Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oilfield development technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic equipment and storage medium for heavy oil reservoir extraction. Background Technology
[0002] Deep heavy oil reservoirs refer to heavy oil reservoirs with a burial depth greater than 1000m, a crude oil viscosity greater than 100cP containing gas underground, and a permeability less than 300mD. These reservoirs are extremely difficult to develop. my country has over 800 million tons of deep heavy oil resources, and there is a demand for stable heavy oil production. In the next ten years, PetroChina's cold-extraction production of heavy oil is expected to reach over 2 million tons. The economical and effective development of these reservoirs is of great significance for stabilizing heavy oil production.
[0003] Currently, the main development method for deep heavy oil reservoirs is conventional waterflooding. During conventional waterflooding, the deep burial depth, high crude oil viscosity, low permeability, strong heterogeneity, and unsuitable operating conditions create dominant water flow channels within the reservoir, resulting in low flow resistance. This easily leads to ineffective water injection, significantly reducing oil recovery and economic benefits; the predicted waterflooding recovery rate is only 13%.
[0004] To address the issues of dominant channels and ineffective water injection during waterflooding, conventional techniques include foam flooding and polymer flooding. By injecting foam or polymer solutions into the injection well, the water absorption profile of the well can be improved, thereby increasing the waterflood swept volume and enhancing the recovery rate.
[0005] However, most polymers currently used in polymer flooding (PAM-based) are relatively expensive, requiring large quantities due to their degradation and retention in the reservoir. The effectiveness of polymer flooding is also significantly affected by shear rate and salinity. The processes for polymer retention in the reservoir, production fluid treatment, and separation are complex, challenging, and costly. Furthermore, in foam flooding with gas injection and huff-and-puff, the gas's effective range within the reservoir is limited (10-15m) due to the inherent mechanisms of huff-and-puff development, resulting in limited enhanced oil recovery (not exceeding 10%). Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention provides a method, apparatus, electronic equipment, and storage medium for heavy oil reservoir development, in order to increase the production and recovery rate of the target heavy oil reservoir.
[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for exploiting heavy oil reservoirs, the method comprising:
[0008] The injection machine is controlled to inject an oil displacement medium into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir, and to inject a viscosity-reducing substance into the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir. The oil displacement medium includes glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide, and the viscosity-reducing substance includes oil-soluble viscosity reducer, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The injection well and production well of the target heavy oil reservoir are connected by a bottom channel so that the production oil from the injection well flows to the production well.
[0009] During the well-steaming and well-opening production processes of the production well in the target heavy oil reservoir, the injection machine is controlled to inject the viscosity-reducing substance into the slug of the production well in the target heavy oil reservoir until the production well in the target heavy oil reservoir completes a preset number of single-round inrush and outrushes.
[0010] The injection machine is controlled to inject the oil displacement medium into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir until the water cut of the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir reaches a first threshold. The injection machine is then controlled to inject water separately into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir until the water cut of the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir reaches a second threshold. The exploitation of the target heavy oil reservoir ends when the first threshold is less than the second threshold.
[0011] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a heavy oil reservoir exploitation apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
[0012] The injection module for injection wells is used to control the injection machine to inject oil-displacing media into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir and to control the injection machine to inject viscosity-reducing substances into the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir. The oil-displacing media includes glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide, and the viscosity-reducing substances include oil-soluble viscosity reducers, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The injection well and production well of the target heavy oil reservoir are connected by a bottom channel so that the production oil from the injection well flows to the production well.
[0013] The production well constraint module is used to control the injection machine to inject viscosity-reducing substances into the slug of the production well in the target heavy oil reservoir during the well shut-in and well opening processes, until the production well in the target heavy oil reservoir completes a preset number of single-round inrush and out.
[0014] The injection well constraint module controls the injection machine to inject the oil displacement medium into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir until the water cut of the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir reaches a first threshold. The module then controls the injection machine to inject water separately into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir until the water cut of the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir reaches a second threshold. The exploitation of the target heavy oil reservoir ends when the first threshold is less than the second threshold.
