[0029] FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for calculating a recovery ratio according to the present disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0030] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be further illustrated in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings hereinafter. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein merely illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and does not limit the present disclosure.

[0031] The method of applying the secondary-tertiary combination development mode into the high water-cut oilfield comprises: firstly arranging a dense well network to second and third oil layers when the oil production of the second and third oil layers as obtained by the primary oil recovery reaches an economic efficiency limit; performing water flooding for potential seeking with selective perforations on structural units and single sand layers that are incompletely produced in the thick oil layer, establishing a new flooding system, and improving the injection-production correspondence relationship to reduce the impact of heterogeneity; and then, transferring to the tertiary oil recovery of chemical flooding in due course, and increasing the viscosity of the formation water by injecting chemicals to thereby improve the viscosity ratio of the crude oil to the formation water and meanwhile reduce the adsorption of the crude oil on rocks. In this way, the sweep efficiency and oil displacement efficiency of the displacement medium can be improved effectively, thereby achieving the object of improving the development water-flooding effect and enhancing the crude oil recovery ratio.

[0032] The secondary-tertiary combination development mode is committed to optimize the link between the tertiary oil recovery and the secondary water flooding for potential seeking, and has an ultimate goal of maximizing the total recovery ratio and optimizing the economic efficiency. In this specific embodiment, a secondary development of water flooding is firstly performed until a water content reaches at 98%, and then 0.25 PV polymer flooding is performed.

[0033] The present disclosure provides a method for calculating a recovery ratio under a secondary-tertiary combination development mode, and the method comprises steps as follows.

[0034] step 100, a water-flooding sweep coefficient E.sub.V1 and an oil displacement efficiency E.sub.D1 of the primary oil recovery are obtained.

[0035] step 200, a secondary development of water flooding is performed under injection-production conditions of the primary oil recovery, and a percentage of a water-flooding sweep coefficient increased by the secondary development of water flooding is obtained.

[0036] step 300, a tertiary oil recovery is directly performed under injection-production conditions of the primary oil recovery, and a percentage of a sweep coefficient increased by the tertiary oil recovery and an oil displacement efficiency E.sub.D2 of the tertiary oil recovery are obtained.

[0037] step 400, a sweep coefficient E.sub.V2+3 under the secondary-tertiary combination development mode is calculated based on the water-flooding sweep coefficient E.sub.V1 of the primary oil recovery, the percentage of the water-flooding sweep coefficient increased by the secondary development of water flooding, and the percentage of the sweep coefficient increased by the tertiary oil recovery.

[0038] In step 400, the sweep coefficient E.sub.V2+3 under the secondary-tertiary combination development mode is calculated in accordance with a formula (1).

E.sub.V2+3=E.sub.V1(1+)(1+)Formula (1)

[0039] step 500, a recovery ratio under the secondary-tertiary combination development mode is predicted in accordance with the calculated sweep coefficient E.sub.V2+3 under the secondary-tertiary combination development mode and the oil displacement efficiency E.sub.D2 of the tertiary oil recovery; and a recovery ratio increment E.sub.R2+3 under the secondary-tertiary combination development mode relative to the recovery ratio of the primary oil recovery is calculated.

[0040] In step 500, the recovery ratio increment E.sub.R2+3 under the secondary-tertiary combination development mode relative to the recovery ratio of the primary oil recovery is calculated in accordance with a formula (2).

E.sub.R2+3=E.sub.V2+3E.sub.D2E.sub.V1E.sub.D1Formula (2)

[0041] The sweep coefficient refers to the extent to which the displacement medium is swept in the oil layer. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the sweep coefficient is defined as the ratio of the volume of the oil layer displaced by the displacement medium to the total volume of the reservoir. The sweep coefficient increases with the development time until the pressure wave is transmitted to a control boundary of the well network.

[0042] The primary oil recovery is to produce oil with development of water flooding. According to the step 200, under injection-production conditions of the primary oil recovery, the development of the hierarchical well network is reorganized to construct a secondary development water-flooding well network structure, so that the water-flooding sweep coefficient E.sub.V1 of the primary oil recovery in the oil reservoir can be improved, and the increased value of the water-flooding sweep coefficient is marked as a percentage of the water-flooding sweep coefficient increased by the secondary development well network.

[0043] The percentage of the water-flooding sweep coefficient increased by the secondary development water-flooding well network is namely the difference value between the water-flooding sweep coefficient after the secondary development improves the injection well network and the water-flooding sweep coefficient E.sub.V1 of the primary oil recovery. The calculation formula is as follows:

[00001] $= \frac{A_{2} .Math. h_{2} - A_{1} .Math. h_{1}}{A .Math. h}$

[0044] In the above formula, A, A.sub.1, and A.sub.2 respectively denote the reservoir area, the primary development water-flooding sweep area and the secondary development water-flooding sweep area; and h, h.sub.1, and h.sub.2 respectively denote the oil reservoir thickness, the primary water-flooding sweep thickness and the secondary water-flooding sweep thickness.

[0045] Furthermore, can be determined according to the plane sweep area under different well network manners and the extent to which the oil layers are utilized by a combination of different hierarchical developments in a longitudinal direction. As found through experiments, the sweep area is related to the fluidity ratio, which can be determined by drawing a relationship diagram between the area sweep coefficient and the fluidity ratio under the condition of five-point well networks. The sweep volume is equal to the product of the sweep area and the sweep thickness, based on which the relationship between the volume sweep coefficient and the fluidity ratio can be derived. With the development of water flooding, the extent to which the oil layers are utilized will decrease, so that may change with the time of the development water flooding. Thus, is a function that changes with time, and its trend may be fitted through a plurality of experiments, so that the relationship between and the time of the water flooding can be obtained.

[0046] According to a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, a secondary development of water flooding is performed under injection-production conditions of the primary oil recovery, and the water-flooding sweep coefficient E.sub.V2 of the secondary development of water flooding is calculated in accordance with a formula (3).

E.sub.V2=E.sub.V1(1+)Formula (3)

[0047] For the step 300, the tertiary oil recovery is directly implemented on the basis of the same hierarchical well network of the primary oil recovery. The tertiary oil recovery is generally chemical flooding, which includes polymer flooding and ternary composite flooding, and further includes foam flooding, alkaline water flooding, active water flooding, micellar solution flooding, microemulsion low-tension flooding, and the like.

[0048] Taking the polymer flooding as an example, the polymer flooding is directed to displace the oil by injecting a polymer injected into the stratums. Macroscopically, the polymer increases the viscosity of the displacement medium and reduces the water-oil mobility ratio, thereby expanding the sweep volume of the displacement medium. Thus, on the basis of the water-flooding sweep coefficient E.sub.V1 of the primary oil recovery, the polymer flooding may increase the volume sweep coefficient of the displacement medium in the reservoir, which is marked as the percentage of the sweep coefficient increased by the oil displacement agent of the tertiary oil recovery. The changes with the time of the tertiary oil recovery, the formula of which is as follows:

[00002] $.Math. = \frac{A_{3} .Math. h_{3} - A_{1} .Math. h_{1}}{A .Math. h}$

[0049] In the above formula, A, A.sub.1, and A.sub.3 respectively denote the reservoir area, the primary development water-flooding sweep area and the tertiary oil recovery sweep area; and h, h.sub.1, and h.sub.3 respectively denote the oil reservoir thickness, the primary water-flooding sweep thickness and the tertiary oil recovery sweep thickness.

[0050] Among them, the tertiary oil recovery sweep area A.sub.3 can be obtained through physical simulation experiments, or can be calculated by the quasi-flow tube method.

[0051] According to a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, a tertiary oil recovery may be directly performed under injection-production conditions of the primary oil recovery, and the sweep coefficient E.sub.V3 of the tertiary oil recovery is calculated in accordance with a formula (4).

E.sub.V3=E.sub.V1(1+)Formula (4)

[0052] Microscopically, due to the inherent viscoelasticity of the polymer, the oil film or oil droplets are stretched during the flow procedure, which increases the carrying capacity and improves the micro oil-washing efficiency, so that the oil displacement efficiency E.sub.D2 of the tertiary oil recovery is also improved.

[0053] The oil displacement efficiency refers to the micro-displacement efficiency, which is the ratio of the oil production in the area swept by the displacement medium to the oil reserves. The oil displacement efficiency coefficient gradually increases with the time until the reservoir is washed to a residual oil state. In practical applications, the oil displacement efficiency

[00003] $E_{D} = \frac{S_{1} - S_{2}}{S_{1}} 100 .Math. %$

can be calculated according to the oil saturation or water saturation in the region swept by the displacement medium.

[0054] When the oil displacement efficiency is calculated based on the oil saturation, the S.sub.1 denotes the original oil saturation in the region swept by the displacement medium, and S.sub.2 denotes the residual oil saturation after the oil recovery.

[0055] When the oil displacement efficiency is calculated based on the water saturation, the S.sub.1 denotes the original water saturation in the region swept by the displacement medium, and S.sub.2 denotes the residual water saturation after the development.

[0056] According to a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the sweep coefficient E.sub.V2+3 under the secondary-tertiary combination development mode is calculated based on E.sub.V2 and E.sub.V3.

