Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of reservoir engineering technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for determining the control pore volume of a single well in a five-point well group. Background Technology
[0002] In polymer flooding (PF) design, the selection of an appropriate polymer dosage is crucial to the success of the design. Insufficient dosage results in a low recovery rate, while excessive dosage leads to reduced polymer utilization and lower economic benefits. The polymer dosage is related to the solution concentration and injection volume, which in turn is related to the control pore volume of a single well. The control pore volume of a single well is one of the important geological parameters in polymer injection design, directly affecting the recovery rate and the economic benefits of oilfield development.
[0003] According to the definition of single-well controlled pore volume, single-well controlled pore volume = single-well controlled area × effective thickness × effective porosity. Among them, effective thickness and effective porosity can be obtained from the static database of oilfield development, while the determination of single-well controlled area is more complicated. Currently, the methods for determining single-well controlled area are: (1) Based on well test data, use the pressure recovery curve to determine the oil well drainage area and use the drainage area as the single-well controlled area; (2) Based on the saturated pressure distribution in the numerical simulation calculation results, calculate the pressure gradient between the grid block and the surrounding four wells, and then determine the grid controlled by the single well based on the pressure gradient. The area of the grid block controlled by each well is accumulated sequentially to obtain the controlled area of the well; (3) Based on the distribution of sand body types, use the triangular mesh method to calculate the single-well controlled area. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The inventors discovered during their work that the existing techniques for determining the control area of a single well, although also called "single-well control area," actually measure the area of the sand body type controlled by the single well, not the true "pore volume (area) within the fluid flow range controlled by the single well." While the above method can be used to calculate the single-well control pore volume of a five-point well network for polymer injection, in the high-water-cut and ultra-high-water-cut development stages of multi-layer sandstone oilfields, the calculation of the single-well control pore volume during polymer injection using a five-point well network densification adjustment to further improve recovery is hampered by the complexity of the exploited formations and the presence of multiple well network combinations. Pressure test data is often unavailable, and even when available, it is usually incomplete (not available for every five-point well group or sedimentary unit), making it impossible to use pressure test data for single-well control pore volume calculation. While numerical simulation can calculate the control pore volume of a single well, it requires a large amount of input data and takes a long time, making it difficult to perform single-well control pore volume calculations quickly and readily, thus failing to meet the needs of polymer dosage analysis—single-well control pore volume analysis—in the polymer flooding scheme design process.
[0005] To enrich the process routes and increase the selection space, this invention provides a method and device for determining the control pore volume of a single well in a five-point well group. It is particularly suitable for the development stage of multi-layer sandstone oilfields with high water cut and ultra-high water cut, and for the development stage of polymer injection using a five-point well network to further improve the recovery rate. It can quickly and conveniently determine the control pore volume of a single well in a five-point well group using very little data.
[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for determining the control pore volume of a single well in a five-point well group, comprising:
[0007] Taking one production well and one injection well in the five-point well group as a research unit, two rays are drawn with the production well and the injection well as vertices respectively. The angle between each ray and the line connecting the production well and the injection well is half of a preset angle. A rhomboid range is determined with the two intersection points of the four rays and the production well and the injection well as vertices. This range is taken as the fluid flow range controlled by the production well in the research unit, and the fluid flow range controlled by the production well in the well group is obtained.
[0008] Based on the seepage condition limit and the fluid flow range controlled by the production well within the well group, the single-well control area of the production well within the well group is determined. Combined with the corresponding effective reservoir thickness and effective porosity, the single-well control pore volume of the production well within the well group is determined.
[0009] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a device for determining the control pore volume of a single well in a five-point well group, comprising:
[0010] The fluid flow range determination module is used to take one production well and one injection well in a five-point well group as a research unit. Two rays are drawn with the production well and the injection well as vertices respectively. The angle between each ray and the line connecting the production well and the injection well is half of a preset angle. A rhomboid range is determined with the two intersection points of the four rays and the production well and the injection well as vertices. This range is used as the fluid flow range controlled by the production well in the research unit, thus obtaining the fluid flow range controlled by the production well in the well group.
