According to the present invention and as will be described below, simplified well model system is formed, is generated and complicated calculating The determination of the bottom hole pressure of the time-consuming first identical calculating of unity couping well model.
According to the present invention, it has been determined that the grid block for vertically communicating place by several stratum for well track communicates layer It can be combined to which processing is single layer, as schematically indicated for well model in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.This passes through accomplished below:Know The various flow barrier layer above or belows of perpendicular flow barrier and combination well unit in the reservoir of other well unit.Cause This, full well model system is reduced to the well model system with the reduced size for having lacked many layers, come be incorporated to well model into Row processing.
As shown in Figure 1, well model L indicates that the complicated subsurface reservoir grid block that well passes through is (single with simplified schematic form Member), it is made of seven individual stratum 10, each of stratum 10 is vertically in fluid communication with adjacent layer 10.Model L packets Another group of ten stratum 12 around well 12 are included, each of stratum 12 is vertically in fluid communication with adjacent layer 12.In mould The group on the stratum 10 and 12 that the adjacent layer similar with other in type L is in fluid communication is as shown in Figure 1 by vertical fluid The fluid-tight barrier layer 14 that stream constitutes obstacle separates.
According to the present invention, by the purpose for determining gesture Φ and completion rate, by 14 top of fluid barrier of well model L Layer 10 is combined or is combined into the composite layer 10a in reduced model R, and for processing intent, well model L is reduced to simplified Or the well model R (Figure 1A) simplified.Similar, the layer 12 of 14 lower section of fluid barrier of well model L is combined into simplified well model R In composite layer 12a.
Similar, as Fig. 2 is indicated, reservoir model L-1 is made of the individual stratum in five tops 20, every in stratum 20 It is a to be vertically in fluid communication with adjacent layer 20.Model L-1 includes another group of seven stratum 22, each of stratum 22 with it is adjacent Layer 22 be vertically in fluid communication.The group on the stratum 20 and 22 that adjacent layer similar with other in model L-1 is in fluid communication is such as The fluid-tight barrier layer 24 by constituting obstacle to vertical fluid stream indicated in Fig. 2 separates.Such as indicated in model L-1 , nine stratum 25 of another group be in fluid communication each other below the fluid barrier layer 26 as vertical fluid stream obstacle and layer 22 separate.Nethermost one group of ten stratum 27 being in fluid communication each other are located in model L-1 below fluid stream barrier layer 28.
According to the present invention, by the purpose for determining well layer gesture Φ and completion rate, by the fluid barrier 24 of well model L-1 The layer 20 of top is combined or is combined into the composite layer 20a in reduced model R, and for processing purposes, well model L-1 is simple Turn to well model R-1 (Fig. 2A) that is simplified or simplifying.Similar, by 24,26 and 28 lower section of fluid barrier of well model L-1 Other layers 22,25 and 27 are combined into composite layer 22a, 25a and 27a in simplified well model R-1.
Simplified well model system according to the present invention or well model are solved for reservoir unknown number and bottom pore pressure force. Then, the well in full reservoir simulation model system is considered as defined base apertures well pressure, and it is unknown impliedly to solve reservoir Number.The diagonal element and right end item vector of the coefficient matrix of reservoir model are only points changed in processing according to the present invention Amount, and these are only slightly modified.Then regular sparse solver techniques or methods are used for solving reservoir unknown number.By making With reservoir unknown number (pressure and saturation degree) calculation punch rate.Then it sums these rates to calculate total well rate.Root It will be with simulator for each time step according to the error between total well rate and input well rate of the determination of the present invention Nonlinear Newtonian iteration and reduce.
For the entire reservoir simulation model including many wells, the flow velocity that is calculated according to the present invention is also as passing through unity couping Simultaneous solution calculate flow velocity and restrain.Because the present invention needs to solve The Small Well system model, therefore, it is relatively low to calculate cost.? It was found that if by when combination communicates layer suitably using roughening (upscaling) by be suitably constructed simplified well system, The method convergence of the present invention.
