Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present invention generally relate to the technical fields of oil and gas field development and geothermal energy utilization, and more particularly to an underground high-temperature composite fluid heating system. Background Art
[0002] Traditional underground reservoir heating technologies, primarily using steam flooding and hot water flooding, suffer from low thermal efficiency, high energy consumption, and uneven heating. In particular, in areas such as shale oil development, heavy oil thermal recovery, and hot dry rock geothermal extraction, conventional heating methods struggle to meet the demands of high-temperature, high-pressure environments.
[0003] Traditionally, a single heat carrier, such as steam, hot water, or supercritical carbon dioxide, is used to thermally stimulate the reservoir. However, such methods have the following significant drawbacks: 1. Inefficient heat transfer and uneven heating: The physical properties of a single heat carrier, such as specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity, have inherent limitations, resulting in insufficient heat transfer rate and thermal diffusion capacity within the reservoir. Particularly in heterogeneous reservoirs, heat carriers can easily flow through high-permeability zones, causing localized overheating in the heated area while underheating other areas, resulting in a phenomenon known as "thermal fingering." This not only reduces energy utilization but can also lead to reservoir stress imbalances or fracture system failure.
[0004] 2. Lack of dynamic monitoring and control: Existing technologies lack the ability to monitor heat carrier migration paths and reservoir temperature fields in real time, making it impossible to dynamically adjust injection parameters such as flow rate, temperature, and phase state. For example, during steam flooding, continuous injection is often conducted without timely detection of steam breakthrough, resulting in wasted heat energy. In geothermal systems, the inability to precisely control the heat exchange zone can lead to a sudden drop in produced fluid temperature. This "blind injection" model results in energy losses as high as 30%-50%.
[0005] 3. Insufficient synergistic utilization of multiple energy sources: Traditional methods often rely on a single energy source, such as gas-fired boilers for heating, and fail to fully utilize complementary energy sources such as geothermal resources or industrial waste heat. Furthermore, chemical compatibility issues between heat carriers and reservoir rocks / fluids, such as scaling and corrosion, further restrict the long-term stability of the system. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention achieves efficient and uniform heating of underground reservoirs through innovative composite heat carrier design and intelligent control technology, significantly reducing energy consumption while improving energy recovery rate. It has important promotion and application value and solves the difficult problems of low heat conduction efficiency and high energy consumption in the development of deep oil and gas and hot dry rocks.

[0026] It should be noted that although the operations of the system of the present invention are described in a specific order in the above embodiments and drawings, this does not require or imply that these operations must be performed in this specific order, or that all illustrated operations must be performed to achieve the desired results. Additionally or alternatively, certain steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or one step may be broken down into multiple steps.
[0027] In order to explain the above-mentioned underground high-temperature composite fluid heating system more clearly, two specific embodiments are described below. However, it should be noted that the embodiments are only for better illustrating the present invention and do not constitute an improper limitation to the present invention.
[0028] The following two specific examples further illustrate the underground high-temperature composite fluid heating system in more detail: Example 1: The crude oil separation device 1 is used to separate carbon dioxide and associated gas from crude oil and transport the carbon dioxide and associated gas to the catalytic module 2 through the first air intake pipe 18 and the second air intake pipe 19 .
[0029] The crude oil separation device 1 separates carbon dioxide gas and associated gas by membrane separation.
[0030] Catalytic module 2: used for catalytically reacting the received carbon dioxide and associated gas to generate fluid generating fuel, and transporting the fluid generating fuel to the high-temperature fluid generating module 3 through the first gas outlet pipe 20 and the second gas outlet pipe 21.
[0031] The catalytic module 2 catalyzes the carbon dioxide separated from the crude oil and the associated gas to form a fluid generating fuel. In this embodiment, the catalyst used is a mixed solvent of ferric sulfate and chromium oxide.
[0032] High-temperature fluid generation module 3: used to burn the fluid generating fuel through multi-stage heating gradient heating, intelligent pressure control and supercritical mixing technology in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment to produce a composite heat carrier with a temperature of 450°C and a pressure of 25 MPa and heated carbon dioxide, and transport the composite heat carrier and heated carbon dioxide to the injection well network module 4 through the third outlet pipe 22.
