[0091] The cavity well can be viewed as a U-shaped pipe, with the inner pipe as one side of the U-shape and the annulus between the inner and outer pipes as the other side. The depth of the inner pipe is H. in Taking the connection point of the U-shaped pipe as an example, the wellhead injection pressure P is derived based on the principle of liquid column pressure balance at the connection point. iw Wellhead injection pressure includes both forward circulation injection pressure and reverse circulation injection pressure; the method for calculating wellhead injection pressure based on head loss along the flow path is as follows:

[0092] Positive cycle: P iw正 =P deb +ρ in gh f1 +ρ anu gh f2 +(ρ anu -ρ in )gH in ;

[0095] In this embodiment, the inner tube of the cavity is considered as one side of a U-shaped tube, and the annulus between the outer tube of the cavity and the production casing is considered as the other side of the U-shaped tube. The oil-water interface depth H GB Treating the connection point of the U-shaped pipe as the point of connection, the calculated head loss along the pipe h is used. f1 Substituting the values, we can obtain the oil pad pressure, including the forward circulation oil pad pressure and the reverse circulation oil pad pressure; the method for calculating the oil pad pressure based on the head loss along the flow path is as follows:

[0096] Positive cycle: P oil Positive = P iw正 -ρ in gh f1 +ρ in gH in -ρ anu g(H in -H GB )-ρ oil gH GB );

[0097] Anti-loop: P oil =P deb +ρ oil gH GB -ρ in gh f1 -ρ oil gH GB ;

[0098] Among them, P oil正 For the circulating oil pad pressure, P oil负 For the reverse circulation oil pad pressure, ρ oil H is the density of diesel fuel. GB The depth of the solvent barrier interface.

The gas-water interface depth H GB This is used as a connection point in a U-shaped tube, forming another U-shaped tube. Based on the principle of liquid column pressure balance at the connection point, the wellhead nitrogen pressure is derived. The nitrogen pressure includes both forward and reverse circulation nitrogen pressures. The method for calculating the wellhead nitrogen pressure is as follows:

[0104] Assume the pressure on the downhole nitrogen is equal to the wellhead pressure P. 注气 Pressure P at the gas-water interface at the bottom of the well 界面 The average value can be derived from the gas law, which gives the volume V of nitrogen under standard conditions. 地面 The calculation formula is as follows:

[0106] In this embodiment, the head loss along the friction is h f1 h f2 The Darcy-Weschbach formula in fluid mechanics was used for calculation, and the result was derived as follows:

[0107] Where, λ in The friction coefficient along the inner tube, λ anu Here, Hot is the friction coefficient along the annulus between the inner and outer tubes, and Hot is the depth of the outer tube in meters; D is the friction coefficient along the annulus between the inner and outer tubes. ininn Inner tube inner diameter, m; D inot Inner tube outer diameter, m; D otinn Outer pipe inner diameter, m; Q water injection discharge rate, m 3 / h.

For the inner pipe, D = D ininn For annular flows between inner and outer pipes, the equivalent diameter can be introduced to transform the annular flow into circular pipe flow with equivalent resistance for calculation, D = D otinn -D ininn .

[0110] First, based on the Reynolds number R... e Determine the flow pattern, and then calculate λ using the corresponding formula. The Reynolds number Re calculation formula is shown in Table 1. Δ represents the absolute roughness of the tubing, in mm; the empirical value for the Jintan area is 0.035 mm for the inner tube and 1.2 mm for the annular space between the inner and outer tubes. ε represents the relative roughness of the tubing. Table 1

[0111] By comparing the calculated oil pad pressure or air pad pressure with the actual field monitoring values, it is possible to effectively determine whether the solvent barrier interface has shifted, thus ensuring the monitoring of the solvent barrier interface position. Finally, the diesel solvent barrier interface depth can be obtained as follows.

[0112] Positive circulation: h injection depth = (P) disel -P Inner pipe water injection pressure +Pf-(ρ) w -ρ b )gh inner tube depth / 10 6 / ((ρ b - ρ blanket ) / 10 6 );

[0115] The gas-water interface depth is calculated based on the volume formula; the pressure at the bottom gas-water interface is calculated based on the gas-water interface depth.

[0116] The gas-water interface depth includes the forward circulation gas-water interface depth and the reverse circulation gas-water interface depth; the method for calculating the depth of the gas-water interface at the bottom of the well based on the wellhead discharge pressure is as follows:

[0117] make By performing a Taylor series expansion on the static volume formula, we obtain the positive cyclic expansion formula and the negative cyclic expansion formula.

