Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of heavy oil thermal production, and discloses a hot nitrogen assisted heavy oil reservoir steam huff and puff oil production system and method. The systemcomprises a steam generating device, a membrane separating device, a Christmas tree, a cementing cement ring, a bushing, an oil pipe and a packer; the oil pipe is arranged in the bushing in a sleevedmode, and an oil jacket annular region is formed between the oil pipe and the bushing; the bushing is arranged in the cementing cement ring in a sleeved mode, and the outer side of the bushing is tightly connected with the inner side of the cementing cement ring; one ends of the bushing and the oil pipe are fixedly connected with the Christmas tree, and the other ends of the bushing and the oil pipe are inserted into an oil layer; a bushing perforation layer section is formed at the position, close to the top of the oil layer, of the bushing, an oil pipe perforation layer section is arrangedat the position, close to the bottom of the oil layer, of the oil pipe, and the packer is arranged in the oil jacket annular region between the two perforation layer sections; steam produced by the steam generating device is injected into the oil pipe through the Christmas tree; and oxygen and nitrogen from the membrane separating unit are separately injected into the oil jacket annular region through the steam generating device and through the Christmas tree. The system increases the thermal efficiency of the steam and increases the recovery efficiency of heavy oil.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of thermal recovery of heavy oil, in particular to a thermal nitrogen-assisted steam huff and puff recovery system and method for heavy oil reservoirs. Background technique [0002] With the increasing development of the global economy, the world's demand for oil is growing rapidly. At present, the geological reserves of heavy oil in the world are about 6.3×10 12 bbl, which occupies a relatively large proportion of the world's oil and gas resources. Heavy oil, that is, high-viscosity heavy crude oil, is usually called asphalt or heavy oil. Its outstanding features are high content of colloid and asphaltene and less wax content, so the viscosity of heavy oil is very high. Under reservoir conditions, heavy oil seepage resistance is high, flow is difficult, and development is difficult. In my country, heavy oil resources are widely distributed, and onshore heavy oil resources account for more than 20% of the...