[0033] The high-temperature fluid generation module 3 comprises a multi-stage heating unit, a pressure control unit, and a mixing reactor. The multi-stage heating unit utilizes a combination of electric and combustion heating to heat the fluid in multiple stages, generating supercritical water, high-temperature steam, and nanofluid. Specifically, the multi-stage heating comprises a primary electric heating section at 300°C and a secondary combustion heating section at 450°C. The pressure control unit regulates the system fluid pressure at 25 MPa using a multi-stage booster pump and a pressure-stabilizing valve. The mixing reactor mixes 70% supercritical water, 25% high-temperature steam, and 5% nanofluid to form a composite heat carrier, with the mass fraction of the nanofluid being 0.1%.
[0034] Injection well pattern module 4: Used to inject the composite heat carrier and heated carbon dioxide into the target reservoir 5 at a rate of 300m³ / d. Through the fishbone well pattern layout and dynamic control technology, it solves the problems of traditional injection wells such as "uneven injection, low efficiency, and manual dependence".
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the injection well network module 4 in this embodiment includes: a multi-branch horizontal well structure in which the main wellbore and multiple branch wellbores are distributed in a fishbone shape, and an intelligent segmented injection device. The intelligent segmented injection device is connected to the multi-branch horizontal well structure. The intelligent segmented injection device includes an adjustable throttle valve and a temperature compensator to perform differentiated injection in different sections.
[0036] Through the fishbone well network layout and dynamic control technology, the problems of traditional injection wells such as "uneven injection, low efficiency, and manual dependence" are solved.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment, a pressure monitoring device 10 is provided in the injection well pattern module 4 for real-time monitoring of the airflow pressure in the injection well pattern module 4. The pressure monitoring device 10 collects the pressure every 30 minutes.
[0038] Target reservoir 5: used to store composite heat carrier and heated carbon dioxide, equipped with a reservoir heating module 6 and a distributed temperature sensor array 9, and external energy is supplied through the fourth gas outlet pipe 7. The reservoir heating module 6 controls the temperature of the target reservoir 5 and heats the target reservoir 5 and reduces the viscosity of the crude oil, so that the gas in the target reservoir 5 has higher thermal energy, thereby providing clean energy. The distributed temperature sensor array 9 is used to collect the temperature of the target reservoir 5 in real time. The distributed temperature sensor array 9 collects the temperature every 10 minutes.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment, the reservoir heating module 6 utilizes the efficient thermal conductivity of metal oxide nanoparticles and the directional cracking of acidic / metal catalysts, combined with a mass ratio of 1:0.5-1:2, to achieve the dual goals of precise reservoir temperature control and crude oil viscosity reduction and yield increase. In this example, the catalytic components used are a 1.5% concentration of ZSM-5 molecular sieve (a new zeolite molecular sieve containing organic amine cations) and a 1% concentration of nickel-based catalyst, with a mass ratio of thermal conductivity enhancer to catalytic component of 1:0.5.
[0040] Production well 8: used to transport the energized gas to the heat recovery device 13 through the first recovery pipeline 12. It is equipped with a pressure monitoring device 10 for real-time collection and monitoring of the air flow pressure in the production well 8. The pressure monitoring device 10 collects the pressure every 30 minutes.
[0041] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the pressure monitoring device 10, the distributed temperature sensor array 9 and a central controller 11 are wirelessly communicated. Through the global perception of the distributed temperature sensor array 9, the real-time warning of the high-precision pressure monitoring device 10 and the intelligent decision-making of the central controller 11, a "perception-analysis-execution" closed-loop system for reservoir development is constructed. The central controller 11 uses an adaptive control algorithm to optimize the injection parameters in real time according to the analysis results, that is, dynamically adjusts the injection parameters based on the monitoring data.
[0042] As a preferred embodiment, a carbon capture module 17 is installed within the first recovery pipeline 12, comprising a chemical absorption tower and a desorption tower, successfully separating the carbon from other gases and fluids in the solution. A heat recovery device 13 is used to recover waste heat from the produced fluid. This device is connected to a fluid purification device 15 via a second recovery pipeline 14, which processes the recovered fluid.
