Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of natural gas hydrate extraction technology, and in particular to a reservoir constitutive model that takes into account the impact of hydrate extraction. Background Art

[0002] Natural gas hydrate (NGH) is a high-energy-density cage-like crystalline compound formed by natural gas and water molecules under low-temperature and high-pressure conditions. Currently, the main methods for extracting NGH include: thermal activation, depressurization, chemical reagent injection, and CO2 replacement. The first three methods alter the temperature and pressure environment of the NGH reservoir, causing it to no longer meet the hydrate phase equilibrium conditions, thus promoting the decomposition of NGH and the production of CH4 gas. However, this process can significantly reduce the reservoir's resistance to deformation due to hydrate decomposition, posing potential risks of sand production, reservoir subsidence, and submarine landslides. The basic idea of ​​the CO2 replacement method is to utilize the difference in formation and stability conditions between CO2 hydrate and CH4 hydrate, bringing CO2 and CH4 hydrate into contact under suitable temperature and pressure conditions for the replacement reaction. CO2 hydrate is generated simultaneously with the decomposition of CH4 hydrate. This method obtains CH4 while simultaneously sealing CO2 on the seabed, maintaining the reservoir's mechanical stability to a certain extent. This production technology, which utilizes gas exchange reactions, will become an important medium for combining safe natural gas extraction and CO2 sequestration, thereby obtaining energy while mitigating global climate deterioration caused by CO2 emissions.

[0003] Currently, many different constitutive models for natural gas hydrate reservoirs have been established by scholars based on different methods and purposes. However, none of these constitutive models have considered the influence of CO2 replacement. At present, research on CO2 replacement mainly focuses on the kinetic mechanism of the replacement reaction and how to improve the replacement efficiency. Economic considerations play a dominant role. There is little research on the mechanical safety of reservoirs during CO2 replacement mining, especially since a constitutive model that can characterize the stress-strain relationship changes in hydrate reservoirs during CO2 replacement mining has not yet been established.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0046] Example 1: The reservoir constitutive model considering the impact of hydrate exploitation mentioned in this invention is established through the following steps:

[0047] Step 1: Conduct conventional triaxial compression tests on CH4 hydrate-containing sediment samples with initial hydrate saturation of 13%, 25%, and 38% at replacement times of 0 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 20 h, and effective confining pressures of 1 MPa, 2 MPa, and 3 MPa, respectively, to obtain the following results: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The stress-strain curve shown;

[0048] The CO2 displacement experiment and triaxial compression experiment mainly employ, as follows: Figure 2 The low-temperature hydrate triaxial mechanical experimental system shown is used for experiments. It includes subsystems such as a pressure loading system, a gas supply system, a gas collection system, and a temperature control system. The gas injection system includes CH4 cylinder 8, CO2 cylinder 9, N2 cylinder 10, a pressure reducing valve 6, a pressure gauge 7, and rigid pipelines. The gas collection system includes NaOH solution 13 and a drainage gas collection device 14. The temperature control system mainly refers to the low-temperature cold storage 22. This low-temperature hydrate triaxial mechanical experimental system can realize in-situ generation of hydrate-containing sediment samples, CH4-CO2 displacement experiments, and triaxial compression experiments of the samples before and after displacement.

[0049] The triaxial compression experiment was set with a loading rate of 0.25 mm·min. -1 .

[0050] The artificially prepared methane hydrate-containing sediment sample skeleton was fabricated based on the skeleton composition of rock samples collected in a certain area. The sediment mainly consists of clay and silt. In this embodiment, quartz sand particles with a particle size range of 4 μm to 125 μm were selected, and kaolin was used as the cement between the particles. The sample was fabricated according to the actual hydrate skeleton particle size distribution. f A 50×100 mm hydrate sediment sample skeleton.

[0051] After the methane hydrate-containing sediment sample skeleton is prepared, the hydrate is generated in a triaxial pressure chamber using the in-situ generation method: an excess of CH4 gas is introduced to generate methane hydrate with a fixed amount of water in the sample skeleton under low temperature and high pressure conditions.

[0052] The CO2 replacement experiment was conducted under the following temperature and pressure conditions: 278 K, 3 MPa. Under these conditions, CH4 hydrates decomposed while CO2 hydrates remained stable.

[0053] The specific steps of the CO2 replacement experiment described in this embodiment are as follows:

[0054] 1.1 After generating CH4 hydrate according to the experimental preset conditions, the CH4 hydrate-containing sediment sample was kept in a CO2 gas environment with a pressure of 3 MPa by adjusting the pressure reducing valve 6.

[0055] 1.2 Adjust the temperature of the low-temperature cold storage 22 to 278 K and begin displacement experiments for different preset times; after the displacement experiments are completed, conduct triaxial compression experiments.

[0056] 1.3 The temperature of the low-temperature cold storage 22 is raised to room temperature to decompose the remaining CH4 hydrate and generated CO2 hydrate in the hydrate-containing sediment sample. The decomposed gas is then passed into an excess of NaOH solution 13, and the CO2 gas is used to drive away the residual gas in the sample pores and pipelines.

[0057] 1.4 After the NaOH solution 13 reacts with the mixed gas, the CO2 gas is completely absorbed, leaving CH4 gas. The amount of remaining CH4 is calculated by converting the volume of CH4 gas collected by the water displacement gas collection device 14. The initial amount of CH4 can be calculated based on the initial hydrate saturation.

[0058] Step 2: Verify the applicability of the Duncan-Chang model to natural gas hydrate reservoirs under the influence of CO2 replacement based on experimental results;

[0059] The Duncan-Chang expression is as follows:

[0060] (1)

[0061] Equation (1) can also be rewritten in the following two forms:

[0062] (2)

[0063] (3)

[0064] in, It is a deviatoric stress; The strain is axial, determined experimentally. a , b These are experimental parameters that are determined by the properties of the material.

