    Journal of Southwest Petroleum University(Science & Technology Edition)    2024, 46 (5): 1-18.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2022.10.18.04

    Shale gas horizontal wells usually do not have coring and electrical imaging scales, which makes it difficult to identify fractures. The fracturing operation curve can reflect the fracturing effect and the development of natural fractures before fracturing. Taking the deep shale gas formation of Block Y101 in Luzhou, southern Sichuan as an example, according to the type and characteristics of the fracturing operation curve in the sand-carrying fluid stage, the logging response characteristics of the fracture layer and the matrix layer before the fracturing of the horizontal well are calibrated. The wavelet transform is used to extract the high-frequency weak signal reflecting the fracture information to establish the wavelet comprehensive coefficient ( WI), the crossplot is used to select six parameter indexes sensitive to the fracture response, the analytic hierarchy process and the fuzzy mathematics method are used to construct the fracture evaluation comprehensive coefficient ( FI), and the relationship between different fracturing operation curve types and logging information is further combined to realize the identification and development level evaluation of horizontal well fracture layers. The results show that the fracturing construction curve of the sand-carrying fluid stage has a descending type (I), a descending stable type (II), a stable type (III), and an ascending type (IV). Among them, when the natural gamma high value, the compensated neutron and the density increase significantly, the acoustic time difference increases with the “jagged” cycle jump, the double lateral shows a “positive difference” and WI≥0.18, FI≥0.430, the fracturing construction curve is a descending type, and the fracture is well developed (F–A grade); When 0.390≤ FI<0.430, there are both downward type and downward stable type, and the fractures are more developed (F–B grade); when 0.350≤ FI<0.390, it is a descending stable type, and the fractures are generally developed (F–C grade).

    At present, China has basically formed the economic exploitation of shallow shale gas engineering technology system, and is moving towards deep layer (more than 3 500 m) exploitation. Deep shale gas has great development potential with rich reserve. But the problems of slow drilling speed and high cost caused by high hardness, high plasticity and high abrasiveness of deep rock are very prominent. Therefore, the efficient rock breaking methods and influencing factors in deep shale gas drilling are introduced. We analyze and summarize the efficient transmission technology of reducing friction and torsion in deep shale gas horizontal wells to improve bit breaking power; and we analyze and summarize new technologies of bit and tooth with strong attacking power and longer service, technology of rock breaking parameter enhancement by using speed-raising tool to assist bit and speed-raising tool-bit parameter matching technology that is suitable for deep shale gas, and briefly describe several new non-mechanical and efficient rock breaking methods, aiming to providing a reference for future economic and efficient exploration and development of deep shale gas.

    Journal of Southwest Petroleum University(Science & Technology Edition)    2024, 46 (5): 115-123.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2022.06.29.01

    During drilling and completion in shale formation, shale-liquid interaction between working fluid and shale is inevitable. In order to study the mechanism of shale-liquid interaction and its effect on in-situ stress distribution, laboratory experiments of shale-liquid interaction were carried out on Longmaxi Formation shale in southern Sichuan, and the mechanism and results of the shale-liquid interaction were clarified. On this basis, the influence of shale-liquid interaction on in-situ stress distribution was studied. The results show that the shale-liquid interaction can cause shale damage, and then the micro-fracture occurs, which leads to the shale swelling. The stress distribution can be affected during shale-liquid interaction, and the more complex the fracture network, the more obvious the influence of shale-liquid interaction on stress. Due to the shale-liquid interaction, the distribution of in-situ stress changes significantly during hydraulic fracturing, and the casing stress increases with the shale-liquid interaction time.

