[0021] Unconventional tight sandstone reservoirs possess diverse and highly heterogeneous pore structures, with extremely widespread pore throat distribution and the presence of complex features such as micro- and nano-scale pore throats and microfractures, which profoundly influence fluid flow and interactions. Capillary forces, hysteresis, and multiphase flow compete at extremely small scales, making them difficult to capture using traditional macroscopic parameters. Conventional flooding methods struggle to fully characterize fluid phase changes and interfacial evolution during alternating water-gas flooding.
[0022] Commonly used techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, cast thin sections, and high-pressure mercury injection can reveal some dynamic production information, but are limited by spatial resolution and dynamic response time, making it difficult to achieve continuous and high-precision characterization of crude oil production scales.
[0023] The crude oil production scale reflects the coexistence and dynamic changes of oil, water, and gas three-phase flows in heterogeneous reservoirs, revealing the migration patterns of the oil-water-gas interface and displacement efficiency. Accurately calculating the crude oil production scale not only determines the effective invasion range of injected gas and water fluids and the spatial boundaries of crude oil transformation, but also allows for the rational allocation of the cycle, injection volume, and injection rate of alternating water and gas injection to maximize reservoir development efficiency.
