Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development, and in particular to a diffusion coefficient calculation method considering nano confinement effect. BACKGROUND
[0002] Molecular diffusion plays a key role in the process of oil and gas migration in tight shale reservoirs. In the ultra-low permeability shale reservoirs with nano-scale pores, molecular diffusion is comparable to convective viscous flow, and the mass transfer process is dominated by diffusion. However, there is currently a lack of diffusion coefficient calculation methods suitable for nano-porous porous media such as shale.
[0003] Traditional methods for calculating diffusion coefficients are mainly based on Sigmund's empirical correlation formula, which are widely used in conventional oil and gas reservoirs, but do not consider the nano confinement effect. In nano-scale pores, the nano confinement effect changes the phase behavior and physical parameters of the reservoir fluid.
[0004] Existing state equations such as the Peng-Robinson equation perform well in describing the phase behavior of conventional oil and gas reservoir fluids, but when directly applied to nano-porous systems without modification, the accuracy is insufficient. Phase equilibrium calculation is the basis for determining the composition of gas-liquid two-phase, but the traditional method fails to consider the influence of nano-pores on phase equilibrium. The calculation of oil and gas two-phase molar density is a key step in determining the diffusion coefficient, and although the SIGMUND empirical formula can well predict the binary diffusion coefficient of gas-liquid mixture under high pressure conditions, it also fails to consider the influence of nano confinement effect.
[0005] Experimental studies have shown that the effective diffusion coefficient in porous media is 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than that in the bulk phase, which is closely related to the intrinsic characteristics of the rock, but the traditional calculation method is difficult to accurately characterize this difference.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to establish a complete method that systematically integrates state equation modification, phase equilibrium calculation, molar density determination, and diffusion coefficient calculation. SUMMARY
[0007] The purpose of the present application is to provide a diffusion coefficient calculation method considering nano confinement effect, which integrates state equation modification, phase equilibrium calculation, molar density determination, and diffusion coefficient calculation, and systematically incorporates nano confinement effect into the whole process of diffusion coefficient calculation, overcoming the calculation bias caused by ignoring nano effect in traditional methods, and significantly improving the accuracy of fluid diffusion coefficient prediction in tight reservoirs such as shale.

[0138] To verify the effectiveness of the method of the present invention, Bakken shale oil samples were used as reservoir fluids for illustration.
[0139] The fluid composition of Bakken shale oil is shown in Table 1.
[0140] Table 1. Mole fractions of components in Bakken shale oil
[0141] Component [C1] [C2] [C3] [C4] [C5 C6] [C7C 12 ]]> [C 13 C 21 ]]> [C 22 C 80 ]]> Mole fraction 0.36736 0.14885 0.09334 0.05751 0.06406 0.15854 0.0733 0.03704
[0142] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the calculation of the diffusion coefficient using the aforementioned diffusion coefficient calculation formula, considering the nanoconfinement effect. Using the modified PR equation of state, the diffusion coefficients Dco2-g and Dco2-G of CO2 and C5C6 components in the gas phase of the Bakken shale oil system at a pressure of 1500 psi are calculated as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, at a pressure of 3000 psi, the diffusion coefficients Dco2-l and Dco2-L of CO2 and C5C6 components in the liquid phase are as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown.
[0143] pass Figure 3 It can be seen that the diffusion coefficient of CO2 decreases significantly in both cases with increasing CO2 mole fraction. Considering the nanoconfining effect, the overall diffusion coefficient is lower than that without considering the nanoconfining effect. The difference between the two curves is larger at low CO2 mole fractions, and gradually decreases as the CO2 mole fraction increases. When the CO2 mole fraction approaches 90%, the two curves almost overlap. Figure 4It can be seen that with the increase of CO2 mole fraction, the diffusion coefficient of C5C6 also presents a downward trend as a whole. In the low CO2 mole fraction region (<10%), the diffusion coefficient without considering the nano-confinement effect is higher than that considering the nano-confinement effect; in the medium CO2 mole fraction region (about 50%), the two curves cross, indicating that the influence of the nano-confinement effect changes; in the high CO2 mole fraction region (>60%), the diffusion coefficient considering the nano-confinement effect is higher than that without considering the nano-confinement effect, especially when the CO2 mole fraction is close to 90%, the curve considering the nano-confinement effect appears a slight upward trend.
