Due to the particularity of the fracture-cavity reservoir space, the seepage theory developed from homogeneous reservoir cant be applied to predict the productivity of fracture-cavity reservoir. This paper simplified the fracture-cavity system to an oil storage vessel, and based on the basic principles of material balance, established the productivity-prediction model which was suitable for the acid fracturing horizontal well in fracture-cavity reservoir. The results showed that the productivity of fracture-cavity system was high and steady. Meanwhile, the connected fracture-cavity system had a greater contribution to increasing production capacity than other factors.

In this paper, from the heat transfer mechanisms between perforated horizontal well and formation, the mathematical models for the heat transfer and pressure drops of the horizontal well with different steam injection pipe configurations are developed. All the conventional single-pipe, concentric dual-pipe, and parallel dual-pipe configurations are considered. A correlation is proposed to represent a relationship between the thermophysical properties of the formation and the formation pressure and temperature. Then, using the method of wellbore microcontrol elements and node analysis, the steam injection process in the three different well configurations is numerically investigated. Based on the test data of a parallel dual-pipe horizontal well from an actual oilfield, a steam backflow procedure for the parallel dual-pipe configuration is proposed to confirm the sealed status of a thermal packer. The theoretical investigation plays an important role in the performance evaluation and productivity prediction of horizontal well-based thermal recovery projects. Furthermore, it also sheds some important insights on a steam injection project design with dual-pipe horizontal wells.

AbstractHorizontal well is an important way to develop thin reservoir with edge-bottom water aquifer. For the horizontal well near oil–water contact, the reservoir have the features of edge water and bottom water at the same time. The productivity formula of horizontal well in pure edge water or pure bottom water reservoir is not fully applicable to this type of reservoir. For the heterogeneous reservoir with composite water aquifer, the horizontal well is divided into multiple well sections by using the concept of multi-segment well. Based on the seepage mechanics theory and potential superposition principle, considering the mutual interference between multi well sections, the productivity formula of horizontal well in heterogeneous reservoir with composite water aquifer is established. The new productivity formula considers the effect of reservoir heterogeneity, the quasi-linear flow of lateral edge water and the ellipsoidal flow of vertical bottom water. It can effectively determine the influence range and drainage distance of edge water in a heterogeneous reservoir with composite water aquifer. According to the test data of horizontal wells in Weizhou 11-1 oilfield, the drainage distance b of edge water is fitted and used to predict the productivity of new wells, and the result is very good. The research result lays a foundation for productivity prediction of horizontal well in heterogeneous reservoir with composite water aquifer.

Multicomponent thermal fluid huff and puff is an innovative heavy oil development technology for heavy oil reservoirs, which has been widely used in offshore oilfields in China and has proved to be a promising method for enhancing oil recovery. Components of multicomponent thermal fluids contain many components, including carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and steam. Under high temperature and high pressure conditions, the complex physical and chemical reactions between multicomponent thermal fluids and reservoir rocks occur, which damage the pore structure and permeability of core. In this paper, the authors set up a reservoir damage experimental device, tested the formation permeability before and after the injection of multiple-component thermal fluids, and obtained the formation damage model. The multicomponent thermal fluid formation damage model is embedded in the component control equation, the finite difference method is used to discretize the control equation, and a new multielement thermal fluid numerical simulator is established. The physical simulation experiment of multicomponent thermal fluid huff and puff is carried out by using the actual sand-packed model. By comparing the experimental results with the numerical simulation results, it is proved that the new numerical simulation model considering formation damage proposed in this paper is accurate and reliable.
