Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention will be provided with reference to the drawings and examples, so that how to apply the technical means to solve the technical problems and achieve the technical effects can be fully understood and implemented. It should be noted that, as long as there is no conflict, the embodiments and the features of the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other, and the technical solutions formed are within the scope of the present invention.
The bottom water oil reservoir in China has a large proportion of reserves of all types of oil reservoirs, and the reserves are quite rich. In addition to the large number of natural bottom water reservoirs, as oil fields enter two or three times of exploitation, the development characteristics of more oil fields are constantly trending toward bottom water type reservoirs. The bottom water oil reservoir has the characteristic that the oil-containing area is completely contacted with the bottom water, which is not only a place where the bottom water oil reservoir is superior to other oil reservoirs in the aspect of development, but also a place where the bottom water oil reservoir is difficult to develop.
The development experience of the bottom water oil field at home and abroad shows that: the key technology of bottom water oil layer development is to inhibit water coning or control bottom water coning, prolong the waterless oil extraction period of the oil well to the maximum extent and control bottom water uniform displacement, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the development effect of the bottom water oil layer. The prior technical measures are mainly embodied as follows: optimizing perforation and controlling critical yield and critical pressure difference, developing a bottom water oil layer by adopting a horizontal well and forming an artificial interlayer near an oil-water interface to block bottom water; in the middle and later development period, a well-packing adjustment technology, a double-layer well completion technology, an oil-water separate recovery technology and the like are adopted. With the development and wide application of the numerical reservoir simulation technology, some main factors influencing the development of the bottom water reservoir are revealed by establishing a relatively fine reservoir geological model: such as reservoir sedimentary rhythm, vertical horizontal permeability ratio, interlayer size and position, edge and bottom water energy, oil-water viscosity ratio, well spacing, oil well jet-opening degree and the like, so as to determine a more effective development strategy.
When the oil reservoir development parameters are optimized and new technologies are verified, physical simulation experiments are not required, and the fact that how to more closely simulate the bottom water conditions of the oil reservoir is one of the keys of successful experiments. Researchers at home and abroad carry out a great deal of research on the aspect of physically simulating an oil displacement device, and strive for simulation experiments which can be closer to real oil reservoir conditions. However, in the technical schemes of the existing various physical simulation devices, part of the problems that the experimental temperature and pressure conditions cannot meet the actual requirements of the oil reservoir exist, and part of the problems that the simulation of bottom water energy is insufficient exist.
Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a system and a method for implementing a bottom water reservoir recovery simulation experiment. The system and the method comprise the following steps: the device comprises an injection device, a side and bottom water simulation device, a production device and a model device. The model device is respectively communicated with other devices in the system and is used for simulating porous media at corresponding positions in the oil reservoir; the injection device is used for introducing an injection medium into the model device in the experiment implementation process so as to simulate the oil displacement process in the oil reservoir porous medium; the edge bottom water simulation device is used for injecting edge bottom water simulation fluid meeting the experiment requirement into the model device and keeping the edge bottom water energy obtained by the model device in a sufficient state; the production device is used to collect the production fluid and measure the corresponding production data. Therefore, the invention can simulate the actual recovery condition of the side-bottom water reservoir accurately under the conditions of the side-bottom water existence, high temperature and high pressure through the technical scheme.
In addition, the invention achieves the effects of filling fluid for displacement of reservoir oil, filling fluid for huff and puff, and developing a plurality of different forms for simulation by using the bottom water energy attenuation by configuring different connection modes for each device in the system. Furthermore, the invention simulates various well types such as a vertical well, a horizontal well and the like and edge bottom water reservoirs at different position conditions by configuring different structural characteristics for the model device.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an overall structure of a system for implementing a bottom-edge water reservoir recovery simulation experiment according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 1, an overall structure of a system (hereinafter, referred to as an "experimental system") for implementing a bottom-edge water reservoir recovery simulation experiment according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.
As shown in fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the experimental system at least includes: the injection device 100, the edge bottom water simulation device 200, the model device 300 and the extraction device 400. The model device 300 is used for simulating a porous core medium in the bottom water reservoir, so that simulation of a rock medium in the bottom water reservoir is realized. An experimental core is constructed in the model device 300, and the experimental core can be a core sample at different positions in the bottom-edge water reservoir and has rock characteristics at corresponding positions. Therefore, the production conditions of the bottom water reservoir under different position conditions can be simulated by configuring the experimental rock cores representing the rock characteristics of different positions in the bottom water reservoir.