[0011] The control pore volume determination module is used to determine the single-well control area of each well in the well group based on the seepage condition limit and the fluid flow range controlled by the production well in the well group. Combined with the corresponding effective reservoir thickness and effective porosity, the module determines the single-well control pore volume of the production well in the well group.
[0012] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention provide a computer storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, implement the above-mentioned method for determining the control pore volume of a single well in a five-point well group.
[0013] Fourthly, this disclosure provides a server, 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 above-mentioned method for determining the control pore volume of a single well in a five-point well group.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the above-described technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention include at least the following:
[0015] The method for determining the control pore volume of a single well in a five-point well group provided in this invention treats one production well and one injection well within the five-point well group as a research unit, approximating its streamline field range as a rhombus. Based on pre-determined rhombus angles and seepage condition limits, only the location information of each well within the five-point well group and easily obtainable effective thickness and porosity distribution data of each flow unit are needed to quickly and conveniently determine the control pore volume of a single well in the five-point well group. Furthermore, the rhomboid approximation of the streamline field range fully meets the accuracy requirements for single-well control pore volume analysis in reservoir engineering. This method solves the problem of insufficient or incomplete pressure test data and production dynamics during the opening stage of multi-layer sandstone oilfields with high and ultra-high water cut, requiring the calculation of control pore volume; it also solves the problem of long simulation times and difficulty in quickly calculating single-well control pore volume in reservoir numerical simulation calculations; and it addresses the issue that the control pore volume of a single well (the pore volume of the single well controlling the sand body type) determined by existing technologies is not necessarily the pore volume within the single well's controlled fluid flow range.

Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

Furthermore, with respect to numerical ranges in this invention, it should be understood that each intermediate value between the upper and lower limits of the range is also specifically disclosed.

[0025] Unless otherwise stated, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. While only preferred methods and materials have been described herein, any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein may be used in the implementation or testing of this invention. All references to this specification are incorporated by way of citation to disclose and describe methods and / or materials associated with those references. In the event of any conflict with any incorporated reference, the content of this specification shall prevail.
[0026] In the high-water-cut and ultra-high-water-cut development stages of multi-layer sandstone oilfields, the well network densification employed to further enhance oil recovery is typically a five-point well network, composed of multiple five-point well groups. A typical five-point well group includes a central injection well and four surrounding production wells. (See [link to documentation]). Figure 1 As shown; or, the five-point well group includes a central production well and four surrounding injection wells. The above two scenarios represent the standard setup for a five-point well group. Optionally, other well placement methods can also be used for the five-point well group; this embodiment does not limit the specific method used.
[0027] Based on the concept of single-well controlled pore volume—the pore volume within the fluid flow range controlled by a single well—numerical simulations of multiple five-point well groups revealed that the streamline field distribution exhibits a "petal-like" characteristic. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 1As shown, a production well and an injection well within a five-point well group are taken as a research unit, and its streamline field envelope includes two symmetrical arc segments.
[0028] From a mathematical perspective, the region enclosed by two symmetrical arcs is not easy to quantify, the area is not easy to calculate, and it is not easy to average. Therefore, in order to simplify the calculation, this embodiment approximates the region enclosed by two symmetrical arcs, that is, the envelope of the flow field line of each research unit, as a rhomboid region while meeting the requirements of calculation accuracy.
[0029] Based on numerical simulation results of multiple five-point well groups within the target reservoir, the streamline field envelope of each study unit within each five-point well group was obtained. For the streamline field envelope of each study unit, a rhombus was determined with the produced well and the injection well within the study unit as its two opposite vertices. The area difference between the rhombus and the envelope did not exceed a set area difference threshold. The average value of the acute angle of the rhombus was obtained. In subsequent studies of other five-point well groups within the target reservoir, to avoid the diversification of data required for numerical simulation and excessively long model time, this average value was determined as the acute angle of the approximate rhombus of the streamline field of each study unit in the five-point well groups that were not numerically simulated, facilitating subsequent calculations.
