Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gas well drainage gas recovery, and particularly relates to a method, device and equipment for determining liquid loading information of a horizontal section of a gas well. BACKGROUND
[0002] A horizontal well is one of well types for shale gas exploitation. Compared with a conventional gas reservoir horizontal well, a shale gas horizontal well has an ultra-long horizontal section of 1500-3000 m, and is in an up-dip / down-dip structure due to the influence of longitudinal distribution of a shale reservoir. In the middle and later stages of production of the horizontal well, the bottom hole flowing pressure drops significantly, the production pressure difference decreases, and the liquid carrying capacity of gas gradually decreases, so the horizontal well will be in a low production stage for a long time. Field wellbore liquid level measurement data show that most of the well liquid levels are below the tubing shoe, indicating that, due to the influence of various factors such as the complex structure of the horizontal section, low gas production and low pressure, some gas wells have serious liquid loading in the horizontal section. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately determine the liquid loading position and liquid loading amount of the horizontal section of a shale gas well so as to facilitate drainage and recovery.
[0003] At present, the research on liquid loading of a horizontal well is mostly focused on vertical sections and inclined sections, and the influence of the complex structure (up-dip, down-dip and undulation) of the horizontal section on the gas-liquid two-phase flow law is less studied, especially the determination method for judging whether liquid loading occurs in the horizontal section of a wellbore, and the liquid loading position and liquid loading cross-sectional area.
[0004] It can be seen that the prior art cannot accurately and effectively determine the liquid loading information of the horizontal section of a gas well. SUMMARY

[0058] In order to enable persons skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by persons skilled in the art without creative labor should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0059] As described above, at present, the research on the liquid accumulation of the horizontal well is mostly on the vertical section and the inclined section as the research object, and the influence of the complex structure (inclined upward, inclined downward and undulating) of the horizontal section on the gas-liquid two-phase flow law is less researched, especially the determination method of whether the wellbore of the horizontal section has liquid accumulation, the liquid accumulation position and the liquid accumulation cross-sectional area is relatively lacking, and the liquid accumulation information of the horizontal section of the gas well cannot be accurately and effectively determined.
[0060] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a determination method of the liquid accumulation information of the horizontal section of a gas well, which specifically comprises: obtaining the gas well data of a target gas well; determining the gas phase flow data and the liquid phase flow data of the horizontal section of the target gas well according to the gas well data; determining the no-slip holdup data and the transient holdup data of the horizontal section of the target gas well according to the gas well data, the gas phase flow data and the liquid phase flow data; and determining the liquid accumulation information of the horizontal section of the target gas well based on the no-slip holdup data and the transient holdup data.
[0061] After the gas well data of the target gas well is acquired in the present application, the gas phase flow data and the liquid phase flow data of the horizontal section of the target gas well can be calculated based on the gas well data, thereby providing a basis for determining the liquid loading information of the horizontal section of the target gas well. After the gas phase flow data and the liquid phase flow data of the horizontal section of the target gas well are determined, the no-slip holdup data and the transient holdup data of the horizontal section of the target gas well can be determined, and then the liquid loading information of the horizontal section of the target gas well can be determined through the no-slip holdup data and the transient holdup data of the horizontal section of the target gas well, so that the actual production situation of the target gas well can be more truly reflected, the liquid loading information of the horizontal section of the gas well can be more accurately and effectively determined, and support can be provided for the drainage gas recovery process design of the target gas well.
[0062] The method for determining the liquid loading information of the horizontal section of the gas well provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0063] Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the method for determining the liquid loading information of the horizontal section of the gas well provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown. As shown in the figure, the method can include: Figure 1
[0064] S101: Acquire the gas well data of a target gas well.
[0065] It can be understood that the gas well data of the target gas well can include the well trajectory data, the pipe string data and the gas well production data of the target gas well. The well trajectory data can be the path passed through by the target gas well from the surface wellhead position to the underground target area. The pipe string data can be the data related to the downhole pipe string of the target gas well, which can include, for example, the inner diameter of the pipe sleeve, the depth of the oil pipe, the inner diameter of the oil pipe, etc. The gas well production data can be the data collected in the process of oil and gas production of the target gas well, which can include, for example, the gas production rate, the water production rate, the wellhead oil pressure, the bottom hole temperature, the liquid density, the gas density, etc. of the target gas well. In some embodiments, the pipe string data and the gas well production data of the target gas well can also include other related data, which is not limited in the present application.
[0066] S102: Determine the gas phase flow data and the liquid phase flow data of the horizontal section of the target gas well according to the gas well data.
[0067] It can be understood that the gas phase flow data can be the superficial gas velocity of the horizontal section of the target gas well, and the liquid phase flow data can be the superficial liquid velocity of the horizontal section of the target gas well.
[0068] It can be understood that the target gas well can include a vertical section and a horizontal section, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a wellbore trajectory of a target gas well provided by an embodiment of the present application. In the diagram, C represents a surface wellhead position of the target gas well, A and B represent two target points of the target gas well, the wellbore trajectory between C and A represents a vertical section of the target gas well, and the wellbore trajectory between A and B represents a horizontal section of the target gas well.
[0069] In some embodiments, considering that the horizontal section of the target gas well is difficult to collect and the collected data is not accurate and reliable, an embodiment of the present application calculates the flow pressure of the target point A by using the collected gas well data of the vertical section of the target gas well, takes the flow pressure of the target point A as the flow pressure of the horizontal section of the target gas well, and calculates the gas phase flow data and the liquid phase flow data of the horizontal section of the target gas well based on the calculated flow pressure.
[0070] In some embodiments, in step S102, the gas phase flow data and the liquid phase flow data of the horizontal section of the target gas well are determined based on the gas well data, including:
[0071] determining a relationship between the flow pressure of the target gas well and the depth of the target gas well based on the wellbore trajectory data, the string data and the gas well production data in the gas well data;
[0072] determining the flow pressure data of the horizontal section of the target gas well based on the relationship and the depth of the horizontal section of the target gas well;
[0073] determining the gas phase flow velocity data and the liquid phase flow velocity data based on the flow pressure and the gas well data.
[0074] It can be understood that the flow pressure of the target gas well is the mixed flow pressure of the gas-liquid two-phase flow of the target gas well.
[0075] In some embodiments, a wellbore pressure drop model can be used to simulate the relationship between the flow pressure of the target gas well and the depth, and then the wellbore pressure drop model can be combined with the wellbore trajectory data, the string data and the gas well production data of the target gas well to obtain the relationship between the flow pressure of the target gas well and the depth. The calculation process of the flow pressure of the horizontal section of the target gas well based on the wellbore pressure drop model will be further introduced below, and will not be repeated here.
[0076] In some embodiments, the gas phase flow velocity data and the liquid phase flow velocity data are determined based on the flow pressure and the gas well data, including:
[0077] the liquid phase flow velocity data is determined based on the liquid production rate in the gas well data;
[0078] determining, based on the temperature in the gas well data, the flow pressure data, a gas volume fraction of the target gas well;
[0079] determining, based on the gas volume fraction, a liquid production rate in the gas well data, the gas phase flow velocity data.
[0080] It can be understood that after the flow pressure of the horizontal section is calculated, the apparent gas flow rate of the target gas well can be calculated as the gas phase flow velocity data of the target gas well and the apparent liquid flow rate of the target gas well can be calculated as the liquid phase flow velocity data of the target gas well based on the gas well production data of the target gas well. In some embodiments, the apparent gas flow rate and the apparent liquid flow rate can be calculated based on the gas production rate, the water production rate, the bottom hole temperature, the liquid density, the inner diameter of the tubing, the inner diameter of the casing and the flow pressure of the target gas well. The above calculation process will be described in detail below in combination with specific formulas, and will not be repeated here.
