[0002] In the development of a low-permeability reservoir, the micro-distribution of oil and water in the porous medium is extremely important. On the one hand, the micro-distribution of oil and water is a manifestation of its macro-distribution and the basis for determining the macro-distribution of oil and water. The accumulation of crude oil and the distribution of residual oil are affected by the micro-distribution of oil and water. On the other hand, the micro-distribution of oil and water has a close influence on the seepage law of oil and water and the water flooding efficiency in the water flooding process. Therefore, in the low-permeability reservoir, from well placement to the development of technical policies and the tertiary oil recovery stage, the micro-distribution of oil and water is an important factor to be considered.

[0032] The principles and spirit of the present specification will be described below with reference to several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are given only so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present specification, and do not limit the scope of the present specification in any way. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present specification disclosure is more thorough and complete, and the scope of the present disclosure is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.
[0033] Those skilled in the art understand that the embodiments of the present specification can be implemented as a system, device, apparatus, method or computer program product. Therefore, the present specification disclosure can be specifically implemented in the following forms: complete hardware, complete software (including firmware, resident software, microcode, etc.), or a combination of hardware and software.
[0034] The main means for studying oil-water micro-distribution at present are as follows: CT imaging technology, oil-bearing thin section identification, nuclear magnetic resonance technology and numerical simulation method. Among them, CT imaging technology can quickly, accurately and non-destructively obtain high-resolution images representing the pore structure of the rock. In recent years, this technology has also been used in the visualization research of multiphase flow and reaction flow in porous media. With the help of micro-CT imaging equipment, the occurrence position, distribution characteristics and saturation distribution of each phase fluid of three fluids (water, benzyl alcohol and alkane) in the pore space are obtained, which provides a new research approach for studying micro-residual oil distribution and flow characteristics. However, CT imaging technology has the problems of high experimental cost and inability to quantitatively characterize, so it is difficult to carry out large-scale application. Oil-bearing thin section identification uses a low-viscosity and high-strength adhesive to make a core that is not contaminated and can truly reflect the distribution of underground fluids into an oil-bearing thin section. The biggest advantage of this method is that it basically maintains the distribution of fluids in the underground pore space, and the occurrence form of residual oil can be easily observed. However, the thin section preparation process is difficult, the image resolution is low, and it is usually used for simple qualitative evaluation. Nuclear magnetic resonance technology can distinguish oil and water signals by adding water-soluble paramagnetic ions to obtain oil-water distribution images. This method is used to observe the flow of oil and water in the pore space of the core and quantitatively study the saturation distribution characteristics of oil and water. However, due to the poor image quality, the analysis error is large. Numerical simulation method is an intermediate simulation method between macro and micro, which is mainly used to study the thermodynamic properties and migration mechanism of fluids, flow simulation at micro scale, and flow of complex fluids in porous media. Numerical simulation method has the characteristics of simple calculation, low cost and repeatability, and has carried out a lot of research on micro seepage and residual oil distribution. However, due to the characteristics of real core, such as pore structure and complexity, and the roughness of rock surface, the results of numerical simulation cannot represent the real distribution and migration characteristics of fluids in the rock.
[0035] Based on the above problems, the embodiment of the present specification provides a low-permeability oil reservoir oil-water micro-distribution quantitative characterization method. In the embodiment, the low-permeability oil reservoir oil-water micro-distribution quantitative characterization method can include the following steps.
[0036] First step: prepare a long 4.5 cm to 7.5 cm long and 2.5 cm wide reservoir core in a low-permeability oil reservoir, wash the core with oil, dry it, and cut a short core with a length of 0.5 cm and a width of 2.5 cm from one side of the core, as shown in Figure 1 . Figure 1 In the embodiment, the No. 1 core is a long core, and the No. 2 core is a short core. The porosity and permeability of the two cores are measured respectively, and the measurement results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0037] Table 1
[0038]
[0039] After obtaining the measurement results, it is determined whether the porosity and permeability of the long core and the short core are close. If yes, the subsequent step is performed. Otherwise, the core is prepared again. In an embodiment, it can be determined whether the difference between the permeability of the long core and the short core is within a preset range. If yes, it is determined whether the difference between the porosity of the long core and the short core is within a preset range. If yes, the subsequent step is performed. The preset range can be set according to actual conditions.
