Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coalbed methane exploitation, and in particular to a method, device and storage medium for predicting average formation pressure of a coalbed methane reservoir. Background Art

[0002] As one of the key unconventional resources, coalbed methane has attracted great attention worldwide because it helps to ease energy shortages, reduce coal mine accidents and reduce environmental burdens. The exploitation of undersaturated coalbed methane reservoirs is affected by reserves and average formation pressure, which are crucial for estimating the original geological reserves, remaining reserves and evaluating the interference between wells of coalbed methane reservoirs. They are of great theoretical and practical significance for analyzing the production performance of gas wells and evaluating production capacity.

[0003] At present, the method for calculating the average formation pressure of undersaturated coalbed methane reservoirs not only considers the production of gas, but also includes the production of water. This requires understanding many parameters such as the relative density of gas, the temperature of the coal reservoir, the initial porosity, the original water saturation, the pore compressibility coefficient and the water phase compressibility coefficient. In the process of calculating the average formation pressure of coalbed methane reservoirs, in addition to the need to input the cumulative gas production, the cumulative water production must also be input, and the gas deviation coefficient needs to be calculated iteratively, which makes the calculation process complicated. Especially for medium and shallow coalbed methane reservoirs and deep coalbed methane reservoirs without free gas, the formation structure is simple and does not actually require so many parameters. Frequent measurement and calculation will not only affect the production capacity and output of coalbed methane, but also increase the cost of coalbed methane mining. Summary of the invention

[0046] Figure 1The following schematically shows a flow chart of a method for predicting the average formation pressure of a coalbed methane reservoir according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for predicting the average formation pressure of a coalbed methane reservoir, and the prediction method may include the following steps:

[0047] S101, determining a pressure index of a target coalbed methane reservoir according to a gas reservoir temperature and a pore size of the target coalbed.

[0048] S102, during the mining process of the target coalbed methane reservoir, multiple groups of cumulative gas production and their corresponding measured average formation pressures are recorded.

[0049] S103, obtaining the Langmuir volume and Langmuir pressure of the target coalbed methane reservoir.

[0050] S104, importing the Langmuir volume, Langmuir pressure, pressure index, multiple groups of cumulative gas production and multiple groups of measured average formation pressure into the Langmuir-Freundrich model to determine the total gas reserves and critical desorption pressure of the target coalbed methane reservoir.

[0051] S105, predicting an average formation pressure corresponding to each cumulative gas production according to the total gas reserves, critical desorption pressure, Langmuir pressure and pressure index of the target coalbed methane reservoir.

[0052] In the process of coalbed methane exploitation, it is necessary to calculate the average formation pressure of the coalbed methane reservoir in order to analyze the production dynamics, production capacity, remaining reserves and other data of the gas well. However, the method of determining the average formation pressure in the prior art is not convenient to measure, resulting in a long interval between each measurement of the average formation pressure in the production data table. The present application can predict the measured average formation pressure corresponding to other cumulative gas production based on the cumulative gas production and the corresponding measured average formation pressure in the production cycle table, thereby better guiding the production process.

[0053] Specifically, when predicting the average formation pressure of the target coal seam, the pressure index of the target coal seam is first determined according to the gas reservoir temperature and pore size of the target coal seam. During the mining process of the target coal seam, the cumulative gas production and its corresponding measured average formation pressure data are recorded, which are the key inputs in the subsequent prediction process. By accurately measuring and recording these data, the accuracy and reliability of the prediction results can be ensured. Subsequently, these data and key parameters such as the Langmuir volume and Langmuir pressure of the target coal seam are imported into the Langmuir-Freundrich model. This model is a verified mathematical model that can comprehensively consider the complex characteristics of coal seam gas reservoirs, including the physical properties of the gas reservoir, fluid properties, and dynamic changes during the mining process. Through the calculation of this model, important parameters such as the total gas reserves and critical desorption pressure of the target coal seam gas reservoir can be obtained. Finally, based on these parameters and the pressure index, the average formation pressure corresponding to each cumulative gas production can be predicted using a specific prediction formula. This prediction result can provide important technical support for the exploitation of coalbed methane reservoirs, help engineers better understand the dynamic changes of gas reservoirs, formulate reasonable exploitation plans, and improve exploitation efficiency and economic benefits.

