Research and Application of Low-Velocity Nonlinear Seepage Model for Unconventional Mixed Tight Reservoir

Le résumé fourni par la source

Due to factors such as low porosity and permeability, thin sand body thickness, and strong interlayer heterogeneity, the fluid flow in the tight reservoir (beach-bar sandstone reservoir) exhibits obvious nonlinear seepage characteristics. Considering the time-varying physical parameters of different types of sand bodies, a nonlinear seepage coefficient is derived based on permeability and capillary force, and a low-velocity nonlinear seepage model for beach bar sand reservoirs is established. Based on core displacement experiments of different types of sand bodies, the low-velocity nonlinear seepage coefficient was fitted and numerical simulation of low-velocity nonlinear seepage in beach-bar sandstone reservoirs was carried out. The research results show that the displacement pressure and flow rate of low-permeability tight reservoirs exhibit a significant nonlinear relationship. The lower the permeability and the smaller the displacement pressure, the more significant the nonlinear seepage characteristics. Compared to the bar sand reservoir, the water injection pressure in the tight reservoir of the beach sand is higher. In the nonlinear seepage model, the bottom hole pressure of the water injection well increases by 10.56% compared to the linear model, indicating that water injection is more difficult in the beach sand reservoir. Compared to matrix type beach sand reservoirs, natural fractures can effectively reduce the impact of fluid nonlinear seepage characteristics on the injection and production process of beach sand reservoirs. Based on the nonlinear seepage characteristics, the beach-bar sandstone reservoir can be divided into four flow zones during the injection production process, including linear seepage zone, nonlinear seepage zone, non-flow zone affected by pressure, and non-flow zone not affected by pressure. The research results can effectively guide the development of beach-bar sandstone reservoirs, reduce the impact of low-speed nonlinear seepage, and enhance oil recovery.
