Embodiment approach

[0037] According to one embodiment, the proppant containing magnetic nano-catalyst is prepared by the following method:

[0038] a. Contact the mixed solution of ferric salt and ferrous salt with alkaline aqueous solution to form Fe through hydrolysis and crystallization 3 o 4 particle;

[0039] b. Fe 3 o 4 Particles as carriers, in the Fe 3 o 4 supporting the transition metal on the particles to prepare supported catalyst particles;

[0040] c. ultrasonically stirring the supported catalyst particles in water for 0.5-2 hours, so that the particles are evenly dispersed in water to obtain the first dispersion system;

[0041] d. Mix the first dispersion system with the proppant, and ultrasonically stir for 0.5-2 hours to obtain the second dispersion system;

[0042] e. Centrifuge the second dispersion system, and heat the solid obtained after centrifugation at 150-200° C. for 5-10 hours to obtain the proppant containing the magnetic nano-catalyst.

[0043]In step a, the...

Embodiment

[0054] The method for in-situ mining of oil shale in this embodiment is as follows: figure 1 shown.

[0055] The oil shale in a certain place is deeply buried, generally 300-500m, and must be exploited underground. The average thickness of the oil shale reservoir 4 is about 26m, the average oil content is as high as 13%, and the total water content is 4%. The method specifically includes:

[0056] (1) Drill two vertical wells from the surface of the oil shale distribution area to penetrate the oil shale reservoir 4: one is a heating well 1 and the other is a production well 2, and the spacing between the wells is about 50m, and they are completed with casing;

[0057] (2) Preparation of magnetic nanoparticles by hydrolysis: ferric salt (Fe 3+ ) and ferrous salt (Fe 2+ ) is directly added to ammonia water, and the iron salt is instantly hydrolyzed and crystallized to form Fe 3 o 4 Nanoparticles (average particle size is 250nm);

[0058] (3) with the Fe 3 o 4 Nanoparticl...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of oil shale exploitation, and provides a method for in-situ exploitation of oil shale. The method comprises the following steps that 1, at least two wellsare drill in the ground surface of the oil shale distribution region to an oil shale reservoir; 2, the oil shale reservoir is modified, and cracks are generated; 3, a popping agent containing magnetic nanometer catalysts is injected into the oil shale reservoir, and distributed into the cracks in the oil shale reservoir; 4, a heater is placed into a heating well, and the oil shale reservoir is heated; under the heating condition, under the effect of the magnetic nanometer catalyst, kerogen in the oil shale reservoir is split into products containing shale oil; 5, the products are output to the ground surface through a producing well, and separation and collection are performed. The pyrolysis temperature of the oil shale is lowered in the oil shale heating process, conversion of immaturedkerogen into oil gas resource is accelerated, the conversion rate is increased, the crude oil viscosity is lowered, and the crude oil quality is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil shale exploitation, in particular, it provides a method for in-situ exploitation of oil shale. Background technique [0002] Oil shale is a very fine-grained sedimentary rock containing a large amount of immature organic matter or kerogen. my country's oil shale resources are very rich. According to the report of a new round of oil and gas resource evaluation commissioned by Jilin University in 2005 by the Ministry of Land and Resources, my country's oil shale resources converted into shale oil resources are 47.644 billion tons, and shale oil can be recycled. It is 11.979 billion tons, second only to the United States, ranking second in the world. Compared with the geological characteristics of oil shale in the United States, my country's oil shale resources are buried deep. The average thickness of oil shale is 20-30m, and most of them are sandwiched with sandstone and mudstone. There are few rich or...
