    TOUGH+MULTILATERAL WELL MODEL CONSTRUCTION BASED ON MVIEW IN NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF NATURAL GAS HYDRATE

    • 摘要: 天然气水合物分布广、埋藏浅、清洁无污染、储量巨大,是极具发展潜力的清洁能源。为实现天然气水合物商业化开采,急需探索基于多分支井的高效开采技术。在使用TOUGH+HYDRATE模拟器开展数值模拟中,复杂结构井建模是研究工作的难点。为此提出了基于mVIEW的复杂结构井快速建模方法,以多分支井为例简要介绍了建模流程;此外,结合TOUGH+HYDRATE模拟器,以中国地质调查局2017年在南海北部陆坡深水区白云凹陷神狐海域SHSC-4试采井测井曲线数据为基础,建立理想水合物藏分层地质模型,开展单一水平井和多分支井在水合物Ⅱ层中部的降压开采数值模拟。模拟结果表明:该建模方法提高了模拟器在复杂建模方面的能力,对天然气水合物高效开采数值模拟具有较好效果和参考意义;相较于单一水平井降压开采,多分支井开采技术能最大限度地增加天然气水合物藏的裸露面积和深度,有效提高水合物藏储量动用程度,是值得探索的高效开采技术方法。

       

      Abstract: Natural gas hydrates are widely distributed and shallowly buried in the ocean. It is clean, pollution-free, and huge in reserves. As a clean energy source, it has great development potential in the future. In order to conduct the commercial exploitation of natural gas hydrate, it is necessary to explore the efficient gas hydrate exploitation technology based on multilateral wells. In the process to use the TOUGH+HYDRATE simulator to make numerical simulation, the complex structure well modeling is the difficulty. In this paper, we proposed a fast modeling method for complex structure well based on mVIEW. Taking the multilateral well as an example, the modeling process is briefly introduced in this paper. In addition, combined with the TOUGH+HYDRATE simulator, based on the logging curve data from the testing well of SHSC-4 operated by the China Geological Survey in 2017 in the Shenhu area of the Baiyun Sag in the deep water area of the northern South China Sea, an ideal layered geological model is established for hydrate reservoirs. Single horizontal well and multilateral well numerical simulation for depressurized production in the central part of the Hydrate Layer II is conducted. The simulation results show that: The modeling method has improved the simulator's ability in complex modeling and has good effect and reference significance for the numerical simulation research work for highly efficient gas hydrate production; Compared with single well depressurization production, multilateral well technology can maximize the exposed area and depth of gas hydrate reservoirs, and effectively increase the degree of production of hydrate reservoirs. It is a technical method worthy to be developed for efficient production of natural gas hydrates in the future.
