Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mine production capacity simulation technology, and in particular to an electrical simulation method, apparatus, equipment and storage medium for oil and gas well seepage patterns. Background Technology
[0002] In oil and gas field development, analyzing reservoir fluid flow behavior and development effectiveness is crucial for enhancing oil recovery. Current mainstream technologies rely on numerical simulation, using mathematical models to predict fluid migration patterns.
[0003] However, this method is limited by factors such as reservoir heterogeneity, fluid type, and development approach. Its accuracy drops significantly under complex seepage conditions (such as fractured zones or abrupt permeability changes), making it difficult to accurately reflect the dynamic seepage characteristics of the near-wellbore zone. In particular, for heterogeneous formations, the simplification assumptions of the mathematical model lead to large deviations between simulation results and reality, limiting the optimization effect of development schemes.
[0004] To compensate for the limitations of numerical simulation, electrical simulation experiments have been introduced due to their simple structure and low cost. Traditional methods use copper sulfate solutions to simulate formations and analyze steady-state productivity by leveraging the similarity between current distribution and seepage patterns. However, this method has a fundamental limitation: it is only applicable to homogeneous formations. This is because the solution has uniform conductivity and cannot simulate sweet spots or low-permeability zones with varying permeability. Furthermore, the electrolyte solution is prone to diffusion, leading to conductivity drift, and the conductivity does not match the reservoir mobility well, affecting the reliability of the parameters.
[0005] To address the shortcomings of traditional methods, there is an urgent need for a novel physical simulation method that can accurately characterize heterogeneous seepage, support dynamic analysis, and improve experimental stability. Summary of the Invention

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

[0032] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. 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.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an electrical simulation method for oil and gas well seepage patterns according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to high-precision seepage pattern simulation of heterogeneous formations. The method can be executed by an electrical simulation device for oil and gas well seepage patterns, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0034] S101. Obtain the first logging parameters corresponding to the first oil and gas well to be simulated, and determine the permeability distribution information corresponding to the horizontal well section in the first oil and gas well based on the first logging parameters.
[0035] Here, "first oil and gas well" can refer to the oil and gas well to be subjected to electrical simulation. "First logging parameters" can refer to the logging parameters of the first oil and gas well. "Permeability parameters" can refer to the permeability information of the horizontal well section of the first oil and gas well at various locations. For example, the permeability distribution information includes the regional permeability corresponding to each formation sweet spot in the horizontal well section.
[0036] Specifically, during the production process of the first oil and gas well, the first logging parameters of the first oil and gas well are obtained. Based on the first logging parameters, the permeability of the horizontal section of the first oil and gas well is analyzed, thereby obtaining the permeability distribution information corresponding to the horizontal section of the first oil and gas well.
[0037] For example, determining the permeability distribution information corresponding to the horizontal well section in the first oil and gas well based on the first logging parameters includes: determining the formation sweet spot distribution information of the horizontal well section in the first oil and gas well based on the first logging parameters; for each formation sweet spot, performing a weighted average of the permeability of each sub-segment within the formation sweet spot to obtain the regional permeability of the formation sweet spot; and determining the permeability distribution information corresponding to the horizontal well section in the first oil and gas well based on the regional order, regional length, and regional permeability of each formation sweet spot.
[0038] Specifically, based on the first logging parameters, the distribution of heterogeneous formations in the first oil and gas well is analyzed to determine the specific distribution of formation sweet spots in the horizontal well section. Then, for each formation sweet spot, a weighted average permeability is calculated based on the permeability of each sub-segment within the sweet spot, and this is used as the regional permeability of the formation sweet spot. Finally, based on the regional sequence, length, and permeability corresponding to each formation sweet spot, the permeability distribution information corresponding to the horizontal well section in the first oil and gas well is determined.
[0039] Table 1 is a table showing the distribution of simulated well properties along the borehole provided in this embodiment of the invention. As shown in Table 1, the sweet spot type is different at different locations in the horizontal well section, and the permeability of different areas is also different. The horizontal well section of this first oil and gas well is located in a heterogeneous formation.
[0040]
[0041] Table 1
[0042] S102. Based on the permeability distribution information and each first similarity coefficient, a hydroelectric simulation component for constructing a hydroelectric simulation device is made, and the hydroelectric simulation component is assembled to obtain a hydroelectric simulation device.
[0043] The first similarity coefficient can refer to the mapping ratio between some reservoir parameters and some hydroelectric simulation parameters of the first oil and gas well. The first similarity coefficient is mainly used to convert the reservoir parameters of the first oil and gas well into hydroelectric simulation parameters.