[0043] The carbon capture module 17 is in a stable operating state. The capture efficiency can reach 85% to 90%. The rich liquid is transported to the desorption tower through a pipeline. In the desorption tower, the waste heat recovered by the heat recovery device 13 is used to heat the rich liquid, so that the temperature of the rich liquid is increased. The desorbed high concentration of C After being compressed, dried and processed, the gas is re-injected into the high-temperature fluid generation module 3 through a dedicated pipeline for recycling. The desorbed lean liquid is pumped back to the absorption tower to continue absorbing C .
[0044] In order to further improve the carbon capture efficiency, a high-efficiency filler is set in the absorption tower to increase the gas-liquid contact area and make the absorption reaction more complete. Among them, the high-efficiency filler includes corrugated plate filler and / or wire mesh filler. At the same time, a monitoring feedback system is set in the absorption tower. The monitoring feedback system monitors the temperature, pressure, liquid level and fluid flow rate and other parameters in the absorption tower and desorption tower in real time. According to these parameters, the system can accurately adjust the operating conditions such as the circulation amount and heating temperature of the absorbent, so as to ensure the stable and efficient operation of the carbon capture module 17. It should be understood that the monitoring feedback system in this embodiment can be easily obtained by those skilled in the art based on the existing technology and will not be elaborated here.
[0045] In practical applications, such as Figure 2 As shown in Figure 1, the carbon capture module 17 shows a significant improvement effect. In shale oil development, the captured C Recycling can increase the displacement efficiency of heat carrier by 15% to 20%. This is due to the added C The volume and pressure of the heat carrier are increased, which can better drive the crude oil to flow to the production well 8. In the hot dry rock geothermal mining, the recycled C As a heat carrier, its heat capacity and fluidity are optimized, which can increase the heat extraction efficiency by another 10% to 15%, thereby transferring heat more efficiently.
[0046] The carbon capture module 17 has important environmental and economic value. On the one hand, it significantly reduces the In oil and gas fields or geothermal mining projects, the annual reduction of C On the other hand, it improves the efficiency of resource utilization and reduces production costs. Reduces dependence on external gas sources, saving on purchase and transportation expenses and save costs.
[0047] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the reuse of carbon dioxide and the sufficiency of thermal energy, a fourth air intake pipe 23 is further provided for inputting carbon dioxide from other sources. At the same time, the fourth air intake pipe 23 is connected to the fluid purification device 15 through the third air intake pipe 16 for receiving the carbon dioxide generated by the fluid purification device 15.
[0048] The fourth air intake pipeline 23 inputs the received carbon dioxide into the vertical well section 24 and then enters the fifth air intake pipeline 26 through the horizontal well section 25. The horizontal well section 25 is set in the underground high-temperature dry hot rock layer. The fifth air intake pipeline 26 inputs carbon dioxide into the target reservoir 5. A built-in heating plate 27 is set in the fifth air intake pipeline 26 to perform secondary heating on the gas in the pipeline. A valve 28 is also provided on the fifth air intake pipeline 26.
[0049] Through the above-mentioned heating system and parameter settings, the shale oil recovery rate is 28.1% and the energy consumption is 20%. The shale oil recovery rate of the existing method of using supercritical carbon dioxide as a single heat carrier to thermally stimulate the reservoir is 5.5% and the energy consumption is 48%. It can be clearly seen that the shale oil recovery rate of the heating system of this embodiment is increased by 22.6% and the energy consumption is reduced by 28%.

In shale oil development, the captured C Recycling can increase the displacement efficiency of heat carrier by 15% to 20%. This is due to the added C The volume and pressure of the heat carrier are increased, which can better drive the crude oil to flow to the production well 8. In the hot dry rock geothermal mining, the recycled C As a heat carrier, its heat capacity and fluidity are optimized, which can increase the heat extraction efficiency by another 10% to 15%, thereby transferring heat more efficiently.

[0069] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the reuse of carbon dioxide and the sufficiency of thermal energy, a fourth air intake pipe 23 is further provided for inputting carbon dioxide from other sources. At the same time, the fourth air intake pipe 23 is connected to the fluid purification device 15 through the third air intake pipe 16 for receiving the carbon dioxide generated by the fluid purification device 15.
[0070] The fourth air intake pipeline 23 inputs the received carbon dioxide into the vertical well section 24 and then enters the fifth air intake pipeline 26 through the horizontal well section 25.
