Detailed Description
The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the following drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant invention and not restrictive of the invention. It should be noted that, for convenience of description, only the portions related to the related invention are shown in the drawings.
As will be understood from the description of the background art, for a reservoir developed using water flooding, if a large amount of heavy oil is included in the reservoir, it may be necessary to recover the heavy oil using steam flooding after water flooding. When the steam flooding mining is adopted, if steam is directly injected into the stratum and then enters the water channeling channel of the stratum, a large amount of heat contained in the steam can be absorbed by water stored in the water channeling channel, and the reduction of the heat for effectively heating the oil reservoir is caused. Therefore, in order to improve the steam heat energy utilization efficiency of steam flooding exploitation, the deployment position of the steam injection well and the reasonable process parameters of the steam injection well need to be optimally designed according to the stratum characteristics in the operation block after water flooding exploitation.
The embodiment of the application provides a method for determining the deployment position of a steam injection well, which is used for selecting the deployment position of the steam injection well according to the water storage characteristic condition of a stratum in a water drive operation block.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining a deployment location of a steam injection well according to an embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the method provided by the present embodiment includes steps S101-S103.
S101: and determining a water channeling well and a water injection well in the water channeling direction according to the injection-production dynamic response characteristics of the well group.
In the water injection operation block, a water injection well and a production well form a well group according to a preset arrangement mode; the stratum pressure is increased by injecting water to the stratum through the water injection wells in the well group, so that the oil reservoir in the stratum flows to the side of the production well.
And if the stratum has geological regions with similar characteristics such as a sediment riverway, the water injection well and the production well are both in the scope of the sediment riverway, and the water injection operation enables the sediment riverway to be communicated to form a channel (namely a water channeling channel) for high-pressure water to flow fast, and high-pressure water injected by the water injection well directly flows to the water injection well through the water channeling channel without playing a role of water drive.
And judging whether the production well is a water channeling well or not according to the injection and production dynamic response characteristics of the operation wells in the well group. For example, without throughput or other stimulation, a production well may be identified as a water channeling well when the fluid production capacity of the production well reaches 1.5 times that before the waterflood operation and the fluid production water content of the production well rises to a particular value, such as 95%.
After the water channeling well is determined, the water injection well in the water channeling direction can be determined according to the injection and production dynamic response characteristics of the water injection well and the water channeling well in the well group. For example, if a water injection well increases the amount of water injected, and the amount of fluid production and the water content of the fluid production of the water channeling well correspondingly increase, it may be determined that the water injection well is likely to be a water injection well in the direction of water channeling.
In practical application, the problem of multidirectional water channeling may occur in a well group, that is, the water injection amount of a plurality of water injection wells and the liquid production amount characteristic of the water channeling well can be in a correlation relationship, and the water channeling phenomenon can occur in the water channeling well due to water injection of each water injection well. In order to determine the water injection well in the general water channeling direction, the water channeling direction of a water channeling channel in the stratum needs to be determined according to the sedimentary microfacies of the stratum, and then the water injection well in the water channeling direction needs to be determined.
FIG. 2 is an overall schematic diagram of an embodiment providing well groups and depositional microfacies in a formation. As can be seen in connection with fig. 2, the general flow direction of the sedimentary canal in the formation can be determined from the sedimentary microsequence; determining the water channeling direction according to the flow direction of the sedimentary river channel and the positions of the water injection well and the water channeling well in the sedimentary river channel; then, the water injection well in the water channeling direction (or the water channeling channel) can be determined according to the water channeling direction and the water channeling well. Regarding the direction of the sedimentary river, the water injection well in the flow direction of the sedimentary river is the water injection well in the water channeling direction.
In addition, in some applications, only one water injection well in the well group has a correlation between the liquid production amount and the water production water content of the water channeling well, so that the water injection well can be directly determined to be the water injection well in the water channeling direction.