[0081] In some embodiments, the bottom hole temperature, the inner diameter of the tubing and the like at different positions in the horizontal section of the target gas well can be different, and the apparent gas flow rate and the apparent liquid flow rate at different positions in the horizontal section calculated based on the calculation can be different. The apparent gas flow rate and the apparent liquid flow rate of each segment can be calculated based on the division of the horizontal section of the target gas well into multiple segments, and the apparent liquid flow rate and the apparent gas flow rate of the multiple segments can be taken as the gas phase flow velocity data and the liquid phase flow velocity data of the horizontal section of the target gas well, respectively.
[0082] In some embodiments, the horizontal section of the target gas well can be divided into multiple segments based on a preset segment length, and the apparent gas flow rate and the apparent liquid flow rate of each segment can be calculated. In some embodiments, the horizontal section of the target gas well can be divided into multiple segments based on the positions of the production data acquisition devices arranged in the horizontal section of the target gas well, and the apparent gas flow rate and the apparent liquid flow rate of each segment can be calculated. In other embodiments, the horizontal section of the target gas well can also be divided based on other information of the horizontal section of the target gas well, such as the inner diameter of the pipe string, and the like, which is not limited in the present application.
[0083] S103: determining, based on the gas well data, the gas phase flow data and the liquid phase flow data, the no-slip liquid holdup data and the transient liquid holdup data of the horizontal section of the target gas well.
[0084] It can be understood that, due to the difference in oil and gas density, when the gas rises faster than the liquid (crude oil) during the upward flow of the gas-liquid mixture in the horizontal section of the target gas well, the gas will pass through the liquid, which can be referred to as slippage. The measured data of the gas well when the liquid loading occurs is studied in the embodiments of the present application, and it is found that whether the liquid loading occurs, the liquid loading position, the liquid loading cross-sectional area and other information are related to the no-slip liquid holding data and the transient liquid holding data of the horizontal section of the gas well. Therefore, the no-slip liquid holding data and the transient liquid holding data of the target gas well are calculated to determine the liquid loading information of the target gas well. The no-slip liquid holding data can specifically include the no-slip liquid holding rate, which can be the liquid holding rate of the target gas well without slippage in the horizontal section. The transient liquid holding data can include the transient liquid holding rate of the target gas well at multiple times, which can be the liquid holding rate of the target gas well at a certain time.
[0085] In some embodiments, the horizontal section of the target gas well is divided into multiple segments, and the calculated gas phase flow velocity data and liquid phase flow velocity data include apparent gas flow rate and apparent liquid flow rate of each segment. Further, the no-slip liquid holding data and the transient liquid holding data of the horizontal section of the target gas well determined according to the gas well data, the gas phase flow data and the liquid phase flow data include no-slip liquid holding rate of multiple segments and transient liquid holding rate of multiple segments at multiple times. That is, the no-slip liquid holding rate can represent the liquid holding rate of a segment of the horizontal section of the target gas well without slippage, and the transient liquid holding rate can represent the liquid holding rate of a segment of the horizontal section of the target gas well at a certain time.
[0086] In some embodiments, the no-slip liquid holding data of the horizontal section of the target gas well is determined according to the gas well data, the gas phase flow data and the liquid phase flow data, including:
[0087] Based on the pipe string data in the gas well data, the horizontal liquid holding rate of the horizontal section of the target gas well when no inclination occurs is determined;
[0088] Based on the gas phase flow data, the liquid phase flow data and the pipe string data, the flow process of the target gas well is analyzed experimentally, and the flow data in the experimental process is collected;
[0089] Based on the flow data, the no-slip liquid holding rate data of the target gas well and the inclination angle data of the horizontal section of the target gas well corresponding to the no-slip liquid holding rate data are determined;
[0090] Based on the horizontal liquid holding rate, the no-slip liquid holding rate data and the inclination angle data of the horizontal section, the relationship between the no-slip liquid holding rate of the horizontal section of the target gas well and the inclination angle and the horizontal liquid holding rate is determined as the no-slip liquid holding data.
[0091] It can be understood that the horizontal liquid holdup can be the liquid holdup when the inclination angle of the horizontal section of the target gas well relative to the horizontal plane is 0. Considering that the actual well trajectory angle of the horizontal section of the target gas well will change, and the inclination angle of the pipe of the horizontal section of the target gas well will also change, the relationship between the no-slip liquid holdup of the target gas well and the inclination angle and the horizontal liquid holdup of the horizontal section of the target gas well can be obtained based on the horizontal liquid holdup when the inclination angle of the horizontal section of the target gas well is 0 and the inclination angle data of the target gas well. It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, when the no-slip liquid holdup of the horizontal section of the target gas well is determined, the change of the inclination angle of the horizontal section of the target gas well is considered, and a more accurate and reliable no-slip liquid holdup can be obtained.
[0092] In some embodiments, the horizontal liquid holdup of the target gas well is studied, and it is found that the horizontal liquid holdup of the horizontal section of the target gas well is related to the liquid film height and the pipe inner diameter of the horizontal section of the target gas well, and further, the relationship between the no-slip liquid holdup of the horizontal section of the target gas well and the inclination angle, the liquid film height and the pipe inner diameter can be determined. The study of the relationship between the horizontal liquid holdup of the target gas well and the liquid film height and the pipe inner diameter of the horizontal section of the target gas well will be described in detail below, and will not be repeated here.
[0093] In some embodiments, based on the gas well data, the gas phase flow data and the liquid phase flow data, the transient liquid holdup data of the horizontal section of the target gas well is determined, including:
[0094] Based on the pipe string data in the gas well data, a gas-liquid flow model of the target gas well is established;
[0095] Based on the gas-liquid flow model, the gas phase flow data and the liquid phase flow data, the gas-liquid flow process of the target gas well is simulated to obtain the transient liquid holdup data of the target gas well.
[0096] In some embodiments, based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, a hexahedral structured grid is generated to divide the global grid and set the boundary layer grid at the pipe wall, a multiphase flow model (for example, the volume of fluid (VOF) model) and a turbulence model (for example, the RNG k-ε model) are selected as the gas-liquid flow model of the target gas well to simulate the gas-liquid two-phase flow process of the wellbore of the horizontal section of the target gas well, and the transient liquid holdup rate collected in the simulation process is derived.
[0097] S104: Based on the no-slip liquid holdup data and the transient liquid holdup data, the liquid loading information of the horizontal section of the target gas well is determined.
[0098] It can be understood that the liquid loading information of the horizontal section of the target gas well can include whether the horizontal section of the target gas well is liquid loading, the position of the liquid loading, and the liquid loading cross-sectional area. The liquid loading cross-sectional area can be understood as the cross-sectional area of the pipeline occupied by the liquid loading.
[0099] It can be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, the liquid loading information of the horizontal section of the target gas well is determined by using the no-slip liquid holdup data and the transient liquid holdup data of the horizontal section of the target gas well, which can more truly reflect the actual production situation of the target gas well, and can more accurately and effectively determine the liquid loading information of the horizontal section of the gas well, thereby providing support for the drainage gas recovery process design of the target gas well.
[0100] In some embodiments, the horizontal section of the target gas well is divided into multiple segments, and the determined liquid loading information of the horizontal section of the target gas well can include whether each segment is liquid loading, the position of the segment with liquid loading (i.e., the liquid loading position), and the liquid loading cross-sectional area of the segment with liquid loading.
[0101] In some embodiments, the liquid loading information of the horizontal section of the target gas well is determined based on the no-slip liquid holdup data and the transient liquid holdup data, and includes:
[0102] If the no-slip liquid holdup data of any position of the horizontal section of the target gas well is greater than or equal to the transient liquid holdup data, the target gas well does not have liquid loading.
[0103] If the no-slip liquid holdup data of any position of the horizontal section of the target gas well is less than the transient liquid holdup data, the target gas well has liquid loading.
[0104] In some embodiments, the liquid loading information of the horizontal section of the target gas well is determined based on the no-slip liquid holdup data and the transient liquid holdup data, and includes:
[0105] In a case where the no-slip liquid holdup data of the current position of the horizontal section of the target gas well is less than the transient liquid holdup data, it is determined that the current position of the horizontal section of the target gas well has liquid loading.
[0106] Based on the no-slip liquid holdup data, the transient liquid holdup data, and the pipe string data in the gas well data, the liquid loading cross-sectional area of the current position is determined.
[0107] The flow pressure and the gas-liquid two-phase flow parameters of the horizontal section of the target gas well will be further introduced below in combination with the formula.
[0108] In some embodiments, the relationship between the flow pressure and the depth of the target gas well can be simulated by using a wellbore pressure drop model, and the wellbore pressure drop model can be represented by the following formula:
[0109]
[0110] wherein p can represent the flow pressure of the target gas well, in Pa; z can represent the depth, in m; p m may represent the mixture density of the gas-liquid mixture in the target gas well, in kg / m 3 ; θ can represent the inclination angle, in °; v m may represent the mixture superficial velocity of the gas-liquid mixture in the target gas well, in m / s; D represents the pipe diameter of the target gas well, in m; g represents the gravitational acceleration, in m / s 2 ; f can represent the friction factor, dimensionless.
[0111] In some embodiments, the mixture superficial velocity v m of the gas-liquid mixture in the target gas well in the above formula (1) can be represented by the following formula:

[0126] The following section, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further explain the calculation methods for the horizontal liquid holdup and the non-slippage liquid holdup of the target gas well.
[0127] Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of the gas-liquid two-phase flow process in the horizontal section of the target gas well pipeline provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0128] like Figure 3As shown in FIG. 1, it can be seen that the gas phase in the horizontal section of the target gas well flows upwards inside the pipe, while the liquid phase mainly flows continuously in the form of a liquid film at the bottom of the pipe, and the shear force of the gas phase with the pipe wall, the shear force of the liquid phase with the pipe wall, and the shear force of the gas-liquid interface are all opposite to the flow direction of the gas-liquid two-phase in the pipe.
[0129] Neglecting the change of the gas and liquid phase velocities along the pipeline and using force balance method, the gas and liquid phase momentum equations can be established, and the following formula is obtained:
[0130]
[0131] wherein dp / dx can represent the pressure gradient, Pa / m; τ wg can represent the shear force of the gas phase with the pipe wall, N / m 2 ; τ wl can represent the shear force of the liquid phase with the pipe wall, N / m 2 ; τ i can represent the shear force of the gas-liquid interface, N / m 2 ; S g can represent the wet perimeter of the gas phase, m; S l can represent the wet perimeter of the liquid phase, m; S i can represent the length of the gas-liquid interface of the pipe cross section, m; and θ can represent the inclination angle of the pipe (positive for upward inclination and negative for downward inclination), rad.
[0132] Without considering the surface tension and the hydrostatic pressure gradient of the liquid phase, the pressure gradient terms in the two-phase momentum equations are equal, and based on formula (9), the pressure gradient term can be eliminated to obtain the following formula:
[0133]
[0134] When the inclination angle of the horizontal section of the pipe is 0, i.e. the horizontal section of the pipe is a horizontal pipe, the angle term of formula (10) is 0, and the momentum equation of the horizontal pipe can be obtained, as shown in the following formula:
[0135]
[0136] In the above formula, some parameters can be represented by the following formula:
[0137]
[0138] wherein f wg can represent the Fanning friction factor of the gas phase, and can be calculated by the single-term Blasius formula, i.e. wherein the Reynolds number Re g = ρ g Dv g / μ g ; f wlThe liquid-phase Fanning friction factor can be represented, and can be calculated by the Blasius formula, i.e. wherein the Reynolds number Re l = p l Dv l / m l ; f i The gas-liquid interface Fanning friction factor can be represented.