[0118] Positive cyclic expansion formula:

[0119] Anti-loop expansion formula:

[0120] Solving the positive and negative loop expansion formulas separately yields:

[0121] Where, ρ 环空 For, ρ 内管 For, P 注气 For, α is the nitrogen pressure correction factor, H 界面正 H represents the depth at the gas-water interface at the bottom of the positive circulation well. 界面负 This refers to the depth at the gas-water interface at the bottom of the negative circulation well.

This mathematical model comprehensively considers key factors such as wellhead pressure, depth, solvent properties, oil pad hydrodynamic behavior, and solvent-inhibiting interface changes during the cavity-building process to predict the oil pad pressure and solvent-inhibiting interface depth.

[0125] In this embodiment, various data generated in real time during the cavity creation process are collected, such as cavity volume, cavity creation progress, oil pad pressure, solvent barrier interface depth, wellhead pressure, and key parameters related to changes in subsurface conditions. This data comes not only from real-time monitoring equipment but also from historical data and design parameters acquired during construction. Based on this data and the predicted values, a comprehensive dynamic tracking and analysis framework is constructed.

[0126] In this embodiment, firstly, based on real-time pressure data during the cavity-building process, the wellhead pressure is predicted using the mathematical model of the solvent-inhibiting wellhead pressure. For example, the rate of change of wellhead pressure is calculated based on wellhead pressure, depth D, solvent density, fluid viscosity μ, and solvent flow rate v during the cavity-building process. Next, the oil pad pressure is calculated based on the relationship between wellhead depth D and solvent interface depth.

[0127] Secondly, based on the dynamic relationship between oil pad pressure and solvent barrier interface depth, the interface depth is determined using the mathematical model of the solvent barrier interface depth. For example, considering the fluid motion characteristics of the solvent barrier during the cavity creation process and the influence of depth changes on the interface position, the depth change of the solvent barrier interface is calculated; all depth changes within the current stage are summed to obtain the solvent barrier interface depth during the cavity creation process.

[0128] This application establishes a mathematical model of wellhead pressure and depth based on the solvent-inhibiting agent, and comprehensively analyzes the dynamic changes in wellhead pressure, oil pad dynamics, and the solvent-inhibiting interface. This model enables accurate prediction of oil pad pressure and solvent-inhibiting interface depth during the cavity-building process. This method effectively improves the accuracy of parameter prediction during cavity-building, provides a scientific basis for the stability of cavity-building operations, and thus helps optimize the cavity-building process, improve resource utilization, and ensure safe and efficient construction progress.

[0129] During dynamic tracking and analysis, a pre-constructed mathematical model for cavity creation dynamic tracking and analysis is used to compare actual monitoring data with theoretical predictions. This comparative analysis allows for real-time assessment of deviations during the cavity creation process. For example, when the actual oil pad pressure deviates significantly from the predicted value, adjustments can be made to the construction operation in a timely manner to ensure the stability of the cavity creation process. Simultaneously, the real-time monitoring and comparison of the solvent-inhibiting interface depth with calculation results can reveal changes in underground conditions, such as the cavity expansion rate or the distribution of the solvent-inhibiting agent, thus providing guidance for construction.

[0130] Furthermore, by combining the current cavity volume with the cumulative cavity volume data, the cavity construction progress can be dynamically tracked. For example, by comparing the current daily cavity volume with the predicted volume, potential delays or advancements in construction progress can be identified. Based on this information, the construction team can flexibly adjust the cavity construction plan, optimize resource allocation and personnel scheduling, and ensure the project is completed on schedule.

[0131] Based on real-time changes in oil pad pressure and solvent interface depth, dynamic analysis using the mathematical model can further predict potential risks during cavity creation, such as cavity collapse, solvent failure, or abnormal increases in oil pad pressure. These dynamic analyses help improve the safety of the cavity creation process and prevent major accidents.

[0132] Based on various input cavity-building data, including well information, daily cavity-building reports, sonar cavity measurement data, and cavity-building design parameters, the cavity-building data is stored and organized, presented in the form of graphs and tables to facilitate user monitoring of the cavity-building status. Simultaneously, based on the cavity-building data, mathematical models are used to calculate predicted values ​​such as cavity volume, cavity-building progress, and fitted oil pad pressure. Integrating these data yields dynamic tracking and analysis results. In some embodiments, cavity-building adjustments can be made based on predicted values, or compared with actual values ​​to identify abnormal cavity-building phenomena.

