[0041] Currently, with the rapid increase in human industrial activity, large amounts of CO2 are being released into the atmosphere, leading to the continuous accumulation of the greenhouse effect. This has ultimately led to a series of natural disasters, including global warming, glacier melting, and sea level rise, seriously endangering human life and safety. Therefore, how to deal with the increasing amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has become an urgent issue. Geological storage of CO2 is considered one of the most promising technologies for controlling CO2 emissions.

[0042] If CO2 geological storage technology is to be applied in practice, the fault sealing properties of the CO2 geological storage must be determined. However, the method for determining the fault sealing properties of CO2 geological storage differs from conventional methods, so a method for determining the fault sealing properties of CO2 geological storage is needed.

[0043] The inventors have discovered that in CO2 geological storage technology, the CO2 in the reservoir composed of CO2 is in a supercritical state. The viscosity of CO2 in the supercritical state is similar to that of gaseous CO2, and the density is similar to that of liquid CO2. In addition, the self-diffusion coefficient of CO2 in the supercritical state is 0.002. When a fracture occurs between the cap rock and the reservoir, the supercritical CO2 will enter the cap rock composed of clay mineral-rich shale and interact with the clay mineral-rich shale, causing the clay mineral-rich shale to expand. The expanded shale will close the fault formed when the fracture occurs between the reservoir composed of CO2 and the cap rock composed of clay mineral-rich shale. Fault closure can effectively seal the CO2 and prevent it from seeping. Therefore, when the lithology of the cap rock meets the preset conditions, the fault closure results in zero permeability of the fault, and the fault sealing property of CO2 geological storage is complete fault closure.

[0044] Based on the above analysis, this application proposes a method for determining the fault sealing property of CO2 geological storage and related devices. The application will be introduced in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for determining the sealing properties of a fault for CO2 geological storage provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the sealing property of a fault for CO2 geological storage provided in the embodiment of the present application specifically includes:

[0048] S10. Determine whether the lithology of the cap rock corresponding to the reservoir composed of CO2 meets preset conditions.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, it is necessary to determine whether the lithology of the cap rock corresponding to the CO2 reservoir meets the preset conditions. The preset conditions include that the lithology of the cap rock is shale and the clay mineral content in the shale is within the range of 65% to 85%.

[0050] It should be noted that, when it is determined in step S10 that the lithology of the cap rock corresponding to the reservoir composed of CO2 meets the preset conditions, the fault closure causes the permeability of the fault to be zero, and CO2 can be well sealed in the reservoir without penetration. Therefore, the fault sealing property of CO2 geological storage is complete fault closure; when it is determined in step S10 that the lithology of the cap rock corresponding to the reservoir composed of CO2 does not meet the preset conditions, step S20 is executed to calculate the difference in displacement pressure between the fault formed between the cap rock and the reservoir and the reservoir.

[0051] S20. Calculate the difference in displacement pressure between the fault formed between the cap rock and the reservoir and the reservoir.

[0052] In some embodiments, the key parameter for evaluating the closure of a fault for CO2 geological storage is the displacement pressure of the fault rock. Only when the displacement pressure of the fault rock exceeds the displacement pressure of the reservoir rock can the fault function as a lateral CO2 geological storage mechanism, i.e., the fault closure for CO2 geological storage is complete. When the displacement pressure of the fault rock is not greater than the displacement pressure of the reservoir rock, whether the fault functions as a lateral CO2 geological storage mechanism depends on the caprock thickness, reservoir thickness, and fault throw in the fault profile. The fault closure for CO2 geological storage is determined based on the numerical order of the caprock thickness, reservoir thickness, and fault throw.

[0053] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the difference in displacement pressure between the fault formed between the cap rock and the reservoir and the reservoir is calculated, and whether the difference in displacement pressure is greater than zero is used to judge the fault sealing quality of CO2 geological storage.