[0040] Second step: vacuum and pressurize the No. 1 core to saturate water, and the pressure added is 17 MPa. The nuclear magnetic resonance test parameters are: the radio frequency distribution range is 1-30 MHz, the control accuracy is 0.1 MHz, the echo time is set to 0.12 ms, the waiting measurement time is 1.125 s, and the scanning number is 64 times. After the nuclear magnetic resonance detection, the saturated water nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum can be obtained, as shown in Figure 2 . The No. 2 core is used for constant-speed mercury injection experiment, and the constant-speed mercury injection experiment equipment model is ASPPE-730, and the mercury injection speed is 6×10 - 5 mL / min. The constant-speed mercury injection can obtain the pore throat size and distribution frequency, that is, the pore radius distribution frequency curve (or referred to as the pore size and distribution frequency curve, or referred to as the pore size distribution curve) and the throat radius distribution frequency curve (or referred to as the throat size and distribution frequency curve, or referred to as the throat size distribution curve), as shown in Figure 3 .
[0041] Step 3: Core No. 1 was dried at 105℃ for 10 hours, cooled, and then re-vacuumed and pressurized (17MPa) with 99.99% pure deuterium water. Subsequently, the formation crude oil was saturated using the displacement method at a displacement pressure of 17MPa, a displacement pressure differential of 2MPa, and a confining pressure of 19MPa, until water production ceased at the outlet for 30 consecutive minutes. The core was then aged at 52℃ and 17MPa for 600 hours. After aging, NMR testing was performed again to obtain the saturated oil NMR T2 spectrum of the crude oil, as shown below. Figure 4 The solid line in the figure shows that, since hydrogen atom signals cannot be detected in the deuterium-saturated water in the core before the oil saturation process, the NMR detects hydrogen signals in the oil after the oil saturation process.
[0042] Step 4: Under conditions of 52℃, displacement pressure 17MPa, displacement pressure differential 2MPa, and confining pressure 19MPa, core No. 1 was displaced with deuterium water until oil production ceased at the outlet for 30 consecutive minutes. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) testing was then performed again. The NMR T2 spectrum of the residual oil was obtained at this point, as shown below. Figure 4 The dashed line in the figure shows the residual oil. The residual oil's nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum reflects its resonance signal.
[0043] Step 5: Characterize the total porosity distribution curve of saturated water using data from constant-rate mercury intrusion porosimetry experiments and the T2 NMR spectrum of saturated water. First, establish the relationship between relaxation time and pore throat size to determine the relaxation rate. According to the NMR mechanism, since the relaxation time of water in porous media mainly reflects the surface relaxation characteristics of water, i.e., the strength of the interaction force between water and the pore surface of the porous medium, the stronger the liquid-solid interaction force, the shorter the liquid relaxation time, and vice versa. The transverse relaxation time of atoms within a single pore of saturated water in a uniform magnetic field can be approximated as:
[0044]
[0045] Where T2 is the atomic transverse relaxation time, c represents the shape factor (pore shape factor is 3, throat shape factor is 2), and V represents the pore volume in μm. 3 S represents surface area, in μm. 2 ρ is the relaxation rate, in μm / ms, and r is the pore radius, in μm.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 5 This diagram illustrates a schematic representation of an embodiment of this specification, showing the calibration of relaxation rate based on a quasi-total porosity distribution curve and an NMR T2 spectrum. The throat size and distribution frequency curve obtained by constant-rate mercury intrusion can be superimposed with the pore size and distribution frequency curve to obtain the quasi-total porosity distribution curve. For example... Figure 5As shown, the quasi-total porosity distribution curve and the total porosity distribution obtained from NMR both exhibit a bimodal shape. The two peaks in the quasi-total porosity distribution curve represent the throat distribution and the pore distribution, respectively. Figure 5 It can be seen that the quasi-total porosity distribution curve and the full porosity distribution curve have a high degree of similarity in the shape of the left peak, which meets the conditions for NMR relaxation rate calibration. Therefore, the T2 spectrum is calibrated using the left peak of the quasi-total porosity distribution curve to determine the relaxation rate. The abscissa of the left peak of the quasi-total porosity distribution curve is 0.4 μm, and the abscissa of the left peak of the full porosity distribution curve is 0.63 ms. Here, there is a small throat, and the shape factor c is 2. Substituting the above three data into Formula 1, the relaxation rate ρ is calculated to be 0.317 μm / ms.
