Description

Methods and apparatus for determining high-pressure physical properties of foamed oil

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411929480.X, filed on December 25, 2024, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Determining High-Pressure Physical Property Parameters of Foam Oil”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of oil reservoir development technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for determining the high-pressure physical property parameters of foamed oil. Background Technology

[0003] Currently, with global conventional oil and gas resources becoming increasingly depleted, the importance of unconventional petroleum resources such as foam oil is becoming increasingly prominent. During the depressurization and cold production process of foam oil reservoirs, the dissolved gas released does not immediately coalesce to form a continuous gas phase for rapid production. Instead, it remains in the oil phase as dispersed bubbles, flowing with the crude oil, forming the so-called "foam oil flow." This continues until the pressure drops below the pseudo-foam point pressure (the pressure point at which dispersed bubbles begin to coalesce in large numbers, producing a continuous gas phase), at which point the oil and gas finally separate, becoming conventional dissolved gas drive.

[0004] However, in actual field production, due to limitations such as production conditions, frequent well shutdowns and restarts, or even the complete shutdown of the oilfield, during the depressurization and cold extraction process of foamed oil reservoirs, will lead to the reservoir being in a non-equilibrium production state. Foamed oil is a thermodynamically non-equilibrium system. During the shutdown phase, the pressure drop rate and production pressure difference tend to be zero, and the dispersed bubbles in the foamed oil tend to gradually coalesce to form free gas, which will have a complex impact on the high-pressure physical properties of the foamed oil, thereby affecting the development effect.

[0005] Currently, the high-pressure physical properties of foam oil under conventional crude oil and continuous production conditions are mainly determined using high-temperature and high-pressure formation fluid analyzers and theoretical formulas. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly, and is not applicable to determining the high-pressure physical properties of foam oil under intermittent cold production conditions. Therefore, determining the high-pressure physical properties of foam oil under intermittent cold production conditions is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0089] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0090] Currently, global conventional oil and gas resources are becoming increasingly depleted, highlighting the growing importance of unconventional oil resources such as foam oil.

[0091] During the depressurization and cold production process of foam oil reservoirs, the dissolved gas released does not immediately coalesce to form a continuous gas phase for rapid production. Instead, it remains in the oil phase as dispersed bubbles, flowing with the crude oil, forming what is known as a "foam flow." This continues until the pressure drops below the pseudo-foam point pressure (the pressure point where dispersed bubbles begin to coalesce in large numbers, producing a continuous gas phase), at which point the oil and gas finally separate, becoming conventional dissolved gas drive. The foam flow improves crude oil fluidity, delays gas production, and increases elastic drive energy, enabling the cold production recovery rate of foam oil reservoirs to reach up to approximately 12%. Forming a stable foam flow and fully utilizing the oil displacement effect of foam oil are crucial for the efficient development of foam oil reservoirs.

[0092] However, in actual field production, due to limitations such as production conditions, frequent well restarts or even the entire oilfield shutting down during the depressurization and cold extraction process of foam oil reservoirs will result in the reservoir being in an intermittent cold extraction production state. Foam oil is a thermodynamically non-equilibrium system; during the shutdown phase, the pressure drop rate and production pressure differential approach zero, and the dispersed bubbles in the foam oil tend to gradually coalesce into free gas, which will have a complex impact on the high-pressure physical properties of the foam oil, thus affecting the development effect. Currently, the high-pressure physical properties of conventional crude oil and foam oil under continuous production conditions are mainly determined using high-temperature, high-pressure formation fluid analyzers and theoretical formulas. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly, and is difficult to apply to the determination of high-pressure physical properties of foam oil under intermittent cold extraction production conditions. Currently, there is still a lack of convenient and effective methods for determining the high-pressure physical properties of foam oil under intermittent cold extraction production conditions.

[0093] Therefore, this application proposes a method and apparatus for determining the high-pressure physical properties of foamed oil. The method involves acquiring experimental data from a simulation experiment of intermittent cold-production foamed oil; establishing a first model and a second model based on the experimental data; then, using the first and second models, obtaining the relationship curves between the simulated bubble point pressure, system pressure, and volume of the foamed oil under intermittent cold-production conditions; finally, determining the high-pressure physical properties of the foamed oil under these conditions based on the relationship curves. In the embodiments of this application, the high-pressure physical properties of foamed oil under intermittent cold-production production conditions can be determined quickly and accurately.

[0094] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0095] Figure 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for determining the high-pressure physical property parameters of foamed oil according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 1, the method for determining the high-pressure physical property parameters of foamed oil in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0096] S101. Obtain experimental data from the simulation experiment of intermittent cold-extraction foam oil.

