Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas development technology, specifically to a method and apparatus for determining the wettability of shale oil reservoirs, as well as a method, processor, and storage medium for optimizing the amount of fluid injected into the ground and the well shut-in time in shale oil development. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, unconventional oil and gas resources, mainly shale oil and shale gas, have gradually become the main force driving oil and gas production growth both domestically and internationally. However, compared with conventional oil reservoirs, shale oil reservoirs have poorer physical properties, and conventional water injection for energy replenishment is no longer suitable for the exploitation of such reservoirs.
[0003] Currently, the main development method for shale oil is through volumetric fracturing of horizontal wells. The fluid injected into the well not only creates fractures but also serves to replenish energy through infiltration. Excessive fluid injection leads to longer oil breakthrough periods, larger flowback volumes, and higher water cuts after normal production, wasting water resources and increasing operating costs. Insufficient fluid injection may result in insignificant energy replenishment. Furthermore, prolonged well shut-in time can cause excessive pressure diffusion, affecting the contribution of new wells to oil production that year. Conversely, insufficient well shut-in time results in inadequate infiltration and replacement of the shale oil reservoir, impacting energy replenishment and displacement. Therefore, a reasonable fluid injection volume and shut-in time are crucial factors influencing the effectiveness of shale oil development.
[0004] The current challenges in optimizing the amount of fluid injected and the well shut-in time in shale oil horizontal well development mainly stem from the inability to accurately characterize the wettability of shale oil reservoirs.
[0005] Existing indoor evaluation methods for shale oil reservoir wettability have three main problems:
[0006] Firstly, domestic and international wettability evaluation standards mainly target medium- to high-permeability shale oil reservoirs, lacking a unified standard for wettability evaluation of tight shale oil reservoirs. Currently, there are two industry-standard quantitative wettability evaluation methods: the self-absorption method (Amott method) (Amott, 1959) and the centrifugal method (USBM method) (Donaldson et al, 1969). The self-absorption method results in low self-absorption of shale oil, making measurement difficult; furthermore, displacement is challenging, with oil-water and water-oil displacement processes being time-consuming and unlikely to achieve the required bound water state, leading to large errors in test results and a lack of consistency. The centrifugal method, due to centrifugal force limitations, is even less suitable for tight, low-permeability shale oil reservoirs.
[0007] Secondly, due to the complexity of shale oil rock minerals, the rock surface has mixed wettability characteristics, making it difficult to use the conventional wettability classification method of strong oleophilic, oleophilic, weak oleophilic, neutral, weak hydrophilic, hydrophilic, and strong hydrophilic.
[0008] Third, the shale oil production mechanism is generally considered to be the displacement of oil from small pores to large pores through adsorption, and then the oil flows into the artificial fracture system under the action of displacement pressure differential and is extracted. Different pore sizes play different roles in the shale oil production process; therefore, quantitatively evaluating the differences in wettability at different pore sizes is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0099] S140: Based on the first correspondence, the second correspondence and the third correspondence, compare the signal intensity increment S1 of the rock sample in the saturated water state with the dry state and the signal intensity increment S2 of the rock sample in the saturated oil state with the dry state under the same pore radius, and determine the hydrophilicity and oleophilicity of the shale oil reservoir under the pore radius.
[0100] S150: Determine the wettability of the shale oil reservoir based on the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir and the hydrophilicity and oleophilicity of the shale oil reservoir under different pore radii.
[0101] In this embodiment of the invention, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir can be determined through steps S110 and S120, and the hydrophilic and oleophilic properties of the shale oil reservoir under different pore radii can be determined through steps S130 and S140. The average wettability reflects the macroscopic wettability of the shale oil reservoir, while the hydrophilic and oleophilic properties of the shale oil reservoir under different pore radii reflect the microscopic hydrophilic and oleophilic properties of the shale oil reservoir under different pore radii. This embodiment of the invention combines the average wettability and the hydrophilic and oleophilic properties of the shale oil reservoir under different pore radii to determine the wettability of the shale oil reservoir, which can reflect the wetting characteristics of oil and water in the shale oil reservoir from multiple dimensions, making the assessment more comprehensive.

[0109] When -1 < I1 ≤ -a, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is oleophilic;
[0110] When a < I1 ≤ 1, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is hydrophilic.
