Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of natural gas resource exploration and development, and in particular to an evaluation method for converting water-bearing traps in rift basins into gas storage facilities. Background Technology
[0002] Natural gas, as a highly efficient and clean energy source, has been widely used in both residential and numerous industrial sectors due to its economic and environmental benefits. The consumption of natural gas in cities and other industrial sectors often exhibits significant peaks due to seasonal variations. Because of its irreplaceable role in peak shaving and ensuring gas supply security, the construction of underground gas storage facilities has gradually gained increasing attention from more and more countries.
[0003] my country's oil and gas reservoirs are mainly concentrated in continental strata, and their scale is relatively small. This limits the potential for constructing underground gas storage facilities from depleted oil and gas reservoirs. However, constructing natural gas storage facilities by finding aquifer traps in rift basins holds promise for establishing large-scale underground natural gas storage facilities. Especially in the centers of large industrial cities and near major cities, not all depleted oil and gas fields are suitable for underground gas storage construction, but aquifer structures can always be found. In such cases, converting existing aquifer traps in rift basins into underground gas storage facilities becomes the preferred solution.
[0004] Current research indicates that converting aquifer traps in rift basins into underground gas storage facilities is more challenging and risky than constructing facilities from depleted gas reservoirs, both in terms of technical difficulty, risk, construction period, and investment. Constructing aquifer gas storage facilities is a comprehensive and complex systems engineering project. Not only is site selection constrained by many factors, but a scientific, rational, and effective suitability evaluation of the target trap for aquifer gas storage conversion, as well as the prediction of dynamic sealing performance and upper limit injection pressure, are essential. However, existing technologies lack a practical and effective method for screening and evaluating aquifer trap gas storage facilities in rift basins.
[0005] Chinese patent application CN201710981250.1 discloses a method for evaluating the sealing performance of a lithologic gas reservoir. The method includes the following steps: evaluating the sealing performance of the cover plate and bottom plate by first evaluating the macroscopic sealing performance of the cover plate and bottom plate, and then evaluating the microscopic sealing performance of the cover plate and bottom plate; evaluating the sealing performance of the lateral boundaries by first evaluating the microscopic sealing performance of the lateral boundaries, then evaluating the spatial morphology of the lateral boundaries, and finally evaluating the dynamic performance of the lateral boundaries; and verifying the overall sealing capability of the gas reservoir.
[0006] Chinese patent application CN201910641325.0 discloses a logging evaluation method for fault sealing. This method includes: selecting typical reference wells in the hanging wall and footwall of the fault to be evaluated; using the DC index to characterize the pressure properties of the two sides of the fault; using gas logging interpretation results to characterize the fluid properties of the two sides of the fault; establishing an evaluation index formula; and evaluating the fault sealing.
[0007] Chinese patent application number CN201610390275.X discloses a dynamic evaluation method for gas injection well control in a gas storage facility. This method includes: a derivation step: deriving a dimensionless gas injection rate decline model; a modeling step: establishing a theoretical model of gas injection rate based on the dimensionless gas injection rate decline model; a graphing step: introducing a normalized pseudo-pressure function and a material balance pseudo-time function, and establishing a theoretical graph of dimensionless gas injection rate versus material balance pseudo-time based on the gas injection rate theoretical model; a curve fitting step: obtaining a curve showing the relationship between dimensionless gas injection rate and material balance pseudo-time, and matching the fitted curve with the dimensionless gas injection rate relationship curve and the theoretical graph of dimensionless gas injection rate versus material balance pseudo-time; and a calculation step: calculating the storage and permeability parameters during the gas injection process of the gas well.

[0016] Step 6: Establish a finite element analysis model to obtain the upper limit injection pressure of the water-bearing trap in the rift basin.
[0017] The objective of this invention can also be achieved through the following technical measures:
[0018] In step 1, based on existing experience in gas storage construction and relevant expert advice, combined with geological data, field exploration results, and seismic logging interpretations, the suitability of various technical indicators for favorable traps in rift basins is obtained. The weights of the indicators are determined by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and a static sealing performance evaluation system for water-bearing traps in rift basins is established.