The model device 300 is communicated with other devices in the system, namely, the model device 300 is communicated with the injection device 100, the model device 300 is communicated with the bottom water simulation device 200, and the model device 300 is communicated with the extraction device 400.
Further, the injection device 100 is used to inject an injection medium into the model device 300 during the (bottom water reservoir recovery) experiment. These injection media include, but are not limited to: clean water, oilfield reinjection water, polymer solution, alkali liquor, surfactant solution, composite flooding solution and CO2、N2Air, flue gas, natural gas, etc. These fluid media are primarily used to drive the crude oil in the reservoir porous media. Specifically, the injection device 100 includes at least: a reservoir (101, not shown), an injection pump (102, not shown) and an injection pressure monitoring unit (103, not shown). The reservoir 101 is used to store an injection medium. The injection pump 102 is used to pump the injection medium required for the experiment into the model device 300. An injection pressure monitoring unit (103, not shown) is disposed at the connection interface between the injection device 100 and the mold device 300 for real-time monitoring of the injection end pressure of the system. In the embodiment of the invention, the injection pump 102 is selected from one of common fluid injection devices such as a plunger pump, a constant flow pump and the like, the displacement of the pump can be between 1mL/min and 200mL/min, and the displacement is as large as possible.
Further, the production device 400 is used to collect the recovery fluid from the model device 300 and measure the corresponding recovery data during the (bottom water reservoir recovery) experiment. In an embodiment of the invention, recovery device 400 includes at least: a back pressure device 401 (not shown), an oil-gas-water separation device 402 (not shown), a production pressure monitoring unit 403 (not shown), and a metering unit 404 (not shown) provided at different positions. A back pressure device 401 is provided at the interface where the recovery device 400 and the model device 300 are connected to regulate the outlet pressure of the system. The oil, gas and water separation device 402 is used to perform oil, water and gas separation on the recovered fluid. The recovery pressure monitoring unit 403 is disposed at the connection interface between the recovery device 400 and the model device 300, and is used for monitoring the outlet pressure of the system in real time. In an embodiment of the present invention, the metering unit 404 may be disposed at different locations within the recovery device 400 for measuring the recovered crude oil flow, water flow, gas flow, and the like. Recovery device 400 is used, among other things, to obtain in real time recovery data related to the recovery of the bottom water reservoir, including but not limited to: the total production amount, gas-liquid ratio, oil production, water production, gas production and the like of the recovered fluid.
Further, the bottom water simulation apparatus 200 is used to inject bottom water simulation fluid required for the experiment into the model apparatus 300 during the experiment (bottom water reservoir recovery), so that the model apparatus 300 can obtain sufficient and stable bottom water energy and maintain the energy in a continuous sufficient state. In the embodiment of the present invention, the edge bottom water simulation apparatus 200 needs to inject the edge bottom water simulation fluid meeting the experimental design requirement into the model apparatus 300 during the experiment implementation process, and the system starts to simulate the displacement or throughput or attenuation mining of the edge bottom water reservoir under the condition that the edge bottom water pressure (external pressure) and the edge bottom water injection amount meet the actual design requirement.
Thus, the present invention utilizes the bottom water simulator 200 to simulate the recovery of an oil reservoir in the presence of bottom water by providing stable bottom water energy to the model device.
Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a bottom water simulation device in a system for implementing a bottom water reservoir recovery simulation experiment according to an embodiment of the present application. The structure of the bottom water simulator 200 will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1 and 4. As shown in fig. 1, the bottom water simulation apparatus 200 includes: a fluid simulation unit 210 and a pressure control unit 220. The fluid simulation unit 210 is configured to receive the edge-bottom water simulation fluid, and inject the edge-bottom water simulation fluid into the model apparatus 300 under the external pressure, so as to provide sufficient edge-bottom water energy for the simulation experiment. The edge bottom water simulation fluid is used to simulate the actual edge bottom water fluid within the edge bottom water reservoir. The pressure control unit 220 is used to provide a stable external pressure to the bottom water simulation fluid (i.e., to perform pressurization and adjustment operations on the bottom water simulation fluid in the fluid simulation unit 210 using the external pressure), and to perform monitoring and adjustment of the external pressure. Wherein, the external pressure is the pressure (the designed edge bottom water pressure required by the experiment) required by the current edge bottom water oil reservoir recovery simulation experiment and used for controlling the edge bottom water simulation fluid to keep a sufficient state. Thus, embodiments of the present invention utilize the edge-bottom water simulator 200 to provide stable edge-bottom water energy conditions for the model device 300. It should be noted that "stabilization" herein has two levels: one is persistence in the time dimension, so that the simulation device 300 can continuously obtain the edge bottom water energy from the edge bottom water simulation device 200 in the experiment implementation process; the second is the sufficiency in the energy amplitude dimension, so that in the experiment implementation process, the simulation device 300 can also obtain enough edge bottom water fluid from the edge bottom water simulation device 200 to accurately simulate the actual edge bottom water condition in the oil reservoir.
Further, as shown in fig. 4, the fluid simulation unit 210 includes at least: a first container 211. The first container 211 is a high-pressure container. The pressure resistance of the first vessel 211 is determined according to the actual reservoir pressure, and is preferably 35 to 100 MPa. Under the normal condition, the pressure is only 35MPa, but when a special oil reservoir is met, a container with the pressure of 70MPa needs to be selected, and even the pressure can reach 100MPa at most. Wherein the first container 211 includes: a first piston 2111, a first chamber 2112, and a second chamber 2113. The first piston 2111 is disposed in the cavity of the first container 211, dividing the entire cavity inside the first container 211 into two cavity spaces. In the embodiment of the present invention, the position of the first container 211 where the first piston 2111 is located is determined according to the size of the experimental core in the model device 300. That is, the cavity space ratio between the first cavity 2112 and the second cavity 2113 formed by the first piston 2111 is determined according to the size of the experimental core in the model apparatus 300.
A first cavity 2112 is configured at a first side of the first container interior cavity. The first chamber 2112 is provided with a bottom water outlet. The bottom water outlet port serves as an outlet port of the first container 211 for connecting the bottom water simulation apparatus 200 and the model apparatus 300. The first cavity 2112 is used to contain the bottomside water-simulating fluid. Additionally, a second cavity 2113 is configured on a second side of the first container interior cavity. The second chamber 2113 is provided with a flow-through gas input port. The ventilation gas inlet port serves as an inlet port of the first container 211 for connecting the fluid simulating unit 210 and the pressure control unit 220 in the bottom water simulating assembly 200. The second chamber 2113 is used to contain the ventilation gas and to create a preliminary external pressure using the ventilation gas contained therein. It should be noted that the preliminary external pressure here is a certain amount of pressure provided to the first cavity 2112, and the cooperation of the pressure control unit 220 is required to form a more stable external pressure.
Further, the fluid simulation unit 210 further includes: a valve 212 provided at an inlet end of the first container 211 (provided between the ventilation gas input port and the pressure control unit 220), and a valve 213 provided at an outlet end of the first container 211 (provided between the bottom water output port and the mold apparatus 300) are used to open and/or close the fluid communication at the corresponding positions, respectively. In addition, the fluid simulation unit 210 further includes: a bottom water pressure monitoring unit 214 (not shown) is disposed at the bottom water outlet of the first container 211, and is used for monitoring the bottom water pressure (i.e., the external pressure) in real time.
Further, with continued reference to fig. 4, the pressure control unit 220 is provided with at least: a second container 221. The second vessel 221 is a high-pressure vessel. The pressure resistance of the second vessel 221 is determined according to the actual reservoir pressure, and is preferably 35 to 100 MPa. Under the normal condition, the pressure is only 35MPa, but when a special oil reservoir is met, a container with the pressure of 70MPa needs to be selected, and even the pressure can reach 100MPa at most. Wherein the second container 221 includes: a second piston 2211, a third cavity 2212, and a fourth cavity 2213. The second piston 2211 is disposed in the cavity of the second container 221, and divides the entire cavity inside the second container 221 into two cavity spaces. A third cavity 2212 is configured at a first side of the interior cavity of the second container 221. Third cavity 2212 is provided with a pressurized inlet. The pressurized inlet is used as an inlet end of the second container 221, and is used for forming a loading pressure with a certain intensity in the third cavity 2212 after the pressurized fluid is introduced into the third cavity 2212 by using a below-mentioned pressurization pump, so as to balance the external pressure formed by the second cavity 2113 and the third cavity 2212 together. In order to better form the external pressure with sufficient strength, the second piston 2211 needs to be disposed at the top position of the second container 221 at the time of the initial configuration of the experiment (before the pressurized fluid is introduced). The third cavity 2212 is used for containing a pressurized fluid, and external pressure is balanced by injecting the pressurized fluid into the cavity, so that the adjustment and control of the external pressure are realized.
In addition, a fourth cavity 2213 is configured at a second side of the inner cavity of the second container 221. The fourth cavity 2213 is provided with a ventilation gas outlet. The ventilation gas outlet is used as an outlet of the second container 221, and is connected to the ventilation gas inlet through a U-shaped pipe, so that the fluid simulation unit 210 (the first container 211) and the pressure control unit 220 (the second container 221) in the bottom water simulation apparatus 200 are in a state of being communicated with each other. The fourth cavity 2213 is used for containing the ventilation gas, and under the coordination of the ventilation gas contained in the third cavity 2212 and the ventilation gas in the second cavity 2113, an external pressure is formed, so that the bottom water energy obtained by the model device 300 is kept in a stable state.
Further, the pressure control unit 220 further includes: a valve 222 provided at the inlet end of the second container 221 (provided between the flow-through gas output port and the flow-through gas input port), and a valve 223 provided at the outlet end of the second container 221 (provided between the pressurized inlet and a pressurizing pump described below) for opening and/or closing and/or opening control of the fluid communication at the respective positions. In addition, a valve 224 is provided in the middle of the U-shaped tube to control the opening or release of the fluid. Further, the pressure control unit 220 further includes: a booster pump 225 and a reservoir 226 (not shown). Reservoir 226 is used to store pressurized fluid. The pressurizing pump 225 is used to pump the pressurizing fluid required for the experiment into the third cavity 2212, and the magnitude of the external pressure is regulated and controlled.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the bottom water simulator 200 mainly comprises: A. b, two high-pressure containers with pistons and a pressurizing pump. The high-pressure container A sequentially comprises a space a for containing the edge bottom water simulation fluid, a piston b and a space c for containing circulating gas from top to bottom. The bottom water simulating fluid contained in the space a is selected from: the stratum produces one of water, simulated salt water and the like and is used for simulating fluid of side water and bottom water in the side-bottom water reservoir. The gas to be circulated in the space c is a hardly liquefied gas, preferably one or more of nitrogen, air, and the like (although carbon dioxide is not recommended). The circulating gas is used for continuously and stably keeping the sufficient energy of the bottom water, and can provide the bottom water energy of 70MPa and 150 ℃.
The high-pressure container B is similar to the high-pressure container A in composition, and the high-pressure container B is provided with a space d for containing pressurized fluid, a piston e and a space f for containing circulating gas from top to bottom in sequence. The space f for containing gas is communicated with the space c of the high-pressure container A through a pipeline, and the circulating gas contained in the space f is consistent with the space c and is used for keeping the balance of the bottom water energy. The pressurized fluid contained in the space d is preferably one or more of distilled water, deionized water and the like, and the space d is connected with a pressurizing pump and used for controlling the stability of the simulated edge bottom water pressure in real time.
In the using process of the system, the position of the piston b in the high-pressure container A is controlled according to the size of the experimental core in the model device 300, so that the energy of edge water and bottom water meeting the experimental requirements can be provided for the model in the experimental process. The piston e in the high-pressure container B is placed at the top of the high-pressure container B, and the circulating gas is pumped into the corresponding spaces of the two high-pressure containers through the valves 212, 224 and 223 in the open state by a booster pump (not shown) until the real-time monitored bottom water (dynamic) pressure reaches the bottom water pressure (external pressure) required by the experimental design, and the valve 224 is closed. In the experimental process, if the pressure of the bottom water (dynamic) is reduced too fast, the stability of the pressure of the bottom water is kept in real time by injecting a pressurized fluid. When the process of huff and puff mining or exhaustion energy mining is simulated, according to the speed required by pressure attenuation, the process is realized by discharging partial gas in the space c and the space f; if the pressure needs to be increased, pressurization is carried out by injecting a pressurized fluid.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the capacities of the high pressure vessel a (the first vessel 211) and the high pressure vessel B (the second vessel 221) are set according to the size of the assay core in the model device 300, and are selected from one of 250mL, 500mL, 1000mL, 2000mL, 5000mL, and 10000 mL.
