Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas reservoir engineering, and in particular to a quantitative processing method for a phase permeability curve. Background Art

[0002] The phase permeability curve is an important parameter reflecting the flow of oil and water in the reservoir. After more than 60 years of development, the reservoir properties of Daqing Oilfield have changed to varying degrees. The phase permeability curve established based on early cores cannot fully reflect the current actual underground seepage conditions. Therefore, in the numerical simulation process, adjusting the phase permeability curve is an important means to achieve historical fitting accuracy.

[0003] At present, the phase permeability adjustment work faces the following main problems: First, there are many phase permeability curves and the working time is long. Taking the simulation area using 10 phase permeability curves as an example, the one-time manual adjustment of the phase permeability curve, including phase permeability data import, phase permeability data processing, phase permeability data detection and phase permeability data export, requires about 4 hours of working time; second, the phase permeability curve adjustment is qualitative and cannot be quantitative. Since the numerical simulation of the reservoir was carried out, the numerical simulation personnel have carried out the adjustment of the phase permeability curve from a qualitative perspective based on the results of the previous numerical simulation to meet the consistency between the adjustment direction of the phase permeability curve and the difference in the simulation results. The qualitative adjustment is directional and the adjustment amplitude is also blind. From the perspective of literature, the predecessors have not carried out the quantitative adjustment of the phase permeability curve; third, there is no tool software for the quantitative adjustment of the phase permeability. Since the application of numerical simulation, there has been no programmed work on the quantitative adjustment of the phase permeability curve. The root cause is that there is no theoretical formula of the phase permeability curve itself, and there is no theoretical formula between the phase permeability curve and the actual numerical simulation results to support it, which leads to the inability to achieve efficient processing of the phase permeability curve adjustment through programming. Therefore, in view of the above shortcomings, a quantitative processing method of phase permeability curve is proposed. Summary of the invention
