Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon dioxide geological storage technology, specifically to a method and equipment for rapid prediction of reservoir pressure in two-phase flow under multi-well interference. Background Technology
[0002] In large scale In the process of geological sealing site selection and risk assessment, accurate prediction of bottomhole pressure is crucial for assessing caprock integrity, preventing rock fracturing, and preventing [other risks]. Leakage along the wellbore is of paramount importance. The key challenge is how to predict leaks quickly and with physical rigor without relying on massive numerical simulations. The accumulation and evolution of bottom hole pressure during injection into saline aquifers is a key technical bottleneck that urgently needs to be overcome to meet the real-time dynamic control requirements of engineering sites.
[0003] Current predictions of wellbore injection pressure primarily rely on high-precision numerical simulation methods capable of handling complex heterogeneous formations and multiphysics coupling problems. Conventional... Numerical modeling of storage sites involves millions of meshes, and a single simulation often takes hours or even days, making it difficult to meet the needs of dynamic adjustments based on real-time monitoring data in engineering projects. Secondly, numerical simulations place extremely high demands on computing hardware and the professional background of operators, hindering efficient application in actual production. In contrast, while existing analytical or semi-analytical formulas for wellbore pressure prediction offer the advantage of rapid calculation, they are limited by the complexity of the process. There are still serious deficiencies in characterizing the physical mechanisms of formation fluid storage. On the one hand, traditional analytical formulas often simplify formation fluids into single-phase flow, failing to fully consider the injection process. The two-phase displacement characteristics between water and saltwater. Ignoring Darcy's law and differences in fluid properties (such as viscosity and relative permeability) between the two phases leads to a lack of rigorous physical basis for predicting pressure accumulation patterns. On the other hand, large-scale... Sealing sites typically involve the coordinated operation of multiple wells. Existing analytical models often focus on the injection behavior of a single well, lacking consideration of the pressure superposition interference between adjacent acquisition and injection wells, making it difficult to accurately reproduce the distribution pattern of formation pore pressure in a multi-well system.