[0047] Secondly, the calibrated relaxation rate is used to convert the saturated water NMR T2 spectrum into a pore and throat radius distribution curve, which is called the total pore distribution curve. Figure 6 As shown.
[0048] Next, subtract the distribution frequency of the throat size and distribution curve from the distribution frequency of the total pore size distribution curve to obtain the pore size and distribution frequency. Then, multiply the pore radius by the scaling factor (3 / 2) from tubular to spherical pore volume to obtain the total pore size distribution curves for tubular throats and spherical pore volumes. This represents all the pore size and distribution curves and throat size and distribution curves in the core sample. Figure 7 As shown.
[0049] Regarding the scaling factor from tubular to spherical, the tubular shape represents the throat, and the spherical shape represents the pore. In formula (1), the shape factor of the pore is 3, and the shape factor of the throat is 2. Since... Figure 5 The relaxation rate is calibrated using the throat. This relaxation rate is only suitable for the throat. Therefore, for pores, it is necessary to multiply by the tubular to spherical scaling factor to convert the relaxation rate calibrated for the throat into the relaxation rate calibrated for the pore.
[0050] Step 6: Use the relaxation rate to... Figure 4 The T2 NMR spectrum of saturated oil was converted into a curve showing the size distribution of crude oil droplets within the entire pore structure of saturated oil, also known as the pore and throat crude oil size and distribution frequency curve. The results are shown in […]. Figure 8 The solid curve in the figure is shown. The shape factor is 2, and the relaxation rate is 0.317 μm / ms.
[0051] For example, with an oil saturation of 77.5%, it is approximated that the oil content in the throat accounts for 77.5% of the throat volume. The ordinate of the throat size distribution curve under saturated water conditions can be multiplied by 0.775 to obtain the crude oil size and distribution frequency curve in the throat under saturated oil conditions (i.e., the crude oil droplet size distribution curve within the throat, or the size and distribution frequency of crude oil within the throat). The results are shown in […]. Figure 8 The dashed curve in the figure is shown.
[0052] Figure 6 shows the pore and throat residual oil droplet size and distribution frequency curves in the residual oil state. Figure 8 Figure 7 shows the pore and throat residual oil droplet size and distribution frequency curves in the residual oil state. Figure 8 Figure 8 shows the pore and throat residual oil droplet size and distribution frequency curves in the residual oil state. Figure 9 Figure 9 shows the pore and throat residual oil droplet size and distribution frequency curves in the residual oil state. Figure 9 Figure 10 shows the pore and throat residual oil droplet size and distribution frequency curves in the residual oil state. Figure 9 As shown in Figure 10, the residual oil droplet or film radius in the throat is 0.04 μm to 1.5 μm, and the most numerous oil droplet corresponds to a radius of 0.4 μm. The residual oil droplet or film radius in the pore is 0.15 μm to 603 μm, and the most numerous oil droplet corresponds to a radius of 25.4 μm, which accounts for 2.78% of the total pore volume. Since the pore is the main storage space for oil in a low permeability reservoir, and the throat is the flow space for oil, the oil and water distribution in the pore is analyzed. Figure 10 Figure 11 shows the pore and throat residual oil droplet size and distribution frequency curves in the residual oil state. Figure 10 As shown in Figure 11, the oil distribution frequency is less than the pore distribution frequency in the range of a radius greater than 40 μm, indicating that the pore is not completely filled with oil, and the remaining space is occupied by water. Therefore, the oil signal in the large pore and the oil signal in the small and medium pores are superimposed, causing the oil frequency to be greater than the pore frequency in the range of a radius less than 40 μm. Figure 10 Figure 12 shows the pore and throat residual oil droplet size and distribution frequency curves in the residual oil state. Figure 14 Figure 13 shows the pore and throat residual oil droplet size and distribution frequency curves in the residual oil state.
