Description

ignition method and exploitation method for steam channeling oil reservoir
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of in-situ combustion oil extraction, in particular to an ignition method and a exploitation method of a steam channeling oil reservoir.
background
Heavy oil refers to a high viscosity heavy crude oil having a viscosity greater than 100mpa.s (millipascal seconds) at formation temperature and degassing conditions. According to the viscosity, the oil can be divided into common thick oil (100 to 10000mPa.s), extra thick oil (10000 to 50000mPa.s) and super thick oil (more than 50000 mPa.s). In the oil exploitation of oil fields, because thick oil has the characteristics of special high viscosity and high freezing point, the thick oil has poor mobility in reservoirs and mineshafts, and the conventional exploitation recovery ratio is low, namely normal economic yield cannot be ensured. To ensure reasonable recovery, oil is often recovered by reducing the viscosity of the crude oil. The prior art heavy oil recovery techniques include thermal recovery techniques. Among them, a typical thermal oil recovery method is steam stimulation recovery by injecting steam into an oil reservoir.
For heavy oil reservoirs, especially heavy oil reservoirs with high porosity and permeability, steam channeling can occur after an early steam stimulation exploitation mode. Specifically, the locations where steam channeling occurs mainly include the upper portion of the oil reservoir and the oil reservoir having a very poor permeability.
among them, the main reasons why the upper part of the oil layer is liable to cause the steam channeling are: in the prior art, the steam injection mode is generally a general injection mode, the dryness of upper steam is high, the steam channeling degree is strong, the dryness of the lower part is gradually reduced, and the steam channeling degree is weak under the same oil layer condition; meanwhile, as the steam huff and puff turns are increased, the upper portion is used more, and the large stratum is used for serious depletion.
In addition, the permeability range specifically refers to the ratio of the maximum permeability to the minimum permeability of the oil layer, and generally, when the permeability range is greater than 4, the permeability range of the oil layer is relatively large. The reason why the oil layer with extremely poor permeability is easy to cause the steam channeling is that the oil layer has strong suction capacity due to the large difference of permeability, and therefore is a steam channeling layer.
After the early stage of steam stimulation, the exploitation degree of the steam channeling layer is far greater than that of the non-steam channeling layer, and the oil saturation degree of the steam channeling layer is very low and is generally about 10%. For in-situ combustion, low oil saturation is a fatal factor of low success rate of ignition. Therefore, for a heavy oil reservoir which is easy to generate steam channeling after steam stimulation, an effective ignition method needs to be provided to solve the problem of low ignition success rate of the steam channeling heavy oil reservoir.

In this embodiment, the well pattern arrangement may be applied in a reservoir comprising at least one oil layer in the depth direction, in particular for a reservoir which may comprise a plurality of oil layers in the depth direction. Wherein, in the plurality of oil layers, an interlayer is arranged between any two adjacent oil layers.
In this embodiment, the well pattern arrangement may comprise: an injection well 1 and a production well 2 at a predetermined distance from said injection well 1. As shown in fig. 3, in a single well pattern arrangement, the number of injection wells 1 may be one, which may be located at a central position of the well pattern arrangement. The number of the production wells 2 may be plural, for example, 8. When the number of production wells 2 is 8, 8 production wells 2 may be evenly arranged around the injection well 1, forming an inverse nine-point well pattern. Of course, the particular form of the well pattern arrangement is not limited to the above examples, and the application is not specifically limited thereto. Specifically, the well spacing between the injection well 1 and the production well 2 is a well spacing between injection wells and production wells, wherein the well spacing between the injection well 1 and the production wells 2 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions such as distribution of an actual oil layer, and the application is not specifically limited herein.
in this embodiment, the first string in the injection well 1 may be used for injecting air and also for producing oil from the lower oil layer. Specifically, a first casing 10 may be disposed within the injection well 1, and the first casing 10 may be provided with an injection perforation section 15 at a depth of an oil formation.

And when the oil pressure is greater than the preset oil pressure, oil extraction is carried out through the first tubular column 12 of the injection well 1, and oil extraction is mainly carried out by starting the injection-production primary pump 12. When the primary injection and production pump 12 is used for oil extraction, the primary injection and production pump 12 is mainly used for pushing oil, gas and water in an oil layer into the injection well 1 due to steam injected into the production well 2 after steam is injected, and at the moment, the primary injection and production pump 12 is required to be utilized for extracting the oil, gas and water from the injection well 1 so as to prevent the bottom of the well from being ignited due to the oil, gas and water pushed by the steam in the production well 2 during subsequent ignition. Wherein, the production time of the injection-production one-time pump 12 can be determined according to the oil pressure.

