Problems solved by technology

[0005] Due to the high viscosity of ultra-heavy oil reservoirs, there is no flow ability under normal temperature conditions, and the pressure difference between injection and production wells is generally less than 100KPa. It is difficult to drive the flow of high-viscosity cold oil under low pressure difference. In this case, SAGD operation is implemented , will consume a lot of steam, and the long-term cycle preheating time will still cause the unevenness of the heating effect of the horizontal section, thereby reducing the degree of utilization of the horizontal section

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for increasing the communication length of an SAGD horizontal section of double horizontal wells. The method comprises the following steps that 1, through fine geological research and reservoir unit depiction, a low-permeability interlayer (3) of a well group control reservoir is recognized; 2, according to permeability range distribution of an oil layer between a steam injection well (1) and an oil production well (2), the steam injection well (1) is divided into a high-range difference section (11) and a middle-range difference section (12); 3, small-aperture high-density deep penetration perforation is conducted on the high-range difference section (11) of the steam injection well (1), and large-aperture deep penetration perforation and electric pulse artificial micro-crack operation are conducted on the middle-range difference section (12) of the steam injection well (1); and 4, viscosity reduction operation is conducted. According to the method for increasing the communication length of the SAGD horizontal section of the double horizontal wells, the flowing capacity of the horizontal section which is not used can be obviously improved, the production effect of a strong-heterogeneity super-heavy oil reservoir SAGD is guaranteed, and the oil production speed and the crude oil recovery ratio can be greatly increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for increasing the communication length of the SAGD horizontal section of a double-horizontal well. Background technique [0002] Super-heavy oil reservoirs refer to reservoirs with a degassed crude oil viscosity greater than 50,000mPa.s at the reservoir temperature. At present, super-heavy oil reservoirs use steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) technology with dual horizontal wells. In this process, steam is used as a heat source, and heavy oil is exploited by gravity of crude oil after viscosity reduction. If the dual-horizontal wells want to obtain a good production effect, the continuous thickness of the oil layer must be greater than 12m. When the thickness of the continuous oil layer is less than 12m, the oil field is generally exploited by steam huff and puff in horizontal wells. [0003] The length of the effective connecting section of the horizontal section of steam-assisted gravity drainage has a great i...