[0053] Step 7: Convert the residual oil NMR T2 spectrum in Figure 6 to the pore and throat radius size and distribution frequency curves using the relaxation rate, i.e., the residual oil droplet size distribution curve in the residual oil state in the full pore, which can also be referred to as the pore and throat residual oil size and distribution frequency. The results are shown by the solid curve in Figure 7. The shape factor is 2, and the relaxation rate is 0.317 μm / ms. Figure 4 Figure 11 As an example, the residual oil saturation is 44.9%, so it is approximately considered that the oil content in the throat accounts for 44.9% of the throat volume. The vertical coordinate of the throat size and distribution frequency curve in Figure 6 (i.e., the throat size distribution curve in the water-saturated state) can be multiplied by 0.449 to obtain the residual oil droplet size distribution curve in the throat, and the results are shown by the dashed curve in Figure 7 (i.e., the throat residual oil size and distribution frequency in Figure 6).
[0054] As an example, the residual oil saturation is 44.9%, so it is approximately considered that the oil content in the throat accounts for 44.9% of the throat volume. The vertical coordinate of the throat size and distribution frequency curve in Figure 6 (i.e., the throat size distribution curve in the water-saturated state) can be multiplied by 0.449 to obtain the residual oil droplet size distribution curve in the throat, and the results are shown by the dashed curve in Figure 7 (i.e., the throat residual oil size and distribution frequency in Figure 6). Figure 7 Figure 11 As an example, the residual oil saturation is 44.9%, so it is approximately considered that the oil content in the throat accounts for 44.9% of the throat volume. The vertical coordinate of the throat size and distribution frequency curve in Figure 6 (i.e., the throat size distribution curve in the water-saturated state) can be multiplied by 0.449 to obtain the residual oil droplet size distribution curve in the throat, and the results are shown by the dashed curve in Figure 7 (i.e., the throat residual oil size and distribution frequency in Figure 6). Figure 11 As an example, the residual oil saturation is 44.9%, so it is approximately considered that the oil content in the throat accounts for 44.9% of the throat volume. The vertical coordinate of the throat size and distribution frequency curve in Figure 6 (i.e., the throat size distribution curve in the water-saturated state) can be multiplied by 0.449 to obtain the residual oil droplet size distribution curve in the throat, and the results are shown by the dashed curve in Figure 7 (i.e., the throat residual oil size and distribution frequency in Figure 6).
[0055] As an example, the residual oil saturation is 44.9%, so it is approximately considered that the oil content in the throat accounts for 44.9% of the throat volume. The vertical coordinate of the throat size and distribution frequency curve in Figure 6 (i.e., the throat size distribution curve in the water-saturated state) can be multiplied by 0.449 to obtain the residual oil droplet size distribution curve in the throat, and the results are shown by the dashed curve in Figure 7 (i.e., the throat residual oil size and distribution frequency in Figure 6).Figure 11 The residual oil size and distribution frequency in the pores and throats under the residual oil state are subtracted from the residual oil size and distribution frequency in the throats, and the resulting curve is multiplied by 3 / 2 to convert it into a residual oil droplet size distribution curve within the pores. Figure 12 The solid line in the middle (i.e. Figure 12 The size and distribution frequency of residual oil in the pores are shown in the figure. Figure 12 The size and distribution frequency of residual oil in the throat are also shown. Figure 12 It can be seen that the radius of residual oil droplets or oil films in the throat ranges from 0.04 μm to 1.5 μm, with the most numerous oil droplets corresponding to a radius of 0.4 μm, accounting for 0.42% of the total pore volume; the radius of crude oil droplets or oil films in the pores ranges from 0.15 μm to 318 μm, with the most numerous oil droplets corresponding to a radius of 11.29 μm, accounting for 1.58% of the total pore volume. Comparing the distribution of crude oil in the saturated oil state, the radius of the largest oil droplet decreased from 603 μm to 318 μm, indicating that after water flooding, the large oil droplets were completely or partially displaced from the core, and the remaining part became smaller oil droplets that remained in the core. Figure 13 The diagram shows the porosity and the size and distribution frequency of residual oil droplets within the pores under residual oil conditions. Figure 13 It can be seen that the radius and distribution frequency of the residual oil droplets both decreased, especially for oil droplets with a radius greater than 20 μm, which showed a larger decrease, indicating that the water drive mainly displaced the large oil droplets in the pores. Figure 15 This is a local viewpoint of the residual oil state, and... Figure 13 The combination allows for quantitative characterization of residual oil size and distribution.