[0054] The above prediction method can effectively overcome the problem of inconvenient calculation of the average formation pressure method in the prior art, making the average formation pressure prediction of coalbed methane reservoirs more accurate and efficient. In addition, the application of this method can also shorten the interval time for calculating the average formation pressure in the production data table, providing more timely and reliable data support for the exploitation of coalbed methane reservoirs. This not only helps to improve the exploitation efficiency of coalbed methane reservoirs, but also further reduce the exploitation cost and improve economic benefits.

[0055] In one embodiment, the steps of importing the Langmuir volume, Langmuir pressure, pressure index, multiple groups of cumulative gas production and multiple groups of measured average formation pressure into the Langmuir-Friedrich model to determine the total gas reserves and critical desorption pressure of the target coalbed methane reservoir include: constructing a material balance equation for the coalbed methane reservoir based on the Langmuir volume, Langmuir pressure and pressure index; constructing a material balance equation for the cumulative production and p based on the material balance equation m / (p L m +p m ), where p is the average formation pressure, pL is the Langmuir pressure, and m is the pressure exponent; the slope and vertical intercept of the linear function are determined according to multiple groups of measured average formation pressures and multiple groups of cumulative gas production; the total gas reserves of the target coalbed methane reservoir are determined according to the slope and vertical intercept of the linear function.

[0056] In the process of determining the total gas reserves and critical desorption pressure of the target coalbed methane reservoir, the material balance equation of the coalbed methane reservoir can be first constructed based on the Langmuir volume, Langmuir pressure and pressure index, and then this equation can be used to describe the dynamic equilibrium state of gas flow in the coalbed methane reservoir. The material balance equation is an important theoretical basis for the exploitation of coalbed methane reservoirs. It takes into account multiple factors such as the geometric shape of the gas reservoir, fluid characteristics and exploitation conditions, and can more accurately reflect the gas flow inside the gas reservoir. After constructing the material balance equation, the cumulative production and p can be further derived based on this equation. m / (p L m +p m ). The key to this step is to simplify the complex material balance equation into a linear function form through mathematical transformation, so as to facilitate subsequent calculation and analysis. The slope and ordinate intercept of the linear function are key parameters for determining the total gas reserves of the target coalbed methane reservoir. These parameters can be obtained by fitting multiple sets of measured average formation pressure and corresponding cumulative gas production data. After determining the slope and ordinate intercept of the linear function, the total gas reserves of the target coalbed methane reservoir can be calculated based on these parameters and the expression of the linear function. The determination of the total gas reserves is of great significance to the exploitation of coalbed methane reservoirs. It can help engineers better understand the reserve scale of the gas reservoir, formulate a reasonable exploitation plan, and ensure the smooth progress of the exploitation process. At the same time, the accurate calculation of the total gas reserves is also the basis for the subsequent prediction of parameters such as average formation pressure. It is worth noting that the prediction method in the embodiment of the present application is not only applicable to undersaturated coalbed methane reservoirs, but can also be extended to other types of coalbed methane reservoirs or oil and gas reservoirs.

[0057] In one embodiment, the material balance equation of the coalbed methane reservoir is constructed as follows:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, G p is the cumulative production, h is the coal reservoir thickness of the target CBM reservoir, A is the controlled area of ​​the target CBM reservoir, ρ c is the coal rock density of the target CBM reservoir, V L is the Langmuir volume, p d is the critical desorption pressure of the target coalbed methane reservoir, p L is the Langmuir pressure, p is the average formation pressure, and m is the pressure index. The material balance equation comprehensively considers the geometric parameters of the coalbed methane reservoir (such as coal reservoir thickness h, control area A), physical parameters (such as coal rock density ρ c 、Langmuir volume V L , Langmuir pressure p L , critical desorption pressure p d) and pressure index m and other factors can more comprehensively reflect the flow and storage status of gas in coalbed methane reservoirs.

[0060] In one embodiment, the cumulative production and p are constructed based on the material balance equation. m / (p L m +p m ) includes the following steps:

[0061] Based on the transformation of formula (1), the following formula (2) is obtained:

[0062]

[0063] Based on formula (2), the linear function expression (3) is obtained by further transformation:

[0064]

[0065] Where N represents the vertical intercept of the linear function. M represents the slope of a linear function. G is the reserves of coalbed methane in the coalbed methane reservoir, G p is the cumulative output, p d is the critical desorption pressure of the target coalbed methane reservoir, p L is the Langmuir pressure, p is the average formation pressure, and m is the pressure index.

