Relative permeability is a fundamental parameter affecting reservoir development performance analysis. During the development of oil and gas fields, the displacement pressure gradient changes with time and space. This paper studies the effect of displacement pressure gradient on relative permeability. The oil–water relative permeability curves of a Bohai Oilfield under different displacement pressure gradients are obtained through experimental analysis. Based on the experimental data, a correction model of the permeability curve is established by regression of the Willhite model parameters. The correction model is introduced into the black oil numerical simulation, and the production performance and remaining oil are compared and analyzed. The results show that the displacement pressure gradient can have an obvious impact on the relative permeability curve. As the displacement pressure gradient increases, the two-phase span of the relative permeability curve increases, the oil displacement efficiency increases, and the water relative permeability increases. The relative permeability curves under different displacement pressure gradients can be accurately characterized by the Willhite model. The consideration of the displacement pressure gradient has an obvious impact on numerical simulation results. The conventional method of using a fixed relative permeability curve cannot truly reflect the production performance and the remaining oil distribution. This paper proposes a set of realization methods including obtaining laws from experiments, utilizing the empirical model to correct, and simulating to characterize reservoir changes.

Gas injection for enhanced oil and gas reservoir recovery is a crucial method in offshore Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS). The B6 buried hill condensate gas reservoir, characterized by high CO₂ content, a deficit in natural energy, developed fractures and low-pressure differentials between formation and saturation pressures, requires supplementary formation energy to mitigate retrograde condensation near the wellbore area through gas injection. However, due to the connected fractures, the B6 gas reservoir exhibits strong horizontal and vertical heterogeneity, resulting in severe gas channeling and a futile cycle, which affects the gas injection efficiency at various levels of fracture development. Based on these findings, we conducted gas injection experiments and numerical simulations on fractured cores. A characterization method for oil and gas relative permeability considering dissolution was established. Additionally, the gas injection development boundary for this type of condensate gas reservoir was quantified according to the degree of fracture development, and the gas injection mode of the B6 reservoir was optimized. Research indicates that the presence of fractures leads to the formation of a dominant gas channel; the greater the permeability difference, the poorer the gas injection effect. The permeability gradation (fracture permeability divided by matrix permeability) in the gas injection area should be no higher than 15; gas injection in wells A1 and A2 is likely to achieve a better development effect under the existing well pattern. Moreover, early gas injection timing and pulse gas injection prove beneficial in enhancing the recovery rate of condensate oil. The study offers significant guidance for the development of similar gas reservoirs and for reservoirs with weakly connected fractures; advancing the timing of gas injection can mitigate the retrograde condensation phenomenon, whereas initiating gas injection after depletion may reduce the impact of gas channeling for reservoirs with strongly connected fractures.
