TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of oil reservoir development dynamic monitoring data interpretation and analysis, and particularly relates to a well test analysis and interpretation method for a single medium different boundary inclined well. BACKGROUND
[0002] As an important method for understanding reservoir dynamics, well test data interpretation and analysis is mainly used to evaluate the response characteristics of oil and gas wells or reservoirs and obtain relevant dynamic parameters according to the test data of oil and gas wells. With the continuous development of drilling technology, complex structure wells such as inclined wells, horizontal wells, and branch wells are increasing, and their testing methods and interpretation methods have also developed to meet production needs. The completion, well testing, and interpretation of inclined wells are usually more complex than that of straight wells.
[0003] At present, there are more studies on well test technology for horizontal wells and straight wells, and relatively less studies on pressure test data interpretation and research for inclined wells, especially for inclined well test interpretation and analysis technology under complex geological conditions and complex boundary conditions, which are rarely published. Patent CN202211593363.1 discloses an improved MDH well test analysis method (MDH well test analysis method is a well test analysis method proposed by Miller, Dyes, and Hutchinson in 1950, mainly used to analyze the radial flow section of pressure buildup data, and analyze the formation permeability and skin factor data), which optimizes the MDH method by the difference of the shut-in pressure at different times, and uses the new model established by the optimized formula to output the optimal solution. This method effectively eliminates the effects of wellbore afterflow and oil layer skin factor, maintains the stability of the slope and the accuracy of the test flow pressure before shut-in, but this method is only limited to the pressure test data interpretation and research of straight wells, and is not suitable for inclined well interpretation. Patent CN202010615379.2 discloses a single well test analysis method, which unifies the circular closure and circular constant pressure boundary conditions of the Darcy seepage well test model of homogeneous deposits, and establishes a new well test interpretation model. However, this method is only limited to the unification of circular closure and circular constant pressure boundary conditions, and does not consider other types of boundary conditions. Patent CN200810019198.2 proposes a well test analysis method based on small signal extraction technology, which makes an interpretation of pressure data well test analysis without radial flow straight line segment, but this method is more inclined to early well test interpretation optimization, and has little relevance to the present application method.

[0061]
[0062] In the formula, z D Points on the well trajectory; At time 0, M D For the location M' D Pressure response of a unit intensity instantaneous point source at z e Let l be the dimensionless stratum thickness and l be the characteristic length.
[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, the boundary conditions of the circular closed outer boundary are:

Figure 7 Let the distances from the center of the deviated well to the two faults be L1 and L2, respectively. The right-angle fault is a completely impermeable fault. Let the midpoint of the deviated well be denoted by M′, and the midpoints of the mirrored wells be denoted by M″, M″′, and M″″, respectively. The deviated well is parallel to one of the faults. From the fundamental solution of the point source function, the fundamental solution of the point source function in the top-bottom closed right-angle fault reservoir is:

[0080]
[0081] where RDi is boundary distance; x, y, z are point coordinates; z e is dimensionless formation thickness; and l is characteristic length. By using Poisson formula, formula (12) is simplified as

[0086] The mirror well trajectory satisfies formula (15):
[0087]
[0088] By combining formula (13) and formula (15), formula (16) is obtained:
[0089]
[0090] By substituting formula (16) into formula (13) and integrating along the deviated well trajectory, the bottom hole pressure response of a deviated well in a top-to-bottom sealing right-angle fault reservoir is obtained by dimensionless, as shown in formula (17):

[0094] Example 2

[0096] S1: The daily oil production of the BA well before shut-in is 0.753t, and then the shut-in pressure recovery is 27.18h, according to the drilling data of the well, firstly, the pressure and pressure derivative double logarithmic curve fitting graph is drawn, as shown in the figure, according to the end characteristics of the well curve fitting graph, it can be judged that there is a non-permeable fracture zone near the well, and the constant pressure characteristics are not obvious, which is consistent with the actual geological characteristics of the well, after comprehensive consideration, the model of top and bottom closed single medium homogeneous formation and boundary of right angle fault is selected for fitting; Figure 8
[0097] S2: According to the model type, the basic solution of the top and bottom closed right angle fault formation point source function is listed See formula (12);
[0098] S3: The well trajectory equation of the inclined well is listed, and its mirror image is listed, the mirror image well trajectory satisfies equation group formula (15); formula (12) and formula (15) are combined, the result is brought into Simplify the formula, and integrate along the inclined well trajectory, the bottom hole pressure response of the inclined well in the top and bottom closed right angle fault reservoir can be obtained by non-dimensionalization, see formula (17), finally, the fitting result is shown in table 1 and Figure 9 .

[0100]
[0101]
[0102] By comparing the fitting results of the inclined well model and the straight well model, it can be seen that the fitting results of the inclined well model are more consistent with the actual geological characteristics of the well, and can better reflect the actual situation of the reservoir. And the calculation parameters of the inclined well interpretation model are more accurate, and the applicability is stronger.
[0103] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
