The article was published in issue no. № 3, 2019 [ pp. 478-485 ]Abstract:The main oil field development strategy in Russia is waterflooding (water injection into an oil reservoir for oil displacement and pressure maintenance). Nowadays, most Russian oil fields are at the 3rd and 4th development stages, which means high water cut of produced liquid (90% and more). Main objec-tive of reservoir engineers is water production reduction (if possible) and oil production increase. These conditions require significant control and oil reservoir development regulation. To implement such activities, specialists need a solution for fast simulation of significant reservoirs and for fast evaluation of multiple development scenarios for testing hypothesis for geological struc-ture, history matching and production optimization. This approach is relevant for fractured porous res-ervoirs that have significant heterogeneity of filtration-conductivity properties. This fact causes early watercut growth in producing wells and leads to limitation of field production project targets. The paper proposes a methodology of numerical simulation of fractured porous oil reservoirs de-velopment based on the superelement conception. The model simulates two-phase filtration in a dual-porosity reservoir. A numerical scheme is fully explicit. The set of conservation equations is approxi-mated on a super-elements grid. This fact increases calculation speed and simplifies model generation (as cell dimension is consistent with well spacing). Calculation accuracy check requires production history matching. The proposed calculation methodology is tested on a real field example and checked by simulation in Rubis Kappa Engineering. Good matching results have been achieved at model training stages and forecast simulation.
Аннотация:Основной технологией разработки нефтяных месторождений в России является заводнение (закачка в нефтяной пласт воды для вытеснения нефти и поддержания пластового давления). При этом большая часть нефтяных месторождений нашей страны находится на 3-й или 4-й стадии раз-работки, что означает высокую обводненность добываемой жидкости (90 % и более). Основная задача специалистов по разработке нефтяных месторождений – уменьшить добычу воды и (по возможности) увеличить добычу нефти. В этих условиях много внимания уделяется контролю и регулированию разработки нефтяных месторождений. Для выполнения этих работ специалистам необходим инструмент, позволяющий быстро строить модели значительных по размерам месторождений и оперативно рассчитывать большое количество сценариев для проверки гипотез о геологическом строении, адаптации модели и решения задач оптимизации разработки. Наиболее актуально это для трещиновато-пористых коллекторов, поскольку они характеризуются высокой неоднородностью фильтрационно-емкостных свойств. Это провоцирует опережающее обводнение добывающих скважин, что препятствует достижению проектных показателей разработки месторождений. Предлагается методика численного математического моделирования разработки нефтяных месторождений в карбонатных трещиновато-поровых коллекторах на базе концепции суперэлементов. Фильтрация двухфазная, применена концепция двойной пористости. Численная схема полностью явная. Система уравнений сохранения аппроксимирована по пространству на суперэлементной сетке. Это позволяет существенно увеличить скорость вычислений и упростить построение моделей (так как размер ячеек сопоставим с расстоянием между скважинами). Для корректных расчетов необходима адаптация на историю разработки. Предлагаемая методика тестируется на модели реального месторождения, результаты расчетов сравниваются с расчетами на коммерческом симуляторе Rubis Kappa Engineering. Получены хорошее совпадение на этапе обучения модели и удовлетворительное совпадение результатов прогнозных расчетов.
