[0002] Years of reservoir development have led to more complex distributions of remaining oil and flow fields. Accurately identifying the dominant flow field factors and determining the injection-production response relationship are fundamental to achieving efficient flow field control and improving oil recovery. Furthermore, dynamic connectivity between wells can reflect dominant seepage channels and provide effective support for describing remaining oil distribution and for profile control and water shut-off.
[0003] Currently, dynamic connectivity between wells is typically determined using well test analysis, tracers, and numerical simulation methods. However, well test analysis and tracers can disrupt normal production and are costly, while numerical simulation methods are difficult to establish accurate models due to the numerous influencing factors and complex seepage patterns in actual reservoirs. Consequently, existing methods for determining dynamic connectivity between wells mainly focus on vertical wells, directional wells, and horizontal wells as a whole, making it difficult to effectively and quantitatively characterize the segmental connectivity between horizontal wells.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for quantitatively characterizing the segmental connectivity of horizontal wells according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where the segmental connectivity between horizontal injection wells and horizontal production wells in an oil reservoir is quantitatively standardized. The method can be executed by a device for quantitatively characterizing the segmental connectivity of horizontal wells. This device can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device that implements the quantitative characterization method for segmental connectivity of horizontal wells. Figure 1 As shown, the quantitative characterization method for the segmental connectivity of this horizontal well includes:
[0031] S101. Collect the target water injection rate of the target horizontal water injection well and the target fluid production rate of the target horizontal production well in the reservoir. The target water injection rate includes the water injection rate at each time step within the preset period. The target fluid production rate is the fluid production rate at the next time step after the preset period. The target horizontal water injection well includes multiple water injection sections, and the target horizontal production well includes multiple production sections.
[0032] In this context, a horizontal water injection well can refer to an injection well whose wellbore extends into the reservoir at a target angle to inject water into the reservoir. The target angle is less than a preset angle with respect to the horizontal plane. For example, the preset angle could be 15°. The water injection rate can refer to the volume or mass of water injected into the reservoir per unit time. The water injection section can refer to the section of the wellbore in which water is injected into the reservoir. The preset period can include multiple consecutive time steps. The time step can be one of days, months, or years. For example, when the time step is days, the target water injection rate can include the water injection rate per day over 30 days.
[0033] A horizontal production well refers to a production well that extends into the reservoir at a target angle to extract oil and gas. Production rate refers to the total amount of oil and gas extracted from the reservoir per unit time. A production section refers to the section of the production wellbore from which oil and gas are extracted from the reservoir.
[0034] Specifically, the target water injection rate of the target horizontal water injection well can be obtained by collecting dynamic water injection data from the reservoir. Similarly, the target production rate of the target horizontal production well under the influence of the target water injection rate can be obtained by collecting dynamic production data from the reservoir.
[0035] Optionally, the multiple injection sections of the target horizontal water injection well are determined based on the completion information of the target horizontal water injection well; the multiple production sections of the target horizontal production well are determined based on the completion information of the target horizontal production well.
[0036] S102. Determine the target parameters, which include: the splitting coefficient of each water injection section, the splitting coefficient of each production section, and the target connectivity coefficient; the target connectivity coefficient includes the connectivity coefficient between each water injection section and each production section.
[0037] The water injection segment's splitting coefficient indicates the proportion of the water injection rate in the water injection segment relative to the total water injection rate of the target horizontal well. The production segment's splitting coefficient indicates the proportion of the production rate in the production rate of the target production well. The connectivity coefficient between the water injection and production segments quantifies the ease with which injected water flows from the water injection segment to the production segment.
[0038] S103. Calculate the predicted production rate of the target horizontal production well at the next time step after a preset period based on the target water injection rate and target parameters.
[0039] Specifically, the effective water injection rate of the target horizontal injection well at one time step can be determined based on the target water injection rate. Based on the effective water injection rate and the segmentation coefficient of each injection segment, the water injection rate of each injection segment can be calculated. Based on the water injection rate of each injection segment and the connectivity coefficient between each injection segment and a production segment, the production rate of that production segment can be calculated. Furthermore, based on the production rate of each production segment and the segmentation coefficient of each production segment, the predicted production rate of the target horizontal production well at the next time step after a preset period can be calculated.
