Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gas reservoir type gas storage, and in particular to a gas-liquid multiphase seepage physical simulation experimental system for gas reservoir type gas storage. Background Art

[0002] Natural gas underground storage is an important infrastructure to ensure national energy security, and gas reservoir type storage is the main type of underground gas storage in my country. my country's gas reservoir storage generally has a complex edge and bottom water system, and the complex fluid distribution caused by gas-liquid mutual drive directly affects the storage capacity, injection and production efficiency, and gas injection safety.

[0003] The geological structure of gas storage is complex, and the sealing performance and dynamic evolution of the gas storage have a huge impact on the site selection, construction, and safe operation and maintenance of the gas storage. The sealing performance of the gas storage trap is an important factor in the safe operation of the gas storage. The strong injection and strong production of the gas storage cause periodic disturbances in the ground stress, resulting in large changes in the force of the trap, which is easy to cause dynamic changes in the sealing performance. The main reason for the tension and shear failure of the gas storage trap (including the cap rock and fault) is the rapid change in the formation pressure during the injection and production process and the resulting changes in the underground stress field in the reservoir area.

[0004] In addition, the injection and production process of gas storage wells is very different from that of conventional oil and gas reservoir development wells. The injection and production pipes have to bear alternating loads for a long time during the injection and production process. The high-intensity injection and production of natural gas causes the gas storage injection and production pipes to be subjected to additional loads such as swelling, temperature, formation expansion and contraction. Under complex injection and production conditions, the sealing and safety of the reservoir wellbore and its cement ring will be seriously threatened. At the same time, complex conditions in the reservoir wellbore may also cause safety issues such as wellbore deformation, collapse, sanding in the wellbore, and fluid channeling, which is crucial to the construction and operation of the reservoir.

[0005] However, effective prediction theories and methods for the sealing of gas storage faults, caprocks, wellbores and reservoirs have not yet been established at home and abroad. Therefore, it is urgent to overcome the bottleneck problem of dynamic sealing evaluation of gas reservoir-type gas storage under strong injection and production alternating loads, so as to guide the scientific site selection and scheme design of gas storage.

During the experiment, the rock sample is subjected to confining pressure loading by means of an oil bath, and the main pressure chamber 111 is heated by the heating rods 121 provided on the main pressure chamber 111, thereby heating the oil and transferring the heat to the rock sample. The main pressure chamber 111 is wrapped with a flexible insulation sleeve 122 to insulate and temperature compensate the entire main pressure chamber 111, and can provide a maximum test temperature of 200°C. It is equipped with a temperature compensation and control system to achieve good heating and constant temperature performance.
