DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] The following describes it in detail with reference to specific implementation methods.

[0015] The method for evaluating the remaining reserves of low permeability gas reservoir formations specifically comprises the following steps: S1. Obtain block production data and basic parameters through target wells.

[0016] Production data includes static data and dynamic data. Static data include: effective thickness, permeability, porosity, and water saturation; dynamic data include: cumulative water production, cumulative gas production, and water-gas ratio.

[0017] S2. Based on production data and basic parameters, the formation pressure is calculated using the material balance method, wellhead casing pressure conversion method, flowing material balance method, and modern production instability analysis method. The absolute and relative errors of different calculation methods are then calculated.

[0018] In S2, the material balance method uses the regression equation between apparent formation pressure and cumulative gas production to calculate the formation pressure at different production rates. Without considering bound water and rock elastic deformation, the material balance equation for the water-flooded gas reservoir is derived as follows: (1) Where, is the water intrusion, is the cumulative gas production, is the cumulative water production, is the original geological reserves, is the original volume coefficient of the gas; is the gas volume coefficient; is the volume coefficient of water.

[0019] in 、 、 、 The unit is ten thousand square meters (10 4 m 3 ).

[0020] The ratio of the volume of natural gas under formation conditions to the volume of natural gas under standard surface conditions is the natural gas volume coefficient. When the reservoir pressure is P and the temperature is T, the natural gas state equation can be combined to obtain the natural gas volume coefficient calculation formula: (2) (3) Where, is the formation temperature, is the ground temperature under standard conditions, is the original formation pressure, is the current formation pressure, is the pressure under standard ground conditions, is the deviation coefficient of natural gas at the original pressure Pi, is the deviation coefficient of natural gas at pressure P.

[0021] in, and The unit is Kelvin (K), 、 and The unit is megapascal (MPa). The value is 293.15K. The value is 0.101MPa.

[0022] Will 、 Substituting the calculation formula into formula (1), we can get the current formation pressure P: (4) in The formula is as follows: (5).

[0023] In the material balance method, when there is no water drive in the gas reservoir, that is, when We=0 and Wp=0 in the water-free gas reservoir, Equation (4) is transformed into: (6) For closed water-producing gas reservoirs, Equation (4) is converted to: (7).

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 2, according to the formation pressure calculation formula of the material balance method, it can be seen that there is a linear relationship between the apparent formation pressure and the cumulative gas production.

[0025] The wellhead casing pressure deduction algorithm includes: after the production gas well is shut in until the entire formation pressure reaches a balanced state, the wellbore pressure gradient and the wellhead pressure have a linear formula as follows: (8) The calculation formula of formation pressure is: (9) Where, is the wellbore pressure gradient, is the gas wellhead flowing pressure, For the depth down to the middle of the gas layer, It is the formation pressure after the well is shut in for a long time.

[0026] in, The unit is MPa / 100m, and The unit is MPa, The unit is meter (m).

[0027] The flowing material balance method states that after gas seepage in a closed gas reservoir enters a quasi-stable state, the formation pressure and bottomhole flowing pressure have a nearly perfect positive correlation, meaning that the change in formation pressure is almost equal to the change in bottomhole flowing pressure. Statistics of gas well production data reveal that in the quasi-stable state, the wellhead pressure and bottomhole pressure decrease at the same rate, and the bottomhole flowing pressure and cumulative gas production have a binomial relationship: (10) The relationship between wellhead casing pressure and cumulative gas production is: (11) Determine the formation pressure calculation formula: (12) Where, is the bottom hole flowing pressure of the gas well, It is the formation pressure during quasi-steady-state production of the gas well.

[0028] Where, and The unit is MPa.

[0029] Modern production instability analysis methods include: using the Blasingame model to normalize the production data of low-porosity and low-permeability fractured gas wells after fracturing, fitting the production integral and production integral differential curves through material balance time, inverting the permeability, skin coefficient, effective recovery rate and recoverable reserves, and establishing a fracture model based on this to predict production performance.

[0030] Modern production instability analysis methods are based on well testing analysis of production data. They often utilize RTA numerical simulation software to analyze production data such as flow rate and bottomhole pressure, determine reservoir parameters such as permeability, skin coefficient, effective recovery factor, and recoverable reserves, and predict production performance. RTA has eight analysis models with varying degrees of accuracy. The target well area features low porosity and permeability, with well-developed fractures. All producing gas wells have undergone fracturing. The Blasingame analysis model normalizes production data. The template for the normalized production curve (production integral and production integral differential) uses material balance fitting to time, which better fits the data. Therefore, the Blasingame method was selected in this paper to establish the fracture model.

