[0033] S104: Compare the annual production and internal rate of return of each production capacity allocation plan, and select a reasonable production capacity structure allocation plan according to the production demand or benefit demand.

[0034] The present invention has strong operability and can realize the rapid prediction of the effect and benefit of the production capacity construction scale distribution plan under different reservoir types, different well types and different development methods; the present invention completes the prediction and selection of the production capacity allocation plan under different development demands through the comparison of indicators such as the cumulative oil production in the first year, the cumulative oil production in stages, and the internal rate of return.

[0035] In the above method, in S101, different production capacity construction types are production capacity constructions under different types of reservoirs, different development methods or different well types; different production capacity construction types include three production capacity construction types: secondary development, combination of secondary and tertiary development, and comprehensive adjustment; the annual production remaining rate is the annual production remaining rate from the 3rd to the 10th year; single-well production capacity = average initial daily oil production of a single well × 300 / 10000, 10,000 tons; contribution rate = first-year production of the production well / single-well production capacity; arrival rate = second-year production of the production well / single-well production capacity; the annual production remaining rate of the i-th year = N i / Single-well production capacity, where N i is the annual output in the i-th year, in 10,000 tons.

[0036] In the above method, in S103, the annual outputs and internal rates of return for the 1st to 10th years under each production capacity configuration plan are calculated respectively.

[0037] In the above method, in S103, the annual outputs and internal rates of return for the 1st to 10th years of each production capacity construction type under each production capacity configuration plan are calculated respectively, and then the annual outputs and internal rates of return of each production capacity configuration plan are obtained through the weighted average algorithm.

[0038] In the above method, in S103, it also includes calculating the number of wells required for each production capacity construction type under each production capacity configuration plan based on the average initial daily oil production per well, and further calculating the investment for each production capacity construction type under each production capacity configuration plan, and then obtaining the number of wells and investment of each production capacity configuration plan through the weighted average algorithm.

[0039] In addition, the present invention also provides a production capacity structure optimization device, including:

[0040] The first module is configured to respectively select typical production capacity wells under different production capacity construction types, and calculate the average initial daily oil production per well, contribution rate, in-place rate, and annual output surplus rate of the production capacity wells under each production capacity construction type respectively, and form the production output profile of the typical production capacity wells;

[0043] The fourth module is configured to compare the annual outputs and internal rates of return of each production capacity configuration plan, and select a reasonable production capacity structure configuration plan according to the production output demand or benefit demand.

[0044] The above technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0045] In order to evaluate the key indicators of production wells in different types of reservoirs, different development methods, or different well types, the present invention optimizes the key indicators and establishes a method for predicting production and benefits under different combinations of production capacity construction structures. By separately predicting the initial annual production, cumulative production in stages, and internal rate of return of each type of production capacity, relevant indicators of the overall plan are predicted, and a reasonable combination of production capacity construction is optimized. The specific method adopted in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: (1) Representative production wells in different types of reservoirs or different development methods are separately selected. (2) The average initial daily oil production per well, contribution rate, arrival rate, and annual production remaining rate in the 3rd - 10th years of typical wells in different types of reservoirs or different development methods are separately calculated to form the production profile of typical single wells, where the single - well production capacity = average initial daily oil production per well × 300 / 10000, in ten thousand tons; contribution rate = initial annual production of the production well / single - well production capacity; arrival rate = annual production of the production well in the second year / single - well production capacity; the annual production remaining rate in the i - th year = N i / single - well production capacity, where N i is the annual production in the i - th year, in ten thousand tons. (3) The average construction cost per well and the corresponding operating cost per ton of oil for the new wells actually implemented in different types of reservoirs or development methods in actual construction are determined. (4) Under the total production capacity construction of the oilfield, according to different production construction ratios, the corresponding production capacities of various types of reservoirs or development methods are divided, and multiple production capacity configuration plans for production capacity construction are constructed. According to the production profile of typical wells, the average construction cost per well, and the corresponding operating cost per ton of oil, the production, funds to be invested, and internal rate of return ratio in the first year of production construction and the 2nd - 10th years of each production capacity configuration plan are separately predicted. At the same time, the number of wells required for the corresponding type of production capacity is calculated based on the average initial daily oil production per well, and then the weighted average is calculated to obtain the annual production, investment, internal rate of return, and number of wells from the 1st to the 10th years of each production capacity configuration plan. (5) The annual production, investment, internal rate of return, and number of wells of each production capacity configuration plan are compared, and a reasonable production capacity structure configuration plan is selected according to production demand or benefit demand. This method can not only be used for optimizing the production capacity structure of different types of reservoirs and different development methods, but also for optimizing the production scale of different well types, providing a reference for optimizing and configuring the oilfield production capacity construction plan.