[0025] In step 1, the hydrodynamic conditions are selected for traps with unclosed boundaries and large water volume; the well density should be no more than 20 abandoned old wells.
[0026] In step 1, when using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the weights of the indicators, the conversion of water-bearing traps in rift basins into gas storage facilities is taken as the target layer, the trap sealing performance, structural characteristics, hydrodynamic conditions, reservoir suitability, gas storage scale and technical feasibility are taken as the criteria layer, and the technical indicators are taken as the evaluation layer. The AHP is then used to determine the weight values of each technical indicator.
[0027] In step 1, the overall suitability for converting a water-bearing trap in a rift basin into a gas storage facility is calculated using the following formula:
[0028] ;
[0029] In the formula, M represents the overall suitability for constructing a gas storage site in an aquifer. For the first The weight values corresponding to the technical indicators For the first The suitability of the technical indicators.
[0030] In step 2, based on the evaluation results of step 1, the triaxial peak compressive strength of the caprock is determined by taking geological core samples on site and using a rock triaxial mechanical testing machine while keeping the confining pressure constant, thereby determining the upper and lower limits of the alternating stress.
[0031] In step 3, based on the gas storage injection and production years, the number of alternations is determined, and a gas breakthrough pressure tester is used to conduct a dynamic breakthrough pressure test on the target trap caprock, establishing a curve relationship between the dynamic breakthrough pressure of the caprock rock and the number of alternations.
[0032] In step 3, the dynamic breakthrough pressure test of the caprock includes the following steps:
[0033] S31. Based on the core sampling depth at the site, prepare rock samples with a size of 25×50mm;
[0034] S32. With a pressure gradient of 0.0226 MPa / m, calculate the confining pressure under the fault burial depth condition, i.e.:

[0040] S36. Keep the confining pressure constant, starting from the minimum load (i.e., the origin), repeatedly apply cyclic loads at a loading rate of 1 kN / s, and conduct breakthrough pressure tests at 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 cycles respectively to obtain the dynamic breakthrough pressure changes of the target trap caprock.
[0041] In step 4, a triaxial rock testing machine is used to determine the number of alternation cycles based on the gas storage injection and production years, and fatigue failure tests are conducted on the caprock of the target trap to establish the curve relationship between the fatigue failure of the caprock and the number of alternation cycles.

[0046] S44. After the cyclic loading is completed, the displacement control loading is carried out at a rate of 0.001 mm / s until failure.
[0047] In step 5, the dynamic sealing performance of the caprock is evaluated by combining the test results from steps 3 and 4 and using the rock fatigue failure criterion and the dynamic breakthrough pressure variation relationship of the caprock.
[0048] In step 6, a finite element analysis model is established based on the on-site seismic exploration data. According to the Mohr-Coulomb shear failure criterion, tensile failure criterion, rock fatigue failure criterion and capillary sealing mechanism, the upper limit injection pressure of the water-bearing trap in the rift basin is obtained.
[0049] In step 6, when shear failure occurs at the weak cemented surface of the gas storage surrounding rock, the Mohr-Coulomb shear failure criterion is applied; when tensile stress occurs in the gas storage surrounding rock, the tensile failure criterion is applied; when judging the dynamic sealing capacity of the caprock, the capillary sealing mechanism is applied; and when judging the change in the dynamic sealing capacity of the caprock, the fatigue failure criterion is applied.
[0050] In step 6, the upper limit injection pressure of the converted gas storage facility from a water-bearing trap in the rift basin is calculated using the following formula:

This refers to the pore pressure of the formation above the caprock. To enable the caprock to dynamically overcome pressure, For the minimum horizontal principal stress of the cap layer, It is obtained through capillary pressure and injection pore pressure. It is obtained based on the minimum horizontal principal stress, and finally based on Get the upper limit of injection pressure.

