TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field development engineering, and particularly relates to a nano-bubble fluttering oil displacement method and system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Water flooding is still the main way of crude oil development. After long-term water injection development, most oil reservoirs have entered the high water cut or even ultra-high water cut stage. However, long-term water flooding development leads to the formation of numerous dominant channels in the reservoir, and the remaining oil shows the distribution characteristics of "high dispersion and local enrichment". It is difficult to drive with conventional water flooding, and the problem of ineffective circulation is prominent. In the existing enhanced oil recovery technology, foam flooding and micro-bubble flooding can increase the percolation resistance and expand the swept volume through the "Jamin effect", thereby improving the oil recovery. However, the stability is restricted by high temperature and high salt formation conditions, and water-gas separation easily occurs during migration in porous media, resulting in "channeling" phenomenon. At the same time, due to the size limitation, it is difficult to enter the small pores, and the remaining oil stored therein cannot be effectively produced.
[0003] The existing Chinese patent: a method for improving oil recovery, application number: 202310240731.2, application date: March 14, 2023, the method comprises the following steps: determining the size of micro-nano bubbles and the volume percentage of micro-nano bubbles in the first injection fluid according to the formation characteristics, and then preparing the first injection fluid containing micro-nano bubbles; injecting the first injection fluid containing micro-nano bubbles into the formation to carry out displacement operation.
[0004] The existing Chinese patent: a water-gas dispersion system oil displacement system and method, application number: 201811031150.3, application date: March 9, 2021, the system comprises a micro-bubble generating device, a gas source, an ultrasonic oscillation controller, a protection cylinder, and a support; a first opening is formed at the top end of the protection cylinder for the internal device to enter and exit, and the first opening is sealed by an end cover; a second opening is formed in the side wall of the protection cylinder and communicates with the water injection pipeline for the entry and exit of fluid; the micro-bubble generating device is fixed in the protection cylinder through the support; the gas source is connected with the micro-bubble generating device through a gas pipeline for supplying gas to the micro-bubble generating device; the ultrasonic oscillation controller is connected with the micro-bubble generating device through a signal line for controlling the micro-bubble generating device to generate micro-bubbles.
[0005] However, the above-mentioned technology has two big problems: first, in high water cut and ultra-high water cut reservoirs, the dominant channels in the reservoir are developed, and the dispersed remaining oil is difficult to produce; second, the application effect of foam flooding and micro-bubble flooding and other technologies is limited due to the limitation of reservoir conditions. Therefore, a new oil displacement method is urgently needed.
[0006] Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the prior art are: the conventional water drive is difficult to operate, the macro displacement efficiency is low, and the micro oil washing efficiency is limited; the foam drive and the micro bubble drive have poor temperature resistance and salt resistance, are prone to gas-liquid separation to cause "channeling", are difficult to effectively drive the remaining oil in the small pores due to size limitation, and have the risk of reservoir damage. SUMMARY
[0007] In view of the problems in the prior art, such as displacement phase channeling along high permeation channels, serious inefficient circulation, limited application effect under high temperature and high salt reservoir conditions, and low remaining oil production efficiency, the present application provides a nano bubble vibration driving oil method and system, and the technical solution is as follows: The present application is implemented in the following manner: a nano bubble vibration driving oil method, which excites the vibration effect of nano bubbles through periodic hydraulic pulse, specifically includes the following steps: S1, parameter acquisition: determining target reservoir parameter, well deployment condition and development dynamic; S2, preparing nano bubbles according to target reservoir conditions: determining nano bubble preparation environment pressure, nano bubble preparation pressure difference according to target reservoir temperature and pressure conditions, and completing nano bubble preparation; S3, nano bubble performance evaluation: calculating nano bubble adsorption loss, determining the minimum concentration value under different particle sizes, and establishing a particle size-concentration-adsorption loss evaluation chart; determining whether the nano bubble particle size, concentration and stability meet the expected performance requirements; if not, adjusting the nano bubble preparation pressure difference; S4, pulse injection parameter optimization: based on the starting pressure gradient of the target reservoir, the injection reference pressure, pulse amplitude and frequency of the periodic hydraulic pulse are determined through numerical simulation optimization; S5, pulse oil displacement and optimization: performing nano bubble field injection with the optimized pulse injection parameters, and when the water cut rises to 98%, triggering iterative optimization of the nano bubble properties and pulse injection parameters.
