摘要: 为了研究气田存在的多层合采问题,更有效地分析各气层的产能特征和动态储量,通过将多个不同物性的岩心组"并联"组合,形成了多层合采模型,模拟分析了多层气藏合采时储层物性差异、压力差异、气井配产等现象对合采的影响,为研究多层合采的生产机理和动态提供了技术手段。实验研究表明层间物性差异越大,各小层在不同时期的产气贡献差异越大,并且这种差异随气井的配产增加而增大,其中相对高渗层早期产气贡献大,相对低渗层产气逐渐上升,其产气贡献主要体现在晚期;不同压力气层进行合采容易产生"高压层向低压层倒灌",对于因储层物性差异在生产中形成了层间压力差的多层合采气井,应避免关井而产生层间压力波动,从而造成储层破坏。Abstract: This study is focused on commingled production from multilayer gas reservoir for effective analyses of the production feature and dynamic reserves of each gas layers. A commingled production model of multilayer reservoir is constructed through a parallel connection of core sets with different physical properties. The established model, which provides a means for researching the production mechanism and dynamics of multilayer commingled reservoir, is then used for assessing the effects of reservoir physical properties, pressure difference, and production proration on commingled production of multilayer gas reservoir. Experimental results show that the variations in the contribution of each sub-layer to total gas production increase with the interlayer differences of physical core properties as well as the production proration. Among different sub-layers, high-permeability layer makes greater contribution to gas production in an early stage, whereas low-permeability layer makes an increasing contribution to gas production over time with the major contribution in a late stage. Backflow from high- to low-pressure layer easily occurs in commingled production of multilayers with different pressures. Therefore, when interlayer pressure difference is formed in commingled production of multilayer gas reservoir due to the difference of physical reservoir properties, well shut-in should be avoided for preventing interlayer pressure fluctuations and related reservoir damage.
