Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas exploration, and in particular to a method and related apparatus for determining the water invasion stage of a water-producing gas well. Background Technology
[0002] With increasing demand for natural gas and the continuous advancement of exploration and development to deeper levels, the geological conditions of gas reservoirs are becoming increasingly complex. Currently, more than three-quarters of conventional gas reservoirs contain active edge water / bottom water. During depletion-type development, formation water intrudes into the gas reservoir and flows into the wellbore under pressure differential. After water intrusion, the flow in the reservoir changes from single-phase gas to two-phase gas-water flow. Due to the hydrophilicity of the reservoir rocks, the gas phase permeability is significantly reduced, resulting in a substantial decrease in the production capacity of water-producing gas wells, affecting the stable production period and recovery rate of the gas reservoir. Identifying the water intrusion stage and characteristics of water-producing gas wells, the remaining gas phase flow potential in the reservoir, and determining the impact of water production on the production capacity of water-producing gas wells are crucial for developing targeted water control technologies, extending the production cycle of gas wells, increasing the remaining reserves in water-flooded areas, and improving the economic benefits of gas reservoirs.
[0003] Unfortunately, there is currently a lack of effective technical means to determine the stage of water intrusion, the characteristics of water intrusion, and the remaining flow potential of the gas phase after water intrusion in water-producing gas wells. Generally, mining operations determine whether water intrusion has occurred in gas-producing wells based on whether formation water is produced in surface production measurements. However, this macroscopic method cannot determine the true state of intrusive water in the reservoir where the water-producing gas well is located. Characterizing the stage of water intrusion and its characteristics in the underground reservoir based on the amount of water produced in surface measurements is inaccurate, leading to a certain degree of uncertainty in the subsequent development of water control strategies. In addition, regarding the quantification of the production capacity loss of water-producing gas wells, existing methods typically use the overall production capacity equation under two-phase flow conditions of gas and water in the water-producing gas well to calculate the water production q. w The gas phase productivity under the condition of 0 = 0 is not representative of the actual gas well productivity under conditions without water intrusion; it only represents the error in productivity calculations when water production is ignored versus considered. Furthermore, the gas-water two-phase pseudo-pressure function used in existing methods has a more complex integration process compared to the pure gas phase pseudo-pressure function, which is not conducive to field applications, especially for pseudo-pressure in the nonlinear flow of gas and water in low-permeability gas wells. It cannot utilize field data to obtain the initiation pressure term representing water flow in low-permeability reservoirs.
[0004] Therefore, for water-producing gas wells, it is necessary to propose a method to determine the water invasion stage of the well and the gas production and capacity loss after water invasion, so as to better serve engineering practice. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Based on the flow equations of the water and gas phases in the water-gas well, the functional relationship between the relative permeability ratio of the water and gas phases and the water-gas ratio is obtained.

[0147] This invention provides a method for determining the water intrusion stage of a water-producing gas well, referring to... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0148] S11. Based on the water-gas ratio of the water-producing gas well and the mine production data, as well as the pre-derived functional relationship between the water saturation of the reservoir where the water-producing gas well is located and the water-gas ratio, determine the water saturation of the reservoir where the water-producing gas well is located.
[0149] The functional relationship between the water saturation of the reservoir and the water-gas ratio in the aforementioned water-producing gas wells can be obtained in advance by inversion based on the flow equations of the water and gas phases of the water-producing gas wells and the gas-water two-phase interpenetration curves of the reservoir.
[0150] S12. Determine the water invasion stage of the water-producing gas well based on the reservoir water saturation and the gas-water two-phase interpenetration curve in the mining area.
[0151] In step S11 above, the water saturation of the reservoir where the water-producing gas well is located is determined based on the functional relationship between the water saturation and the water-gas ratio of the reservoir where the water-producing gas well is located, which is obtained through pre-inversion.
