[0083] Firstly, the weights of permeability, effective thickness, recovery degree and residual geological reserves can be calculated as 0.1858, 0.48, 0.1462 and 0.1879 respectively according to the entropy weight algorithm. Then, the comprehensive evaluation indexes of each layer can be calculated based on it, as shown in Table 1.
[0084] The cluster analysis method based on the center of gravity is used to merge the layers, and all the layers are combined into two layers. First, the Euclidean distance between the layers is calculated and the two layers with the shortest Euclidean distance are merged into a new layer. Then, the Euclidean distance between the new layer and other layers is calculate. repeat this process, and finally combine all layers into two layers. By repeating this process, all layers are finally combined into two layers. Dividing the reservoir into two layers can effectively reflect the rhythm and vertical heterogeneity, and the permeability gradient and thickness of each layer are in the range of multi-slug chemical flooding. Therefore, the reservoir is divided into two layers. The first layer includes 1-7 layers, and the second layer includes 8-13.
[0085] The determination of sectional slug volume ratio of chemical flooding in step (4) includes the following steps:
[0086] {circle around (1)} The reservoir model with a well group composed of the two layers was established to conduct numerical simulation of two-slug chemical flooding. And the recovery factors with different permeability ratio and thickness ratios of high and low permeability layers are calculated to determine the optimal sectional slug volume ratios of chemical flooding. The concrete implementation steps include:
[0087] Firstly, a single well group reservoir model is intercepted from the target reservoir model, and models composed of the two layers with different permeability ratio and different thickness ratios of high and low permeability layers are established.
[0088] Then, for a certain model of permeability ratio and thickness ratio of high and low permeability layers, under the condition of the same total volume of chemical agents, the chemical flooding numerical simulator is used to calculate the recovery factors of different sectional slug volume ratios; as shown in the
[0089] Finally, a scatter plot was drawn with the sectional slug volume ratio as the horizontal axis and the recovery factor as the vertical axis. The sectional slug volume ratios corresponding to the maximum recovery factor was obtained by fitting, that is, the optimal sectional slug volume ratio under the specified condition of the permeability ratio and the thickness ratio of the high and low permeability layers.
[0090] In the Embodiment, reservoir simulation models with a single well group composed of the two layers is established to carry out numerical simulation of chemical flooding. The permeability ratio of two layers is 3, 5 and 7 respectively, and the thickness ratio of the high and low permeability layers is 0.1, 0.4 and 0.6. Chemical flooding is divided into two stage according to the different chemical slug concentration. Under the condition of same injected chemical agents volume, changing the size of the two slug, numerical simulation models with sectional slug volume ratios of 0.17, 0.27, 0.4, 0.75, 1.33, 2.5 are established to calculate the recovery factor and determine the optimal sectional slug volume ratio.
[0091] {circle around (2)} The horizontal axis was taken as the product of the thickness ratio of the high and low permeability layers and the permeability ratio of step {circle around (1)}, and the vertical axis was taken as the optimal sectional slug volume ratios of chemical flooding. A scatter plot was drawn, and the standard plate of the sectional slug volume ratios of chemical flooding was obtained through nonlinear regression; as shown in the
[0092] The product of the thickness ratio of the high and low permeability layers and the permeability ratio was found to have a quadratic polynomial relationship with the optimal sectional slug volume ratio in chemical flooding. The least square method was used for regression, and the quadratic polynomial coefficient was calculated. The curve of the quadratic polynomial obtained was plotted in the coordinate axis, which is the standard plate of the sectional slug volume ratios of chemical flooding.
[0093] {circle around (3)} The product of thickness ratio of high and low permeability layers and permeability ratio of each well is determined, and the optimal sectional slug volume ratios of chemical flooding d.sub.1:d.sub.2 are determined with the standard plate of the sectional slug volume ratios. The sectional slug volume ratios of chemical flooding d.sub.1:d.sub.2 refers to the ratio of the volume of chemical flooding slug 1 to the volume of chemical flooding slug 2 which adjacent to the chemical flooding slug 1.
[0094] According to the calculated layer combination results, the effective thickness and permeability of each layer in each injector are counted, and the product of the thickness ratio of high and low permeability layers and the permeability ratio of each well is calculated. The designed chemical agent concentration is 4kg/m.sup.3. And the volume ratio of slug 1 to slug 2 obtained according to the diagram is shown in Table 2.

[0095] The optimization of well location, injection rate and production rate and chemical amount for single well in step (5) includes the following steps:
[0096] Considering remaining oil saturation variation coefficient which is the characterization of chemical flooding of equilibrium degree, the oil increase effect of the chemical flooding and chemical agents cost, the objective function of the injection-production optimization coordination chemical flooding achieve equilibrium displacement such as equation (IV) is determined as below:
[0097] In the equation (IV), Obj is the objective function of the injection-production optimization coordination chemical flooding achieve equilibrium displacement; L is the location coordinates of injectors and producers; q.sup.i is injection rate of each injector; q.sub.p is production rate of each producer; S.sub.or is remaining oil saturation, fraction;
[0098] With the maximum of Obj is the goal, the location coordinates of injectors and producers L, total chemical agents concentration injected into injector i C.sub.Tc,i, chemical agents total injection volume of injector i V.sub.T,i, liquid production rate of producers q.sub.i and liquid injection rate of injectors q.sub.p are adjustable variables. When the well location coordinates of injectors and producers, liquid production rate of producers and liquid injection rate of injectors change, the average variation coefficient of residual oil saturation and remaining oil saturation calculated by the chemical flooding numerical simulation are also change, which affects the value of the objective function. Chemical flooding numerical simulator is used to calculate Obj with combination of different value of adjustable variables, and the corresponding adjustable variable is the optimal value of each adjustable variable when Obj achieves the maximum.
[0099] In the Embodiment, remaining oil saturation, the average remaining oil saturation and the remaining oil saturation variation coefficient of the reservoir are 0.25, 0.32 and 0.34, respectively.
[0100] And the price of polymer, the price of surfactant and the price of viscoelastic particle are 12 yuan/kg, 10 yuan/m.sup.3 and 15 yuan/m.sup.3, respectively. And the value of optimal adjustable variables are shown in Table 3 and Table 4. Table 3 shows the production parameters optimization results of each producer.