[0054] Specifically, the functional relationship between the displacement pressure of reservoir rock and the shale content and the burial depth of reservoir rock is established using experimental data, and recorded as the first functional relationship:

[0055]

[0056] Where p dr is the displacement pressure of reservoir rock, V shr is the mud content of reservoir rock, Z r is the burial depth of the reservoir rock, p and q are constants related to the area where the reservoir is located. It can be obtained by fitting the product relationship between the displacement pressure of the reservoir rock measured in the Qikou Sag and its compaction diagenetic burial depth and mud content. In actual application, the mud content of the reservoir rock can be obtained according to the natural gamma curve value, and the compaction diagenetic burial depth is the present burial depth.

[0057] Similarly, the functional relationship between the displacement pressure of fault rock and the mud content and the compaction diagenesis depth is established using experimental data, and recorded as the second functional relationship:

[0058]

[0059] Where p df is the displacement pressure of fault rock, V shf is the mud content of the fault rock, Z f is the burial depth of the fault rock, a and b are constants related to the area where the fault is located, which can be obtained by fitting the relationship between the displacement pressure of the fault rock measured in the Qikou Sag and the product of its compacted diagenetic burial depth and mud content.

[0060] The displacement pressure of the reservoir rock and the displacement pressure of the fault rock can be obtained respectively through the first functional relationship and the second functional relationship. The difference between the displacement pressures of the reservoir rock and the displacement pressure of the fault rock obtained by the first functional relationship and the second functional relationship can be obtained and recorded as the third functional relationship:

[0061] Δp=p df -p dr

[0062] Where Δp is the displacement pressure difference, p df is the displacement pressure of fault rock, p dr is the displacement pressure of the reservoir rock. It should be noted that, if the difference Δp between the displacement pressures of the fault rock formed between the cap rock and the reservoir rock and the reservoir rock calculated in step S20 is less than zero, the fault sealing property of the CO2 geological storage is complete fault sealing; if the difference Δp between the displacement pressures of the fault rock formed between the cap rock and the reservoir rock and the reservoir rock calculated in step S20 is not greater than zero, step S30 is executed. If the displacement pressure difference Δp is not greater than zero, the cap rock thickness, reservoir thickness, and fault throw are determined based on the fault profile of the normal fault and the reverse fault, and the fault sealing property of the CO2 geological storage is determined based on the numerical order relationship of the cap rock thickness, reservoir thickness, and fault throw.

[0063] S30. When the difference in displacement pressure is not greater than zero, determine the cap rock thickness, reservoir thickness, and fault throw based on the fault profile, and determine the fault sealing property of the CO2 geological storage based on the numerical ranking relationship among the cap rock thickness, reservoir thickness, and fault throw.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, when the difference in displacement pressure between the fault formed between the cap rock and the reservoir and the reservoir calculated in the above step S20 is not greater than zero, step S30 is executed. When the difference in displacement pressure is not greater than zero, the cap rock thickness, reservoir thickness and fault distance are determined based on the fault profile, and the fault sealing property of CO2 geological storage is determined based on the numerical ranking relationship of the cap rock thickness, reservoir thickness and fault distance.

[0065] In some embodiments, the cap rock thickness (C) and reservoir thickness (R) in the fault profile can be directly obtained based on the fault profile obtained by measuring the movement of the earth's crust, and the fault spacing (L) can be determined based on the spacing between the contact surfaces of the cap rock and the reservoir in the fault profile.

[0066] Specifically, since the fault plane formed after the cap rock and reservoir fracture will slide, the fault is divided into normal faults and reverse faults according to the sliding direction of the fault plane. A normal fault refers to a fault in which the upper wall of the fault drops relatively and the lower wall of the fault rises relatively after the fault is formed; a reverse fault is the opposite, which means that after the fault is formed, the upper wall of the fault rises relatively and the lower wall of the fault falls relatively.

[0067] Figure 2 The fault cross-section diagrams of normal faults and reverse faults provided in the embodiments of the present application are shown in FIG.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining the cap rock thickness (C), reservoir thickness (R) and fault spacing (L) based on the fault profile of the normal fault and the reverse fault, and determining the fault sealing property of CO2 geological storage based on the numerical ranking relationship of the cap rock thickness (C), reservoir thickness (R) and fault spacing (L).