    Effects of Morphology of Hydraulic Fractures on Acid Etching Behaviors and Fluid Diversion Capacity
    GOU Bo, LI Xiao, MA Huiyun, ZHOU Changlin
    西南石油大学学报(自然科学版)    2019, 41 (3): 80-90.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2018.10.28.01

    At present, most simulations of hydraulic fractures are conduced based on the assumption of smooth parallel plates, ignoring the effects of the morphology of the fractures on acid etching behaviors and fluid diversion capacity. A self-developed device named "acid pressure test system for fracture fluid diversion" was used to simulate smooth and rough fractures, respectively, with smooth and rough plates to study the characteristics of acid etching behaviors and diversion capacity of the two types of fracture morphology with different acid injection volumes and periods. The results show that the tortuosity of the fracture profile increased after acid etching for smooth fractures, whereas the opposite was observed for rough fractures, as acid etching reduced the peaks and deepened the troughs. Increasing the acid injection volume or period led to significantly larger change in elevation, fracture width, acid dissolution amount, and diversion capacity for rough fractures than for smooth fractures, whereas the former had not only better retention ability of fluid diversion, but also higher sensitivity to changes in acid injection parameters. In conclusion, the assumption of rough plates is beneficial for realistically evaluating the diversion capacity of acid pressure fractures under reservoirs, thus improving the targetedness of the acid pressure scheme design and the acid pressure effect.

    西南石油大学学报(自然科学版)    2020, 42 (4): 121-126.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2019.03.21.02

    The gas reservoir pressure in Ledong X Area of the western South China Sea is up to 100 MPa and permeability is as low as 0.1 mD. The binomial productivity equation slope obtained from the productivity test regression of such high pressure and low permeability gas wells is often negative, and the real productivity cannot be obtained. The production binomial's slope of high pressure and low permeability is always negative which results in failure to get real capacity. The gas well testing process is analyzed and the material balance model within the effective supply range is established and solved. It is considered that except the first level system, the formation pressure changes with the output and time, and the lower the permeability of the formation, the greater the pressure change. The traditional binomial method does not consider the formation pressure change is the main reason for the negative slope of regression. Taking into account the formation pressure drop in the effective supply range during the test, the new binomial equation of deliverability and the expression of unobstructed flow are obtained by regression. It is considered that the unobstructed flow in the gas well is related to the original formation pressure, test conditions and formation physical properties. The correction of the binomial production equation of six high pressure and low permeability wells, such as LDX-5-A, has successfully solved the production capacity anomalies in this type of wells, provided a basis for rational development of gas fields in the next step and a solution to the abnormal capacity correction of such high pressure and low permeability gas wells.

    LI Chuanliang, LIU Donghua
    Journal of Southwest Petroleum University(Science & Technology Edition)    2024, 46 (5): 170-182.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2024.05.08.01

    In response to whether downward flow of oil and gas occurs in petroleum geology, based on the relevant theories of flow mechanics in porous media, the migration and accumulation mechanism of oil and gas and the formation mechanism of formation overpressure were deeply studied through theoretical analysis. The main understandings were obtained as follows: firstly, migration is different from flow, flow requires differential pressure drive, migration does not require differential pressure drive, and oil and gas migration is a discrete flow or droplet flow under buoyancy; secondly, oil and gas can migrate upwards, and downward flow of oil and gas will not occur due to the lack of driving force; thirdly, the laboratory experiments did not simulate underground conditions, with a large pressure difference and a high flow velocity, indicating oil and gas flow rather than oil and gas migration; fourthly, the mudstone formation is an open formation and there is no overpressure and formation water can balance formation pressure through flow; fifthly, oil and gas are separated and surrounded by formation water, and overpressure can occur and the overpressure is balanced by capillary pressure; sixthly, there is no upper source-lower reservoir model, and the source rock may not necessarily be located directly below the oil and gas reservoir. Lateral upward migration can also achieve the formation of oil and gas reservoirs.

    The influence of both Dysktra- Parkson coefficient and formation rhythm on alkaline / surfactant / polymer (ASP) system has been investigated at length through the combination of numerical simulation with core flooding in the light of Da Qing specific reservoir conditions. The results showed that as long as the Dysktra-Parkson coefficient is less than 0.85, the recovery can go up by increasing the viscosity of ASP system to improve the oil-water mobility and swept volume. However, regarding serious heterogeneous formation, high viscous ASP system is required to control the oil-water mobility, which will
    consume a great deal of polymer, therefore the cost would go up greatly. Furthermore, due to gravity segregation, the ASP swept recovery is better than that of waterflooding within regular rhythm formation, while within negative rhythm formation,the ASP swept recovery is worse than that of waterflooding. In a word, Dysktra-Parkson coefficient and formation rhythm are two important factors which affect the application of ASP technology and we should pay much attention to them in oilfield test practice.