[0040] S104. Adjust the target parameters based on the predicted liquid production rate and the target liquid production rate, and calculate a new predicted liquid production rate based on the target water injection rate and the adjusted target parameters, until a predicted liquid production rate that meets the conditions is obtained, and the deviation between the predicted liquid production rate that meets the conditions and the target liquid production rate meets the preset threshold.
[0041] Specifically, if the deviation between the predicted production rate calculated based on the target parameters and the target production rate does not meet a preset threshold, the target parameters are adjusted based on this deviation, and a new predicted production rate for the target horizontal production well is obtained based on the target injection rate and the adjusted target parameters. If the deviation between the new predicted production rate and the target production rate does not meet the preset threshold, the adjusted target parameters are adjusted again based on the deviation, and the predicted production rate is recalculated again. This process continues until the deviation between the latest calculated predicted production rate and the target production rate meets the preset threshold, at which point the latest calculated predicted production rate is taken as the qualified predicted production rate.
[0042] S105. Using the target connectivity coefficient in the target parameters corresponding to the predicted production rate that meets the conditions, quantitatively characterize the segmental connectivity between the target horizontal injection well and the target horizontal production well.
[0043] Segmental connectivity refers to the connectivity between each injection segment of the target horizontal injection well and each production segment of the target horizontal production well. Specifically, after obtaining the predicted production rate that meets the conditions, the target parameters corresponding to the calculated predicted production rate can be obtained. Furthermore, the target connectivity coefficient in the target parameters corresponding to the predicted production rate that meets the conditions can be used as a reference connectivity coefficient. The segmental connectivity between the target horizontal injection well and the target horizontal production well can be quantitatively characterized using the connectivity coefficients between each injection segment and each production segment included in the reference connectivity coefficient.
[0044] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the quantitative characterization method for segmental connectivity of horizontal wells further includes the following steps A1-A3:
[0045] Step A1: Establish a target graph neural network based on target parameters and target adjacency matrix; the element values in the target adjacency matrix are used to quantify the connection relationship between two water injection sections, or the connection relationship between two production sections, or the connection relationship between the water injection section and the production section; the target graph neural network can calculate the predicted production rate of the target horizontal production well at the next time step after a preset period based on the target water injection rate.
[0046] Step A2: Train the target graph neural network based on the target water injection rate and the target liquid production rate until the target graph neural network calculates a predicted liquid production rate that meets the conditions based on the target water injection rate.
[0047] Step A3: Determine the target parameters corresponding to the predicted liquid production rate that meet the conditions based on the trained target graph neural network.
[0048] In this target adjacency matrix, each element can be set to either a first preset value or a second preset value. The first preset value indicates a connection between two water injection sections, two production sections, or a connection between a water injection section and a production section. The second preset value indicates no connection between two water injection sections, two production sections, or a connection between a water injection section and a production section. The first preset value can be 1, and the second preset value can be 0.
[0049] For example, the target adjacency matrix It can be represented as:
[0050] ;
[0051] in, Indicates the number of water injection sections. Indicates the number of production sections.
[0052] For details, please refer to Figure 2 A target directed graph can be constructed based on target parameters and a target adjacency matrix. This target directed graph includes multiple target nodes determined by the target adjacency matrix and the edges between these nodes; the coefficients of the edge associations between the target nodes are determined based on the target parameters. The multiple target nodes include target horizontal injection well nodes, each injection segment node, target horizontal production well nodes, and each production segment node. The edge associations between target horizontal injection well nodes and injection segment nodes are determined by the splitting coefficient of the injection segment. The edge association between the target horizontal production well node and the production section node is related to the splitting coefficient of the production section. The edge association between nodes in the water injection section and nodes in the production section has a connectivity coefficient between the water injection section and the production section. Furthermore, a target graph neural network can be established based on the target directed graph.