[0030] Specifically, how to determine a rhombus with the production well and the injection well as its two opposite vertices, such that the area difference between it and the envelope does not exceed a set area difference threshold, can be determined manually by geologists or after precise mathematical calculations. This embodiment does not limit the specific determination method.
[0031] In addition to determining the acute angle of the approximate rhombus shape of the streamline field envelope of the research unit mentioned above, the preparatory work required for this embodiment also requires comprehensively determining the seepage condition limit based on the perforation situation of the production wells in the target reservoir, geological characteristics, fluid properties, and other static and dynamic conditions.
[0032] Specifically, the lower limit of the seepage condition includes both the lower limit of porosity and the lower limit of permeability. That is, only areas where both porosity and permeability exceed the lower limit of porosity can potentially be considered as single-well pore volume control areas. Optionally, the lower limit of the seepage condition may also include the lower limit of effective thickness, etc.
[0033] To address the challenge of calculating the control pore volume of a single well in a multi-layered sandstone oilfield during the high and ultra-high water-cut development phase due to incomplete data, making it impossible to use test data or production dynamic data for calculation, and hindering the timely calculation of the control pore volume of a single well using numerical simulation, this invention provides a method and apparatus for determining the control pore volume of a single well in a five-point well network. This method enables rapid and convenient determination of the control pore volume of a single well in a five-point well network using minimal data. The method and apparatus provided in this embodiment are particularly suitable for the real-time and rapid calculation of the control pore volume of a single well in a multi-layered sandstone oilfield during the high and ultra-high water-cut development phase, in order to further improve oil recovery.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a method for determining the control pore volume of a single well in a well group using the five-point method, the process of which is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0036] Step S21: Taking one production well and one injection well in the five-point well group as a research unit, draw two rays with the production well and the injection well as vertices respectively. The angle between each ray and the line connecting the production well and the injection well is half of the preset angle. Use the two intersection points of the four rays and the production well and the injection well as vertices to determine a rhomboid range, which is the fluid flow range controlled by the production well in the research unit, and obtain the fluid flow range controlled by the production well in the well group.
[0037] Specifically, the aforementioned preset angle is the average acute angle of the approximate rhombus shape of the streamline field envelope of the research unit within the reservoir where the five-point well group is located, determined by the method described above.
[0038] In some embodiments, the well group boundary is determined based on the relationship between the injection wells and the production wells in the well group, and it is determined whether the two intersection points of the four rays are within the well group boundary. If so, a rhombus range can be determined directly using the two intersection points of the four rays, the production well, and the injection well as vertices; if not, if the production well is located at the edge of the well group, a rhombus range is determined using the midpoints between the production well and each of the other two adjacent wells, as well as the production well and the injection well as vertices; if the injection well is located at the edge of the well group, a rhombus range is determined using the midpoints between the injection well and each of the other two adjacent wells, as well as the production well and the injection well as vertices.
[0039] by Figure 1 For example, if the research unit consists of production well 1 and injection well, and if the two intersection points of the four rays are not within the boundary of the well group, then the midpoint between production well 1 and production well 2, the midpoint between production well 1 and production well 3, and production well 1 and injection well are taken as the four vertices to determine the rhombus range.
[0040] The five-point well group consists of four study units. After the fluid flow range controlled by the production wells in the four study units is determined, for each production well in the well group (there may be only one), the sum of the fluid flow range controlled by the production well in each study unit is determined as the fluid flow range controlled by that production well in the well group.
[0041] Step S22: Based on the seepage condition limit and the fluid flow range controlled by the production well within the well group, determine the single-well control area of the production well within the well group. Combined with the corresponding effective reservoir thickness and effective porosity, determine the single-well control pore volume of the production well within the well group.
[0042] Based on the physical property distribution characteristics of each flow unit, and according to the seepage condition limit and the fluid flow range controlled by the production well in the well group, the control area of the production well in each flow unit is determined. Combining the effective reservoir thickness and effective porosity of the production well in each flow unit, the volumetric method is used to determine the control pore volume of the production well in each flow unit, thus obtaining the single-well control pore volume of the production well in the well group.
