Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petroleum exploration, and in particular to a method and device for predicting the effect of bio-nano oil displacement technology. Background Art

[0002] After primary, secondary, and even tertiary oil recovery, the recovery rate of medium- and high-permeability old oil fields has reached 40%-60%, but more than 40% of crude oil is still unused. New oil resources are mainly low-permeability reservoirs, and about 30% of reservoirs cannot be injected with water. Conventional EOR technology is to solve the problems of water drive crossflow and oil washing efficiency in the affected area of ​​water drive, which is basically ineffective for low-permeability reservoirs that "cannot be injected or produced". Due to the problems of traditional EOR technology, some researchers in the field of oil extraction have turned their attention to nanomaterials. Nanoparticles provide a new way to solve unresolved challenges. Compared with gas drive, water drive and chemical drive used in traditional EOR processes, nanoparticles are injected into the ground as a medium, showing some unusual advantages.

[0003] Nanoparticles have a small particle size. One of the problems with polymer chemical flooding is that injecting polymers into the reservoir can easily lead to formation pore blockage, which reduces formation permeability and increases water injection and injection costs. Commonly used nanoparticles, such as SiO 2 , TiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 , with a diameter of approximately 1nm-100nm, which is much smaller than the reservoir pore size. Therefore, nanoparticles can easily flow through porous media and will not cause a decrease in formation permeability, which increases the effectiveness of nanofluid flooding to enhance oil recovery. Also due to the ultra-small size of nanoparticles, they can reach some tiny gaps that traditional displacement media cannot enter. Therefore, nanoparticles can affect more areas and increase macroscopic sweep efficiency. However, there is currently no effective method to characterize the distribution of remaining oil and the technical mechanism after using bio-nano flooding technology in low-permeability reservoirs.

[0067] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to enable the scope of the present invention to be fully communicated to those skilled in the art.

[0068] First, it should be noted that "bio-nanoparticles", "bio-nanofluids" and "bio-nano oil-displacing agents" have the same meaning in the present invention and have the meanings commonly understood in the art and can be used interchangeably in the present invention.

[0069] Bio-nano oil recovery technology is a new type of oil recovery technology that has emerged in recent years. Its characteristics can be summarized as "biological profile control and nano oil recovery". Specifically, bio-nano oil recovery technology has the following advantages:

[0070] Environmentally friendly: good biodegradability, microbial COD and ammonia nitrogen degradation rates are both around 95%;

[0071] Improve sweep efficiency: Improve the seepage law of low-permeability reservoir fluids, improve self-dispersion performance, and make water drive sweep to medium and low permeability layers with low production degree;

[0072] Improve oil washing efficiency: the oil washing efficiency can reach more than 70%, the viscosity reduction rate can reach more than 90%, and it has a good oil-rock stripping effect;

[0073] Neutral wetting: Wetting reversal makes it difficult for oil droplets to be adsorbed by rocks, which is conducive to oil-rock stripping and reduces the flow resistance of crude oil;

[0074] Reduce interfacial tension: effectively miscible with crude oil, the contact angle can reach as low as 14.3°, and the interfacial tension can be reduced to 10 -3 level;

[0075] Establish an effective displacement relationship: reduce the capillary resistance caused by nano / micron pore throats, reduce the water injection start-up pressure gradient, and the nanosystem generates microscopic osmotic pressure to establish an effective displacement relationship.

[0076] In view of the above advantages of bio-nano oil recovery technology, the industry urgently needs a prediction method that can effectively characterize the effect of bio-nano oil recovery technology.

[0077] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for predicting the effect of bio-nano oil recovery technology, which can effectively predict the effect of bio-nano oil recovery technology in reservoirs, and is particularly suitable for effectively predicting the effect of bio-nano oil recovery technology in low-permeability reservoirs.

Of course, those skilled in the art can also take other data as needed to complete the construction of the three-dimensional geological model of the target area, which will not be elaborated here.

[0084] The present invention does not limit the specific method of constructing the three-dimensional geological model. For example, tNavigator can be used to construct the three-dimensional geological model. The specific construction method can refer to the relevant solutions in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0088] According to the results of indoor physical model experiments, the keywords ENDSCALE, ENPTPC, SOWCR, TRMMULTC, TRMMULTT, WTRACER, ACTIONW, ARITHMETIC, ENDACTIO and WBHZONE can be obtained.

[0089] ENDSCALE and ENPTPC represent the end point calibration of phase permeability.

[0090] SOWCR represents the relationship between the concentration of bio-nanoparticles and the residual oil saturation in the phase permeability curve. It is calculated by formula (1) that the concentration of nanoparticles dissolved in the injected water in the pore space of the formation at time dt is:

[0091]

[0092] Where δ is the concentration of bio-nanoparticles, in %; V is the volume of bio-nanoparticles, in m 3 ; g is the coefficient affected by the physical properties of the formation, ranging from 0 to 1; r p is the radius of the bio-nanoparticles reaching the formation, in m; h is the formation thickness, in m; is the density of bionanoparticles, in g / cm 3 ; S or is the residual oil saturation of the formation, in %.