[0031] The absolute error is calculated as the absolute value of the formation pressure difference between the two different calculation methods. The relative error is calculated as the percentage of the absolute error to the reference value.

[0032] S3. Through absolute error and relative error, the algorithm with the smallest error value is selected as the formation pressure calculation method of the target well.

[0033] S4. For target wells with distorted calculations, use modern production instability analysis methods or wellhead casing pressure conversion methods to correct them and obtain formation pressure.

[0034] Among them, the target wells with calculation distortion are wells whose formation pressure calculation results deviate significantly from the true value due to data anomalies, model limitations or special geological conditions.

[0035] S5. Substitute the formation pressure into the software to generate a formation pressure distribution map.

[0036] You can use Python-written software to generate a formation pressure distribution map by substituting the formation pressure. You can also use software such as Schlumberger Petrel + Eclipse, CMG (IMEX, GEM, STARS), and Halliburton Nexus to generate a formation pressure distribution map.

[0037] S6. Calculate the pressure loss rate using the pressure drop loss rate calculation model and generate a pressure loss rate curve.

[0038] When the flow of fluid in a gas reservoir is in equilibrium, changing the operating system of a well in the reservoir, or changing the well production rate or pressure, will cause pressure disturbances at the bottom of the well. Over time, the pressure disturbance continues to expand radially toward the formations surrounding the wellbore wall, eventually reaching a new equilibrium state. This process is called unstable seepage. The pressure drop loss rate calculation model includes early and late stage mathematical models for unstable seepage. The equation for the early stage mathematical model is as follows: (13) The mathematical model equation of the late stage of unstable seepage is as follows:

[0039] (14) (15) The mathematical model equations for calculating the pressure drop loss rate at any location in the gas reservoir at any time are as follows: (16) (17) Where, is the pressure drop at any position in the gas well at any time, dimensionless; is the original formation pressure; is the gas well production under standard conditions; is the viscosity of natural gas at original pressure and temperature; is the comprehensive compressibility coefficient at the original pressure and temperature; is the viscosity of natural gas at average pressure and temperature; is the natural gas deviation factor at mean pressure and temperature; is the air layer temperature; is the gas layer permeability; is the thickness of the gas layer; is the pressure conductivity coefficient; For time; is the gas volume coefficient; is the supply radius; is the radius of the gas well; is the porosity; is the average pressure at time t at a distance r from the well.

[0040] in, and The unit is MPa, The unit is 10 4 m 3 , and The unit is millipascal second (mPa·s). The unit is MPa -1 , The unit is K, The unit is square micrometer (μm 2 ), and The unit is m, The unit is μm 2 MPa / (mPa·s), The unit is hour (h).

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the pressure loss rates of the two pressure drop loss rate models at different well control radii are calculated and plotted as a curve. The pressure drop loss rate decreases with the increase of the well control radius, and the reduction range of the infinite formation model is greater than that of the closed formation model, which is more consistent with the mining experience of the well area over the years and is suitable for analyzing the pressure sweep range of gas wells in the well area.

[0042] S7. Evaluate the remaining reserves of formation pressure through the formation pressure distribution diagram and the pressure loss rate curve diagram.

[0043] Taking the YQ2-Y128 well block as an example, most of the producing gas wells in the YQ2-Y128 well block have been in production for a long time and have a lot of historical production data. After sorting out the production data of the block, 10 typical producing gas wells with relatively high integrity of static data (effective thickness, permeability, porosity, water saturation), dynamic data and pressure measurement data were selected. Table 1 shows the basic parameters required for calculation or characteristic parameters for applicability evaluation: Table 1 Production data of typical wells

[0044] Combining the daily production data and basic parameters of gas wells, the formation pressure was calculated according to the above methods, the errors of various methods were statistically analyzed, and their adaptability was analyzed. The data are shown in Table 2.

[0045] Table 2 Analysis of calculated formation pressure errors

[0046] It can be seen from the error statistics that the formation pressure calculated by the material balance method - water-producing gas reservoir has a minimum error value of 0.38MPa and a relative error of 3.05%. The modern production instability analysis method and the wellhead casing pressure conversion method also have high accuracy, with relative errors of 3.86% and 6.51% respectively. The formation pressure calculated by the material balance method - constant volume gas reservoir has a certain degree of increase in error due to the presence of a certain amount of water production in the gas wells in the well area, with a relative error of 11.76%. The flowing material balance method is prone to large errors due to the difficulty in accurately grasping the quasi-steady-state judgment during the production process of the gas well, with a relative error of 29.78%.