[0111] More preferably, when -1 < I1 ≤ -a, if -1.0 < I1 ≤ -0.5, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is classified as oleophilic, and if -0.5 < I1 ≤ -a, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is classified as mixed wettability with a slight oleophilic tendency.
[0112] When a < I1 ≤ 1, if a < I1 ≤ 0.5, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is classified as mixed wettability with a slight hydrophilicity; if 0.5 < I1 ≤ 1.0, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is classified as hydrophilic.
[0113] 4) Obtain the water absorption rate and oil absorption rate of the rock sample, and determine the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir based on the water absorption rate and oil absorption rate;
[0114] 5) For example, the method first obtains the weight of the rock sample before it absorbs water, the weight of the rock sample when it is saturated with water, the time required for the rock sample to reach the saturated water state, the weight of the rock sample before it absorbs oil, the weight of the rock sample when it is saturated with oil, and the time required for the rock sample to reach the saturated oil state.
[0115] Furthermore, the water absorption rate of the rock sample is calculated based on its weight before self-absorption of water, its weight when saturated with water, and the time required for the rock sample to reach saturation with water; the oil absorption rate of the rock sample is calculated based on its weight before self-absorption of oil, its weight when saturated with oil, and the time required for the rock sample to reach saturation with oil.
[0116] Finally, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is determined based on the water absorption rate and oil absorption rate of the rock samples.
[0117] Specifically, the ratio of the water absorption rate to the oil absorption rate of the rock sample is used as the oil and water absorption rate index I2 of the shale oil reservoir;
[0118] When 0.75 < I2 ≤ 1.0, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is mixed wettability;
[0119] When I2 < 0.5, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is oleophilic;
[0120] When 0.5 < I2 ≤ 0.75, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is mixed wettability with a slight oleophilic tendency;
[0121] When 1.25 < I2, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is hydrophilic;
[0122] When 1.0 < I2 ≤ 1.25, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is mixed wettability with a slight hydrophilic tint.
[0123] 6) Obtain the water saturation, oil saturation, water absorption rate, and oil absorption rate of the rock sample. Based on the water saturation, oil saturation, water absorption rate, and oil absorption rate of the rock sample, determine the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir.
[0124] For example, the method first obtains the weight of the rock sample before it absorbs water, the weight of the rock sample when it is saturated with water, the pore volume of the rock sample after it absorbs water, and the time required for the rock sample to reach the saturated water state, as well as the weight of the rock sample before it absorbs oil, the weight of the rock sample when it is saturated with oil, the pore volume of the rock sample after it absorbs oil, and the time required for the rock sample to reach the saturated oil state.
[0125] Furthermore, based on the weight of the rock sample before self-absorption of water, the weight of the rock sample in a water-saturated state, the pore volume of the rock sample after self-absorption of water, and the time required for the rock sample to reach a water-saturated state, the water saturation and water absorption rate of the rock sample in a water-saturated state are calculated; based on the weight of the rock sample before self-absorption of oil, the weight of the rock sample in an oil-saturated state, the pore volume of the rock sample after self-absorption of oil, and the time required for the rock sample to reach an oil-saturated state, the oil saturation and oil absorption rate of the rock sample in an oil-saturated state are calculated.
[0126] Finally, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is determined based on the water saturation, oil saturation, water absorption rate, and oil absorption rate of the rock samples.
[0127] Specifically, the difference between the water saturation and oil saturation of the rock sample can be used as the oil and water saturation index I1 of the shale oil reservoir; the ratio of the water absorption rate to the oil absorption rate of the rock sample can be used as the oil and water absorption rate index I2 of the shale oil reservoir; and the ratio of the oil and water saturation index I1 to the oil and water absorption rate index I2 of the shale oil reservoir can be used as the wetting strength index I of the shale oil reservoir. Based on the wetting strength index I, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir can be determined.

[0131] When 0.50 < I, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is hydrophilic;
[0132] When 0.10 < I ≤ 0.50, the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir is mixed wettability with a slight hydrophilic symmetry.
[0133] The following describes the calculation methods for water saturation, oil saturation, water absorption rate, and oil absorption rate in the three embodiments described above.

[0146] In step S130, when obtaining the first correspondence between pore radius and signal intensity in the dry state of the rock sample, the second correspondence between pore radius and signal intensity in the saturated water state, and the third correspondence between pore radius and signal intensity in the saturated oil state, the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectra of the rock sample in the dry state, the saturated water state, and the saturated oil state can be obtained respectively; wherein, the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 spectrum represents the relationship between T2 value and signal intensity; then, based on the relationship between T2 value and signal intensity, and the conversion relationship between T2 value and pore radius, the first correspondence between pore radius and signal intensity in the dry state of the rock sample, the second correspondence between pore radius and signal intensity in the saturated water state, and the third correspondence between pore radius and signal intensity in the saturated oil state are obtained.
[0147] In step S140, based on the first correspondence, the second correspondence, and the third correspondence, the signal intensity increment S1 of the rock sample in the saturated water state compared to the dry state and the signal intensity increment S2 of the rock sample in the saturated oil state compared to the dry state under the same pore radius are compared. When determining the hydrophilicity and oleophilicity of the shale oil reservoir under the pore radius, the signal intensity increment S1 of the rock sample in the saturated water state compared to the dry state can be greater than the signal intensity increment S2 of the rock sample in the saturated oil state compared to the dry state, and it can be determined that the hydrophilicity of the shale oil reservoir under the pore radius is greater than its oleophilicity.
[0148] If the signal intensity increment S1 of the rock sample in the saturated water state is not greater than the signal intensity increment S2 of the rock sample in the saturated oil state compared to the dry state, it is determined that the oleophilicity of the shale oil reservoir under this pore radius is greater than its hydrophilicity.

[0150] The inventors of this application have discovered that dry rocks can spontaneously absorb fluids (water and oil) under capillary pressure. Due to differences in the mineral composition of the rock, the organic matter content in the pores, the structure of the pore throats, and external conditions, the amount of oil and water spontaneously absorbed, as well as the rates of spontaneous oil and water absorption, vary. This invention provides a method for determining the wettability of shale oil reservoirs by comprehensively considering the self-absorbed water and oil volume, as well as the water and oil absorption rates, under the capillary force of the rock itself. Based on the self-absorbed water and oil volume, water absorption rate, and oil absorption rate, the method evaluates the differences in wettability among different shale oil reservoirs. Through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology, the method analyzes the distribution of oil and water in rock samples with different pore sizes, further quantifying the influence of different pore sizes on the self-absorbed water and oil volume, providing a theoretical basis for optimizing the reasonable amount of fluid injected into shale oil horizontal wells and the well-closing time.
[0151] The following examples illustrate the method for determining the wettability of shale oil reservoirs.
[0152] In the example, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the experimental apparatus provided in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0153] First, experimental samples were prepared. Core samples from the target shale oil reservoir were drilled in their original state without washing the oil, resulting in columnar sections with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of 3.0 cm. It was recommended that the core samples from the target well's shale oil reservoir be freshly retrieved from the well bottom, as this minimizes the loss of organic matter and preserves the original state of the shale oil reservoir. If fresh core samples were unavailable, existing core samples could be subjected to pressurized saturated aging treatment, followed by immersion in simulated oil (simulated oil: oil used in the experiment, prepared according to the People's Republic of China Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry Standard SY-T 5345-2007, Method for Determination of Two-Phase Relative Permeability in Rocks) for at least one week.
[0154] Then, cut experimental samples (hereinafter referred to as samples) with a length of 0.5-0.7 cm and place them in an oven to dry at a low temperature of 50°C for at least 2 hours. After the drying time is longer than 2 hours, weigh the samples with a balance, weighing them once every 30 minutes. When the sample weight change is less than 1‰, the drying process is over. Remove the samples and place them in a desiccator for experimental use.
[0155] Further, the sample was removed from the desiccator and weighed using a balance. The weight W1 was recorded. Then, the sample was subjected to the first nuclear magnetic resonance test to obtain the T2 spectrum data of the sample background (the nuclear magnetic resonance test was conducted in accordance with the People's Republic of China Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry Standard SY / T 6490-2007).
