The present invention relates to the field of exploration for oil and gas reservoirs, and more particularly to a method and device for studying fluid equilibrium distribution in heterogeneous oil and gas reservoirs.
Determination of the fluid equilibrium distribution of oil and gas reservoirs in an original state is a basis for establishing a geological model and a flow model, and is a basis for calculating reserves, defining fluid distribution, establishing initial conditions for oil reservoir numerical simulation, recognizing water mechanism or source and establishing fluid production profiles. It has an important influence on the percolation field and residual oil and gas distribution of oil and gas reservoirs, and provides a data basis for dynamic analysis and yield prediction of oil and gas reservoirs.
For lithologically homogeneous oil and gas reservoirs, under the state of static equilibrium, gas, oil and water are distributed from top to bottom, with a gas-oil transition zone and an oil-water transition zone in the middle, and the length of the transition zones is controlled by capillary forces. However, for lithologically heterogeneous oil and gas reservoirs, the distribution of oil, gas and water is very complex. For the same layer, due to the difference of reservoirs in different positions, the capillary force difference is different, resulting in the tilt and fluctuation of a gas-water interface. For multi-layer oil and gas reservoirs, the static equilibrium of oil, gas and water will generate phenomena of alternation and inversion. Under the condition of known oil-water interface and gas-water interface, the existing vertical equilibrium distribution model of fluid can be used to determine the fluid distribution of the oil and gas reservoirs under the equilibrium state.
For example, the following methods are usually used in the prior art to determine the fluid distribution of the oil and gas reservoirs in the original state: vertical equilibrium calculation, which determines fluid saturation distribution through oil, gas and water interfaces (an oil-water interface, a gas-oil interface or a gas-water interface) and capillary force curves, and finally determines the equilibrium distribution of the fluid.
However, it is difficult to determine the static equilibrium distribution of the fluid under the existing technical conditions when the oil-water interface or gas-water interface of some oil and gas reservoirs may not exist, is unclear or is difficult to determine.
In view of the above technical problems, one purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for studying fluid equilibrium distribution in heterogeneous oil and gas reservoirs with respect to the defects of the prior art, which can determine static fluid equilibrium distribution in heterogeneous oil reservoirs without a determined fluid interface.
To achieve the above technical purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a method for studying fluid equilibrium distribution in heterogeneous oil and gas reservoirs comprises the following steps:

To make the technical solutions and technical advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the implementation process of the present invention will be clearly and fully described below in combination with the embodiments.
In the following embodiments, the wetting phase is a water phase and the non-wetting phase is an oil phase or gas phase.
A method for studying fluid equilibrium distribution in heterogeneous oil and gas reservoirs comprises the following steps:
In the present embodiment, the displacement pressure
of the reservoir i is determined according to a capillary force curve
and the displacement pressure can also be determined by other methods.
When the straight line lpn and the straight line
intersect in the reservoir i , an intersection point therebetween is a junction point of the non-wetting phase n and the wetting phase.
When the straight line lpn and the straight line
do not intersect in the reservoir i , and
the non-wetting phase n is continuously distributed in the reservoir i , where
is the value of the straight line lpn in the reservoir i ; and
is the value of the straight line lpw in the reservoir i . In the present invention,
means that in the reservoir i , when the depth D of the reservoir is identical, the value of
n is larger than the value of
When the straight line lpn and the straight line
do not intersect in the reservoir i , and
the continuously distributed non-wetting phase n does not exist in the reservoir i ; step S3 is returned; and a new point is selected from the reservoir again for measurement and calculation. In the present invention,
means that in the reservoir i , when the depth D of the reservoir is identical, the value of
is less than the value of
Step S5: when the non-wetting phase n is continuously distributed in the reservoir i , establishing a straight line
where
is the displacement pressure in a reservoir i - 1 and the reservoir i - 1 is located above the reservoir i , and according to whether the straight line lpn and the straight line
intersect in the reservoir i - 1 and the pressure size, judging the distribution of the non-wetting phase n in the reservoir i - 1:
When the straight line lpn and the straight line
do not intersect in the reservoir i - 1, and
where
is the value of the straight line lpn in the reservoir i - 1 and
is the value of the straight line lpw in the reservoir i - 1 , the non-wetting phase n is continuously distributed in the reservoir i - 1 and i = i - 1: is made; and step S5 is repeated. In the present invention,
means that in the reservoir i - 1, when the depth D of the reservoir is identical, the value of
is larger than the value of
When the straight line lpn and the straight line
intersect in the reservoir i - 1, the fluid interface of the non-wetting phase n in the reservoir i - 1 penetrates through the intersection point and the continuously distributed non-wetting phase n does not exist in the reservoir i - 1.