    Optimization of Parameters for Well Flushing via Hot Fluid Circulation in Offshore Electric Submersible Pump Wells Clogged by Wax Deposits
    YANG Wanyou, ZHENG Chunfeng, LI Ang, WANG Lei
    西南石油大学学报(自然科学版)    2019, 41 (1): 129-136.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2018.04.18.02

    To investigate the distribution patterns of wellbore temperature fields during well flushing via hot fluid circulation in electric submersible pump (ESP) wells of the Bohai Oilfield, we constructed a computational model for the temperature fields of wellbores during hot fluid circulation in ESP wells based on the principle of conservation of heat. This model accounts for effects associated with the heating of the ESP, electric cable cooling, volume of hot fluid injection, injection depth, injection temperature, heat transfer in the wax-clogged pipeline segments, and thermal conductivities of seawater and air. Using this model, we analyzed the effects of injection temperature and injection volume on the wellbore temperature distribution of mixed production fluids. The results of this study show that the temperature distributions of mixed production fluids along the wellbore are positively correlated with increases in injection temperature and injection volume. Our model can be used as a guide to dewaxing processes in the field, thus prolonging the dewaxing cycles in wax-prone wells and reducing the rates at which fluid and oil production decrease over time.

    With the rise of deep learning in recent years, machine learning has been further developed in the oil and gas field. However, due to the particularity and complexity of the oil and gas industry, there is no training sample base suitable for deep learning, nor a targeted model establishment and selection method system. In addition, the uninterpretability of methods such as deep learning leads to the high dependence of learning models on the environment, which restricts the popularization and application of machine learning in the oil and gas industry. Starting from the development stage of machine learning, this paper introduces the major breakthroughs and problems in the application of machine learning in various fields of oil and gas industry. Then, suggestions are given on the processing methods and sample building of different types of data in the oil and gas industry, and how to carry out model adaptability analysis, etc. Finally, the development potential and research direction of machine learning in oil and gas artificial intelligence are proposed.

    Influence of Corrosion Pit Size on Stress Concentration of High Strength Steel Wire
    WU Mengxue, YIN Li, TANG Defa
    Journal of Southwest Petroleum University(Science & Technology Edition)    2021, 43 (6): 62-70.   DOI: 10.11885/j.issn.1674-5086.2020.10.22.01

    The mechanical properties of wires of cable-stayed bridges are extremely sensitive to corrosion. Corrosion pits on the surface of steel wires are caused by corrosion, which will lead to stress concentration and weaken local fatigue resistance of steel wires, and attract fatigue cracks to nucleate from here. This is usually the direct reason for the reduction of cable bearing capacity and service life of cable-stayed bridges. The influence of the length, width and depth of the pit on the stress concentration is discussed by means of numerical simulation. Firstly, a finite element model of a high-strength steel wire is established using finite element software ANSYS. Based on the different scale of pits, i.e. depth-width ratio and length-width ratio, the deep narrow and open pits are simulated. According to the data obtained by finite element calculation, the curve of the factors of pit size and stress concentration coefficient is fitted. According to the curve, the approximate calculation formula of stress concentration coefficient of semi-ellipsoid with different size ratio is established. Based on the stress distribution diagram of pits and the variation law of stress concentration coefficient with size ratio, the influences of length, width and depth of pits on stress concentration effect and stress distribution at pits are discussed, and the influences of three size factors on stress concentration effect are compared horizontally. The results show that the stress concentration coefficient of high-strength steel wire increases with the increase of the depth-width ratio or width-depth ratio of the corrosion pit, and decreases with its length. In addition, the variation of pit length has the most significant influence on the stress concentration coefficient of high-strength steel wire, followed by the pit depth and the pit width has the least influence.