[0053] The target graph neural network is trained under supervision based on the target water injection rate and the target production rate. Training is considered complete when the deviation between the predicted production rate obtained from the target graph neural network based on the target water injection rate and the target production rate meets the budget threshold. Furthermore, based on the trained target graph neural network, the target parameters corresponding to the qualified predicted production rates can be determined, thereby improving the accuracy of quantitatively representing the segmental connectivity between the target horizontal water injection well and the target horizontal production well.
[0054] As an optional implementation of this invention, the process of determining the target adjacency matrix includes: determining the location information of each water injection section and each production section based on the geological data of the reservoir; and determining the target adjacency matrix based on a preset radius, the location information of each water injection section, and the location information of each production section.
[0055] The location information of the water injection section can refer to its spatial coordinates within the reservoir. Similarly, the location information of the production section can also refer to its spatial coordinates within the reservoir. Specifically, based on the location information of each water injection section, the distance between two water injection sections can be determined. Furthermore, if the distance between two water injection sections is not greater than a preset radius, it indicates a connection between the two sections, and the element values corresponding to the two water injection sections in the target adjacency matrix can be set to a first preset value. If the distance between two water injection sections is greater than the preset radius, it indicates no connection between the two sections, and the element values corresponding to the two water injection sections in the target adjacency matrix can be set to a second preset value. Likewise, by setting the element values corresponding to the two production sections in the target adjacency matrix, and setting the element values corresponding to the water injection section and the production section in the target adjacency matrix, the target adjacency matrix can be obtained.
[0056] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the training process of the target graph neural network includes: determining a target error value, wherein the target error value includes at least one of a first error value, a second error value, and a third error value; the first error value is the absolute error between the predicted production rate calculated by the target graph neural network and the target production rate; the second error value is the relative error between the predicted production rate calculated by the target graph neural network and the target production rate; the third error value is the absolute error between the first production rate and the second production rate, wherein the first production rate is determined based on the target water injection rate, the splitting coefficient of the water injection section, and the connectivity coefficient between the water injection section and the production section, and the second production rate is determined based on the target production rate and the splitting coefficient of the production section; and training the target graph neural network based on the target error value.
[0057] Specifically, based on the target error value, the splitting coefficients of each water injection segment, each production segment, and the target connectivity coefficient in the target graph neural network can be trained and adjusted to achieve supervised training of the target graph neural network.
[0058] For example, an oil reservoir may have multiple target-level water injection wells and multiple target-level production wells. Furthermore, the first error value... The following methods can be used for calculation:
[0059] ;
[0060] in, The number of production wells at the target level. For the target liquid production rate, The predicted production rate is determined by the target graph neural network.
[0061] Second error value The following methods can be used for calculation:
[0062] .
[0063] Third error value The following methods can be used for calculation:
[0064] ;
[0065] in, For the number of production sections, The number of water injection sections, The effective injection rate is determined based on the target injection rate. Indicates the first The splitting coefficient of each water injection section, Indicates the first The first water injection section and the first Connectivity coefficient between production segments Indicates the first The splitting coefficient of each production segment Indicates the first production rate. This indicates the second production rate.
[0066] The technical solution of this invention involves collecting the target water injection rate of a target horizontal water injection well and the target fluid production rate of a target horizontal production well in an oil reservoir; determining target parameters, including the splitting coefficient of each water injection section, the splitting coefficient of each production section, and the target connectivity coefficient; calculating the predicted fluid production rate of the target horizontal production well at the next time step after a preset period based on the target water injection rate and the target parameters; adjusting the target parameters based on the predicted fluid production rate and the target fluid production rate, and calculating a new predicted fluid production rate based on the target water injection rate and the adjusted target parameters, until a predicted fluid production rate that meets the conditions is obtained. This achieves the goal of targeting the target fluid production rate based on the collected target fluid production rate and the repeatedly calculated predicted fluid production rate. The target parameters are continuously adjusted until a predicted production rate whose deviation from the target production rate meets a preset threshold is obtained. This predicted production rate is then used as the qualified predicted production rate, so as to obtain the target parameters corresponding to the qualified predicted production rate. The target connectivity coefficient in the target parameters corresponding to the qualified predicted production rate is used to quantitatively characterize the segmented connectivity between the target horizontal injection well and the target horizontal production well. This achieves quantitative characterization of the connectivity between each injection segment of the target horizontal injection well and each production segment of the target horizontal production well by using the connectivity coefficients of each injection segment included in the target connectivity coefficients corresponding to the qualified predicted production rate.
