[0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, a test system for simulating shale oil extraction is provided, comprising a microwave radiation device, a clamping device, an acoustic vibration device, an ultrasonic measuring device, a supercritical carbon dioxide supply device, and an oil-water-gas collection device. The clamping device is disposed within the microwave radiation device. The acoustic vibration device and the ultrasonic measuring device are detachably connected to the clamping device, respectively. The supercritical carbon dioxide supply device is connected to the clamping device, and the oil-water-gas collection device is connected to the clamping device.
[0014] Furthermore, the clamping device includes a first pump body, a first container, a clamp, and a sealing sleeve. The first pump body, the first container, and the clamp are connected in sequence. A first valve is provided between the first container and the clamp. The first container is used to store nitrogen gas and injects nitrogen gas into the clamp through the first pump body to provide ring pressure. The sealing sleeve is provided inside the clamp and is used to seal the reservoir core sample.
[0015] Furthermore, the acoustic vibration device includes an acoustic generator, a power amplifier, and an acoustic transducer connected in sequence, with the acoustic transducer detachably connected to the outer wall of the clamp.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0028] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.
[0029] To address the challenges of effectively evaluating the extraction patterns and recovery rates of shale oil in existing technologies, which leads to high extraction difficulty and low recovery rates, this invention provides a test method and system for simulating shale oil extraction.
[0030] like Figure 1 The method for simulating shale oil extraction includes: Step S100: Measuring the mass of a reservoir core sample and sealing and fixing it; Step S200: Performing acoustic vibration on the reservoir core sample for a preset duration and obtaining the acoustic property parameters of the reservoir core sample; Step S300: Heating the reservoir core sample to a preset temperature under constant temperature environment using microwave radiation and maintaining it for a first preset duration; Step S400: Injecting supercritical carbon dioxide into the reservoir core sample and simmering the well for a second preset duration to perform oil and gas extraction; Step S500: Collecting the decomposition products of the reservoir core sample and recording the cumulative yield of the decomposition products.
[0031] This embodiment measures the mass of reservoir core samples to provide a basis for determining the volume of supercritical carbon dioxide injected into them. Sealing and fixing the reservoir core samples stabilizes the experiment and avoids interference from the external environment, thus improving the accuracy of the experimental data. By subjecting the reservoir core samples to ultrasonic vibration for a preset duration and acquiring their acoustic properties, the changes in pore structure and fracture formation under vibration excitation can be reflected, providing experimental data support for waterless fracturing of formations. Microwave heating of the reservoir core samples to a preset temperature under constant temperature conditions and maintaining this temperature for a first preset duration ensures sufficient heating of the vibratory fracturing process. Microwave heating also induces molecular vibration during the heating process, promoting more complete decomposition reactions. Injecting supercritical carbon dioxide into the reservoir core samples and maintaining this injection for a second preset duration allows for sufficient diffusion of carbon dioxide within the samples, ensuring adequate contact. By collecting decomposition products from reservoir core samples and recording their yield, different decomposition rates under different experimental conditions can be obtained. Based on the experimental data, experimental parameters, such as microwave radiation heating power and isothermal time, can be optimized. In the above experimental method, experimental parameters such as the first preset duration, the second preset duration, and the preset temperature can be set within a reasonable range. Based on this method, the extraction law and recovery rate of shale oil under the synergistic effect of microwave-supercritical carbon dioxide huff and puff can be obtained, thus providing necessary theoretical research and experimental basis for shale oil extraction, facilitating the optimization of shale oil extraction methods, and improving recovery rates.
[0032] The following is a detailed explanation of each of the above steps:
[0033] S100. Measure the mass of the reservoir core sample and seal and fix the reservoir core sample.
[0034] Specifically, after measuring the mass of the reservoir core sample, the reservoir core sample can be placed in a temperature- and pressure-resistant rubber sleeve for sealing and fixed in a specific position, such as a clamp.
[0035] S200. Perform acoustic vibration on the reservoir core sample for a preset duration and obtain the acoustic property parameters of the reservoir core sample.
[0036] Specifically, the reservoir core samples are subjected to acoustic vibration excitation for a preset duration so that the acoustic parameters measured after the reservoir core samples are excited have certain reference value. Based on the acoustic property parameters, the changes in the pore structure and the formation of fractures in the reservoir core samples after excitation can be known. This is used to simulate the process of waterless fracturing to transform the formation and to provide experimental support for shale oil extraction.
[0037] During the experiment, the changes in pore structure and fracture formation of the reservoir core sample under vibration excitation can be reflected by measuring the first arrival time of the first wave and the amplitude of the waveform. That is, a longer first arrival time and a smaller amplitude indicate an increase in fractures in the reservoir core sample. This experimental process will simulate the formation stimulation process without water fracturing, providing necessary data for the advancement of actual mining.
[0038] S300, under constant temperature environment, the reservoir core sample is heated to the preset temperature by microwave radiation and maintained for the first preset time.
[0039] It should be noted that the constant temperature environment is used to simulate the temperature of the formation where the reservoir core sample is located, ensuring that the normal extraction of shale oil is not affected by formation temperature issues during actual shale oil reservoir development. Additionally, microwave radiation heating of the reservoir core sample, i.e., conducting a microwave radiation experiment, can cause vibration of the reservoir core sample during heating, which is beneficial for subsequent decomposition of the reservoir core sample. This preset temperature can be determined based on the pyrolysis characteristics of the obtained reservoir core sample, such as 300℃, and is maintained at this temperature for a first preset time to ensure that the reservoir core sample is fully heated. For example, this first preset time can be set to 20 minutes.
[0040] S400: Inject supercritical carbon dioxide into reservoir core samples and shut the well for a second preset time to carry out oil and gas extraction.
[0041] Specifically, the carbon dioxide pressure inside the carbon dioxide storage container can be made greater than the supercritical pressure of carbon dioxide, and supercritical carbon dioxide can be injected into the reservoir core sample. After injection, the carbon dioxide and the reservoir core sample are allowed to come into full contact in a sealed environment. This process continues for a second preset time, i.e., a carbon dioxide huff and puff test is conducted. For example, the second preset time can be set to 30 minutes to facilitate oil and gas extraction.
[0042] S500. Collect the decomposition products of reservoir core samples and record the cumulative yield of the decomposition products.
[0043] Specifically, the decomposition products include oil, gas, and water. By changing the temperature or time mentioned above and comparing the yield of the decomposition products, it is of great significance to determine the appropriate parameters for actual shale oil extraction based on experimental data.
[0044] In this embodiment, the test method further includes performing the following operations before measuring the mass of the reservoir core sample:
[0045] S110. Collect shale oil reservoir cores and seal them for preservation to obtain the formation temperature at the shale oil reservoir core collection location.
[0046] Specifically, in practice, high-quality shale oil reservoir sections can be identified based on geological, seismic, and well logging data. The collected shale oil reservoir cores are then sealed and preserved to prevent oxidation or other uncertainties from affecting the test results. When collecting shale oil reservoir cores, the target section being drilled needs to be cored in a sealed environment. During core collection, hydrocarbon loss must be minimized. After reaching the surface, the cores are wrapped in tin foil, sealed with wax, and stored in a low-temperature environment. A water-based sealing fluid is used, and it is crucial to prevent the sealing fluid from seeping into the shale oil reservoir core and affecting its quality. Simultaneously, the formation temperature at the core collection location is measured to simulate the formation temperature during subsequent tests. The formation temperature is determined by the formation depth of the shale oil reservoir. For example, the formation temperature is typically 110℃~130℃, with the actual measured temperature being the most accurate.
[0047] S120. Conduct pyrolysis tests on shale oil reservoir cores to obtain pyrolysis parameters of the shale oil reservoir cores.
