Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of shale oil development technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, equipment, and storage medium for calculating the amount of carbon dioxide injected into shale oil wells. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, CO2 injection into shale oil reservoirs has become an effective means to improve the production and efficiency of older shale oil wells. Most current CO2 injection volumes for shale oil wells are optimized using empirical methods and numerical simulations. However, empirical methods, derived from field test results by designers, are inherently biased. Numerical simulations require both geological models and well-fitting numerical models, making the calculation process complex and time-consuming. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish a method for calculating CO2 injection volumes in shale oil wells based on reservoir geological characteristics, fracturing and monitoring parameters, oil phase characteristics, and production parameters. This would provide more reliable guidance and a basis for optimizing CO2 huff and puff or CO2 flooding schemes for shale oil production.

[0003] A search of existing technologies revealed similar technologies and research methods to this patent, including "Oil Production Methods, Method and Device for Determining CO2 Injection Volume for Assisted Huff and Puff Enhancement (CN111764875A)," "A Method for Improving Shale Oil Well Recovery Rate through Carbon Dioxide Composite Huff and Puff (CN111022006A)," "A New Method for Improving Shale Porosity and Permeability Conditions (CN113431546A)," "An Integrated Method for Nitrogen-Assisted Carbon Dioxide Fracturing and Development of Shale Oil Reservoirs (CN112377166A)," and "Tang Weiyu, Huang Ziyi, Chen Chao, et al. Optimization and Experimental Effect Evaluation of CO2 Huff and Puff Scheme for Jimsar Shale Oil [J]. Special Oil and Gas Reservoirs, 2022, 29(03):131-137." Overall, these existing technologies and methods are either too simplistic or too theoretical, failing to achieve targeted calculation of carbon dioxide injection volume for shale oil wells.

[0004] The invention with patent number CN111764875A proposes an oil production method, a method and device for determining the amount of CO2 injection used to assist in oil production through huff and puff, and proposes a method for calculating the amount of carbon dioxide injection in heavy oil reservoirs. This method calculates the amount of carbon dioxide based on parameters such as the geology and fluid properties of heavy oil reservoirs, but it is not applicable to unconventional shale oil reservoirs.

[0005] The invention with patent number CN111022006A proposes a method for improving the recovery rate of shale oil wells through carbon dioxide composite injection and injection. It proposes that the carbon dioxide injection volume should be 50-75t, preferably 1.5 times the effective formation thickness. However, this method only considers the formation thickness and fails to take into account the special characteristics of shale oil reservoirs in a comprehensive manner.

[0006] The invention with patent number CN113431546A proposes a new method to improve the porosity and permeability conditions of shale, suggesting that 500 tons of liquid carbon dioxide be injected every 1000 meters in the horizontal section of a shale well. However, the amount of carbon dioxide injected given by this method is too absolute and cannot be implemented in a personalized manner according to the geological conditions, fracturing scale, and production stage of different wells.

[0007] The invention with patent number CN112377166A proposes an integrated method for nitrogen-assisted carbon dioxide fracturing and development of shale oil reservoirs, pointing out that the amount of carbon dioxide injected in each huff and puff cycle is 0.1 times the pore volume. As is well known, shale oil reservoirs do not have the concept of pore volume, but only fracture volume. Therefore, this method cannot be used to guide the calculation of carbon dioxide injection in shale oil reservoirs.

[0008] The article titled "Optimization and Evaluation of CO2 Huff and Puff Scheme in Jimsar Shale Oil" describes how a basic model was established based on the reservoir overview. Building upon the numerical simulation model, optimizations were first made for the horizontal section length and reservoir thickness. Then, based on the actual injection rate, the optimal injection volume per cycle was selected. According to the numerical simulation process, the entire process is expected to take 7-10 days, requiring numerous prerequisites and is time-consuming.

[0009] In summary, existing methods provide carbon dioxide injection figures based on experience and lack a scientifically sound calculation method. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new, more targeted method for calculating carbon dioxide injection in shale oil reservoirs, taking into account their unique characteristics and incorporating reservoir parameters, geochemical indices, fracturing parameters and fracture monitoring data, and production parameters.

[0087] Step S3: Calculate the volume of the fracturing zone of the shale oil well based on the fracturing parameters, and calculate the volume of water within the carbon dioxide action area based on the volume of the carbon dioxide action space and the volume of the fracturing zone of the shale oil well;

[0088] The specific implementation steps of this step include step S31 and step S32;

[0089] Step S31: Calculate the volume of the fracturing zone in the shale oil well based on the fracturing parameters and formula (3). Formula (3) is:

It serves as a research tool for the key injection-production parameter—carbon dioxide injection rate—in shale oil wells.

[0104] A comparison of numerical simulation and empirical methods (Table 1) shows that the carbon dioxide injection volume calculated using this invention is close to the numerical simulation results. Compared to the 10-day calculation process of numerical simulation, the calculation time can be effectively shortened by 95%, improving work efficiency. Compared with the empirical method, it reduces carbon injection by 576 tons, saving gas injection volume and lowering the cost of the measure; at the same time, the initial daily oil production increase is 45.22%-84.19%, and the measure's effect is better than the empirical method.