[0152] The functional relationship between reservoir water saturation and water-gas ratio is obtained by inversion using the following method:
[0153] In one embodiment, based on the flow equations for the water and gas phases of a water-gas well, the functional relationship between the relative permeability ratio of the water and gas phases and the water-gas ratio can be derived. The specific method is as follows:
[0154] In one embodiment, it is assumed that the reservoir is homogeneous and of uniform thickness, with isothermal gas-water two-phase flow, neglecting gravity and capillary pressure, and that there is no miscibility between the gas and water phases. Considering that the gas well mainly operates under quasi-steady flow conditions during long-term production, the flow equations for the water and gas phases can be expressed as follows:
[0155]
[0156]
[0157] The first equation above is the equation for water phase flow, and the second equation is the equation for gas phase flow.

[0175] T—Reservoir temperature, K;
[0176] μ g —Gas viscosity, mPa·s;
[0177] Z—Gas compressibility factor, dimensionless.
[0178] The equation for the surface water-gas ratio of a water-producing gas well can be derived from Formulas 1 and 2. The expression for the water-gas ratio is as follows:
[0179]
[0180] Where R wg , Indicates the water-to-air ratio, m 3 / 10 4 m 3 .
[0181] In one embodiment, by further transforming Formula 3 above, the functional relationship between the relative permeability ratio of the water and air phases and the water-air ratio can be obtained. The expression for the functional relationship between the relative permeability ratio of the water and air phases and the water-air ratio is as follows:

[0184] On the right side of equation 4, the main parameters of the mine can be determined as follows:
[0185] ①μ w B w
[0186] Based on the properties of formation water, the viscosity μ of formation water under different formation pressure conditions was determined experimentally. w and formation water volume factor B w Because formation water is a slightly compressible fluid, its viscosity μ w and formation water volume factor B w The variation range with formation pressure is limited. Formation water viscosity and formation water volume coefficient are plotted as scatter plots or fitted as variation curves with different formation pressures. Values are then determined based on these scatter plots or variation curves during application.
[0187] ②ψ R ψ wff
[0188] The variation of gas pseudo-pressure ψ with formation pressure p is related to the gas PVT (the relationship between gas pressure P, volume V, and temperature T). A table or graph of the ψ-p relationship can be provided using common software or manual integration methods. In the high-pressure stage where the formation pressure exceeds a certain value, ψ-p exhibits a linear variation, i.e.:
[0189] ψ = ap + b (Formula 5);
[0190] Where a and b are constants.
[0191] Therefore, during the high-pressure stage, ψ R ~p R and ψ wf ~p wf The functional relationship is as follows:
[0192] ψ R =ap R +b (Formula 6);
[0193] ψ wf =ap wf +b (Formula 7);
[0194] Furthermore, using formulas 6 and 7, the relationship between the constant a and the reservoir pressure p is obtained. R and bottom hole flowing pressure p wf The relationship is as follows:
[0195]
[0196] In application, during the high-pressure stage, the 'a' value and the reservoir pressure 'p' are used. R and bottom hole flowing pressure p wf Determine the corresponding pseudo-pressure value.
[0197] In the low-pressure stage where the formation pressure is less than a certain value, there is no linear relationship between ψ and p. At this time, the relationship can be determined by the reservoir pressure p. R Bottom-hole flowing pressure p wf Determine ψ by referring to a diagram or table. R ψ wf .
[0198] ③r e r w
[0199] Well control radius r e Based on the well network deployment of the gas reservoir, a distance of 1 / 2 well spacing is generally taken, and the wellbore radius r w For example, based on experience, the value is taken as 0.1m.
[0200] ④S, D
[0201] The skin factor S is obtained using unsteady gauging tests on gas wells. For gas wells without unsteady gauging tests, values from adjacent wells can be used as a reference. The non-Darcy factor D is obtained using shut-in unsteady gauging tests at different production rates, or values from adjacent wells can be used as a reference.
[0202] In one embodiment, the inventors discovered that, based on the morphology of the gas-water two-phase interpermeability curve, a functional relationship between the relative permeability ratio of the water and gas phases and the reservoir water saturation can be obtained. The specific method is as follows:
[0203] Through indoor experiments, gas-water two-phase permeability curves for porous systems or fractured systems in different reservoirs can be obtained. Using these curves, the relative permeability ratio K between the gas and water phases at the same reservoir water saturation level can be calculated. rw / K rg And calculate K rw / K rg With the corresponding water saturation S w The ratio of water to air is used to obtain the relative permeability ratio K between the two phases. rw / K rg With reservoir water saturation S wThe inventors discovered that, regardless of whether the reservoir is a porous system or a fractured system, K... rw / K rg ~S w All are monotonically increasing and exhibit exponential function relationships, from which K can be obtained. rw / K rg ~S w The graph of the exponential function is shown below, and its expression is as follows:
[0204]
[0205] Where m and n are constants; S w This represents the water saturation level, a decimal.
[0206] Therefore, by combining Equations 4 and 9, the functional relationship between reservoir water saturation and water-gas ratio is derived as follows:
[0207]
[0208] Formula 4 can be used to determine a certain water-to-air ratio R. wg Corresponding K rw / K rg Then use K rw / K rg ~S w The corresponding water saturation S can be determined by the exponential function graph or formula 9. w Then, based on the determined water saturation S w Based on the gas-water two-phase interpenetration curve, the water saturation point S was determined. w The relative permeability of the gas phase K rg Relative permeability K of water phase rw In other words, for a given water-gas producing well, the water-gas ratio R... wg This allows us to determine the reservoir's water saturation, as well as the corresponding relative permeability values for the water phase and the gas phase.
[0209] By establishing the relationship between the water-gas ratio and the reservoir water saturation and the ratio of the relative permeability of the water and gas phases, the mine production data can be directly correlated with the flow state of groundwater, providing support for accurately determining the reservoir water intrusion stage.
[0210] In step S12, the specific method for determining the water invasion stage of the water-producing gas well is as follows:
[0211] In one embodiment, the water intrusion stage of the producing gas well is pre-defined based on the gas-water two-phase interpermeability curve obtained experimentally. In the pre-obtained reservoir gas-water two-phase interpermeability curve, the reservoir water saturation corresponding to preset relative permeability values of the gas phase and water phase is determined as the first critical water saturation and the second critical water saturation, respectively. For example, the preset relative permeability values of the gas phase and water phase are set to 0.1. These preset relative permeability values can be determined empirically, and this embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitations.
[0212] Based on the determined first critical water saturation, second critical water saturation, and the morphology of the gas-water two-phase interpenetration curve, the water-producing gas well is identified as having three water intrusion stages: the water phase retention period, the gas-water phase holding period, and the water flooding period. Within the water saturation range of the gas-water two-phase interpenetration curve, the water phase retention period corresponds to a saturation range where the water saturation is less than the first critical water saturation; the gas-water phase holding period corresponds to a saturation range where the water saturation is greater than the first critical water saturation but less than the second critical water saturation; and the water flooding period corresponds to a saturation range where the water saturation is greater than the second critical water saturation.
[0213] In one embodiment, if the water saturation of the reservoir where the water-producing gas well is located, as determined by step S11 above, is less than the first critical water saturation, it indicates that the water-producing gas well is in the water phase retention period; if the determined reservoir water saturation is greater than the first critical water saturation and less than the second critical water saturation, it indicates that the water-producing gas well is in the gas-water phase holding period; if the determined reservoir water saturation of the water-producing gas well is greater than the second critical water saturation, the water intrusion stage in which the water-producing gas well is located is the flooding period.