In order to enable the experimental system provided by the invention to simulate the production condition of the bottom water reservoir under the condition of high temperature, in the embodiment of the invention, the experimental system further comprises: and (5) a constant temperature oven 500. The constant temperature oven 500 is used to place the model device 300 during the experiment implementation process, so as to simulate the actual temperature environment of the bottom water reservoir by using the stable temperature condition provided by the constant temperature oven 500.
In order to enable the experimental system of the present invention to be applicable to various occasions such as different well types, and/or different reservoir location conditions, and/or different mining stages, different types of experimental core samples and installation manners need to be configured for the model device 300, and/or different combination connection manners between the model device 300 and other devices in the system need to be configured.
Further, the model arrangement 300 is configured as a first type model. The first model is a holder model with an annular pressure applying device, and an experimental core (containing lithology characteristic information of rocks at corresponding positions of the bottom-water reservoir) is arranged in the holder; or the first type of model is a core model made of a sand-packed material. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a model in which a model device is a gripper type or a sand pack type in a system for implementing an edge-bottom water reservoir recovery simulation experiment according to an embodiment of the present application. The first type of model is a holder type model (shown in figure 2) which is applied to natural cores, artificial cores and the like and needs to apply ring pressure. The model utilizes a rock core holder to fix an experimental rock core. Wherein the length range of the experimental rock core is 5-100 cm. Further, the length of the experimental core is selected from one of 10cm, 30cm, 70cm and 100 cm. Further, core holders having a length of 10cm and 30cm are most commonly used.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the cross section (end face) of the experimental core held by the core holder is not specifically limited, and may be any one of a square, a rectangle, a circle, a triangle, and the like. In addition, the experimental core can be homogeneous or heterogeneous, and the length and the size can be adjusted.
Further, the first type of model may also be configured as an experimental core model made with a sand-packed material. Wherein the sand filling material is selected from one of quartz sand, river sand, oil sand and the like. The length range of the experimental rock core of the model is 5-100 cm. The length of the experimental core is selected from one of 10cm, 30cm, 70cm and 100 cm. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the cross section (end face) of the core model is not particularly limited, and may be any one of a square, a rectangle, a circle, a triangle, and the like, and the size of the cross sectional area is adjustable. The cross-sectional shape of the core model is preferably circular. More specifically, when the shape of the interface is circular, the cross-sectional diameter is selected from one of 1 inch (or 2.5cm) and 1.5 inches (or 3.75 cm). In addition, the second type of model has a pressure bearing capacity of 70MPa and a temperature resistance of 150 ℃.
Further, no matter the first type of model is a holder type or a sand-packed type model, a plurality of edge-bottom water connection interfaces are provided in any axial direction (third axial direction) of the outer surface of the experimental core, and are used for being connected with the edge-bottom water simulation device 200. Meanwhile, a ring pressure access point is also arranged on the experimental core. The number of the edge bottom water connecting interfaces is set according to the length of the experimental rock core. In a specific example, the edge bottom water connecting interface has 1 ~ 3 to be equipped with 1 ring pressure access point, if: setting 1-2 edge-bottom water connecting interfaces if the length of the experimental core is 30 cm; and 3 edge bottom water connecting interfaces are arranged when the length of the experimental core is 100 cm.