[0008] In step S1, the target reservoir parameter includes: target reservoir porosity, permeability, temperature, salinity, formation pressure, formation fracture pressure, crude oil viscosity and crude oil density.
[0009] In step S2, the nano bubbles are prepared by converting gas into nano bubbles existing in water through membrane dispersion.
[0010] Further, the nano bubble preparation environment pressure is equal to the target reservoir pressure.
[0011] In step S3, the particle size-concentration-adsorption loss evaluation chart is established, including: High-resolution CT scanning equipment was used to scan the core samples and SPG membrane of the target reservoir, extracting their respective pore distribution curves and obtaining the median pore diameter of the core samples. Porosity ,density Compared with macroscopic pore specific surface area and the median pore diameter of the SPG membrane Among them, the macroscopic pore size is greater than 200 nm; Median pore diameter of SPG membrane As the lower limit of the average particle size of nanobubbles The median pore diameter of the SPG membrane As the upper limit of the average particle size of nanobubbles Within the upper and lower limit range, eight values were selected logarithmically to represent the average particle size of the nanobubbles. Five injection concentrations were set for each target particle size. They are respectively: , , , , Nanobubbles with different average particle sizes and concentrations were prepared.
[0012] Furthermore, the nanobubble particle size, concentration, and stability were determined to meet the expected performance requirements. This included conducting single-core nanobubble injection experiments with an injection volume of 10 PV. Samples were taken every 0.1 PV in the PV range of 0-3 PV, every 0.2 PV in the PV range of 3-6 PV, and every 0.5 PV in the PV range of 6-10 PV, to obtain the nanobubble concentration in the produced fluid at different injection volumes. Calculate the adsorption loss of nanobubble concentration for different injection volumes in each experimental group. ; ; In the formula, The concentration of nanobubbles before injection. The concentration of nanobubbles in the extracted fluid; Plotting the injection volume on the x-axis and adsorption loss on the y-axis, curves showing the relationship between the injection volume and adsorption loss for various average particle sizes and concentrations were generated. If the adsorption loss gradually decreases below 5% with increasing injection volume, then the concentration at that particle size meets the requirements for nanobubble vibration-driven oil displacement. If the adsorption loss consistently exceeds 5%, then the concentration at that particle size does not meet the requirements for nanobubble vibration-driven oil displacement. This process allows for the determination of the minimum concentration values required to satisfy nanobubble vibration-driven oil displacement for different particle sizes. Establish a particle size-concentration-adsorption loss evaluation chart.
[0013] Determining the average particle size of nanobubbles and concentration average particle size satisfy ,concentration Based on the particle size-concentration-adsorption loss evaluation chart, it meets the requirements. ; The nanobubbles were aged for 24 hours under the target reservoir, temperature, and salinity conditions. The concentration and particle size of the nanobubbles were measured again, and the nanobubble stability factor was calculated. The expression is: ; In the formula, Factors affecting the concentration change of nanobubbles Factors affecting the variation of nanobubble particle size This represents the concentration of nanobubbles after aging. The average particle size of the nanobubbles after aging.
[0014] In step S4, the injection reference pressure, pulse amplitude, and frequency of the periodic hydraulic pulse are determined, including: The initiation pressure gradient of the target reservoir was obtained based on core displacement experiments. A numerical simulation model of the reservoir was established based on real geological parameters; different injection reference pressures were set. Pulse amplitude and frequency Orthogonal experiments were conducted, and the selection of the injection reference pressure and pulse amplitude satisfied the following formula: ; In the formula, For formation fracture pressure, The original formation pressure, To initiate pressure; The statistical maximum pressure gradient is greater than Number of grids Number of grids with pressure fluctuations and the total number of grids for the target reservoir Calculate the pressure-pulse spread coefficient of nanobubble vibration-driven oil. The expression is: ; In the formula, For pressure expansion weighting coefficients, This is the pulse spread factor; Pressure-pulse spread coefficient of nanobubble vibration-driven oil Maximum injection reference pressure Pulse amplitude and frequency As actual production injection parameters.