[0043] The method for determining the control pore volume of a single well in a five-point well group provided in Embodiment 1 of this invention treats one production well and one injection well within the five-point well group as a research unit, approximating its streamline field range as a rhombus. Based on pre-determined rhombus angles and seepage condition limits, only the location information of each well within the five-point well group and easily obtainable distribution data of effective thickness and effective porosity of each flow unit are needed to quickly and conveniently determine the control pore volume of a single well in the five-point well group. Furthermore, the rhomboid approximation of the streamline field range fully meets the accuracy requirements for single-well control pore volume analysis in reservoir engineering. This method solves the problem of insufficient or incomplete pressure test data and production dynamics during the opening stage of multi-layer sandstone oilfields with high and ultra-high water cut, requiring the calculation of control pore volume; it also solves the problem of long simulation times and difficulty in quickly calculating single-well control pore volume in reservoir numerical simulation calculations; and it addresses the issue that the control pore volume of a single well (the pore volume of the single well controlling the sand body type) determined by existing technologies is not necessarily the pore volume within the single well's controlled fluid flow range.
[0044] Example 2
[0045] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a specific implementation flow of the five-point method for determining the control pore volume of a single well in a well group, referring to... Figure 3 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0046] Step S31: Establish a database for calculating the control pore volume of a single well.
[0047] Based on the study block's fine-grained layer database, sedimentary unit stratification database, sedimentary unit reservoir database, oil bottom and water top database, and coordinate database, a database for calculating the controlling pore volume of a single well was formed. This database contains relevant information for calculating the controlling pore volume of a single well, including well name, horizontal and vertical coordinates, sand body type, thickness level, effective reservoir thickness, and effective porosity for each sedimentary unit.
[0048] Step S32: Determine the boundary of the five-point well group.
[0049] Based on the relationship between injection wells and production wells, the boundaries of each five-point well group in the study block are determined.
[0050] Step S33: Determine the fluid flow range controlled by the production well in the five-point well group.
[0051] The specific determination process is described in Example 1.
[0052] Step S34: Calculate the single-well control pore volume of each production well in a five-point well group.
[0053] Within the fluid flow range, the seepage conditions of fluid flow in each sedimentary unit are first determined—the lower limits of effective thickness and permeability. Then, the pore volume of different flow units controlled by each production well is calculated using the single-well area method (a method that uses the triangular network method to determine the single-well area and then uses the volume method to calculate the pore volume). The pore volumes of the production wells in the five-point well group are then accumulated to obtain the single-well controlled pore volume of the production wells.
[0054] Step S35: Accumulate the total single-well control pore volume for each production well.
[0055] After calculating the single-well controlled pore volume of each production well in each five-point well group using the above method, the total single-well controlled pore volume of each production well is obtained by summing them up. Optionally, the well-controlled pore volume of each flow unit and the well-controlled pore volume of the entire study block can also be obtained by summing them up.
[0056] Using the method of this invention, the controlled pore volume of a single well in 5 sedimentary units across 10 well groups in a development block of an oilfield in eastern my country was calculated. An effective thickness of 0.2 meters and a permeability of 0.05 μm were used. 2 Using a maximum streamline angle of 65 degrees for both injection and production wells as a control condition, the control pore volume of each well was calculated. Partial results are shown in Table 1. These calculations are more reliable than those using the "single-well control pore volume method for different types of sand bodies," providing a geological basis for further polymer injection to enhance oil recovery in this block.

If yes, a rhombus-shaped range is determined using the two intersection points of the four rays, the production well, and the injection well as vertices. If no, if the production well is located at the edge of the well group, a rhombus-shaped range is determined using the midpoints between the production well and each of the other two adjacent wells, as well as the production well and the injection well as vertices. If the injection well is located at the edge of the well group, a rhombus-shaped range is determined using the midpoints between the injection well and each of the other two adjacent wells, as well as the production well and the injection well as vertices.

The area difference between the rhombus and the envelope does not exceed a set area difference threshold. The average value of the acute angles of the obtained rhombus is determined as the preset angle.
