Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oilfield development, and particularly to a method for identifying injection-production connectivity of a reservoir, a device for identifying injection-production connectivity of a reservoir, a machine-readable storage medium, and a processor. Background Art

[0002] Gas injection development is an effective means to improve the development effect of a reservoir. Compared with water injection and gas injection, it can quickly increase the reservoir pressure and supplement the formation energy. In addition, many gases can greatly reduce the viscosity and interfacial tension of crude oil through mechanisms such as dissolution and extraction, expand and increase the volume, and greatly improve the oil recovery rate. However, the heterogeneity of some oilfields is relatively strong, resulting in prominent gas channeling problems during on-site implementation. After gas channeling occurs in some oil wells, the gas-oil ratio rises rapidly and the oil production drops sharply, leading to the shut-in or even abandonment of oil wells, seriously restricting the large-scale popularization and application of gas drive technology. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose an efficient and reliable technical system to accurately characterize and identify the distribution and scale of gas channeling channels, and improve the oil recovery rate and development economic benefits of the reservoir.

[0097] Specifically, when it is a vertical well, the mobility at both well points of the connected unit is calculated by the upstream weight method to obtain the mobility within the connected unit;

[0098] Based on the mobility within the connected unit, calculate the total production index of each well point through the vertical well point production index calculation formula;

Obtain the relative permeability according to the saturation and relative permeability curve of the connected unit, and then calculate the theoretical oil reservoir production of the well point according to the pressure and relative permeability of the connected unit.

[0127] Specifically, integrate the left side of the mass conservation equation of oil and gas components over the control volume and the right side over time. To simplify the formula, first remove the point source / sink term:

[0158] Among them, the effective connected conductivity refers to the connected conductivity obtained by adjusting the initial connected conductivity through the target fitting function; the effective connected volume refers to the connected volume obtained by adjusting the initial connected volume through the target fitting function

[0159] Specifically, when the adjacent well points in the reservoir connected unit system are connected by a single connected unit, calculate the splitting coefficient of the single connected unit based on the effective connected conductivity and the effective connected volume as the unit splitting coefficient; when the adjacent well points in the reservoir connected unit system are not connected by a single connected unit, after calculating the splitting coefficient of the single connected unit between the adjacent well points, sum the splitting coefficients of all the connected units between the adjacent well points to obtain the unit splitting coefficient; multiply the unit splitting coefficients to obtain the flow splitting coefficient of the reservoir connected unit system

[0160] Furthermore, the calculation process of the splitting coefficient of a single connected unit is specifically as follows

[0161] Assume that at the nth time step, the adjacent well points i and j are connected by a single connected unit, then the unit splitting coefficient between the adjacent well points i and j is

[0162]

[0163] In the formula represents the number of well points connected to well point i represents the flow rate of the connected unit between well point i and well point k represents the flow rate of the connected unit between well point i and well point j Denotes the effective connected conductivity between well points i and j. Denotes the effective connected conductivity between well points i and k. Denotes the average pressure of the control volume of well point i at time n. Denotes the average pressure of the control volume of well point j at time n. Denotes the average pressure of the control volume of well point k at time n.

[0164] As Figure 4 shown, for well points that are not directly connected by a single connection unit, there may be multiple connection paths composed of multiple connection units. Taking nodes 1 and 4 as an example, assuming that the node pressure values gradually decrease along the arrow direction, the splitting coefficient of path 1-2-3-4 is defined as the product of the splitting coefficients of each simple path on this path (i.e., 1-2, 2-3, 3-4), that is:

[0165]

[0166] In the formula, The superscript 1 represents the serial number of this path among all paths between nodes 1 and 4.

[0167] The total splitting coefficient between two well points, that is, the unit splitting coefficient, is equal to the sum of the splitting coefficients of all paths between the two well points.

[0168] Three types of constraint conditions, namely equality constraints, inequality constraints, and boundary constraints, are established for the reservoir. Among them, the equality constraint can constrain the total liquid production volume or the total gas / water injection volume in each time period of the oilfield to be a fixed value; the inequality constraint can constrain the total injection-production volume in each time period of the oilfield to be not less than a certain value; the boundary constraint can constrain the range of gas / water injection volume or the range of production well output. This control problem is to optimally find u to maximize J under the condition of satisfying the constraint conditions.

[0169] Equality constraint: e i (u, y, m) = 0, i = 1, 2, …, n e

[0170] Inequality constraint: C j (u, y, m) ≤ 0, j = 1, 2, …, n c

[0171] Boundary constraint: k = 1, 2, …, N u

[0172] In the formula, e i (u, y, m) represents the equality constraint function, c j (u, y, m) represents the inequality constraint function, u k represents the constraint variable, represents the lower limit of the constrained variable represents the upper limit of the constrained variable, \(u\) represents the injection-production control variable, \(y\) represents the state variable, \(m\) represents the geological model parameter variable, and \(J\) represents the optimization objective function

[0173] Taking a certain oil reservoir in the Middle East as an example, this oil reservoir contains three special geological features and well types, namely horizontal wells, gas caps, and water bodies. Consider its equivalent treatment: ① The horizontal well is equivalently characterized by three well points; ② The gas cap and water body are equivalently characterized by a numerical gas cap / water body Figure 5 (a)- Figure 5 (c) shows the fitting results of the block indicators. The fitting rate of the cumulative oil production in the block is 91.6%, and the fitting rate of the cumulative gas production in the block is 83.2%. It can be seen that the cumulative oil production and cumulative gas production in the block obtained by the inversion of the connectivity model match the actual field values to a high degree. The curves of the cumulative oil production and cumulative gas production in the later production stage are basically the same, indicating that the model after fitting can reflect the actual production situation of the block and can be further used as the basic model for the development adjustment and optimization of this oilfield

[0174] Figure 6 (a)- Figure 6 (c) shows the fitting results of some single wells. It can be seen that the matching degrees of the daily oil production, daily gas production, and water cut of the horizontal wells and vertical wells after fitting are very high, and they are highly consistent with the actual production situation

[0175] Based on the connected units, the flow paths between each well point and the corresponding splitting coefficients are obtained through the path tracing method. After fitting, the obtained connected conductivity and connected volume are superimposed, and the three well points of the horizontal well are converted into a single well point (there is no obvious interlayer between each small layer). The values of the connected conductivity and connected volume after fitting correspond to the actual situation of the oil reservoir and reflect the true formation parameter information. The distribution map of the calculated splitting coefficients is as Figure 7 shown

[0176] It can be known from the fitting results that the results obtained by using the above oil reservoir injection-production connectivity identification method are highly accurate, effectively improving the identification accuracy
