Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of petroleum extraction technology, specifically to a method for calculating the equivalent permeability of conglomerate reservoirs based on seepage space transformation. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of oil and gas field development, especially when exploiting conglomerate reservoirs with complex pore structures, rock permeability, as a key parameter, exhibits significant anisotropy. This anisotropy is mainly caused by two factors: first, sedimentary anisotropy formed by sedimentation, where the non-uniformity of the spatial distribution and arrangement of gravel particles leads to differences in permeability in different directions; second, fracture anisotropy caused by fracture activity, where some conglomerate reservoirs have natural fracture networks that further enhance the directionality of reservoir permeability.
[0003] In specific cases of tight conglomerate reservoirs, the complex pore structure includes bimodal and multimodal morphologies, and the rock grains vary in shape. The gravels are also filled with sand and a certain proportion of mud. These factors collectively contribute to the strong heterogeneity and anisotropy of conglomerate reservoirs. Particularly noteworthy is the more pronounced anisotropy of permeability when the gravels are elliptical and their long axes are not aligned, or when a fracture system is present.
[0004] Currently, in the research on horizontal well fracturing and production enhancement, the influence of permeability anisotropy on the pressure field and seepage field is not sufficiently studied. Most existing methods only use simplified models to estimate the equivalent permeability. Although they can reflect the influence of permeability on seepage law to a certain extent, they are insufficient in terms of accuracy and comprehensiveness and cannot accurately describe the influence of permeability anisotropy on the actual seepage path. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for calculating the equivalent permeability of conglomerate reservoirs based on seepage space transformation. The core technical problem to be solved is: how to establish an accurate method for calculating the equivalent permeability of anisotropic conglomerate reservoirs, taking into account dual-mode and multi-mode pore structures and fracture distribution, so as to improve the accuracy of scheme design and production capacity prediction, and effectively guide the efficient development of such reservoirs.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for calculating the equivalent permeability of conglomerate reservoirs based on seepage space transformation includes the following steps:
[0008] S1: Establish an equivalent permeability calculation model for conglomerate reservoirs with complex pore structures: Based on the shape and arrangement of gravel particles, construct an equivalent permeability calculation model under complex pore structures, and clarify the direction, length and spacing of fractures;
[0009] S2: Quantitative parameter calculation: Based on the above model, calculate the content of each particle size component (gravel, sand, mud) in the conglomerate reservoir. Based on these contents and the average particle diameter, solve the effective porosity of the conglomerate matrix according to the different cases of dual mode (sand, mud) and complex mode (gravel, sand, mud).
[0010] S3: Permeability determination: Using the grain size composition and effective porosity obtained in S2, the permeability of the conglomerate matrix and the permeability of the fracture unit are further calculated. Based on the principle that the same characteristic unit has the same equivalent permeability, the average aperture of the fracture in the unit containing the fracture is obtained.
[0011] S4: Application of the seepage space transformation method: Transforms complex anisotropic seepage problems into Laplace equations for solving, enabling simulation of actual seepage paths and patterns;
[0012] S5: Software Development and Verification: Based on the methods in S1-S4, develop a computational module and verify the effectiveness and practicality of the computational model by comparing it with the physical simulation results and performing error analysis.
[0013] Furthermore: In step S1, the shape and arrangement of the gravel particles are divided into three cases, and their corresponding crack directions, lengths, and spacings are as follows:
[0014] Case 1: The gravel particles are mainly round, the direction of the cracks is parallel to the direction of the maximum horizontal principal stress, the length of a single crack is the average diameter of the gravel, and the crack spacing is the average diameter of the gravel.
[0015] Scenario 2: The gravel particles are mainly elliptical, the cracks extend parallel to the major axis of the ellipse, the length of a single crack is the average major axis length of the gravel, and the crack spacing is the average minor axis length of the gravel.
[0016] Scenario 3: If the gravel particles are mainly elliptical, then the direction of the crack extension is parallel to the major axis of the ellipse, the length of a single crack is the average major axis length of the gravel, and the crack spacing is the average minor axis length of the gravel.
[0017] Furthermore: In S2, the effective porosity of the conglomerate matrix is calculated as follows:
[0018] For dual-mode (sand, mud): Φ d =Φ s -f m ;

[0038]
[0039] In the formula: b1 is the average aperture of the i-th group of cracks, in mm;
[0040] d1 represents the average crack spacing of the i-th group of cracks, in mm.
[0041] To achieve the same permeability for all cells and the same aperture for each individual fracture, then:
[0042] K 非均质单元 =K 裂缝单元
[0043] Assuming the aperture of each crack is b, solving the above equations yields:

[0139] The following specific embodiment of the present invention is provided to demonstrate the beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0140] The shape and percentage content of gravel, sandstone, and mudstone particles in the selected characteristic unit cells were statistically analyzed, and the porosity calculation model of complex modal (gravel, sand, mudstone) rock blocks was used: Φ e =Φ s -(1-Φ s )f s -f m The effective porosity of this feature unit was calculated to be 8%.
[0141] Based on the calculation of effective porosity and combined with the average particle size of various types of particles, the permeability calculation formula for heterogeneous units is applied.
[0142]
[0143] The calculated permeability of the heterogeneous unit is 0.69 μm. 2 Based on the principle that the equivalent permeability of the same characteristic unit is equal, it can be known that the equivalent permeability of the characteristic unit containing the crack is also 0.69 μm. 2 .
[0144] The physical simulation model is a square with a side length of 200mm on the plane, therefore W / L = 1, k y =0.4μm 2 Here, β takes the value of 0°.
[0145] Assume k x =1.18μm 2 We can obtain W' / L' and γ as 0.5822 and 0.1032, respectively; then, given different values of m, when the calculated result of W' / L' for a certain value of m is different from that of a given k... x When the calculation results are the same, a fixed value of m is chosen, and then the value of m is substituted into K(m) (a complete elliptic integral of the first kind with parameter m) and K'(m) (a complete elliptic integral of the first kind with parameter (1-m)) respectively, to obtain their values, and then substituted into the equation.
[0146]
[0147] The flow rate data can be calculated. Comparing this flow rate data with the flow rate obtained from experimental tests under the same conditions, if the error is within an acceptable range, k can be considered acceptable. x The chosen value is reasonable. Therefore, the equivalent permeability of the fractured element in the direction parallel to the fracture can be determined as k. x Therefore, the fracture permeability k can be obtained. f These parameters can be used to calculate the permeability values of isotropic and anisotropic seepage spaces, respectively.
[0148] The calculation results for the anisotropic seepage space are shown in Table 1. The mean pressure and pressure gradient are the boundary conditions used in experimental testing and permeability calculation, k xexp k is the permeability value obtained from experimental testing. xcal The permeability value calculated using the calculation model established in this patent has an error of: (experimental test value (k)) xexp )-(Calculated value (k) xcal )) / Experimental test value (k) xexp The calculation results show that the permeability k obtained from the experimental test data is calculated as follows: (1) × 100%. xexp k calculated using the semi-analytical model established using this patent xcal The high degree of agreement and small error indicate that the above calculation method is accurate and reasonable.