It should be noted that, in the actual application process, after the configuration of the edge-bottom water connection interface is completed, according to the position of the target layer to be simulated in the current simulation experiment, one or a part or all of the edge-bottom water connection interfaces meeting the position condition of the current target layer are selected from all configured edge-bottom water connection interfaces as the actual edge-bottom water device connection interfaces matched with the position condition of the target layer in the current simulation experiment, so that the selected actual edge-bottom water device connection interfaces are used to connect the edge-bottom water simulation device 200 with the model device 300, and other unselected interfaces are plugged. For example: referring to fig. 2, the interface at the middle position is selected to be connected with the bottom water simulating device 200, and the leftmost and rightmost interfaces are plugged so as to simulate the production condition at the middle position of the shaft; the rightmost interface is selected to connect with the bottom water simulator 200 and the interfaces at the leftmost and intermediate locations are plugged to simulate production at the bottom of the wellbore, and so on. Thus, the invention can simulate the production conditions under the conditions of edge water and bottom water at different positions.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, whether the first type of model is a holder type or a sand-packed type model, a plurality of pressure measurement points are provided in any axial direction (a fourth axial direction, preferably, the third axial direction is opposite to the fourth axial direction) in the outer surface of the experimental core, so as to monitor the pressure state of the core. The number of the pressure measuring points is the same as that of the edge bottom water connecting interfaces, and the pressure measuring points are set according to the length of the experimental rock core. In one specific example, the number of pressure measurement points is 1-3, such as: setting 1-2 pressure measuring points when the length of the experimental rock core is 30 cm; and 3 pressure measuring points are set when the length of the experimental core is 100 cm.
It should be noted that, if the model device 300 is a first type model and the first type model is placed horizontally, vertically or obliquely, in the experiment implementation process, the production conditions of different well types such as a horizontal well, a vertical well or a slant well and/or bottom water reservoirs at different wellbore positions can be simulated, so that different scenes can be simulated by using the combined configuration configured with the first type model and the model placement manner thereof.
Further, the model arrangement 300 may also be configured as a second type of model. Fig. 3 is a schematic model diagram of a full-diameter core model as a model device in a system for realizing a bottom-edge water reservoir recovery simulation experiment according to an embodiment of the present application. The second type of model includes: full-diameter radial flow core models (as shown in fig. 3), and flat plate models of various sizes and shapes.
It should be noted that, for the experimental system using the first type of model, the simulation is mainly performed on the bottom water reservoir recovery condition under the horizontal well condition, and the process of horizontal displacement of the vertical well can also be simulated; for experimental systems using the second type of model described above, the vertical well radial flow displacement process is mainly simulated.
In order to make the experimental system of the present invention suitable for different mining stages, it is necessary to configure the model device 300 and other devices in the system in different connection modes.
First, when the model device 300 is configured as the first type model, the different model interface arrangements and the connections with other devices in the system will be described. When the mold apparatus 300 is configured as a first type of mold, the mold apparatus 300 has three interface ends, including: a first interface end, a second interface end, and a third interface end.
First example
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a system for implementing a bottom-edge water reservoir recovery simulation experiment according to an embodiment of the present application, in which a first-type model is applied to perform reservoir displacement simulation. The following describes the configuration of the interfaces of the model device used in the displacement phase and the connection between the model device and other devices in the system, with reference to fig. 5.
As shown in fig. 5, a first interface end is disposed at a first end face of the experimental core (in a preferred embodiment, the first interface end is disposed at a center of the first end face of the experimental core), and the first interface end is configured to connect the model apparatus 300 and the injection apparatus 100 to serve as an interface for connecting with the injection apparatus 100 when the system simulates a flooding phase. The second interface end is disposed at the second end face of the experimental core (in a preferred embodiment, the second interface end is disposed at a central position of the second end face of the experimental core), and the second interface end is configured to connect the model device 300 and the production device 400 as an interface for connecting the production device 400 when the system simulates the oil flooding stage. The third interface end (formed by the plurality of edge bottom water connecting interfaces) is arranged along the axial direction (the third axial direction) of the outer surface of the experimental core, and the third interface end is connected with the edge bottom water output port of the edge bottom water simulation device 200. The third interface is used to connect the model device 300 with the edge-bottom water simulation device 200 when the system simulates the flooding phase, so as to serve as an interface for connecting with the edge-bottom water simulation device 200.
In this way, in the present first example, in the model device 300, the simulation of the bottom water reservoir recovery situation in the displacement scene by using the gripper-type model or the sand-pack-type core model is realized by using the connection manner in which the injection device 100, the extraction device 400 and the bottom water simulation device 200 are respectively provided with the independent interface ends.
