Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of well test interpretation technology, specifically a method and related equipment for calculating the length of large-scale natural fractures. Background Technology

[0002] Deep natural gas reservoirs are mostly narrow, strip-shaped anticlines formed by plate collision and compression. Natural fractures are concentrated in the axial part of the anticline to form highly conductive strips. The fracture development is reduced on both sides due to the decrease in reservoir deformation. Wells in the axial part are easy to produce high yields and the well locations are linearly deployed along the axial part.

[0003] In well test interpretation technology, it is difficult to accurately characterize the distribution model that matches the relationship between natural fractures and matrix reservoirs, and its applicability is also poor. For analytical well test interpretation models of fractured reservoirs, homogeneity is often considered, that is, the fracture morphology is consistent and the fractures are evenly distributed within the basic reservoir.

[0004] Currently, the dual-porosity (pore and fracture) media models established based on this concept mainly include quasi-steady-state models, spherical models, and plate-like models. However, for deep gas reservoirs in the Kelasu tectonic belt of the Tarim Basin and the lower combination of the southern margin of the Junggar Basin, which have poor matrix properties, fractures as the main conduction system, and strong heterogeneity in fracture development, conventional well test interpretation models that assume uniform distribution of fractures within the matrix reservoir are not applicable. They can only perform equivalent parameter output, and the interpreted parameters cannot reflect the actual reservoir conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0063] (1) Establish a physical model of natural fracture reservoirs

[0064] Physical models of natural fractured reservoirs, such as Figure 2 As shown, the model assumes that the vertical well is located at the center of the circular reservoir, i.e., the origin of the coordinate system. O At this location, production is constant; the reservoir has an impermeable, sealed boundary; a large-scale natural fracture exists near the vertical well, extending along the direction of the natural fracture. x The axial direction and the direction perpendicular to the crack are: y Along the axial direction, the coordinates of the two ends of the crack are respectively ( x 1, b )and( x 2, b The crack width is w The fracture allows fluid to pass through and has a certain conductivity; the mass of fluid flowing into the fracture is equal to the mass of fluid flowing out; the fluid is single-phase and weakly compressible; the fluid obeys Darcy's law, and the effects of capillary force and gravity are ignored; the wellbore storage effect and skin effect are considered.

[0065] (2) Define a dimensionless variable

[0066] To simplify the mathematical model of natural fractured reservoirs, the relevant dimensionless variables are defined as follows:

[0067] , , , .

[0068] , , , , .

The radius of the dimensionless wellbore is dimensionless. The radius of the wellbore is in meters (m).

[0072] (3) Establish a mathematical model for natural fracture reservoirs

[0073] The governing equation for the interior of natural fractures in the pull-type space is:

[0074] (1)

[0075] in For cracks in a tensile space without dimensional pressure, The dimensionless flow rate of the crack in the pull-type space.

[0076] The sealing condition at the end of the crack is:

[0077] (2)

[0078] (3)

[0079] The source function in a circular closed reservoir is:

[0080] (4)

[0081] in, As an intermediate variable, This refers to the dimensionless pressure of the reservoir.

[0082] in:

[0083] .

[0084] In the formula: u Dimensionless time Corresponding to Lagrange space variables, dimensionless; ω The energy storage ratio is dimensionless. λ I0 and K0 are the crosstalk coefficients, which are dimensionless; I0 and K0 are the first and second kind zero-order imaginary argument Bessel functions, respectively; I1 and K1 are the first and second kind first-order imaginary argument Bessel functions, respectively.

[0085] The pressure response at any location in the reservoir is the sum of the pressure responses caused by all elements in the natural fractures and the pressure responses caused by the wellbore. Therefore, combining the line source function (4), the dimensionless coordinates ( , The pressure response at point ) is:

[0086] (5)

[0087] in, For the first iThe endpoints have dimensionless x-coordinates. For the first i +1 dimensionless x-coordinates at the endpoints For the first i Dimensionless flow of a point-based pull space Let be the dimensionless ordinates of the two ends of the natural crack. As an intermediate variable, The dimensionless boundary distance, For summation indicators.

[0088] The condition that the mass of fluid flowing into the crack is equal to the mass of fluid flowing out is as follows:

[0089] (6)

[0090] A mathematical model for well testing of natural fracture reservoirs is established based on the internal control equations of natural fractures in the Lagrange space, the sealing conditions at the fracture ends, the source function in a circular sealed reservoir, the pressure response at dimensionless coordinates, and the condition that the inflow and outflow masses of fluids in the fractures are equal.