In particular, although continuous distribution regions of the non-wetting phase n may appear in different reservoirs, these regions may be communicated with each other, for example, communicated through cracks, and may also be disconnected, i.e., two continuous distribution regions are uncorrelated. Therefore, when the continuous distribution region of the non-wetting phase n appears in an upper reservoir i - 1 - m ( (i - 1 - m)∈{1,..., M} and m > 0) of the fluid interface, judgment needs to be made about whether the region which appears in the reservoir i - 1 - m and the point A are in the same continuous distribution region of the non-wetting phase n through the capillary force curve and the reservoir pressure; if so, a straight line
is established by the method in step S5 and is compared with the straight line lpn by the method in step S5; if not, a new pressure-depth curve needs to be established again in the reservoir i-l-m and measurement is continued according to the method in step S2 and subsequent steps.
Step S6: determining the equilibrium distribution of fluid in a downward reservoir of the reservoir i: when the non-wetting phase in the reservoir i is continuously distributed or a junction point of the non-wetting phase and the wetting phase exists, establishing a straight line
where
is the displacement pressure in a reservoir i+1 and the reservoir i+1 is located below the reservoir i, and according to whether the straight line lpn and the straight line
intersect in the reservoir i+1 and the pressure size, judging the distribution of the non-wetting phase n in the reservoir i+1:
When the straight line lpn and the straight line
do not intersect in the reservoir i+1, and
, the non-wetting phase n is continuously distributed in the reservoir i+1; i=i+1 is made; and step S6 is repeated. In the present invention,
means that in the reservoir i+1, when the depth D of the reservoir is identical, the value of
is larger than the value of
Otherwise, the following determination is conducted:
If the straight line lpn and the straight line
intersect in the reservoir i+1, the intersection point is the junction point of the non-wetting phase and the wetting phase; under such conditions, when
where
is the displacement pressure of a reservoir i+2, then the reservoir i+2 is a pure wetting phase; i=i+1 is made; and the sizes of
and
are determined continuously until the condition is not satisfied or i+1=M.
In particular, when the straight line lpn and the straight line
intersect in the reservoir i+1, and a new continuous distribution region of the non-wetting phase n appears in the lower reservoir i+1+j(i+1+j∈{1,⋯, M}and j>0) of the reservoir i+1, judgment is made about whether the new continuous distribution region and the point A are in the same continuous distribution region; if so, a straight line
is established by the method in step S6 and is compared with the method in step S6; if not, a new pressure-depth curve needs to be established again in the reservoir i+1+j and processing is conducted according to step S2 and subsequent steps.
Step S7: for a point B in the same reservoir and in a region adjacent to a region where the point A is located, if a region where the point B is located and the region where the point A is located are in the same continuous distribution region of the non-wetting phase n, the calculation of the region where the point B is located is the same as the step of the region where the point A is located; if the region where the point B is located and the region where the point A is located are in different continuous distribution regions of the non-wetting phase n, repeating steps S3-S6 with the point B as a benchmark.
In some embodiments, the reservoir is not only longitudinally heterogeneous seriously, but also transversely heterogeneous seriously. Therefore, a transversely heterogeneous reservoir is divided into M layers, and each reservoir is divided into N regions transversely. In this way, a full three-dimensional heterogeneous reservoir is divided. Subsequently, the reservoir is calculated by the methods in steps S2-S7.
In conclusion, relative to the traditional method, the method of the present invention can obtain the static equilibrium distribution of fluid in the reservoirs without the need of an oil-water interface or gas-water interface, and can also process transverse and vertical heterogeneous oil and gas reservoirs. The present invention proves that oil-water or gas-water can coexist in the reservoirs even if an oil layer or gas layer is not communicated with a water layer. The present invention has important guiding significance for reserve calculation of the oil and gas reservoirs, driving energy evaluation, liquid production profile and numerical simulation initialization of the oil and gas reservoirs.
