Description

Technical Field

[0001] This manual belongs to the field of oil and gas exploration and development technology, and in particular relates to a method, apparatus and equipment for evaluating the production capacity of gas wells in carbonate gas fields. Background Technology

[0002] Carbonate gas fields are one of the important areas of natural gas exploration and development in China. As of the end of 2018, carbonate gas fields accounted for 28.34% of the proven reserves of natural gas fields, and 66% of conventional gas production in 2018 came from carbonate gas fields. Low permeability is a typical characteristic of the carbonate gas reservoirs discovered in recent years.

[0003] Determine the absolute unobstructed flow rate q of the gas well AOF It is the core work of gas field development, running through the entire process, and includes the q in the early evaluation stage. AOF The evaluation results serve as the basis for the design of gas production and surface gathering and transportation projects. The reliability of the evaluation results determines the rationality of the project design and investment, as well as the q during the stable production and decline periods. AOF The evaluation results serve as the basis for optimizing and adjusting gas field production. (Carbonate gas field q) AOF Yes, the determination is based on the production capacity testing technology based on seepage mechanics. Production capacity testing was initially a multi-point testing method. After decades of field practice, with the deepening of concepts such as resource protection, environmental protection, safety, and improved management efficiency, the field implementation of production capacity evaluation and gas well production determination has increasingly relied on and adopted the single-point testing method. Since the publication of the "one-point method" formula based on the binomial production capacity equation theory in 1989, this method has gradually become the main method of single-point testing in the field because it combines theory, experience, and convenience. Various gas fields have successively established a large number of empirical formulas for single-point testing production capacity evaluation.

[0004] Carbonate gas fields are generally characterized by dense matrix, well-developed fractures, and strong heterogeneity. With the continuous practice of single-point testing in the field, gas wells with low permeability, strong heterogeneity, and medium-to-high permeability geological characteristics present a contradiction in the productivity evaluation process compared to the "one-point method." If the reservoir has strong permeability, the stability empirical number in the "one-point method" formula is less than 0.25. For this type of gas reservoir, the productivity evaluation results of single-point testing under small production pressure differentials will be magnified many times over, rendering the "one-point method" completely inapplicable. The above problems can be addressed by summarizing and simplifying the "one-point method" productivity equation based on obtaining relatively reliable productivity test results in specific blocks. If the gas reservoir has complex relationships between pores, cavities, and fractures at different scales, exhibiting low permeability and strong heterogeneity, and the permeability of each well area differs by orders of magnitude after reservoir stimulation, the single-point test results cannot reflect the true stable permeability potential. For this type of gas reservoir, field testing is insufficient to meet the requirements of natural gas well testing technology. In addition, well testing in deep to ultra-deep carbonate gas fields carries high risks, and the universality of the extended "one-point method" for finely classifying reservoir types based on dynamic and static data is also limited.

[0005] Therefore, how to evaluate the production capacity of gas wells in carbonate gas fields and how to accurately classify reservoir types based on dynamic and static data are technical problems that urgently need to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the difficulty in re-identifying high-consequence zones in existing technologies, this specification provides a method, apparatus, and equipment for evaluating the production capacity of gas wells in carbonate gas fields.

This specification establishes a method for calculating the stable production capacity q of gas wells based on well logging Kh and φh. AOF The method clarifies the characteristics of different reservoir types and the upper and lower boundaries of gas well stability q. AOF The mathematical expression for .

[0053] On the other hand, embodiments of this specification also provide a computer device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the above-described method.

[0054] On the other hand, embodiments of this specification also provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described method.

[0055] Finally, this specification also provides a computer program product, which includes a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described method.

[0056] Using the embodiments of this specification, firstly, well logging formation coefficients and well logging storage coefficients from special well tests of different types of carbonate gas fields are collected. Simultaneously, the coefficient relationships in the binomial productivity calculation equation are obtained based on the special well test data.

Based on the plotted relationship charts and the different reservoir characteristics, carbonate gas field wells are classified into various types of carbonate gas fields. Then, based on the classification results, the well logging historical data of gas wells in different categories of gas fields are fitted to obtain the coefficient relationships of the binomial productivity equation and the relationship between the well logging storage coefficient and the well logging formation coefficient. The process involves several steps: First, establishing a well formation coefficient relationship. This involves acquiring logging data from a gas well awaiting production capacity evaluation, obtaining its formation coefficient and storage coefficient, conducting a pre-production static pressure test, recording and interpreting the pressure data, and calculating the original formation pressure. Based on the logging data, the well's type is determined. The formation coefficient is then substituted into the corresponding historical logging data to obtain a binomial production capacity equation coefficient relationship. This yields the binomial production capacity equation coefficients for the well. Finally, the binomial production capacity equation coefficients and the original formation pressure are substituted into the binomial production capacity calculation formula to generate the production capacity evaluation for the well.

It effectively reduces the adverse factors of production well tests and improves the coverage of gas well production capacity evaluation. It can also reduce the waste of resources caused by releasing large amounts of sulfur-containing natural gas during production testing of sulfur-containing gas wells, and reduce the risks of on-site testing operations and safety management.

[0092] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this specification provides a method for evaluating the production capacity of gas wells in carbonate gas fields. By determining the type of the gas well to be evaluated, and substituting the coefficients of the binomial production capacity equation of the well and its original formation pressure into the binomial production capacity calculation formula appropriate for that type of gas well, the production capacity evaluation result of the gas well to be evaluated is determined. This method enables the precise classification of reservoir types and the evaluation of gas well production capacity in carbonate gas fields based on dynamic and static data. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating the method for evaluating the production capacity of gas wells in carbonate gas fields, as described in this specification. The process of evaluating the production capacity of gas wells in carbonate gas fields is illustrated in this diagram. The order of steps listed in the embodiments is merely one possible execution order among many steps and does not represent the only possible execution order. In actual system or device products, the methods shown in the embodiments or accompanying drawings can be executed sequentially or in parallel.

[0093] As shown in the figure, the method may include:

[0094] Step 201: Obtain historical logging data of gas wells in various types of carbonate gas fields, and obtain the formation coefficient and energy storage coefficient of the well logging based on the historical logging data;

[0095] The coefficients of the binomial productivity equation were obtained based on the historical well logging data.

[0096] Step 202: Draw a first relationship chart between the well test logging formation coefficient and the binomial productivity equation coefficient, and a second relationship chart between the well test logging storage coefficient and the well test logging formation coefficient;

[0097] Step 203: Classify the gas wells in the carbonate gas field according to the distinguishing features of the first relationship map and the second relationship map;

[0098] Step 204: Based on the classification results, fit the first relationship between the formation coefficients of different types of well test logging and the coefficients of the binomial productivity equation;

[0099] Step 205: Obtain logging data of a gas well to be evaluated for production capacity, including logging formation coefficient and logging storage coefficient, and conduct a pre-production static pressure test on the gas well to be evaluated for production capacity to obtain its original formation pressure;

[0100] Step 206: Determine the type of the gas well to be evaluated based on the logging data, and substitute the logging formation coefficient into the first relational expression corresponding to the type of the gas well to be evaluated to determine the binomial productivity equation coefficient of the gas well to be evaluated.

[0101] Step 207: Substitute the coefficients of the binomial production capacity equation of the gas well to be evaluated and its original formation pressure into the gas field gas well production capacity calculation formula to generate the production capacity evaluation of the gas well to be evaluated.

[0102] Using the embodiments of this specification, firstly, well logging formation coefficients and well logging storage coefficients from special well tests of different types of carbonate gas fields are collected. Simultaneously, the coefficient relationships in the binomial productivity calculation equation are obtained based on the special well test data. Then, by plotting the relationship between the well logging formation coefficient and historical well logging data, as well as the relationship between the well logging storage coefficient and the well logging formation coefficient, a first relationship chart and a second relationship chart are generated. Based on the plotted relationship charts and the different reservoir characteristics, carbonate gas field wells are classified into various types of carbonate gas fields. Then, based on the classification results, the well logging historical data of gas wells in different categories of gas fields are fitted to obtain the coefficient relationships of the binomial productivity equation and the relationship between the well logging storage coefficient and the well logging formation coefficient. The process involves several steps: First, establishing a coefficient relationship. This involves acquiring logging data for a gas well requiring production capacity evaluation. This includes obtaining the formation coefficient and storage coefficient, conducting a pre-production static pressure test, recording and interpreting the pressure data, and calculating the original formation pressure. Based on the logging data, the well's type is determined. The formation coefficient is then substituted into the corresponding historical logging data to obtain a binomial production capacity equation coefficient relationship. This yields the binomial production capacity equation coefficients for the well. Finally, the binomial production capacity equation coefficients and the original formation pressure are substituted into the binomial production capacity calculation formula for the well's type to generate a production capacity evaluation. This method allows for effective evaluation of gas well production capacity without conducting production well tests, using empirical formulas and field test data. It effectively reduces the adverse factors of production well tests and improves the coverage of gas well production capacity evaluation. It can also reduce the waste of resources caused by releasing large amounts of sulfur-containing natural gas during production testing of sulfur-containing gas wells, and reduce the risks of on-site testing operations and safety management.

[0103] In the embodiments of this specification, the production capacity of the gas well to be evaluated is carried out by substituting the coefficients of the binomial production capacity equation and its original formation pressure into the corresponding binomial gas well production capacity calculation formula. This method is applicable not only to the traditional "one-point method" but also to gas fields with low permeability, strong heterogeneity, and medium-to-high permeability geological characteristics. The establishment of this method overcomes the shortcomings of single-point testing in determining the stable production capacity of gas wells under specific geological conditions, revealing that reliable production capacity evaluation results should refer to both geological characteristics and the "one-point method" production capacity evaluation. This has positive significance for the development design and scale adjustment of carbonate gas fields.

[0111] In the formula, A and B are empirical stability numbers for gas wells, dimensionless; Kh is the formation coefficient from gas well logging, 10 -3 μm 2 ·m, a, a', b, b' are empirical numbers for fitting, and are dimensionless.

[0112] Specifically, the general form of the empirical formula for fitting the relationship between well logging formation coefficients and well logging history data coefficients A and B on the chart is: A = a(Kh) b B = a'(Kh) b' In the formula, A and B are empirical stability numbers for gas wells, dimensionless; Kh is the formation coefficient from gas well logging, 10 -3 μm 2 ·m, a, a', b, b' are empirical numbers for fitting, and are dimensionless.

[0114] Kh = c(φh) 2 +d(φh),

[0115] In the formula, c and d are empirical numbers that are dimensionless; φh is the well logging energy storage coefficient, in m.

[0116] In the embodiments of this specification, in order to obtain the original formation pressure of the gas well, such as Figure 3 As shown, conducting pre-production static pressure testing on the gas wells to be evaluated for production capacity further includes,

[0117] Step 301: Record the stopping point depth and pressure data in the wellbore of the gas well to be evaluated for production capacity using a pressure gauge, and convert the stopping point depth into the stopping point vertical depth;

[0118] Step 302: Fit the pressure gradient of the last two stopping points of the wellbore based on the vertical depth of the stopping point, and calculate the pressure in the middle of the producing layer of the gas well to be evaluated for production capacity based on the pressure gradient, and record it as the original formation pressure.

The pressure gradient is calculated using the following formula:

[0121]

[0122] In the formula, Δp is the pressure gradient, MPa / m; H1 is the vertical depth of the (n-1)th stop point, m; H2 is the vertical depth of the nth stop point, m; p1 is the pressure gradient of the (n-1)th stop point, and p2 is the pressure of the nth stop point.

[0123] In step 206, the static pressure test specifically refers to recording the stopping point depth and pressure data in the gas wellbore through the pressure gauge in the well test, converting the stopping point depth to the stopping point vertical depth, fitting the pressure gradient of the last two stopping points in the wellbore, and calculating the pressure in the middle of the gas well producing layer. This pressure is the original formation pressure.

[0124] The conversion of the stopping point depth to the stopping point vertical depth specifically refers to converting the stopping point depth to the stopping point vertical depth using well inclination data.

[0125] For example, there are 5 stopping points in the gas well shaft. The vertical depth of the 4th stopping point is denoted as H1, the vertical depth of the 5th stopping point is denoted as H2, the pressure of the 4th stopping point is denoted as p1, the pressure of the 5th stopping point is denoted as p2, and the pressure gradient is calculated by formula.

[0126]

[0127] In the formula, Δp is the pressure gradient, MPa / m; H1 is the vertical depth of the 4th stop point, m; H2 is the vertical depth of the 5th stop point, m; p1 is the pressure gradient of the 4th stop point, and p2 is the pressure gradient of the 5th stop point.

[0128] In the embodiments of this specification, calculating the pressure in the middle of the producing formation of the gas well to be evaluated based on the pressure gradient, denoted as the original formation pressure, further includes...

