Most researchers use numerical simulation methods to reduce development costs, and formulate reasonable development plans and provide scientific guidance based on simulation results. The numerical simulation method of reservoirs refers to the use of models to study the dynamic changes of reservoirs, including physical simulation and mathematical (numerical) simulation. Physical simulation refers to the indoor study of reservoir development dynamics, while the main principle of the numerical simulation method of reservoirs is to use a set of partial differential equations to describe the state of reservoir exploitation, and obtain changes in development indicators through computer numerical solutions. The numerical simulation method of reservoirs can take into account the impact of factors such as reservoir geometry, heterogeneity, changes in rock and fluid properties, well network mode and production on dynamics. It is the method that considers the most factors in reservoir dynamic research so far, and has become one of the important means of reservoir development research. The main feature of the numerical simulation method is to analyze and predict development dynamics by simulating and analyzing the fluid and energy distribution in the reservoir.

[0079] Construct a well location grid model and calculate the permeability and porosity of each grid;

[0080] Based on the critical path seepage theory, the actual rock pore throat characteristics and seepage channel characteristics are considered in the well location grid model to construct a critical radius model; the critical radius model includes:

[0081] The critical radius r between grids i and j cij for:

[0084] Based on the critical radius model, the volume flow rate q between grid i and grid j is expressed as ij :

[0085]

[0086] Δp ij =(p i -p j )=(p oi -p oj +ρgZ i -ρgZ j )

[0088] Step 2: Establishing a single-phase flow and pressure diffusion model of the reservoir based on the critical radius model and the mass conservation equation; this step specifically includes the following methods:

[0089] S21, obtain the grid micro-element of the critical radius model, and express the fluid seepage velocity in three dimensions based on the grid micro-element:

[0090]

[0091] Among them, v x , v y , v z are the components of the seepage velocity in the x-axis direction, y-axis direction, and z-axis direction respectively; l x , l y , l z are the lengths of the grid edges of the grid microelement in the x-axis direction, y-axis direction, and z-axis direction respectively; The conductivity gradient of the critical path between grid i and grid j is expressed as

[0092] S22, according to the law of conservation of mass, in unit time, the mass of fluid flowing into the grid micro-element minus the mass of fluid flowing out of the unit = the change in the mass of fluid in the unit, such as Figure 2 As shown; the mass flow rate on each side of the grid microelement is replaced by the mass of the center point of its side; based on the law of conservation of mass and fluid seepage velocity, the fluid mass flow rate is expressed in three dimensions:

[0093]

[0094] The center coordinates of the microelement of grid i are (x i ,y i ,z i );Δl x , Δl y , Δl z are the side lengths of the microelement in the x, y, and z directions respectively; ρ is the density of the single-phase fluid; v x 、v y 、v z are the flow velocities of the single-phase fluid in the x, y, and z directions respectively; Δx, Δy, and Δz are the distances that the single-phase fluid flows in the x, y, and z directions of the microelement respectively;

[0095] S23, since the reservoir rock and the fluid inside the rock pore throat are both compressible, it is necessary to consider the state of the porous medium and the state of the elastic liquid, construct the state equation of the grid micro-element, and determine the change of the fluid mass flow rate in the grid micro-element according to the state equation;

[0096] The state equation of the grid microelement is:

[0097] φ c =φ c0 [1+C φc (p-p0)]

[0098] ρ=ρ0[1+C ρ (p-p0)]

[0099] In the formula, φ c is the pressure p of grid i and grid j. i and p j The arithmetic mean of i +p j ) / 2 variable porosity, dimensionless; φ c0 is the average effective porosity of grid i and grid j under the initial pressure, and its value is φ at the initial moment cij value, dimensionless; ρ is the density value that changes with pressure p, unit kg / m 3 ; ρ0 is the density at the initial pressure, kg / m 3 ; C φc0 and C ρ are the compressibility coefficients of porosity and density, in Pa -1 ; p0 is the initial pressure value (its value is the initial pressure p of grid i and grid j i0 and p j0 The arithmetic mean of p0=(p i0 +p j0 ) / 2), unit: Pa.

[0100] Multiplying the two equations of the state equation gives:

[0101] φ c ρ=φ c0 ρ0+φ c0 ρ0(C φc +C ρ )(p-p0)+φ c0 ρ0C φc C ρ (p-p0) 2

[0102] Let C t =C φc +C ρ , due to C φc and C ρ are all very small constants, so C is omitted in formula (27) φc ·C ρ Then we get:

[0103] φ c ρ=φ c0 ρ0+φ c0 ρ0(C φc +C ρ )(p-p0)=φ c0 ρ0+φ c0 ρ0C t (p-p0)

[0104] The change of fluid mass flow rate in the grid microelement is:

[0106] Among them, φ c Indicates the porosity that changes with the average pressure p, p = (p i +p j ) / 2), p i and p j are the pressures of grid i and grid j respectively; t represents time.

[0107] According to the law of conservation of matter:

[0108]

[0109] Divide both sides of the above formula by Δl x Δl y Δl z ,get:

[0110]

[0111] Let Δx→0, Δy→0, Δz→0, and we get Formula 1:

[0112]

[0113] Taking the derivative of formula 1 with respect to time, we can get formula 2:

[0114] The left side of formula 2 is related to the seepage velocity in the x direction in formula 3:

[0115]

[0116] Similarly, we can get Formula 4 and Formula 5 in the y and z directions:

[0117]

[0118] Formula 1 to Formula 5 are solved together to obtain Formula 6:

[0119]

[0120] Formula 6 can be written as follows:

[0121]

[0125] S25, in the established reservoir model, each grid i is connected to 6 adjacent grids j, and the inflow and outflow mass flow in any grid satisfies the law of conservation of mass. Finally, in grid i, according to the law of conservation of mass, a single-phase flow and pressure diffusion equation is obtained; this step specifically includes the following method:

[0133] Get the actual fluid. When the actual fluid is light oil, adjust the fluid viscosity in the reservoir single-phase flow and pressure diffusion model to: μ s =μ o , μ o is the viscosity of light oil;

[0134] When the actual fluid is heavy oil, a pressure threshold Pe is preset. When the actual formation pressure is greater than the pressure threshold Pe, the fluid viscosity μ in the reservoir single-phase flow and pressure diffusion model is adjusted. s for:

[0140] Step 4: Based on the finite difference method, the adjusted single-phase flow and pressure diffusion model is transformed into a nonlinear algebraic equation system, and the flow rate of the single-phase fluid in each grid is obtained by solving it;

[0141] This step specifically includes the following methods:

[0143]

[0144] In the formula, p i n+1 、p i n are the pressure values ​​of grid i at the next moment and the current moment respectively.

[0145] S42, traverse all grids according to the difference equation and construct the matrix equation:

[0146]

[0147] That is, Ap=B, where A is a symmetric, positive definite, diagonally occupied sparse matrix, and the elements in the sparse matrix are expressed as:
