AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technology allows for better understanding of how oil or gas develops within an area during drilling operations compared to previous methods such as vertically drilled boreholes. It simplifies the process of optimizing hydrocarbon production from subterranean formations while maintaining their integrity through optimal placement of certain types of equipment used downhole (such as pipelines). Overall this innovation improves efficiency and performance predictive analysis on both exploration-based and mineral resource extraction projects.

Problems solved by technology

The current methods discussed by this patents involve optimally developing horizontals with specific features such as fluid velocity or permeabilities. However, these techniques may be limited due to their limitations related to coupling mechanisms among different components within the borehole system during exploration operations. This limitation can lead to poor performance results when trying to optimize certain aspects like water injection into subterranean formations.

Embodiment 1

[0020] Such as figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the geological optimization design method for horizontal wells under the coupling condition of the wellbore and the reservoir, the steps are as follows:

[0021] In step 101, fine reservoir description is performed on the target reservoir, and a fine geological model of the target reservoir is established. The purpose of this step is to establish a relatively high-precision reservoir model and lay a geological foundation for obtaining and carrying out geological optimization design of horizontal wells. The process goes to step 102.

[0022] In step 102, based on the fine geological model of the target oil reservoir, the numerical simulation method of the oil reservoir is used to fully examine the dynamic and static data and repeatedly correct and perfect the fine geological model of the target oil reservoir. The purpose of this step is to make the established fine geological model represent the actu...