[0066] In constructing the cumulative output and p m / (p L m +p m), firstly, mathematical transformation is performed based on the material balance equation of the coalbed methane reservoir, and the complex equation form is gradually simplified into a linear function form. The key to this step is to express the various parameters and variables in the equation in a linear relationship through reasonable mathematical deduction, so as to facilitate subsequent calculation and analysis. Formula (2) introduces new variables and parameters by deforming the equation, making the form of the equation more concise and clear. Furthermore, in formula (3), the equation is completely transformed into an expression of a linear function, where N and M represent the vertical intercept and slope of the linear function respectively. These two parameters are the key to determining the linear function and the basis for the subsequent calculation of the total gas reserves. After determining the expression of the linear function, the specific values ​​of the slope and the vertical intercept can be determined by fitting multiple sets of measured data. After obtaining the slope and the vertical intercept, the total gas reserves of the target coalbed methane reservoir can be calculated based on these parameters and the expression of the linear function. The determination of the total gas reserves is of great significance to the exploitation of coalbed methane reservoirs. It can help engineers better understand the reserve scale of the gas reservoir and provide an important basis for formulating a reasonable exploitation plan. At the same time, accurate calculation of total gas reserves is also the basis for subsequent analysis such as average formation pressure prediction. m / (p L m +p m ), it is necessary to strictly follow the mathematical derivation rules to ensure the correctness and rationality of the equation transformation.

[0067] In one embodiment, the total gas reserves of the target coalbed methane reservoir are determined according to the following formula (4):

[0068]

[0069] Among them, G is the reserves of coalbed methane in the coalbed methane reservoir, N represents the vertical intercept of the linear function, and M represents the slope of the linear function. The above method for calculating the total reserves of the target coal seam achieves accurate calculation of the total gas reserves of the target coalbed methane reservoir by constructing a linear function about the ratio of cumulative production to specific pressure and cleverly using the slope and vertical intercept of the function. This method not only simplifies the complex calculation steps, but also significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of the calculation.

[0070] In one embodiment, the average formation pressure is determined according to the following formula (5):

[0071]

[0072] Where p is the average formation pressure, p L is the Langmuir pressure, m is the pressure index, N is the vertical intercept of the linear function, G is the reserves of coalbed methane in the coalbed methane reservoir, G pis the cumulative production. The above prediction method is used to determine the average formation pressure, which can more accurately reflect the dynamic changes of the coalbed methane reservoir during the mining process. In formula (5), by comprehensively considering multiple parameters such as Langmuir pressure, pressure index, vertical axis intercept of the linear function, total gas reserves of the target coalbed methane reservoir, and cumulative production, a mathematical relationship between the average formation pressure and these parameters is established. The establishment of this relationship enables engineers to accurately predict the average formation pressure of the coalbed methane reservoir based on known mining data and parameters. By adopting the above prediction method, engineers can more scientifically guide the mining process of the coalbed methane reservoir, optimize the mining strategy, and ensure the smooth progress of mining activities. At the same time, the application of this prediction method can also provide strong technical support for the subsequent development of coalbed methane reservoirs and promote the continuous progress and development of coalbed methane mining technology.

[0073] In one embodiment, the critical desorption pressure of the target coalbed methane reservoir is determined according to the following formula (6):

[0074]

[0075] Among them, p d is the critical desorption pressure of the target coalbed methane reservoir, p L is the Langmuir pressure, m is the pressure index, and N represents the vertical intercept of the linear function. In the above formula (6), by comprehensively considering the Langmuir pressure, pressure index and vertical intercept of the linear function of the coalbed methane reservoir, the critical desorption pressure is accurately calculated. This step is a key link in the process of predicting the average formation pressure of the coalbed methane reservoir, because the critical desorption pressure is one of the important parameters reflecting the mining characteristics of the coalbed methane reservoir. By accurately calculating the critical desorption pressure, the mining dynamics of the coalbed methane reservoir can be more deeply understood, providing a strong basis for formulating a reasonable mining strategy. This prediction result can provide important technical support for the mining of coalbed methane reservoirs, help engineers better grasp the dynamic changes of gas reservoirs, optimize mining plans, and improve mining efficiency and economic benefits. In summary, the prediction method for the average formation pressure of the coalbed methane reservoir provided in the embodiment of the present application not only overcomes the problem of inconvenient calculation of the average formation pressure method in the prior art, but also provides more accurate and efficient technical support for the mining of coalbed methane reservoirs by accurately calculating key parameters such as total gas reserves and critical desorption pressure.