[0048] Specifically, the pyrolysis temperature of the collected shale oil reservoir cores can be determined through pyrolysis tests. For example, the optimal pyrolysis temperature for shale oil reservoir cores is 300℃ to 500℃. Based on the measured pyrolysis parameters, subsequent heating of the reservoir core samples is conducted within a clearly defined heating range, avoiding indiscriminate heating that could affect the experimental process.
[0049] S130. Conduct acoustic vibration tests on shale oil reservoir cores to obtain the natural frequencies of the shale oil reservoir cores.
[0050] Specifically, by conducting acoustic vibration tests on the collected shale oil cores, the natural frequency of the shale oil reservoir cores can be obtained through the vibration waveforms of the cores. This allows for rapid destruction of the reservoir core samples in subsequent tests, saving testing time.
[0051] Shale oil reservoir core cutting, polishing and grinding under S140 and liquid nitrogen environment.
[0052] Specifically, liquid nitrogen environment can provide the necessary low temperature environment for shale oil reservoir core processing, avoiding excessively high local temperatures at the processing site of the shale oil reservoir core during cutting, polishing, and grinding, which would affect the quality of the shale oil core.
[0053] In this embodiment, the experimental method further includes: repeating step S400, or steps S300 and S400, to conduct multiple experiments. In step S500, recording the cumulative yield of the decomposition products includes:
[0054] Calculate the total amount of oil, Mo′, in the decomposition products:
[0055] Calculate the total amount of water Mw′ in the decomposition products:
[0056] Calculate the total amount of gas V′ in the decomposition products:
[0057] in, Let be the mass of the oil obtained in the j-th carbon dioxide huff and puff test under the i-th microwave radiation test; Let be the mass of water obtained in the j-th carbon dioxide ionization test under the i-th microwave radiation test; Let be the volume of gas obtained in the j-th carbon dioxide ionization test under the i-th microwave radiation test; i is the number of microwave radiation tests, n is the total number of microwave radiation tests; j is the number of carbon dioxide ionization tests, and m is the total number of carbon dioxide ionization tests.
[0058] To fully extract the decomposition products, step S400 can be repeated. When the extracted products no longer increase, steps S300 and S400 can be repeated, allowing the reservoir core sample to undergo radiation heating decomposition again. Then, supercritical carbon dioxide huff and puff experiments are used for product extraction, ultimately ensuring full decomposition and product extraction from the reservoir core sample. Based on the three formulas mentioned above, the total oil (Mo′), total water (Mw′), and total gas (V′) in the decomposition products are calculated. Analysis of the decomposition products reveals the extraction patterns and recovery rates of shale oil under different extraction conditions. This provides a basis for further optimization of microwave radiation power, the number of microwave radiation experiments, carbon dioxide injection volume, and carbon dioxide huff and puff frequency, thus providing the necessary theoretical research and experimental foundation for the microwave-supercritical carbon dioxide huff and puff co-production of shale oil.
[0059] In step S500, the collection of decomposition products from reservoir core samples includes: cooling the decomposition products to cool the oil and water in the decomposition products, and centrifuging the cooled oil and water to separate them; removing carbon dioxide mixed in the decomposition products, and collecting the gas in the decomposition products.
[0060] Specifically, the cooling medium required for condensation can be liquid nitrogen, ice, or a mixture of ice and water, etc. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this, as long as the required condensation conditions are met. When collecting the gas from the decomposition products, a flow meter can be installed on the gas collection pipeline after removing carbon dioxide to measure the volume of the generated gas.
[0061] It should be noted that the order in which the above experimental methods are described does not represent the order in which the experiments are conducted. The same experimental process may also be performed multiple times, and is not limited to the steps described in this embodiment. In addition, the above experimental methods can also be used to test oil shale reservoir samples, and the specific operations are the same as described above, so they will not be repeated here.