[0015] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention also provide an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the heavy oil reservoir exploitation method as described in any of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0016] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a storage medium for storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a computer processor, are used to perform a heavy oil reservoir exploitation method as described in any of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0017] The technical solution of this invention achieves increased production and recovery rate of the target heavy oil reservoir by synergistically injecting glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide into the injection well, and injecting oil-soluble viscosity reducer, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide into the production well. Furthermore, it involves implementing injection schemes for the production and injection wells of the target heavy oil reservoir according to different conditions.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0031] Example 1
[0032] Figure 1 The present invention provides a flowchart of a method for exploiting heavy oil reservoirs in Embodiment 1. This embodiment is applicable to heavy oil reservoir exploitation. The method can be executed by a heavy oil reservoir exploitation device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software. The heavy oil reservoir exploitation device can be configured in any electronic device with network communication and computing capabilities.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0034] S110. Control the injection machine to inject oil displacement medium into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir, and control the injection machine to inject viscosity-reducing substance into the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir; wherein, the oil displacement medium includes glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide, and the viscosity-reducing substance includes oil-soluble viscosity reducer, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, and the injection well and production well of the target heavy oil reservoir are connected by a bottom channel so that the production oil from the injection well flows to the production well.
[0035] In this embodiment of the application, the oil displacement medium refers to the substance used to drive heavy oil in the development of the target heavy oil reservoir, and the viscosity reducing substance refers to the substance used to reduce the viscosity and drive heavy oil in the development of the target heavy oil reservoir.
[0036] The oil displacement medium includes a glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide. In this embodiment, the glycerol used can be a byproduct of biodiesel production. Glycerol is a viscous liquid, insoluble in oil, but miscible with water in various proportions. Adding a certain proportion of glycerol-water solution during the oil displacement process in the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir can increase the viscosity of the oil displacement medium, improve sweep efficiency, and thus increase oil production and recovery rate. Furthermore, due to the high density of glycerol (1.261 g / cm³),... 3 During the oil displacement process involving the injection of glycerol-water solution, the oil-water interface of the produced liquid is relatively stable, making separation easier. Furthermore, separating glycerol from the produced liquid can reduce development costs.
[0037] Meanwhile, carbon dioxide is added during the oil displacement process in the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir. When carbon dioxide dissolves in oil, it can reduce the viscosity of crude oil and improve the oil-water mobility ratio, thereby increasing the sweep efficiency of the oil displacement medium, achieving the best oil displacement effect, and improving the recovery rate.
[0038] The viscosity-reducing substances include an oil-soluble viscosity reducer, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. In this embodiment, the oil-soluble viscosity reducer is a copolymeric viscosity reducer, which can be prepared by solution polymerization. It is formulated using octadecyl methacrylate (SMA), N-phenylmaleimide (N-PMI), and vinyl acetate (VA) as monomers in a monomer ratio of 10:8:3. The optimal reaction conditions are: reaction temperature 70°C, reaction time 6 hours, and initiator addition of 1 wt%. Under these conditions, the oil-soluble viscosity reducer, when added to heavy oil at a concentration of 0.3 wt%, exhibits the best viscosity-reducing effect, achieving a viscosity reduction rate of 55.49%.
[0039] In the process of oil displacement in production wells of target heavy oil reservoirs, nitrogen is added. Due to its low density and viscosity, nitrogen can generate a driving force in the reservoir, propelling the flow of heavy oil. At the same time, nitrogen can also occupy a certain space, maintaining reservoir pressure and improving production efficiency.
[0040] By injecting glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide into the injection wells of the target heavy oil reservoir, and injecting oil-soluble viscosity reducers, nitrogen and carbon dioxide into the production wells of the target heavy oil reservoir, the two-end oil displacement operation of the injection wells and production wells is achieved, which accelerates the connection between injection and production wells and the overall oil displacement efficiency, and is conducive to improving the oil production rate and recovery rate of the entire production process.