[0214] In one embodiment, after determining the water invasion stage of the producing gas well through the above steps, the water invasion characteristics of the producing gas well can be further identified based on the reservoir water saturation, relative permeability of the water phase, relative permeability of the gas phase, and the shape of the gas-water two-phase interpenetration curve. These water invasion characteristics can be described from aspects such as the accumulation area of intrusive water in the reservoir, its formation scale, flow state, and permeability variation trend.
[0215] During the aqueous phase retention period, the relative permeability of the gas phase decreases rapidly with increasing water saturation. However, since the aqueous phase does not form a large-scale continuous phase, its relative permeability is much lower than that of the gas phase. During the gas-water phase holding period, the difference in relative permeability between the two phases is small. With increasing water saturation, the aqueous phase forms a large-scale continuous phase, representing a process of gas loss and water growth. After entering the water flooding period, the relative permeability of the aqueous phase rises rapidly with increasing water saturation, while the relative permeability of the gas phase is much lower. The gas phase is locked by water and gradually loses its mobility, becoming a discontinuous phase. Targeting the different stages of water intrusion and their corresponding characteristics in the producing gas wells is more conducive to proposing reasonable water control technologies and strategies.
[0216] This invention provides a method for determining the degree of production capacity loss of a water-producing gas well, referring to... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0217] S21. Based on the binomial production capacity equation of gas wells and the production data of the mining field, determine the first formation coefficient value used to characterize the gas phase flow capacity of the reservoir under the influence of water invasion in water-producing gas wells.
[0218] S22. Determine the relative permeability of the gas phase in the water-producing gas well after water intrusion, and the relative permeability of the gas phase in the water-producing gas well before water intrusion; determine the second formation coefficient value used to characterize the gas phase flow capacity of the water-producing gas well in the reservoir before water intrusion.
[0219] S23. Determine the unobstructed flow rate of the water-producing gas well under the influence of water intrusion, and the unobstructed flow rate of the water-producing gas well before water intrusion.
[0220] S24. Determine the degree of production loss of the water-producing gas well after water intrusion.
[0221] In step S21 above, the first formation coefficient value of the water-producing gas well under the influence of water intrusion is determined by the following method. In one embodiment, when the gas well flow reaches a pseudo-steady flow state, the relationship between its pressure and production is written in the form of a binomial (pressure squared), as shown below:
[0222]
[0223] in:
[0224] Kh — the first formation coefficient value, mD.m;
[0225] p R —The reservoir pressure, in MPa;
[0226] p wf —The bottom hole flowing pressure, MPa;
[0227] q g —The daily gas production, 10 4 m3 / d;
[0228] —Average gas viscosity, taken The value of time, mPa·s;
[0229] —Gas average compressibility factor, taken as The value at time.
[0230] In formula 11 above, let:
[0231]
[0232]
[0233]
[0234]
[0235] The relationship between parameters A and A', and the relationship between parameters B and B' are as follows:
[0236]
[0237]
[0238] Substituting formulas 12 and 13 into formula 11, formula 11 becomes:
[0239]
[0240]
[0241] Formula 18 is a commonly used binomial productivity equation for gas wells, and Formula 19 is the foundation of the steady-point productivity binomial method. The process of determining the first formation coefficient value using Formula 19, based on daily mine production data, is as follows:
[0242] (1) r was determined by well pattern density, PVT data and interpretation of instability testing. e r w , The parameter values of S and D, and the method for determining these parameter values, have been described in the steps above for determining the water invasion stage of the producing gas well.
[0243] (2) Use formulas 14 and 15 to calculate parameters A' and B' respectively.
[0244] (3) The reservoir pressure p at the stable production point R Bottom-hole flowing pressure p wf and daily gas production q gSubstituting into Formula 19, we determine the first formation coefficient Kh, which characterizes the gas phase flow capacity of the reservoir under the influence of water intrusion in water-producing gas wells. The calculated value of the first formation coefficient Kh at this time represents the gas phase flow capacity of the reservoir after water intrusion for water-producing gas wells, because the actual reservoir contains two phases of gas and water, and the measured pressure and gas well production already include the influence of water intrusion.
