根据稠油热采三维物理模拟相似准则,得到胜利孤岛油田特稠油油藏蒸汽驱及后续转热力泡沫复合驱三维物理模拟的实验参数并进行相关实验,基于实验结果,对蒸汽驱及后续热力泡沫复合驱进行三维精细数值模拟研究。结果表明,蒸汽驱后转热力泡沫复合驱可有效抑制蒸汽窜流、改善蒸汽波及状况进而提高稠油采收率。利用三维精细数值模拟技术优化设计的热力泡沫复合驱工艺参数为:最佳方式为泡沫段塞注入,最优蒸汽注入速度为25 mL/min,氮气注入速度为1000mL/min(标准状况),泡沫段塞注入时间为1.0min,段塞间隔时间10～20min;利用相似准则对优化结果进行反演计算,可得到现场最优注采参数,该条件下特稠油油藏采收率可达到42.15%,较单纯蒸汽驱最终采收率(29.64%)提高12.50%。

According to the similarity criterion of 3D physical simulation of thermal recovery,experimental parameters of 3D physical simulation of steam flooding and thermal foam compound flooding in extra-heavy oil reservoirs of the Gudao Oilfield were calculated,and relevant experiments were carried out.Based on the experimental results,3D fine numerical simulation was carried out to analyze the steam flooding and thermal foam compound flooding in heavy oil reservoirs.The results show that thermal foam compound flooding could effectively inhibit steam channeling and improve sweep efficiency,and thus enhance the oil recovery in heavy oil reservoirs after steam flooding.Technological parameters of thermal foam compound flooding were optimized according to the results of fine numerical simulation.The optimum injection method is foam-slug injection,the optimal steam injection rate is 25 mL/min,nitrogen injection rate is 1 000 mL/min（standard conditions）,the time of foam-slug injection is 1.0 min and the interval between foam-slugs is about 10-20 min during thermal foam-slug injection.At last,the similarity criterion was employed for inversion calculation of the optimization results.Based on the results,optimal field injection and production parameters can be confirmed.The ultimate recovery ratio of thermal foam compound flooding in super-heavy oil reservoirs could reach 42.15%,which is 12.50% higher than steam flooding.