[0041] As an optional but not limited implementation, controlling the injection machine to inject glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir includes:
[0042] The injection machine is controlled to alternately inject a reference concentration of glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide into the slug of the injection well in the target heavy oil reservoir. The reference concentration represents the mass concentration of glycerol in water.
[0043] In this embodiment, the slug refers to the injection of glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide in a segmented injection structure. After the oil displacement medium is injected into the oil layer in the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir, a distinct glycerol-water solution oil displacement zone is formed, which is then replaced by another substance, carbon dioxide. By using a multi-slug alternating injection method, the oil displacement effect can be effectively improved.
[0044] A glycerol-water solution of the reference concentration can maximize oil displacement efficiency while ensuring effective displacement by the glycerol-water solution.
[0045] During the oil displacement process, the slug alternately injects glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide. Injecting a reference concentration of glycerol-water solution increases the viscosity of the aqueous phase in the target heavy oil reservoir, improving the mobility control capability of waterflooding, reducing fingering, and allowing the glycerol-water solution to more uniformly spread throughout the reservoir, reaching areas that are otherwise difficult to reach. Injecting carbon dioxide continuously dissolves it in the heavy oil and water, forming a miscible zone in a portion of the heavy oil under certain pressure and temperature. This completely eliminates the interfacial tension between water and oil in localized or all heavy oil areas and reduces the viscosity of the heavy oil, thus improving the oil displacement effect.
[0046] As an optional but not limited implementation, the injection machine is controlled to alternately inject a reference concentration of glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide into the slug of the injection well in the target heavy oil reservoir, including:
[0047] Determine the target viscosity of the glycerol-water solution;
[0048] The reference concentration of the injected glycerol-water solution is determined based on the target viscosity;
[0049] The injection machine is controlled to alternately inject the reference concentration of glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide into the slug of the injection well in the target heavy oil reservoir.
[0050] In this embodiment, the target viscosity refers to the viscosity value of the glycerol-water solution used for viscosity reduction and displacement of heavy oil in the target heavy oil reservoir. Higher viscosity glycerol-water solutions help improve the flow control of the displacement fluid, reduce its surge, and increase oil displacement efficiency, but may increase injection pressure. Lower viscosity glycerol-water solutions may be less effective in terms of flow control and sweep efficiency, but require lower injection pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to select a glycerol-water solution with an appropriate target viscosity based on the target heavy oil reservoir conditions and oil displacement requirements to achieve the best oil displacement effect.
[0051] It should be noted that different viscosity values of glycerol-water solutions correspond to different mass concentrations of glycerol in water. Based on the known relationship between the viscosity and mass concentration of glycerol-water solutions, the mass concentration of glycerol corresponding to the target viscosity of the glycerol-water solution is determined as the reference concentration. The injection machine is controlled to alternately inject the reference concentration of glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide into the sluice of the injection well in the target heavy oil reservoir to improve the oil displacement effect.
[0052] See Figure 2 The graph shows the relationship between the viscosity of glycerol-water solution and the mass concentration of glycerol under different temperature conditions. The graph includes the relationship between the viscosity of glycerol-water solution and the mass concentration of glycerol at an injection temperature of 20℃ and at an injection temperature of 10℃.
[0053] Specifically, the steps for alternately injecting glycerol-water solution and CO2 into the slug of the injection well in the target heavy oil reservoir are as follows: First, determine the target viscosity of the glycerol-water solution to be injected at 20°C (20-40 cP). Then, inject a glycerol-water solution with a reference concentration range of 50%-80% (20°C) into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir. The mass ratio of injected CO2 to glycerol-water solution is 1:1-2:1, and the injection intensity of the glycerol-water solution is 1-2 m. 3 The CO2 injection intensity is 1-2 t / d / m, and the glycerol-water solution and CO2 slug are injected alternately every 1-3 months.
[0054] As an optional but not limited implementation, controlling the injection machine to inject viscosity-reducing substances into the production wells of the target heavy oil reservoir includes:
[0055] The injection machine is controlled to alternately inject viscosity-reducing substances into the slug of the production well in the target heavy oil reservoir in multiple single-round huff and puff processes; the single-round huff and puff process includes the viscosity-reducing substance injection process, the well shut-in process, and the well opening and production process.