[0245] In step S22, the second formation coefficient value of the water-producing gas well under the influence of water intrusion can be determined, for example, by the following method:
[0246] In one embodiment, assuming the initial water saturation of the reservoir is S wi The relative permeability of the gas phase (before water intrusion) is K. rgi That is, the starting value of the relative permeability of the gas phase, which is the reservoir water saturation S corresponding to a certain water-gas ratio after water production. wn The relative permeability of the gas phase below is K rgn Therefore, the degree of gas phase flow loss after water exposure in the reservoir is as follows:
[0247]
[0248] Where SH represents the loss of gas phase flow capacity in the reservoir (Kh). i This is the value of the second stratigraphic coefficient. K represents the loss of gas phase flow capacity in the reservoir. rgi K represents the original relative permeability of the gas phase in a water-producing gas well before water intrusion. rgn This represents the actual relative permeability of the gas phase in a water-producing gas well after water intrusion.
[0249] The first formation coefficient value Kh calculated in step S21 above, and the value determined in the aforementioned step of determining the water and gas stage of the water-producing well... Combining this with Formula 20, the second formation coefficient (Kh) can be calculated. i Second stratigraphic coefficient (Kh) i The calculation formula is as follows:
[0250]
[0251] First stratigraphic coefficient value (Kh) and second stratigraphic coefficient value (Kh) i , which represents the product of reservoir thickness h (in meters) and reservoir permeability K (in meters D), with units of mD.m.
[0252] In step S23, the main task is to determine the unobstructed flow rate of the water-producing gas well under the influence of water intrusion and before water intrusion.
[0253] For calculating the unobstructed flow rate of a water-producing gas well under the influence of water intrusion, in one embodiment, the unobstructed flow rate of the gas well is the bottom hole flowing pressure p.wf Given the gas production rate of a gas well at 1 atmosphere (0.101 MPa), based on formula 18 in step S21 above, the gas production rate of a water-producing gas well under the influence of water intrusion, i.e., the unobstructed flow rate Q, is derived. AOF The formula is:
[0254]
[0255] By substituting the parameter values A' and B' determined in step S21 above, and the first formation coefficient value Kh, into formulas 16 and 17, parameter values A and B are calculated. Then, the obtained A and B values are substituted into formula 22 above to calculate the unobstructed flow rate of the water-producing gas well under the influence of water intrusion. In this embodiment of the invention, the unobstructed flow rate Q is calculated at this time. AOF For water-producing gas wells, the value represents the gas well's production capacity after water intrusion, because the actual reservoir consists of two phases of gas and water, and the measured pressure and gas well production already include the impact of water intrusion.
[0256] For calculating the unobstructed flow rate of a water-producing gas well before water intrusion, in one embodiment, the second formation coefficient value (Kh) determined in step S22 above is used. i Substituting the second formation coefficient value into Formulas 16 and 17, the coefficient A of the binomial productivity equation for the water-producing gas well before water invasion is determined. i and B i According to coefficient A i and B i Using Formula 22 (that is, replacing the coefficients A and B in Formula 22 with A) i and B i The unobstructed flow rate Q of the water-producing gas well before water intrusion was calculated. AOFi .
[0257] In step S24 above, in one embodiment, the degree of gas well productivity loss due to water intrusion can be calculated, for example, according to the following formula:
[0258]
[0259] Where F represents the degree of capacity loss.
[0260] In this embodiment of the invention, the calculation process for determining the loss of gas well productivity (unobstructed flow rate) caused by water intrusion is simple and does not involve complex gas-water two-phase pseudo-pressure integral calculations, which is convenient for engineering applications.
[0261] The following example, using a water-producing gas well in a deep Permian carbonate gas reservoir in a basin, illustrates the process of determining the water intrusion stage of the well and the loss of production capacity.
