Numerical simulation study of CO2 immiscible flooding in ultra-low permeability reservoir

Horizontal well hydraulic fracture construction technology has already become the main development means of low permeability reservoir, and the crack initiation pressure is a key factor in fracture construction. Taking ABAQUS as the platform, combined with rock mechanics, elastic mechanics, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics and fluid-solid coupling theory, to establish horizontal well mechanical model, crack initiation law of horizontal well under different conditions were obtained by using finite element method. According to the horizontal well fracture tested data in Daqing peripheral oil fields, the crack initiation pressure and numerical simulation results are in good agreement, it shows that the numerical simulation method is reasonable, then analyze influence factor of crack initiation pressure on the basis.

Porosity And Permeability

Daqing Wuzhan gas field is a deformable low permeability gas filed. Based on the lab study of changing law of porosity and permeability with confining pressure, a numerical simulation model of deformable low permeability gas reservoir is established and is solved by using IMPES method. Comparing with the result of eclipse shows the method is valid. Field example shows the dynamic geological reserves of Wuzhan gas field is low and the new wells should be drilled at the area where there is production potential and larger effective thickness. Comparison of results obtained from different models with field data shows the result considering medium deformation is more reasonable.