[0069] It should be pointed out that Figure 2 The definition of a normal fault is that the fault and the stratum are in the same direction, and the dip angle of the fault plane is steep, usually above 45°. Figure 2 The numerical ranking relationships of cap rock thickness (C), reservoir thickness (R), and fault spacing (L) for six different normal faults are shown; Figure 2 The definition of a reverse fault in the literature is that the fault and the stratum are in the opposite direction, and the dip angle of the fault plane is relatively gentle, usually below 45°. Figure 2 The CPC also shows the numerical ranking relationship between the cap rock thickness (C), reservoir thickness (R) and fault spacing (L) of six different reverse faults.

[0070] It should also be noted that according to Figure 2 The numerical ranking relationships of cap rock thickness (C), reservoir thickness (R) and fault spacing (L) of six different normal faults and the numerical ranking relationships of cap rock thickness (C), reservoir thickness (R) and fault spacing (L) of six different reverse faults are shown in the figure to determine the fault sealing properties of CO2 geological storage of normal faults and reverse faults.

[0071] Figure 3 2 shows a schematic diagram of classifying fault sealing properties based on fault determination indicators provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0072] like Figure 3As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the fault closure of CO2 geological storage is divided into three categories, namely Class I, Class II and Class III, where Class I represents that the fault closure of CO2 geological storage is completely closed, Class II represents that the fault closure of CO2 geological storage is partially closed, and Class III represents that the fault closure of CO2 geological storage is not closed.

[0073] from Figure 3 It can be seen from the figure that the fault sealing property of CO2 geological storage represented by Class I is that the fault is completely sealed and the requirements are that the cap rock thickness (C) is greater than the fault spacing (L) and greater than the reservoir thickness (R). Regardless of whether it is a normal fault or a reverse fault, as long as the fault determination index meets the conditions that the cap rock thickness (C) is greater than the fault spacing (L) and greater than the reservoir thickness (R), such a fault is considered to be Class I and the fault sealing property of CO2 geological storage represented by Class I is completely sealed.

[0074] from Figure 3 It can also be seen that Category II represents partially sealed faults for CO2 geological storage. Normal faults and reverse faults each have two fault determination indicators. However, both require that the caprock thickness (C) be greater than the fault spacing (L). It should be noted that for Category II, partially sealed normal faults, the caprock thickness (C) must be greater than the reservoir thickness (R) and greater than the fault spacing (L), or the reservoir thickness (R) must be greater than the caprock thickness (C) and greater than the fault spacing (L). For reverse faults, the caprock thickness (C) must be greater than the reservoir thickness (R) and greater than the fault spacing (L), or the reservoir thickness (R) must be greater than the caprock thickness (C) and greater than the fault spacing (L). Similarly, for reverse faults, the caprock thickness (C) must be greater than the reservoir thickness (R) and greater than the fault spacing (L), or the reservoir thickness (R) must be greater than the caprock thickness (C) and greater than the fault spacing (L).

[0075] from Figure 3 It can also be seen that Class III represents the fault sealing of CO2 geological storage, which is the fault without sealing. There are three fault determination indicators for normal faults and reverse faults respectively. However, whether it is the fault determination indicator of normal faults or the fault determination indicator of reverse faults, the fault spacing (L) must be greater than the cover rock thickness (C). It should be noted that in normal faults of type III, which represent fault sealing for CO2 geological storage, the fault spacing (L) must be greater than the cap rock thickness (C) and greater than the reservoir thickness (R), or the reservoir thickness (R) must be greater than the fault spacing (L) and greater than the cap rock thickness (C), or the fault spacing (L) must be greater than the reservoir thickness (R) and greater than the cap rock thickness (C). In reverse faults, the fault spacing (L) must also be greater than the cap rock thickness (C) and greater than the reservoir thickness (R), or the reservoir thickness (R) must be greater than the fault spacing (L) and greater than the cap rock thickness (C), or the fault spacing (L) must be greater than the reservoir thickness (R) and greater than the cap rock thickness (C).