[0262] The parameters for the reservoir temperature system, gas properties, and formation water properties of this well are as follows:
[0263] Reservoir burial depth: 5165m;
[0264] Original formation pressure: 138.61 MPa;
[0265] Reservoir temperature: 138.6℃;
[0266] Relative density of natural gas: 0.612;

[0268] Formation water specific gravity: 1.08;
[0269] Formation water salinity: 150,000 mg / L.
[0270] Based on formation temperature, pressure, and fluid properties, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the formation water volume factor B was calculated respectively. w Trend diagram of formation pressure p () Figure 3 ), formation water viscosity μ w Trend diagram of formation pressure p () Figure 4 ), and the trend of gas pseudo-pressure ψ with formation pressure p () Figure 5 ).from Figure 5 As can be seen from the figure, when the formation pressure p > 15 MPa, it is the high-pressure stage, and at this time, ψ ~ p shows a linear trend, as shown in the figure. When the formation pressure p ≤ 15 MPa, it is the low-pressure stage, and the relationship between ψ and p is not linear. The relationship can be determined based on the reservoir pressure p. R Bottom-hole flowing pressure p wf Determine ψ by referring to a diagram or table. R ψ wf .
[0271] The well was put into production on July 3rd of a certain year, and formation water was produced immediately upon commissioning. Its production curve is referenced... Figure 6 As shown, a production capacity evaluation of the well will be conducted in October of the following year, and the water invasion stage of the well will be determined. Static pressure data are taken from the static pressure test data of the well shut-in in September of the following year. The relevant data on daily gas and water production, reservoir pressure and bottom hole flowing pressure are taken from the data on October 16, shortly after the well shut-in. The specific values are shown in Table 1.

[0273]
[0274] Using formulas 14 and 15, calculate the values of parameters A' and B'. The values of each parameter in formulas 14 and 15 are as follows:
[0275] S = -3, D = 0.05(10 4 m 3 / d) -1 r e =2200m, r w =0.10m, (according to
[0276] Gas property calculation (The corresponding value at that time) (Calculated based on gas properties) (The value corresponding to the time).
[0277] Substituting the calculated parameter values into formulas 14 and 15, we obtain A' = 2813.56 and B' = 22.51. Substituting the values of A' and B' into formula 19, we get:
[0278]
[0279] Substituting the data from Table 1 into Formula 24, the first formation coefficient value Kh = 152.6 mD.m is calculated.
[0280] Substituting the obtained values of A', B', and Kh into formulas 16 and 17, we calculate A = 18.44 and B = 0.1476. Substituting the values of A and B into formula 18, we obtain the binomial productivity equation for this well:
[0281]
[0282] Using formula 22, the unobstructed flow rate of the well is calculated to be Q. AOF =265.1×10 4 m 3 / d.
[0283] The first formation coefficient value Kh calculated above represents the gas phase flow capacity in the reservoir after the water-producing gas well is affected by water intrusion, and the calculated unobstructed flow rate Q AOF This represents the gas phase production capacity of the water-producing gas well after it has been affected by water intrusion.
[0284] For wells that are not affected by water intrusion, the trend of gas pseudo-pressure ψ versus formation pressure p is shown in the diagram (refer to...). Figure 5 Using formula 8, the parameter a = 2864 was calculated. (Refer to...) Figure 3 and Figure 4 ,calculate B corresponding to time w =1.029, μ w= 0.316 mPa·s.
[0285] Through experiments, the gas-water two-phase interfacial permeability curve of the reservoir where the well is located was obtained as a porous system (refer to...). Figure 7 Furthermore, the relative permeability ratio K between the water and air phases was obtained. rw / K rg With reservoir water saturation S w The change curve, refer to Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 Zhong K rw / K rg With S w The relationship between them is exponential.