    Description of Fluid Flow Characteristics for Fracture-cave Carbonate Reservoirs

    Many scholars believe that the seepage theory can not describe the fluid flow in fracture-vuggy carbonate reservoirs in Tarim Basin which have complex flow and are different in pore scale and pipe flow theory can solve the problem. In order to clarify this problem, the relationship between pipe flow and seepage is studied from three aspects: the concept of pipe flow and seepage, single-phase flow characteristics and mathematical characterization methods, oil-water two-phase flow characteristics and mathematical characterization methods. On this basis, the feasibility of using pipe flow equation to describe fluid flow in fracture-vuggy reservoirs is analyzed, and the characterization methods of fluid flow in fracture-vuggy reservoirs are discussed. The results show that, the seepage can be regarded as small-scale complex pipeline flow; In case of single-phase flow, there are two flow patterns in pipe flow: laminar flow and turbulent flow, and there are also two flow patterns in seepage flow: laminar flow and turbulent flow. The equations describing pipe flow and seepage flow are unified, while the equations describing turbulent flow are inconsistent, but both consider the influence of inertial force. In two-phase flow, there are many flow patterns in pipe flow. The seepage flow is small in scale and simple in flow pattern. Different characterization models are established for pipe flow according to flow patterns, and relative permeability curve is used to solve the two phase flow problem in seepage flow. It shows that there is no“conflict” between pipe flow and seepage flow. Seepage flow is small-scale complex pipe flow, but due to different disciplines and different research objects, different characterization methods are used for fluid flow. Restricted by the accuracy of reservoir description and the scope of research, the existing pipe flow description methods are not suitable for describing fluid flow in fracture-vuggy reservoirs. The characterization of fluid flow in fracture-vuggy reservoirs should be solved within the framework of seepage mechanics, with reference to the description method of pipe flow.

    In order to study the thermal dynamic problems of rough surface in the sliding friction process,we established a
    sliding contact model based on G – W(Greenwood –Williamson)model. In the model,the two sliding surfaces were simplified
    to an ideal smooth plane and another with spherical asperities. The coupled thermo-mechanical analysis for the sliding
    friction process and temperature and stress distribution of the rough body were discussed in the paper. The temperature rise,the
    equivalent stress and contact stress were analyzed under different relative sliding velocities,initial pressure intakes and friction
    coefficients. The results show that the changing process of the highest temperature of the rough body with the movement time
    can be divided into sharp and slow growth stage. The higher the relative sliding velocity,the greater the displacement under the
    highest temperature in the first stage is. The durations of the first temperature changing stage are nearly 0.05 ms under different
    initial pressure intakes. The maximum equivalent stress and contact stress of rough body increase with the increase of the initial
    pressure intake and friction coefficient.

    The analysis of plate evolution,stratigraphy development,factors of source,reservoir and seal of passive continental
    margin basins in Bengal Gulf West reveals that the basins have experienced three rift development phases,i.e. pre-rift,syn-rift
    and post-rift phases,and they developed into passive continual margin basins in the late post-rift phase with the India Plate
    drifting to north. According to plate evolution and stratigraphy sequence features,the basins could be subdivided into prerift,
    syn-rift and post-rift mega-sequences,seven third-level sequences and six reservoir accumulation associations. Current
    exploration activities are mainly concentrated on Tertiary sequences of onshore and shallow offshore area. Studies on evolution
    and geological features of passive continental margin basins in Bengal Gulf West result in conclusions that further petroleum
    exploration prospects should be Perm-Tri channel sandstone of Pre-rift sequence,Cretaceous delta and fluvial sandstone of
    Syn-rift sequence,sub-water channel sandstone of passive continental margin Tertiary and deep water turbidity sandstone of
    post-rift sequence.

    Gas hydrate technology has broad application prospects in the fields of natural gas solid state storage and transportation, seawater desalination, carbon dioxide storage, etc. The rapid formation of hydrate is considered to be one of the key problems restricting the application of hydrate technology. But the hydrate reactors have not been developed completely, and the formation rate cannot meet the industrial requirements due to the late start of researches on rapid hydrate formation. Therefore, realization of the rapid formation of hydrate is one of the urgent problems to be solved in the application of gas hydrate technology.

