Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil extraction, and in particular to a characterization method for breakthrough points in bio-nano-based unblocking and injection enhancement. Background Technology
[0002] The Bohai Oilfield has over 700 water injection wells, with as many as 400 requiring pressure reduction and injection enhancement operations annually. Therefore, the market demand for unblocking and injection enhancement systems is enormous. Low-permeability tight oil reservoirs are characterized by densely buried rocks, small pore throats, low porosity, and very poor permeability. During production, long-term water injection in wells leads to hydration and expansion of clay and other materials on the near-wellbore surface, causing scale buildup and throat blockage. This results in high injection pressure, difficulty in replenishing energy, and stagnation of recovery rates. To address the high injection pressure issue in actual production, conventional unblocking measures such as acidizing and micro-fracture are typically employed. However, after multiple rounds of these measures, the amount of rock particles that can be dissolved in the oil reservoir decreases, and the effectiveness of conventional unblocking measures gradually shortens.
[0003] In recent years, with the rapid development of nanotechnology, its application in oil extraction, particularly in areas such as pressure reduction and injection enhancement, and near-wellbore unblocking, has attracted considerable attention. As pressure reduction and injection enhancement agents and unblocking agents for water injection wells in low-permeability reservoirs, they have been extensively studied. Bio-nano unblocking agents possess properties such as fluid diversion and inhibition of secondary precipitation; however, these inhibitions are relative and cannot achieve 100% suppression. Therefore, in core simulation experiments and actual field experiments, a breakthrough point for the unblocking agent will emerge, characterizing the effective range of action of the bio-nano unblocking agent. Determining or predicting this breakthrough point during core experiments is crucial for the practical application of bio-nano unblocking agents in the field. However, currently, there is no corresponding method for characterizing this breakthrough point. Summary of the Invention

Except as described below, the process methods of this invention employ conventional methods or apparatus in the art. Unless otherwise specified, the terms and expressions used below have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art.
[0070] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the characterization method for breakthrough points of bio-nano-based unblocking and injection enhancement provided by this invention includes:
[0071] (1) The artificial rock core is cleaned, dried and then saturated.
[0072] (2) Using saturated simulated formation water or clear water displacement, the water drive pressure at a certain flow rate is tested to determine the porosity and permeability of the rock core.

[0074] (4) Flushing the pipes with simulated formation water, turning off the displacement device and letting it stand for a period of time before injecting the bio-nano-injection agent;
[0075] (5) Turn off the displacement device and let it stand for a period of time. Then inject formation water and test the water drive pressure at a certain flow rate to determine the porosity and permeability of the core.
[0076] (6) Divide the unblocking and linear flow model into a contaminated zone and an uncontaminated zone. Determine the contaminated skin coefficient according to Darcy's formula and the definition of the skin coefficient, and derive the relationship between fluid viscosity and pressure drop. Then determine the fluid viscosity in the contaminated zone and the fluid viscosity in the uncontaminated zone at any time.
[0077] (7) Based on the fitting relationship between pressure difference and the rising and falling phases of injected PV number and the relationship between the unblocking agent propulsion time and the injected PV number, the relationship between pressure difference and time during the core displacement reaction is derived;
[0078] (8) Determine the relationship between fluid viscosity and unblocking agent injection time based on the relationship between pressure difference and time during the core displacement reaction, so as to judge the best unblocking turning time and realize dynamic prediction of the turning breakthrough process.
[0079] In some preferred embodiments, the characterization method for the breakthrough point of bio-nano-unblocking and injection enhancement of the present invention includes the following core displacement experimental steps:
[0080] (1) Based on the reservoir characteristics of offshore oil fields, select artificial cores of appropriate length and permeability (such as...). Figure 2 The core samples were cleaned with chloroform-methanol and then dried in a 120°C oven. The dry weight was measured, and the diameter (d) and length (L) were determined, and the apparent volume was calculated. The core samples were then saturated in simulated formation water (20000 mg / L salinity) for 12 hours.
[0081] (2) Adopting such Figure 3 The core displacement simulation experimental apparatus shown involves placing the core in a core holder, applying ring pressure, and evacuating for 4 hours. An oven is then opened and set to 50℃ to simulate formation water / clear water displacement until a stable displacement pressure is reached. The water displacement pressure ΔP1 at a certain flow rate is measured to determine the core's pore volume and calculate porosity. The core permeability K0 is then calculated using Darcy's formula. This process ensures that ions in the simulated formation water / clear water are uniformly distributed within the core.
[0082] (3) Select KCl (3%) or NH4Cl (3%) to displace for a period of time until the displacement pressure is stable. Inject the bio-nano unblocking agent at a certain flow rate (0.5-1 mL / min), monitor the displacement pressure of the bio-nano unblocking agent in real time, and analyze the breakthrough point of the bio-nano unblocking agent based on the change of displacement pressure.
[0083] (4) After the bio-nano unblocking agent breaks through, flush the pipeline with simulated formation water (0.2-1 mL) and shut off the displacement device for 4-6 hours. Inject the bio-nano injection agent at a certain flow rate (0.5-1 mL / min);
[0084] (5) After shutting down the displacement device for 72 hours, inject formation water at a certain flow rate (0.5-1 mL / min) and test the water drive pressure ΔP2 at a certain flow rate. Use this to determine the pore volume of the core and calculate the porosity. Calculate the core permeability K1 according to Darcy's formula.
[0085] Further preferably, the core porosity calculation in steps (2) and (5) adopts the liquid saturation method. The principle is as follows:
[0086] Measuring core porosity (connected pore space) using the liquid saturation method involves a weighing analysis of pore volume, including the mass of a clean, dry rock sample, the mass of the core saturated with a liquid of known density, and the mass of the core immersed in a liquid identical to the saturating solution. Core porosity is calculated using the following formula:
[0087] φ=(mass of saturated core - mass of dry core) / (density of saturated liquid × volume of core) (1)
[0088] More preferably, similar to the core porosity determination method, the core permeability calculation in steps (2) and (5) adopts the liquid permeability method. Based on Darcy's formula, the effective permeability of the gas phase and the aqueous phase is calculated as follows:
[0089] K we =q w μ w L / A(P1-P2)×100% (2)
[0090] in:
[0091] q w —Water flow rate, expressed in mL / min;
[0092] μ w —The viscosity of water at the measured temperature, expressed in mPa·s;
[0093] L—The numerical value of the core length, in cm;
[0094] A—The numerical value of the cross-sectional area of the rock core, in cm² 2 ;
[0095] p1—The numerical value of the core inlet pressure, in MPa;
[0096] p2 — The numerical value of the core outlet pressure, in MPa.
[0097] (6) The decongestion relief model is divided into two parts: a contaminated zone and an uncontaminated zone, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 During the displacement process of the bio-nano unblocking agent, the core pressure initially increases, reaches a certain point, and then immediately declines, reaching a trough. The injection of the unblocking fluid creates a breakthrough point, i.e., the point where the pressure suddenly drops. (See...) Figure 5 .
[0098] The displacement in linear seepage cores exhibits a constant plunger rate, as shown in equation (3):
[0099] L s =α s ×t (3)
[0100] In the formula, α s t represents the speed of advance of the contaminated area, in cm / min; t represents time, in min.
[0101] Let the pore volume of the contaminated area be... The pore volume when the unblocking agent penetrates from the contaminated area to the uncontaminated area is: The formula for the average advance speed of the contaminated zone is as follows:
[0102]
[0103] In the formula, Φ0 is the initial porosity of the core, %; Q is the seepage propulsion flow rate, mL / min; and A is the unit cross-sectional area of the seepage flow, cm². 2 V p The pore volume multiple of the unblocking agent injected into the contaminated area, dimensionless.
[0104] The formula for the average advance velocity at the leading edge of the uncontaminated zone is as follows:
[0105]
[0106] In the formula, Φ0 is the initial porosity of the core, %; Q is the seepage propulsion flow rate, mL / min; and A is the unit cross-sectional area of the seepage flow, cm². 2 ; a is the average advancing velocity of the leading edge of the impedance zone, cm / min; L is the location of the leading edge of the uncontaminated zone, cm; V p This is the dimensionless multiple of the pore volume of the unblocking agent injected when it penetrates from the contaminated area to the uncontaminated area.
