Abstract

The invention discloses an air-injection displacement oil production method for producing oil from horizontal wells by means of injecting air in vertical wells. By the aid of the air-injection displacement oil production method, problems of low sweep coefficients of oil reservoirs, small receiving areas of existing production wells, low oil production speeds and recovery ratios and the like due to main vertical well-vertical well and vertical well-horizontal well oil production modes for air-injection displacement oil production at present can be solved. The air-injection displacement oil production method includes that an air injection well of each vertical well and two ends of a horizontal section of a production well are arranged to form included angles of 30-45 degrees, fan-shaped perforation is carried out on positions, 3-6 meters below the horizontal wells, of the vertical wells, nitrogen pressure tests are carried out, high-temperature steam and air are injected into the air injection wells to carry out spontaneous ignition, and air-injection displacement oil production can be carried out on the horizontal wells. The air-injection displacement oil production method has the advantages that the air-injection displacement oil production method is high in sweep coefficient of oil reservoirs; feed-through characteristics of air-injection displacement oil production can be sufficiently utilized, pyrolysis reaction generated by the air injected into the air injection wells of the vertical wells is nearly circularly diffused around the air injection wells, the production wells of the horizontal wells are provided with fan-shaped receiving surfaces and are wide in receiving area, accordingly, the air-injection displacement oil production method can be high in recovery percent under the propulsion effects of fan-shaped pyrolysis zones, and the recovery rates and the oil production speeds can be increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an air flooding oil recovery method in which air is injected into a vertical well and oil is produced in a horizontal well, belonging to the field of air flooding oil recovery. Background technique [0002] At present, most countries use water flooding in the field of oil exploitation. When water flooding enters the later stage, the water content of the production well will be too high, resulting in ineffective water circulation and insufficient formation energy. Air flooding technology can be applied to wells with low water flooding efficiency , shut-down wells, semi-shutdown wells, etc., compared with other oil recovery methods, the difference is that after the air enters the oil layer, the oxygen part in the air reacts with the crude oil to oxidize and crack the crude oil, the macromolecular chain breaks to form small molecules, and produces a large amount of carbon dioxide. The dissolution of carbon dioxide in crude oil enh...