[0067] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for quantitatively characterizing the segmental connectivity of horizontal wells, provided as an embodiment of the present invention. The technical solution of this embodiment further optimizes the process of determining target parameters in the aforementioned embodiments based on the technical solutions described above. Solutions not described in detail in this embodiment are found in the aforementioned embodiments. This embodiment can be combined with various optional solutions from one or more of the aforementioned embodiments. Figure 3 As shown, the quantitative characterization method for the segmental connectivity of this horizontal well includes:
[0068] S201. Collect the target water injection rate of the target horizontal water injection well and the target fluid production rate of the target horizontal production well in the reservoir. The target water injection rate includes the water injection rate at each time step within the preset period. The target fluid production rate is the fluid production rate at the next time step after the preset period. The target horizontal water injection well includes multiple water injection sections, and the target horizontal production well includes multiple production sections.
[0069] S202. Determine the splitting coefficient of each water injection section and the splitting coefficient of each production section based on the geological data of the reservoir.
[0070] In this context, reservoir geological data refers to data used to describe and characterize reservoir geological features, fluid properties, and reservoir spatial distribution patterns. Specifically, based on the reservoir geological data, the splitting coefficients for each water injection section and each production section are determined to improve the efficiency of adjusting these coefficients.
[0071] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, determining the splitting coefficient of each water injection section and the splitting coefficient of each production section based on the geological data of the reservoir includes the following steps B1-B4:
[0072] Step B1: Determine the first information based on geological data. The first information includes the injection length of each injection section and the reference information of each injection section, including permeability, reservoir thickness and porosity.
[0073] Step B2: Determine the splitting coefficient of each water injection section based on the first information.
[0074] Step B3: Determine the second information based on geological data. The second information includes the production length of each production section and the reference information of each production section.
[0075] Step B4: Determine the splitting coefficient for each production segment based on the second information.
[0076] The water injection length of the injection section refers to the length of the wellbore corresponding to the water injection section that allows water to be injected into the reservoir. The production length of the production section refers to the length of the wellbore corresponding to the production section that allows oil and gas to be extracted from the reservoir. Permeability can be used to indicate the ease with which fluids flow through the pores of rock. Reservoir thickness refers to the vertical thickness of the rock strata capable of storing and producing oil and gas. Porosity refers to the percentage of the volume of all pore spaces in a rock relative to the total volume of the rock.
[0077] Specifically, the water injection section's segmentation coefficient can be determined based on the water injection length and reference information, and the segmentation coefficient of each water injection section is determined based on the first information. Similarly, the production section's segmentation coefficient can be determined based on the production length and reference information, and the segmentation coefficient of each production section is determined based on the second information.
[0078] For example, in a target horizontal injection well, the injection rate allocated to an injection segment is related not only to its own injection length and reference information, but also to the injection length and reference information of its adjacent injection segments. Therefore, the segmentation coefficient of an injection segment is set based on its own injection length and reference information, as well as the injection length and reference information of its adjacent injection segments. Similarly, the segmentation coefficient of a production segment is set based on its own production length and reference information, as well as the production length and reference information of its adjacent production segments.
[0079] S203. Determine the target connectivity coefficient based on the target water injection rate, the splitting coefficient of each water injection section, the target liquid production rate, and the splitting coefficient of each production section.
[0080] Specifically, the target connectivity coefficient can be determined based on the water injection rate at each time step in the target water injection rate, the splitting coefficient of each water injection segment, the target liquid production rate, and the splitting coefficient of each production segment, so as to improve the efficiency of adjusting the target connectivity coefficient.
[0081] Optionally, when determining the target connectivity coefficient, the connectivity coefficients between each water injection section and each production section included in the target connectivity coefficient are normalized.