Commonly known to be, if all reservoirs vertically communicate, simple well model (e.g., explicit or half implicit model) is logical Often it has been sufficient.As shown in Figure 3, the quantity that explicit well model E is communicated by vertical current is that the reservoir 30 of Nz forms, every layer With the permeability k for indicating to limit in such as Fig. 3X, i(herein, i expressions level number, rather than component) and thickness deltat ziAnd perforation Layer rate qi.Then, in figure 3, as indicated in the equation (3) in same figure, the total output q of explicit model ETIt is explicit The single productivity q of Nz layer of modeliSum.
For explicit model, well productivity proportionally distributes to perforation with the layer production index (or overall flow rate).Therefore, It calculates simple.The coefficient matrix of obtained unknown number remains unchanged, that is, maintains regular sparsity structure, matrix such as in fig. 12 Shown in format.Therefore, any sparse matrix solver can be used for being directed to each time step, solve gridblock pressure and saturation The linear system of degree.

Hydraulic conductivity between the unit in three directions is limited by following equation (11):
In above-mentioned equation (11), Δ xiIt is that (unit is big for grid block size on the directions x of grid block (unit) number i It is small).Similar, Δ yiIt is grid block size (cell size) and the Δ z on the directions y of grid block (unit) number iiIt is grid Grid block size (cell size) on the directions z of block (unit) number i or grid layer thickness.KZ, i-1/2It is unit i and unit i-1 Intersection vertical permeability.Similar, KZ, i+1/2It is the vertical permeability of the intersection of unit i and unit i+1.Such as Fig. 6 Shown, unit i is at center, intersections of the i+1/2 between unit i and unit i+1.For simplicity in expression thing When stream, increase subscript j.Similar, (i, j-1) is the adjacent cells of the north side central location (i, j).Therefore, symbol (i, j-1/2) It is the boundary between central location in y-direction and the adjacent cells of north side.
The same symbol is used to the adjacent cells in southern side:(i, j+1/2) indicates central location in y-direction and southern side phase Boundary between adjacent unit (i, j+1).For simplicity, in above-mentioned equation, when indicating the direction y (or j), increase subscript i.It will be evident that the hydraulic conductivity in defining equation (11) in a similar manner.
In fig. 14, diagonal item is limited by following equation (17)And the water guide between the unit in three directions It is limited in rate equation 11 as described above.
Item in Figure 14(right-hand vector) is indicated by equation (17b) herein.It is extracted by following formula:
Wherein, i=1,2 ... Nz, wherein the grid sum that Nz is still vertically oriented, the number of perpendicular layers.In side In the extraction of journey (17b), layer productivity index PIiIt is limited by equation (17) and gesture item ΦBIt is the west, east, north of central location With the known boundary gesture of the boundary of each adjacent cells in south.In general, item, unit and grid block are used interchangeably.
Conventional well model can be generally classified as three groups:(a) explicit well model;(b) well model as defined in bottom hole pressure; With fully implicit solution well model (Aziz K, Settari A, Petroleum Reservoir Simulation, Applied Science Publishers Ltd,London 1979).In order to better understand the present invention, each well model is briefly introduced.

Direct solution by using Gaussian elimination method or any other conventional solver appropriate for complete matrix The matrix of equation (28) can be solved.
If in implicit well model, the quantity Nz of layer is big, and well complete completion in all layers, then equation (28) Solution becomes expensive on calculating the time.Thus and in addition, if being related to many wells, equation is usually solved by alternative manner (28).The example is in " A Fully-Implicit Fully-Coupled Well Model for Parallel Mega- Cell Reservoir Simulation”,SPE Technical Symposium of Saudi Arabia Section, It is described in 14-16 May 2005.
Flow chart I (Figure 10) indicates the basic of the fully implicit solution unity couping well model simultaneous solution of matrix-type shown in Figure 13 Computer disposal sequence.During step 100, start to simulate by reading reservoir data and creation data.Reservoir data includes Reservoir geological information --- the degree (length) in its size, x, y and z directionss, and reservoir attribute (e.g., Permeability Distribution, porous point Cloth), the thickness of layer, relative permeability data, capillary pressure force data, fluid properties data (e.g., fluid density table, stratum body Product factor table, viscosity table), the position of the well in reservoir, the position of well perforation.
Limited in step before creation data is included in is well measurements or defined oil, the production of water and natural gas Rate.Creation data further includes the minimum bottom hole pressure of each well.
In many cases, if natural gas creation data is unavailable, only input oil productivity and aquatic yield.Such as Fruit does not generate water in oil field, then only Oil Generation yield is read as input.
During the step 102, time step increases by one, and the nonlinear iteration executed during this time step number The iteration count of amount is arranged to zero.During step 104, the Jacobian matrixes of reservoir data are formed.In step 106, Then sparse preprocessor (Yousef Saad, Iterative Methods for Sparse are used by alternative manner Linear Systems,Society of Industrial&Applied Mathematics(SIAM)Publication, 2003) the result linear system of equation (19) is solved.
During step 108, convergence step is executed to determine whether nonlinear iteration has restrained.What step 106 obtained The individual residual error (residual) of equation is examined for user-defined tolerance (tolerance).If these tolerances are full Foot then exits nonlinear iteration cycle, and for current time step, solution output is written into file, processing back to step 102 with For time step to be increased, continue on for the processing of increased time step, as shown in the figure.If during step 108 User-defined tolerance is confirmed as being unsatisfactory for, then back to step 104 and is continued according to the processing of nonlinear iteration cycle.Such as The number of fruit nonlinear iteration becomes too big, then can determine the size for reducing time step, and return to step 102.
However, being based on pretreated intensity, this method can also be very expensive on calculating the time, because there is no indicate The exact way of complete matrix in equation (19).For difficult equation, in the case of extreme inhomogeneities and small layer thickness, Alternative manner can not restrain.
In addition, for the highly non-uniform reservoir with some vertical non-layers communicated, above-mentioned well model does not generate just True physical solution.On the contrary, they can generate incorrect fluid flow profile, and in some cases, they can result in simulation The problem of device is restrained.
The present invention
In the case of some vertical fluid obstacles, explicit and fully implicit solution model can generate entirely different fluid and cut open Face.This is shown in Figure 5.As shown in figure 5, reservoir model V is made of the upper layer 50 of opposite low-permeability, and in vertical current In the case of, it is located at 52 top of high permeability layer of isolation, is communicated without the vertical current with adjacent layer.Fluid barrier layer 52 is located at Medium permeability in reservoir V and the top of layer 54 that is communicated with vertical current.As that can see in Figure 5, well model V Productivity qT be identical for implicitly and explicitly well modeling method.
However, productivity q1, q2 and q3 of layer 50,52 and 54 are significantly different.The productivity q2 of layer 52 is contributed largely in logical Cross the total output qT shown in the curve 56 of explicit model.On the contrary, for the implicit model shown in by curve 58, the life of layer 52 Yield q2 is obviously less.
In fully implicit solution well model, the productivity of layer 2 is obviously less, this is because following facts:This method considers internal Inhomogeneities around reservoir inhomogeneities (all reservoir attributes in reservoir) and well block other than index of perforating is (or aobvious The property of layer 2 is used only in formula method, as the unique data that rate fraction is distributed to the perforation).For example, fully implicit solution well method Focus on being supplied to layer 2 from layer 1 and layer 3 without fluid due to the fluid-tight obstacle between layer 2 and layer 1 and 3.Therefore, one Denier generates some fluids from well model layer 2, and the pressure of layer 2 should decline and the layer should not be supplied to high-speed in well, Although the layer has very high permeability.
On the other hand, explicit method is based only upon the permeability of this layer without considering to connect with the layer of the upper and lower to distribute The rate of layer 2.Based on this, explicit method will be the very high rate of the Layer assignment and will be kept in next simulated time step-length It.In simulated time step-length later, this will lead to the unstability of productivity, that is, simulator is grown up time step is reduced It is small and will take a very long time completion simulation.For identical input data, reservoir simulation makes model be based on selection The modeling technique that uses and provide different the result is that unsatisfactory.