[0097] Specifically, the simulation experiment of intermittent cold-production foam oil includes the following steps:

[0098] Step 1: Clean the formation fluid mixing apparatus and the intermediate container (e.g., high-pressure gas cylinder, gas sampling cylinder, etc.) containing the mixing gas (e.g., natural gas). Pour the oil sample (e.g., petroleum) into the formation fluid mixing apparatus, leaving space for the mixing gas. Then, use a vacuum pump to evacuate the intermediate container for at least 24 hours. Measure the required mixing gas and transfer it into the formation fluid mixing apparatus. Finally, heat and pressurize the formation fluid mixing apparatus to formation conditions and stir for at least 24 hours to ensure thorough mixing of the oil sample and the mixing gas, forming the experimental formation oil sample.

[0099] In this embodiment, the formation fluid mixing apparatus and the intermediate container containing the mixing gas are cleaned. The oil sample to be used is introduced into the formation fluid mixing apparatus, with a 50ml space reserved for the mixing gas. Then, the intermediate container is evacuated for 48 hours using a vacuum pump. The required mixing gas is measured and transferred into the formation fluid mixing apparatus. Finally, the formation fluid mixing apparatus is heated and pressurized to formation conditions (formation temperature 54.2℃ and formation pressure 8.65MPa), and stirred for 48 hours to ensure thorough mixing of the oil sample and the mixing gas, forming the experimental formation oil sample.

[0100] Step 2: To prevent formation oil sample degassing, maintain the PVT cylinder temperature at the formation temperature. Under conditions higher than the formation pressure, introduce a certain amount of formation oil sample from the formation fluid mixing instrument into the PVT cylinder and stir thoroughly for more than 24 hours.

[0101] In this embodiment of the application, the temperature of the PVT cylinder is maintained at the formation temperature of 54.2°C. Under the condition of 10 MPa, 200 ml of formation oil sample is introduced from the formation fluid mixing instrument into the PVT cylinder and stirred thoroughly for 48 hours.

[0102] Step 3: Increase the volume of the PVT cylinder to reduce its pressure, and gradually reduce the pressure at a certain rate. In order to form a foamy oil state, no stirring is performed after each stage of pressure reduction until the pressure drops to the reservoir abandonment pressure, thus simulating the depressurization and cold production process of a foamy oil reservoir.

[0103] In this process, when the pressure drops to a certain level, the pressure reduction is stopped, and the PVT cylinder remains stationary for a period of time to simulate the intermittent cold production process. During this process, the pressure and volume values ​​of the foam oil gas system are read, and the pressure-volume relationship curve of the foam oil gas system under intermittent cold production conditions is plotted. The simulated bubble point pressure of the foam oil is determined based on the inflection point of the curve.

[0104] In this embodiment, the pressure is reduced by increasing the volume of the PVT cylinder at a rate of 1 MPa / h. To create a foamy oil state, no stirring is performed after each pressure reduction until the pressure drops to the reservoir abandonment pressure of 0.101 MPa, simulating the depressurization cold production process of a foamy oil reservoir. When the pressure drops to 4 MPa, the depressurization is stopped, and the PVT cylinder remains stationary for a period of time, simulating an intermittent cold production process. During this process, the system pressure and volume values ​​are read, and a system pressure-volume relationship curve under intermittent cold production conditions is plotted (as shown in Figure 2). Based on the inflection point of the curve, the pseudo-foaming point pressure of the foamy oil is determined to be 2.1 MPa.

[0105] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the pressure and volume relationship curves of the foam oil gas system under intermittent cold production conditions provided in the embodiments of this application. As shown in Figure 2, the circles are used to indicate the system pressure and volume values ​​read during the experiment; the horizontal axis represents the pressure of the foam oil gas system under intermittent cold production conditions, in MPa; the vertical axis represents the volume of the foam oil gas system under intermittent cold production conditions, in ml.

[0106] Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3. After each depressurization, introduce a portion of the foam oil into a high-temperature, high-pressure microscopic viewing window to observe the microscopic characteristics of the foam oil under intermittent cold extraction conditions (as shown in Figure 3).

[0107] Figure 3 shows the microscopic characteristics of foamed oil under intermittent cold production conditions at each pressure level provided in the embodiments of this application. As shown in Figure 3, from left to right, the microscopic characteristics of foamed oil under intermittent cold production conditions are shown at pressures of 5 MPa, 4.95 MPa, 4 MPa, 4.77 MPa, 4.27 MPa, 2.27 MPa, 1.77 MPa, and 0.77 MPa, respectively.