[0082] As an optional implementation of this invention, determining the target connectivity coefficient based on the target water injection rate, the splitting coefficient of each water injection segment, the target fluid production rate, and the splitting coefficient of each production segment includes: determining the effective water injection rate of the target horizontal water injection well in one time step based on the target water injection rate; and determining the target connectivity coefficient based on the effective water injection rate, the splitting coefficient of each water injection segment, the target fluid production rate, and the splitting coefficient of each production segment.
[0083] The effective water injection rate can be the average of the water injection rates at each time step within the target water injection rate, or a weighted sum of the water injection rates at each time step within the target water injection rate. Optionally, based on the target water injection rate, the effective water injection rate is determined by a first multilayer sensor, and the effective water injection rate is adjusted by adjusting the parameters in the first multilayer sensor.
[0084] Specifically, the water injection rate of each injection segment is calculated based on the effective water injection rate and the splitting coefficient of each injection segment; the liquid production rate of each production segment is calculated based on the target liquid production rate and the splitting coefficient of each production segment. Furthermore, the target connectivity coefficient is determined based on the water injection rate of each injection segment and the liquid production rate of each production segment.
[0085] S204. Calculate the predicted production rate of the target horizontal production well at the next time step after a preset cycle based on the target water injection rate and target parameters.
[0086] S205. Adjust the target parameters based on the predicted liquid production rate and the target liquid production rate, and calculate a new predicted liquid production rate based on the target water injection rate and the adjusted target parameters, until a predicted liquid production rate that meets the conditions is obtained, and the deviation between the predicted liquid production rate that meets the conditions and the target liquid production rate meets the preset threshold.
[0087] Optionally, based on the water injection length of each water injection segment and the reference information of each water injection segment, the splitting coefficient of each water injection segment is determined by a second multilayer sensor; based on the production length of each production segment and the reference information of each production segment, the splitting coefficient of each production segment is determined by a third multilayer sensor; based on the water injection rate of each water injection segment and the liquid production rate of each production segment, the target connectivity coefficient is determined by a fourth multilayer sensor; and the parameters in the second, third, and fourth multilayer sensors are adjusted based on the deviation to achieve adjustment of the target parameters.
[0088] S206. Using the target connectivity coefficient in the target parameters corresponding to the predicted production rate that meets the conditions, quantitatively characterize the segmental connectivity between the target horizontal injection well and the target horizontal production well.
[0089] The technical solution of this invention collects the target water injection rate of the target horizontal water injection well and the target fluid production rate of the target horizontal production well in the reservoir; determines the splitting coefficient of each water injection section and the splitting coefficient of each production section based on the reservoir's geological data; determines the target connectivity coefficient based on the target water injection rate, the splitting coefficient of each water injection section, the target fluid production rate, and the splitting coefficient of each production section, thereby realizing the setting of target parameters through reservoir geological data, target water injection rate, and target fluid production rate, which reduces the difficulty of adjusting target parameters and improves calculation efficiency; calculates the predicted fluid production rate of the target horizontal production well at the next time step after a preset period based on the target water injection rate and target parameters; and calculates the target connectivity coefficient based on the predicted fluid production rate and the target fluid production rate. The target parameters for the production rate are adjusted, and a new predicted production rate is calculated based on the target injection rate and the adjusted target parameters until a predicted production rate that meets the conditions is obtained, so as to obtain the target parameters corresponding to the predicted production rate that meets the conditions. The target connectivity coefficient in the target parameters corresponding to the predicted production rate that meets the conditions is used to quantitatively characterize the segmented connectivity between the target horizontal injection well and the target horizontal production well. This realizes that the connectivity between each injection segment of the target horizontal injection well and each production segment of the target horizontal production well is quantitatively characterized by the connectivity coefficient between each injection segment and each production segment included in the target connectivity coefficient corresponding to the predicted production rate that meets the conditions.

The device can be implemented in hardware and / or software. Figure 4 As shown, the quantitative characterization device for the segmental connectivity of this horizontal well includes:
[0091] The first acquisition module 301 is used to acquire the target water injection rate of the target horizontal water injection well and the target fluid production rate of the target horizontal production well in the reservoir.
