Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of oil and gas exploration, and particularly relates to a gas washing fractionation analysis device and method under a high-temperature and high-pressure closed system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Oil and gas exploration in some areas of China has reached a high exploration degree stage, and deep oil and gas exploration is gradually gaining attention. In the exploration of deep oil and gas, the source rock is generally highly evolved, reaching the stage of generating natural gas. During the migration of the generated natural gas, it passes through the oil reservoir, dissolves and carries away part of the oil components in the oil reservoir, which is called gas washing. Gas washing changes the composition of oil and natural gas and also changes the characteristics of oil and natural gas.

[0003] Identifying the characteristics of oil and gas and determining the source of oil and gas are of great guiding significance for deep oil and gas exploration. Carbon isotope technology of natural gas and oil is an important means for identifying the source of deep oil and gas. However, the gas washing process will form carbon isotope fractionation of oil and natural gas, changing the carbon isotope values of the original oil reservoir oil and natural gas. Therefore, studying the change process of carbon isotopes of oil and natural gas during the whole gas washing process is an important means for oil and gas source comparison in the gas washing process.

[0004] Su Aiguo et al. carried out related work in "Influence of phase control and gas washing fractionation on oil and gas components and carbon isotope composition" (Su Aiguo, Zhang Shuichang, Xiang Longbin, et al. Influence of phase control and gas washing fractionation on oil and gas components and carbon isotope composition [J]. Geochimica, 2000, 29(6): 7.). In the above process, the collected samples are the original and final state oil under normal pressure, while the oil in the underground oil reservoir is in a superpressure state. This method lacks an effective method for testing the isotopes of the oil under the above superpressure state. At the same time, the collection process of the above gas is a process of changing pressure, and during the pressure change process, the gas isotopes produce fractionation effect. The above method lacks an effective means for tracking the gas washing fractionation process.

[0005] There is a need for a device and method for gas washing fractionation analysis under a high-temperature and high-pressure closed system. SUMMARY
