Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a carbon dioxide storage technology field, in particular to an injection scheme optimization method and device for carbon dioxide storage in a saline aquifer. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of industry and the change of people's lifestyle, the rapid growth of CO2 emission has become a prominent problem in current social development. Vigorously developing carbon capture, utilization and storage technology (CCUS) is one of the main measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. CO2 geological storage is a technology that permanently stores CO2 in a supercritical state in underground storage bodies, and its storage mechanism mainly includes geological structure storage, dissolution storage, residual gas storage and mineralization storage, etc. The storage places mainly include depleted oil and gas reservoirs, non-mining value coal seams, saline aquifers and deep sea, etc. Among them, the saline aquifer has great storage potential, accounting for about 98% of the total geological storage capacity, and is the most promising place in the CO2 geological storage project. China has great CO2 storage potential in saline aquifers, with a CO2 storage capacity of about 2420 Gt, which is mainly distributed in the Tarim Basin, Songliao Basin, Bohai Bay Basin and Pearl River Mouth Basin, etc.
[0003] According to the CO2 storage mechanism of the saline aquifer, it is considered that the CO2 storage potential of the saline aquifer is composed of three storage mechanisms, namely, geological structure storage, residual gas storage and dissolution storage. First, in the process of CO2 injection into the saline aquifer, CO2 is distributed in the upper region of the reservoir due to its lower density than that of the saline water, and is captured and stored under the vertical and lateral blocking conditions of the geological structure, which is the geological structure storage. With the injection work, CO2 displaces the brine in the flow direction, but when the injection stops, the fluid flows in the reverse direction due to the density difference between CO2 and brine, so CO2 migrates upward and brine flows downward. The wetting phase (brine) enters the pore through the non-wetting phase (CO2), and in this process, part of the CO2 is wrapped in the brine and is captured and stored, which is the residual gas storage. In the following centuries, CO2 near the gas-water contact surface is continuously dissolved in the saline water, which is the dissolution storage. The total storage capacity of the saline aquifer is equal to the sum of the storage capacities of the geological structure storage, the residual gas storage and the dissolution storage.
[0004] However, in the existing calculation of CO2 storage capacity, only the storage capacity generated by various storage mechanisms is considered. In the CO2 storage process, the mechanical properties of the reservoir and the plume condition of CO2 also have a great influence on the CO2 storage effect, so the calculation result may have a large error. At the same time, this technology does not consider the stress condition of the reservoir and the stability of the stratum during the CO2 storage process, which may cause problems such as too large injection speed, stratum rupture, CO2 leakage and storage failure. SUMMARY
[0005] In the existing CO2 storage amount calculation technology, only the CO2 storage mechanism is considered, and the reservoir rock mechanics and the CO2 plume condition are ignored, so that problems such as reservoir rock rupture and CO2 leakage may occur during the gas injection process. The application provides an injection scheme optimization device and method for CO2 storage in saline aquifers considering reservoir stability.

[0026]
[0027] When multiple gas injection wells are operating simultaneously, the bottom pressure increment of a single gas injection well is:
[0028]

[0057] The method for calculating CO2 sequestration potential using the above-described apparatus and method includes the following steps:
[0058] (1) Calculate the maximum pressure increment of the reservoir: Rock failure mainly involves two types: tensile failure and shear failure. Therefore, the ultimate pressure increment ∆P of the reservoir rock is... M This is the smaller of the increments of ultimate tensile pressure and ultimate shear pressure. The mechanical parameters of the reservoir rock can be obtained through rock mechanics experiments: maximum principal stress (…). Minimum principal stress ( ),tensile strength( ), rock cohesion ( ), the normal stress on the rock ( ), rock internal friction angle ( This allows for the calculation of the ultimate pressure increment ∆P of the reservoir rock. M .
[0059] When the pore pressure is greater than the sum of the minimum principal stress and the tensile strength of the rock, the rock will be stretched along the plane perpendicular to the minimum principal stress. Limit tensile pressure increment The calculation formula is as follows:
[0060]
[0061] In the formula: Limit pressure increment of tensile failure, MPa; Minimum principal stress, MPa; Initial pressure, MPa; Tensile strength;
[0062] The shear failure of the rock is mainly based on the Mohr-Coulomb criterion. When the shear stress exceeds the sum of the cohesion and friction of the rock, the rock will be sheared, as follows:
[0063]
[0064] In the formula: Shear stress, MPa; Cohesion of rock, MPa; Normal stress of rock, MPa; Internal friction angle of rock, °.
[0065] When the rock failure occurs along the angle of 45° with the maximum principal stress, the limit shear pressure increment of shear failure The calculation formula is as follows:
[0066]
[0067]
[0068]
[0069] In the formula: Limit shear stress, MPa; Maximum principal stress, MPa; Internal friction angle of rock; C is the cohesion of rock.
[0070] (2) Install the experimental device and check the air tightness of the device:
[0071] Reservoir rock sample preparation method: in order to ensure that the artificial model and the actual saline layer reservoir have similar properties, the stone powder component of the pressed artificial core sample must be consistent with the target reservoir rock component, and the mesh number of the used stone powder is determined by the porosity and permeability of the macroscopic physical model. The screened stone powder is uniformly mixed with the curing agent, and the mixed material is placed in the simulation box of the model system according to the order of the sublayer. At the same time, the gas injection well is set during the placement process, and a pressure sensor and a CO2 concentration sensor are pre-embedded at the designed position for subsequent pressure increment and CO2 plume monitoring after the placement of each layer of stone powder is completed. The distribution is shown in Figure 4 Finally, the stone powder mixture in the mold is pressed into a shape after drying, and the preparation of the artificial rock sample is completed.
[0072] Prepare the formation water sample, and the salinity measurement standard shall comply with the standard "JY / T 020-1996". The formation water sample and the CO2 sample are respectively placed in the water storage tank and the gas storage tank.
[0073] (3) Gas injection experiment
[0074] First step, simulate the original state of the formation: open the valve 12, use the pressure pump 13 to inject the formation water from the water storage tank 2 into the simulation box 3, when the pressure in the simulation box 3 reaches and stabilizes at the original pressure P0 of the formation, close the pressure pump 13 and the valve 12, and stop the water injection work.
[0075] Second step, select one well in the middle of the simulation box 3 as the gas injection well, open the valve 9 and the pressure pump 10, and inject CO2 from the gas storage tank 1 into the simulation box 3 at a specified injection rate Q1 under the premise that the pressure increment ΔP does not exceed the limit pressure increment ΔP M , use the pressure sensor 7 and the CO2 concentration sensor 8 to monitor the pressure propagation distance R i and the CO2 plume radius r i in the simulation box 3 at different times Ti in real time, and record the data; after the experiment is completed, open the valve 15 to discharge the mixed fluid in the simulation box 3 to the waste liquid treatment tank 5.
[0076] Third step, change the injection rate to Q2, Q3, Q4…Q n , repeat the second step;
[0077] Fourth step, change the injection scheme, select different well numbers as the gas injection well, and perform the experiment according to the operation of the second and third steps.
[0078] (4) Through the recorded data, the pressure propagation distance R i and the CO2 plume radius r i and the time T i are established to obtain the regression curve of different injection rates Downward pressure propagation distance R i and CO2 plume radius r i as a function of time T i g(t) and f(t). Figure 5 is a CO2 plume schematic. In one embodiment, the resulting CO2 plume radius f(t) at the top of the reservoir as a function of injection time for different injection rates x is shown in Figure 6 . The CO2 plume radius f(t) at the bottom of the reservoir as a function of injection time for different injection rates y is shown in Figure 7 . The pressure propagation radius g(t) as a function of injection time for different injection rates Figure 8 .
[0079] (5) Calculation of CO2 storage potential:
[0080] From the superposition principle, the maximum pressure increase during injection always occurs at the bottom of the injection well. Therefore, under the assumption of no fractures and traps, in an open boundary reservoir, the precise relationship between the single well CO2 injection rate and the pressure increase at the bottom of the injection well, ∆P, for long injection times is as follows:
[0081]
[0082]
[0083] Further, when multiple injection wells are operating simultaneously, assuming that the CO2 plumes do not interfere with each other, the pressure increase at the bottom of an injection well is:
[0084]
[0085] When the reservoir boundary is closed, the above formula is modified as follows:
[0086]
[0087]
[0088] where: is the pressure derivative, m 2 / d; is the reservoir radius, m; K is the reservoir permeability, mD; is the reservoir porosity; is the fluid viscosity, mPa∙s; is the overall compressibility, MPa -1 .
[0089] The limit pressure increase ∆P calculated in the first step isM Substitute the formula above into Or , calculate the maximum injection time T when the limit pressure increment is reached M , and then calculate the maximum CO2 storage under this condition :
[0090]
[0091] According to the above method, the maximum CO2 storage under different injection schemes can be calculated .
[0092] By comparing the size of the value of each scheme , the maximum value is selected , the well number n and the injection rate corresponding to the maximum value are the optimal injection scheme under the premise of ensuring reservoir stability.
[0093] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any form. Although the present application has been disclosed as above with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above disclosed technical content without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present application, and any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the present application are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present application.