According to the present invention, more comprehensive well model is provided.Well model according to the present invention is referred to as coupling reservoir well model. Associated numerical solution is referred to as fully implicit solution unity couping and simultaneous solution.Fully implicit solution unity couping reservoir well model is generated along perforation Well interval correct fluid flow profile, as will be described.As shown in Figure 4, reservoir model O is a individually by the i of quantity z Layer 1 to Nz (limit as shown in Figure 4 middle finger, each layer have permeability kx,iWith thickness deltat ziAnd gesture Φi) and it is opposite The upper and lower 40 of low-permeability are constituted, and in the case of vertical current, are located at 42 top of high permeability layer of isolation It is communicated without the vertical current with adjacent layer with lower section.As that can see in Fig. 4, the productivity q of the layer i of well model OiIt is logical Cross the expression formula instruction listed in Fig. 4.
Fully implicit solution coupling reservoir well model V propositions in above-mentioned equation (20) of Fig. 5, and also herein further to retouch The matrix format stated proposes:
The present invention is based on following facts:The bottom hole pressure and the system according to the present invention of layered reservoir formation with vertical well It is identical.By identifying fluid barrier and in order to which the reservoir communicated in vertical direction around well is combined by processing intent Or merge, form the system according to the present invention.It care should be taken to when forming simplified system according to the present invention.It is necessary to simplify system It is properly formed, otherwise, the sum of nonlinear Newtonian iteration can be increased by simplifying the mistake during system is constituted.
The system according to the present invention solves bottom hole pressure.By being that the execution of defined bottom hole pressure well should by well processing Solution.Process is fully implicit solution;However, it is not simultaneous solution.On the contrary, solution is continuous.The method of the present invention is convergent, because It is a part for the global Newton iteration of simulator.Therefore, if model according to the present invention is correctly configured, in rate calculations In any possible error will be small and will reduce with simulator Newton iteration.
Flow chart F (Figure 11) shows basic computer processing sequence according to the present invention and in the reservoir using the present invention During the exemplary embodiments of the continuous fully implicit solution well model (sequential fully implicit well model) of simulation The computational methods of generation.
During step 200, started by reading reservoir data and creation data, simulation.It is read during step 200 Reservoir data and creation data are above-mentioned types.During the step 200, also initialize reservoir simulator, will the simulation date and Time step is set as zero.During step 202, time step increases by one, and is executed during this time step non-thread The iteration count of the quantity of property iteration is arranged to zero.
During step 204, the Jacobian matrixes of reservoir data are formed.In step 206, it is formed according to the present invention such as The simplification system limited by above-mentioned model R, and in the manner described above for base apertures gesture ΦwSolution matrix.In step 208 phase Between, solve the linear system matrix A of modification in the above described manner according to the present invention.
Figure 15 shows to form simplified well model system matrix R and solves base apertures gesture according to the step 204 of Figure 11 and 206 ΦwMethod.As step 210 indicates, the vertical current obstacle in original well model system is identified.This can be based on log data Or by being completed according to the regulation of the data in initial reservoir model by Reservoir Analysis person.
After step 210, then during step 212, by data processing system D-shaped at simplified well model system System.In well model be located between stream barrier layer and be grouped together for analysis model with those of vertical current layer Purpose.
Then, during step 214, pass through computer disposal, the technology discussed using equation (17), (17a) and (17b) Obtained simplification well model system is solved, base apertures gesture Φ is obtainedwWith reservoir unknown number.Then step 216 utilizes data processing System D solves the full well model system structure matrix of equation (27) using direct solution or other above-mentioned proper technologies.So Completion rate q is determined based on the result of step 216 using data processing system D afterwardsiWith total well stream speed qT
Referring again to Figure 11, during step 220, convergence step is executed to determine whether nonlinear iteration restrains.Step The individual residual error of 216 obtained equations is examined for user-defined tolerance.If these tolerances are satisfied, exit non- Linear iteraction recycles, and solution output is written into file in current time step, and handles increased for waiting for back to step 202 Time step, and continue for the processing of increased time step, as shown in the figure.If user-defined during step 208 Tolerance is confirmed as being unsatisfactory for, then back to step 204 and is continued according to the processing of nonlinear iteration cycle.If non-linear change Generation number becomes too big, then can determine adjustment model.
