Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field development engineering, and in particular relates to a nano-bubble oil displacement and burial storage integrated experimental device and method. Background Art
[0002] In oilfield development, the main displacement methods include polymer flooding, surfactant flooding, gas flooding, and miscible flooding. These methods primarily increase crude oil recovery by increasing the viscosity of the displacing phase or decreasing the viscosity of the oil phase, improving the mobility ratio, increasing the sweep coefficient, or improving interfacial properties to enhance oil washing efficiency. However, traditional displacement methods suffer from limited sweep range, high levels of residual oil in remaining pores, and environmental pollution. To further improve crude oil recovery, new displacement methods are needed. Traditional carbon storage methods primarily involve injecting high-purity carbon dioxide into formations, which is subject to problems such as gas crossflow and leakage. To further improve carbon storage quality, new methods are also needed.
[0003] Nanobubbles are bubbles with a diameter of less than 100 nm. They possess the following properties: their surface charge makes them less likely to aggregate in a dispersed phase, resulting in a stable system. Their internal pressure is higher than that of conventional bubbles, allowing them to dissolve more gas per unit volume. Their rupture triggers cavitation, releasing a large number of free radicals and the gases trapped within. Their large surface area provides strong adsorption capacity, and their high mass transfer efficiency accelerates chemical reactions. The excellent physical and chemical properties of nanobubbles make them a highly effective oil displacement agent and a highly efficient storage medium for gases such as carbon dioxide. Therefore, nanobubbles are being considered as a new oil displacement agent for oilfield development or as a storage medium for carbon sequestration. Currently, there is limited research on nanobubble oil displacement and storage, and the displacement and storage mechanisms are still unclear.
[0004] Therefore, in order to analyze the oil displacement mechanism and storage mechanism of nanobubbles, it is necessary to manufacture an integrated nanobubble oil displacement and storage experimental device, conduct nanobubble oil displacement and storage microscopic visualization experiments to analyze the displacement effects of nanobubbles with different gas sources, different dissolved gas amounts and different diameters, as well as the storage effects of different gas sources, and then determine the displacement mechanism of nanobubbles for crude oil and the storage mechanism of nanobubbles as a storage medium.

A high-speed camera is used to record images of the nanobubble water flooding at 0.5 PV, 1 PV, 1.5 PV, 2 PV and no injection.

The size distributions of the five groups of nanobubble water were determined using a nanoparticle tracking analyzer (NTA). Nanobubble water flooding experiments were conducted, and experimental images were obtained. The sweep coefficient, oil washing efficiency, and recovery factor when injected at 2PV were calculated and compared. The influence of the diameter of the nanobubble water on the flooding effect was analyzed.
[0027] In step S5, the retention state of gas in the microfluidic chip is obtained by a high-resolution microscope and a high-speed camera, and the storage amount is calculated based on the data obtained by the carbon dioxide content detection sensor A and the carbon dioxide content detection sensor B. The method includes: when the pores in the microfluidic chip are completely saturated with water, the high-resolution microscope is used to obtain the pores, and then 1PV of nanobubble water is injected at a flow rate of 0.01ml / min. When the injection is completed, the carbon dioxide content detection sensor B is used to measure the solubility of CO2 in the sample. Calculate the buried storage volume Q0:
