For the trends of global climate warming, it is great important to implement the Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. This paper describes the numerical simulation of CO2 displacement enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in M reservoir. The M reservoir is an extra-thick buried hill fractured reservoir, which use overlap alternative horizontal well pattern to produce. Considering the time-varying effects of fracture’s porosity and permeability parameters, combining the develop dynamic and the diversification of physical property parameters of fractured formation, use the dual porosity dual permeability model and the three-dimensional components simulator to simulate the develop process. By CO2 WAG orthogonal experiment design, can simulate and predict the development effect of fractured buried hill reservoir affected by factors such as: different production and injection well pattern, injection intensity, gas water slug ratio, alternating cycle and so on. The results show that in the process of CO2 WAG can significantly reduce the risk of gas breakthrough by overlap alternative horizontal well pattern, and reduce the negative impact by fracture properties, also can improve EOR and CO2 sequestration effectively. On this basis, this paper evaluates the suitability of WAG development methods to fractured buried hill reservoir with overlap alternative horizontal well pattern, also optimizes the reasonable development plan for M reservoir.

Ultralow Permeability

Low-permeability to ultralow-permeability reservoirs of the China National Petroleum Corporation are crucial to increase the reserve volumes and the production of crude oil in the present and future times. This study aimed to address the two major technical bottlenecks faced by the low-permeability to ultralow-permeability reservoirs by a comprehensive use of technologies and methods such as rate-controlled mercury injection, nuclear magnetic resonance, conventional logging, physical simulation, numerical simulation, and field practices. The reservoir characteristics of low-permeability to ultralow-permeability reservoirs were first analyzed. The water flooding development adjustment mode in the middle and high water-cut stages for the low-permeability to ultralow-permeability reservoirs, where water is injected along the fracture zone and lateral displacement were established. The formation mechanism and distribution principles of dynamic fractures, residual oil description, and expanding sweep volume were studied. The development mode for Type II ultralow-permeability reservoirs with a combination of horizontal well and volume fracturing was determined; this led to a significant improvement in the initial stages of single-well production. The volume fracturing core theory and optimization design, horizontal well trajectory optimization adjustment, horizontal well injection-production well pattern optimization, and horizontal well staged fracturing suitable for reservoirs with different characteristics were developed. This understanding of the reservoir characteristics and the breakthrough of key technologies for effective development will substantially support the oil-gas valent weight of the Changqing Oilfield to exceed 50 million tons per year, the stable production of the Daqing Oilfield with 40 million tons per year (oil-gas valent weight), and the realization of 20 million tons per year (oil-gas valent weight) in the Xinjiang Oilfield.

Fractured Horizontal Well

Summary Non-Darcy flow and the stress-sensitivity effect are two fundamental issues that have been widely investigated in transient pressure analysis for fractured wells. The main object of this work is to establish a semianalytical solution to quantify the combined effects of non-Darcy flow and stress sensitivity on the transient pressure behavior for a fractured horizontal well in a naturally fractured reservoir. More specifically, the Barree-Conway model is used to quantify the non-Darcy flow behavior in the hydraulic fractures (HFs), while the permeability modulus is incorporated into mathematical models to take into account the stress-sensitivity effect. In this way, the resulting nonlinearity of the mathematical models is weakened by using Pedrosa's transform formulation. Then a semianalytical method is applied to solve the coupled nonlinear mathematical models by discretizing each HF into small segments. Furthermore, the pressure response and its corresponding derivative type curve are generated to examine the combined effects of non-Darcy flow and stress sensitivity. In particular, stress sensitivity in HF and natural-fracture (NF) subsystems can be respectively analyzed, while the assumption of an equal stress-sensitivity coefficient in the two subsystems is no longer required. It is found that non-Darcy flow mainly affects the early stage bilinear and linear flow regime, leading to an increase in pressure drop and pressure derivative. The stress-sensitivity effect is found to play a significant role in those flow regimes beyond the compound-linear flow regime. The existence of non-Darcy flow makes the effect of stress sensitivity more remarkable, especially for the low-conductivity cases, while the stress sensitivity in fractures has a negligible influence on the early time period, which is dominated by non-Darcy flow behavior. Other parameters such as storage ratio and crossflow coefficient are also analyzed and discussed. It is found from field applications that the coupled model tends to obtain the most-reasonable matching results, and for that model there is an excellent agreement between the measured and simulated pressure response.

Interpretation Method

Stress-sensitive widely exists in fractured reservoir. In this paper, a mathematical model of flow in stress-sensitive reservoir with horizontal well is established based on experimental data and with process of linearization. By using of Lord Kelvin point-source solution, Bessel function integration and Poisson superimpose formula, the dimensionless pressure response function of horizontal well in infinite stress-sensitive reservoir is obtained. And then the derivative type curve is calculated. Based on the type curve, the characteristics and influencing factors of the fluid flow through porous medium of horizontal well in stress-sensitive gas reservoir are analyzed.