[0107] when At that time, the dimensionless directional pressure difference R p Set as:
[0108]
[0109] when At that time, the dimensionless directional pressure difference R p Set as:
[0110]
[0111] In the formula, ΔP s ΔP represents the displacement pressure difference of the core in the contaminated area, in MPa; ΔP represents the displacement pressure difference of the core in the uncontaminated area, in MPa.
[0112] Let the initial core viscosity be μ o If the fluid viscosity is μ when it breaks through from the contaminated zone to the uncontaminated zone, then according to Darcy's formula:
[0113]
[0114] Assuming the core length is L, the permeability of the uncontaminated zone is k, and the permeability of the contaminated zone is k... s The pollution depth is L s When a single-phase fluid undergoes unidirectional Darcy flow in a rock core, the core permeability distribution is as follows:
[0115]
[0116]
[0117] In the formula, (p i -p0) represents the formation pressure differential, MPa; μ is the fluid viscosity, mPa·s; A is the unit cross-sectional area of seepage, cm². 2 ;k s (x) represents the permeability of the polluted area, in mD.
[0118] From equation (9) and the definition of the skin coefficient, the contaminated skin coefficient can be obtained:
[0119]
[0120] Combining equations (7) and (10), we get:
[0121]
[0122] Multiplying both the numerator and denominator on the right side of the equation by AΦ, we get:
[0123]
[0124] In the formula, V s The volume of unblocking agent injected to break through the contaminated area, in cm 3 V represents the volume of unblocking agent injected at the inflection point of the pressure drop curve in the uncontaminated area, in cm³. 3 .
[0125] Divide both the numerator and denominator on the right side of the equation by V. p ,have to:
[0126]
[0127] Furthermore, it can be concluded that when At that time, the viscosity μ of the fluid in the contaminated area s for:
[0128]
[0129] Similarly, it can be deduced that when At that time, the viscosity μ of the uncontaminated area was
[0130]
[0131] The fluid viscosity of the contaminated and uncontaminated areas at any given time can be calculated using equations (14) and (15) based on the pressure drop value displayed on the monitor.
[0132] (7) During the unblocking and turning process, the pressure difference change depends on the combined effect of the viscosity and porosity change of the unblocking agent. The relationship curve between the pressure difference ΔP and the number of injected PVs ω needs to be fitted in two parts: the fitting curve of the rising stage in region II and the fitting curve of the falling stage.
[0133] The propulsion time t(s) of the unblocking agent is related to the number of injected PVs ω as follows:
[0134]
[0135] By combining the fitting equations of pressure difference ΔP and the injected PV number ω during the rising and falling phases, and the equations of the relationship between the unblocking agent propulsion time t(s) and the injected PV number, the relationship between pressure difference and time during the core displacement reaction can be obtained.
[0136] (8) The relationship between fluid viscosity and pressure drop is calculated by combining the relationship between pressure difference and time during the core displacement reaction, so as to determine the best time for unblocking and turning, and realize the dynamic prediction of the turning breakthrough process.
[0137] Example
[0138] The present invention is further illustrated below by way of embodiments, but the invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein. Experimental methods in the following embodiments, unless otherwise specified, are performed according to conventional methods and conditions.
[0139] The characterization method for breakthrough points of bio-nano-based unblocking and injection enhancement provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0140] (1) Based on the reservoir characteristics of offshore oil fields, artificial cores with a thickness of 6.0 cm and a permeability of 20.38 mD were selected. See Figure 2Core samples were cleaned with chloroform-methanol and then dried in a 120℃ drying oven. The dry weight was measured, and the diameter d and length L were measured to calculate the apparent volume. The core samples were then saturated in simulated formation water (20000 mg / L salinity) for 12 hours (see Table 1).