[0139] In combination with Andritsos, which considers the horizontal pipe flow regime transition under the condition that the pipe diameter is less than 127 mm, it is proposed to use the transition apparent gas flow rate from stratified flow to wavy flow as the gas-liquid interface Fanning friction factor discrimination standard, and then the relationship between the gas-liquid interface Fanning friction factor and the gas-phase Fanning friction factor is obtained as follows:
[0140]
[0141] wherein h L represents the liquid film height of the horizontal section of the target gas well, and v sgt represents the transition apparent gas flow rate from stratified flow to wavy flow.
[0142] By expanding the geometric parameters in the above formula (11), it can be found that the geometric parameters S g , S l , S i , A g , and A l are all related to the ratio of the liquid film height and the pipe inner diameter. The momentum equation of the horizontal pipe can be represented as a function of the ratio of the liquid film height and the pipe inner diameter, i.e. formula (11) can be represented as:
[0143]
[0144] In some embodiments, in combination with the above formula (14), and based on the geometric relationship shown by b in Figure 3 , the formula of the horizontal liquid holdup can be obtained, and the horizontal liquid holdup can be determined by the following formula:
[0145]
[0146] wherein H L(0) represents the horizontal liquid holdup, a represents the angle corresponding to the liquid film of the horizontal section of the target gas well, h L represents the liquid film height of the horizontal section of the target gas well, and D represents the inner diameter of the pipe of the horizontal section of the target gas well.
[0147] In some embodiments, the horizontal section of the target gas well can be a pipe with a length less than 10 m, and the flow process of the target gas well can be analyzed based on the gas phase flow data and the liquid phase flow data, the flow data in the experimental process can be collected, and based on the flow data, the no-slip holdup rate data of the target gas well and the corresponding inclination angle data of the horizontal section of the target gas well can be determined. Further, based on the horizontal holdup rate, the no-slip holdup rate data and the inclination angle data of the horizontal section, the inclined pipe holdup rate suitable for the horizontal section of the target gas well can be obtained by fitting the correction angle coefficient based on the horizontal pipe.
[0148] In some embodiments, the no-slip holdup rate of the horizontal section of the target gas well obtained by fitting can be represented by the following formula:
[0149] H L(s) =H L(0) [1+a(sinθ) 3 +b(sinθ) 2 +c sinθ] Formula (16)
[0150] Wherein, a, b, c represent the coefficients of the polynomial obtained by fitting, that is, the coefficients of the inclination angle, H L(0) represents the horizontal holdup rate, H L(s) represents the no-slip holdup rate.
[0151] It can be understood that the above formula (16) is an example of the expression of the no-slip holdup rate provided by the present application, and in other embodiments, the expression of the no-slip holdup rate can also include higher power sinθ terms, which are not limited by the present application.
[0152] It can be understood that the no-slip holdup rate provided by the embodiments of the present application considers the change of the well trajectory angle of the actual horizontal section of the shale gas well, wherein the involved parameters can be obtained by calculation formula, which is simple, convenient and fast, and has high accuracy.
[0153] In some embodiments, the liquid flow rate in the wellbore includes the liquid amount flowing to the wellhead and the remaining liquid amount in the wellbore (dead circulation in the wellbore without being lifted to the wellhead), and to determine whether a certain position is liquid-accumulating, the actual liquid amount at the position and the liquid amount brought to the wellhead can be calculated, wherein the liquid amount divided by the cross-sectional area is the holdup rate. The actual liquid amount can be represented by the transient holdup rate, and the liquid amount brought to the wellhead can be represented by the no-slip holdup rate.
