Description

Method for determining front dynamic position of thickened oil steam injection thermal oil extraction gas interface
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of petroleum exploration and development, in particular to a method for determining the front edge dynamic position of a thickened oil steam injection thermal oil extraction gas interface.
Background
The thickened oil and asphalt in the crude oil resources found in the world occupy about 70%, play an important role in the replacement of crude oil reserves meeting the world future energy demands, and how to efficiently and reasonably guide the thickened oil exploitation is a difficult problem to be solved at present.
The fourth biggest heavy oil country is the fourth biggest heavy oil country, the heavy oil resources are quite abundant and widely distributed, and the heavy oil resources are distributed in more than 70 oil fields of 12 basins, wherein the Tahe oil field, liaohe oil field, the victory oil field and the original oil field are main heavy oil production bases of the country. The burial depth of the thick oil reservoir in China is generally more than 800m and less than 2000m. Although shallow in burying, the thick oil has high viscosity and is difficult to flow at normal temperature, and meanwhile, the geological conditions of China are complex, and some impermeable rock stratum exists in the stratum, so that the thick oil is more difficult to extract. In order to extract the abundant resources, china uses a series of thermal recovery technologies for extracting the thick oil in Canada, wherein the steam injection thermal recovery technology is the most effective technology for extracting the thick oil, particularly for extracting shallow and ultra-high viscosity oil reservoirs, and the injected hot steam releases latent heat to heat the crude oil and reduce the viscosity of the crude oil, so that the extraction of the thick oil is realized, and the method has the characteristics of high oil-gas ratio, high oil extraction rate and high recovery ratio.
However, steam injection thermal recovery requires a large amount of energy, and therefore, a more reasonable development scheme must be established for the development mode of heavy oil thermal recovery. The dynamic position of the front edge of the hydrocarbon interface refers to the position of the steam at the junction with cold oil in the stratum expansion process, and under the geological condition containing an impermeable stratum, the steam mainly has five stages in the stratum, namely a vertical movement stage of the steam, a transverse movement stage (divided into a front stage and a rear stage) after the steam meets the impermeable layer in the stratum, a second vertical movement stage of the steam, a transverse movement stage (divided into a front stage and a rear stage) of the steam along the cover layer, and a downward movement stage of the steam. The front dynamic position of the oil-gas interface is an important index for the design of a heavy oil reservoir development scheme, can help developers to determine the current reservoir exploitation progress, assists the developers to design reasonable steam injection amount, avoids resource waste and saves development cost. Therefore, a method for determining the front dynamic position of the thick oil steam injection thermal oil production gas interface is needed, and technical support is provided for efficient development of thick oil reservoirs in oil fields.