[0056] In this embodiment of the application, the production well's throughput process means that the production well is simultaneously producing and recovering oil while also carrying out an oil displacement process, thereby accelerating the oil displacement efficiency and recovery rate.
[0057] The injection of viscosity-reducing substances into production wells can promptly reduce the viscosity of heavy oil near the production wells, overcoming the problem that oil cannot be extracted in a timely manner even after the injection wells have been flooded.
[0058] The well-steaming process allows the oil displacement agent to interact better with the heavy oil, promoting the flow and extraction of the heavy oil, which helps to further improve the oil recovery rate of the reservoir.
[0059] Well opening is the process of recovering produced fluids, which include oil, gas, water, and other substances.
[0060] The process of controlling the injection machine to inject viscosity-reducing substances into the production wells of the target heavy oil reservoir in multiple single-round injections and churns refers to the cyclical process of injecting viscosity-reducing substances, shutting down the well, and starting production in the production wells of the target heavy oil reservoir multiple times, so as to maximize the exploitation of the target heavy oil reservoir and improve the recovery rate.
[0061] As an optional but not limited implementation, the single-round throughput process includes:
[0062] The injection machine is controlled to inject an oil-soluble viscosity reducer into the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir. Carbon dioxide and nitrogen are alternately injected into the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir. Finally, nitrogen is injected into the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir, and the viscosity reducer injection process of the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir is completed.
[0063] The well valves are closed according to the well-suppression time to shut down the production wells of the target heavy oil reservoir;
[0064] Once the well-steaming process is complete, the well valve is opened, and the production machine is controlled to continuously produce oil for several days on the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir until the daily oil production of the production well is less than the production threshold, after which the next single-cycle churn-and-purge process begins.
[0065] In this embodiment of the application, the specific steps of the viscosity-reducing substance injection process in the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir are as follows: sequentially injecting oil-soluble viscosity reducer (0.5-0.7 times the total amount of oil-soluble viscosity reducer), N2 (0.3-0.65 times the total amount of N2), CO2 (0.3-0.65 times the total amount of CO2), N2 (0.3-0.65 times the total amount of N2), CO2 (0.3-0.65 times the total amount of CO2), oil-soluble viscosity reducer (0.5-0.3 times the total amount of oil-soluble viscosity reducer), and N2 (0.05-0.1 times the total amount of N2). The injection intensity of CO2 is 25-100 t / m, and the injection rate is 40-70 t / d. The injection intensity of the oil-soluble viscosity reducer is 0.7-1.5 t / m, and the injection rate is 3-4 t / h. The CO2:N2 injection volume ratio is 2:1, and the N2 injection rate is 8000-12500 m³ / h. 3 / d.
[0066] It should be noted that, firstly, an oil-soluble viscosity reducer is injected at the production wellhead. This allows the subsequently injected carbon dioxide to preferentially react with the oil-soluble viscosity reducer, preventing asphaltene deposition caused by carbon dioxide and heavy oil extraction, which could clog the wellhead conduit. Simultaneously, sufficient carbon dioxide is added to the production well to reduce the viscosity of the heavy oil, making it more fluid. Since the driving force of carbon dioxide is limited, some deep, difficult-to-reach areas exist. Injecting nitrogen into the production well rapidly expands and generates a certain driving force, propelling the carbon dioxide to reduce the viscosity of the heavy oil in these less accessible areas far from the wellbore and promoting its flow. Next, an oil-soluble viscosity reducer is injected again into the production well to prevent asphaltene deposition caused by carbon dioxide extraction from clogging the wellhead conduit again. Finally, a small amount of nitrogen is injected into the production well. Due to the low density of nitrogen, the mixed system can be pushed deeper into the target heavy oil reservoir, improving oil displacement efficiency.
[0067] After the injection of viscosity-reducing substances into the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir is completed, the well is shut off to allow the injected oil displacement medium and viscosity-reducing substances to interact better with the heavy oil, thereby promoting the flow and extraction of the heavy oil.
