Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of core experimental analysis, and in particular relates to a method and a system for simultaneously measuring gas production characteristics of gases in different occurrence states in reservoir cores. Background Art
[0002] The National Energy Administration's "China Natural Gas Development Report (2021)" shows that tight gas reservoirs have gradually become the main contributors to my country's new natural gas reserves, and shale gas and coalbed methane are the main representatives of tight gas reservoirs. In this type of gas reservoir, adsorbed gas is the main form of gas, with a content of up to 85%. The development of technologies such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has promoted the industrial development of tight gas reservoirs, but production gas wells generally show the characteristics of "high initial production and rapid decline in the later period". In order to explore the internal mechanism of the decline in production output of shale / coalbed methane reservoirs and provide basic support for innovative technologies, it is urgent to establish an experimental method that simulates the gas production characteristics of gas wells under real formation conditions, reveal the main sources of production in different production stages and the law of declining production capacity, and provide data support for correcting and improving the development theory of tight gas reservoirs and improving production measures. The occurrence state of gas in tight gas reservoirs includes adsorbed gas, pore-bound gas and free gas. The desorption rate test of adsorbed gas includes on-site desorption method and isothermal adsorption method. The former has the problem of long desorption time and difficult calculation of lost gas volume, and the result has a certain deviation from the actual value. The isothermal adsorption measurement results are often larger than the actual gas content of the reservoir, and are mostly used to evaluate the adsorption capacity of the reservoir, but less used to evaluate the gas content; the gas production characteristics test method of pore-bound gas and free gas has not yet appeared in the literature. In short, a method for simultaneously measuring the gas production characteristics of gases in different occurrence states in reservoir cores has not yet been established. Summary of the invention
