Abstract:

In the middle to late stage of low-permeability condensate gas reservoirs development, rapid deliverability decline and reduced recovery due to condensate oil blockage often occur. Taking No. 1 sandbody in the second member of Jurassic Sangonghe Formation in Qianshao 4 well block in Mobei uplift of Junggar Basin as an example, a high-precision numerical simulation model was established by combining multi-scale parameters integration with wellstream phase-behavior correction, and remaining gas distribution prediction and potential-tapping schemes evaluation were conducted. The results show that:(1) The thickness of No. 1 sandbody in the second member of Jurassic Sangonghe Formation in Qianshao 4 well block in Mobei uplift of Junggar Basin is about 20 m,the average porosity is about 12%, the average permeability is about 1.5 mD, with strong heterogeneity and poor local connectivity. (2) Using data collaboration to constrain sandbodies distribution and porosity/permeability parameters, combining fluid composition inversion in condensate gas wells and bottomhole pressure coupling, an integrated model of “geology-phase behavior-wellbore” was established,significantly improving the characterization accuracy of sandbody architecture and porosity/permeability parameters. The correlation coefficients between the modeling porosity/permeability and measured values were greater than 0.99. The fitting accuracy between the calculation results of the model and historical condensate gas production is greater than 96%, revealing that the high part of well Qianshao 401 in the study area represents a typical remaining gas enrichment zone of “high gas saturation but poor connectivity”. (3) Based on remaining gas distribution, the proposed lateral drilling potential-tapping scheme for well Qianshao 401,can provide an additional recoverable reserve of 0.37×108 m3 and increase daily gas production by 4×104 m3. The prediction results suggest that the well can achieve stable production until 2030 if the constant gas recovery rate of 5.1% is maintained.