S102: and determining the range of the water channeling channel and the volume of a water storage pore of the water channeling channel according to the liquid production characteristics of the water channeling well, the water absorption characteristics of the water injection well and the stratum characteristic data.
After the water channeling well and the water injection well in the water channeling direction are determined, the historical liquid production characteristics of the water channeling well, the historical water absorption characteristics of the water injection well and the stratum characteristic data of an operation block are obtained, and the range of a water channeling channel in the stratum and the water storage pore volume of the water channeling channel are determined through simulation deduction of a data model.
The water producing characteristic of the water channeling well is the water producing characteristic of the water channeling well in the depth direction, the water absorbing characteristic of the water injection well is the water absorbing characteristic of the water injection well in the depth direction, and the water producing characteristic and the water absorbing characteristic can reflect the water absorbing and water storing characteristics of each stratum; by combining with formation characteristic data and utilizing the historical statistical data of the liquid production characteristic and the water absorption characteristic, the range of the water channeling channel and the water storage pore volume of the water channeling channel can be determined by utilizing a numerical simulation method.
S103: and determining the deployment position of the steam injection well according to the range of the water channeling channel and the volume of a water storage hole of the water channeling channel.
After the range of each water channeling channel and the volume of the water storage pore of each water channeling channel are determined, the characteristics of the water channeling channels in each stratum in the whole operation block can be determined; the reservoir development costs in the water breakthrough paths in certain formations may be determined by combining the water breakthrough path characteristics of all the formations in the work zone. The deployment position of the steam injection well in the operation zone can be determined by integrating the oil reservoir development cost and the oil liquid yield of all the strata.
The method comprises the following steps of determining whether a stratum where a water channeling channel is located is a strong water flooded layer, a weak water flooded layer or a non-water flooded layer according to the volume of water storage pores of the water channeling channel; the weak water flooded layer and the non-water flooded layer have development value because of less water storage.
According to the method for determining the deployment position of the steam injection well, the characteristics of the water channeling channel in the stratum are determined according to the injection and production dynamic response characteristic data of the water channeling well and the water injection well and the stratum characteristic data, the steam flooding development cost of the oil reservoir in the corresponding stratum is determined according to the characteristics of each water channeling channel, and the deployment position of the steam injection well is set according to the steam flooding development cost of the oil reservoir in each stratum. By adopting the steam injection well at the deployment position and combining reasonable steam flooding process parameters, the steam heat can be reduced as much as possible to be absorbed by the stored water of the water channeling channel while realizing steam flooding exploitation of the heavy oil reservoir in the stratum, and the utilization efficiency of the steam heat is improved.
Fig. 3 is a flow chart of determining water channeling extent and water holding pore volume provided by one embodiment. As shown in fig. 3, in an alternative embodiment, the method for implementing the foregoing step S102 may include steps S201 and S202.
S201: and determining a water channeling layer in the stratum according to the liquid production characteristic of the water channeling well and the water absorption characteristic of the water injection well.
In the working block operated in the embodiment of the application, the stratum has obvious layering characteristic. Some of these formations do not have good pore characteristics and are unlikely to develop into water channeling layers. In practical application, in order to reduce data processing amount, which of the stratum is the water channeling layer can be determined according to the liquid production characteristics of the water channeling layer and the water absorption characteristics of the water injection well, and then the characteristics of the water channeling channel can be obtained by carrying out numerical simulation on the water channeling layer.
Determining a water channeling layer according to the liquid production characteristics of the water channeling well and the water absorption characteristics of the water injection well, determining which layers in the stratum are layers with large water absorption rate or water absorption capacity, and which layers are corresponding layers with large liquid production capacity and large liquid production water content, and taking the stratum as the water channeling layer.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a water absorption section and a water channeling well fluid production section of the water injection well provided by the embodiment. Through the correlation of the two, it can be seen that the water absorption of some stratum in the water injection layer is very large, and the liquid production of the corresponding layer in the water channeling well is very large, so that the layer can be determined to be the water channeling layer.
