Evaluation methods, apparatus and equipment for dynamic diffusion of natural hydrogen in rock pores
[0001] This patent application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. CN202410786591.3, filed on June 18, 2024. The disclosure of the earlier application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to the field of oil and gas exploration technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus and equipment for evaluating the dynamic diffusion of natural hydrogen in rock pores. Background Technology
[0003] The gas diffusion coefficient is a physical quantity that describes the rate at which gas molecules diffuse through a unit area per unit time. It measures the ability and rate of gas molecule diffusion and is one of the important parameters describing the gas diffusion process. The gas diffusion coefficient is related to several factors, such as the mass of the gas molecules, temperature, pressure, molecular size, and the properties of the diffusion environment. Generally, the larger the mass of the gas molecules, the smaller the diffusion coefficient; the higher the temperature, the larger the diffusion coefficient; and the higher the pressure, the larger the diffusion coefficient.
[0004] The study of hydrogen diffusion coefficients can deepen our understanding of hydrogen transport and diffusion processes from a kinetic perspective, solve practical problems in future natural hydrogen exploration, and contribute to the study of natural hydrogen enrichment areas. Currently, the most commonly used kinetic models for calculating and evaluating gas diffusion coefficients are those under isothermal and isobaric conditions. The variation of gas diffusion coefficients is evaluated by establishing experimental conditions under different temperatures and pressures.
[0005] However, based on data obtained from existing experimental methods, the constructed gas diffusion coefficient model has many errors in quantitatively evaluating the dynamic diffusion process of natural hydrogen, and cannot accurately quantitatively evaluate the diffusion process of natural hydrogen.

[0051] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this application. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods have been omitted so as not to obscure the description of this application with unnecessary detail.
[0052] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0053] The migration of natural hydrogen in the geological environment is a random diffusion process, the intensity of which is influenced by the coupling effects of temperature, pressure, and reservoir medium in the underground environment. Although existing studies have measured the hydrogen infiltration concentration in shallow soil within the "fairy circle," the diffusion capacity of natural hydrogen changes significantly during its migration from deeper layers. Therefore, methods for quantitatively evaluating the dynamic diffusion of natural hydrogen in deeper layers, limited to the "fairy circle," cannot comprehensively and accurately characterize the amount of natural hydrogen lost. While there are numerous studies and experiments on the diffusion coefficient, they cannot accurately reproduce the dynamic changes in the diffusion coefficient during the natural hydrogen diffusion process, and the mathematical relationship between the diffusion coefficient (a parameter measuring gas mobility) and the amount of natural hydrogen lost is not properly understood. Therefore, a comprehensive and accurate evaluation index for the quantitative assessment of the dynamic diffusion of natural hydrogen has not been proposed, failing to meet most of the evaluation needs for future natural hydrogen exploration and development.
[0054] To address the problems of the prior art, embodiments of this application provide a method, apparatus, and device for evaluating the dynamic diffusion of natural hydrogen in rock pores. The method for evaluating the dynamic diffusion of natural hydrogen in rock pores provided in this application embodiment will be described first below.
[0055] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, which respectively illustrate the implementation flowchart and flow chart of the evaluation method for dynamic diffusion of natural hydrogen in rock pores provided in the embodiments of this application, detailed below:
[0056] S110. Perform hydrogen adsorption simulation calculations based on a pre-constructed pore model of the rock to be evaluated under target pressure and target temperature to determine the average number of hydrogen molecules adsorbed in the pores when hydrogen is saturated at the target temperature and pressure. Target temperature and pressure are abbreviations for target temperature and target pressure.
[0057] In this embodiment, it is necessary to first construct a pore model of the rock to be evaluated, and then perform molecular dynamics calculations based on the pore model at different target temperatures and target pressures.
[0058] In some embodiments, the pore model of the rock to be evaluated can be determined based on the core sample of the target layer. The specific process for determination is as follows:
[0059] As shown in Figure 2, the full pore size distribution and pore throat diameter distribution of the rock to be evaluated can be determined first, based on the target test data, such as scanning electron microscopy, high-pressure pump, and carbon dioxide / nitrogen adsorption test data. Figure 3I shows the full pore size distribution of three different rock cores, and Figure 3II shows the pore throat diameter distribution of three different rock cores. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is widely used in microscopic studies in life sciences, physics, chemistry, earth sciences, and materials science. In earth sciences, it includes crystallography, mineralogy, ore deposit geology, sedimentology, astrogeology, petroleum geology, engineering geology, and structural geology. High-pressure pump is a high-pressure pump.
[0060] Then, based on the full pore size distribution, pore throat diameter distribution, and mineral composition of the rock to be evaluated obtained above, a pore model of the rock to be evaluated is constructed. Figure 3 shows the pore models of three different rocks constructed (III).