[0047] Considering the applicable conditions and errors in the calculation results of different formation pressure calculation methods, the material balance method for water-producing gas reservoirs is used as the primary method for formation pressure calculation due to its simplicity and high accuracy. For special gas wells with minor calculation distortions, modern production instability analysis methods or wellhead casing pressure conversion methods can be used to correct them. Table 3 shows a comparison of the formation pressures of 10 typical producing gas wells calculated using the material balance method for water-producing gas reservoirs with the formation pressures of wells with actual pressure measurement data.

[0048] Table 3 Comparison of calculated formation pressure of water-producing gas reservoirs using the material balance method and measured formation pressure of gas reservoirs

[0049] The calculation error of the material balance method for water-producing gas reservoirs is less than 5% except for one well, which shows high calculation accuracy. The maximum relative error is 11.54%, indicating that this method has high stability and is suitable for calculating formation pressure of gas wells in this well area.

[0050] According to the above typical example analysis, it can be seen that the material balance method - water-producing gas reservoir is the optimal calculation method, and its core calculation equation is: (7) To facilitate the subsequent calculation of formation pressure P, we used Python software to write the calculation code. The apparent formation pressure calculated from the measured formation pressure was then compared to verify the feasibility of the method. Table 4 shows a comparative analysis of the two calculation results. The relative error values ​​indicate that the method has high accuracy and stability, thus verifying the correctness of the Python program.

[0051] Table 4 Comparative analysis of apparent formation pressure calculated by code and measured pressure

[0052] According to the stratigraphic division scheme of the YA gas field, the study well area can be divided into three stratigraphic systems: the BX group, the SHZ group, and the SX group. The formation pressure of each gas well in the three stratigraphic systems was calculated using Python program code, and the formation pressure distribution maps of the three stratigraphic systems were drawn using numerical simulation software.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown in Figure 2, the BX Formation presents a formation pressure distribution with low pressure in the middle and high pressure at the edges. Figure 4 As shown in Figure 1, the formation pressure of the SHZ group is generally high, with only a few areas having low formation pressure and the gas-bearing layers are more dispersed than the other two formations. Figure 5 As shown, the SX Formation, in contrast to the SHZ Formation, has only a few areas of high formation pressure. The vast majority of areas are low-pressure zones, with formation pressures below 10 MPa. Overall, the SHZ Formation has the highest formation pressure, followed by the BX Formation, with the SX Formation having the lowest. Formation pressures in both the BX and SX Formations decrease gradually from the edges to the center, indicating that these two formations possess good reservoir properties. Furthermore, the lower pressure distribution in the SX Formation indirectly reflects its abundant remaining reserves, significant recovery potential, and potential for intensified production.

[0054] To improve calculation efficiency, Python software was used to write the calculation formula of the infinite formation model and the program code for drawing the pressure drop funnel based on the calculation results, so that the changes in gas well formation pressure can be analyzed more intuitively and clearly. Figure 6 This is a typical gas well production pressure drop funnel diagram. The pressure drop loss rate gradually decreases as it expands around the production well, forming a typical funnel shape. Figure 7 This is a comparison chart of the effect of permeability on the pressure drop funnel. Figure 8 This is a comparison chart of the effect of production time on the pressure drop funnel. Figure 7 and Figure 8 Combined analysis reveals that the pressure drop rate increases with increasing permeability. The larger the pressure sweep, the greater the pressure loss at the same well spacing. Formation pressure loss primarily occurs within 200 m from the well bottom. For a gas reservoir with a permeability of 0.17 mD, the pressure loss exceeds 70% from the well bottom to 200 m, showing a trend of initially decreasing sharply followed by a gradual decrease. At a constant permeability, the pressure drop rate increases slightly with production time, and the increase is greater with increasing well spacing.

[0055] Similar to the formation pressure calculation, the gas wells in the study area are also divided into three groups: BX group, SHZ group and SX group according to the YA gas field stratigraphic division scheme. The pressure drop loss rate of all gas wells in the three distributions is calculated using the Python program code, and the results are as follows: Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 Plane diagram of the pressure drop loss rate of gas wells in the three formations.

[0056] Based on gas well production performance data, a comparative analysis of the results of four typical formation pressure calculation methods with the measured formation pressure shows that the material balance method for water-producing gas reservoirs has the highest calculation accuracy and the best stability. For a small number of abnormal gas wells with distorted calculations using the material balance method for water-producing gas wells, modern production instability analysis methods or wellhead casing pressure conversion methods with higher calculation accuracy can be used for calibration to accurately evaluate the formation pressure in the well area.
