摘要:

底水锥进是底水气藏开发的重要问题。有关临界产量计算模型的物理模型一般假设地层流体为达西渗流,忽略非达西渗流压降。对于高产气井,近井地带流体渗流速度很大,非达西渗流阻力不可忽略。笔者在临界产量计算模型中考虑高速非达西渗流对底水锥进的影响,引入拟表皮系数,建立了考虑非达西渗流的底水锥进临界产量计算模型,计算中避免了非达西渗流半径的复杂计算过程。为量化非达西渗流的影响,应用数值模拟方法,通过建立高渗、中渗、低渗底水气藏数值模型,模拟产能试井过程并建立产能方程,计算了考虑非达西渗流的底水锥进临界产量。结果表明:低渗气藏非达西渗流对临界产量计算结果的影响可以忽略;当渗透率为30 mD、射孔厚度为208.3m、避水高度为31 m时,未考虑非达西渗流的临界产量误差为14.46%,非达西渗流影响不可忽略。因此当渗透率大于30 mD时,应选用考虑非达西渗流的底水锥进临界产量计算模型,更符合实际储层流体渗流规律。

Abstract:

Water coning is an important issue in the development of bottom-water-drive gas reservoirs. Physical models for calculating critical production rates generally assume that formation fluids are Darcy flow in reservoirs, which ignores the pressure drop caused by non-Darcy flow. However, the fluid flow velocity near wellbore areas in high production gas wells is so great that the pressure drop caused by non-Darcy flow should not be ignored. We investigated the influence of non-Darcy flow on water coning in models for calculating critical production rates and derived a new calculation model with full consideration of non-Darcy flow by introducing a pseudo-skin factor. This model avoids complex calculations of the non-Darcy flow radius, adopts numerical simulation methods to quantify the influence of non-Darcy flow, and calculates critical production rates with full consideration of the non-Darcy flow bottom-water coning through establishing numerical models for low-, middle-and high-permeability gas reservoirs driven by bottom water, respectively, simulating deliverability testing processes and upbuilding deliverability equations. The calculation results indicated that the influence of non-Darcy flow on critical production rates could be ignored in a low-permeability gas reservoir, while an error of the critical production rate without consideration of non-Darcy flow reached 14.46% when the permeability was 30 mD, the perforation thickness was 208.3 m and the water avoidance thickness was 31 m. Therefore, a model for calculating critical production rates of water coning with consideration of non-Darcy flow should be applied so as to be more accordant with the actual flow law of reservoir fluids when the permeability is higher than 30 mD.
