Abstract

The geological conditions of fault-controlled carbonate volatile oil reservoirs in Shunbei oilfield and the relationship between production wells are complex, and conventional methods have poor applicability in calculating dynamic reserves. Considering that the reservoir has the characteristics of fracture and cavity development, multi-phase seepage and inter-well interference, a volatile oil reservoir pseudo-pressure function was proposed and the functional relationship between saturation and pressure was given. The multi-phase flow material balance well group dynamics of the volatile oil reservoir material balance theory were established. The proposed method utilizes bottomhole flow pressure to calculate dynamic reserves, while there is no need for static pressure testing in the well group. The results show that the multiphase flow material balance equation describes the linear relationship between oil production rate and cumulative production. A partial correlation analysis was conducted on the main controlling factors of the well group's dynamic reserves, and it was concluded that the main factors affecting the production dynamic characteristics are average oil production, production decline rate and formation energy. Quantitatively evaluate the impact of errors in important parameters of the formation and fluid on the calculation results of dynamic reserves. It is believed that the compression coefficient and porosity of the formation have a great influence on the accuracy of dynamic reserve calculations. The well group dynamic reserve calculation method was applied to a typical well group in the Shunbei oilfield, and the dynamic reserve decrease in the calculation results of a single well was compared to quantify the decrease in dynamic reserves in the Shunbei oilfield due to inter-well interference. The method can accurately calculate the dynamic reserves of well groups in the Shunbei fault-controlled volatile oil reservoirs.
