废弃油藏改建储油库机理及注采特征研究

Study on the mechanisms and injection-production characteristics of converting depleted reservoirs into oil storage facilities

  • 摘要: 油田开发后期产生的大量废弃油藏趋于枯竭,不仅占用地下空间,还存在安全与环境风险。借鉴储气库的模式,将其改造为储油库,是提高资源利用率、降低风险的有效途径。然而,废弃油藏改建储油库的注采机理与动态特征尚缺乏系统研究,且与储气库存在显著差异。针对注水砂岩油藏、裂缝潜山油藏及SAGD开发后的稠油油藏三类典型废弃油藏,通过油水互驱渗流模拟实验和三维物理模拟实验,系统研究了其改建储油库的可行性和关键注采特征。研究表明:对于注水砂岩油藏与裂缝潜山油藏,多轮次油水互驱导致油水相对渗透率曲线规律性下移,端点有效渗透率持续下降,注采能力逐渐降低,残余油、束缚水饱和度递增使共渗区间缩窄、有效孔隙动用空间减少;注油阶段因孔隙中残余油与束缚水滞留,注采量递减,但原油回采率仍高于90%,且渗透率越高回采率越优。对于厚层块状稠油油藏,通过SAGD后期储油库注采三维物模实验表明,两轮注采后油量保持稳定,回采率达84%以上,验证了高孔渗稠油油藏改建储油库技术可行。研究成果为废弃油藏改建储油库的选址与参数优化设计提供了理论支撑。

     

    Abstract: In the late stage of oil development, a significant number of depleted reservoirs approach to be exhausted. These reservoirs not only occupy subsurface space but also pose safety and environmental risks. Inspired by the model of gas storage facilities, converting such reservoirs into oil storage facilities offers dual benefits of enhancing resource utilization and mitigating environmental hazards. However, substantial differences exist in the injection-production mechanisms and dynamic features between oil and gas storage facilities, with limited systematic research conducted domestically or internationally. This study systematically investigates the feasibility and key injection-production characteristics of converting such three typical depleted reservoirs as water-flooded sandstone reservoirs, fractured buried-hill reservoirs, and heavy oil reservoirs (post-SAGD development) into oil storage facilities, through oil-water mutual displacement seepage simulation experiments and 3D physical simulation experiments. The findings demonstrate that multi-cycle oil-water mutual displacement lead to systematic downward shift in oil-water relative permeability curves of water-flooded sandstone and fractured buried-hill reservoirs, continuous declines in endpoint effective permeability, and gradual reduction in injection-production capacity, as well as progressive increases in residual oil and irreducible water saturation, which narrows the co-percolation range and reduces effective pore utilization. During oil injection, residual oil and irreducible water retention in pores causes declining injection-production volumes, yet the oil recovery efficiency remains above 90%, with higher permeability correlating to superior recovery efficiency. For thick massive heavy oil reservoirs, three-dimensional physical simulations experiments of post-SAGD injection-production confirmed stable oil production after two cycles, achieving a recovery efficiency exceeding 84%, thereby validating the technical feasibility of converting high-porosity, high-permeability heavy oil reservoirs into oil storage facilities. This research establishes a theoretical foundation for site selection and parameter design in converting depleted reservoirs into oil storage facilities.