[0057] The secondary-tertiary combination development concept means to combine the secondary oil recovery with the tertiary oil recovery organically by comprehensively utilizing a set of oil recovery system and perform water flooding for potential seeking to the residual-oil-enriched second and third oil layers before the tertiary oil recovery. This method improves the effect of the development water flooding, extends the valid period of the development water flooding, and provides sufficient time for the later chemical flooding technology that aims to significantly improve the oil recovery ratio.

[0058] The above formula (1) combines advantages of the secondary oil recovery that has a delicate well network with the efficiency of the tertiary oil recovery that improves the recovery ratio, so that the sweep coefficient E.sub.V2+3 under the secondary-tertiary combination development mode may be significantly improved.

[0059] For the step 500, according to the formula for calculating recovery ratio, recovery rate=sweep coefficientoil displacement efficiency. Thus, a recovery ratio E.sub.R1 of the primary oil recovery can be calculated in accordance with a formula (6) based on the water-flooding sweep coefficient E.sub.V1 and the oil displacement efficiency E.sub.D1 of the primary oil recovery.

E.sub.R1=E.sub.V1E.sub.D1Formula (5)

[0060] Furthermore, the secondary development of water flooding is performed under injection-production conditions of the primary oil recovery. The calculation model of the sweep coefficient E.sub.V2 of the secondary development of water flooding is as shown in formula (3), and the water flooding efficiency is E.sub.D1, so that the recovery ratio of the secondary development of water flooding is E.sub.R2=E.sub.V2E.sub.D1.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, an increment E.sub.R2 in the recovery ratio of the secondary development of water flooding relative to the recovery ratio of the primary oil recovery is calculated according to a formula (6).

E.sub.R2=E.sub.V2E.sub.D1E.sub.R1Formula (6)

[0062] Furthermore, the tertiary oil recovery is directly performed under injection-production conditions of the primary oil recovery. The calculation model of the sweep coefficient E.sub.V3 of the tertiary oil recovery is as shown in formula (4), and the oil displacement efficiency of the oil displacement agent is E.sub.D2, so that the recovery ratio of the tertiary oil recovery is E.sub.R3=E.sub.V3E.sub.D2.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, an increment E.sub.R3 in the recovery ratio of the tertiary oil recovery relative to the recovery ratio of the primary oil recovery is calculated according to a formula (8).

E.sub.R3=E.sub.V3E.sub.D2E.sub.R1Formula (7)

[0064] Furthermore, the calculation model of the sweep coefficient E.sub.V2+3 of the secondary-tertiary combination development mode is as shown in formula (1), and the oil displacement efficiency is E.sub.D2, and the recovery ratio E.sub.R2+3 under the secondary-tertiary combination development mode is anticipated in accordance with a formula (8).

E.sub.R2+3=E.sub.V2+3E.sub.D2Formula(8)

[0065] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, an increment E.sub.R2+3 in the recovery ratio of the secondary-tertiary combination development mode relative to the recovery ratio of the primary oil recovery is calculated according to a formula (9).

E.sub.R2+3=E.sub.V1(1+)(1+)E.sub.D2E.sub.V1E.sub.D1Formula (9)

[0066] Table 1 shows a comparison of recover ratios in the above development methods.

[0067] Further, by combining the formula (7) with the formula (8), the formula (9) is transformed into:

E.sub.R2+3=E.sub.R2+E.sub.R3+Formula (10)

=E.sub.V1=[(1+)E.sub.D2E.sub.D1]Formula (11)

[0068] It can be seen from the formula (10) that the increment E.sub.R2+3 in the recovery ratio in the secondary-tertiary combination development project is much higher than a sum of the increment E.sub.R2 in the recovery ratio achieved by performing the secondary development of water flooding project alone and the increment E.sub.R3 in the recovery ratio achieved by performing the tertiary oil recovery project alone. Thus, the increment value is a value obtained by the secondary-tertiary combination development mode that exerts a cooperation effect by integrating the advantage of the secondary development that has an integrated well network and the advantage of the tertiary oil recovery that can improve the oil displacement efficiency, which is an amplifier to improve the recovery ratio relative to performing the secondary development of water flooding alone and performing the tertiary oil recovery alone. That is, is an amplification effect of a secondary development of water flooding effect and a tertiary oil recovery effect, and can be used to theoretically understand the increased value in the recovery ratio under the secondary-tertiary combination development mode. The formula (11) and formula (12) are the theory basis based on which the secondary-tertiary combination development mode improves the recovery ratio and realizes an effect of 1+1>2. The secondary-tertiary combination development mode improves the overall benefits of the oilfield development.

[0069] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail above, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present disclosure, various simple variations can be made to the technical solution of the present disclosure, including the combination of various technical features in any other suitable manner. These simple variations and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed by the present disclosure and also fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