[0154] In some embodiments, if the non-slippage fluid holdup data at the current location of the horizontal segment of the target gas well is less than the transient fluid holdup data, it is determined that fluid accumulation exists at the current location of the horizontal segment of the target gas well, and the cross-sectional area of the fluid accumulation is determined by the following formula:
[0155]
[0156] Among them, A a H represents the cross-sectional area of the liquid accumulation. L(t) H represents the transient liquid holdup at the current position at time t. L(s) The non-slippage liquid holdup is indicated by D, and D represents the inner diameter of the horizontal section of the pipeline in the target gas well.
[0157] The following example uses an actual shale gas well as the target gas well. Figure 1 The method for determining the liquid accumulation information in the horizontal section of a gas well will be further introduced.
[0158] The method for determining the liquid accumulation information in the horizontal section of the gas well in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:
[0159] S1. Obtain shale gas well data. This may include: shale gas wellbore trajectory, downhole tubing data, and well production data. The shale gas wellbore trajectory data can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown; downhole tubing data may include: casing inner diameter D = 0.125m, tubing depth L = 3500m, inner diameter d = 0.05066m; gas well production data may include: gas production Q g =3×10 4 m 3 / d, water production Q l =5m 3 / d、Wellhead oil pressure p wh =5.7MPa, bottom hole temperature t=97.6℃, liquid density ρ l =1000kg / m 3 wait;
[0160] S2. Calculate the gas-liquid two-phase flow parameters in the horizontal section, including gas phase flow parameter data and liquid phase flow parameter data. Specifically, this may include calculating the gas-liquid two-phase flow pressure in the horizontal section, as well as calculating the apparent gas velocity and apparent liquid velocity.
[0161] Specifically, the wellbore pressure drop model using formulas (1) to (5) mentioned above can be used to describe the relationship between the flow pressure and depth of the gas well. Based on the obtained gas well data, the relationship between the gas-liquid two-phase flow pressure and depth of the shale gas well can be constructed, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the pressure profile of a shale gas wellbore.
[0162] Depend on Figure 4It can be seen that the gas-liquid two-phase flow pressure of the shale gas well gradually decreases with the increase of the depth of the shale gas well, and the combination of Figure 2 It can be seen that when the depth of the shale gas well no longer changes, that is, in the horizontal section of the shale gas well, the gas-liquid two-phase flow pressure is basically stable and unchanged, and the pressure value here can be used as the gas-liquid two-phase flow pressure of the horizontal section of the shale gas well.
[0163] After calculating the gas-liquid two-phase flow pressure of the horizontal section of the shale gas well, the apparent gas flow rate and the apparent liquid flow rate of the horizontal section of the shale gas well can be calculated based on the gas production rate, the water production rate, the bottom hole temperature, the liquid density, the inner diameter of the tubing, the inner diameter of the casing and other parameters obtained in step S1 and the calculated horizontal section gas-liquid two-phase flow pressure.
[0164] In this embodiment, the gas production rate and the liquid production rate within one day are taken as an example, and the day is converted into seconds, so that the time T in formula (6) and formula (7) is 24*60*60=86400, and the apparent gas flow rate v sg and the apparent liquid flow rate v sl in formula (6) and formula (7) can be further expressed as:
[0165]
[0166]
[0167] Taking 20℃ as the standard temperature, and converting the Celsius temperature into the thermodynamic temperature, the natural gas volume fraction B g in formula (8) in the foregoing can be further expressed as:
[0168]
[0169] Specifically, the apparent gas flow rate v sg and the apparent liquid flow rate v sl of the shale gas well can be calculated based on the above formula (18)-formula (20) in combination with the measured data of the horizontal section of the shale gas well.
[0170] S3, calculating the no-slip holdup rate of the horizontal section of the shale gas well, specifically can include:
[0171] (1) calculating the horizontal holdup rate of the shale gas well, specifically can combine the full text Figure 3 and formula (15) derived from formula derivation to calculate the horizontal holdup rate H L(0) of the shale gas well.
