摘要
The preheating effect is an important factor to affect the development of SAGD. The study on circulating preheating technology is carried out on H71 block of Guantao. The target working condition is that the steam dryness is bigger or equal to 0 and the steam returns to the vicinity of the production wellhead (point A). In this study we established the reservoir geological model combined with reservoir fluid model and physical parameters, and then we used CMG to compare the schemes of circulating preheating between the same gas injection rate and the same enthalpy on the basis of history matching. The results show that, the historical fitting rate in block H71 of Guantao formation was 97.8%, which sets the same steam injection volume in the injection well and liquid production rate in the production well. After 9 months of cyclic preheating, the effective thermal connection had been basically formed between two horizontal wells of Guan H71-1 and H71-2 in block Du 84, where the temperature had been between 80 ℃ to 100 ℃ and the formation pressure had dropped to 3 MPa around, it reached the good chance for SAGD. Comparing the two schemes, it was more economic that the steam injection rate was 80 m3/d and degree of superheat was 61 ℃ (pressure 6.7 MPa), where the average temperature reaching 90 ℃ was quicker between superheated steam wells. In the SAGD production stage, compared with the injection of wet steam, the daily oil production and cumulative oil production are significantly increased by injecting the superheated steam, and the water content is reduced, which has a more significant effect in the early stage of SAGD production. © 2021, Editorial Office of Journal of China University of Petroleum(Edition of Natural Science).