[0156] Further, the sample after the first test was placed in a wide-mouth bottle, and simulated water was added (simulated water: water used in the experiment, prepared according to the People's Republic of China Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry Standard SY-T 5345-2007 Method for Determination of Relative Permeability of Two Phases in Rocks), and the density ρ of the simulated water was tested. w Then, the self-absorption process of the sample was initiated (self-absorption process: the process of filling the sample with simulated water through capillary force). During the self-absorption process, the sample weight W was measured and recorded every 10 minutes using a balance. wi and time T wi Before each weighing, the surface water of the sample must be wiped away with a damp gauze, and there should be no obvious water droplets on the sample. The self-absorption process ends when the self-absorption time is greater than 72 hours and the sample weight change is less than 1‰. Then, a second NMR test is performed to obtain the T2 spectrum data of the self-absorption of the test sample (NMR testing is conducted according to the People's Republic of China Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry Standard SY / T 6490-2007). The T2 spectrum data obtained from the first and second NMR tests are plotted as an NMR spectrum of the aqueous phase, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown. After water absorption is complete, the pore volume of the sample is measured and recorded.
[0157] Further, the sample that has completed the second NMR test was soaked in water for 2 hours. After soaking, the sample was wiped dry and placed in an oven at a low temperature of 50°C for at least 2 hours. After the drying time exceeded 2 hours, the sample was weighed using a balance every 30 minutes. The drying process was considered complete when the sample weight change was less than 1‰. The sample was then removed and placed in a desiccator for experimental use.
[0158] Further, the sample was removed from the desiccator, weighed, and the weight W2 was recorded. The sample was then placed in a wide-mouth bottle, simulated oil was added, and the density ρ of the simulated water was tested. o The self-aspiration oil process of the sample begins (self-aspiration oil process: the process of filling the sample with simulated oil through capillary force). During the self-aspiration oil process, the sample weight W is measured and recorded every 10 minutes using a balance. oi and time T oi Before each weighing, the surface oil of the sample must be wiped away with a damp gauze, and there should be no obvious oil droplets on the sample. The self-absorption process ends when the self-absorption time is greater than 72 hours and the sample weight change is less than 1‰. Then, a third NMR test is performed to obtain the T2 spectrum data of the self-absorption oil in the test sample (NMR testing is conducted according to the People's Republic of China Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry Standard SY / T 6490-2007). The T2 spectrum data obtained from the first and third NMR tests are plotted as the T2 spectrum of the oil phase, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown.
[0159] A comparison curve of the T2 spectrum of the self-absorbing water and self-absorbing oil experiments was plotted by combining the T2 spectrum data obtained from the first, second and third NMR tests (see...). Figure 5 Using the T2 spectrum data obtained from the first, second, and third nuclear magnetic resonance tests, we plotted the T2 spectrum comparison curves of the self-absorbing water and self-absorbing oil experiments, and calculated the signal intensity increment S1 of the rock sample in the saturated water state compared to the dry state, and the signal intensity increment S2 of the rock sample in the saturated oil state compared to the dry state.
[0160] Further, the sample after the third NMR test is placed in an oil washing apparatus for oil washing (the process must be performed according to the People's Republic of China Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry Standard SY-T 5336-2006 Core Analysis Methods). Care must be taken to prevent the sample from shedding any residue during the oil washing process. After oil absorption is complete, the pore volume V of the sample is measured. P2 And record it.
[0161] Further, the water saturation, oil saturation, water absorption rate, and oil absorption rate of the sample were calculated. (1) Water saturation: the proportion of water in the pore volume.

[0188] S wn —Water saturation of the sample at the end of the self-absorption process; Son —The oil saturation of the sample at the end of the self-absorption process; I1—the oil and water saturation index.
[0189] The wettability of the sample was determined using the oil and water saturation index I1.
[0190] When -1.0 < I1 ≤ -0.5, the wettability of the sample is oleophilic; when -0.5 < I1 ≤ -0.1, the wettability of the sample is mixed wetting with a slight oleophilic tendency; when -0.1 < I1 ≤ 0.1, the wettability of the sample is mixed wetting; when 0.1 < I1 ≤ 0.5, the wettability of the sample is mixed wetting with a slight hydrophilic tendency; when 0.5 < I1 ≤ 1.0, the wettability of the sample is hydrophilic.