[0056] For example, Figure 15 The residual oil distribution morphology is mainly due to large oil droplet residues caused by the Jamin effect and small blind-end oil droplet residues caused by the pore structure. Figure 13 Analysis shows that the residual oil is mainly composed of oil with a radius greater than 10μm, which is mainly large oil droplets remaining in the pores. Therefore, during the tertiary oil recovery period, emulsification should be the main method to drive out the large oil droplets in the pores.
[0057] The method described in the above embodiments, by combining constant-rate mercury injection and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments, jointly characterized the size and distribution of oil droplets in the initial saturated oil state and the size and distribution of residual oil droplets in the residual oil state after waterflooding. This solves the problem of quantitatively characterizing oil-water distribution during the development of low-permeability reservoirs, achieving quantitative characterization of oil-water distribution in both the initial and residual oil states. It provides a solid and reliable reference for formulating well placement plans, development parameters, and residual oil tapping schemes for efficient development in low-permeability reservoirs, and is of great significance for improving oil recovery in these reservoirs. Furthermore, this method has low operating costs, is computationally convenient, highly accurate, and widely applicable, making it suitable for large-scale application in various low-permeability oilfields.
[0058] The embodiment of the present specification also provides a method for quantitatively characterizing oil-water micro-distribution in a low-permeability oil reservoir. Please refer to Figure 16 , a flow chart of the method for quantitatively characterizing oil-water micro-distribution in a low-permeability oil reservoir in an embodiment of the present specification is shown. As Figure 16 indicated, the method for quantitatively characterizing oil-water micro-distribution in a low-permeability oil reservoir provided by an embodiment of the present specification can include the following steps.
[0059] In step S161, the first core is vacuumized and pressurized to be saturated with water, and a nuclear magnetic resonance test is performed to obtain a saturated water nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum; the second core is subjected to a constant-rate mercury injection experiment to obtain constant-rate mercury injection experiment data; wherein the first core and the second core are cores of a target reservoir of a low-permeability oil reservoir.
[0060] Specifically, the first core and the second core are cores in a target reservoir of a low-permeability oil reservoir. The first core is used for a nuclear magnetic resonance test, and the second core is used for a constant-rate mercury injection experiment. Due to the experimental requirements of the nuclear magnetic resonance test and the constant-rate mercury injection experiment, generally, the length of the first core is greater than the length of the second core. For example, the length of the first core can be greater than 5 cm, and the length of the second core can be 0.5 cm to 1 cm. For another example, a reservoir core with a length of 4.5 cm to 7.5 cm and a width of 2.5 cm can be prepared, the core is washed with oil, dried, and a short core with a length of 0.5 cm and a width of 2.5 cm is cut from one side of the core, and a long core is left. The long core is the first core, and the short core is the second core.
[0061] In an embodiment, the first core can be vacuumized and pressurized to be saturated with water, and the pressure applied is 17 MPa. The nuclear magnetic resonance test parameters are as follows: the radio frequency distribution range is 1-30 MHz, the control accuracy is 0.1 MHz, the echo time is set to 0.12 ms, the waiting measurement time is 1.125 s, and the scanning number is 64. The nuclear magnetic resonance test obtains a saturated water nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum. The second core can be used for a constant-rate mercury injection experiment, and the constant-rate mercury injection experiment equipment model is ASPPE-730, and the mercury injection rate is 6×10 -5 mL / min. The constant-rate mercury injection experiment obtains constant-rate mercury injection experiment data. The constant-rate mercury injection experiment data can include a pore size distribution frequency curve and a throat size distribution frequency curve in a saturated water state.
[0062] In step S162, the first core is dried, vacuumized, pressurized to be saturated with deuterium water, and then saturated with formation crude oil by displacement, and a nuclear magnetic resonance test is performed to obtain a saturated oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum.
[0063] Specifically, the first core can be dried at 105 DEG C for 10 hours, and after cooling, re-vacuumized and pressurized (17 MPa) to saturate deuterium water with a purity of 99.99%. Then, the core is saturated with formation crude oil by displacement method, with a displacement pressure of 17 MPa, a displacement pressure difference of 2 MPa, and a confining pressure of 19 MPa, until no water is produced at the outlet end in 30 consecutive minutes, and the core is aged at 52 DEG C and a pressure of 17 MPa for 600 hours. After aging, nuclear magnetic resonance test is performed again to obtain a saturated oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum. Since no hydrogen signal can be detected in the deuterium water saturated in the core before the saturated oil process, the hydrogen signal in the oil is detected after the nuclear magnetic resonance test.
[0064] In step S163, deuterium water is used to displace the first core, and nuclear magnetic resonance test is performed on the first core after displacement to obtain a residual oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum.
[0065] Specifically, the No. 1 core can be displaced with deuterium water under the conditions of 52 DEG C, a displacement pressure of 17 MPa, a displacement pressure difference of 2 MPa, and a confining pressure of 19 MPa, until no oil is produced at the outlet end in 30 consecutive minutes, and nuclear magnetic resonance test is performed again to obtain a residual oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum. At this time, the T2 spectrum obtained by nuclear magnetic resonance test reflects the resonance signal of residual oil.
[0066] In step S164, based on the constant-rate mercury injection experiment data, the saturated water nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, the saturated oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, and the residual oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, the oil-water micro-distribution characteristics of the target reservoir are determined.

The oil-water micro-distribution characteristics can include oil-water micro-distribution characteristic data of the reservoir in the saturated oil state and the residual oil state.
[0068] In the above embodiment, the constant-rate mercury injection and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments are combined to jointly represent the oil-water micro-distribution characteristics in the original saturated oil state and the oil-water micro-distribution characteristics in the residual oil state after water displacement, solving the problem that the oil-water distribution in the development process of low-permeability reservoirs is difficult to quantitatively represent, and realizing the quantitative representation of the oil-water distribution in the initial saturated oil state and the oil-water distribution in the residual oil state, which provides a solid and reliable reference for formulating well arrangement schemes, development parameters, and remaining oil tapping schemes for high-efficiency development of low-permeability reservoirs, and has great significance for enhancing the recovery of low-permeability reservoirs. In addition, the above method has low operation cost, convenient calculation, high accuracy, and strong applicability, and is convenient for wide application in low-permeability oilfields.

In this way, the oil droplet size distribution curve under the original saturated oil state and the oil droplet size distribution curve under the residual oil state after water flooding can be determined based on the constant-rate mercury injection experiment data and the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the constant-rate mercury injection experiment data can include a pore size distribution curve and a throat size distribution curve; accordingly, based on the constant-rate mercury injection experiment data and the saturated water nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, the relaxation rate parameter is determined, which can include: superimposing the pore size distribution curve and the throat size distribution curve to obtain a quasi-full pore size distribution curve; and using the left peak of the quasi-full pore size distribution curve to calibrate the saturated water nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum to determine the relaxation rate parameter. In this way, the relaxation rate can be calibrated using the constant-rate mercury injection experiment data and the saturated water nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum.

[0076] Each of the embodiments in the present specification is described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment mainly describes the difference from other embodiments. For specific description, refer to the description of the related processing embodiments described above, which will not be repeated here.

In some cases, the acts or steps recited in the claims can be performed in an order other than that described in the embodiments and still achieve desirable results. In addition, the processes depicted in the figures do not necessarily require the particular order shown or sequential order to achieve the desired results. In some embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing are possible or advantageous.
