[0002] After years of research, reservoir development methods have matured. Researchers generally use numerical simulation methods to reduce development costs and formulate reasonable development plans and provide scientific guidance based on simulation results. Numerical reservoir simulation methods use 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 numerical reservoir simulation methods is to describe the reservoir production status using a set of partial differential equations and obtain changes in development indicators through computer numerical solution. Numerical reservoir simulation methods can consider the impact of factors such as reservoir geometry, heterogeneity, changes in rock and fluid properties, well patterns, and production on dynamics. To date, this method considers the most factors in reservoir dynamics research and has become one of the important means of reservoir development research. The main feature of numerical simulation methods is the analysis and prediction of development dynamics through simulation analysis of fluid and energy distribution within 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] The volume flow rate q between grid i and grid j is expressed based on the critical radius model ij :

[0085]

[0087] Among them, κ ij is the conductivity of the critical path between grid i and grid j; B s is the volume coefficient of the single-phase fluid; μ s is the fluid viscosity; p i represents the integrated pressure of grid i, p i =p oi +ρgZ i , p oi is the pore pressure of grid i, ρgZ i is the gravity of the fluid in grid i, ρ is the fluid density, g is the acceleration due to gravity; p j represents the integrated pressure at grid j, p j =p oj +ρgZ j , p oj is the pore pressure of grid j, ρgZ j is the gravity of the fluid in grid j; Z i is the vertical height of grid i; Z j is the vertical height of grid j; l ij is the distance between the center points of grid i and grid j; Δp ij represents the pressure difference between grid i and grid j, r cij is the critical radius between grids i and j; τ is the tortuosity; φ cij represents the effective porosity between adjacent grids i and j.

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

[0089] S21, obtain the grid element of the critical radius model, and express the fluid seepage velocity in three dimensions based on the grid 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 edge of the grid element 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 element - the mass of fluid flowing out of the element = the change in the mass of fluid in the element, such as Figure 2 As shown; the mass flow rate on each side of the grid element 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] Among them, the center coordinates of the microelement of grid i are (x i ,y i ,z i );Δl x , Δl y , Δl z are the lengths of the sides 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 based on the state equation;

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

[0097] φ c =φ c0 [1+C φc (p-p0)]

[0098] ρ=ρ0[1+C ρ (p-p0)]

[0099] Where, φ c is the pressure p of grid i and grid j. i and p j The arithmetic mean of p = (p 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, respectively, in Pa -1 ; p0 is the initial state 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 state 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 element 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 equation 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:

[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:
