A water invasion unit numerical simulation model for the distribution of water and water invasion channel in complex edge water reservoir

In order to accurately and intuitively characterize the distribution of water and water invasion channel in complex edge water reservoir, a water invasion unit numerical simulation model (WINS) that can simulate complex edge water invasion dynamics is established, based on well geological data and production data. The model discretizes the edge water into water unit connected to the production well unit, and discretizes the locations with clear geological understanding into dense unit. The more dense units, the more accurate the water invasion dynamics. Based on the water unit, production well unit, dense unit, the material balance method is used to calculate the pressure of each unit, the water flooding front propulsion equation is used to calculate the saturation and water cut of each unit, and the genetic algorithm is combined to modify characteristic parameters of the water unit and the water invasion channel, fit automatically production data, realize the re-identification of water distribution and water invasion channel. Different edge water and high-permeability bands are constructed through numerical simulator, and the simulated production results are substituted into the model to automatically fit. The results show that the edge water distribution and water invasion dominant channel inversely performed by WINS are consistent with the results constructed by the numerical simulator. Compared with the process of constructing edge water at the reservoir by Eclipse numerical simulator, WINS saves the tedious steps of building a model, and its calculation efficiency is higher. Not only that, WINS can intelligently and automatically fit parameters, reducing errors caused by human interference.