[0198] Specifically, it involves understanding the basic physical and mechanical properties of rock masses at each stratum. In practice, this should start with the most basic geological conditions. While analyzing geological data, field exploration should be the main approach to obtain various mechanical parameters of the caprock, reservoir, overlying strata, and underlying strata, providing reliable prerequisites for subsequent finite element mechanical analysis models.
[0199] S302. Establish a finite element analysis model for the target aquifer, such as... Figure 8 As shown;
[0200] S303. Apply different criteria for judging the upper limit injection pressure of the gas storage facility for different situations, and calculate the upper limit injection pressure value of the aquifer gas storage facility by combining various criteria.
[0201] The various criteria mentioned include the tensile failure criterion, the Mohr-Coulomb shear failure criterion, and the capillary closure criterion.
[0202] When the surrounding rock of a gas storage facility fractures, the tensile failure criterion should be applied.
[0203] When shear failure occurs at the weak cemented surface of the surrounding rock of a gas storage facility, the Mohr-Coulomb shear failure criterion shall be applied.
[0204] When gas leakage occurs in the capillary of a gas storage facility, the capillary sealing mechanism should be applied, meaning that the pressure of the gas injected into the storage layer should be less than the sum of the water pressure above the capillary and the dynamic breakthrough pressure.
[0205] Specifically, the three criteria are as follows:
[0206] Capillary sealing mechanism:
[0207] Because gas storage facilities undergo periodic injection and extraction activities, the caprock is damaged and deteriorated during multiple rounds of injection and extraction, leading to a gradual decrease in its sealing capacity and affecting the sealing performance of the gas storage trap. The capillary seal is considered a prerequisite for failure under the following two evaluation criteria, and its calculation method is as follows:
[0208] ;
[0209] The water pressure above the caprock, This refers to the dynamic breakthrough pressure of the caprock.
[0210] Tensile failure criterion:
[0211] The surrounding rock of aquifer gas storage facilities has low tensile strength. When the injection pressure inside the storage facility is too high, tensile stress will be generated in the surrounding rock. Special attention should be paid to the tensile failure of the surrounding rock in this situation. Various types of rock exist within the surrounding rock of gas storage facilities, and due to the irregularity of the storage enclosure, elasticity mechanics is not applicable to solving such problems. However, solving these problems using the finite element method is relatively simple. By determining the desired parameters, accurate simulation can be performed based on the actual situation.

[0214] To prevent shear failure of the surrounding rock of the gas storage facility, the minimum horizontal principal stress of the gas storage facility at this time is denoted as... .
[0215] Mohr-Coulomb shear failure criterion:
[0216] Due to the intensive injection and extraction processes at gas storage facilities, deformation of the surrounding rock is inevitable. Because the types of surrounding rock vary and the mechanical properties differ between layers, interlayer slippage and shear failure will occur, thus affecting the local stability of the gas storage facility. The calculation method is as follows:
[0217] ;
[0218] For cohesion and internal friction angle, The normal stress on the physical plane where rock failure occurs. This refers to pore pressure.
[0219] To prevent shear failure of the surrounding rock of the gas storage facility, the minimum operating internal pressure of the gas storage facility at this time is denoted as: .
[0220] S404. Based on the simulation calculated using various judgment criteria, the optimal value is selected as the upper limit injection pressure of the gas storage tank using the upper limit injection pressure formula.
[0221] Specifically, the upper limit injection pressure of the aquifer gas storage tank can be calculated by the following formula:
[0222] ;
[0223] In the formula, This is the upper limit pressure of the aquifer gas storage facility. This refers to the pore pressure of the formation above the caprock. To enable the caprock to dynamically overcome pressure, This represents the minimum horizontal principal stress of the cap layer.