[0015] In step S5, iterative optimization of the properties of the nanobubbles and the pulse injection parameters is triggered, including: exciting the nanobubbles to vibrate by using the hydraulic pulse, and using a periodic nanobubble high-low pressure alternating injection mode: in the high pressure injection stage, the injection pressure is , the injection time is , in the low pressure injection stage, the injection pressure is , and the injection time is .
[0016] Another object of the present application is to provide a nanobubble vibration oil displacement system, which is realized by the nanobubble vibration oil displacement method, and the system comprises: A parameter acquisition module is configured to determine target reservoir parameters, well deployment conditions and development dynamics. A nanobubble preparation module is configured to prepare nanobubbles according to target reservoir conditions: according to the target reservoir temperature and pressure conditions, the nanobubble preparation environment pressure and the nanobubble preparation pressure difference are determined, and the preparation of the nanobubbles is completed. A performance evaluation module is configured to calculate the adsorption loss of the nanobubbles, determine the minimum concentration value under different particle sizes, and establish a particle size-concentration-adsorption loss evaluation chart; whether the particle size, concentration and stability of the nanobubbles meet the expected performance requirements is determined; if not, the nanobubble preparation pressure difference is adjusted.

[0017] In combination with all the technical solutions described above, the present application has the following beneficial effects: Firstly, the present application uses physical means such as membrane dispersion and mechanical shearing to convert gas into nanoscale bubbles existing in water, which has the characteristics of long existence time, strong temperature and salt resistance, large specific surface area, etc., and after being injected into the underground, it is adsorbed on the rock wall surface and the oil-water interface, combined with the pulse injection method, the disturbance of the injected fluid to the remaining oil in the reservoir is enhanced and the sweep is expanded, at the same time, the nanobubble vibration effect is excited, which makes the nanobubbles slip at the interface and accelerate the oil stripping rate of the rock wall surface, thereby improving the oil washing efficiency. This method can effectively improve the development effect of high and ultra-high water cut reservoirs and further improve the oil recovery rate in the late water flooding development.
[0018] Secondly, the application injects gas in the form of nanobubbles into the underground, suppresses "gas channeling", reduces interfacial tension, and improves oil washing efficiency; the pulse injection method is adopted to enhance the disturbance of the injected fluid to the remaining oil in the reservoir and expand the sweep; the nanobubbles are excited by the hydraulic pulse to generate the vibration effect, so that the nanobubbles slip at the interface and the oil stripping rate of the rock wall is accelerated, and the oil recovery is further improved. Based on the interfacial effect generated by the unique physical and chemical properties of the nanobubbles and the dynamic effect generated by the intermittent pulse injection of the external fluid, the oil displacement efficiency is synergistically enhanced, the oil washing effect of the reservoir is significantly improved, and the theoretical basis and technical support can be provided for the field application of the technology.
[0019] Thirdly, the application excites the vibration effect of the nanobubbles by the hydraulic pulse to form the nanobubble vibration oil displacement technology, which can effectively improve the oil recovery of the high water cut reservoir. The indoor physical simulation experiment results show that the recovery rate can be increased by more than 10% in the block with a water content of more than 90%; compared with the conventional chemical flooding technology, the operation cost of the technology is significantly reduced, and there is no risk of chemical residue and formation damage, so the technology has a wide application prospect in the development, quality improvement and efficiency improvement of high water cut oilfields. The application first combines the interface regulation and the seepage field regulation of the nanobubbles with the vibration effect excited by the hydraulic pulse to propose a new method of nanobubble vibration oil displacement, so as to synergistically expand the swept volume and improve the oil washing efficiency, and effectively improve the recovery of the high water cut reservoir.
[0020] Fourthly, in view of the development problems of the high water cut reservoir, such as the development of the dominant channel, the dispersion of the remaining oil and the difficulty in effective utilization, and the application effect of the existing technologies such as foam flooding and microbubble flooding is limited due to the restriction of the reservoir conditions, the application proposes to excite the vibration effect of the nanobubbles by the periodic hydraulic pulse, fully play the role of the nanobubbles in the interface regulation and the seepage field regulation, combine the enhanced utilization mechanism of the vibration effect on the remaining oil, expand the swept volume and improve the oil washing efficiency, and realize the effective utilization of the remaining oil in the high water cut reservoir.
