Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oilfield development, and in particular relates to a composite oil production method for enhanced flooding of a deep-layer strong edge water heavy oil reservoir. Background Art

[0002] Shengli Oilfield has 55.91 million tons of thick heavy oil reservoirs such as Dan 2, Dan 10 and Dan 113, which are characterized by "deep burial" (1100-1300m), "thick oil layer" (10-60m), and "large water body" (water body multiple >5). Affected by the heavy oil and active edge and bottom water, the steam huff and puff recovery is low, and a large amount of residual oil is retained underground and cannot be recovered. It is urgent to tackle the problem of improving the recovery rate, and steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) technology is an effective way to exploit thick and ultra-heavy oil reservoirs. In foreign countries, SAGD has been widely used in shallow layers of 500m, and the field recovery rate has reached 50% to 60%. The Liaohe Oilfield in China has made a breakthrough in SAGD of ultra-heavy oil in medium and deep layers of Du 84 and shallower than 900m, and has gradually promoted industrialization in Shuyi District. The production scale has steadily increased. In 2017, the annual oil production of SAGD reached 1.06 million tons, accounting for 40% of the total heavy oil production.

[0003] Invention patent CN105649588B discloses a method for exploiting heavy oil reservoirs using SAGD. It includes: step 1, setting a vertical well at a position where at least part of the steam chamber is not developed above the horizontal section of the injection well; step 2, injecting steam into the vertical well and the injection well, and using the production well to produce oil. In the later stage of SAGD, the invention sets a vertical well at a position where no steam chamber is developed, and injects steam into the vertical well, and then uses the heat of steam to promote the development of no steam chamber, thereby achieving the effect of uniform development of steam chambers in the horizontal section, but it cannot solve the problem of difficulty in expanding steam chambers and high risk of water invasion in deep strong edge water heavy oil reservoirs.

[0004] Patent application CN111364961A is a super-heavy oil SAGD production method. It includes: step 1, setting a steam injection well and a production well, and both the steam injection well and the production well extend to the super-heavy oil reservoir; step 2, introducing steam into the super-heavy oil reservoir through the steam injection well and / or the production well to form a steam chamber in the super-heavy oil reservoir; step 3, determining the position of the interlayer in the super-heavy oil reservoir, and setting a tool lowering well, and extending the tool lowering well to the position of the interlayer; step 4, lowering the injection tool to the position of the interlayer through the tool lowering well; step 5, injecting sand-containing fluid into the interlayer through the injection tool to form cracks inside the interlayer, and allowing the steam chamber to break through the interlayer through the cracks. This invention solves the problem of low SAGD production efficiency and low oil-gas ratio in super-heavy oil reservoirs with interlayers, but cannot solve the problem of difficulty in expanding the steam chamber and high risk of water invasion in deep-layer strong edge water heavy oil reservoirs.

[0005] SAGD technology mainly uses the latent heat of steam to heat the oil reservoir, which requires high bottom hole dryness and low reservoir pressure. However, Shengli's thick and heavy oil is buried deep (low bottom hole dryness), the water body energy is relatively large (high reservoir pressure), and the oil reservoir has a certain amount of water invasion (local water invasion channels have been formed). The use of SAGD for development faces the problems of difficulty in expanding the steam chamber and high risk of water invasion. Summary of the invention

[0022] Preferably, in step 103, the criterion for determining whether thermal interference occurs between a vertical well and a horizontal well is that when steam is injected into a vertical well or a horizontal well, an increase in the temperature of produced fluid at the wellhead of an adjacent production well is monitored or steam flashing occurs.

[0082] Embodiment 12:

[0083] A composite oil recovery method for enhanced flooding in a deep layer heavy oil reservoir with strong edge water, such as Figure 1 As shown, a method for enhanced flooding composite oil production in a deep strong edge water heavy oil reservoir is provided. In step 101, a conceptual model of a SAGD well group of a vertical-horizontal well combination in a deep strong edge water heavy oil reservoir is established, the SAGD development effect of different reservoir parameters is predicted, and the limits of various reservoir parameters are determined according to the principle of economic benefit, and the screening criteria for flooding composite oil production reservoirs are obtained in Table 1.

[0084] Table 1 Screening criteria for flooding and drainage composite oil recovery reservoirs

[0085]

[0086] In a possible implementation, according to the flooding composite oil recovery screening criteria, the selected deep layer strong edge water heavy oil reservoir is: buried depth 1100-1230m, continuous oil layer thickness 25-50m, net-to-total thickness ratio 0.7, plane permeability 3500×10 -3 μm 2 , vertical permeability 1500×10 -3 μm 2 , oil saturation 0.47-0.58, degassed crude oil viscosity 6079-16000 mPa·s at formation temperature. The process proceeds to step 102 .

[0087] Further, in step 102, a horizontal well is set at a dimensionless distance of 0.2 from the bottom of the oil layer in the selected deep strong edge water heavy oil reservoir, and the horizontal section length is more than 300m. On the plane, a row of vertical wells is set at 35-40m on both sides of the horizontal well, with 3 wells in each row, and the vertical well perforation bottom boundary is 5-7m away from the horizontal well in the longitudinal direction, and the perforation top boundary is the top of the oil layer.