It is a low-amplitude anticline with a closure of approximately 20m, no faults, and a trap area of 1.55km². 2 The maximum gas storage capacity is approximately 960 million cubic meters. The direct caprock of the Guantao Formation is gray and purplish-red mudstone, with a single layer thickness of 3-14.5m and a cumulative thickness of 106.5m. The reservoir depth is 1125-1320m, mainly composed of fine sandstone, with a single layer thickness of 5-28m and a cumulative thickness of 71m. There is relatively little structural geological data available, and it can only be determined based on geological data from nearby areas. The average porosity is 34%, the permeability is 896mD, and the geostress coefficient is estimated by referring to existing geostress tests in the Shengli oilfield, combined with relevant empirical formulas and literature data.

[0246]
[0247] To facilitate the quantitative analysis of specific indicators for evaluating caprocks, caprocks are categorized into "good," "relatively good," "medium," and "poor" grades (as shown in Table 6). This is combined with the weighting of each indicator in the overall evaluation system obtained using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). This allows us to obtain the overall suitability value of the cap layer quality. ,Right now:

However, it is still necessary to establish corresponding monitoring points for dynamic observation.

The direct caprock of the Guantao Formation is gray and purplish-red mudstone, with a single layer thickness of 3-14.5m and a cumulative thickness of 106.5m. The reservoir depth is 1125-1320m, mainly composed of fine sandstone, with a single layer thickness of 5-28m and a cumulative thickness of 71m.

Figure 16 As shown, the mesh model is input Figure 17 As shown, the model has a horizontal range of 12km and includes four typical strata: overlying layer, caprock, aquifer reservoir, and basement strata.
[0265] Due to the low level of exploration of Xia 552, there is limited core testing data. Only reservoir physical parameters have been tested, while the caprock and other strata were determined by combining data from adjacent areas and relevant literature, as shown in Table 9.

[0268] 3.3 Upper Limit Injection Pressure Prediction and Stability Analysis
[0269] (1) Critical internal friction angle
[0270] According to the shear failure criterion, when the injection pressure is At MPa, the stress Mohr's circle variation trend of the cap layer is as follows: Figure 18 As shown, the maximum critical internal friction angle at this point is approximately 28.5°. o At this point, local shear failure occurs in the caprock. The corresponding minimum principal compressive stress on the caprock is as follows: Figure 19 As shown, the cap layer was always under compressive stress and did not experience tensile failure.
[0271] (2) Tensile failure
[0272] Based on the tensile failure criterion, the maximum injection pressure at which the caprock fails is simulated, and the corresponding minimum principal stress is calculated; when the maximum injection pressure of the caprock... At MPa, its minimum principal compressive stress approaches 0 ( Figure 20 and Figure 21 Since ABAQUS treats compression as negative and tension as positive in the calculation process, when the compressive stress approaches 0, tensile stress begins to appear, and the cap layer undergoes tensile failure.
[0273] (3) Overcoming pressure
[0274] Due to the lack of measured data on caprock breakthrough pressure, based on the model developed by Soviet scholar Pilipu through experiments regarding the relationship between caprock penetration pressure difference and permeability, namely:
[0275] ;
[0276] In the formula, The pressure difference is measured in MPa. Permeability, in mD.
[0277] According to relevant data from neighboring areas, the breakthrough pressure corresponding to a caprock permeability of 0.001 mD is 10.26 MPa.
[0278] Based on the above empirical formula, the gas pressure injected into the reservoir... It should be less than the water pressure above the cap layer. The sum of the dynamic breakthrough pressure and the critical injection pressure of the caprock can predict a critical injection pressure of approximately 21.56 MPa.
[0279] Table 10 Comprehensive Evaluation Table for Summer 552
[0280]
[0281] As shown in Table 10, during the injection process, under the constraints of three evaluation criteria, the caprock first experienced gas breakthrough, followed by shear failure, and finally tensile failure. Through comparative analysis, 21.56 MPa was selected as the upper limit injection pressure, and the corresponding upper limit pressure coefficient was approximately 1.908.
[0282] In conclusion, Xia 552 is a suitable target for reservoir construction, but it is still necessary to establish corresponding monitoring points for dynamic observation.