[0172] (2) after calculating the horizontal holdup rate of the shale gas well, the pipeline with a length less than 10m can be used to simulate the subsection of the horizontal section of the shale gas well, and the apparent gas flow rate vsg and apparent flow rate v sl , the flow process of the shale gas well is based on the horizontal pipe holdup experiment, the flow data in the experiment process is collected, the corresponding no-slip holdup data and the corresponding inclination angle data are calculated, the relationship between the no-slip holdup H L(s) and the inclination angle is fitted and established, which is specifically as follows:
[0173] H L(s) = H L(0) [1-32.56(sinθ) 3 +7.04(sinθ) 2 +10.08sinθ] Formula (21)
[0174] Wherein, the values -32.56, 7.04 and 10.08 can correspond to the coefficients a, b and c in the formula (16) above. It can be understood that the values in the above formula (21) are taken as an example in this embodiment, and different values can be taken in other embodiments, or more terms of sinθ, higher power polynomials can be used, and the present application does not limit this.
[0175] Based on the above formula (21), combined with the actual inclination angle, liquid film height, pipe diameter and other data of the horizontal section of the shale gas well, the no-slip holdup data of the horizontal section of the shale gas well and the well trajectory data of the shale gas well can be obtained, and the specific Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the no-slip holdup profile curve and the well trajectory curve is shown. Figure 5 The horizontal distance of the horizontal section of the shale gas well from the wellhead is represented by the abscissa, and the no-slip holdup of the shale gas well is represented by the ordinate.
[0176] S4, calculate the transient holdup of the horizontal section. Specifically, the global grid can be divided based on the CFD software to generate hexahedral structured grid and set boundary layer grid at the pipe wall, VOF multiphase flow model and RNG k-ε turbulence model are selected to simulate the gas-liquid two-phase flow process of the horizontal section wellbore and export the simulated transient holdup H L(t) , the horizontal section well trajectory and the transient holdup profile are simulated, as shown in Figure 6 .
[0177] S5, predict the liquid accumulation position and liquid accumulation cross-sectional area of the shale gas well. Specifically, the simulated transient holdup H L(t) and the no-slip holdup H L(s) are compared to determine the liquid accumulation position, and the difference between the two is calculated to obtain the cross-sectional area A a occupied by the liquid accumulation at the position by combining the formula (17) above.
[0178] In some embodiments, the non-slippage holdup profile, transient holdup profile, and wellbore trajectory can be plotted on the same graph to obtain... Figure 7 The liquid holdup profile curve shown is as follows. Figure 7 As shown, the horizontal axis represents the horizontal distance of the shale gas well's horizontal section from the wellhead, and the vertical axis represents the shale gas well's liquid holdup. (Reference) Figure 7 As shown, based on the positional relationship between the non-slip liquid holding capacity profile curve and the transient liquid holding capacity profile curve in the figure, that is, if it is determined that the transient liquid holding capacity profile curve is above the non-slip liquid holding capacity profile curve, it can be determined that there is liquid accumulation at the corresponding location. Figure 7 It can be determined that liquid accumulation exists in the shale gas wells within horizontal distances of 1620–1700 m and 2040–2110 m, respectively. The liquid accumulation areas can be described as follows: Figure 7 The area shown is within the dashed box.
[0179] After determining the location of fluid accumulation in the horizontal section of a shale gas well, the cross-sectional area occupied by the fluid at that location can be obtained by calculating the difference between the two values, based on formula (17) mentioned earlier. For example, using... Figure 8 Taking the cross-sectional area occupied by the liquid at the dashed line as an example, the transient liquid holdup H at the dashed line can be calculated. L(t) With no slippage retention rate H L(s) The difference, multiplied by πD 2 / 4 gives the cross-sectional area occupied by the accumulated liquid at that location.