[0068] After the set well-closing time is reached, the production well is opened for continuous production for several days. When the daily oil production of a single production well is less than the preset oil production threshold, the next round of injection and churn is carried out, repeating the same steps of the production well viscosity-reducing material injection process, well-closing process, and well-opening production process.
[0069] See Figure 3 This diagram illustrates the distribution of the injection media (i.e., oil displacement medium, viscosity reducer, and water) within the oil reservoir during a single-cycle injection / pump process. Near the injection well, there is a slug glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide, while near the production well, there is a slug oil-soluble viscosity reducer, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen.
[0070] S120. During the well-steaming and well-opening production processes of the production well in the target heavy oil reservoir, the injection machine is controlled to inject the viscosity-reducing substance into the slug of the production well in the target heavy oil reservoir until the production well in the target heavy oil reservoir completes a preset number of single-round inrush and outrushes.
[0071] In this embodiment of the application, based on multiple factors such as mining effect assessment, mining cost assessment, and reservoir status assessment, the number of times a single round of production wells in the target heavy oil reservoir is determined, i.e., the value of the preset number of times, which is usually 2 or 3.
[0072] After the production well completes the preset number of single-round churn-and-purge processes, the injection of viscosity-reducing substances into the sluice plug of the production well in the target heavy oil reservoir is stopped, and then the well-clogging process and the well-opening production process are repeated.
[0073] As the number of single-cycle injections in a production well increases, the radius of the injection front expands further into the oil layer, reaching a maximum of 50-70m.
[0074] See Figure 4 This diagram illustrates the distribution of the injected medium (i.e., oil displacement medium, viscosity-reducing substance, and water) within the oil reservoir after completing a predetermined number of single-round injection and churn processes. Near the injection well, there are slug glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide, while the production well is shut down and there are no viscosity-reducing substances near the production well.
[0075] S130. Control the injection machine to inject the oil displacement medium into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir until the water cut of the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir reaches the first threshold. Control the injection machine to inject water separately into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir until the water cut of the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir reaches the second threshold. The exploitation of the target heavy oil reservoir ends, and the first threshold is less than the second threshold.
[0076] In this embodiment, when the water cut in the production well is high and reaches the first threshold, it indicates that there is little remaining heavy oil in the target reservoir. This allows for reduced injection costs by individually injecting water into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir for oil recovery. Typically, the first threshold is set to 80%. When the water cut in the production well reaches 80%, water-drive can be used in the injection well to recover the remaining heavy oil.
[0077] See Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram showing the distribution of the injected medium (i.e., oil displacement medium, viscosity reducing substance and water) in the reservoir after the water cut of the production well reaches the first threshold. There is an aqueous solution layer near the injection well.
[0078] Simultaneously, when the water cut in the production well exceeds the first threshold and reaches the second threshold, it indicates that the oil content of the target heavy oil reservoir is low and cannot be effectively extracted, and extraction of the target heavy oil reservoir should be terminated. Typically, the second threshold is set at 95%; when the water cut in the production well reaches 95%, extraction of the target heavy oil reservoir ends.
[0079] As an optional but not limited implementation method, the formula for calculating the mass of carbon dioxide injected into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir is as follows:
[0080]
[0081] Where m is the mass of injected CO2, t, and V are the masses of CO2 injected. S The ground volume for CO2 injection is m3; P S Atmospheric pressure under standard conditions, MPa, with a value of 0.1 MPa; T S The ground standard state temperature is ℃, taken as 20℃; M is the molecular weight of CO2, taken as 0.044 g / mole.
