Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water shut-off and extraction technology for fractured-vuggy reservoirs, and particularly relates to a water shut-off system and a method for suppressing water sources and shutting off water in deep high-angle fractures. Background Technology
[0002] Fractured-vuggy reservoirs are well-developed with confirmed oil and gas injection. However, due to strong bottom water capacity, even after switching to pumping and increasing the production pressure differential, mechanical pumping remains ineffective, resulting in persistently high water cut. This leads to the remaining oil concentrating at the top. Static characterization of the reservoir indicates the presence of high-angle fractures, and water drive curves show rapid flooding of deep bottom water along these high-angle fractures. These high-angle fractures within the fractures are the primary water inflow channels. Previous water-blocking slugs using heat-resistant gels and resistant gels were primarily designed for wells with weak bottom water capacity, operating only on peri-well fractures and unable to migrate to deeper areas to suppress bottom water sources. Their effectiveness in sealing strong bottom water in high-angle fractures at the bottom of the reservoir is limited. Although there is considerable research and development of reagents and slugs for deep water shut-off, the following problems still exist:
[0003] (1) Existing technologies mainly focus on the research and development of deep water-blocking agents and the evaluation of indoor test systems. No field application of deep water-blocking agents has been observed, and the combination of their slugs is also unclear.
[0004] (2) Existing water-blocking plugs are mainly suitable for deep water blocking in sandstone, and have poor adaptability to blocking strong bottom water in high-angle fractures of carbonate rock fracture-vuggy reservoirs.
[0005] (3) Existing water-blocking sluices generally have the problem of low blocking strength, and the blocking range and blocking strength are relatively small for strong bottom water.
[0006] In conclusion, there is an urgent need to develop a deep water source suppression and shut-off method for high-angle fractures in fractured-vuggy reservoirs, in order to improve the current situation of high water cut in oil wells and provide support for improving the recovery rate of fractured-vuggy reservoirs.

[0084] Application of the water shut-off system described in the first aspect of the present invention or the water shut-off method for deep high-angle fractures described in the second aspect of the present invention in water shut-off of fractured-vuggy reservoirs.
[0085] The high-angle fracture deep water source suppression and plugging method provided by this invention first utilizes the characteristics of large volume and strong hydrophilicity of water channeling channels. A dilution-resistant gel system is injected underground as a pre-slug. After injection, the dilution-resistant gel slowly solidifies along its flow path under the influence of formation pressure and temperature, thus supporting the subsequent slugs. Next, a weighted gel system is injected underground as an intermediate slug. Targeting the high-angle fracture system around the well, this intermediate slug can penetrate deep into the high-angle fracture to seal the source of strong bottom water, slowing its rise and laying the foundation for the subsequent slug plugging. Finally, a high-temperature gel system is injected as a post-slug. The plugging process, based on the combined effect of pre-plug and intermediate plugs to suppress deep bottom water sources, involves using high-temperature gel to seal the wellbore fracture system. This, along with the weighted gel from the intermediate plug, further seals the bottom water from far to near, suppressing its intensity and slowing its rise, thus facilitating the extraction of remaining oil in the upper part of the wellbore. Then, a high-temperature gel system is injected as a sealing plug to prevent the injected pre-plug, intermediate plug, and post-plug from being backflowed and sealing the wellbore under the influence of formation water. Finally, water is preferably injected as a displacement plug, which is forced into the formation to further enhance the water-blocking effect of the aforementioned plugs, while also preventing blockage within the wellbore.

[0126] Implementing methods for suppressing water sources and plugging deep high-angle cracks
[0127] During the development of fractured-vuggy reservoirs, 152 out of 296 wells exhibited high water cuts of 70% to 98%, representing 51.35% of the total. The water-blocking system and deep water-source suppression method for high-angle fractures provided in this invention were applied to manage these high-water-cut wells. The formation fractures in wells TPX1, TPX2, and TPX3 have angles of 50°, 60°, and 65° with the well axis, respectively, classifying them as high-angle fractures. A detailed explanation will be provided below using wells TPX1, TPX2, and TPX3 as examples.

[0129] Using the water shut-off system provided in Example 1, the high-angle fracture deep water source suppression and shut-off method of this invention was implemented on the TPX1 well, and the reverse injection method with the tubing string stationary was used for construction. Specifically:
[0130] 1) The dilution-resistant gel system provided in Example 1 is used as a pre-slug and injected underground, where it adheres to the path of the subsequent slugs and acts as a plugging agent.
[0131] 2) Using the weighted gel system provided in Example 1 as an intermediate plug, it was injected underground to seal deep bottom water and suppress the intensity of strong bottom water;
[0132] 3) Inject the high-temperature gel system provided in Example 1 as a post-slug for near-wellbore plugging to expand the plugging range;
[0133] 4) Inject the high-temperature gel system provided in Example 1 as a sealing slug to prevent the front slug, intermediate slug and rear slug from backflowing and clogging the wellbore;
[0134] 5) Injecting oilfield water as a replacement slug further enhances the water-blocking effect of the aforementioned slug, while also preventing blockage in the wellbore. After the well is shut off, it will start flowing production.
[0135] During construction, the injection rate of each slug was 18m. 3 / h, the cumulative water injection volume of each section of the plug and the oilfield is 300m³. 3 Of which: the pre-slug injection volume accounted for 4%, with a cumulative injection volume of 12m³. 3 The intermediate segment of the plug accounted for 25% of the total injection volume, with a cumulative injection volume of 75m³. 3 The post-slug injection volume accounts for 30%, with a cumulative injection volume of 90m³. 3 The sealing slug injection volume accounts for 10%, with a cumulative injection volume of 30m³. 3 The cumulative water injection volume in the oilfield is 93m³. 3 .

[0142] 4) Inject the high-temperature gel system provided in Example 2 as a sealing plug to prevent the front plug, intermediate plug and rear plug from backflowing and clogging the wellbore;
[0143] 5) Injecting oilfield water as a replacement slug further enhances the water-blocking effect of the aforementioned slug, while also preventing blockage in the wellbore. After the well is shut off, it will start flowing production.
[0144] During construction, the injection rate of each slug was 24m. 3 / h, a total of 400m³ of water was injected into each section of the plug and the oilfield. 3 Of which: the pre-slug injection volume accounted for 6%, with a cumulative injection volume of 24m³. 3 The main slug injection volume accounted for 28%, with a cumulative injection volume of 112m³. 3 The post-slug injection volume accounted for 34%, with a cumulative injection volume of 136m³. 3 The sealing slug injection volume accounted for 14%, with a cumulative injection volume of 56m³. 3 The cumulative water injection volume in the oilfield is 72m³. 3 .

As can be seen, after treatment, the TPX2 well's daily fluid production increased to 16.8 tons, and its daily oil production rose from 0.8 tons before treatment to 8.5 tons after treatment, with a water cut of 49.6%. The well has been producing continuously for 180 days, accumulating an additional 1489.6 tons of oil, and is still increasing its oil production.