    Kelameili volcanic condensate gas reservoir is rich in resources, but due to the variable lithofacies, developed fracture and active edge and bottom water, the gas wells generally produce water in the process of development. Accurate identification of water invasion laws, water production characteristics and water production patterns of gas wells has important reference value for the development of new gas reservoirs and the adjustment of old gas reservoirs. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the geological and development data of typical gas reservoirs in Kelameili, we find that the conventional method suitable for water invasion identification of fractured water-producing gas reservoirs has some limitations, and the combination of numerical simulation technology is more beneficial to recognize the water production laws. The curves of water invasion and water production of gas reservoir show that the main source of water production are edge and bottom water, which seriously affect the gas well productivity. According to the results of numerical simulation, the water production modes of gas wells are divided into five categories. The actual water production curves of 98 gas wells in typical gas reservoirs in the study area are qualitatively divided into five categories by statistical analysis. The results of simulation curves are basically consistent with the actual production curves. The results of water production mode division based on numerical simulation are highly reliable, which can provide reference for the deployment and real-time control of gas wells in volcanic condensate gas reservoirs.

    The selection of a proper drilling fluid system is the key to enabling fast and high-quality drilling operations while avoiding or reducing the occurrence of drilling accidents when working in deep wells, ultra-deep wells, and complex formations. When designing the drilling fluid using case-based reasoning (CBR), the drilling fluid system can be derived from multiple attributes such as lithology, well type, and well depth. However, the derivation results can be substantially affected by each attribute's weight assignment. The genetic algorithm suffers from slow convergence and low convergence precision when used for optimization of the attribute weights. Considering this issue, this study proposes an improved genetic algorithm to address the issue of attribute weight assignment in CBR. Initially, the genetic operator is improved using the following techniques. An exponential scale transformation method is used to optimize the selection of the individual operator. A self-adaptive adjustment is performed on the scale factors in the arithmetic crossover. With reference to the mutation operator, the mutation direction of each individual is modified to maintain the diversity of the population. Next, the self-adaptive adjustment of the crossover probability is realized from two aspects, namely the individual fitness and the level of variation between crossover individuals. Finally, by performing comparative experiments on the UCI dataset, we proved that the improved genetic algorithm can enhance the global convergence performance and increase the accuracy of CBR. Experimental results demonstrate that applying the improved genetic algorithm to the CBR-based drilling fluid design can effectively optimize the weight assignments of each attribute and therefore improve the quality of drilling fluid.

    Fracturing flowback fluid is complex in composition and difficult in treatment because it is rich in chemical additives and is affected by formation water and cuttings. Based on the comparison of relevant regulations on water environmental protection and fracturing flowback fluid treatment in shale gas development between China and the United States, we find out the following problems in the environmental supervision of shale gas development in China:the unified coordination organization for the environmental supervision of shale gas development has not yet been formed; the environmental regulations and standards related to shale gas development are not perfect; the basic scientific research is weak. Therefore, the countermeasures of shale gas fracturing fluid management in China are establishing on a sound regulatory system and carrying out the entire process environmental supervision, improving basic scientific research, and enhancing the technology and management system.

    The study of the microscopic distribution of formation water can provide reference and basis for the optimization of favorable zone selection and gas well production system. Using thin section, scanning electron microscope, mercury injection, nuclear magnetic resonance, two-phase flow experiment, logging, and production dynamic data, the study of the pore structure, reservoir water distribution state, and production characteristics of the tight sandstone gas reservoir in the Shaximiao Formation of Zhongjiang Gas Field was conducted. The results show that the average median pore throat radius of Class I, II, and III reservoirs in the Shaximiao Formation of Zhongjiang is 0.30, 0.16 and 0.04 μm, respectively. Formation water exists in the form of free water, capillary water, and thin film water in the reservoir. Thin film water is widely distributed, capillary water mainly exists in the throats with a radius less than 0.100 μm, and free water can be seen in reservoir with poor matching relationship between fault and sand body and low structural position. The main source of water production in gas wells is condensate water, capillary water, and thin film water, with the overall characteristics of low water production, low mineralization, low water-gas ratio, and an increase in the latter. The evaluation and development of high water-saturated areas should primarily target I and II reservoirs, and production pressure differentials should be appropriately controlled during production of water-gas wells.

