Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of well testing technology for ultra-low permeability reservoirs, specifically relating to a dynamic early warning method and related device for well testing of ultra-low permeability reservoirs based on water injection wells. Background Technology
[0002] Ultra-low permeability reservoirs have poor physical properties. Conventional dynamic monitoring data, acquired and applied according to conventional reservoir models, suffer from poor data matching and cannot accurately reflect the reservoir's waterflooding status. Current research on waterflooding monitoring mainly employs two methods: tracers and the waterflood front. While the waterflood front is a novel monitoring technology, its reliability remains to be verified, and it generally requires the use of tracers for validation. Water well pressure drawdown testing technology is relatively mature, providing high-quality data with interpretation charts and methods closely aligned with production dynamics. However, it fails to accurately characterize the waterflooding impact and energy transmission range, and its data application rate is low. It is frequently used in conjunction with pulse testing and tracers for analyzing waterflooding conditions in well groups, and has not yet become a routine application to guide well group adjustments and improvements in development outcomes.
[0003] In China, the acquisition and analysis of dynamic monitoring data are mainly based on the acquisition and application of dynamic monitoring data for conventional oil reservoirs. In particular, pressure well testing and profile monitoring, which can be used to characterize water drive, are mainly based on medium and high permeability sandstone and conglomerate reservoirs. Although relevant regulations have been made for low-permeability and ultra-low-permeability reservoirs, no in-depth research or deployment experiments have been carried out on ultra-low-permeability reservoirs. As a result, dynamic monitoring of conventional oil reservoirs cannot provide accurate early warning for well testing in ultra-low-permeability reservoirs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a dynamic early warning method and related device for well testing in ultra-low permeability reservoirs based on water injection wells, which solves the technical defects in the prior art, where the lack of in-depth research and deployment experiments on ultra-low permeability reservoirs has resulted in the inability of dynamic monitoring of conventional reservoirs to provide accurate early warning for well testing in ultra-low permeability reservoirs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:
[0006] Firstly, a dynamic early warning method for well testing in ultra-low permeability reservoirs based on water injection wells is provided, including:
[0007] Obtain data on the rate of pressure drop in injection wells;
[0008] Using the obtained data on the rate of pressure drop in the injection wells, and through well testing software, the water drive radius of ultra-low permeability reservoirs is detected, and formation seepage characteristics and reservoir dominant channels are determined.
[0009] The system presets safety standards for oil well production and, based on model changes in the well testing software, provides early warnings about whether the formation conductivity meets the safety standards for oil well production.
[0010] Furthermore, data on the rate of pressure drop in injection wells is obtained, specifically including:
[0011] A pressure gauge is used to measure the rate of pressure drop in the injection well, and the data is transmitted to the well testing software.
[0012] Furthermore, using the acquired data on the rate of pressure drop in the injection wells, and through well testing software, the water drive radius of ultra-low permeability reservoirs is detected to determine formation seepage characteristics and dominant reservoir channels, specifically including:
[0013] Using the acquired data on the rate of pressure drop in the injection well, and through well testing software, it is determined whether the formation is a homogeneous formation or a fractured formation. When the formation is determined to be a homogeneous formation, a homogeneous reservoir model is used to display the water drive wave range and fracture length. When the formation is determined to be a fractured formation, a finite-conductivity fracture model or a wireless-conductivity fracture model is used to display the water drive wave range and fracture length.
[0014] The pressure change data of the same injection well over one year is obtained, and the curve changes are displayed using well testing software. Based on the curve changes, the formation seepage characteristics are determined.
[0015] The well testing software calculates the length of fractures in ultra-low permeability reservoirs using data on the rate of pressure drop in water injection wells. Based on the fracture length, it matches the corresponding model and displays the results visually, then determines the reservoir channel conditions based on the displayed data.
[0016] Furthermore, when the curve changes from low to high, the formation gradually shows improvement; when the curve changes from high to low, the formation develops from large pores to fractures.
[0017] Furthermore, when the crack length is long, an infinite-conduction crack model is matched; when the crack length is short, a finite-conduction crack model is matched.
[0018] When the crack length is long, the channel is well developed; when the crack length is short, the channel is poorly developed.
[0019] Furthermore, a pre-defined safety standard for oil well production is established. Based on model changes in the well testing software, it is determined whether the formation conductivity meets the safety standard for oil well production. Specifically, this includes:
[0020] The safety standard for oil well production is that the pressure drop of ultra-low permeability Class I reservoirs should not exceed 3-6 MPa, ultra-low permeability Class II reservoirs should not exceed 2-4 MPa, and ultra-low permeability Class III reservoirs should not exceed 1-3 MPa. When the water drive wave range is not greater than 150 m and the annual test pressure drop is greater than 3 MPa, an early warning will be issued.