[0108] Step 5: Repeat steps 2-4, changing the pressure drop rate and shutdown duration, and study the effects of pressure drop rate and shutdown duration on the pseudo-bubble point pressure of foam oil and the pressure-volume relationship curve of foam oil gas system under intermittent cold production conditions.

[0109] In this embodiment, the effects of pressure drop rate (1 MPa / h, 2 MPa / h) and shutdown duration (5 h, 10 h, 20 h) on the pseudo-bubbling point pressure of foamed oil and the relationship between system pressure and volume under intermittent cold recovery production conditions were studied.

[0110] Table 1

[0111] As shown in Table 1, with the increase of pressure drop rate and the length of shutdown time, the pseudo-foaming point pressure of foam oil gradually increases.

[0112] The pressure-volume relationship curves of the system under different shutdown durations and pressure drop rates are shown in Figures 4 to 9.

[0113] Figure 4 shows the pressure drop rate of 1 MPa·h provided in the embodiment of this application. -1 Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of the pressure and volume relationship curves of the foam oil gas system under intermittent cold production conditions with a shutdown duration of 5 hours.

[0119] As shown in Figures 4 to 9 above, with the increase of pressure drop rate and the length of shutdown time, the slope of the system pressure-volume relationship curve (foam oil flow stage) under different shutdown durations and pressure drop rates gradually decreases, and the foam oil phenomenon weakens.

[0120] S102. Based on the experimental data, establish the first model and the second model.

[0121] Among them, the first model is the calculation model of the pseudo-bubble point pressure of foam oil under the condition of intermittent cold production of foam oil, and the second model is the relationship model between the pressure and volume of the oil and gas system of foam oil under the condition of intermittent cold production of foam oil.

[0122] In this embodiment, the experimental data includes the foaming point pressure of the foamed oil and the pressure-volume relationship curves of the system under different shutdown durations and pressure drop rates. The first model established based on the experimental data is shown in Formula 1: P pb=2.125 + 0.0236t p -0.2333dp (1)

[0123] Among them, P pb The pressure is the simulated bubble point pressure, in MPa; t p The shutdown duration is expressed in hours (h); dp is the pressure drop rate, expressed in MPa·h. -1 .

[0124] By fitting experimental data, a second model was established and divided into four stages, corresponding to the initial depressurization production (single-phase flow) stage, the initial depressurization production (foamed oil flow) stage, the shutdown stage, and the production recovery stage.

[0125] Specifically, in the initial depressurization production (single-phase flow) stage (from the initial reservoir pressure to the bubble point pressure), only a single oil phase exists, so a quadratic equation is used for fitting. In the initial depressurization production (foam oil flow) stage (from the bubble point pressure to the shutdown pressure), gas begins to precipitate, and as the foam oil pressure decreases, the volume increases at an accelerated rate, so a quadratic equation is used for fitting. In the shutdown stage, the volume of foam oil does not change with pressure. In the production recovery stage (from the pressure corresponding to the resumption of production to the reservoir abandonment pressure), a small amount of free gas is generated, and new foam oil is generated. As the foam oil pressure continues to decrease, the volume increases at an accelerated rate, forming an oil-gas two-phase flow, which is fitted using a quartic equation.

[0126] Based on the experimental data, the first model established is shown in the following formula (2):

[0127] Where V(t) is the total volume of the system, in cm³. 3 V(t) s ( ) represents the total volume of the system at the start of shutdown, in cm³. 3 P represents the system pressure, measured in MPa.

[0128] Parameters A, B, C, D, and E are shown in the following formulas (3)-(7): A = -1.228 + 0.2533t p +1.632dp - 0.01068t p 2 -0.009154t p ×dp (3) B=-7.192+3.02t p +16.31dp-0.1364t p 2 +0.09781t p ×dp (4) C=9.793+13.38t p +55.26dp - 0.6237t p 2+1.222t p ×dp (5) D=121.7+27.68t p +69dp-1.212t p 2 +3.063t p ×dp (6) E=341.6+25.59t p +16.6dp-0.8635t p 2 +1.216t p ×dp (7)

[0129] Among them, t p The shutdown duration is expressed in hours (h); dp is the pressure drop rate, expressed in MPa·h. -1 .

[0130] In one possible implementation, in order to verify the reliability of the first model and the second model, the calculation results of the first model and the second model are compared with the experimental results, and the error is calculated. If the error is less than the error threshold, the reliability of the first model and the second model is guaranteed.

[0131] In this embodiment of the application, the error threshold is 1%, and the calculation results and experimental results of the first model and the second model are shown in Figures 10 and 11.