    Fan delta is the important reservoir, and its reservoir quality variations strongly influence the distribution of residual oil. It was previously believed that the physical property rhythm and particle size rhythm of sandstone reservoirs were consistent. But it was not clear whether the physical property rhythm and particle size rhythm were consistent for fan delta glutenite reservoirs with coarse grain size. Field survey, unmanned aerial observation and indoor experiments were used to investigate the fan delta of Sangyuan outcrop within Xiguayuan Formation of Lower Cretaceous in Luanping Basin, aiming to analyze the quality variations and control mechanism. The results show that: the small conglomerates and coarse sandstones with moderate sorting and low argillaceous content have the higher original pores and more compaction-resistant, and have the best physical properties; when granularity becomes coarse with worse sorting, and the argillaceous content increases with the granularity finer, the physical properties of the reservoir become worse. In the positive rhythmic distributary channel and the positive rhythm mouth bar, the vertical upward as the medium-fine conglomerate becomes to the medium-fine sandstone, reservoir physical properties from the bottom to the top become better to worse, and as the lateral granularity from the middle to sides becomes finer, the physical properties of the reservoir become worse. The anti-rhythm mouth bar from the bottom to the top becomes from fine sandstone to coarse sandstone and small conglomerate, the physical properties become better, and as the lateral granularity from the middle to sides becomes finer, the physical properties of the reservoir become worse.

    At present, strong structural deformation aggravates the difficulty of well trajectory design and construction, making the predicted depth far from the actual depth. In addition, the existing seismic steering drilling technology is not yet mature. To solve the above problems, in order to efficiently and accurately complete pre drilling geological evaluation, well trajectory design and real-time drilling correction, this paper proposes a seismic steering drilling method and process based on 3D geological modeling, which is divided into three stages. First, complex geological modeling. After setting initial parameters of the model, section modeling and layer modeling, a fine 3D structural model is obtained, and on this basis, a reservoir sensitive attribute model is generated. Second, 3D well trajectory design. According to the characteristics of structure, reservoir and oil and gas reservoir reflected by the attribute model, and in combination with the needs of drilling engineering, the well trajectory is designed and picked up in the 3D attribute model. Third, create the “marker bed inverted triangle layer by layer approach method” to conduct velocity depth interactive correction, correct the velocity volume through the newly drilled marker bed depth, so that the depth domain 3D model gradually approaches the real underground model, and the predicted depth of the target entry point constantly approaches the real depth, timely guide the drilling direction and avoid drilling risks. The technical process has achieved good results in practical application, the error rate of prediction depth is less than 0.2%, and the work efficiency is improved by 5 times.

    Static pressure,differential pressure and Poisson′s ratio of the rubber affect downhole motors′ output performance and mechanical efficiency greatly.This paper takes a 5/6-lobe downhole motor which is consumed the most as research object,and the forced state and deformation regularity of a downhole motor stator lining has been obtained by FEM analysis software firstly under an static pressure and then under an static pressure with a working pressure difference.Furthermore,the affection by Poisson′s ratio of the rubber is analyzed.The result shows that the deformation regularity is affected little by static pressure,but the deformation amplitude is affected more,and seriously affects the sealability;a working pressure difference can transform deformation regularity and deformation amplitude,but the influential action will be decreased as the inner pressure increased;a small change of Poisson′s ratio of the rubber can affect the deformation regularity seriously.Therefore,the rubber quality should be controlled strictly and Poisson′s ratio of stator rubber shuould be raised as much as possible.The research results can be applied to guide the selection of interference and optimize the design of linetype,so as to improve downhole motors′ working efficiency.

    Polyamine water-based drilling fluid is considered to be of high performance and most close to the properties
    of water-based invert emulsion mud developed in recent years. Because of the unique molecular structure and outstanding
    inhibition,the new polyamine shale inhibitor has been showing more and more attention. The inhibitive properties between
    polyamine and potassium chloride are evaluated by bentonite inhibition test,buckle hardness test,shale hot-rolling dispersion
    test,slake durability test,shale linear swelling test and the interlayer spacing measurement and so on. The results indicate that,
    compared to potassium chloride,polyamine can suppress clay hydration and dispersion with low concentration but long effect.
    Also polyamine exhibits high temperature resistance. Compatibility tests indicate that polyamine is compatible with bentonite
    and common additives. Based on SDA,polyamine water-based drilling fluid is developed. The experiments demonstrate that
    the system shows high performance of anti-salt,anti-calcium and anti-cuttings pollution.