[0082] The formula for calculating the subsurface volume of carbon dioxide injected into a production well of a target heavy oil reservoir is as follows:
[0083]
[0084] Among them, V R The underground volume of injected CO2 is m 3 V S m is the ground volume of CO2 injected. 3 ;P R Formation pressure, MPa; T R Formation temperature, °C;
[0085] The formula for calculating the subsurface volume of nitrogen injected into a production well in a target heavy oil reservoir is as follows:
[0086]
[0087] Among them, V R For the underground volume of N2 injected, m 3 V S m is the ground volume into which N2 is injected. 3 ;P R Formation pressure, MPa; T R Formation temperature, °C;
[0088] The method for calculating the subsurface volume of water injected separately into a production well of a target heavy oil reservoir is as follows:
[0089] V RW =B W V SW;
[0090] Among them, V RW The underground volume of injected water is m 3 V SW Let m be the volume of the ground into which water is injected. 3 B W The volume factor of formation water is m. 3 / m 3 The value is 1.
[0091] In this embodiment of the application, during the actual injection of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water into the injection well and production well, the following parameters need to be specified: the mass of carbon dioxide injected into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir, the underground volume of carbon dioxide injected into the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir, the underground volume of nitrogen injected into the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir, and the underground volume of water injected separately into the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir.
[0092] Specifically, the mass of carbon dioxide injected into the injection well can be determined based on the surface volume of injected carbon dioxide and the mass of carbon dioxide injected into the injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir using the calculation formula; the underground volume of carbon dioxide injected into the production well can be determined based on the surface volume of injected carbon dioxide and the underground volume of carbon dioxide injected into the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir using the calculation formula; the underground volume of nitrogen injected into the production well can be determined based on the surface volume of injected nitrogen and the underground volume of nitrogen injected into the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir using the calculation formula; and the underground volume of water injected into the production well can be determined based on the surface volume of injected water and the underground volume of water injected separately into the production well of the target heavy oil reservoir using the calculation formula.
[0093] As an optional but not limited approach, heavy oil reservoirs with underground crude oil viscosity below 1000 centipoise, permeability above 10 millidarcy, effective thickness greater than 10 meters, and oil saturation greater than 0.5 are selected.
[0094] In this embodiment of the application, the target heavy oil reservoir is a heavy oil reservoir with underground crude oil viscosity of less than 1000 cP, permeability of more than 10 mD, effective thickness of more than 10 m, and oil saturation of more than 0.5.
[0095] The heavy oil reservoir development method of the present invention is not affected by the formation water salinity and can also be applied to heavy oil reservoirs at different stages of depletion development, original undeveloped and water-drive development.
[0096] The technical solution of this invention achieves increased production and recovery rate of the target heavy oil reservoir by injecting glycerol-water solution and carbon dioxide into the injection well, and injecting oil-soluble viscosity reducer, nitrogen and carbon dioxide into the production well, and implementing injection schemes for the production well and injection well of the target heavy oil reservoir according to different conditions.
[0097] Taking a deep heavy oil reservoir in a certain area as the target heavy oil reservoir as an example, the following are the detailed steps of two specific implementation cases based on the heavy oil reservoir exploitation method.
[0098] Specific Implementation Case 1
[0099] The implementation steps for exploiting the target heavy oil reservoir are as follows:
[0100] (a) Determining the parameters of the target heavy oil reservoir: The well pattern parameters of the target heavy oil reservoir are a 170m inverse seven-point well pattern (production-injection ratio of 2:1). The basic parameters of the target heavy oil reservoir are as follows: the burial depth in the middle of the reservoir is 1050m, the average effective thickness of the oil layer is 15m, the original oil saturation is 0.68, the average porosity is 22%, the permeability is 10-100mD, the original formation pressure is 15MPa, the pressure coefficient is 1.25, the reservoir temperature is 23℃, the underground crude oil viscosity is 250cP, the degassed crude oil viscosity is 2000cP, and the degassed crude oil density is 0.925g / cm3. This reservoir was put into production in 1991. The original development method was mainly conventional water drive. After 32 years of development, the formation pressure is 10MPa, the water cut is 65%, and the water drive recovery rate is 9.53%.
[0101] (b) Injection process of oil displacement medium in injection well: The injection machine is controlled to inject 900t (498,528 m³ at standard surface conditions) of CO2 slug at 20°C into the central injection well in sequence and alternately. 3 The process involves injecting 900 tons of a glycerol-water solution slug at a temperature of 20℃, a reference concentration of 75%, and a target viscosity of 23.5 cP.