[0286] In addition, embodiments of the present invention also provide gas-water two-phase interpermeability curves when the reservoir is a fractured system, with reference to... Figure 9 As shown, and the corresponding K when the reservoir is a fractured system. rw / K rg ~S w The change curve, refer to Figure 10 As shown. The inventors discovered that regardless of whether the reservoir is a porous system or a fractured system, K rw / K rg ~S w All exhibit an exponential function relationship, and the corresponding exponential function expressions are shown below. Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown in the image.
[0287] In this embodiment of the invention, the reservoir where the well is located is a porous system, which must be utilized Figure 8 The water saturation of a reservoir is determined by the relationship between the relative permeability ratio of the water and gas phases in a porous system and the reservoir's water saturation. Figure 8 Determined K rw / K rg With S w The exponential function relationship between them (i.e., determining the constants m and n in Formula 9), and then determining the reservoir water saturation according to Formula 10, or calculating K first using Formula 4 based on the data in Table 1. rw / K rg =0.216, reuse Figure 8 The water saturation of the reservoir was determined, and the determined water saturation S of the reservoir was determined. w =0.476. Based on the obtained S... w Value, using Figure 7 Determine the actual relative permeability K of the gas phase in the water-producing gas well after water intrusion. rgn =0.105. From Figure 7 From this, we can know that the original gas phase relative permeability K before water intrusion was... rgi =0.6, from which we can determine K rgn / Krgi =0.175, combined with the first stratigraphic coefficient value Kh = 152.6 mD.m, and then according to formula 21, the second stratigraphic coefficient value (Kh) before water intrusion is calculated. i =872mD.m.
[0288] The obtained (Kh) i Substituting these values into Equations 16 and 17, we determine the coefficient A of the binomial productivity equation under the condition of no water intrusion. i =3.2266, B i =0.0258, which will yield A i and B i Substituting into Formula 22, the unobstructed flow rate Q of the water-producing gas well without water intrusion is calculated. AOFi =708.9×10 4 m 3 / d.
[0289] Formula 23 was used to calculate that the loss of unobstructed flow rate in the well due to water intrusion was 62.6%. The above calculation process solves the problem of overly cumbersome calculation processes in existing technologies, which is conducive to promotion and application.
[0290] The above calculations establish the second formation coefficient (Kh) for this water-producing gas well under conditions where it was not affected by water intrusion. i and unobstructed flow rate Q AOFi During the process, the water intrusion stage of the producing gas well can be determined. Based on the gas-water two-phase interpermeability curves obtained from the experiment, and the preset relative permeability values of the gas phase (0.1) and water phase (0.1), the water intrusion process is divided into three stages: the water phase retention period, the gas-water phase holding period, and the water flooding period. Figure 11 As shown in the figure, the first critical water saturation value is 0.48, and the second critical water saturation value is 0.61. Since the water saturation value of the reservoir where the well is located (0.476) is less than the first critical water saturation value (0.48), it indicates that the well is currently in the water intrusion stage, which is the water phase retention period. At this time, the water phase permeability is very low, and the relative permeability of the water phase is much lower than that of the gas phase. The intruding water mainly accumulates on the pore throat wall and has not yet formed a large-scale continuous phase, but it has already caused a significant decrease in gas phase permeability. Next, the water phase will enter the gas-water phase retention period. As the water saturation increases, the water phase forms a large-scale continuous phase. After entering the water flooding period, as the water saturation increases, the relative permeability of the water phase rises rapidly, and the gas phase is locked by water, gradually losing its mobility and becoming a discontinuous phase.
[0291] Based on the above analysis, the following technical countermeasures are recommended for this water-producing gas well: 1. Reduce the gas well production near the gas-water interface to alleviate the damage to the gas phase flow capacity caused by the water phase retention due to the intrusion of formation water into the gas reservoir; 2. Considering that the well is about to enter a large-scale water production period, it is necessary to consider increasing the formation water treatment capacity and the water-bearing production capacity of the gas well.