[0133] Presenting the results of dynamic tracking analysis. First, input the cavity data. In some embodiments, this data can be presented through a software interface. For example, click on Drilling Information on the main software interface to enter the well information input interface. Input information includes well name, well type, structural location, artificial bottom, thickness, insoluble matter, etc. Insoluble matter information can be automatically imported from an Excel spreadsheet and can be displayed in the sonar cavity shape interface. After inputting, click OK to save. After establishing the well information, other relevant information for that well can be input.

[0134] In the cavity design parameter input interface, first select the well number, then click "Add Stage" and enter the cavity design parameters for this stage. Enter the cavity stage, start time, end time, previous sonar volume, circulation method, injection volume, stage time, remaining total cavity time, design oil-water interface depth, inner tube depth, outer tube depth, design stage volume, design total volume, remarks, average insoluble content, expansion coefficient, pure salt density, solvent type, solvent density, inner tube absolute roughness, and responsible person. Click the "Export" button to export the cavity parameters. Alternatively, click the "Delete" button to delete a stage. Selecting any cavity stage and clicking the "Insert" button will insert a new cavity stage below it.

[0135] In the cavity stomata daily report import interface, you can click the "Select File" button to choose a cavity stomata daily report file for import, or click "Select Path," and the software will automatically recognize the cavity stomata daily report file. Clicking the well number allows you to change the corresponding well for import, or you can click "Modify Well Number" to modify all well numbers. After confirming that the correspondence between the cavity stomata daily report and the well numbers is accurate, click "Upload" to save.

[0136] Next, the cavity creation data or calculated data are displayed in the form of tables, charts, graphs, and progress tables to enable users to perform cavity creation analysis and monitoring.

[0137] The daily report display interface for single-well cavity construction allows you to view the daily cavity construction report for each well. You can select a single well by clicking the well number, select a time period by selecting the start and end dates, and then select the desired daily cavity construction report by clicking the date in the lower left corner. This interface allows you to monitor daily cavity construction parameters, such as oil pad pressure, brine concentration, and cavity volume. It provides timely updates on the daily cavity construction status of each well.

[0138] The single-well cavity creation daily report display interface organizes the cavity creation data into a row list format, which helps users monitor changes in cavity creation data over a period of time. Clicking the well number selects the well to display, selecting the start and end dates adjusts the display period, and checking the cavity creation parameters selects the cavity creation data to be displayed. Clicking the filter button allows filtering of the displayed cavity creation data; for example, selecting the injection fluid volume (point 9) filters out data outside the range of 1-1000. This embodiment of the application's interface includes a data export function; clicking the central EXCEL chart exports the displayed data to an EXCEL file, facilitating data analysis using other software.

[0139] The daily chart monitoring interface for single-well cavity construction displays cavity production data as curves, and also shows data calculated using mathematical models, such as solvent pressure fitting. Users can also click the "Custom" button to combine and calculate cavity construction data and display it as a curve. Selecting the well number and the time period for display, along with checking the parameters below, allows users to adjust the range of the curve's vertical axis by clicking the scale button. This interface displays cavity construction production data for a single well over a period of time as a curve, enabling users to easily observe the changing patterns of a specific cavity construction parameter over a period, assess the cavity construction status, and better monitor cavity construction.

[0140] The cavity construction progress monitoring interface allows monitoring of the cycle method, previous sonar volume, stage cavity construction volume, stage cavity construction progress, total cavity construction volume, and project progress. The cavity construction progress is displayed as a progress bar for easier understanding. Clicking the refresh button refreshes the cavity construction data, or clicking the EXCEL chart exports the displayed data to an EXCEL file. Clicking the filter well number button selects the well numbers to display. During cavity construction progress monitoring, when a stage cavity construction progress approaches 100%, that stage is nearing completion, and preparations for well closure and sonar cavity measurement should be made in advance. When the overall cavity construction progress approaches 100%, the cavity construction project for that well is nearing completion, and preparations for sonar cavity measurement and injection-production completion should be made in advance.

[0141] The sonar shape monitoring interface displays the cavity shape of a single well from a single sonar measurement or multiple sonar measurements, facilitating cavity shape monitoring. Clicking the well number selects the well to display; clicking the sonar file displays a single sonar file; or pressing CTRL+clicking the sonar file selects multiple sonar files for display. The sonar shape graph displays the cavity radius on the horizontal axis and the cavity depth on the vertical axis. The right side of the graph also shows the sonar measurement number, measurement time, and cavity volume parameters. Clicking the angle progress bar selects the azimuth angle for the sonar shape display; checking the insoluble matter button displays the distribution of insoluble matter; and checking the distance measurement button performs distance measurements.

