Abstract:

With the increasing difficulty in oil and gas development and insufficient replacement of resources, traditional development of oil and gas reservoirs faces multiple challenges, requiring intelligent analysis solutions for enhanced development efficiency. This study focused on the demand and application scenarios for efficient development in conventional oil and gas reservoirs and shale gas reservoirs and proposed an innovative intelligent technology for oil and gas development based on multi-model approaches. It enabled decision-making of production and efficiency allocation, comprehensive abnormal situation awareness, and intelligent balanced injection-production optimization. This effectively promoted the intelligent exploitation of reservoir resources, providing technical support for balanced injection-production and efficient development in multilayered complex waterflood reservoirs. A pressure prediction and capacity factor analysis technology for shale gas reservoirs was developed, along with an abnormality warning mechanism to push alerts about abnormal factors and their root causes. This achieved a transition from post-event analysis to early warning and pre-emptive intervention, thereby supporting the efficient development of gas reservoirs. Breakthroughs were made in establishing a multi-modal self-diagnosis and evaluation technology for oil wells, achieving intelligent diagnosis of pumping well operating conditions, self-diagnosis and intelligent evaluation of electric pumping well conditions, and real-time calculation of dynamic fluid levels in oil wells. These supported measure formulation, enabled refined management of oil wells, and made injection-production adjustments more timely and accurate, effectively improving the production time ratio of oil wells. The integrated technology application supported developing a new operational model featuring “comprehensive awareness, integrated coordination, early warning, and analysis and optimization” for the dynamic management and control of oil and gas reservoirs. These research technologies have been widely promoted among upstream companies of Sinopec, with practical application focusing on multi-model oil and gas development technologies. This study offers new ideas and technical approaches to address key challenges in the efficient development of oil and gas reservoirs, driving the digital and intelligent transformation of the oil and gas sector and facilitating the efficient and high-quality development of oil and gas fields.

Key words: conventional oil and gas reservoirs, shale gas reservoir, decision-making of production and efficiency allocation, development situation awareness, balanced injection-production optimization, capacity factor analysis, intelligent diagnosis of operating conditions