[0046] More specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, taking three types of production capacity construction, namely secondary development, combination of secondary and tertiary development, and comprehensive adjustment, as examples, the plan under a production capacity construction scale of 500,000 tons is optimized:

[0047] 1. Representative production wells are separately selected according to the three types of production capacity construction, namely secondary development, combination of secondary and tertiary development, and comprehensive adjustment, and the key indicators are calculated to obtain the average initial daily oil production per well, contribution rate, arrival rate, and annual production remaining rate from the 3rd to the 10th years of their respective types. The specific relevant data are shown in Table 1 below.

[0049]

[0050] 2. Determine the average construction cost per well and the corresponding operating cost per ton of oil for the three types of production capacity construction wells according to the actual situation. The specific data is shown in Table 2 below.

[0053] 3. The total production capacity is 500,000 tons, which is composed of different quantities of three types of production capacity: secondary development, combination of secondary and tertiary development, and comprehensive adjustment. Four scenarios are set. As shown in Table 3 below.

[0055]

[0056] For each scenario, based on the quantities of the three types of production capacity and combining the relevant parameters in Table 1 and Table 2, the annual production, number of wells, investment, and internal rate of return for each type from year 1 to year 10 can be calculated respectively, and then the annual production, number of wells, investment, and internal rate of return for each scenario from year 1 to year 10 can be obtained through weighted average calculation. For example, as shown in Tables 4 and 5 below, the production capacity of each type and the production and benefits of Scenario 1 as a whole are shown.

[0061] Similarly, the above relevant data for Scenario 2, Scenario 3, and Scenario 4 can be calculated. The above relevant data tables for Scenario 2, Scenario 3, and Scenario 4 are omitted here.

[0062] 4. Compare the annual production (including annual production from year 1 to year 10, initial annual production, and cumulative production), number of wells, input or investment, and internal rate of return of the four scenarios calculated respectively, as shown in Tables 6, 7, and Figure 2 as shown. Then, select a reasonable production capacity structure configuration scenario according to the production demand or benefit demand.

[0065] Table 7 Comparison of Cumulative Output, Input, and Internal Rate of Return for Four Schemes

[0066]

[0067] From the data in the above Tables 6 - 7 and with reference to Figure 2 As shown, when the total production capacity construction is 500,000 tons, through four schemes to carry out the output - benefit test under different production capacity construction structures, for the optimization of the production capacity construction structure, the scheme with the highest contribution rate is Scheme 3, with the best benefit, and the proportion of the number of each type of production capacity is 2:1:2; the scheme with the smallest annual output decline and the highest cumulative output is Scheme 2, with medium benefit, and the proportion of the number of each type of production capacity is 2:2:1.

[0068] Therefore, the present invention conducts a key - index evaluation on the production - capacity wells of the production - capacity construction type, selects the key indexes, establishes a method for predicting the output and benefit under different combinations of production - capacity construction structures. By respectively predicting the first - year output, stage cumulative output, and internal rate of return of each type of production capacity, the relevant indexes of the overall scheme are predicted, and a reasonable production - capacity construction combination is selected.