[0144] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The common embodiment is that the diffusion coefficient of CO2 is higher than that of C5C6 as a whole, which conforms to the general rule that the diffusion ability of light components is stronger than that of heavy components. The nano-confinement effect has significant differences on the two components: for CO2, the nano-confinement effect mainly reduces its diffusion coefficient; for C5C6, the nano-confinement effect reduces the diffusion coefficient at low CO2 content, and increases the diffusion coefficient at high CO2 content. This difference may be related to the changes of intermolecular interaction and phase behavior of each component under nano-confinement conditions, indicating that the influence of nano-confinement effect on different components is nonlinear and differentiated. For CO2 flooding / oil / gas process, these results mean that in the high CO2 content region, the nano-confinement effect is beneficial to the diffusion transmission of heavy components, but not conducive to the diffusion of CO2 itself, which has a complex impact on the displacement efficiency.
[0145] Figure 5 The common embodiment is that the diffusion coefficient of CO2 is higher than that of C5C6 as a whole, which conforms to the general rule that the diffusion ability of light components is stronger than that of heavy components. The nano-confinement effect has significant differences on the two components: for CO2, the nano-confinement effect mainly reduces its diffusion coefficient; for C5C6, the nano-confinement effect reduces the diffusion coefficient at low CO2 content, and increases the diffusion coefficient at high CO2 content. This difference may be related to the changes of intermolecular interaction and phase behavior of each component under nano-confinement conditions, indicating that the influence of nano-confinement effect on different components is nonlinear and differentiated. For CO2 flooding / oil / gas process, these results mean that in the high CO2 content region, the nano-confinement effect is beneficial to the diffusion transmission of heavy components, but not conducive to the diffusion of CO2 itself, which has a complex impact on the displacement efficiency.
[0146] Figure 6It is embodied that in the consideration of nano confinement effect, in the low CO2 mole fraction region (<30%), the diffusion coefficient slightly rises, reaches the peak at 30%, and then rapidly decreases with the increase of CO2 mole fraction. Without considering the nano confinement effect, the overall trend is relatively flat, and the decline rate accelerates in the high CO2 mole fraction region. The difference between the two curves is the largest in the low CO2 mole fraction region, and is significantly higher when considering the nano confinement effect. With the increase of CO2 mole fraction, the difference gradually decreases, and at 80% CO2 mole fraction, the two curves are close to overlap.
[0147] Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen from the comparative analysis that the influence of nano confinement effect on the diffusion coefficient in the liquid phase is more significant than in the gas phase. In the liquid phase, the diffusion coefficient considering the nano confinement effect is nearly twice as high as that without considering the nano confinement effect in the low CO2 mole fraction region, which indicates that the nano confinement effect may promote molecular diffusion in the liquid phase. The diffusion behavior of CO2 and C5C6 in the liquid phase is similar, both showing a trend of first stable / rising and then sharply decreasing when considering the nano confinement effect, and a relatively flat downward trend when not considering the nano confinement effect. The diffusion coefficients of the two components are of similar order of magnitude, indicating that the influence of molecular weight difference on the diffusion coefficient is weakened in the liquid phase. C5C6 shows a peak in the diffusion coefficient at 30% when considering the nano confinement effect, which may be related to the solvation effect or microfluid structure change caused by the increase of CO2 content.
[0148] Figure 7 The diffusion coefficient curves of 8 different components in the gas phase are shown. It can be observed that light components (such as C1 methane) have higher diffusion coefficients, while heavy components (such as C 22 C 80 ) have lower diffusion coefficients. At 1000 psia, the diffusion coefficient of C1 is almost an order of magnitude higher than that of the heaviest component C 22 C 80 With the increase of pressure, the diffusion coefficients of all components show a downward trend, and the difference between light and heavy components gradually narrows.
[0149] Figure 8 The diffusion coefficient curves of 8 components in the liquid phase are shown. It can be observed that the diffusion coefficient in the liquid phase is about two orders of magnitude smaller than in the gas phase. In the liquid phase, the trend of diffusion coefficient change with pressure is different from that in the gas phase, they slightly decrease with pressure, which is contrary to the case of shale gas. When reaching the bubble point pressure (2860 psia), the diffusion coefficient shows an almost linear downward relationship with pressure, and the difference in diffusion coefficient between different components still exists in the liquid phase.
[0150] Therefore, the application adopts the above diffusion coefficient calculation method considering nano confinement effect, and can accurately describe the molecular diffusion phenomenon in the dense reservoir such as shale by correcting the Peng-Robinson state equation and SIGMUND empirical formula to calculate the diffusion coefficient, and improve the prediction accuracy of gas injection stimulation and recovery factor.