[0202] (11) (8) Determine the hydrophilicity and oleophilicity of shale oil reservoirs with different pore radii:
[0203] like Figure 5 As shown, when S1≥S2, it is considered that the hydrophilicity is greater than the oleophilicity under this pore radius. The left boundary of the pore radius interval is the pore radius value when the current oil-water reversal occurs, and the right boundary is the pore radius value when the next oil-water reversal occurs (oil-water reversal: the relative size of S1 and S2 changes). All intervals of pore radii where the hydrophilicity is greater than the oleophilicity are statistically grouped together.
[0204] When S1≤S2, it is determined that the oleophilic ability is greater than the hydrophilic ability under this interval of pore radius. The left boundary of the interval of pore radius is the pore radius value when the current oil-water reversal occurs, and the right boundary is the pore radius value when the next oil-water reversal occurs (oil-water reversal: the relative size of S1 and S2 changes). All intervals of pore radius where the oleophilic ability is greater than the hydrophilic ability are statistically grouped together.
[0205] Figure 8 is formed using the T2 spectrum data from the first to the third nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tests. Based on the data in Figure 8, we can obtain:
[0206] The range of pore radii where hydrophilicity is greater than oleophilicity includes:
[0207] [0.0002, 0.0007], [1.0966, 1.6667];
[0208] The range of pore radii where the oleophilicity is greater than the hydrophilicity includes:
[0209] [0.0008, 0.9537], [1.9163, 10.2265];
[0210] In summary, the average wettability of Y60 samples is oleophilic. The pore radii in which the hydrophilicity is greater than the oleophilicity are: [0.0002, 0.0007] and [1.0966, 1.6667]; the pore radii in which the oleophilicity is greater than the hydrophilicity are: [0.0008, 0.9537] and [1.9163, 10.2265].
[0211] The purpose of this invention is to objectively evaluate the wettability characteristics of tight shale oil reservoirs in core samples, provide technical support for optimizing the amount of fluid injected into the ground and the well shut-in time, achieve the dual goals of artificial fracturing and energy replenishment in horizontal wells, reduce investment costs from the source, and increase single-well production.
[0212] This invention employs an indoor experimental evaluation method, utilizing the characteristic that dry rocks can spontaneously absorb fluids (water and oil) under capillary pressure. Depending on the rock's mineral composition, the amount of organic matter in the pores, the structure of the pore throats, and the influence of external conditions, the amount of oil and water spontaneously absorbed, as well as the rates of spontaneous oil and water absorption, vary. The mixed wetting index is then used to determine the average wettability of the shale oil reservoir.
[0213] Meanwhile, further assessment of the hydrophilic and oleophilic capabilities of shale oil reservoirs under different pore radii provides a theoretical basis for optimizing the reasonable amount of fluid injected into the ground and the well shut-in time in the development of shale oil horizontal wells. This achieves the goals of increasing single-well production, improving recovery rate, and reducing investment, thus promoting the large-scale and efficient development of shale oil.
[0214] The method provided by this invention is simple and easy to operate, offering a specific standard for evaluating the wettability of tight shale oil reservoirs. Compared to the Amott test and USBM test, it is not limited by the small pore throat and strong capillary force of shale oil reservoirs, making it simpler and easier to implement.
[0215] Furthermore, this method offers simple and rapid sample preparation, with the testing process involving only self-absorption without displacement, taking approximately 72 hours, which is short in duration. It utilizes rate to characterize wettability, resulting in more accurate measurements. Simultaneously, this method is suitable for shale oil reservoirs with mixed wettability and small pore throats, and can quantitatively characterize the changes in wettability of different pore sizes during self-absorption under formation conditions, thereby guiding the optimization of fluid injection volume and well shut-in time.
[0216] Furthermore, this method requires simple testing equipment, has a clear testing principle, and takes less time. Shale oil reservoirs have well-developed micro- and nano-pores and strong heterogeneity.
[0217] Accordingly, this embodiment of the invention also provides a shale oil reservoir wettability determination device, which is used to execute the shale oil reservoir wettability determination method.
[0218] Accordingly, this invention also provides an adjustment device for the amount of fluid injected into the ground and the well shut-in time in shale oil development. The adjustment device for the amount of fluid injected into the ground and the well shut-in time in shale oil development is used to execute the optimization method for the amount of fluid injected into the ground and the well shut-in time in shale oil development.