[0078] The embodiment of the present specification also provides a low-permeability oil reservoir oil-water micro-distribution quantitative characterization method. Although the present specification provides the method operation steps or device structures as shown in the following embodiments or drawings, more or fewer operation steps or module units can be included in the method or device based on conventional or non-inventive labor. In steps or structures that do not have necessary causality in logic, the execution order of these steps or the module structure of the device is not limited to the execution order or module structure shown in the embodiment description and the drawings of the present specification. When the method or module structure is applied to the actual device or terminal product, it can be sequentially executed or executed in parallel (for example, parallel processor or multi-thread processing environment, even distributed processing environment) according to the method or module structure shown in the embodiment or drawing.
[0079] Specifically, Figure 17 A flowchart of a low-permeability oil reservoir oil-water micro-distribution quantitative characterization method in an embodiment of the present specification is shown. As shown in Figure 17 The low-permeability oil reservoir oil-water micro-distribution quantitative characterization method provided by an embodiment of the present specification can include the following steps:
[0080] In step S171, the saturated water nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, the saturated oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, and the residual oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum of the first core are obtained.
[0081] In step S172, the constant-rate mercury injection experiment data of the second core are obtained, wherein the first core and the second core are cores in a target reservoir of a low-permeability oil reservoir.
[0082] The method in the embodiment can be applied to a computer device. The computer device can obtain the saturated water nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, the saturated oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, and the residual oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum of the first core. The computer device can also obtain the constant-rate mercury injection experiment data of the second core.
[0083] In one embodiment, the saturated water nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, the saturated oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, and the residual oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum of the first core and the constant-rate mercury injection experiment data of the second core can be obtained by a user through an input device.
[0084] In another embodiment, after the nuclear magnetic resonance device obtains the saturated water nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, the saturated oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, and the residual oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum of the first core, the saturated water nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, the saturated oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum, and the residual oil nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum of the first core can be automatically sent to the computer device.
[0085] The first core and the second core are cores in a target reservoir of a low-permeability oil reservoir. The first core is used for a nuclear magnetic resonance test, and the second core is used for a constant-rate mercury injection experiment. Due to the experimental requirements of the nuclear magnetic resonance test and the constant-rate mercury injection experiment, the length of the first core is generally greater than the length of the second core. For example, the length of the first core can be greater than 5 cm, and the length of the second core can be 0.5 cm to 1 cm. For another example, a reservoir core with a length of 4.5 cm to 7.5 cm and a width of 2.5 cm can be prepared, the core is washed with oil, dried, and a short core with a length of 0.5 cm and a width of 2.5 cm is cut from one side of the core, and a long core is left. The long core is the first core, and the short core is the second core.
[0086] In one embodiment, the first core can be vacuumized and saturated with water under pressure, and the pressure added is 17 MPa. The nuclear magnetic resonance test parameters are as follows: the radio frequency distribution range is 1-30 MHz, the control accuracy is 0.1 MHz, the echo time is set to 0.12 ms, the waiting measurement time is 1.125 s, and the scanning number is 64. The nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum of the saturated water is obtained by the nuclear magnetic resonance. The second core can be used for a constant-rate mercury injection experiment. The constant-rate mercury injection experiment equipment model is ASPPE-730, and the mercury injection rate is 6×10 -5 mL / min. The constant-rate mercury injection experiment data are obtained by the constant-rate mercury injection. The constant-rate mercury injection experiment data can include the pore size distribution frequency curve and the throat size distribution frequency curve under the saturated water state.
[0087] In one embodiment, the first core can be dried at 105°C for 10 hours, and after cooling, the core is vacuumized and saturated with deuterium water with a purity of 99.99% under pressure (17 MPa). Then, the core is saturated with formation crude oil by displacement, the displacement pressure is 17 MPa, the displacement pressure difference is 2 MPa, the confining pressure is 19 MPa, until no water is produced at the outlet end in 30 consecutive minutes, and the core is aged at 52°C and under a pressure of 17 MPa for 600 hours. After aging, the nuclear magnetic test is performed again to obtain the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum of the saturated oil. Since the hydrogen atom signal of the deuterium water saturated in the core before the saturated oil process cannot be detected, the hydrogen signal in the oil is detected by the nuclear magnetic test after the saturated oil.

It provides a solid and reliable reference for formulating well deployment schemes, development parameters and remaining oil tapping schemes for efficient development of low-permeability reservoirs, which has great significance for enhancing the recovery of low-permeability reservoirs.