[0076] In one embodiment, the prediction method further includes determining the controlled area of ​​the target coalbed methane reservoir according to the following formula (7):

[0077]

[0078] Where h is the coal reservoir thickness of the target coalbed methane reservoir, A is the control area of ​​the target coalbed methane reservoir, ρ cis the coal rock density of the target CBM reservoir, V L is the Langmuir volume, and M represents the slope of the linear function.

[0079] The above prediction method is used to determine the control area of ​​the target coalbed methane reservoir, which can more accurately reflect the geometric characteristics of the coalbed methane reservoir and provide an important basis for subsequent mining plans and resource development. In formula (7), by comprehensively considering multiple parameters such as coal reservoir thickness, coal rock density, Langmuir volume, and the slope of the linear function, a mathematical relationship between the control area and these parameters is established. The establishment of this relationship enables engineers to accurately predict the control area based on the known coalbed methane reservoir characteristics.

[0080] In a specific embodiment, the Langmuir volume of the target coal seam is 12.5 m 3 / t, Langmuir pressure is 2.75MP a , the pressure index is 1.1. During the mining process of the target coalbed methane reservoir, the following is obtained: Figure 2 The following is a dynamic curve diagram of the cumulative gas production and daily gas production changing with production time and the following production data table:

[0081] Table 1 The measured average formation pressure of the target coalbed methane reservoir and the corresponding cumulative gas production data table

[0082]

[0083] Take G in Table 1 p is the horizontal axis, p m / (p L m +p m ) is the vertical axis, and a scatter plot is made in the rectangular coordinate graph, such as Figure 3 As shown, a linear function is applied to fit these data points, and the slope M of the linear function is -0.059535 (10 6 m 3 ) -1 , the vertical intercept N of the linear function is 0.779649.

[0084] Then, the total gas reserves of the target coalbed methane reservoir can be calculated using the following formula:

[0085]

[0086] Critical desorption pressure of coalbed methane reservoir d It can be calculated by the following formula:

[0087]

[0088] Since the coal reservoir thickness of the target CBM reservoir is h = 11m, the coal rock density ρ c=1.5t / m 3 , the coal reservoir thickness h, coal rock density ρ c , Langmuir V L Substituting the linear function slope M into the following formula, the controlled area A of the coalbed methane reservoir can be calculated:

[0089]

[0090] Taking the cumulative gas production data of 3000 days of production as an example, according to Figure 2 The curve in the figure shows that the cumulative output Gp in 3000 days is Gp = 2.507165 (10 6 m 3 ), substituting the Langmuir pressure, pressure index, reserves of the target coalbed methane reservoir and critical desorption pressure into the above formula (5) yields:

[0091]

[0092] By adopting the above calculation steps, the average formation pressure corresponding to each cumulative production of the target coalbed methane reservoir can be obtained, thereby realizing the accurate prediction of the formation pressure change during the coalbed methane reservoir exploitation process. This prediction method not only improves the accuracy of the calculation, but also provides a scientific basis for the rational exploitation of coalbed methane reservoirs. Engineers can formulate more reasonable mining plans and optimize mining strategies based on these prediction results to ensure efficient and safe mining of coalbed methane reservoirs. At the same time, the application of this method can also help reduce mining costs, improve economic benefits, and provide support for the sustainable utilization of coalbed methane resources. In addition, this prediction method also has strong adaptability and flexibility, and can be adjusted and optimized according to different coalbed methane reservoir characteristics and mining conditions to meet the needs of the actual mining process. Therefore, this prediction method has broad application prospects and important practical significance in the field of coalbed methane reservoir exploitation.

[0093] Furthermore, according to the above prediction method, it can be predicted that Figure 2 The corresponding dynamic curve of the average formation pressure of the target coalbed methane reservoir changing with production time is shown in the following figure: Figure 4 shown.
