Abstract

The invention discloses a method for oil reservoir numerical simulation. The method comprises the steps that an initially selected near-well area is determined according to a near-well effect occurrence area; pressure equipotential lines in the initially selected near-well area are determined according to a well shaft diameter and a seepage equation generated when well shaft production reaches a stable state; a final near-well area is determined according to each pressure equipotential line; according to the pressure equipotential lines inside the final near-well area, a near-well coarse mesh model of the final near-well area is established; a far-well area model is established for an oil reservoir area outside the final near-well area; and a seepage model concerning oil reservoir values is determined according to the near-well coarse mesh model and the far-well area model, so that pressure distribution and yield of the oil reservoir area can be predicted. According to the invention, the initially selected near-well area is firstly determined according to the near-well effect occurrence area; then, the final near-well area is determined according to the pressure equipotential lines in the initially selected near-well area. In this way, the near-well coarse mesh model of the final near-well area can accurately simulate influences of near-well effects; the quantity of meshes is small; and the computation amount is small.
