By reading to the detailed description of following embodiment of the present invention that only provide as an example and in conjunction with the accompanying drawing shown in following, it is obvious that further feature of the present invention and advantage will become:
-Fig. 1 to 3, the example of the embodiment of well;
-Fig. 4 to 6, for the production of the example of the configuration of the device of hydrocarbon;
-Fig. 7, an example of device.
The present invention relates to a kind of method for the production of hydrocarbon, it is included in hydrocarbon reservoir makes at least two mouthfuls of wells.Then described method comprises with thixotropic fluid or has in the reservoir of fluid between well of delayed gel effect and produce conductive path, and set up electrical connection via conductive path between well, passing through via the Joule effect loses heat of electric current, described heat is conducted reservoir is warmed by heat, reduces thus the viscosity of hydrocarbon.The generation of lasting conductive path realizes in reservoir in simpler mode, and this is conducive to the production that reservoir warms and simplified hydrocarbon.
Fig. 1 to 3 shows the example for the production of the device of the hydrocarbon of heavy and viscous oil or pitch form.Target oil is contained in porous media.Fig. 1 to 3 shows the reservoir 11 that is comprised of more or less dipping bed.The mink cell focus of described hydrocarbon 12 for can not simply being extracted by pumping, these oil viscosities make them be difficult to be produced.
, according to first step, make well 13 and 14 penetrate ground in order to arrive the reservoir that contains hydrocarbon 12.According to Fig. 1 to 3, for example, described well is shown as vertical.The direction of well is unimportant, and the present invention not only can implement with simple peupendicular hole, and in some configuration can with turn to or horizontal well even, perhaps the combination in these orientation is implemented.The be separated by distance of approximately tens of rice (5 to 50m) of described well.
, in order to make path 16,, according to second step, will have the fluid of suppressing and be injected in the first well 13 that is called as Injection Well.Described pressure higher than the pressure in reservoir in order to allow fluid to penetrate in reservoir.If described pressure does not have far away in porous media, seepage flow will to occur higher than the pressure in reservoir.The passage that develops will be dendrimer (dendrite) form.If described pressure is far away higher than the pressure of reservoir, by expansion will generate wider passage (such as the fluid of water not only can be by described medium initial hole but also can clean out by " removing " grains of sand its road), can carry larger electric power.This will not have any fracture, because this is plasticity, non-brittle medium.In the second well 14, apply the pressure lower than the pressure in described medium, to produce enough barometric gradients between so-called Injection Well and a rear well.
Described fluid can be water especially.Utilize the bad mobility ratio between the oil of injected water and appropriate position.In fact, due to the strong viscosity of mink cell focus, the mobility of water is higher than the mobility of oil.This causes the fluid finger-type channel (fluidic fingering) between well 13 and 14 in reservoir., if described medium is heterogeneous, will form path in the most permeable layer of sand so.This is a kind of phenomenon that prevents of usually attempting, for example by injection of polymer in injected water.Injected water need to not processed before injection, even can use salt solution.
According to Fig. 1 to 3, as a shown well of example, be wherein vertical, path 16 along the location of described well the vertical direction of the well of Fig. 1 to 3 (in this case, according to) complete by checking deferred well logging.Seek correlation between the well that is used for location and target injection.In the situation that the several relevant permeable layer between well, with one that selects in the most suitable institute implementation method.
According to third step, the finger-type channel of fluid allows to produce path 16 between well 13 and 14.In order to make the lasting also conduction of this path 16, use thixotropic fluid, described thixotropic fluid (while stopping injecting) when being cut into zero solidifies, perhaps by adding in advance filler such as the gelling agent with delayed-action.Also can make injection fluid (such as water) perfect with the filler that causes injecting the fluid conduction.
The filler that causes injecting fluid (such as water) conduction can be for for example: coke blacking, graphite powder, CNT, metal powder or metal oxide.Their amount must be sufficient: account for 30 to 80 volume % of conductive material, preferred 60 to 70 volume %.
Can be converted on the meaning of solid-state particularity from liquid state from having, described fluid is thixotropic or has the delay gelating effect.Standing, described fluid incites somebody to action structuring again until it has the aspect (viscosity is infinitely great) of solid.This guarantees the durability of conductive path 16.This allows to produce passage, " the natural cable " of conduction in reservoir.
Make the filler of described fluid (for example water) thixotroping can be gel.The final response of conductive cable is that good temperature tolerance (because this is a heater) and good mechanical strength are to resist the barometric gradient that produces in reservoir by the pumping hydrocarbon.
In an alternative arrangements, after injecting fluid, in the beginning of second step, just directly comprise conductive filler.In the second alternative arrangements, have the fluid of delayed-action in injection after, in the beginning of second step, just comprise the filler that causes the fluid thixotroping.This delayed-action can be for example by being encapsulated in filler in the capsule that is covered with film and obtaining.These two kinds of configurations can be made up.
According to an example of the embodiment of conductive path 16, injected water, to produce path, then injects the silica gel that is loaded with carbon dust, and described silica gel has be used to the encapsulation ester that delays to solidify.
, according to the 4th step, in order to ensure conduction between well 13 and 14, electric current is injected wherein.Injection is interrupted, and makes the conductive path 16 that obtains thus and solidify be connected to generator (GE) 18.By Joule effect, electric current allows to provide heat energy and heating hydrocarbon to reduce its viscosity.This makes hydrocarbon more easily flow, and this allows their easier quilts to produce., according to Fig. 1 to 3, can realize with several means the electrical connection at well 13 and 14 places.