Open the oven, set the temperature to 50℃, saturate the simulated formation water / clear water displacement until the displacement stabilization pressure is reached, and test the water drive pressure ΔP1 at a certain flow rate. Use this to determine the pore volume of the core, calculate the porosity, and calculate the core permeability k0 according to Darcy's formula. Ensure that the ions in the simulated formation water / clear water are uniformly distributed in the core.
[0144] (3) Displacement was carried out with simulated formation water (0.5 mL / min) for a period of time. The experimental setup and principle are as follows: Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown in the figure. To achieve a stable displacement pressure, the bio-nano unblocking agent was injected at a flow rate (0.5 mL / min) in a ratio of 1:2 (w / w) to water, and the displacement pressure of the bio-nano unblocking agent was monitored in real time. The breakthrough point of the bio-nano unblocking agent was analyzed based on the changes in displacement pressure.
[0145] (4) Displace the material with KCl (3%) or NH4Cl (3%) for a period of time until a stable displacement pressure is reached. Inject the bio-nano unblocking agent at a certain flow rate (0.5 mL / min), monitor the displacement pressure of the bio-nano unblocking agent in real time, and analyze the breakthrough point of the bio-nano unblocking agent based on the changes in displacement pressure. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 ;
[0146] (5) After the bio-nano unblocking agent breaks through, flush the pipeline with simulated formation water (0.2-1 mL) and shut off the displacement device for 4-6 hours. Inject the bio-nano injection agent at a certain flow rate (0.5-1 mL / min);
[0147] (6) After shutting off the displacement device for 72 hours, inject formation water at a certain flow rate (0.5-1 mL / min) and test the water drive pressure ΔP2 at a certain flow rate. Use this to determine the pore volume of the core, calculate the porosity, and calculate the core permeability K1 according to Darcy's formula.
[0148] The graph showing the relationship between differential pressure and injected PV number needs to be fitted in two parts. The fitted curves for the rising phase and the falling phase in Region II are as follows:
[0149]
[0150] In the formula, ω represents the number of injected PVs. The propulsion time t(s) of the unblocking agent and the number of injected PVs ω are related as follows: Initial core pore volume V p =4.16cm 3 Q = 0.5 mL / min.
[0151] By combining the fitting equations of pressure difference ΔP and injected PV number ω during the rising and falling phases, and the equation of unblocking agent propulsion time t(s) and injected PV number, the relationship between pressure difference and time during the core displacement reaction can be obtained as follows:
[0152]
[0153] (7) Pore volume of the contaminated area It is 6.04cm 3 The pore volume when the unblocking agent penetrates from the contaminated area to the uncontaminated area. It is 8.89cm 3 .
[0154] The formula for the average advance speed of the contaminated zone is as follows:
[0155]
[0156] The formula for the average advance velocity at the leading edge of the uncontaminated zone is as follows:
[0157]
[0158] Displacement pressure difference ΔP in core samples from contaminated areas s The displacement pressure difference in the uncontaminated core area is 8.17 MPa; the displacement pressure difference ΔP in the uncontaminated area is 0.94 MPa.
[0159] Dimensionless directional pressure difference R p for:
[0160] The inflection point (S=0) of the pressure drop curve in the uncontaminated zone during the entire core displacement reaction process is the volume viscosity.
[0161]
[0162] By combining the relationship between fluid viscosity and pressure drop with the relationship between pressure difference and time during the core displacement reaction, the relationship between fluid viscosity and injection time is calculated as follows:
[0163]
[0164] The optimal turning point for unblocking was determined at t=75.4min, ultimately achieving dynamic prediction of the turning breakthrough process.
[0165] (8) Core displacement experiments (permeability = 20.38 mD) showed a very clear breakthrough point for the bio-unblocking fluid. After the bio-nano unblocking agent was injected, the pressure initially rose steadily, while the permeability of the core decreased accordingly, reaching a minimum of 5.87 mD. Subsequently, a breakthrough point appeared, the pressure difference between the two ends of the core decreased, the permeability recovered, and showed an increasing trend, with the highest permeability reaching 36.03 mD. Figure 6 In later studies on the optimization of injection parameters for the bio-nano unblocking and injection system, the pressure breakthrough point of the unblocking agent can be used as the main parameter indicator.
