Description

Electromagnetic heating method for improving recovery ratio of thickened oil
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of crude oil exploitation, in particular to an electromagnetic heating method for improving the recovery ratio of thick oil.
Background
The Heavy Oil is commonly called Heavy crude Oil (Heavy Oil) internationally, and the crude Oil with extremely high viscosity is also called Tar Sand (Tar Sand Oil), and is collectively called Heavy Oil in China. The Chinese thick oil resource is widely distributed, mainly distributed in Liaohe oil area, Xinjiang oil area, Shengli oil area and Henan oil area, and also distributed in Daqing, Jilin and Dagang oil area in a small amount. The high viscosity of the thick oil leads to poor fluidity, so that the technical key of thick oil exploitation is mainly to improve the flow capacity of the thick oil. At present, heavy oil recovery modes mainly comprise steam stimulation, steam flooding, in-situ combustion and the like, but the methods cannot be successfully applied all the time due to different stratum conditions of actual oil reservoirs, and the most common failure reasons comprise overhigh heat loss of an injection well and the reservoir, low injection capacity of the reservoir, asphalt precipitation, steam loss, greenhouse gas emission and the like. In order to increase the recovery of heavy oil, an alternative to steam flooding, which involves electromagnetic heating, is sought. Electromagnetic heating is a rapid, efficient and environment-friendly heating mode, and has been researched and applied to exploitation of unconventional oil and gas resources such as thickened oil, oil sand, oil shale, coal bed gas and the like.
Electromagnetic waves, particularly high frequency electromagnetic waves, are high in frequency and short in wavelength, and have a limited transmission distance in the formation. Under the stratum condition, when an antenna is installed underground to emit electromagnetic waves for heating a thick oil stratum in a radiation mode, in an electromagnetic penetration area (near-wellbore area), although the temperature near a wellbore can be rapidly increased, due to the fact that the thermal conductivity coefficient of stratum rock is low, the efficiency of the electromagnetic penetration area for transferring heat to a far end is low, if the thick oil stratum is continuously heated by electromagnetic wave radiation for a long time, too high temperature can be generated in the electromagnetic penetration area around an electromagnetic heating well, once the area with the too high temperature is formed, the viscosity of thick oil is reduced along with the increase of the temperature at first, but if the temperature exceeds 500 ℃, the thick oil can be cracked to generate small molecule gas, and the yield of the thick oil is reduced. Meanwhile, if the temperature of the overheating area is continuously increased, the temperature-resistant material of the shaft is damaged, and potential safety hazards are caused.
Therefore, how to improve the recovery efficiency of thick oil by using electromagnetic heating, and simultaneously ensure the production efficiency and the production safety is a problem to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.
