Abstract

The invention provides a method for predicting diffusion coefficients of natural gas in tight sandstones under geological conditions. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring rock samples, screening tight sandstone samples and enabling the selected samples to be saturated with formation water; performing experimental determination on the diffusion coefficients of the natural gas under different temperature and pressure conditions according to the temperature and pressure change range of a stratum in a study area and the natural gas composition; establishing a dynamic model for natural gas diffusion coefficient and temperature, and determining the ratio of diffusion activation energy to a gas constant; establishing an index model for natural gas diffusion coefficient and pressure, and determining a diffusion pressure factor; establishing a linear model for the ratio of clay mineral content and diffusion activation energy to the gas constant; establishing a linear model for a pore throat median radius reciprocal and the diffusion pressure factor; establishing a diffusion coefficient multi-factor model; predicting the diffusion coefficients of different rocks under different temperature and pressure conditions in the study area.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of petroleum exploration, in particular to a method for predicting the diffusion coefficient of natural gas in tight sandstone under geological conditions. Background technique [0002] Tight sandstone gas has become a key area of ​​unconventional natural gas exploration in the world. At present, tight sandstone gas has been discovered or speculated to be developed in more than 70 basins around the world, with resources of about 209.6×10 12 m 3 , mainly distributed in North America, Latin America and Asia Pacific. The United States is the earliest area to develop tight sandstone gas, and the tight sandstone gas production in 2011 was about 1690×10 8 m 3 , accounting for 26% of total US natural gas production (EIA, 2012). With the advancement and large-scale application of large-scale fracturing technology in China in recent years, significant progress has been made in the exploration and development of tight sands...