[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also provides a test system for simulating shale oil extraction, including a microwave radiation device, a clamping device, an acoustic vibration device, an ultrasonic measuring device, a supercritical carbon dioxide supply device, and an oil-water-gas collection device. The clamping device is installed inside the microwave radiation device. The acoustic vibration device and the ultrasonic measuring device are detachably connected to the clamping device. The supercritical carbon dioxide supply device is connected to the clamping device, and the oil-water-gas collection device is connected to the clamping device.
[0063] Specifically, the aforementioned experimental system is used in conjunction with the aforementioned experimental methods. During operation, the reservoir core sample is placed inside the clamping device, and a microwave radiation device heats the sample. Before heating, the reservoir core sample is vibrated using an acoustic vibration device. After vibration excitation, an ultrasonic measuring device is used to detect the acoustic properties of the reservoir core sample to understand changes in its pore structure, facilitating subsequent operational steps. A supercritical carbon dioxide supply device provides supercritical carbon dioxide to the reservoir core sample, and the final product is collected using an oil-water-gas collection device. The shale oil simulation system provided in this embodiment provides the necessary experimental environment for the aforementioned experimental methods, ensuring stable experimental execution, providing necessary hardware support for shale oil extraction, facilitating optimization of shale oil extraction methods, and improving the accuracy and reliability of experimental data. Furthermore, this shale oil simulation system can also be used to test oil shale samples using the aforementioned experimental methods, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the clamping device includes a first pump body 121, a first container 122, a clamp 123, and a sealing sleeve 124 disposed inside the clamp 123. The sealing sleeve 124 is used to seal the reservoir core sample. The first pump body 121, the first container 122, and the clamp 123 are connected in sequence. A first valve 125 is provided between the first container 122 and the clamp 123. The first container 122 is used to store nitrogen gas, and the nitrogen gas is injected into the clamp 123 through the first pump body 121 to provide annular pressure.
[0065] Specifically, the sealing sleeve 124 can be a rubber sleeve to seal the reservoir core sample, and the clamp 123 is made of a temperature- and pressure-resistant special engineering plastic, such as polyetheretherketone, polyimide, or polyphenylene ester. This material needs to meet the requirements of a maximum pressure of 30 MPa and a maximum temperature of 800°C to meet the needs of heating and pressurization. In this way, when nitrogen gas from the first container 122 is injected into the clamp 123 through the first pump body 121, it can support the pressure of the nitrogen gas. In addition, when the reservoir core sample is heated by a microwave radiation device, it can also withstand the heat of heating well, which helps to improve the stability of the clamp device during use.
[0066] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention do not impose specific limitations on the first pump body 121; for example, a hand-cranked pump or an electric pump can be used. Additionally, the first valve 125 is used to control the flow of nitrogen. After injecting nitrogen at a preset pressure, the first valve 125 can be closed to prevent nitrogen leakage along the channel. Furthermore, the acoustic vibration device, ultrasonic measuring device, supercritical carbon dioxide supply device, and oil-water-gas collection device are respectively connected to the clamp 123 of the clamping device to facilitate experimental operations on reservoir core samples.
[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, the acoustic vibration device includes an acoustic generator 132, a power amplifier 134 and an acoustic transducer 136 connected in sequence. The acoustic transducer 136 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the clamp 123.
[0068] Thus, during use, by turning on the acoustic generator 132 and adjusting the power amplifier 134, the reservoir core sample inside the clamping device can be excited by acoustic vibration. When performing microwave radiation heating, the acoustic transducer 136 can be temporarily removed to avoid damage from high temperatures.
[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, the ultrasonic measuring device includes an ultrasonic exciter 142, an oscilloscope 144, and an ultrasonic probe assembly. The oscilloscope 144 is connected to the ultrasonic exciter 142 and the terminal device 170, respectively. The ultrasonic probe assembly is detachably connected to the outer wall of the holder 123. The ultrasonic probe assembly includes a transmitting probe 146 and a receiving probe 148. The transmitting probe 146 is connected to the ultrasonic exciter 142, and the receiving probe 148 is connected to the oscilloscope 144.