[0021] When the curve characteristics show linear flow, early warning and remediation are needed; when the fracture change is greater than 25m, the dominant channels of the reservoir should be treated in a timely manner.
[0022] When the model is changed from a homogeneous reservoir model to a finite or infinitely conductive fracture model, it is necessary to provide timely warning of the formation of unidirectional seepage channels.
[0023] Secondly, a well test method for ultra-low permeability reservoirs is provided, which uses the aforementioned early warning method for dynamic early warning.
[0024] Thirdly, a dynamic early warning system for well testing in ultra-low permeability reservoirs based on water injection wells is provided, including:
[0025] The data acquisition module is used to acquire data on the rate of pressure drop in water injection wells;
[0026] The detection module is used to detect the water drive radius of ultra-low permeability reservoirs;
[0027] The judgment module is used to determine the formation seepage characteristics and the dominant channels in the reservoir;
[0028] The early warning module is used to provide early warnings on whether the formation's diversion capacity meets the safety standards for oil well production.
[0029] Fourthly, an electronic device is provided, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable in the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the dynamic early warning method for well testing of ultra-low permeability reservoirs based on water injection wells as described above.
[0030] Fifthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the dynamic early warning method for well testing of ultra-low permeability reservoirs based on water injection wells as described above.
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0032] 1. By monitoring the pressure drop rate of injection wells in real time and analyzing the water drive radius and formation seepage characteristics using well testing software, water injection strategies and parameters can be adjusted in a timely manner to improve water injection development effectiveness and enable fuller utilization of the reservoir. 2. By setting pre-defined safety standards for production wells and leveraging the early warning function of well testing software, potential safety hazards such as insufficient formation conductivity can be detected promptly, allowing for corresponding preventative and remedial measures to reduce production risks. 3. Finally, through refined dynamic early warning and management of ultra-low permeability reservoirs, the fluid distribution and flow patterns within the reservoir can be understood more accurately, leading to the development of more rational production plans and improved resource utilization efficiency.
[0033] 2. Using professional pressure gauges ensures the accuracy and reliability of data on the rate of pressure drop in injection wells. Real-time monitoring of pressure changes in injection wells via pressure gauges allows for the timely detection of pressure drop trends and rates, providing timely data support for dynamic early warning. This real-time monitoring capability facilitates rapid response to reservoir dynamics and allows for appropriate adjustments. The measured data is automatically transmitted to the well testing software, reducing manual intervention and data entry steps, thus improving work efficiency and automation. This not only reduces the risk of human error but also makes the data analysis process more efficient and convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0067] Ultra-low permeability reservoirs have poor physical properties. Conventional dynamic monitoring data, acquired and applied according to conventional reservoir models, suffer from poor data matching and cannot accurately reflect the reservoir's waterflooding status. Current research on waterflooding monitoring mainly employs two methods: tracers and the waterflood front. While the waterflood front is a novel monitoring technology, its reliability remains to be verified, and it generally requires the use of tracers for validation. Water well pressure drawdown testing technology is relatively mature, providing high-quality data with interpretation charts and methods closely aligned with production dynamics. However, it fails to accurately characterize the waterflooding impact and energy transmission range, and its data application rate is low. It is frequently used in conjunction with pulse testing and tracers for analyzing waterflooding conditions in well groups, and has not yet become a routine application to guide well group adjustments and improvements in development outcomes.
[0068] In China, the acquisition and analysis of dynamic monitoring data are mainly based on the acquisition and application of dynamic monitoring data for conventional oil reservoirs. In particular, pressure well testing and profile monitoring, which can be used to characterize water drive, are mainly based on medium and high permeability sandstone and conglomerate reservoirs. Although relevant regulations have been made for low-permeability and ultra-low-permeability reservoirs, no in-depth research or deployment experiments have been carried out on ultra-low-permeability reservoirs. As a result, dynamic monitoring of conventional oil reservoirs cannot provide accurate early warning for well testing in ultra-low-permeability reservoirs.
[0069] To address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, the inventors have provided a dynamic early warning method and related device for well testing in ultra-low permeability reservoirs based on water injection wells.
[0070] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a dynamic early warning method for well testing in ultra-low permeability reservoirs based on water injection wells, such as... Figures 1-25 As shown, it includes:
[0071] S101. Obtain data on the rate of pressure drop in the injection well; for example, such as... Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic of a homogeneous reservoir well test model. Depending on specific operational requirements, a cycle of 15, 18, or 20 days is used. Pressure drop rate data from the injection well is measured using a pressure gauge, and the data is transmitted to the well test software. Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the Luo 228 Chang 8 reservoir has poor reservoir properties and belongs to the ultra-low permeability type 2. The normal pressure variation range is 3-4 MPa. Figure 10 In the middle section, the test pressure of the Jiang 294-8 water injection well dropped from 48.54 MPa to 32.77 MPa, indicating a rapid pressure drop in the well. Figure 11 In the middle, the double logarithmic curve showed a 1 / 2 linear flow, indicating well-developed near-well fractures and strong water absorption capacity. After water shut-off and profile control in 2021, periodic water injection was implemented to ensure its effectiveness. The water cut of the corresponding oil well Jiang 294-7 decreased from 80% to about 50%, and the water control and oil stabilization were good.
