Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum extraction technology, specifically relating to a device and method for evaluating the online dynamic effect of CO2 huff and puff in heavy oil fields. Background Technology

[0002] my country possesses substantial and widely distributed heavy oil reserves, but the high viscosity of its crude oil increases the difficulty of extraction. With the continuous improvement of domestic oilfield extraction technology, heavy oil extraction has gradually become a key development focus for various oilfields. CO2, upon contact with formation heavy oil, rapidly dissolves in the crude oil, causing it to expand in volume, reduce viscosity, and improve fluidity. It can also extract and vaporize light hydrocarbons in the crude oil, achieving dissolved gas drive, improving interfacial tension and oil-water mobility ratio, and simultaneously possessing water shut-off, profile control, and acid plugging / unblocking effects. These characteristics all contribute to improving heavy oil recovery. Furthermore, CO2, as the most produced greenhouse gas in China's industrial sector, causes severe air pollution. CO2 huff and puffing in heavy oil fields can not only solve the CO2 sequestration problem, protect the atmospheric environment, and suppress the greenhouse effect, but also meet the needs of oilfield development, significantly improving reservoir recovery. Therefore, CO2 huff and puffing technology in heavy oil fields can both improve crude oil recovery and provide a solution for greenhouse gas consumption, representing an innovative approach to greenhouse gas emission treatment. Evaluation of CO2 huff and puff performance in heavy oil fields determines the potential of this technology and is key to its research and application. This includes research on oil displacement mechanism, huff and puff performance evaluation, huff and puff production component analysis, research on the variation law of production components at different stages of huff and puff, optimization of huff and puff injection and production parameters, determination of huff and puff well shut-in time, huff and puff cycle research, and pressure decay rate and pressure control methods during huff and puff.

[0003] To address the aforementioned research content, the current evaluation of CO2 huff and puff dynamics in heavy oil fields primarily relies on a combination of devices such as core displacement units, high-temperature and high-pressure reactors, gas chromatography, and liquid chromatography. However, these traditional CO2 huff and puff dynamics evaluation devices have the following drawbacks: (1) The sampling and detection of the produced gas is delayed, and there are errors in the sampling and detection; (2) The sampling and testing of produced crude oil is delayed, and there are errors in the sampling and testing. (3) Manual measurement is outdated and prone to errors; (4) The back pressure gradient problem caused by manual back pressure control during the back pressure flow-through process cannot truly simulate the linear decay process of formation pressure; (5) Pressure and temperature were manually controlled throughout the process, resulting in data lag and human error; (6) Unable to provide online feedback; (7) The produced gas is discharged into the atmosphere and cannot be collected; (8) Discontinuous and delayed sampling by human intervention; (9) Discontinuity and lag in operation and control caused by human intervention in the entire process of device operation and control.