[0044] For example, the hydroelectric simulation component includes at least a copper wire component, a gel component with different conductivity levels, and a copper strip component. The gel component is composed of copper sulfate (CuSO4) gel, and the conductivity of the gel component is varied by adjusting the concentration of the added copper sulfate solution. It should be noted that the gel components with different conductivity levels are used to simulate the different permeabilities at various locations in the horizontal section of the first oil and gas well. The copper wire component is used to simulate the production well, and the copper strip simulates the supply boundary (e.g., the injection well or outer boundary). The gel components can create a clear contrast in seepage through different concentrations, viscosities, and colors, facilitating the visual analysis of permeability differences in heterogeneous formations.
[0045] Specifically, the permeability distribution information is mapped to various first similarity coefficients to determine the geometric information of the required copper wire and copper strip components, as well as the gel components with different conductivity levels. The obtained components are then assembled according to preset rules to obtain a hydroelectric simulation device.
[0046] It should be noted that, in the technical solutions of the embodiments of the invention, the similarity coefficient includes a first similarity coefficient and a second similarity coefficient. The first similarity coefficient includes a flow similarity coefficient and a geometric similarity coefficient; the second similarity coefficient includes a pressure similarity coefficient, a resistance similarity coefficient, and a flow rate similarity coefficient.
[0047] The similarity coefficient is determined by the proportional relationship between the current, voltage, and their distribution in the electric field and the flow rate, pressure, and their distribution in the steady seepage field. Table 2 shows the similarity coefficients for the hydroelectric simulation experiment provided in this embodiment of the invention. The similarity coefficients are shown in Table 2.
[0048]
[0049] Table 2
[0050] Among them, C L It refers to the geometric similarity coefficient, L m This refers to the length of the copper wire, L. r This refers to the length of the horizontal segment; C p This refers to the pressure similarity coefficient, (ΔU). m This refers to voltage (ΔP). r This refers to the differential pressure parameter; C r This refers to the drag similarity coefficient, R. m It refers to resistance, (R) f ) r This refers to seepage resistance; C q It refers to the flow similarity coefficient, I m It refers to the current, Q r This refers to gas production; C ρ This refers to the flow similarity coefficient, ρ mThis refers to electrical conductivity (k / μ). r It refers to penetration rate.
[0051] In other words, calculating and determining the similarity coefficients based on actual production data and experimental model parameters can provide a parameter basis for further determining other model parameters.
[0052] For example, the step of fabricating a hydroelectric simulation component for constructing a hydroelectric simulation device based on the permeability distribution information and each first similarity coefficient includes: for each formation sweet spot, determining the length of the copper wire component corresponding to each formation sweet spot in the simulated production well based on the regional length of the formation sweet spot and the geometric similarity coefficient; determining the length information of the copper strip component corresponding to the simulated supply boundary based on the copper wire component length information; and for each formation sweet spot, determining the copper sulfate solution concentration corresponding to the gel component used to simulate the permeability of the formation sweet spot based on the regional permeability of the formation sweet spot and the flow similarity coefficient.
[0053] The conductivity of the gel component is used to simulate the permeability of the sweet spot zones in each stratum.
[0054] Specifically, for each formation sweet spot, the length of the copper wire assembly corresponding to each formation sweet spot in the simulated production well is determined based on the product of the region length of the formation sweet spot and the geometric similarity coefficient. This allows for the determination of the total length of the copper wire assembly corresponding to the horizontal section of the first oil and gas well. As shown in Table 1, after determining the region length of each formation sweet spot, the length of the copper wire assembly corresponding to each formation sweet spot is calculated based on the geometric similarity coefficient.
[0055] Furthermore, based on the total length information of the copper wire assembly, the length information of the copper strip assembly corresponding to the simulated supply boundary is determined. When the width of the supply boundary needs to be slightly larger than the total length of the copper wire assembly, and given the shape of the supply boundary, the length information of the copper strip assembly can be determined.
[0056] Based on the regional permeability of the sweet spot regions in each stratum and the flow similarity coefficient, the required copper sulfate solution concentration for simulating permeability is calculated. In other words, copper sulfate gels with different conductivity levels are prepared to simulate the permeability of the sweet spot regions, thereby obtaining the gel components. As shown in Table 1, the required conductivity of the gel components can be determined based on the permeability and flow similarity coefficient, and the copper sulfate solution concentration can then be configured accordingly.
[0057] For example, assembling the hydroelectric simulation components to obtain a hydroelectric simulation device includes:
[0058] The copper strip assembly is fixed around the inner side of the electrolytic cell to form a rectangular storage space, which is used to simulate the water injection supply boundary of the first oil and gas well.
[0059] The copper wire assembly is laid horizontally at the bottom center of the rectangular storage space to simulate the production well of the first oil and gas well.
[0060] Gel components corresponding to various copper sulfate solution concentrations were filled into the rectangular storage space according to the formation properties to simulate the permeability of the first oil and gas well.
[0061] In this invention, the electrolytic cell is a square plexiglass container with a length, width, and height of 50cm, 50cm, and 15cm, respectively. A thin copper strip is placed inside to simulate various (circular, square, and linear) supply boundaries. Because the CuSO4 gel has a uniform and linear resistivity, does not chemically react with the electrodes, and its properties do not change after energization, and can be combined and assembled according to different data, an appropriate concentration of CuSO4 gel is used to simulate the gas layer, the electrolytic cell to simulate the closed boundary, the copper strip to simulate the supply boundary, and copper wire to simulate the gas well casing.
[0062] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of gel distribution provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a physical diagram of the hydroelectric simulation device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, copper strip assemblies are arranged around the inner side of the electrolytic cell to form a rectangular storage space, which is used to simulate the water injection supply boundary of the first oil and gas well. Copper wire assembly 7 is arranged horizontally at the bottom center of the rectangular storage space to simulate the production well of the first oil and gas well. Gel assemblies 1-6 containing different concentrations of copper sulfate solution are filled into the rectangular storage space according to the path properties distribution along the horizontal well, to simulate the permeability at different locations of the first oil and gas well.
[0063] For example, filling the rectangular storage space with gel components corresponding to various copper sulfate solution concentrations according to the formation properties includes:
[0064] For each sweet spot region of the formation, a target gel component corresponding to the regional permeability of the sweet spot region is determined, and a target copper wire region corresponding to the regional length of the sweet spot region is determined in the copper wire component; the target gel component is arranged in the target copper wire region, so as to fill the rectangular storage space with gel components corresponding to each copper sulfate solution concentration according to the formation properties.
[0065] Specifically, based on the regional permeability of each formation sweet spot, the target gel component corresponding to that formation sweet spot is determined. Simultaneously, based on the regional length of each formation sweet spot, the target copper wire region corresponding to that formation sweet spot is determined. The target gel components are then deployed within the target copper wire regions, thereby filling the rectangular storage space with gel components corresponding to various copper sulfate solution concentrations according to the formation properties.
[0066] S103. Conduct an electrical simulation experiment using the hydroelectric simulation device to obtain hydroelectric simulation parameters, and determine the seepage law of the first oil and gas well based on the hydroelectric simulation parameters and each second similarity coefficient.
[0067] For example, the hydroelectric simulation parameters may include voltage parameters, current parameters, and resistance parameters. Each second similarity coefficient also refers to the mapping ratio between some reservoir parameters and some hydroelectric simulation parameters of the first oil and gas well. The difference between the second and first similarity coefficients lies in the types of similarity coefficients they contain. The second similarity coefficients are mainly used to convert the hydroelectric simulation parameters into reservoir parameters of the first oil and gas well.
[0068] An external power supply is applied to a hydroelectric simulation device to generate a potential difference, thereby simulating permeability at different locations. Electrical simulation experiments are conducted on the hydroelectric simulation device, and voltage parameters at different locations and overall current parameters are measured to obtain hydroelectric simulation parameters. These parameters are then mapped inversely to various second similarity coefficients to obtain the reservoir parameters of the first oil and gas well. Based on these reservoir parameters, the seepage characteristics of the first oil and gas well can be analyzed.
[0069] For example, the step of conducting an electrical simulation experiment using the hydroelectric simulation device to obtain hydroelectric simulation parameters includes: connecting one end of the copper wire assembly in the hydroelectric simulation device to the negative terminal of a preset power supply, and connecting the copper strip assembly in the hydroelectric simulation device to the positive terminal of the preset power supply; connecting the positive terminal of a voltage measuring device to the other end of the copper wire assembly, and connecting the negative terminal of the voltage measuring device to a sliding measuring point, wherein the sliding measuring point slides on the copper wire assembly; connecting one end of a current measuring device to the copper strip assembly in the hydroelectric simulation device, and connecting the other end of the current measuring device to the positive terminal of the preset power supply; determining a first voltage parameter at each position of the copper wire assembly using the voltage measuring device, and determining a first current parameter of the hydroelectric simulation device using the current measuring device.
