Definitions
- the invention relates to methods for determining the degree of dryness of steam in the implementation of thermal effects on reservoirs with high viscosity oil.
- Heat treatment of bottom-hole zones of wells is widely used in the oil industry to intensify the production of heavy viscous oils.
- the applied traditional method of heat and steam exposure consists in pumping the calculated volume of coolant through injection wells. Most often, saturated water vapor with a degree of dryness of 0.7 - 0.8 is used as a heat carrier.
- Steam dryness is one of the critical parameters of thermal methods for the development of heavy oils, based on the injection of steam into the reservoir. In the process of delivering steam from the surface to the depths of the perforation interval, part of the steam condenses into water due to heat exchange with the surrounding rocks. In the case of deep occurrence of reservoir layers, insufficient thermal insulation of wells, low injection rates, etc., steam can completely condense into hot water. This will lead to a violation of the concepts of thermal development methods (steam displacement, steam and thermal treatment of wells) and a decrease in their efficiency due to the rapid disappearance of internal energy as a result of steam condensation.
- Patent RF patent 1046665, 1983 describes a method for determining the degree of dryness of steam, which consists in measuring static pressure and two control parameters that are functionally related to the degree of dryness of steam.
- the closest analogue of the claimed invention is a method for determining the degree of dryness of steam in a well, comprising injecting steam into the well and determining the degree of dryness of steam at various points in the well (US patent 4581926, 04/15/1986).
- the known method involves lowering into the well a special device with a rotating element, measuring the speed and density of the stream and then calculating the flow rate and degree of dryness of the vapor at any point along the entire length of the well.
- the disadvantage of this method is the need to use an additional device and the complexity of the calculation.
- the technical result achieved by the implementation of the invention is to provide a simple field-applicable method that does not require the use of additional equipment to determine the degree of dryness of steam directly in the process of thermal exposure of formations with high-viscosity oil.
- This technical result is achieved due to the fact that non-condensable gas is added to the saturated water vapor injected into the well under the conditions of the injection process, and the degree of dryness of steam at different points of the well is calculated by the formula:
- P steam, s is the partial pressure of steam at the condensation temperature T s at the wellhead
- P s t eam , m is the partial vapor pressure at the condensation temperature T m at a given point (m) in the wellbore
- z is the compressibility of steam (steam) and non-condensable gas (gas) at the wellhead (s) and at this point (m ) in the wellbore.
- the values of the total and partial pressures P m , P s t eam, s and P steam, m are determined from the temperature measurements T s and T m at these points (before and after injection of non-condensable gas).
- the amount of non-condensable gas is not more than 30% of the total mass of the vapor-gas mixture.
- Adding non-condensable gas in amounts up to 30% allows you to get a noticeable signal of temperature drop (from 30 ° to 50 °), which can be used in the calculation. Adding more non-condensable gas is impractical for economic and technological reasons (there may be a significant decrease in temperature).
- hydrocarbon gases methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc.
- nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc. can be used.
- the proposed method for determining the degree of dryness of steam is based on the fact that the presence of non-condensable gas in the mixture changes the partial pressure of the vapor. Thus, the temperature also changes. steam condensation. Therefore, the results of measuring the temperature or pressure in the wellbore can be used to assess the degree of dryness of the steam.
- the partial pressure of the component p j is equal to the product of the molar fraction of this component in the gas V j and the total pressure of the system p:
- Mstat ⁇ gas r ⁇ steat P s is the injection pressure at the wellhead
- P steam s is the partial vapor pressure at the condensation temperature T s at the wellhead
- w, ⁇ , z is the mass flow rate, molecular weight, and vapor compressibility, respectively ( steam) and non-condensable gas (gas).
- g is the known dryness of the vapor at the wellhead.
- the method is as follows.
- the degree of dryness of steam at the bottom of the well is 44%.
- the undoubted advantage of the proposed method is its simplicity and applicability in the field. It does not require the installation of additional measuring equipment in the well. Temperature measurements can be obtained using distributed temperature measurement systems, as well as the results of traditional thermometry.