[0070] Specifically, the transmitting probe 146 and the receiving probe 148 are located on both sides of the holder 123, and are used to monitor the arrival time and waveform of the first wave of the excited reservoir core sample inside the holder 123. After the required parameters are measured, the transmitting probe 146 and the receiving probe 148 can also be removed from the holder 123 to avoid damage from high temperatures during microwave radiation heating. In addition, the terminal device 170 can be a computer for convenient viewing, calculation, or statistical analysis of the parameters.
[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, the microwave radiation device includes a microwave generator 112, a microwave anechoic chamber 113, a microwave radiating plate 114, a thermocouple 115, and a temperature transmitter 116. The microwave radiating plate 114 is disposed in the microwave anechoic chamber 113 and connected to the microwave generator 112. The microwave generator 112 is connected to the terminal device 170. The thermocouple 115 is disposed in the microwave anechoic chamber 113 and connected to the temperature transmitter 116. The temperature transmitter 116 is connected to the terminal device 170.
[0072] Specifically, the microwave generator 112 heats the microwave anechoic chamber 113 through the microwave radiator 114, thereby heating the reservoir core sample inside the clamping device. Thermocouple 115 inside the microwave anechoic chamber 113 is connected to temperature transmitter 116, which in turn is connected to terminal device 170, so that the temperature information in the microwave anechoic chamber 113 can be fed back to the terminal device 170 for relevant operations based on the information.
[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, the supercritical carbon dioxide supply device includes a second pump body 151, a second container 152, and a constant temperature chamber 157. The second pump body 151, the second container 152, and the clamp 123 are connected in sequence. A four-way valve 153 is provided between the second container 152 and the clamp 123. A vent valve 159 is provided on the four-way valve 153. A second valve 154 is provided between the second container 152 and the four-way valve 153. A third valve 155 and a pressure gauge 156 are provided between the clamp 123 and the four-way valve 153. The microwave anechoic chamber 113 and the second container 152 are located inside the constant temperature chamber 157.
[0074] Specifically, this embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on the second pump body 151. For example, the second pump body 151 can be a high-precision displacement pump to provide supercritical carbon dioxide. When providing supercritical carbon dioxide to the reservoir core sample in the holder 123, the vent valve 159 must first be opened to purge the air in the pipeline, and then the third valve 155 must be opened to provide supercritical carbon dioxide. Additionally, the constant temperature chamber 157 is used to provide the temperature of the environment in which the reservoir core sample is located. This ensures that the normal extraction of shale oil is not affected by formation temperature issues during actual shale oil extraction.
[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, the oil, water and gas collection device includes a cooling metering component 161, a carbon dioxide removal component 162, a flow meter 163 and a gas collection component 164 connected in sequence. The cooling metering component 161 is connected to a four-way valve 153. A fourth valve 165 and a back pressure valve 166 are provided between the cooling metering component 161 and the four-way valve 153.
[0076] Specifically, during the collection of decomposition products, both the second valve 154 and the vent valve 159 are closed. At this time, the decomposition products flow through the third valve 155, the fourth valve 165, and the back pressure valve 166, passing through the cooling metering assembly 161, the carbon dioxide removal assembly 162, and the flow meter 163. The final generated gas is collected by the gas collection assembly 164. The cooling metering assembly 161 consists of a test tube and a cooling medium, such as liquid nitrogen, ice, or an ice-water mixture. The generated gas and carbon dioxide pass through the cooling metering assembly 161 to the carbon dioxide removal assembly 162. An alkaline solution, such as sodium hydroxide solution, can be used to absorb the carbon dioxide. The total flow rate and volume of the absorbed gas can be measured by the flow meter 163, and the produced gas is collected by the gas collection assembly 164. For component analysis of the collected decomposition products, a gas chromatograph can be used to detect whether the carbon dioxide has been completely removed and to identify specific components in the gas, such as methane and ethane.
[0077] It should be noted that "multiple" in the above embodiments refers to at least two.
[0078] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
