Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas reservoir engineering methods used in oil and gas field development, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for normalizing the calculation of fluid phase equilibrium parameters in porous media. Background Technology

[0002] Fluid phase state calculation plays a crucial role in fluid PVT analysis and fitting, reservoir numerical simulation, condensate gas reservoir development, CO2 flooding and storage, and other fields.

[0003] Conventional cubic equations of state (PR, SRK, etc.) are widely used in fluid phase calculations, and the fitted equations of state can usually accurately characterize the phase characteristics of fluids under large-space conditions (PVT reactors). However, the interaction between fluid molecules and the porous medium surface in porous media leads to significant differences in fluid phase characteristics compared to those under conventional large-space conditions.

[0004] In dense porous media, especially nanoscale porous media, the critical parameters of the fluid shift compared to the large space. The impact of this shift on phase characteristics should be considered in calculations. Heterogeneity is significant in porous media, particularly in shale where pore sizes range from 1 to 100 nm, a wide span. Different distribution patterns lead to variations in calculation results. Furthermore, the small pore radius and large capillary forces in dense porous media result in unequal pressures between the vapor and liquid phases, also affecting phase characteristics. Adsorption also exists in porous media, influencing fluid composition. The presence of adsorption layers reduces the effective pore diameter, further contributing to variations in phase equilibrium calculations, which also need to be considered.

[0005] Zhang Maolin (2004) found that adsorption lowers the dew point of condensate gas, while capillary force slightly increases it. Ma (2013) showed that in porous media, the critical temperature of the pure component increases, and the bubble point and dew point of the C1 / nC4 / nC8 mixture both increase, while the two-phase region shrinks; the shift in critical parameters has a greater impact on the heavier component. Jin (2013) found that in porous media, the bubble point of the C1-nC5 mixture decreases, while the lower dew point increases. He also found that capillary force lowers both the bubble point and lower dew point of the C1-nC5 mixture. Li Yuansheng (2015) found that when the pore throat diameter is less than 10 nm, the interaction between the pore throat and fluid molecules is significant; the smaller the pore throat, the more obvious the decrease in dew point pressure. In addition, capillary force lowers the dew point of the C1 / nC4 / nC8 mixture. Dong (2016) found that the adsorption layer increases capillary pressure, leading to a decrease in the bubble point and an increase in the dew point of the fluid; the effect is negligible when the pore size is greater than 100 nm; capillary force decreases with increasing pore size; furthermore, under porous media conditions, the dew point of Eagle Ford crude oil increases and the bubble point decreases, and the more similar the composition of the mixture, the smaller the effect of capillary force. Liu (2016) showed that adsorption has a greater impact than capillary force, with the bubble point of N2 / n-C4H10 mixtures increasing and the bubble point of CH4 / n-C4H10 mixtures decreasing; he also found that the pore size distribution affects the phase equilibrium calculation results. Lei (2017) found in his latest study that capillary force first increases and then decreases with increasing pore size, and the dew point pressure of Wolfcamp crude oil decreases in porous media.

[0006] Currently, there are relatively complete methods for calculating fluid phase states that take into account the influence of porous media. Specifically, based on the conventional cubic equation of state, the flash evaporation method calculates the phase state characteristics of fluids (oil and gas) under porous media conditions, taking into account the combined effects of capillary force, adsorption, critical parameter shift, pore size, and fluid composition.

[0007] The existing method can calculate the fluid phase equilibrium parameters within a given pore size. However, when considering the porous medium as a whole, there are multiple different pore sizes. In this case, the phase equilibrium parameters calculated for each pore size cannot represent the physical properties of the fluid in the entire porous medium. Therefore, a normalization calculation using scientific methods is required.
