Abstract

The invention provides a method for exploiting super heavy oil through combination of auxiliary oil exploiting wells and steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). The method for exploiting the super heavy oil comprises the steps: S10, an oil reservoir is selected; S20, the auxiliary oil exploiting wells are drilled between adjacent well sets, and each well set comprises a production well and a gas injection well; S30, a viscosity reducing agent used for reducing the viscosity of crude oil is injected into the production wells and soaks the production wells, and the gas injection wells and the auxiliary oil exploiting wells adopt a huff and puff mode for production; and S40, after hot communication is established between the gas injection wells and the auxiliary oil exploiting wells, steam iscontinuously injected into the gas injection wells, and oil exploiting production is conducted through the production wells and the auxiliary oil exploiting wells. According to the method for exploiting the super heavy oil, the problem that in the prior art, the crude oil in a triangular area is very difficult to exploit in the later stage of SAGD production is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of heavy oil production, in particular to a method for producing super heavy oil by combining auxiliary production wells and SAGD. Background technique [0002] Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) technology was invented by Professor Buter of Canada in 1978. This technology has been successfully applied in the exploitation of heavy oil reservoirs. The main principle of SAGD is to deploy two vertically parallel horizontal wells at the bottom of the oil layer, and continuously inject steam from the steam injection well at the upper part of the displacement to the oil layer to heat the oil layer and crude oil. The steam chamber in the oil layer continues to expand, and the steam exchanges heat with the crude oil in the oil layer. . The condensed water formed after the crude oil is heated and the viscosity-reduced crude oil and steam condenses flows downward under the force of gravity. Crude oil is extracted from pr...