[0088] In a possible implementation, a horizontal well is first drilled at a location of 30m in thickness of the target reservoir, 6m from the bottom of the oil layer, with a horizontal section length of 400m. Three vertical wells are then drilled at 38m on both sides of the horizontal well, with the bottom boundary of the vertical perforation of each vertical well being 7m away from the horizontal well, and all the oil layers above the bottom boundary are perforated. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a vertical cross-section of a vertical-horizontal well in a specific embodiment of the present invention. The process enters step 103 .

[0089] Further, in step 103, steam injection and huff-and-puff production are respectively performed on one horizontal well and six vertical wells until more than one vertical well on each side has thermal interference with the horizontal well. The criterion for determining thermal interference between the vertical well and the horizontal well is that when steam is injected into the vertical well or the horizontal well, a significant increase in the temperature of the produced fluid at the wellhead of the adjacent vertical well or the horizontal well is monitored or steam flash occurs.

[0090] In a possible implementation, when the horizontal well is subjected to single-well steam injection and huffing for the fifth cycle, it is monitored that the produced fluid of a vertical well on the left side of the horizontal well suddenly rises from 49°C to 73°C, and the water content also rises sharply from 82% to 94%, and it is determined that thermal interference occurs between the horizontal well and the vertical well; when the single-well steam injection and huffing is performed on a vertical well on the right side of the horizontal well for the sixth cycle, it is monitored that the produced fluid of the horizontal well suddenly rises from 45°C to 68°C, and the water content also rises sharply from 77% to 90%, and it is determined that thermal interference occurs between the vertical well and the horizontal well, and the steam injection and huffing mode is switched from single-well huffing to the same injection and production mode. The process enters step 104.

[0091] Furthermore, in step 104, after thermal interference occurs in the single well huff and puff, one horizontal well and six vertical wells are simultaneously injected with steam, shut down the wells, and produced simultaneously for several rounds until the formation temperature between the vertical and horizontal wells reaches above 80°C, and it is considered that thermal connection has been achieved between the wells. During simultaneous injection and production, the steam injection intensity of each well is 2 to 3 times the steam injection intensity during single well huff and puff, and the shut down time is 10 to 15 days. Numerical simulation is used to predict the number of simultaneous injection and production rounds required for the wells to achieve thermal connection, which is the time for the reservoir to enter enhanced flooding and drainage composite oil production.

[0092] In one possible implementation, a simultaneous steam injection and production mode is implemented for one horizontal well and six vertical wells. The steam injection intensity of each vertical well is increased from 100t / m during single well throughput to 200t / m, and the steam injection intensity of the horizontal well is increased from 7.5t per meter of horizontal section during single well throughput to 15t, then the total gas injection volume of the cycle is 42,000t. Due to the high steam injection intensity of simultaneous injection and production, the well holding time is appropriately extended to 12 days to better heat the formation. Numerical simulation tracks this simultaneous injection and production mode, predicting that after two rounds, the formation temperature between the vertical and horizontal wells will reach above 80°C in a large range, and then it can enter the enhanced flooding and drainage composite oil production stage. Figure 3 This is a diagram of the reservoir temperature field when the thermal connection between wells is achieved in the vertical and horizontal well co-injection and co-production mode predicted by a digital model in a specific embodiment of the present invention. The process enters step 105.

[0093] Further, in step 105, during the enhanced flooding and composite oil recovery stage, whether the vertical well is injected with steam and non-condensable gas or solvent plug depends on the crude oil viscosity of the reservoir. When the viscosity of the degassed crude oil is less than 10000 mPa·s at the formation temperature, it is more economical to select the non-condensable gas N2 plug. When the viscosity of the degassed crude oil is greater than 10000 mPa·s at the formation temperature, the solvent n-hexane plug is selected to ensure the oil recovery effect. When steam is injected,

[0094] In one possible implementation, after entering the enhanced flooding and composite oil production stage, the three vertical wells in each row are combined in pairs to form three groups. The first group is injected first. When the mine detects steam (water) leakage from any vertical well in the first group to the horizontal well, the second group of vertical wells is rotated to inject steam, and so on. The viscosity of degassed crude oil at the target reservoir formation temperature is measured to be in the range of 6079 to 16000 mPa·s, but most oil samples are <10000 mPa·s. Therefore, non-condensable gas N2 plugs are selected for steam injection, and high-dryness gas injection technology is used to ensure that the bottom-hole dryness of the steam injected into each vertical well reaches more than 0.7, and the injection rate is 150m 3 / d; the injection rate of N2 is 100m 3 / d, the slug size is 0.5PV, and the horizontal well production rate is 300t / d. The process proceeds to step 106.

[0095] Furthermore, in step 106, the instantaneous oil-steam ratio is calculated based on the daily measured horizontal well oil production and the amount of steam injected into the vertical well (water equivalent). When the oil-steam ratio is lower than 0.12, the enhanced flooding composite oil production method of vertical well injection into horizontal well oil production is no longer economically beneficial and is stopped.

[0096] In a possible implementation, the daily oil production of horizontal wells is measured during the enhanced flooding and drainage composite production phase, and the result is divided by the total steam volume injected into the vertical wells each day to calculate the instantaneous oil-gas ratio. When the instantaneous oil-gas ratio of this group of vertical wells and horizontal wells is lower than 0.12 after 11 years of production, the net present value is negative, and the enhanced flooding and drainage composite production method of vertical wells injecting horizontal wells is stopped. Figure 4 The instantaneous oil-gas ratio variation curve of the vertical-horizontal well enhanced flooding composite oil production stage in a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0097] The above contents are further detailed descriptions of the present invention in combination with specific preferred embodiments, and it cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which should be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the present invention.