[0072] S102. Using the obtained water injection well pressure drop rate data and well testing software, the water drive radius of the ultra-low permeability reservoir is detected to determine the formation seepage characteristics and the dominant reservoir channels. For example, using the obtained water injection well pressure drop rate data and well testing software, the water flow radius is automatically calculated and displayed as a curve. The formation is manually judged as a homogeneous or fractured formation based on the curve. The conditions for judging a homogeneous formation are: first, the pressure of the water fluid in a single water flow channel is compressible, and the reservoir seepage satisfies Darcy's law; second, the reservoir is horizontally uniform in thickness and isotropic, with good interlayers between the upper and lower layers, and the formation pressure distribution is uniform under original conditions; third, the influence of the reservoir's own gravity and capillary force is ignored; fourth, the temperature is consistent during the water flow process; and fifth, wellbore storage and skin effect are considered.
[0073] Based on these five conditions, the mathematical model algorithm formula for homogeneous oil reservoirs is derived as follows:
[0074]
[0075] Where: r is the radius, K is the permeability, P is the pressure, T is the time, C is the compressibility factor, and u is the viscosity.
[0076] The criteria for determining a fractured formation are as follows: It is assumed that only one fracture is forced open, this fracture penetrates the entire oil layer, is symmetrical with the wellbore, and has a half-length of Xf; the fracture has infinite conductivity, there is no pressure drop along the fracture direction, and the fracture width is zero. Other assumptions include: first, the fluid is single-phase and slightly compressible; second, gravity and capillary forces are ignored; third, the formation fluid is a slightly compressible single-phase fluid; and fourth, the fluid flow satisfies linear Darcy flow. When the formation is determined to be homogeneous, a homogeneous reservoir model is used to display the water-drive wave range and fracture length. The homogeneous reservoir model includes a homogeneous reservoir physical model, a homogeneous reservoir mathematical model, a homogeneous reservoir flow law model, a homogeneous reservoir model graphical model, a basic model, an inner boundary module, and an outer boundary module. The homogeneous reservoir mathematical model is used to establish numerical formulas, the homogeneous reservoir flow law model is used to summarize the laws, and the homogeneous reservoir model graphical model is used to display the data graphically. Figure 4 and Figure 7 In the medium-quality oil reservoir model diagram, Stage I is the pure well reservoir section, where the pressure and pressure conductivity curves coincide and form a straight line with a slope of 1; Stage II is the transition section between the wellbore and the formation; Stage III is the radial flow response section, where the pressure conductivity curve forms a horizontal line with a slope of 0.5.
[0077] When the formation is determined to be a fractured formation, a finite-conductivity fracture model or an infinite-conductivity fracture model is used to display the water-drive wave range and fracture length. The infinite-conductivity fracture model includes an infinite-conductivity fracture physical model, an infinite-conductivity fracture digital model, infinite-conductivity fracture seepage laws, and an infinite-conductivity fracture model chart. The pressure response of a vertical well in an infinite-conductivity fracture digital model with a sealed top and bottom, laterally infinite oil and gas reservoir, fully fractured, and with uniform flow is as follows:
[0078]
[0079] Where D is the pressure in the vertical well, and z is the Laplace variable. In actual calculations, xfD = 0.732 can be taken as the equivalent pressure point.
[0080]
[0081] The above equation is the bottomhole pressure response solution considering the skin and well reservoir.
[0082] In the infinite-conductivity fracture model diagram, Stage I represents the pure well reservoir section, where the pressure and permeability curves coincide as a straight line with a slope of 1; Stage II is the transition section between the wellbore and the fracture; Stage III is the linear flow section of the fracture, where the permeability curve is a horizontal line with a slope of 0.5; Stage IV is the transition section between the fracture and the formation; and Stage V is the radial flow section of the formation, where the permeability curve is a horizontal line. The influence of the well reservoir on the diagram is mainly reflected in the upper and lower positions of the leading edge of the permeability curve on the logarithmic diagram. The larger the well reservoir, the lower the position of the pressure and permeability curve segment. The skin factor mainly affects the height of the hump in the middle of the permeability curve on the logarithmic diagram. The larger the skin factor, the more obvious and higher the hump of the permeability curve. Figure 7 As shown.
[0083] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown; a smaller crack data value indicates a shorter crack length and a smaller water-driven wave range; a larger crack data value indicates a longer crack length and a larger water-driven wave range. Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the double logarithmic curve of well Huan 202-97 indicates a large water drive sweep area of 217m. Given that the well spacing in this reservoir is only 250m, the risk of water breakthrough in the corresponding wells is high. The water injection rate was optimized and lowered. The well group's production capacity and water cut remained relatively stable, with a stable production period of 7 months. Then, by acquiring one year's pressure change data from the same injection well and using well testing software to display the curve changes, the formation seepage characteristics were manually determined based on the curve change amplitude and data range. This process does not require a model. Specifically, when the displayed curve change increases from low to high, the formation gradually shows improvement; when the displayed curve change decreases from high to low, the formation develops from large porosity to fractures. For example... Figures 14-18As shown, the Hong 15-03 well exhibited uneven vertical water absorption, leading to the formation of a dominant channel. In 2021, the pressure tested was significantly lower than in 2020, decreasing from 17.1 MPa to 9.3 MPa, indicating water breakthrough. Through fine-tuning of the upper layers, the water injection rate in the upper layer of the Hong 15-03 well was controlled, decreasing from 10 m³ to 5 m³, while the lower layer injection rate increased from 5 m³ to 8 m³. After these adjustments, the water well pressure tested again in 2022 increased from 9.3 MPa to 13.5 MPa, demonstrating good water control and oil stabilization effects.
[0084] Secondly, the well testing software calculates the fracture length in ultra-low permeability reservoirs using data on the pressure drop rate of injection wells, and matches the corresponding model based on the fracture length, displaying the results visually. Figures 5-9 As shown, the reservoir channel condition is determined based on the displayed image. Specifically, when the fracture length is long, an infinite-conductivity fracture model is used; when the fracture length is short, a finite-conductivity fracture model is used. Longer fracture lengths indicate well-developed channels, while shorter fracture lengths indicate poorly developed channels.
[0085] like Figures 19-22 As shown, taking well Jiang 81-49 as an example, Figure 19 In May 2019, the water injection well was shut down and the well test interpretation showed that the relative permeability of the water phase in the inner zone (water zone) was 0.39 kJ / mD, and the fracture half-length was 38.3 m. Figure 20 The relative permeability of the water phase in the inner zone, as interpreted by the well shutdown test in May 2022, was 0.13 kJ / mD, and the fracture half-length was 63 m. The pressure differential and pressure derivative curves in the logarithmic coordinate system of this well exhibit typical linear flow characteristics, i.e., fracture seepage characteristics. This is mainly because the dominant flow channels develop more extensively with the continuation of the injection time. The fracture half-length increased during the well shutdown test in May 2022 (from 38.3 m to 63 m), which can be considered as an increase of 24.7 m in the dominant flow channels during the two well shutdowns. Figure 22 In the process, refined injection is implemented to improve the reservoir's advantageous channels and enhance water drive efficiency.
[0086] S103. Preset safety standards for oil well production. Based on model changes in the well testing software, issue early warnings regarding whether the formation conductivity meets the safety standards for oil well production. For example, the preset safety standards for oil well production are: pressure drop of no more than 3-6 MPa for ultra-low permeability Class I reservoirs, no more than 2-4 MPa for ultra-low permeability Class II reservoirs, and no more than 1-3 MPa for ultra-low permeability Class III reservoirs. An early warning is issued when the water drive wave range is no more than 150 m and the annual test pressure drop is greater than 3 MPa; when the curve characteristics are linear flow, early warning and remediation are initiated; when fracture changes are greater than 25 m, the dominant channels in the reservoir should be addressed promptly; when the model changes from a homogeneous reservoir model to a finite or infinite conductivity fracture model, an early warning should be issued regarding the formation of unidirectional seepage channels. Figures 23-25As shown, taking well Hu 262-247 in Luo 247 area as an example, the model interpreted by the two-year comparative well test has changed, from... Figure 23 The homogeneous reservoir model in the middle became Figure 24 The finite-conductivity fracture model indicates that the reservoir in ultra-low permeability oil well testing has changed from homogeneous flow to fractured flow, forming unidirectional flow channels. This necessitates timely early warning and adjustment of water injection policies, such as... Figure 25 As shown, the water injection volume was controlled, and the effect after adjustment was obvious. The corresponding well group showed an increase in liquid volume and a decrease in water cut.
[0087] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a well test for an ultra-low permeability reservoir, which uses the aforementioned early warning method for dynamic early warning.
[0088] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention provide a dynamic early warning system for well testing in ultra-low permeability reservoirs based on water injection wells, such as... Figure 26 As shown, it includes:
[0089] The data acquisition module is used to acquire data on the rate of pressure drop in water injection wells;

[0091] The judgment module is used to determine the formation seepage characteristics and the dominant channels in the reservoir;
[0092] The early warning module is used to provide early warnings on whether the formation's diversion capacity meets the safety standards for oil well production.