Second example
Fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a system for implementing a bottom-edge water reservoir recovery simulation experiment according to an embodiment of the present application, in which a first-type model is applied to simulation of stimulation or depletion of production. The following description will be made with reference to fig. 7, with respect to the configuration of the interface of the model device applied to the stage of throughput or exhaustion of mining, and the connection between the model device and other devices in the system. In the practical application process, when the edge-bottom water reservoir is in the handling or exhaustion stage, the reservoir is intersected with the displacement stage and has higher edge-bottom water energy, and at this time, a specified connection mode needs to be configured for the edge-bottom water simulation apparatus 200 and the model apparatus 300 to adapt to different recovery stage scenes.
As shown in fig. 7, a first interface end is disposed at a first end face of the experimental core (in a preferred embodiment, the first interface end is disposed at a center position of the first end face of the experimental core), and the first interface end is used for connecting the model device 300 with the injection device 100 and the production device 400 simultaneously when the system simulates a throughput phase or a failure production phase, so that the injection device 100 and the production device 400 share the same interface end, and the first interface end is used as a common connection interface of the injection device 100 and the production device 400. The second interface end is disposed at the second end face of the experimental core (in a preferred embodiment, the second interface end is disposed at a central position of the second end face of the experimental core), and the second interface end is connected to the edge-bottom water output port of the edge-bottom water simulation apparatus 200. The second interface port is used to connect the model apparatus 300 to the bottom water simulation apparatus 200 as one of the connection interfaces to the bottom water simulation apparatus 200 when the system is simulating a stimulation period of either a stimulation period or a depletion period. And a third interface end (formed by the plurality of edge bottom water connecting interfaces) is arranged along the axial direction (the third axial direction) of the outer surface of the current experimental core, and is also connected with the edge bottom water output port. The third interface port is used to connect the model apparatus 300 with the bottom water simulation apparatus 200 as another connection interface with the bottom water simulation apparatus 200 when the system is simulating a huff and puff phase or a starved production phase.
Thus, in the second example, the connection mode of configuring the injection device 100 and the extraction device 400 with a common interface end and configuring the edge-bottom water simulation device 200 with at least two interface ends is used to simulate the edge-bottom water reservoir recovery situation in the huff-and-puff or failure mining scene by using the gripper-type model or the sand-packed type core model.

Next, the configuration of the model device interface applied to the throughput or exhaustion stage and the connection between the model device and other devices in the system will be described with reference to fig. 8. In the practical application process, when the edge-bottom water reservoir is in the handling or exhaustion stage, the reservoir is intersected with the displacement stage and has higher edge-bottom water energy, and at this time, a specified connection mode needs to be configured for the edge-bottom water simulation apparatus 200 and the model apparatus 300 to adapt to different recovery stage scenes.

The sixth interface end is arranged along the axial direction (the first axial direction) of the outer surface of the current core model, and is also connected with the edge bottom water output port. The sixth interface is used to connect the model apparatus 300 with the bottom water simulation apparatus 200 as a second connection interface to the bottom water simulation apparatus 200 when the system is simulating a stimulation period of either a stimulation period or a depletion period.

In step S930, firstly, performing a gas permeability test on the model device 300, performing vacuum saturation and saturated oil treatment, and then placing the model device 300 in the constant temperature oven 500; then, the first piston 2111 needs to be adjusted to a corresponding position in the first container 211 according to the volume of the experimental core in the model device 300; then, the second piston 2211 is placed at the top position of the second container 221; pumping corresponding fluid or gas into the first cavity, the second cavity and the fourth cavity until the external pressure reaches the edge bottom water pressure in the experimental parameters; finally, the back pressure of the extraction device 400 is adjusted, and the real-time edge bottom water pressure is further adjusted by means of introducing pressurized fluid, so that various data in the experimental parameters are controlled to reach corresponding numerical values. In this way, the initialization configuration process for the current simulation experiment is completed, and the process proceeds to step S940. It should be noted that, the present invention does not specifically limit the sequence of each step in step S930, and those skilled in the art can perform an initialization configuration of an experiment according to actual requirements.
In step S940, the injection device 100 injects an injection medium into the model device 300, a displacement or huff and puff or exhaustion stage mining condition simulation experiment is started, and in step S950, the recovery device 400 is used to collect the recovery fluid, and the recovery data at the corresponding time is measured and recorded in real time. In the experiment implementation process, the pressure, temperature, flow and other data of different positions of the system are monitored in real time, and the edge bottom water pressure, core pressure and other data are adjusted in time.
