Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development, and in particular to a method and device for obtaining the gas-water gravity segregation behavior in a reservoir considering the oil layer dip angle. Background Technique
[0002] Currently, the Water-Alternating-Gas (WAG) technology, as an important method for improving oil recovery, has been gradually widely applied in the development of complex reservoirs. By alternately injecting water and gas (such as CO2, natural gas, nitrogen, associated gas, etc.), it utilizes the expansion displacement of the gas phase, the mobility control of water, and the gas miscibility effect to expand the swept volume and improve the oil displacement efficiency.
[0003] For example, CN119412003A discloses an offshore gas-water alternating injection system, including a water injection pipeline network, a gas injection pipeline network, an injection pipe, and a connection device. The connection device is provided with an injection port, a water injection port, and a gas injection port communicated with the injection port. Among them, the water injection pipeline network is connected to the water injection port, the gas injection pipeline network is connected to the gas injection port, the top end of the injection pipe is connected to the injection port, and the bottom end extends downward to the target formation. The water injection pipeline network can inject water into the target formation through the gas injection port, the injection port, and the injection pipe, and the gas injection pipeline network can inject gas into the target formation through the gas injection port, the injection port, and the injection pipe. Among them, a pressure relief pipeline is also provided on the gas injection pipeline network. After the gas injection stage is completed and before the water injection stage starts, the system pressure can be released through the pressure relief pipeline to reduce the system pressure to the water injection pressure or lower than the water injection pressure, so that the water can be normally injected.

[0004] However, in a tilted reservoir, the gravity segregation effect has a significant impact on the distribution and migration of gas and water phases. The application of traditional WAG technology in this field faces many challenges. In traditional WAG flooding technology, the calculation of the gravity segregation effect is mostly based on the assumption of a homogeneous reservoir, ignoring the reservoir dip angle, heterogeneity, and multiphase flow interaction, resulting in the following deficiencies and problems in the existing technologies and methods:
[0005] (1) Model simplification and insufficient parameter coupling lead to large errors: The influence of reservoir dip angle, permeability anisotropy, and fluid viscosity difference on the segregation distance and segregation thickness is not comprehensively considered, and the prediction deviation is significant, making it difficult to accurately characterize the nonlinear segregation behavior in a tilted reservoir;
[0006] (2) High computational complexity and large simplified solution errors: After considering gravity, the nonlinearity of the model is enhanced. The solution process of complex models has a large amount of calculation, especially the parameters and workload required by numerical simulation methods are even greater, which is time-consuming and inefficient, and it is difficult to meet the need for real-time optimization of injection and production strategies. If the nonlinear terms are simplified, the error will increase.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a model and calculation method that can accurately quantify the gas-water gravity segregation behavior in tilted reservoirs to solve the prediction deviation problem caused by the simplification of the model and solution in traditional methods, so as to ensure the optimization efficiency and development benefits of the WAG injection and production scheme for tilted reservoirs.

[0142] Embodiment 1
[0143] This embodiment provides a calculation method for gas-water gravity segregation behavior in a reservoir considering the oil layer dip angle. The calculation process is as Figure 5 shown, as follows:
[0144] Select a reservoir developed by water and gas alternating injection, and collect and determine the basic parameters, including respectively representing the oil layer dip angle α, the horizontal permeability k of the reservoir, the vertical permeability k v of the reservoir, the width W of the reservoir, the thickness h of the reservoir, the total flow rate q t of the reservoir, the gas-water relative permeability curve, the water phase relative mobility λ in the water flooding area w of the reservoir, the water phase relative mobility λ in the mixed flooding area wm of the reservoir, the gas phase relative mobility λ in the mixed flooding area gm of the reservoir, the total relative mobility λ in the mixed flooding area tm of the reservoir, the density ρ of water w of the reservoir, the density ρ of the gas phase g of the reservoir, the water flow rate of the injected fluid, i.e., the water cut f w of the reservoir, the gas flow rate of the injected fluid, i.e., the gas content f g of the reservoir, and the acceleration of gravity g.
[0145] Taking a channel-type deepwater turbidite sandstone reservoir developed by overseas water alternating gas injection as an example, the reservoir dip angle α is 2°, and the development method is to inject WAG in the downdip direction and produce oil in the updip direction. The injection-production well spacing is 1000m, the reservoir thickness h is 25m, the reservoir (channel) width W is 1000m, the horizontal permeability k of the reservoir is 1000mD, and the vertical permeability k v is 50mD. The injection fluid velocity, i.e., the total flow rate q t is 6360m 3 / d (underground). The underground density of the injected water is 990kg / m 3 , and the underground density of the injected gas is 300kg / m 3 . The underground viscosity of the injected water is 0.5mPa·s, and the underground viscosity of the injected gas is 0.04mPa·s. The water-gas relative permeability curve is shown in Appendix Figure 6 . Calculate the different water-gas injection ratios WGR (including 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2) respectively.
[0146] From the water-gas injection ratio WGR, the injection water cut f w =WGR / (1 + WGR) can be calculated, which are 0.17, 0.33, 0.50, and 0.67 respectively.
[0147] Using the water-gas relative permeability curve and the fractional flow equation, the water saturation S w at different water cuts f w is obtained by back-calculation, which are 0.6815, 0.74, 0.7804, and 0.8168 respectively.
[0148] Furthermore, the relative water phase mobility λ wm in the mixed displacement zone is obtained, which are 214.93, 305.74, 382.39, and 462.20 respectively; the relative gas phase mobility λ gm in the mixed displacement zone is obtained, which are 214.94, 305.74, 382.40, and 462.20 respectively.
[0149] Substituting the above parameters into the formula of the reservoir gravity segregation model, L g can be calculated, which are 355.8m, 468.59m, 541.62m, and 580.39m respectively; h wg is 22.25m. Further solving for h w at any position, h g , and drawing the curves of water and gas in different zones along the injection-production process, as shown in Figure 7 .
[0150] In summary, the present invention realizes the accurate quantification of the gas-water gravity segregation behavior in a tilted reservoir using the WAG development method, and can obtain the complete gravity segregation distance and the complete segregation thickness or height. The new model and calculation method have greatly improved both the prediction accuracy and efficiency in quantitatively characterizing the gas-water gravity segregation behavior, providing a solid theoretical support for the real-time injection-production optimization of oilfields using WAG.