[0142] The sonar cavity scheduling interface automatically schedules single-well cavity plans according to the completion time sequence of cavity construction in each single-well stage, and displays them in the form of calendar markers for easy scheduling by the user. This application also provides a cavity morphology correction method, which includes the following steps:

[0143] Obtain dynamic tracking and analysis results. First, input cavity creation data. Well information includes well name, well location coordinates, insoluble matter distribution, etc.; daily cavity creation report files are automatically read to obtain brine discharge concentration, water injection discharge rate, brine discharge rate, etc.; sonar logging data files; cavity creation design parameters are input, including cavity creation design parameters: cavity creation stage, circulation mode, injection volume, stage time, design oil-water interface depth, outer tube depth, inner tube depth, design stage volume, design total volume, average insoluble matter content, insoluble matter expansion coefficient, pure salt density, solvent type, solvent density, inner tube absolute roughness, etc.

[0144] Next, data charts are displayed. The charts mainly include well location map display, single-chamber daily report display, single-chamber daily parameter statistics display, single-chamber daily chart display, cavity construction progress display, sonar cavity shape display, oil-water interface test report, and oil-water interface test chart.

[0145] Simultaneously, the calculation performs parameter fitting and parameter combination. Functions include oil pad pressure or air pad pressure fitting, cavity volume fitting, and cavity parameter combination calculation. By comparing theoretical calculation values ​​with actual values, cavity parameters can be monitored.

[0146] Finally, the system automatically monitors the cavity parameters. Monitoring conditions for these parameters can be set, and the system will automatically prompt the user to adjust the parameters if the actual cavity parameters do not meet these conditions.

[0147] In some embodiments, the dynamic tracking analysis results can be obtained using the above-described cavity creation dynamic tracking analysis method, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0148] Finally, cavity morphology correction can be performed. When the cavity volume does not reach the design value or the insoluble interlayer fails to collapse, resulting in deformities or dissolution at the bottom of the cavity, appropriate positive circulation adjustments are necessary. For example, taking well JT3 in a certain area as an example, the fourth sonar result showed that the cavity volume was 12,000 m³ less than the design value. 3 If reverse circulation is used, the lower cavity cannot be effectively expanded because the water injection point is at the top. Therefore, forward circulation is used in the next stage, lowering the inner tube to the bottom of the cavity for expansion. Numerical simulations show that, with the same cavity diameter, the final cavity volume can be increased by 25825.2 m³. 3 The ninth sonar reading in well JT4 revealed a rock ridge formed by insoluble interlayers at a depth of 1,110 m. During subsequent cavity construction stages, the cavity casing was lowered to this depth, and positive circulation was used for repeated repairs, ultimately dissolving the rock ridge. Therefore, appropriate use of positive circulation can effectively repair and expand the cavity.

[0149] This application utilizes dynamic tracking and analysis to acquire real-time data on various parameters during cavity construction. Combined with results from sonar cavity shape monitoring and oil-water interface testing, it can promptly identify issues such as insufficient cavity volume and failure of insoluble interlayers to collapse. Based on this, cavity construction parameters are monitored through parameter fitting and combined calculations, and the system automatically prompts the user for adjustments when necessary. Furthermore, by employing adjustment methods such as positive circulation, it effectively corrects problems such as cavity bottom deformities and partial dissolution, significantly improving the cavity expansion effect. For example, numerical simulations and actual sonar logging data show that the application of positive circulation can increase cavity volume and eliminate rock ridge problems caused by insoluble interlayers, thereby achieving precise repair and optimization of the cavity morphology and improving overall cavity construction efficiency and stability.

[0150] This application, by comprehensively utilizing real-time data and predicted values, employs a dynamic tracking and analysis model for cavity creation to conduct real-time dynamic monitoring and analysis, effectively improving the accuracy, stability, and safety of cavity creation construction. Simultaneously, the feedback from real-time data supports engineering decision-making, enabling the cavity creation project to proceed efficiently and smoothly under dynamic conditions. This dynamic tracking and analysis method provides an important tool for optimizing and managing the cavity creation process, significantly improving resource utilization efficiency and project management flexibility. Furthermore, by establishing mathematical models for calculating and simulating various parameters, this application compares the calculation results with actual on-site results, enabling timely detection of cavity creation anomalies and ensuring cavity creation quality.