Horizontal well
Figure 19 shows the horizontal well 300 being orientated in the y-direction in three dimensional reservoir framework H.The model H of Figure 19 is similar to Fig. 6, difference are the Finite Difference Meshes of horizontal well 300.Well 300 is located at extending in the y-direction along vertical plane or prolongs in the z-direction That stretches descends in a series in the center of the central location in each of stratomere 304.Figure 24 A and Figure 24 B show the level of Figure 19 The symbol of grid cell in well model H.As shown in Figure 19, well 300 passes through N in the horizontal or directions yyA unit completion, and Gesture in adjacent cells:ΦBUp, Φ BE, Φ BDown, Φ BWIt is constant and according to dry run (time step before or iteration Value) it is known.Here, subscript B refers on " boundary ", and the adjacent cells of Up instructions top, E indicates the adjacent cells in east side, down Indicate the adjacent cells of lower section and the adjacent cells in W instructions west side, wherein furthermore, Φ describes fluid potential or base-level correction Pressure.In Figure 19, well 300 extends through a series of each of grid blocks 302 in the directions y along longitudinal axis horizontal.If Know total well rate qTIt is input in reservoir simulator, then reservoir simulator is calculated in Figure 19 for each time step and shown Each grid block 302 gesture value Φ.
As that will state, known total rate q is added up to being formedTLayer perforation rate qiMeasurement in terms of, this hair The bright computer performance for improving reservoir simulator.
Similar to equation (16), the perforation rate q of each grid blockiIt can be represented as:
qi=PIiiw) (29)
In equation (29), productivity index is dominated by following formula:
The above-mentioned expression formula and its physical relation of reservoir parameter are according to Chen and Zhang, " Well Flow Models for Various Numerical Methods”.International Journal of Numerical Analysis and Modeling,Vol 6,No 3,pages 378-388。
Figure 21 and Figure 22 indicates flow chart G jointly, show basic computer processing sequence according to the present invention and The typical case such as the continuous fully implicit solution well model for the Model of Horizontal Well being shown in FIG. 19 using the reservoir simulation of the present invention is real Apply the computational methods occurred during example.During step 400, by the reservoir model H in initialization data processing system D and read Reservoir data and creation data, simulation is taken to start.The reservoir data and creation data read during step 400 is to be related to flow Scheme the above-mentioned type of F and the vertical well model of step 200 (Figure 11).
During step 400, the unit gesture Φ of the k unit for Model of Horizontal Well H is formedkEstimation.In Figure 19 It schematically indicates, k=nx*ny*nz.During step 402, estimating for wellbore gesture is formed according to the equation (32) being listed below Meter:
Wherein, it is distributed come the Φ in accounting equation (32) according to the initial gesture determined in step 400i
During step 404, the perforation rate q of each unit I is determined according to the relationship indicated in equation above (29)i。 In a step 406, reservoir simulator is initialized, and simulator iteration count υ is arranged to zero.For primary iteration, when simulation Between step-length t be also initialized to zero.During subsequent iteration before executing step 406, iteration count and time step meter Number then increases, as that will be set forth below.Three-dimensional is solved according to the equation (1) of single-phase petroleum streams by using reservoir simulator Potential equation determines the grid block gesture of initial time step-length during step 406.During step 408, for each perforation (i) (i=1,2, Ny) determines each perforation ΦBW, ΦB, Up, ΦBE, ΦB, DownThe boundary gesture of surrounding, and boundary gesture is stored in data In the memory of processing system D.
Then step 410 is executed with by by the grid block 302 of flow obstacle is not combined (as schemed in-between In 20A 306 at show), form simplified well model H-1 (Figure 20 B).In order to execute step 410, identification such as original level In well model system H 303 at the bottom horizontal flow sheet obstacle that shows.It can be based on log data or by Reservoir Analysis person according to original The regulations of data in beginning reservoir model is completed.The well model system model of the simplification formed during step 410 can lead to well Layer 302 those of in model H, these layers 302 are between flow obstacle grid block or layer 303 and have water between them Advection is dynamic, these layers 302 are grouped together for analysis model purpose.
As in the example of Figure 20 A and Figure 20 B it can be seen that, as step 410 as a result, Figure 20 A flowing hinder The Model of Horizontal Well H with two groups of four grid blocks 302 on the opposite side of grid block 303 is hindered to be transformed to simplified well model H-1, Simplified well model H-1 has on every side of flow obstacle grid block 303 there are two grid block 308.
Therefore the simplification well model equation of the simplification well model system H-1 in Figure 20 B becomes as shown in Figure 20 C:
Wherein,
Then, during step 410 (Figure 22), simplified well model is solved, is obtained And Φw, wherein Indicate the grid block gesture of simplified Model of Horizontal Well H-1.
During step 412, Φ is usedwModel of Horizontal Well is converted into fixed flowing base apertures gesture well.Step 414 relates to And the tridiagonal matrix system of Figure 20 C of the Model of Horizontal Well H-1 simplified shown in Figure 20 B is solved, to determine in Figure 19 The gesture of each grid 302 shown.
Referring again to Figure 22, during step 416, convergence step is executed to determine whether nonlinear iteration has restrained. The individual residual error for the equation that step 414 obtains is examined for user-defined tolerance.If these tolerances meet, exit Nonlinear iteration recycles, and solution output is written into file in current time step, and is stored in the memory of data processing system D In, and handle back to step 418 for waiting for increased time step, and the processing for increased time step proceeds to Step 406, as shown in the figure.If user-defined tolerance is confirmed as being unsatisfactory for during step 416, changed according to non-linear The processing of generation cycle back to step 406 and continues.If nonlinear iteration number becomes too big, can determine to adjust model.

In step 608, the simplification well model based on step 606, with the letter of Figure 20 C of the Model of Horizontal Well H with Figure 19 Change the comparable mode of well matrix, forms the simplification well matrix of each well.
Then, in step 610, the simplification well matrix obtained by solution procedure 608, determines the base apertures gesture of each well Φ w (l), l=1,2 ... nw.In step 612, according to equation 18 above is related to, the relationship of 18A and 18B are each to change The diagonal line of the principal matrix of wellWith right-hand vector bi?.Figure 27 is to use to solve in Figure 24 A and Figure 24 B and Figure 25 A to Figure 25 D The simplification well of the linear system of the equation of two wells of the simplification for the numbering system released, three dimensional reservoir framework or 3x3x2 reservoir models The example schematic diagram of matrix.
During step 614, for all grid blocks 502 of the unknown number of model M, exemplary total square such as Figure 27 is formed Battle array.Then the processing after the step 614 of Figure 26 proceeds to the convergence test of the mode of the step 416 of Figure 27, and iteration and Time step increases with back to step 602 for being further processed including nwTotal system in each of a well changes Generation.

As shown, the model 81 according to explicit method is inaccurate;Its complete erroneous calculations perforation rate.Explicitly The practical distribution of model method is come all wells production of the thin zone of fracture 83 indicated in the fig. 8b freely, because the layer is with highest Productivity index.
The implicit method simplified model of the present invention (computation-intensive fully implicit solution model according further to) without this distribution, It is opposite to be determined that layer 83 come from above and the support of the fluid of the layer of lower section 82.Show at 83 present in actual reservoir The onty fiuidic that the such zone of fracture gone out can obtain supports the adjacent cells from its plane.However, due to fracture Layer is very thin layer, the hydraulic conductivity on these directions study carefully its person's character for be small.Therefore, zone of fracture cannot be supported by aobvious Fluid under the rate of formula modeling.
In fact, conventional implicit well model was shown during transition time, zone of fracture supports most wells production, such as explicit Method is such.However, stressor layer rapid decrease in layer 83 and assuming the value (constant bottom hole pressure) of uniform well bore gesture. After the pressure reduction, reach stable state, and well productivity actually by from the top of perpendicular flow obstacle 83 and The contribution of the layer 82 of lower section generates.