In this case, an igniter may be directly inserted into the injection well 1, the igniter may be turned on to heat the air to about 200 ℃, and a gas, specifically, nitrogen may be injected into the first column of the injection well 1. At this time, air is continuously injected into the oil jacket annulus of the injection well 1. The injected nitrogen is used to heat displace oil from the injection well bore into the formation. Specifically, the time for injecting nitrogen may be 1-2d (days), that is, the predetermined time period may be 1-2 days, and of course, the predetermined time period may be adaptively adjusted according to the oil-gas-water discharge condition of the injection well 1, and the application is not specifically limited herein.
Then the power of the electric igniter is started to increase. When the air temperature is 400 ℃, the total ignition requirement is met, and air is continuously injected into the oil sleeve annulus of the injection well 1 at the moment, and the ignition time is kept between 7 and 15 days.

And an insulating pipe 3 extending into the oil reservoir is further arranged in the second sleeve 20, and a sieve pipe 31 is arranged outside the pipe section of the insulating pipe 3 in the oil reservoir. The heat insulation pipe 3 is used for injecting high-temperature high-pressure high-dryness steam into an oil layer so as to reduce the viscosity of the thick oil.

The thermal insulation pipe 3 has a relative head end and a tail end, wherein the head end is located in the straight well section of the production well 2, the tail end extends into the oil layer, especially when the oil reservoir contains a plurality of oil layers, all oil layers are worn to establish by the tail end, and the tail end is located in the oil layer of the lowest part. In a specific embodiment, the tail end of the thermal insulation pipe 3 is positioned at a half position of the well spacing of the injection and production well. When the tail end of the heat insulation pipe 3 is positioned at the half position of the well distance of the injection and production well, the steam injected from the heat insulation pipe 3 can be fully injected into each oil layer by a length which is economic and reasonable, and an ideal viscosity reduction effect is achieved.
In the present embodiment, the number of stages of the injection perforation stage 15 or the production perforation stage 25 may be equal to the number of layers of the oil layer. And when the number of oil layers in the oil reservoir is more than 2, the number of the injection perforation section 15 or the production perforation section 25 is more than 2. Specifically, the opening 33 of the injection perforation segment 15 may be configured in a selective perforation manner, for example, may be configured according to parameters such as permeability corresponding to an oil layer, and the application is not limited in this respect.

Furthermore, the reservoir may comprise three or more oil layers, the injection well 1 being provided with perforated sections at the location of the respective oil layers, and a first packer 16 being provided in the interval between two adjacent oil layers.
Further, a heat insulation layer 17 is arranged between the position below the first packer 16 and the injection-production primary pump 12. The insulation layer 17 is primarily used to ensure that the igniter outlet air is maintained at a higher temperature.
For example, the length of the thermal insulation layer 17 may be 50 meters, and of course, the length of the thermal insulation layer 17 is not limited to the above examples, and may be adjusted according to the distribution of the actual oil reservoir, and the like, and the application is not limited in this respect. The specific form of the thermal insulation layer 17 may be an insulation layer provided outside the oil pipe and having a thermal insulation function, and the thermal insulation layer 17 may also be a pipe column directly having a thermal insulation function, although the specific form of the thermal insulation layer 17 is not limited to the above examples, and the present application is not limited thereto.
In a specific embodiment, when the reservoir comprises a first oil layer and a second oil layer along a depth direction, wherein the first oil layer is located at an upper portion of the second oil layer, the first injection perforation segment 15 is located within the first oil layer, and the second injection perforation segment 15 is located within the second oil layer, the injection-production secondary pump 12 is located within the second injection perforation segment 15. That is, the injection-production one-time pump 12 is located in the depth range of the lowest oil layer, which can be used to inject air into the oil layer on the one hand, and can produce oil in the oil layer to the surface on the other hand.

Specifically, the intensity of the injected air may be 500 squares per meter of oil layer thickness. When the injection strength of the air is 500 square of the thickness of each meter of oil layer, an ideal oxidation effect can be achieved.

In most cases, the reservoir includes a plurality of oil zones, wherein an uppermost zone is an upper zone, and the predetermined locations in the injection well include: the upper oil layer and an oil layer having a permeability greater than a predetermined value. Wherein, the permeability is larger than the predetermined value, which indicates that the oil layer is a high permeability oil layer, and the permeability range is larger than 3. The permeability grade difference (K mn) is the ratio of the maximum permeability (K max) to the minimum permeability (K min), and shows the distribution range and the difference degree of the permeability, wherein K mn is Kmax/K min and the permeability grade difference (K mn) is larger than l. For oil layers with very poor permeability greater than 3, a high permeability layer is defined.
When injecting air, it is preferable to inject air into the upper oil layer and the high-permeability oil layer through an injection well. The specific reasons are as follows: firstly, because the oil layer has a fast temperature rise speed and a high permeable layer has strong air suction capacity, the formation temperature is high in the steam injection huff-puff process in the early stage, the low-temperature oxidation heat release is facilitated, the low-temperature oxidation reaction is fast when air enters the formation, when the steam is injected by the opposite side, the oil layer can be heated by the heat of the steam and the low-temperature oxidation heat release, and the oil layer has a fast temperature rise speed; secondly, the lighter components are pushed by the steam/hot water firstly, the temperature of the stratum rises, low-temperature oxidation is intensified after the steam/hot water meets air, the steam/hot water further rises, and the fire is easy to catch fire. I.e. the horizons can be ignited without an igniter.
Detecting the temperature change at a preset position in the injection well while injecting steam through an injection pipe column of the production well, and determining the next process by judging the temperature change condition at the preset position of the injection well.
When the temperature at a predetermined location in the injection well rises to a first preset temperature it is indicated that the ignition temperature of the lighter component has been reached at this point.
At this time, the injection of steam into the injection string of the production well can be stopped, and the oil pump in the second string of the production well is opened to recover oil.
specifically, the first preset temperature may be 250 to 300 ℃. When the temperature reaches the above temperature range, the oil layer is on fire because the lighter components burn under underground conditions at a fire temperature of 200 ℃ to 250 ℃.
When the number of layers of the oil layer of the oil reservoir is multiple, steam can be respectively injected into the injection pipe column of the production well in a layered injection mode. And continuously injecting the well air in the steam injection process of the production well without stopping.
In the embodiment, by detecting the air temperature at the outlet position of the injection well, when the air temperature at the outlet position reaches a second preset temperature, an igniter is put into the injection well, and the igniter is started to ignite after the igniter is put to the bottom boundary of an oil layer. That is, in this embodiment, the initial position of the igniter is in a position close to the oil layer at the lowermost end, and when the oil reservoir includes a plurality of oil layers, it is not necessary to perform mobile ignition because after the lowermost oil layer is ignited, the temperature of the oil layer is raised by the heat of combustion of the oil layer, and the air will get a chance of secondary heating when passing through, so that the temperature of the air can reach the ignition requirement.
wherein the second preset temperature is above 400 ℃. When the air temperature at the outlet of the injection well reaches above 400 ℃, the temperature requirement that the oil layer at the moment can meet electric ignition is indicated.
in the embodiment of the application, in the whole ignition process, the original steam channeling layer is ignited by utilizing the heat of both steam and air low-temperature oxidation heat release, because the steam pushes the oil-containing saturation near the injection well, especially the oil-containing saturation of the light component, the low-temperature oxidation heat release rate of the light component is high, thereby being beneficial to rapid temperature rise and achieving the ignition requirement. And (4) igniting non-steam-channeling layers by utilizing steam and the heat of an igniter, wherein the layers have high oil saturation and are easy to ignite. In addition, the ignited steam channeling layer can transfer heat upwards and downwards after a temperature field is formed, the temperature field of the subsequent layer to be ignited is improved, the ignition effect is improved in an auxiliary mode, and the ignition success rate of the steam channeling heavy oil reservoir can be greatly improved on the whole.
In one embodiment, the reservoir comprises a plurality of oil layers, and at the position of each oil layer, the first pipe column and the second pipe column are provided with perforated sections at the positions of the oil layers, and the perforated sections are located in a preset thickness range of the oil layer close to the lower part.
in this embodiment, the casing layers corresponding to the first and second columns of the injection and production wells of the oil reservoir are provided with perforated sections for communicating with the oil layer, and the perforated sections may be located in the middle lower part of the oil layer, and may be located within a predetermined thickness range near the lower part, for example, may be below 2/3 thickness. When steam or air is injected into the oil layer from the perforation section, the utilization rate of the steam or air can be preferably improved. Specifically, the injected steam or air may contact or react with the oil in the lower-middle portion of the oil layer, and then transfer heat upward, thereby driving the upper oil layer to flow together.
Furthermore, the number of perforations in the unit length of each perforation segment is determined according to the current permeability of an oil layer corresponding to the perforation segment, the average permeability of the oil reservoir, the average number of perforations in the unit length and the theoretical number of perforations in the unit length.
the determination formula of the number of perforations per meter of the perforation section is as follows:
N=N0-(A-A0)/(A0/N0)
Wherein N represents the number of perforations per meter of perforation segment, and the unit is hole/meter; n0 represents the average number of perforations per meter, in units of perforations per meter; a represents the current permeability of the reservoir in Darcy; a0 represents the average permeability of the reservoir in Darcy.
the determination of the number of perforations per meter of perforation segments is illustrated below in connection with table 2.

740.2 11 5
176.3 -10 26
560.9 4 12
284.8 -6 22
Taking the first permeability in table 2 as an example, the current permeability is 583, the average value of the permeability is 442, the average number of perforations is 16/m, and the perforation difference 5 (583 + 442)/(442/16), then the theoretical number of perforations is 16-5-11 perforations/m