[0070] Figure 4 This is a circuit diagram for measuring seepage patterns provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 A circuit diagram for measuring production capacity patterns provided in an embodiment of the present invention. (See diagram below.) Figure 4 As shown, one end (left side) of the copper wire assembly 10 in the hydroelectric simulation device is connected to the negative terminal of the preset power supply 8, and any point of the copper strip assembly 9 is connected to the positive terminal of the preset power supply 8. The positive terminal of the voltage measuring device 12 is connected to the other end (right side) of the copper wire assembly 10, and the negative terminal of the voltage measuring device 12 is connected to the sliding measuring point 11 on the copper wire assembly 10 to measure the voltage information at different positions of the copper wire assembly 10.
[0071] like Figure 5 As shown, one end of the current measuring device 13 is connected to the copper strip assembly 9 in the hydroelectric simulation device, and the other end of the current measuring device 13 is connected to the positive terminal of the preset power supply 8.
[0072] The voltage parameter at different locations of the copper wire assembly was measured using a voltage measuring device, and the current parameter of the hydroelectric simulation device was measured using a current measuring device.
[0073] For example, each of the second similarity coefficients includes a pressure similarity coefficient, a resistance similarity coefficient, and a flow rate similarity coefficient; determining the seepage pattern of the first oil and gas well based on the hydroelectric simulation parameters and each of the second similarity coefficients includes: determining the pressure parameters of the first oil and gas well based on the first voltage parameters and the pressure similarity coefficient; determining the gas production parameters of the first oil and gas well based on the first current parameters and the flow rate similarity coefficient; determining the first resistance parameters based on the first voltage parameters and the first current parameters, and determining the seepage resistance of each horizontal section of the first oil and gas well based on the first resistance parameters and the resistance similarity coefficient; and analyzing and determining the seepage pattern of the first oil and gas well based on the pressure parameters, the seepage resistance, and the gas production parameters.
[0074] Specifically, the product of the first voltage parameter and the pressure similarity coefficient is determined as the pressure parameter of the first oil and gas well. The product of the first current parameter and the flow rate similarity coefficient is determined as the gas production parameter of the first oil and gas well. The quotient of the first voltage parameter and the first current parameter is used to determine the first resistance parameter, and the product of the first resistance parameter and the resistance similarity coefficient is determined as the seepage resistance of each horizontal section of the first oil and gas well. Furthermore, based on the pressure parameter, seepage resistance, and gas production parameter, the seepage pattern of the first oil and gas well is further analyzed and determined.
[0075] It should be noted that the present invention can also directly determine the seepage pattern of the first oil and gas well based on the hydroelectric simulation parameters.

Figure 6 (a) in the figure represents the seepage law in a traditional simulation experiment. Figure 6 (b) in the figure is an experimental diagram of the hydroelectric simulation seepage law provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown in (b) of the present invention, the hydroelectric simulation method provided in this embodiment can clearly simulate the near-well seepage characteristics under heterogeneous strata, making the experimental results more consistent with the actual situation.
[0076] The technical solution of this invention involves acquiring first logging parameters corresponding to a first oil and gas well to be simulated, and determining permeability distribution information corresponding to the horizontal section of the first oil and gas well based on the first logging parameters. The permeability distribution information includes the regional permeability corresponding to sweet spots in each formation within the horizontal section. Based on the permeability distribution information and each first similarity coefficient, a hydroelectric simulation component for constructing a hydroelectric simulation device is fabricated, and the hydroelectric simulation component is assembled to obtain a hydroelectric simulation device. The hydroelectric simulation component includes at least a copper wire component, a gel component with different conductivity, and a copper strip component. An electrical simulation experiment is conducted using the hydroelectric simulation device to obtain hydroelectric simulation parameters, and the seepage law of the first oil and gas well is determined based on the hydroelectric simulation parameters and each second similarity coefficient. This invention is based on the principle of similarity between electric field and seepage field, utilizing the conductivity of different gel components to simulate the permeability of different geological regions, achieving the purpose of simulating heterogeneous permeability differences, realizing high-precision simulation of heterogeneous formations, and thus achieving precise analysis of the seepage law of heterogeneous formations in the near-wellbore zone of oil and gas wells.
