Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas reservoir production enhancement technology, specifically a method for establishing a self-directing acid viscosity equation for numerical simulation of reservoir acidization. Background Technology
[0002] During acidizing carbonate reservoirs, the acid preferentially enters the high-permeability layer, dissolving minerals and creating high-conductivity channels. This further increases the permeability of the high-permeability layer, while the low-permeability layer remains untreated, resulting in unsatisfactory acidizing effects. Therefore, diversion techniques are often used to redirect the acid to the low-permeability layer. Currently, the main diversion techniques developed are mechanical diversion and chemical diversion. Among them, viscoelastic surfactant-based self-diverting acids are widely used due to their excellent diversion performance and ease of operation. When self-diverting acids are injected into carbonate reservoirs, the system viscosity is very low; as the acid-rock reaction proceeds, the H... + Concentration decreases while Ca 2+ Increased concentration alters the aggregation morphology of viscoelastic surfactants, increasing the apparent viscosity of the system and the resistance to acid flow. This forces subsequent acid to enter the low-permeability layer, achieving acid diversion. Before self-diverting acidification, the diversion effect needs to be simulated. Common simulation methods include physical simulation and numerical simulation. Physical simulation is fundamental for understanding experimental laws but has certain limitations; numerical simulation is usually based on experimental results and offers high simulation efficiency.
[0003] The reversing effect of self-reversing acids depends on the viscosity-increasing ability of the system. The main factors affecting the viscosity-increasing ability of self-reversing acids are: the concentration of viscoelastic surfactant, the pH value of the system, and Ca2+. 2+ Concentration, etc. Current methods for establishing viscosity equations mostly rely on experimental fitting, first adjusting pH and Ca... 2+ The effects of factors such as concentration are fitted individually as functional equations. Then, a simple multiplication operation is performed on the fitted functions to establish an equation for the self-adjusting acid viscosity change under the influence of multiple factors. When conducting physical experiments to study the effect of pH on viscosity, CaCO3 is often used to adjust the pH of the system. As the pH of the system increases, the CaCO3 concentration also increases. 2+ The concentration also increased, while Ca 2+ Increased concentration can also cause changes in the system's viscosity, which means that the measured viscosity change is not entirely due to H+. + The concentration is also affected by Ca 2+ Concentration interference introduces errors into the fitted functional equations. Therefore, currently reported methods for establishing viscosity equations cannot accurately reflect the viscosity changes of self-sustaining acids in carbonate reservoirs. Consequently, the reliability of the self-sustaining acid reversal effect derived from numerical simulations needs further verification. Accurately predicting viscosity changes is crucial for assessing the reversal effect; therefore, establishing a method considering H... + and Ca 2+The viscosity equation for the concentration synergistic effect is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for establishing a self-directing acid viscosity equation in numerical simulation of reservoir acidization. In the physical simulation experiment, this application considers the simultaneous presence of H₂ in the system. + and Ca 2+ In this case, the influence of ion concentration changes on the viscosity of the system was investigated, an accurate viscosity equation was established, and the viscosity equation was substituted into the self-directing acid dual-scale continuous model. The redirection effect of self-directing acid in carbonate reservoirs was simulated by numerical simulation method.
[0005] The present invention is achieved by the following technical solution.

[0007] S1. Select a viscoelastic surfactant;
[0008] S2. Based on the viscoelastic surfactant from step S1, prepare systems containing different concentrations of viscoelastic surfactant, CaCl2, and hydrochloric acid, and determine the viscosity of the mixed system; the ratio of CaCl2 to HCl is determined according to the stoichiometric coefficients of the chemical reaction formula between HCl and CaCO3.
[0009] S3. H + and Ca 2+ Concentration converted to equivalent pH value C pH The viscosity of the acid will change with C. pH The change is fitted to a linear combination of an exponential function and an error function, and a self-directing acid viscosity equation is established.
[0010] S4. List the numerical simulation models of self-directing acidification;
[0011] S5. Set model conditions to simulate the acidification effects of conventional acids and self-reversing acids.
[0012] Furthermore, after self-directed acid injection into carbonate reservoirs, their viscosity mainly changes with H. + and Ca 2+ H changes with concentration + and Ca 2+ All concentrations are converted to equivalent pH values C. pH The viscosity of self-adjusting acid varies with H + and Ca 2+ The complex changes in concentration are converted into changes with C. pH Univariate change.
[0013] Furthermore, unknown H during the formation acid rock reaction process. +and Ca 2+ Concentration distribution is replaced by the coefficient relationship of chemical equations, and viscosity is simulated by physical experiments. + and Ca 2+ The effect of concentration is used to fit the viscosity change to C. pH The function.
[0014] Furthermore, the viscosity equation cannot be simply fitted to a single function or the product of multiple functions, but should be fitted to a linear combination of an exponential function and an error function. The self-adjusting acid viscosity equation includes the initial viscosity of the system, the viscosity increase factor, the equivalent pH value, and the fitting coefficient.
[0015] Furthermore, when the viscosity equation is applied to the numerical simulation of acidification, the penetration depth in the low-permeability layer is 2 to 3 times that of conventional acid when the initial viscosity of the acid is 10 mPa·s and the viscosity increase factor is 20.

[0019] 2HCl+CaCO3=CaCl2+H2O+CO2 (1);
[0020] S3: H + and Ca 2+ Concentration converted to equivalent pH value C pH This includes two situations: one is when the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the system changes from C... H,0 Reduced to 0, while Ca 2+ Concentration increased from 0 to C Ca,m One is that the system changes from fresh acid to residual acid; the other is that the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the system is 0, and Ca... 2+ Concentration from C Ca,m The increase begins, meaning that in the residual acid region, the hydrogen ion concentration is very low and can be ignored, Ca... 2+Due to the cumulative effects of convection and diffusion, the equation is:

L The density of the system is expressed in g·cm³. -3 ;
[0023] With C pH With H as the independent variable and viscosity as the dependent variable, the curve is fitted as a linear combination of an exponential function and an error function, establishing a method that considers H... + and Ca 2+ The self-directing acid viscosity equation of the synergistic effect:

[0026] To avoid situations where the calculated viscosity equation results in a viscosity lower than the initial acid viscosity, it is stipulated that when the calculated viscosity is lower than the initial viscosity, the calculated viscosity will be assigned the initial viscosity.

To avoid computational complexity, the following assumptions are made: ① Based on the difference in interlayer permeability, the carbonate reservoir is divided into high-permeability and low-permeability layers. High and low permeability represent relative values, not the high and low permeability classifications of the reservoir; ② Except for the initial permeability, the other parameters of the two strata are the same; ③ There is no barrier between the high-permeability and low-permeability layers; ④ The influence of fractures and caverns in the reservoir is not considered.

There are three types of boundary conditions: inlet conditions (injection rate, acid concentration), outlet conditions (outlet boundary pressure), and no-flux boundary conditions (zero flux). The model described in S4 is solved using the finite element method by changing the permeability gradient k. rSimulate the acidification redirection effect of self-directing acid under different formation conditions;