[0129] The formula for calculating the pressure in the middle of the gas well producing zone is as follows:

[0130] p = p² + (H - H²)Δp

[0131] In the formula, p is the pressure in the middle of the gas well producing zone, MPa; p2 is the pressure at the nth stopping point, MPa; H is the vertical depth in the middle of the gas well producing zone, m; H2 is the vertical depth at the nth stopping point, m; Δp is the pressure gradient, MPa / m.

[0132] In the embodiments of this specification, there may be situations where the logging data of a gas well awaiting production capacity evaluation lacks logging formation coefficients. Therefore, the logging formation coefficients are further substituted into the first relational expression corresponding to the type of the gas well awaiting production capacity evaluation.

[0133] If the logging data of the gas well to be evaluated for production capacity is missing the logging formation coefficient, then according to the classification results, the second relationship between the logging storage coefficient and the logging formation coefficient of different types of well tests will be fitted respectively.

[0134] Substituting the well logging storage coefficient of the gas well to be evaluated for production capacity into the second formula, the well logging formation coefficient of the gas well to be evaluated for production capacity is obtained.

[0135] Finally, the coefficients of the binomial productivity equation and the original formation pressure of the gas well to be evaluated are substituted into the gas field's gas well productivity calculation formula to generate the productivity evaluation of the gas well to be evaluated. The gas field's gas well productivity calculation formula is as follows:

[0136]

[0137] In the formula, q AOF This indicates a stable, absolutely unobstructed flow rate from the gas well, 10 4 m 3 / d.

[0138] In the embodiments of this specification, the method of substituting the coefficients of the binomial productivity equation of the gas well to be evaluated and its original formation pressure into the binomial gas well productivity calculation formula to evaluate the gas well productivity is applicable to the traditional "one-point method" and is also applicable to gas fields with low permeability, strong heterogeneity, and medium-to-high permeability geological characteristics. The establishment of this method compensates for the large error in determining the stable productivity of a gas well under specific geological conditions through single-point testing. It reveals that reliable productivity evaluation results should refer to both geological characteristics and the "one-point method" productivity evaluation, which has positive significance for the development design and scale adjustment of carbonate gas fields. Furthermore, the embodiments of this specification can achieve effective evaluation of gas well productivity through empirical formulas and field test data without conducting productivity well tests. The method can effectively reduce the adverse factors of productivity well testing and improve the coverage of gas well productivity evaluation.

[0139] For example, the gas well stability q established using the method of this specification AOF Based on the calculation method, example calculations were performed on different types of gas wells to verify the reliability of the method, and the applicability and limitations of the method were discussed. Before verifying the method, q was first clarified. AOF Verification principle: For wells with good applicability of the conventional "one-point method" (stable empirical number is close to 0.25 and oil test is stable), the results of this method are directly compared with the results of the conventional "one-point method"; for gas wells with a stable empirical number less than 0.25, this method is compared with the results of production capacity testing; (3) For strongly heterogeneous reservoirs (such as fracture-vuggy type II, pore-vuggy type I), the production capacity testing cannot obtain ideal results, so the evaluation results of this method are compared with the actual production effect of the gas well.

[0140] Verification results comparison: The average stable empirical number of the gas field is 0.23, indicating good applicability of the conventional "one-point method". Eleven gas wells were selected for production capacity evaluation results comparison (Table 1). The table shows that 8 out of the 11 gas wells showed good evaluation results using the logging Kh method, consistent with the calculation results of the "one-point method", with relative errors ranging from 2.23% to 50.05%, averaging 29.6%. The production capacity evaluation results of the "one-point method" are basically within the production capacity range calculated by the logging φh method. If the type is III, the lower limit is more reliable; if the type is I, the upper limit is more reliable.

[0141] Table 1 Comparison of Gas Field Production Capacity Evaluation Results

[0142]

[0143] The average stable empirical numbers for the second and third gas fields are 0.04, 0.05, and 0.15, respectively. The results calculated using the conventional "single-point method" are significantly higher than those from production testing. Four gas wells were selected for production capacity evaluation and comparison (Table 2). The table shows that the evaluation results obtained using this method are better, solving the problem of the conventional "single-point method" amplifying production capacity exponentially in this type of gas field. Comparison with production testing results shows that the results are more conservative and can be cross-referenced with the conventional "single-point method" evaluation results to determine gas well production capacity.
