Description
本发明涉及油气田开发技术领域,尤其是涉及一种基于异步周期的采油装置、方法及系统。
页岩油、致密油等非常规油藏资源丰富,是未来石油战略接替新领域。由于页岩油、致密油等非常规油藏储层物性差,基质渗透率≤1mD(覆压渗透率≤0.1mD),目前主要采用水平井多级压裂后衰竭开发,但采收率低,递减大。大规模压裂后,存在多尺度裂缝,包括天然层理缝、人工压裂裂缝。注水开发时,有裂缝的区域水窜严重,注水难以进入致密基质、动用原油,亟需攻克高效开发技术和大幅度提高采收率技术。此外低渗透油藏、断块油藏、稠油油藏和碳酸盐岩油藏等复杂类型油藏,大幅度提高采收率也亟需关键技术。
注气开发是油田提高采收率的重要技术,主要是通过向地层注入气体驱油。气体种类主要包括烃类气体和非烃类气体。烃类气体主要包括液化石油气、富气、干气(甲烷)等,非烃类气体主要包括CO
2、N
2、空气、烟道气等。
从驱油机理来看,与注水相比,气体分子小,能够更加容易进入油藏岩石孔隙,更容易建立有效驱替系统驱动原油,同时注气后与原油混相或降低多相界面张力、膨胀原油、降低原油粘度等效果显著,具有与水完全不同的驱油机理。从注气方式来看,注气吞吐、气体连续驱替、水气交替等方式是目前主要的注气开发方式。
但是由于气体流动性强,容易在地层中发生气窜,且油藏中的裂缝和油藏的非均质性加剧了气窜,这些大大降低了开发效果,限制了注气技术在不同类型油藏中的应用与推广,尤其是针对页岩油、致密油等非常规油藏和低渗透油藏,大规模压裂形成的裂缝导致了非常严重的气窜,这些均使得注气方式的创新成为亟待解决的问题。

与现有技术相比,上述方案中的一个或多个实施例可以具有如下优点或有益效果:

由于在步骤1和步骤4的执行过程中,仅所述步骤1和步骤2注入气体至所述第一井,即,在其他相邻两步骤之间,例如,在步骤2至步骤3之间,不涉及向第一井注入气体的操作;由此,发挥了升压混相动用原油、驱替原油、焖井扩散、膨胀动用原油、降压溶解气驱动原油机理,突破了注CO

页岩油、致密油等非常规油藏资源丰富,是未来石油战略接替新领域。由于页岩油、致密油等非常规油藏储层物性差,基质渗透率≤1mD(覆压渗透率≤0.1mD),目前主要采用水平井多级压裂后衰竭开发,但采收率低,递减大。大规模压裂后,存在多尺度裂缝,包括天然层理缝、人工压裂裂缝。注水开发时,有裂缝的区域水窜严重,注水难以进入致密基质、动用原油,亟需攻克高效开发技术和大幅度提高采收率技术。此外低渗透油藏、断块油藏、稠油油藏和碳酸盐岩油藏等复杂类型油藏,大幅度提高采收率也亟需关键技术。
注气开发是油田提高采收率的重要技术,主要是通过向地层注入气体驱油。气体种类主要包括烃类气体和非烃类气体。烃类气体主要包括液化石油气、富气、干气(甲烷)等,非烃类气体主要包括CO2、N2、空气、烟道气等。
从驱油机理来看,与注水相比,气体分子小,能够更加容易进入油藏岩石孔隙,更容易建立有效驱替系统驱动原油,同时注气后与原油混相或降低多相界面张力、膨胀原油、降低原油粘度等效果显著,具有与水完全不同的驱油机理。从注气方式来看,注气吞吐、气体连续驱替、水气交替等方式是目前主要的注气开发方式。
但是由于气体流动性强,容易在地层中发生气窜,且油藏中的裂缝和油藏的非均质性加剧了气窜,这些大大降低了开发效果,限制了注气技术在不同类型油藏中的应用与推广,尤其是针对页岩油、致密油等非常规油藏和低渗透油藏,大 规模压裂形成的裂缝导致了非常严重的气窜,这些均使得注气方式的创新成为亟待解决的问题。
本发明提供了一种基于异步周期的采油装置。采油装置包括:至少一个井组及控制单元。每个井组包括井筒和至少一个水平井组,每个水平井组至少包括第一井和第二井。井筒与地面垂直,每个井组共用一个所述井筒,所述第一井和第二井均为与地面平行的水平井。所述井筒中设有套管、油管和封隔器,所述套管用于所述第一井的气体注入,所述油管用于所述第二井的原油生产,所述封隔器用于隔离所述油管和套管的环形空间。具体的,所述封隔器用于对井筒的油管与套管之间的环形空间进行封隔,确保从套管注入的气体进入第一井的水平井井段。所述控制单元用于对所述井组按照如下操作来执行:步骤1:通过套管注入气体至所述第一井,所述第二井进行焖井;步骤2:继续注入气体至所述第一井,以驱替原油至所述第二井,同时所述第二井通过油管进行生产;步骤3:对所述第一井和第二井进行焖井,以使所述气体进入低渗透区域;步骤4:所述第一井继续焖井,所述第二井通过油管进行生产。其中,在步骤1和步骤4的执行过程中,仅所述步骤1和步骤2注入气体至所述第一井。即,在其他相邻两步骤之间,例如,在步骤2至步骤3之间,不涉及向第一井注入气体的操作。
可选的,所述控制装置还用于依次反复执行步骤2至步骤4,并实时获取所述原油的油气比,当所述油气比低于预设阈值时,则完成异步周期采油任务。
本发明通过纵向上部署两口水平井:第一井和第二井,且两口井共用垂直段井筒,可以有效降低单井钻井成本,两口井水平段平行,实施分段压裂,两口水平井的垂向距离为单井压裂半缝高的两倍,以保证控制更多的储量,实现单井EUR(Estimated Ultimate Recovery单井评估的最终可采储量)最大化。
步骤1:通过套管注入气体至所述第一井,所述第二井进行焖井;注入的气体可以为烃类气体和/或非烃类气体,所述烃类气体为液化石油气、富气、干气等,所述非烃类气体为CO
2、N
2、空气、烟道气等。所述第一井和第二井的具体位置和连通情况根据具体的采油区地层情况确定。在步骤1中,对第二井进行焖井的主要作用是使注入气体不会通过第二井产出,从而使得所注入的气体保留在油藏内,提高油藏的压力,此时,气体持续向油藏孔隙内扩散。该步骤1能够提高整个地层的压力,压力的升高可以实现注入气体与地层原油的混相,同时减小 储层应力敏感,提高渗流能力和驱油效率。根据承受的强度不同,所述套管的材质为不同等级的钢材。
步骤2:继续注入气体至所述第一井,以驱替原油至所述第二井,同时所述第二井通过油管进行生产;按照一种优选的实施方式。所述第二井进行生产包括提取所述第二井中的原油并输出收集,采油操作的执行与第一井的注入气体操作相同执行。该步骤2可以建立井间的有效驱替,发挥气体在井间的驱替作用,高效驱替裂缝或高渗透通道内的原油,将易流动区域的原油快速采出,同时增大了注入气体与基质或低渗透区域的接触面积,有效提高了基质或低渗透区域内原油的动用率。根据承受的强度不同,所述套管的材质为不同等级的钢材。
步骤3:对所述第一井和第二井进行焖井,以使所述气体进入低渗透区域。该步骤3主要发挥焖井过程中气体的扩散作用,气体通过扩散进入原油、膨胀原油、降低多相界面张力和原油粘度。由于是焖井过程,所以该步骤3可以减弱气体的窜流作用,实现气体扩散进入基质或者低渗透区域,发挥膨胀、降低界面张力作用、降低原油粘度的作用机理,高效动用基质和低渗透区域的原油。
步骤4:所述第一井继续焖井,所述第二井通过油管进行生产。在步骤4中,继续对第一井进行焖井,是由于在第一井处于关闭状态时,不会有气体从第一井来进行注入和产出,使得第一井附近的气体中的一部分继续向油藏孔隙内扩散,而另一部分向第二井进行流动、驱替。该步骤4用于所述气体驱替剩余原油至所述第二井。通过生产井的降压衰竭开发,充分发挥溶解气驱的作用机理,实现基质、低渗透区域和井间剩余油的高效开发,同时这个过程不需要注入气体,可以节省注入成本,增加油气比,提高经济性。
在步骤1和步骤4的执行过程中,仅所述步骤1和步骤2注入气体至所述第一井。
执行上述步骤过程中,当步骤1中的地层压力高于预设的第一目标压力时,则执行步骤2;当步骤2中的地层压力低于预设的第二目标压力时,则执行步骤3;当步骤3中平均地层压力的导数为零时,则执行步骤4。所述第一目标压力为1.4倍的最小混相压力;所述第二目标压力为1.2倍的最小混相压力。
依次执行一遍步骤1至步骤4为一个采油周期,当执行多个采油周期时,相 邻采油周期的注入井和生产井可以进行互换。比如第一采油周期中的第一井为注入井,第二井为生产井,第二采油周期时可改成第一井为生产井,第二井为注入井。
整个开发采油过程可以将所有井组的注入井保持同步,所有井组的生产井也保持同步;也可以将几个井组进行组合成大井组,组合后的大井组内的井保持同步,或者井组按照顺序、倒序或者不规则的顺序依次进行异步周期注采开发。优选的,多个水平井组的第一井异步工作,和/或多个水平井组的第二井异步工作。
在异步周期注采过程中,根据生产井的气窜情况,可以在注入井的注入过程中加入用于抑制气窜的化学剂,化学剂可以是泡沫体系、凝胶体系或者其他可以有效抑制气窜的体系。在单周期中的注入井的注入过程也可以采用气水交替等有效抑制气窜的方式。
进一步,待采油区为非常规油藏或常规油藏。其中,所述非常规油藏选自页岩油和致密油,所述常规油藏选自低渗透油藏、断块油藏、稠油油藏和碳酸盐岩油藏中的至少一种。
单周期内各个过程中,气体的注入压力、注入速度、注入时间、焖井时间、生产时间、生产速度等关键参数采用室内物理模拟或者数值模拟进行优化。
所述单周期的四个过程中,只有第一个过程和第二个过程中从注入井注入气体,其余两个注入过程中均不需要注入气体,这样可以用更少的注入气体实现更好的采油效果,有效的提高了油气比和经济性。
所述控制单元还用于实时获取所述井组的环境参数,以控制采油参数。具体地,根据环境参数确定地层压力及地层流体的最小混相压力,再根据地层压力及地层流体的最小混相压力控制采油参数。比如,当平均地层压力低于最小混相压力时,以1.4MMP为目标压力实时控制注入量,注入速度的设计以不高于注入泵最大注入速度的90%进行配注。当平均地层压力高于1.4MMP时,跳过第一个过程,直接进入第二个过程。
所述环境参数至少包括:第一井的井底压力及井筒压力、第二井的井底压力及井筒压力;所述采油参数至少包括注入压力、气体的注入速度、气体的注入时长、焖井时长、生产时长及生产速度。同一水平井组的所述第一井和第二井沿所 述井筒的纵向上平行设置,所述第一井和第二井的距离为单井裂缝半缝高的两倍。
按照一种具体的实施方式,如图1所示,纵向上部署两口水平井:注入井m和生产井n,两口井共用垂直段井筒,两口水平井初期可以采用衰竭开发,也可以直接进入异步周期注采开发阶段。如果采用衰竭开发,第一井从油管j和套管i环形空间进行生产,第二井从油管j进行生产。
异步周期注采开发时,第一井作为注入井m,第二井作为生产井n,在井筒的垂直段,采用封隔器k密封油管和套管的环形空间。注入开始时,CO
2从井口采油树的注入端c注入到油管和套管的环形空间,进入注入井m的水平段;生产井n生产时,产出流体流入生产井n的油管,从井口采油树的生产油嘴b采出。
具体包括:在注CO
2异步周期注采过程中,通过井口采油树智能注采的控制单元a进行自动控制。所述控制单元a包括传感器、计算器及控制器。其中,所述传感器用于实时采集井组的环境信息;所述计算器用于根据所采集的环境信息计算地层压力、地层流体的最小混相压力和平均地层压力的导数;所述控制器用于控制采油参数,并执行上述步骤1-步骤4所形成的采油方式。进一步,所述传感器用于采集井口的套管第二压力表f、第一压力表d、油管气组成分析系统e、注入井m的第三压力表f、生产井n的第四压力表h的实时数据;所述计算器用于实时采集的井底压力计数据,通过内置数学模型实时计算平均地层压力;以及,基于采集的油管气组成,利用原始地层流体组成减掉油管产出气的组成,得到当前地层流体组成,而后通过当前地层流体组成计算得到相应的分子量,进一步利用如下数据模型来实时计算地层流体的最小混相压力(MMP):MMP=[(7.727×MW×1.005
T)-4.377×MW-329]/145,其中,MW为分子量,T为油藏温度。而且,计算器还用于实时计算平均地层压力的导数。
另外,所述控制器还用于根据实时计算的地层流体的最小混相压力(MMP),结合压力目标,利用内置模型计算优化确定注入速度和生产速度。例如:当地层流体的最小混相压力和地层压力均小于所述压力目标时,则调大注入速度和/或生产速度;当地层流体的最小混相压力和地层压力均大于所述压力目标时,则调小注入速度和/或生产速度。
进一步,所述控制器按照异步周期注采开发方式的要求,实时控制注入泵、井口采油树注入端c和井口采油树的生产油嘴b,进行智能注采调控,实现油藏高效开发。
另外,优选的,每个井组可以包括多个所述水平井组,相邻两个水平井组之间的夹角90°-180°。图2是本申请实施例的基于异步周期的采油装置的第一个示例的俯视示意图。图3是本申请实施例的基于异步周期的采油装置的第二个示例的俯视示意图。如图2所示,其为采油装置中井组的其中一种俯视图,该井组包括第一井筒300、第一水平井组301、第二水平井组302、第三水平井组303及第四水平井组304,每组水平井组均只是包括第一井和第二井,相邻两个水平井组之间的夹角为90度。如图3所示,该井组包括第二井筒400、第五水平井组401和第六水平井组402,相邻两个水平井组之间的夹角为180度。
本发明的异步周期的采油装置实现了高效、自动、智能控制,并且为异步周期注气采油方法配套设计了低成本立体开发注采井模式。
所述采油装置还发挥了升压混相动用原油、驱替原油、焖井扩散、膨胀动用原油、降压溶解气驱动原油机理,驱油效率超过90%,突破了注CO
2开发页岩油、致密油等非常规油藏技术瓶颈,实现了存在裂缝或高渗透条带的非均质油藏注气高效开发;在单周期的四个过程中,只有第一个过程和第二个过程中从注入井注入气体,其余两个注入过程中均不需要注入气体,这样可以用更少的注入气体实现更好的采油效果,有效的提高了油气比和经济性;并且本发明的低成本立体开发注采井模式,纵向上部署两口水平井,两口井共用垂直段井筒,可以有效的降低单井钻井成本,利用套管注气、油管采油,实现了两口水平井注采一体化,提高了效率;本发明还通过智能化控制将传感器、计算器、控制器集成在采油树上,实现平均地层压力、地层流体最小混相压力、目标地层压力的、注入速度、生产速度实时计算与精准控制。
基于上述基于异步周期的采油装置,本发明还提出了一种基于异步周期的采油方法。该采油方法根据上述基于异步周期的采油装置来实现。该采油方法主要用于页岩油、致密油等非常规资源、低渗透油藏、稠油油藏、整装油藏、断块油藏、高含水油藏、高温高盐油藏、碳酸盐岩油藏等特殊岩性油藏的开发。
图4是本申请实施例的基于异步周期的采油方法中的流程示意图。如图4所示,步骤S101为:在待采油区设置至少一个井组,每个井组包括井筒和至少一个水平井组,每个所述水平井组至少包括第一井和第二井,所述井筒与地面垂直,每个井组共用一个所述井筒,所述第一井和第二井均为与地面平行的水平井。其 中,所述第一井可以为注入井,第二井可以为生产井,所述每个井组可以包括多个第一井和多个第二井,所述第一井和第二井的注采方式可以不相同、注采周期可以不同步。同一水平井组的所述第一井和第二井沿所述井筒的纵向上平行设置,所述第一井和第二井的距离为单井裂缝半缝高的两倍。每个井组可以包括多个所述水平井组,优选的,相邻两个水平井组之间的夹角为180°。
所述井筒中设有套管、油管和封隔器,所述套管用于所述第一井的气体注入,所述油管用于所述第二井的原油生产,所述封隔器用于隔离所述油管和套管。
本发明通过纵向上部署两口水平井:第一井和第二井,且两口井共用垂直段井筒,可以有效降低单井钻井成本,两口井水平段平行,实施分段压裂,两口水平井的垂向距离为单井压裂半缝高的两倍,以保证控制更多的储量,实现单井EUR(Estimated Ultimate Recovery单井评估的最终可采储量)最大化。
步骤S102为:通过套管注入气体至所述第一井,所述第二井进行焖井。注入的气体可以为烃类气体和/或非烃类气体,所述烃类气体为液化石油气、富气、干气等,所述非烃类气体为CO
2、N
2、空气、烟道气等。所述第一井和第二井的具体位置和连通情况根据具体的采油区地层情况确定。
该步骤S102能够提高整个地层的压力,压力的升高可以实现注入气体与地层原油的混相,同时减小储层应力敏感,提高渗流能力和驱油效率。
步骤S103为:继续注入气体至所述第一井,以驱替原油至所述第二井,同时所述第二井通过油管进行生产。按照一种优选的实施方式。所述第二井进行生产包括提取所述第二井中的原油并输出收集。
该步骤S103可以建立井间的有效驱替,发挥气体在井间的驱替作用,高效驱替裂缝或高渗透通道内的原油,将易流动区域的原油快速采出,同时增大了注入气体与基质或低渗透区域的接触面积,有效提高了基质或低渗透区域内原油的动用率。
步骤S104为:所述第一井和第二井进行焖井,以使所述气体进入低渗透区域。该步骤主要发挥焖井过程中气体的扩散作用,气体通过扩散进入原油、膨胀原油、降低多相界面张力和原油粘度。由于是焖井过程,所以该步骤可以减弱气体的窜流作用,实现气体扩散进入基质或者低渗透区域,发挥膨胀、降低界面张 力作用、降低原油粘度的作用机理,高效动用基质和低渗透区域的原油。
步骤S105为:所述第一井继续焖井,所述第二井通过油管进行生产。该步骤S105用于所述气体驱替剩余原油至所述第二井。通过生产井的降压衰竭开发,充分发挥溶解气驱的作用机理,实现基质、低渗透区域和井间剩余油的高效开发,同时这个过程不需要注入气体,可以节省注入成本,增加油气比,提高经济性。
在步骤102和步骤105的执行过程中,仅所述步骤102和步骤103注入气体至所述第一井,在其他相邻步骤之间,例如,步骤103至步骤104之间,不涉及向第一井注入气体的操作。
在上述步骤执行过程中,当步骤102中的地层压力高于预设的第一目标压力时,则执行步骤103;当步骤103中的地层压力低于预设的第二目标压力时,则执行步骤104;当步骤104中平均地层压力的导数为零时,则执行步骤105。
依次执行一遍步骤S101至步骤S105为一个采油周期,当执行多个采油周期时,相邻采油周期的注入井和生产井可以进行互换。比如第一采油周期中的第一井为注入井,第二井为生产井,第二采油周期时可改成第一井为生产井,第二井为注入井。
整个开发采油过程可以将所有井组的注入井保持同步,所有井组的生产井也保持同步;也可以将几个井组进行组合成大井组,组合后的大井组内的井保持同步,或者井组按照顺序、倒序或者不规则的顺序依次进行异步周期注采开发。优选的,多个水平井组的第一井异步工作,和/或多个水平井组的第二井异步工作。
异步周期注采过程中,根据生产井的气窜情况,可以在注入井的注入过程中加入化学剂抑制气窜,化学剂可以是泡沫体系、凝胶体系或者其他可以有效抑制气窜的体系。在单周期中的注入井的注入过程也可以采用气水交替等有效抑制气窜的方式。
单周期内各个过程中,气体的注入压力、注入速度、注入时间、焖井时间、生产时间、生产速度等关键参数采用室内物理模拟或者数值模拟进行优化。
所述单周期的四个过程中,只有第一个过程和第二个过程中从注入井注入气体,其余两个注入过程中均不需要注入气体,这样可以用更少的注入气体实现更好的采油效果,有效的提高了油气比和经济性。
所述采油方法还包括实时获取所述井组的环境参数,用于控制采油参数。具体包括根据环境参数确定地层压力及地层流体的最小混相压力;根据地层压力及地层流体的最小混相压力控制采油参数。比如,当平均地层压力低于最小混相压力时,以1.4MMP为目标压力实时控制注入量,注入速度的设计以不高于注入泵最大注入速度的90%进行配注。当平均地层压力高于1.4MMP时,跳过第一个过程,直接进入第二个过程。所述环境参数至少包括:第一井、第二井的井底压力及井筒压力;所述采油参数至少包括气体的注入压力、气体的注入速度、气体的注入时长、焖井时长、生产时长及生产速度。
具体包括:在注CO
2异步周期注采过程中,通过井口采油树智能注采的控制单元a进行自动控制,所述控制单元a包括传感器、计算器及控制器。所述传感器用于采集井口的套管第二压力表f、第一压力表d、油管气组成分析系统e、注入井m的第三压力表f、生产井n的第四压力表h的实时数据;所示计算器用于实时采集的井底压力计数据,通过内置数学模型实时计算平均地层压力;利用采集的油管气组成,利用原始地层流体组成减掉油管气组成,得到目前地层流体组成,通过组成计算得到分子量,通过内置如下数学模型:MMP=[(7.727×MW×1.005
T)-4.377×MW-329]/145,其中,MW为分子量,T为油藏温度。实时计算地层流体的最小混相压力(MMP),根据压力目标,利用内置模型计算优化确定注入速度和生产速度;实时计算平均地层压力的导数。所述控制器按照异步周期注采开发方式的要求,实时控制注入泵、井口采油树注入端c和井口采油树的生产油嘴b,进行智能注采调控,实现油藏高效开发。
例如:过程一:井口采油树智能注采的控制单元a的传感器采集两口水平井的井底压力计数据,其计算器实时计算两口水平井井底压力的平均值,得到平均地层压力,以1.4倍的最小混相压力(MMP)为目标平均地层压力,计算、优化确定注入速度,开始CO

过程二:以平均地层压力达到1.2倍MMP为目标压力,进行智能注采驱替过程,注入井注入CO
2,生产井进行生产。智能注采控制系统的计算器中设定采注比,生产井按照智能注采控制系统计算的生产速度结果、定液量控制油嘴大小 进行生产,整个驱替过程中平均地层压力逐渐降低,智能注采控制系统的计算器实时计算平均地层压力,当平均地层压力降至1.2倍MMP时,注入井和生产井都关闭,进入下一过程。过程二的主要目的是利用压差驱替原油和重力驱替原油,扩大了CO

过程四:注入井继续关井,生产井进行生产,智能注采控制系统计算实时平均地层压力,当平均地层压力降低到0.8倍MMP时,生产井关井。第一个周期的四个过程结束,进入下一周期。过程四主要目的是溶解气驱替原油和重力作用驱油。
重复以上周期的四个过程,并实时获取所述原油的油气比值,直至油气比低于设定的阈值,则完成采油,只要产量高于经济极限产量,生产继续,否则,开发过程停止。

异步周期注采开发步骤:
步骤一:井口采油树智能注采控制系统的传感器采集得到两口水平井的井底压力为17MPa,开始时平均地层压力为17MPa,以1.4倍的最小混相压力(MMP)28MPa为目标平均地层压力,计算、优化确定以注入速度60吨/天开始CO
2注入,智能注采控制系统的计算器实时计算平均地层压力,待平均地层压力达到28MPa时,信号传到井口采油树的生产端,生产油嘴打开,进入第二过程。

重复六个周期,此时油气比为0.05,开发过程停止。
图5是本申请实施例的基于异步周期的采油方法中的周期采收率情况示意图。如图5所示,经过6个周期之后,采收率高达34%,明显的见到了大幅度提高采收率的效果。从周期采收率特征来看,随着周期数的增加,采收率呈现先快速增加,后缓慢增加的趋势。其中,第一周期的采收率数值最大,达到了15.5%。本发明的异步周期的采油方法发挥了升压混相动用原油、驱替原油、焖井扩散、膨胀动用原油、重力泄油、降压溶解气驱动原油机理,驱油效率超过90%,突破了注CO
2开发页岩油、致密油等非常规油藏技术瓶颈,实现了存在裂缝或高渗透条带的非均质油藏注气高效开发;在单周期的四个过程中,只有第一个过程和 第二个过程中从注入井注入气体,其余两个注入过程中均不需要注入气体,这样可以用更少的注入气体实现更好的采油效果,有效的提高了油气比和经济性;并且本发明的低成本立体开发注采井模式,纵向上部署两口水平井,两口井共用垂直段井筒,可以有效的降低单井钻井成本,利用套管注气、油管采油,实现了两口水平井注采一体化,提高了效率;本发明还通过智能化控制将传感器、计算器、控制器集成在采油树上,实现平均地层压力、地层流体最小混相压力、目标地层压力的、注入速度、生产速度实时计算与精准控制。
另一方面,本发明还提供一种基于异步周期的采油系统。该采油系统包括上述所述的采油装置及气体回收装置。所述气体回收装置用于实现对从井组中流出的气体的分离和回收。该采油系统在注入开始时,CO
2从井口采油树的注入端c注入到油管和套管的环形空间,进入注入井A的水平段;生产井B生产时,产出流体流入水平井B的油管,从井口采油树的生产油嘴b采出。实现在同井注气和采油,实现了低成本立体开发注采井模式。
