the coordinates of the injection well and the production well as the two end points, obtain several flow field characteristic points between the two end points; use the flow field characteristic points to perform polynomial fitting to obtain the flow field curve;

[0033] Obtaining several flow field feature points between the two end points includes:

[0034] The injection wells and production wells are equally spaced into a number of odd points n, and a straight line perpendicular to the x-axis is drawn with the odd point as the center; a ray is drawn with the injection well as the starting point and the angle θ with the x-axis, and a ray is drawn with the injection well as the starting point and the angle 180-θ with the x-axis. The intersection of the ray and the straight line at the odd point is the flow field characteristic point.

[0035] The injection and production well coordinate system starts from the injection well and ends at the production well in the x-axis direction, with the y-axis perpendicular to the x-axis.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the blue injection well O in the well network is used as the origin of the injection and production well coordinate system. The coordinates of point O (x i ,yi ) as the origin O(0,0), the red production well P j The coordinates of (L O pj,0),L O pj is the injection well O and the production well P j The distance Figure 2 For example, when the number of odd points is n=3, when θ is a certain angle, the coordinates of the three flow field feature points are (L Opj / 4,y1)、(L Opj / 2,y2)、(3L Opj / 4,y3);y1=L Opj / 4*tanθ,y2=L Opj / 2*tanθ,y2=3L Opj / 4*tanθ; -90°<θ<90°;

[0037] The formula for polynomial fitting is: y = a0x n-1 +a1x n-2 +...a n ; Since the more odd points there are, the more complex the polynomial fitting becomes, through actual testing, when n=3, both the computational complexity and accuracy requirements can be met.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, there are six simulated flow field curves when θ is ±30°, ±45°, and ±60° respectively;

[0039] For example, when θ = 60°, the curve fitting is

[0040] Step 2: Select a number of flow field parameter sampling points on a number of flow field curves and calculate the mean value of the flow field parameters;

[0041] Flow field parameters include: permeability K, porosity φ and water saturation S w ;

[0042] Taking the sampling point as the characteristic point of the flow field as an example, the mean permeability is k0, k1 is the permeability of the injection well, 3 flow field characteristic points, and production well; similarly, the mean porosity can be obtained Mean water saturation

[0043] Step 3: Construct a particle swarm algorithm, take the mean of flow field parameters as input parameters, and the water production rate as the objective function, and optimize the correction coefficient of flow field parameters;

[0044] In the particle swarm algorithm, the production well is the center and the water production rate is the is the fitting index; the water production rate in the water injection stage and the oil production stage is solved by Darcy's law using the average flow field parameters. Assume that the correction coefficient C of the mean value of flow field parameters is par ij , par is the flow field parameter; find the objective function The target function is selected as the loop termination indicator during iteration, and the Is it satisfied? If yes, terminate, otherwise continue iteration; β is the target threshold, f calculate is the water production rate solved by the particle swarm algorithm after correction, and in this embodiment, β=1%.

[0045] Specifically include:

[0046] Suppose in a two-dimensional target search space, there are n' particles forming a population X = (X1, X2, ..., X n’ ), where the i-th particle is a two-dimensional vector, representing the position of the i-th particle in the two-dimensional search space and also represents a potential solution to the problem;

[0047] For particle i, the vector X i Represents the correction coefficient of flow field parameters; vector V i represents the acceleration factor of the flow field parameters;

[0048] Particle Speed:

[0049] Particle Position:

[0050] Among them, ω is the inertia weight. A large value can make the algorithm have a stronger global search ability, and a small value makes the algorithm tend to local search; ω is initially set to 0.9 and linearly decreases to 0.4 with the increase of the number of iterations. In this way, we can focus on the global search first, so that the search space converges quickly to a certain area, and then use local fine search to obtain a high-precision solution;

[0051] c1 and c2 are two learning factors, which are non-negative constants, usually 2, but there are other values. Usually c1 = c2 and the range is between 0 and 4.

[0052] r1 and r2 are random numbers distributed in the interval [0,1];

[0053] In order to prevent blind searching of particles, the particle position and velocity are generally limited to a certain range. If the current acceleration of the particle causes the particle velocity V in a certain dimension to i Exceed the maximum speed V of this dimension dmax , then the speed of this dimension is limited to the maximum speed upper limit V of this dimension dmax , V dmax The choice should not exceed the particle width range, if Vdmax If it is too large, the particle may fly over the location of the optimal solution; if it is too small, it may reduce the global search ability of the particle.

[0054] The number of particles in the particle swarm is usually 20-40. For most problems, 10 particles are enough to achieve good results. However, for more difficult problems or problems of a specific category, the number of particles can be 100 or 200. Generally speaking, the larger the swarm size, the greater the possibility of searching for the global optimal solution, and the better the optimization performance. However, the algorithm consumes more computing power, and the computing performance decreases relatively. However, the swarm size cannot be too small. If the swarm size is too small, the intelligence of the swarm intelligence optimization algorithm cannot be reflected, resulting in serious damage to the algorithm performance.

[0055] Termination condition: maximum number of cycles and minimum error requirement, this termination condition is determined by the specific problem. For the maximum allowed number of iterations, a larger number of iterations enables the algorithm to better search the solution space, so the possibility of finding the global optimal solution is also greater; correspondingly, a smaller maximum allowed number of iterations will reduce the possibility of the algorithm finding the global optimal solution.

[0056] Step 4, calculating the corrected flow field parameters according to the correction coefficients of the flow field parameters;

[0057] The formula of the corrected flow field parameters is:

[0058]

[0059] in, is the mean value of flow field parameters.

[0060] Taking the corrected permeability as an example, Get the corrected permeability of the five points

[0061] Similarly, the corrected porosity and water saturation can be calculated. Specific embodiment:

[0063] The injection-production relationship between the injection wells and the corresponding production wells in the four sub-layers of the XX reservoir was quantitatively analyzed. The results are shown in the following table. The corrected pore permeability is shown in Table 1.

[0064] Table 1 Comparison of corrected permeability and actual permeability of injection wells and production wells

[0065]

[0066] It can be seen from Table 1 that the difference between the corrected permeability and the actual permeability is very small, indicating that the method of the present invention is effective.

[0067] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the present invention, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of the present invention through the above description. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
