Abstract
The invention discloses a method for optimizing an underground gas storage operation pressure interval by utilizing a microseism monitoring technology. Research shows that no related research results for optimizing the operation pressure interval of the gas storage by utilizing the microseism monitoring technology exist in China.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of safety monitoring of gas reservoirs and microseism data processing in geophysical exploration, and particularly relates to a method for optimizing an operation pressure interval of a subsurface gas reservoir by utilizing a microseism monitoring technology.
Background
The operation pressure interval of the gas storage is an important parameter affecting the gas storage capacity and the working capacity of the gas storage. The higher the upper limit of the operation pressure is, the lower limit is, the higher the space utilization rate of the gas storage is, the larger the storage capacity and the working gas amount are, and the stronger the peak shaving capacity is. However, during operation of the gas storage, too high or too low pressure may induce rock cracking activity, resulting in failure of the integrity seal of the gas storage geologic body and leakage of natural gas. Therefore, a reasonable operation pressure interval can ensure the storage capacity and the working capacity of the gas storage to the greatest extent, and can ensure the safe operation of the gas storage, so that the gas storage is an important parameter in the operation process of the gas storage.
The gas storage operating pressure interval contains an upper pressure limit and a lower pressure limit. The upper pressure is the maximum formation pressure during operation of the reservoir. In China, the original stratum pressure of the reservoir is generally selected as the upper limit operation pressure of the gas storage, but the upper limit pressure can be properly improved for anticline or broken anticline structures which are complete in structure, good in cover layer sealing performance and not developed in internal fracture. The maximum pressure which can be born by the effective seal of the trap is predicted by analyzing the sealing effectiveness of the cover layer, the fault, the overflow point and the boundary stratum, and the upper limit pressure is comprehensively determined by combining the original stratum pressure of the gas reservoir. The lower pressure is the minimum formation pressure during operation of the reservoir. The lower limit pressure is determined by comprehensively considering factors such as the working gas quantity, the well peak regulation gas production inlet pressure, the stratum water invasion, the injection well number and the like, and simulating and analyzing multiple factors such as the working gas quantity, the stratum water invasion fluid distribution, the reservoir plane, the longitudinal effective utilization and the like under different lower limit pressures through a three-dimensional visual numerical simulation technology reflecting the formation heterogeneity and the anisotropy characteristics.
At present, the value methods of the upper and lower limit pressures in the operation pressure interval are based on the rock mechanics indoor test and numerical simulation, and are theoretical research results, and the actual operation condition of the gas storage is more complex and influenced by more factors. It is necessary to adjust and optimize according to the actual situation.