    On the basis of studying foreign and domestic sandstone classification , this paper suggests a new , suitable sandstone classification. Firstly , according to the matrix content , sandstone is divided into two categories : the sandstone with matrix < 15 % is anenite ; matrix > 15 % is wacke. Three end members on the classification triangle chart are quart (Q) , feldspar
    (F) and rock debris (R) . Sandstone is divided into three classes. The andstone that has Q > 75 % is quart sandstone , which is Q < 75 % and F > R is feldspathic sandstone , which has Q< 75 % and R > F is lithic sandstone. Quart sandstone is divided into four types : pure quartzose < sandstone , quartzose sandstone , feldspar quartzite , and lithic quartzite. Feldspathic sandstone is divided into three types : arkoses , lithic arkoses , subarkose. Lithic sandstone is divided into three types : litharenite ,feldspar litharenite , sublitharenite.

    In the (extra) high water-cut stage, the semi-logarithmic curve showing the relationship between the oil/water relative permeability ratio and water saturation tends to reach a turning point. Thus, applying the traditional linear theory of the relative permeability curve to the development of oil/water displacement in the (extra) high water-cut stage is difficult. In this study, nonlinear theoretical study of relative permeability in the high water-cut stage was conducted using a rational function for relative permeability established through a mathematical modeling method. Its parameters were identified based on the local weighted regression theory, and the appropriateness of the fitting was tested by constructing F-statistics. This is the first study in which the rational fitting theory has been applied to the characterization of relative permeability relationships in the (extra) high watercut stage. Through the use of actual data from the Beier, Yushulin, Xifeng, and Yangerzhuang oilfields, the traditional linear fitting, quadratic polynomial fitting, exponential fitting, and linear fitting methods based on data deformation were compared and analyzed. The new method and the oil/water displacement characteristic curve on which the new method is based showed higher prediction precision and stronger correlation. The new method can be used to reflect accurately the semi-logarithmic axis bending characteristics of the relative permeability curve of the (extra) high water-cut stage.

Both critical water height what denotes the water height corresponding to the onset of a water plug and the profile of oil-water interface are theoretical analyzed. The results show that the former should depend on the pipe diameter,oil superficial velocity and physical properties, among which the pipe diameter and oil superficial
    velocity are two main factors. While the latter relies on the residual water volume in horizontal tube, initial of onset of a water plug, the profile of oil-water interface, and the physical parameters.

    At present, more than 80% of the developed gas fields in China produce water, which seriously affects the productivity of gas wells. Chemical water plugging is an important means to enhance gas recovery of water producing gas reservoir. This paper summarizes the chemical water plugging materials commonly used in gas wells at home and abroad, and discusses the mechanism and adaptability of water plugging. The results show that the polymer and polymer gel achieve disproportionate gas-water permeability reduction (DPR) through resistance effect, inertia effect and lubrication effect. The polymer plugging agent is suitable for medium and high porosity and permeability reservoirs, and its environmental adaptability is improved by pretreatment fluid + modified polymer. Polymer gel is suitable for high temperature, high salinity and fractured water producing gas reservoir. The relative permeability modifier realizes DPR through wettability change, which is suitable for low permeability, dense and high water producing gas reservoirs, but not suitable for fractured gas reservoirs. Functional fluids (functional nanofluids, microemulsion systems, etc.) are designed for specific reservoir conditions (such as condensate gas reservoirs) to achieve DPR through wettability changes; foam gel achieves DPR by Jiamin effect and shunting effect, which is suitable for strong heterogeneity and fractured gas reservoirs. At the same time, this paper analyzes the challenges faced by gas well water control, and further puts forward six gas well water control strategies and research directions, such as adopting different ideas according to the source of water, developing new materials for separating membrane water control, transforming reservoir environment with pretreatment fluid, and integrating moderate water production and water control. The research results of this paper can provide guidance for gas well water plugging practice.

    To better understand the effect of the non-Darcy flow moving boundary,the effect of non-Darcy flow near wellbore
    caused by high velocity on productivity prediction was studied. Based on seepage theory and inertial theory,the non-Darcy
    moving boundary equation and a new deliverability equation are derivated. Then we proposed the concepts of critical permeability,
    critical productivity and critical pressure,and the non-Darcy boundary skin factor. Only when permeability,gas rate
    and pressure are all larger than critical value,non-Darcy flow appears. And a non-Darcy moving boundary skin factor is a
    function of permeability,porosity,critical Reynolds number and β expressions,which reflects the effect of the petrophysical
    properties. And the larger the skin is,the narrower the moving boundary is and the greater its effect. Finally,a comparison with
    conventional deliverability equation revealed that,if the permeability range is 1∼10 mD,significant differences exist in these
    IPR curves. This paper proposed the effect of non-Darcy flow moving boundary on production prediction,which improve the
    accuracy of the productivity prediction.

    The lower Paleozoic clastic play is the most important gas play in Oman Basin,the sandstone reservoirs of Cambrian-
    Silurian Haima Group and its overlying thick mudstone being the basic reservoir-caprock combination,Huqf Group is the most
    important source rock. This paper analyzes the petroleum geological conditions,hydrocarbon accumulation models,exploration
    potential and risks. In the center of Ghaba sub Basin,Huqf source rock only generates gas today. The pores of early traps were
    mostly filled with the pyrobitumens formed by high formation temperatures. Attention should be paid to the traps formed after
    Cretaceous in exploration. The central palo-uplift of Ghaba Basin was a barrier for lateral migration,so the traps in east flank
    have risk of hydrocarbon charge. In the center of south Oman Sub Basin,it′s difficult for hydrocarbon to migrate vertically
    through the thick Ara salt to the upper Haima Group,so most of the traps lack potential. In the east flank of south Oman Basin,
    for the continued dissolution of Ara salt,which destroyed the seal of former oil pools,the oil released from them could recharge
    new traps of Haima Group,so there are chances for oil exploration.

    There are few reports in the literature on the effects of linear faults on well test interpretations, especially for linear faults located within combined oil and gas reservoirs. To address this gap, we have constructed a mathematical model for interpreting well tests from infinite formation combined oil and gas reservoirs with two radial zones based on seepage mechanics. Solutions for this model were obtained via Laplace transformations; the principles of image theory and superposition were then used to study the dimensionless bottom hole pressure and pressure derivative curves corresponding to combined oil and gas reservoirs that contain linear faults, along with the factors affecting these curves. The results of this study are as follows:when the distance between a fault and well is less than half the radius of the inner area, the dimensionless pressure derivative curve changes from the 0.5 horizontal line, indicative of an infinite-acting radial flow, to the 1.0 horizontal line, indicative of a faultaffected inner area, and the value that shows the fault's impact on the outer area is the M 12 horizontal line. When the distance between a fault and well is more than half the radius of the inner area, the dimensionless pressure derivative curve shifts from the 0.5 horizontal line, corresponding to an infinite-acting radial flow, to the M 12/2 horizontal line, which shows the characteristics of the outer area, and the value that is indicative of the fault's impact on the outer area is the M 12 horizontal line.

The study shows that supercharging can solve the above problems effectively, the supercharging plan of centralized and staged construction is optimum. Centralized supercharging installs compressors in the same station, but the construction can be carried out in two stages, which can not only minimize the loss of resources, but also alleviate the shortage of infrastructure personnel. By means of optimizing the production capacity profile and installing the flow switching devices in the booster station, the total required power of supercharging can be reduced to 43 MW, the number and utilization ratio of compressor are optimal, minimize investment and maximize benefits. The project has been approved by the resource country and 13 compressors have been put into operation in two stages, the production capacity construction target was successfully completed, effectively guiding the orderly progress of the project, the development effect of the gas field is improved.