[0091] Based on the mathematical model of well testing in a natural fractured reservoir, the dimensionless bottom-hole pressure in the pull-space configuration, considering both the reservoir and skin effects, is obtained. The real-time bottom-hole pressure in the pull-space configuration, considering both the reservoir and skin effects, is then inverted to obtain the following:

[0092] Taking a double integral of equation (1) yields:

[0093] (7)

[0094] Combining equations (2) and (3), and writing the integral of equation (7) in discrete form, we can obtain:

[0095] (8)

[0096] In the formula: subscript i The index is the endpoint number of the crack element; subscript j The index of the midpoint of the crack element. The unit length is dimensionless.

[0097] Substituting equation (5) into equation (8), and rearranging the terms so that the right-hand side of the equation is a constant term, we get:

[0098] (9)

[0099] For the first i The endpoints have dimensionless x-coordinates. For the first i +1 dimensionless x-coordinates at endpoints.

[0100] In equation (9) j The value ranges from 1 to n Therefore, there are a total of n There are 10 equations. Combining these with the mass conservation condition (6), there are a total of 10 equations. n +1 equation, corresponding to n +1 unknown, that is n The dimensionless flow rates under +1 pull space are respectively: Dimensionless pressure in the crack under tension space Therefore, targeting n +1 equation n +1 unknown, solved using matrix methods. and .

[0101] Combining the line source function (4) again, the pressure response at the bottom of the well is the sum of the pressure responses caused by all elements in the natural fracture and the pressure responses caused by the wellbore, expressed as:

[0102] (10)

[0103] The dimensionless bottom hole pressure in the pull-down space is not considered in the context of well storage and skin effect.

[0104] The results already obtained Substituting into equation (10), the dimensionless bottom hole pressure in the pull space can be obtained.

[0105] Considering the well reservoir and skin effect, the dimensionless bottom hole pressure in the pull-out space is:

[0106] (11)

[0107] In the formula: S It is an epidermal factor, dimensionless. To account for the well reservoir and skin effect, the dimensionless bottom hole pressure in the pull-out space is calculated.

[0108] The real-time spatial bottom hole pressure solution can be obtained by performing Stehfest numerical inversion on equation (11) of the dimensionless bottom hole pressure solution in the pull-out space after considering the well reservoir and skin effect. .

[0109] Plot well test interpretation curves for naturally fractured reservoirs. Obtain the theoretical bottom-hole pressure based on real-time bottom-hole pressure and the well test interpretation curves for naturally fractured reservoirs. Plot theoretical well test curves. Fit the theoretical well test curves to the measured curves to obtain the natural fracture length. Specifically:

[0110] Using pressure measurement data from the actual well production or shut-in phases, well test interpretation curves are plotted. For gas wells, the actual well production or shut-in phase pressure measurement data must first be converted into pseudo-pressures, and then the well test interpretation curves are plotted based on the pseudo-pressures. The pseudo-pressures are:

[0111] (12)

[0112] In the formula: Atmospheric pressure, For the original pressure, The deviation coefficient under the original conditions. The viscosity of the fluid under the original conditions. To simulate pressure, For pressure, For pressure p The corresponding viscosity is below. For pressure p The corresponding deviation coefficient is below.

[0113] According to the superposition principle, we have:

[0114] (13)

[0115] For integration variables, for The derivative of t For time, For integration variables Output per moment Production pressure differential per unit output At the current time t With integral variables The first derivative of the time difference.

[0116] in:

[0117]

[0118] in This refers to the production pressure differential per unit output.

[0119] The calculated real-time space bottom-hole pressure solution Substituting into equation (13) yields the theoretical bottom hole pressure at the corresponding pressure measurement time. And plot the theoretical well test curves.

[0120] The conductivity, half-length, and permeability of the natural fractures were repeatedly adjusted until the theoretical well test curves and the actual well test curves coincided, thus obtaining the correct parameters and finally the length of the natural fractures.

[0121] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for calculating the length of large-scale natural cracks, including:

[0122] Table 1 contains a collection of basic parameters for wellbore, fluid, and reservoir data from wells that have undergone unsteady gauging tests.

[0124]

[0125] A mathematical model for well testing of naturally fractured reservoirs is established. Based on the pressure measurement data during the actual well production or shut-in stage, the simulated pressure data of the actual well test is obtained after transformation by equation (12). In the figure, Δ t This indicates the duration of the unstable well test, in hours (h). To simulate the pressure difference, well test interpretation curves were plotted using simulated pressure data from the actual well shut-in stage. Theoretical well test curves were plotted based on real-time bottom-hole pressure obtained from a mathematical model of natural fractured reservoir well testing. The theoretical and measured well test curves were then fitted together for interpretation. The fitting results are shown below. Figure 3 As can be seen from the figure, the theoretical and measured curves basically coincide, and the length of the natural crack is obtained as 920m through fitting.
