doi:10.7657/XJPG20200409

Abstract

Abstract:

Autonomous Inflow Control Device (AICD) well completion technology has been applied in water control of oil reservoirs. However, the research on the application of AICD well completion technology in gas reservoirs is still lacking. Therefore, the water control mechanism and the flow characteristic of a new channel-type AICD well completion technology suitable for gas reservoirs are analyzed, and a dynamic reservoir-wellbore coupling model for the new channel-type AICD well completion technology is established for the gas reservoirs with bottom water in Tahe oilfield. The structure parameters of the new channel-type AICD well completion technology are optimized by using orthogonal tests and the water control effect of the new technology is analyzed. The results show that compared with the perforation completion, the new channel-type AICD well completion technology causes little bottom hole pressure loss and has little impact on condensate oil production, and the application of the new channel-type AICD well completion technology can prolong the low watercut gas production period by about 365 days. It is predicted that the cumulative water production with the new channel-type AICD well completion technology will decrease by about 27% at the end of the 20th year and the water saturation in the near-wellbore area will decrease, too, indicating a good water control effect. The new channel-type AICD well completion technology can be used for the development of gas reservoirs with bottom water, and water control and steady gas production can be achieved in this kind of reservoirs.

Key words: gas reservoir with bottom water, horizontal well production, water control completion, AICD, numerical simulation, optimization