[0093] TRMMULTC represents the relationship between the bionanoparticle concentration and the relative permeability of the oil phase, which is calculated by formula (2):

[0094]

[0095] Among them, K r is the relative permeability of the oil phase, in %; b is a coefficient determined by the lithology of the reservoir rock, ranging from 1 to 10; f is a coefficient related to the diffusion rate of the bio-nanoparticle system, ranging from 0 to 1; δ is the concentration of bio-nanoparticles, in %.

[0105] The adsorption reaction formula of biological nanoparticles is:

[0106]

[0107]

[0108] Wherein, k is the reaction rate constant, ranging from 1 to 10.

[0109] The above-mentioned biological nanoparticle diffusion reaction formula and biological nanoparticle adsorption reaction formula can be directly written into the production parameter file.

[0110] The main mechanism of the bio-nano oil displacement technology characterization numerical model of the present invention is:

[0111] (1) Diffusion of bio-nanoparticles: injected bio-nanoparticles react to generate particles of different sizes that diffuse into the pores of the rock, that is, the diffusion reaction formula of bio-nanoparticles is used to characterize the diffusion.

[0112] (2) Bio-nanoparticle adsorption: Assuming there are rock A and rock B, the adsorption on the pore wall is described by the Langmuir isotherm adsorption option, that is, the above-mentioned bio-nanoparticle adsorption reaction equation is used to characterize it.

[0113] The present invention can use existing known software to construct a numerical model, for example, tNavigator can be used. In addition to the above content, other contents involved in the construction process can refer to the relevant solutions of the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0114] In another optional implementation, step S3 further includes:

[0115] Step S31: Perform orthogonal design to obtain different implementation plans of bio-nano oil recovery technology. When performing orthogonal design, injection rounds, injection concentration, injection volume, injection speed, and injection time are mainly considered.

[0116] Step S32: For different implementation plans designed in step S31, the numerical model constructed in step S2 is used to predict the oil increase results of different implementation plans.

[0117] Step S33: Compare the oil increase results of different implementation plans to obtain the optimal solution.

[0118] In another optional embodiment, in step S4, the effect of the bio-nano oil recovery technology is predicted and its mechanism is characterized. Specifically, the numerical model constructed by the present invention is used to predict the oil saturation, and the residual oil distribution diagram before and after the simulated bio-nano oil recovery is obtained, and the mechanism of the bio-nano oil recovery technology is finely characterized.

[0119] It should be noted that in the present invention, the purpose of numbering each step is only to clearly indicate each step, rather than to limit the order of each step. Those skilled in the art can determine the order of implementation of each step based on the common technical knowledge in the field and the description of this specification.

[0153] Process parameter simulation optimization and construction of process parameter optimization chart

[0154] On the basis of constructing the numerical model, tNavigator software was run to simulate and optimize the process parameters and establish the process parameter optimization chart. According to the orthogonal design, different schemes were obtained. Combined with the established numerical model, the oil increase under different schemes was simulated and predicted. The results of different process schemes are shown in Table 2. The bio-nanofluid was injected for 4 rounds, with an injection concentration of 0.4%, an injection of 0.9 PV, and an injection speed of 160 m 3 / d, the process plan with injection time of 30 days, simulation time of 2 years, the oil increase of the well group is 31528.9m 3 (i.e. Case 19), compared with other solutions, the input-output ratio is the best and it is the optimal solution, see Figures 9 to 13 .in, Fig. 9 The effect of injection rounds of the bionano oil displacement agent on the cumulative oil production in Example 1 of the present invention is shown.

[0157] Effect prediction and mechanism characterization

[0158] Based on the optimal solution, Case 19, tNavigator software was used to predict oil saturation and characterize the mechanism. The remaining oil distribution diagram before and after the simulated bio-nano flooding was obtained. Figure 14 to Figure 16 ,in, Fig.14 This is the comparison of the remaining oil distribution before and after bio-nano flooding in low permeability reservoirs; Fig.15 This is the comparison of the remaining oil distribution before and after bionano flooding in medium permeability reservoirs; Fig.16 This is the distribution diagram of residual oil before and after bio-nano flooding in high permeability reservoirs. Two conclusions can be drawn: 1) The technical means of bio-nano flooding can greatly increase the sweep range of bio-nano fluids to medium and low permeability reservoirs, and give full play to the flooding effect of bio-nano fluids; 2) When the reservoir permeability is low permeability, the sweep coefficient increases by 14.7%, and the average recovery rate increases by 14.5%; when the reservoir permeability is medium permeability, the sweep coefficient increases by 19.3%, and the average recovery rate increases by 13.8%; when the reservoir permeability is high permeability, the sweep coefficient increases by 15.1%, and the average recovery rate increases by 11.9%; bio-nano flooding increases the recovery rate by 13.4% compared with water flooding, and increases the recovery rate by 10% compared with general chemical flooding, showing the high efficiency of the system.

[0159] In addition, the mechanism of bio-nano oil recovery technology is carefully characterized, see Fig.17 It can be seen that: ① The in-situ biological nanoparticles in the formation can be cross-linked to form a temporary plug of a certain strength, so that the subsequent displacement fluid flows to the low permeability / deep formation; ② The dewetting effect of the biological nanoparticles (wedge cone) reduces the oil-rock structure separation pressure and promotes crude oil stripping; the biological nanoparticles form a stable structure at the oil-water interface, and the oil and water are self-emulsified and dispersed in the formation in the state of Pickering emulsion, which improves the fluidity of crude oil.