In practical application, the water channeling layer in the stratum can be determined by using the liquid production characteristic of the water channeling well and the water absorption characteristic of the water injection well and combining the primary logging interpretation data and the secondary logging interpretation data of the water channeling well as assistance. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a comparison between primary and secondary well log interpretation data.
The primary logging interpretation data is logging interpretation data when a production well (serving as a water channeling well) is deployed; the secondary well logging interpretation data are well logging interpretation data formed by re-exploring the water channeling well. The two logging interpretations have resistivity characteristic data of each stratum. If the water yield of a certain stratum of the water channeling well is greatly increased, the resistivity of the corresponding stratum is reversely reduced, so that the resistivity of the stratum is greatly reduced in the two well logging interpretation data, the stratum can be generally determined as a water channeling layer; namely, the primary logging interpretation data and the secondary logging interpretation data can be used for assisting in determining the water channeling layer.
S202: and determining the range of the water channeling channel and the volume of a water storage pore of the water channeling channel according to the stratum characteristic data of the water channeling layer, the liquid production characteristic of the water channeling well in the water channeling layer and the water absorption characteristic of the water injection well in the water channeling layer.
After a certain stratum is determined to be a water channeling layer, numerical simulation can be carried out on the stratum, and the range of a water channeling channel of the stratum and the volume of a water storage pore of the water channeling channel are determined by utilizing stratum characteristic data, the liquid production characteristic of a water channeling well in the stratum and the water absorption characteristic of a water injection well in the stratum; the range of all water channeling channels and the volume of the water storage pores are integrated to determine the characteristics of all water channeling channels in the operation block. Of course, the water channeling passage referred to herein may be a water channeling passage whose water channeling amount reaches a certain level.
In step S202, for a certain water channeling layer, a water phase vector diagram of the water channeling layer may be formed according to the formation characteristic data, the liquid production characteristic of the water channeling well in the water channeling layer, and the water absorption characteristic of the water injection well in the water channeling layer, and the range of the water channeling channel of the water channeling layer and the water storage pore volume of the water channeling layer are determined by the water phase vector diagram.
Of course, in the case of sufficient data processing capability, all strata can be directly processed without identifying water channeling layers in the strata, and the range of all water channeling channels and the corresponding water storage pore volume can be obtained.
In the foregoing, it is mentioned that a stratum having development value is selected, that is, a water channeling layer having development value is selected according to the range of the water channeling passage and the water storage pore volume of the water channeling passage, and the water channeling layer is called a water channeling layer to be developed. Subsequently, the deployment position of the steam injection well is determined according to the range of the water channeling channel of the water channeling layer to be developed.
FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of an embodiment providing for determining a location of deployment of a steam injection well based on a range of water channeling. As shown in FIG. 6, in one embodiment, determining the deployment location of the steam injection well may employ steps S301-S303.
S301: and determining the translation direction according to the direction of the water channeling channel of the water channeling layer to be developed.
S302: the translation distance is determined according to the range of the water channeling passage of the water channeling layer to be developed.
S303: and taking the water injection well as the origin, and taking the position selected after moving the translation distance in the translation direction as the deployment position of the steam injection well.
In order to minimize the absorption of the heat of the steam-driven steam by the water stored in the water channeling channel, the steam injection well should be located as far away as possible from the central region of the water channeling channel, but at the edge region of the water channeling channel or away from the water channeling channel; therefore, the embodiment of the application takes the water injection well as the origin to move towards the water channeling direction vertical to the water channeling channel, and the deployment position of the steam injection well is determined; and, the translation area is determined according to the range of the water channeling passage to keep the steam injection well as far away from the water channeling passage as possible.
It should be noted that the foregoing determination of the translation direction and the translation distance is only a preferred solution, and in other embodiments, the deployment position of the steam injection well may be determined by a technician based on the range of the water channeling paths of the respective strata. Alternatively, the deployment location of the steam injection well may be determined by modeling to find an optimal solution.