[0061] Based on the constructed pore model of the rock to be evaluated, hydrogen adsorption simulation calculations were performed at target pressure and temperature. The adsorption simulation simulated the adsorption of hydrogen molecules within the pore model by varying the number of hydrogen molecules in the model. Specifically, hydrogen molecules were randomly created or deleted at arbitrary positions within the pore model to maintain the input temperature and pressure conditions until the pore model reached equilibrium with hydrogen saturation, at which point the total energy within the system was at its lowest. This determined the average number of hydrogen molecules adsorbed within the pores at the target temperature and pressure for hydrogen saturation.
[0062] S120. Based on the lithological parameters of the rock to be evaluated, the average number of hydrogen molecules adsorbed in the pores under the target temperature and pressure, the target pressure, and the target temperature, determine the content of natural hydrogen in the rock pores.
[0063] The content of naturally occurring hydrogen in rock pores is affected by many factors such as temperature, pressure, and pore type. Therefore, accurately determining the content of naturally occurring hydrogen in rock pores is necessary when evaluating the diffusion of naturally occurring hydrogen. The specific determination process is as follows:
[0064] By inputting lithological parameters, the average number of hydrogen molecules adsorbed in the pores under the target temperature and pressure, the target pressure, and the target temperature into a pre-constructed ideal model for predicting the content of natural hydrogen, the content of natural hydrogen in the rock pores is obtained.
[0065] Lithological parameters may include the pore diameter, pore type influence coefficient, and pore specific surface area of the rock to be evaluated.
[0066] The ideal model for predicting natural hydrogen content is a linear relationship between the hydrogen content in pores and influencing factors, specifically:
[0067] Ideal model for predicting natural hydrogen content V 1H2 for:
[0068] ;
[0069] Among them, K i Let be the influence coefficient of the i-th rock pore type, n be the total number of rock pore type influence coefficients, T be the formation temperature, P be the formation pressure, D be the pore diameter, S be the pore specific surface area, and V be the pore diameter. m N is the gas volume under standard conditions, and N is the number of hydrogen molecules. A Let be Avogadro's constant, and a, b, c, and d be the fitting constants obtained based on the training samples.
[0070] It should be noted that if the rock being evaluated is a single type of rock, there is only one rock pore type influence coefficient. However, if the rock being evaluated is a pieced-together rock, that is, two different types of rock, there are two different rock pore type influence coefficients.
[0071] a, b, c, and d were determined by fitting historical simulation experimental data and collected data, that is, by fitting data from a large number of training samples.
[0072] For pieced-together rocks, the content of natural hydrogen in the rock pores is:
[0073] .
[0074] S130. Add a preset gas to the pore model, and when the pore model is saturated at the target pressure and target temperature, determine the loss content of natural hydrogen and the diffusion coefficient of natural hydrogen.
[0075] Natural hydrogen gas remains the primary measurement target, and a preset gas is added to the pore model. This preset gas can be methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium, etc. When the pore model saturates at the target pressure and temperature, the number of hydrogen molecules diffusing out of the pores needs to be determined first.
[0076] The method for calculating the number of hydrogen molecules diffusing out of the pores is also based on adsorption simulation calculations. This involves changing the number of hydrogen molecules in the pore model to simulate their adsorption. Specifically, hydrogen molecules are randomly created or deleted at arbitrary positions within the pore model to maintain the input temperature and pressure conditions during the simulation, until the pore model reaches equilibrium with hydrogen saturation. At equilibrium, the total energy within the system is at its lowest. This determines the number of hydrogen molecules adsorbed in the pores after adding a preset gas at the target temperature and pressure. The difference between the average number of hydrogen molecules adsorbed in the pores when hydrogen is saturated at the target temperature and pressure and the number of hydrogen molecules adsorbed in the pores after adding the preset gas at the target temperature and pressure can be used to determine the number of hydrogen molecules diffusing out of the pores.
[0077] Once the number of hydrogen molecules diffusing out of the pores is determined, the loss of natural hydrogen can be determined based on the number of hydrogen molecules diffusing out of the pores and a preset hydrogen loss model.
[0078] The preset hydrogen loss model is determined based on the number of hydrogen molecules diffusing out of the pores and the gas volume under standard conditions.
[0079] In some embodiments, a preset hydrogen loss model is used. for:
[0080] ;
[0081] Among them, V m The volume of gas under standard conditions is 22.4 mol·L⁻¹. -1 N is the number of hydrogen molecules that diffuse out of the pores. A is Avogadro's constant.
[0082] The diffusion coefficient of natural hydrogen is determined based on a pre-defined diffusion coefficient correction model.
[0083] Among them, the diffusion coefficient correction model DT H2 for:
[0084] ;
[0085] Among them, K i Let denoted as the influence coefficient of the i-th rock pore type, n be the total number of rock pore type influence coefficients, T be the formation temperature, P be the formation pressure, D be the pore diameter, and R be the pore throat diameter of the rock to be evaluated. DT j Let be the diffusion coefficient of any preset gas in the pore, m be the number of preset gas types, and h, r, k, e, and x be the fitting constants obtained based on the training samples.
[0086] It should be noted that if the rock being evaluated is a single type of rock, there is only one rock pore type influence coefficient. However, if the rock being evaluated is a pieced-together rock, that is, two different types of rock, there are two different rock pore type influence coefficients.
[0087] h, r, k, e, and x are also determined by fitting historical simulation experimental data and collected data, that is, by fitting from a large number of training samples.
[0088] In some embodiments, the diffusion coefficient DT of any predetermined gas in the pores j The process of determining is as follows:
[0089] Molecular dynamics simulations were performed on a pore model of saturated hydrogen gas based on actual underground temperature and pressure conditions. The molecular dynamics simulations were based on Newton's laws of mechanics.
[0090] F = ma = dp / dt;
[0091] Where m is the mass of the particle; a = d 2 r / dt 2 F is the particle's acceleration; F is the force applied to the particle; and p is the particle's momentum.
[0092] By integrating the above equation over time, the velocity and position of the particle after time t are predicted, thus obtaining the particle's potential energy after time t. Then, the stress state and acceleration of the particle are calculated using the equation. Repeating the above process yields the dynamic information of the particles in the system at different time steps (such as mean squared displacement (MSD)). Therefore, the mean squared displacement (MSD) of any preset gas during diffusion can be directly obtained from molecular dynamics calculations. A mean squared displacement-time function relationship graph can be established, and according to Einstein's energy equation, 1 / 6 of the slope of the mean squared displacement-time function relationship graph is taken as the diffusion coefficient DTothers of any gas.
[0093] ;
[0094] Where MSD is the mean square displacement of any gas during the diffusion process; t is time.
[0095] The diffusion coefficient DT for each preset gas can be determined using the above process. j .
[0096] S140. Based on the content of natural hydrogen in rock pores, the loss of natural hydrogen, and the diffusion coefficient of natural hydrogen, determine the diffusion evaluation parameters.
[0097] The content of natural hydrogen in the rock pores, the loss of natural hydrogen, and the diffusion coefficient of natural hydrogen are input into a pre-constructed diffusion evaluation model to obtain the diffusion coefficient of natural hydrogen in the pores of the rock to be evaluated.
[0098] The diffusion evaluation model TC is as follows:
[0099] ;
[0100] The diffusion coefficient of natural hydrogen is given. This represents the loss of natural hydrogen. This represents the amount of natural hydrogen gas in the pores of the rock.
[0101] The diffusion dynamics of natural hydrogen are evaluated based on the value of TC, as shown in the table below:
[0102] Quantitative evaluation parameters for natural hydrogen diffusion: TC < 1 = 1 > 1 indicates strong natural hydrogen diffusion and weak dynamic equilibrium.
[0103] As shown in Figure 4, when TC=1, the diffusion coefficient is moderate, and the hydrogen loss content is dynamically balanced with the hydrogen content within the rock pores. When TC<1, the DT... H2 The DT value is relatively large, and the degree of hydrogen diffusion is relatively enhanced. When TC > 1, the DT value is relatively large. H2 The hydrogen loss is relatively small, and the degree of hydrogen diffusion is relatively weak. Alternatively, based on the known natural hydrogen content in any reservoir (field analysis or well logging data), the corresponding reservoir hydrogen loss content can be calculated and predicted using the evaluation parameter TC.
[0104] This application, based on a constructed pore model, reverts to the essence of hydrogen migration as the random diffusion of hydrogen molecules, unaffected by other external characterizations or human factors, resulting in more scientific and objective evaluation results. Furthermore, this application determines diffusion evaluation parameters based on the content of natural hydrogen in rock pores, the loss of natural hydrogen, and the diffusion coefficient of natural hydrogen, achieving a continuous numerical characterization of "initial content - diffusion coefficient - loss content." This aligns with the dynamic accumulation and hydrocarbon reservoir characteristics of natural hydrogen migration under actual geological conditions, possessing practical guiding significance and resulting in more accurate evaluation results.
[0105] The method for evaluating the dynamic diffusion of natural hydrogen in rock pores provided in this application firstly performs hydrogen adsorption simulation calculations based on a pre-constructed pore model of the rock to be evaluated under target pressure and temperature to determine the average number of hydrogen molecules adsorbed in the pores when hydrogen is saturated at the target temperature and pressure. Next, based on the lithological parameters of the rock to be evaluated, the average number of hydrogen molecules adsorbed in the pores under the target temperature and pressure, and the target pressure and temperature, the content of natural hydrogen in the rock pores is determined. Then, a preset gas is added to the pore model, and when the pore model is saturated at the target pressure and temperature, the loss of natural hydrogen is determined, and the diffusion coefficient of natural hydrogen is also determined. Finally, based on the content, loss, and diffusion coefficient of natural hydrogen in the rock pores, diffusion evaluation parameters are determined. By establishing a pore model to perform molecular dynamics simulations under geological conditions, and determining the content, loss, and diffusion coefficient of natural hydrogen in the rock pores based on the established pore model, a quantitative evaluation of the dynamic diffusion of natural hydrogen in rock pores is achieved, and the evaluation results are more accurate.
[0106] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
