Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments in this specification relate to the field of carbonate gas reservoir development technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for evaluating the seepage hysteresis effect of carbonate gas reservoirs. Background Technology
[0002] Carbonate gas reservoirs refer to geological layers composed of carbonate rocks capable of storing and producing natural gas. Carbonate rocks are mainly composed of minerals such as calcite and dolomite, which readily form various pores and fractures during sedimentation, providing excellent pathways for the accumulation and migration of natural gas. Due to the typically complex pore structure and strong heterogeneity of carbonate reservoirs, high-speed injection and production processes can impede gas flow, causing actual gas seepage velocity or pressure changes to lag behind expected or theoretical changes, resulting in seepage lag. This phenomenon not only affects the efficiency of gas reservoir production but also significantly impacts reservoir evaluation and development strategies, thereby increasing the difficulty of oil and gas exploration and development.
[0003] By evaluating the seepage lag effect, we can gain a more accurate understanding of the reservoir's storage capacity and fluid flow characteristics, thereby optimizing the extraction strategy. However, existing technologies lack methods for evaluating the seepage lag effect in carbonate gas reservoirs during high-speed injection and production. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a quantitative evaluation method for the seepage lag effect in carbonate gas reservoirs. Summary of the Invention

[0079] Reference Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this specification, a method for evaluating the seepage hysteresis effect in carbonate gas reservoirs is provided. The method includes:
[0080] S101: Acquire seismic data of the target reservoir.
[0081] S102: Determine the morphological characteristics of seismic ant bodies and the development characteristics of outcrops and cavities in the target reservoir based on the seismic data.
[0082] S103: Based on the morphological characteristics of the earthquake ants and the development characteristics of outcrops and cavities, a digital core simulation model of cavity development is constructed.
[0083] S104: Simulate the digital core simulation model of fracture and cavity development, and determine the fluid flow characteristics of the fracture and cavity zone and matrix zone in the target reservoir based on the simulation results.
[0084] S105: The seepage hysteresis characteristic parameter is calculated based on the fluid flow characteristic data, wherein the seepage hysteresis characteristic parameter is used to characterize the time difference between the fluid reaching a pseudo-steady state in the crevice region and reaching a pseudo-steady state in the matrix region.
[0085] S106: Evaluate the seepage hysteresis effect of the target reservoir based on the seepage hysteresis characteristic parameters.
[0086] The method for evaluating the seepage lag effect of carbonate gas reservoirs provided in this specification uses seepage lag characteristic parameters to characterize the time difference between the fluid reaching a pseudo-steady state in high-permeability fractured-vuggy areas and in low-permeability matrix areas, thereby enabling a quantitative evaluation of the seepage lag effect of the target reservoir based on the seepage lag characteristic parameters.
[0087] In the embodiments of this specification, in step S101, the target reservoir is a fractured-vuggy gas reservoir in a carbonate gas reservoir. In terms of static characteristics, the core of a fractured-vuggy reservoir has a multi-medium medium structure, with small- to medium-scale fractures and cavities predominating. The porosity-permeability relationship includes two distribution characteristics: fracture-type and fracture-vuggy reservoirs. The reservoir matrix is low-porosity and low-permeability, while locally developed fracture sections exhibit high permeability. In terms of dynamic characteristics, the production curves of production wells in fractured-vuggy gas reservoirs show high initial production but a short stable production period. For example, the initial production exceeds 1 million cubic meters per well, but the average stable production period is only 2 years. This indicates that the fractured-vuggy gas reservoir initially extracts gas from the high-permeability areas of the fractures and cavities, but due to the short stable production period, the gas is quickly depleted. When gas is extracted from the low-permeability areas, the flow rate in the low-permeability areas decreases due to untimely gas replenishment. Well test interpretation of production data reveals that fractured-vuggy gas reservoirs exhibit radial flow characteristics of dual media or strong heterogeneity. Specifically, the production process shows a high-permeability fractured-vuggy zone near the wellbore and a low-permeability zone further away, indicating a lag in gas flow within the reservoir. Furthermore, the pressure drop-reserve curve of the fractured-vuggy gas reservoir shows a significant two-stage characteristic; the upward curve in the later stage indicates gas replenishment from the low-permeability zone to the high-permeability zone, further suggesting a seepage lag. Dynamic characteristics show that the high-permeability fractured-vuggy zone provides more fluid flow channels due to its high reservoir permeability and well-developed fractures and vuggies, making fluid flow relatively easy. In contrast, the low-permeability matrix zone has low permeability, high fluid flow resistance, and a dense matrix, making fluid flow difficult. This can lead to differences in the time it takes for fluid pressure to reach a steady state in different areas, resulting in a seepage lag effect.
[0088] To further explore the underlying causes of seepage lag, three-dimensional numerical models of three different fracture-vuggy reservoir development patterns were constructed based on the seismic ant body morphology and outcrop fracture-vuggy development characteristics. Figures 2-4 As shown, Figure 2 It is a model with good connectivity and development of the suture cavity. Figure 3 It is a model of partially connected development of suture-like openings. Figure 4This model represents a partially developed and weakly connected fracture-vuggy reservoir. A model with well-developed fracture-vuggy structures and good connectivity indicates a reservoir with both well-developed fractures and vuggies and good connectivity; wells in this model are generally high-yield wells. A model with partially developed and partially connected fractures and vuggies indicates a reservoir with well-developed fractures and vuggies but slightly poorer connectivity; wells in this model are generally medium-yield wells. A model with partially developed and weakly connected fractures and vuggies indicates a reservoir with moderately developed fractures and vuggies and narrow points between them, significantly affecting fluid flow; wells in this model are relatively low-yield wells. Fracture-vuggy reservoirs exhibit diverse fracture-vuggy development. The three models described above represent different combinations of fracture-vuggy reservoirs. Three digital core models were established based on these three fracture-vuggy styles for numerical simulation. The simulation results yielded microscopic seepage characteristics between high-permeability fractures and vuggies and low-permeability matrix, revealing that fracture-vuggy reservoirs do indeed exhibit seepage hysteresis characteristics at the microscopic level. First, based on the 3D seismic interpretation results, the ant-like bodies of the fracture-vuggy reservoir and the morphology of fractures and cavities developed on outcrops are obtained. Then, the macroscopic fractures and cavities are scaled down proportionally to form a simplified diagram of the central fracture-vuggy pattern, thereby generating a 3D digital core model. The center of the digital core is a miniature fracture-vuggy body, which can then be used for numerical simulation. Figures 2-4 As shown, the three-dimensional numerical models of the above three types of fractured-vuggy reservoirs are characterized based on the fractured-vuggy bodies developed in the reservoirs. To further differentiate connectivity, Figure 2 The model features a through-crack carved in the center of the slit, thus maximizing connectivity. Figure 3 The model only sculpted half of the crack connecting to the boundary, indicating strong connectivity. Figure 4 The model is depicted by the invisible slits on the surface, without any additional sculpted cracks to increase connectivity, thus making this model the least connected.
[0089] Solving the simulation model yields the pressure and velocity of the fluid at any point and time within the fractured cavity and matrix during the 3D digital core simulation, essentially allowing visualization of the fluid flow state within the fractured cavity and matrix. Simulation results reveal a significant convergence of fluid into the fractured cavity system under constant pressure differential. The pressure drop propagates to the fractured cavity boundary, and the matrix cannot replenish the fluid in time, leading to a decrease in outlet flow. Analysis of the simulation results shows that the velocity difference between the fluid in the fractured cavity and the matrix can reach 14-40 times, and the maximum pressure drop rate in the fractured cavity system is 17-35 times that of the matrix, resulting in flow imbalance. Furthermore, the fluid flow exhibits two quasi-steady-state stages: the fluid in the fractured cavity system reaches a quasi-steady state after the pressure drop propagates to the fractured cavity boundary, and the overall flow system finally reaches a quasi-steady state after the pressure is transmitted into the matrix. Therefore, it can be concluded that the untimely replenishment of the low-permeability matrix to the high-permeability fractured cavity leads to seepage lag. Based on field practice and simulation results from the aforementioned digital core model, it is evident that high-speed injection and production conditions lead to significant seepage lag in fractured-vuggy reservoirs. To quantitatively study this phenomenon, this specification defines the seepage lag effect in fractured-vuggy reservoirs as the time difference between the quasi-steady state reached by the high-permeability fractured-vuggy zone and the quasi-steady state reached by the low-permeability matrix zone. The physical meaning of the seepage lag effect is that due to differences in flow regime and velocity in different media, coupled with the diversity of fractured-vuggy combinations, the flow characteristics become discontinuous as pressure drop propagates.
[0090] In the embodiments of this specification, in step S101, the seismic data of the target reservoir can be acquired using seismic exploration instruments. Acquisition parameters include excitation parameters (such as excitation well depth), arrangement parameters (such as minimum shot-receiver distance, maximum shot-receiver distance, cell size, receiver spacing, and offset aperture), and receiving parameters (such as receiver combination distance and combination characteristics). After acquiring the seismic data, it needs to be processed, including denoising, filtering, stacking, and migration steps, to obtain processed seismic data that more clearly reflects the structure and characteristics of the reservoir.
[0091] In the embodiments of this specification, step S102 involves analyzing and processing seismic data to obtain the morphological characteristics of seismic ant bodies and the development characteristics of outcrops in fracture-vuggy reservoirs. These two characteristics reflect the distribution and development features of fractures and cavities within the reservoir. Seismic ant bodies are three-dimensional models or images obtained using ant-tracking technology, reflecting geological structures such as underground fractures and faults. Each data point (or "ant") has certain characteristics (such as data value, gradient, and neighborhood). Outcrop fracture-vuggy development characteristics mainly describe the development of fractures and cavities in surface or shallow rock strata. These fractures and cavities are typically formed by geological processes (such as weathering, erosion, and tectonic movements). Interpreting the seismic data yields the morphological characteristics of seismic ant bodies, i.e., the location and morphology of fracture-vuggy bodies within the strata. Outcrops are the exposed portions of strata on the ground; their development characteristics can be obtained through observation and mapping.
[0092] In this embodiment of the specification, in step S103, firstly, image processing technology is used to identify fracture traces from the ant body. After identifying the fracture traces, tracking algorithms or image processing technology are used to extract these traces. The extracted fracture traces should include information such as the location, direction, length, and width of the fractures. Secondly, based on the extracted fracture traces, a preliminary fracture system is constructed, that is, the fracture traces are converted into fracture surfaces or fracture networks in three-dimensional space. Then, attributes such as fracture aperture, permeability, and porosity are assigned to the fracture system according to the development characteristics of outcrops and cavities. Based on the comparison between the geological model and actual data, the fracture system is optimized, including adjusting the location, direction, length, and width of the fractures, and modifying the attribute values of the fractures, so that the fracture system is more in line with the actual geological conditions, thereby meeting the needs of fluid flow simulation. Then, according to the geometry and size of the target reservoir, the digital core model is divided into grids, the optimized fracture system is embedded into the corresponding positions in the model grid, and the permeability, porosity, and other attributes of the grid are updated. After the model is constructed, it is validated using actual seismic data. Based on the validation results, the digital core model is adjusted and optimized as necessary to ensure that the model can accurately reflect the fracture system and related properties of the reservoir.
[0093] In the embodiments of this specification, step S104 uses the Brinkman model, which can describe multi-scale seepage problems. Considering both the matrix and the fissures, numerical simulation is conducted by modifying the Navier-Stokes equations. The equations used are as follows:
[0094]
[0095]
[0096] The first formula is based on the equation established by the conservation of mass, and the second formula is based on the equation established by the conservation of momentum. εp Porosity is represented by ρ; fluid density is represented by g / cm³. 3 Q m Indicates mass source, unit g / (cm³) 3 •s); u represents velocity vector, unit m / s; p represents pressure, unit MPa; μ represents fluid viscosity, unit mPa·s; κ represents permeability of the matrix, unit mD; F represents force, unit g / (cm²). 2 ·s 2 ); Let represent the partial differential equation coincidence, t represent time, T represent the transpose, and I represent the identity matrix. This represents the Hamiltonian operator.
[0097] Given initial conditions, boundary conditions, and fluid viscosity parameters, the above formula can be simplified. Then, a numerical simulation of the reservoir seepage hysteresis effect can be carried out. The lattice Boltzmann method is used for the solution, and the equations are as follows:
[0098]
[0099]
[0100] Where u represents the velocity vector, ε p ρ represents porosity, p represents fluid density, μ represents fluid viscosity, and κ represents the permeability of the matrix. This indicates that the partial differential equations coincide, and t represents time. Let represent the Hamiltonian operator, and Δ represent the Laplace operator.
[0101] In the embodiments of this specification, in step S104, the fluid flow characteristic data includes the channeling coefficient and the reservoir capacity ratio. The channeling coefficient describes the ease of fluid exchange between fractures and the matrix in a dual-porosity reservoir, reflecting the ability of fluid in the matrix to channel into the fractures. The reservoir capacity ratio is the ratio of the elastic storage capacity of the fracture system to the total elastic storage capacity of the reservoir, describing the relative magnitude of the elastic storage capacity of the fractures and the matrix. (Refer to...) Figure 5 The step of determining the fluid flow characteristic data of the fractured-vuggy zone and matrix zone in the target reservoir based on simulation results includes:
[0102] S501: Determine the volume ratio of fractures and voids and the volume ratio of matrix in the target reservoir based on the simulation results.
[0103] S502: The reservoir capacity ratio is calculated based on the proportion of fracture and cavity volume and the proportion of matrix volume in the target reservoir.
[0104] S503: Determine the crossflow coefficient of the target reservoir from a pre-constructed ternary map of reservoir crossflow coefficients based on the reservoir capacity ratio, wherein the ternary map of reservoir crossflow coefficients stores the reservoir capacity ratio and crossflow coefficient under different fracture-vuggy and matrix volume ratios.
[0105] Specifically, the storage capacity ratio can be calculated using the following formula:
[0106]
[0107] Where φ1 represents the average porosity of the high-permeability fracture-vuggy zone, φ2 represents the average porosity of the low-permeability matrix zone, r1 represents the radius of the high-permeability fracture-vuggy zone, and r2 represents the radius of the low-permeability matrix zone. Based on the reservoir capacity ratio calculated in step S502 and the known fracture-vuggy volume ratio and matrix volume ratio, the corresponding channeling coefficient is found from the pre-constructed ternary reservoir channeling coefficient chart.
[0108] In some embodiments of this specification, the process of constructing the ternary plot of the reservoir channeling coefficient includes:
[0109] Several digital core simulation models were constructed, with each model having a different proportion of fracture-cavity volume and matrix volume.
[0110] The corresponding reservoir ratio is calculated based on the proportion of fracture and cavity volume and the proportion of matrix volume in each digital core simulation model;
[0111] Numerical simulations were performed on the aforementioned digital core simulation models to obtain production prediction data for each digital core simulation model.
[0112] Based on the production prediction data, well test interpretation is performed on each digital core simulation model to obtain the crossflow coefficient of each digital core simulation model;
[0113] Based on the aforementioned flow coefficient and reservoir capacity ratio, a ternary graph of reservoir flow coefficient under different fracture and matrix volume ratios is constructed.
[0114] like Figure 6 As shown, the ternary chart of reservoir channeling coefficient is a graph plotted with matrix, fracture, and vulcanization as the coordinate axes. Each point represents a specific proportion of matrix, fracture, and vulcanization models, corresponding to a reservoir capacity ratio and a channeling coefficient. Using this ternary chart, the channeling coefficient of reservoirs with different proportions of matrix, fracture, and vulcanization can be obtained conveniently and quickly, thereby evaluating the seepage hysteresis effect of reservoirs with different fracture-vulcanization combinations.
[0115] In the embodiments of this specification, the calculation of seepage hysteresis characteristic parameters based on the fluid flow characteristic data includes:
[0116] The seepage hysteresis characteristic parameters are calculated using the following formula:
[0117]
[0118] Among them, W 滞后 The parameters represent seepage hysteresis characteristics, ω represents the reservoir ratio, λ represents the channeling coefficient, a represents the bedrock morphology factor, and r represents the seepage hysteresis characteristic parameter. w Indicates the radius of the bottom of the well.
[0119] This can be understood as follows: based on the above-mentioned digital core simulation and theoretical research results, the seepage hysteresis effect is defined as the time difference between the quasi-steady state reached in the high-permeability fractured cavity zone and the quasi-steady state reached in the low-permeability matrix zone. Therefore, the embodiments in this specification use the seepage hysteresis effect characteristic parameters to quantitatively characterize the seepage hysteresis effect of fluid between the high-permeability fractured cavity zone and the low-permeability matrix. From Figure 7 It can be intuitively seen that the characteristic parameter of the seepage hysteresis effect is the ratio of the time t1 when the seepage in the cavity reaches a pseudo-steady state to the time t2 when the entire flow system reaches a pseudo-steady state after the pressure drop funnel further transfers to the matrix. The expression for the characteristic parameter of the seepage hysteresis effect is derived based on the seepage theory equation. The derivation process is as follows:
[0120]
[0121] Among them, W 滞后 The parameters represent the seepage hysteresis characteristics, where t1 represents the time when the seepage in the fractured cavity reaches a pseudo-steady state, t2 represents the time when the entire flow system reaches a pseudo-steady state after the pressure drop funnel transfers to the matrix, φ1 represents the average porosity of the high-permeability fractured cavity region, φ2 represents the average porosity of the low-permeability matrix region, μ represents the viscosity of the fluid, and C... t R represents the overall compressibility coefficient of the formation, r1 represents the radius of the high-permeability fracture-vuggy zone, r2 represents the radius of the low-permeability matrix zone, K1 represents the average permeability of the high-permeability fracture-vuggy zone, K2 represents the average permeability of the low-permeability matrix zone, ω represents the reservoir ratio, λ represents the channeling coefficient, and a represents the fracture shape factor. w The expression indicates that the seepage hysteresis effect is strongly correlated with the reservoir capacity ratio and channeling coefficient of fractured-vuggy reservoirs. The seepage hysteresis characteristic parameter is in the range [0,1], and when W... 滞后 A value approaching 0 indicates a stronger heterogeneity and a more significant seepage hysteresis effect. 滞后 A value approaching 1 indicates that the reservoir is becoming homogeneous and the seepage hysteresis effect has disappeared.