[0065] Step 2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0066] Step 2.1: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The stress-strain curves of the medium sample are all hyperbolic and exhibit strain hardening characteristics, which are similar to the Duncan-Chang model that describes the stress-strain relationship of soil materials. Therefore, a modified Duncan-Chang model can be considered to describe the constitutive relationship of natural gas hydrate reservoirs under the influence of CO2 replacement.

[0067] Step 2.2: Fitting the triaxial experimental data obtained when the initial hydrate saturation was 13% to... ~ Relationship;

[0068] Step 2.3: The results show that, except for extremely small axial strain, and The relationship is linear. This indicates that the stress-strain curves of the hydrate-bearing sediment samples before and after replacement conform to the Duncan-Chang hyperbolic model. The intercept and slope of the fitted straight line segment are the model parameters under the corresponding experimental conditions. a and b Model parameters when the initial hydrate saturation is 13%. a and b The summary is shown in Table 1.

[0069] Table 1 Model Parameters a and b Summary table ( S h =13%)

[0070]

[0071] Step 3: Based on the Duncan-Chang model, and according to the triaxial compression experiment results under different conditions, the eight model parameters of the Duncan-Chang model are corrected using the displacement rate and initial hydrate saturation parameters.

[0072] Furthermore, the replacement rate is defined as follows:

[0073] (4)

[0074] In the formula, or The replacement rate; n 0 represents the initial amount of CH4, in mol; n 1 represents the amount of CH4 remaining after the displacement, in mol.

[0075] Furthermore, step 3 specifically includes the following steps:

[0076] Step 3.1: Using the displacement rate and initial hydrate saturation parameters to determine the tangent modulus E t Make corrections.

[0077] In a single experiment Tangent modulus E t The definition is as follows:

[0078] (5)

[0079] From time to time

[0080] (6)

[0081] According to equation (2) From time to time

[0082] (7)

[0083] in, E i The initial tangent modulus of the stress-strain curve is an experimental parameter. a The reciprocal of; s 1 -s 3 ) ult The limiting deviatoric stress value represented by the asymptote of the stress-strain curve is an experimental parameter. b The reciprocal of; based on the experimental data of the initial hydrate saturation of 13% in this embodiment and the parameters fitted by equations (6) and (7), the parameters are obtained. E i and( s 1 -s 3 ) ult The results are summarized in Table 2.

[0084] Table 2 Parameters E i and( s 1 -s 3 ) ult Summary table ( S h =13%)

[0085]

[0086] In the Duncan-Chang model, the initial tangent modulus E i It can be expressed as a power function of the effective confining pressure:

[0087] (8)

[0088] In the formula, p a =0.1013MPa, representing standard atmospheric pressure; K , n These are model parameters, dimensionless.

[0089] The experimental results of this embodiment show the initial tangent modulus. E i The initial tangent modulus of the Duncan-Chang model increases with increasing effective confining pressure, and also increases with increasing replacement rate under different effective confining pressures. This indicates that the initial tangent modulus of the Duncan-Chang model under the influence of replacement... E i It is unreasonable to consider only the effect of effective confining pressure. Equation (8) should include a correction term representing the effect of the replacement process.

[0090] The fitting obtained according to equation (8) K The value increases with increasing replacement rate. n The value decreases as the substitution rate increases, indicating that in equation (8)... K and n These are two parameters related to the substitution rate. The model parameters are corrected using the substitution rate. K and n They can be represented as:

[0091] (9)

[0092] (10)

[0093] Substituting equations (9) and (10) into equation (8), we get:

[0094] (11)

[0095] In the formula, m 0、 m 1. m 2. m 3 represents the experimental constants. Table 3 summarizes the experimental constants at different saturation levels obtained through fitting the experimental data.

[0097]

[0098] The axial strain in the experiment cannot be infinitely large; the limiting deviatoric stress of the hydrate-containing sediment sample. Numerically, it will be greater than the strength of the sample. ,definition and The ratio is the destruction ratio R f Used to determine value.

[0099] (12)

[0100] Based on the triaxial compression test results and data The values ​​were calculated to obtain the values ​​under different effective confining pressures and replacement rates when the initial hydrate saturation was 13%. R f The relationship between the destruction ratio and confining pressure and replacement rate was found to be insignificant. For CH4 hydrate-containing sediment samples with an initial hydrate saturation of 13%, the destruction ratio ranged from 0.92 to 0.97 under different replacement rates, with most values ​​around 0.94. An average value of 0.940 can be taken as the destruction ratio. Similarly, for CH4 hydrate-containing sediment samples with initial hydrate saturation of 25% and 38%, the destruction ratios under different replacement rates were 0.934 and 0.937, respectively. In summary, the influence of initial hydrate saturation, effective confining pressure, and replacement rate on the destruction ratio is relatively small and the pattern is not obvious. For the purpose of simplifying the model, the destruction ratio is taken as a constant value of 0.940 in this embodiment.

[0101] Substituting equation (12) into equation (7), we get:

[0102] (13)

[0103] Substituting equations (1), (6), and (13) into equation (5), we get

[0104] (14)

[0107] in, c For cohesion, f It is the internal friction angle. c and f The values ​​correspond to the arctangent values ​​of the intercept and slope of the common tangent of the Mohr's circle under different effective confining pressures. The experimental results of this embodiment show that as the initial hydrate saturation and replacement rate increase, the cohesive force tends to increase, while the change in the internal friction angle is small and the change pattern is not obvious. For the purpose of simplifying the model, this embodiment takes... f =24.05°. Let the cohesion be the initial hydrate saturation. S h and replacement rate or Functions:
