Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of oil and gas exploration technology, and specifically to a method, apparatus, equipment and storage medium for determining the surface wettability of a single mineral. Background Technology
[0002] Wettability is the tendency of one phase of a miscible fluid to spread or adhere to a solid surface. The commonly used contact angle method for determining wettability primarily characterizes wettability by analyzing the three-phase contact angles between a solid surface and between oil and water or air in a water or air environment. Its advantages include simple measurement technique and a testing range from strong water wetting to strong oil wetting. However, the measurement results are sometimes not unique. Different locations within the same rock sample exhibit different mineral compositions, resulting in varying wettability results. This demonstrates that the heterogeneity of minerals leads to variations in rock wettability, and the wettability of a single mineral is the determining factor in rock wettability. Furthermore, current wettability measurements are often conducted at room temperature, making it difficult to reflect the influence of temperature on mineral wettability.
[0003] Hydrocarbons are generated, migrated, and accumulated in environments saturated with formation water. Formation water and hydrocarbons are two important fluids in rock pores. The contact angle of underground hydrocarbon fluids on mineral surfaces is determined by the properties of the three phases of mineral, hydrocarbon, and formation water. One existing method for determining the surface wettability of reservoir rock minerals involves using atomic force microscopy to determine the wettability of the mineral-oil droplet-air three-phase system. This method has high accuracy but is difficult to determine the wettability of minerals when both oil and water phases are present on the surface, and it cannot create the temperature environment required by the formation. Another existing method for determining mineral surface wettability involves measuring the contact angle of oil droplets in water on the mineral surface to determine the wettability of a single mineral surface. This method can clearly identify the wettability of minerals when both oil and water phases are present on the surface, but it is limited to room temperature conditions and cannot determine the wettability of minerals under formation temperature conditions. Furthermore, the experimental operation is demanding and time-consuming. Summary of the Invention

[0053] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation
[0054] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0055] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0056] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0057] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0058] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this application provides a method for determining the surface wettability of a single mineral. This method can determine the wettability of a single mineral-oil-water three-phase system, can create a temperature environment under formation conditions, and the determination results are closer to the actual underground situation. It does not require experimental samples, has a wide range of applications, and can measure the wettability of any single mineral surface. The specific implementation method is described in detail below.
[0059] See Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a method for determining the surface wettability of a single mineral, provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, it mainly includes the following steps.
[0060] Step S101: Establish water molecule model, crude oil component model and porous mineral model respectively.
[0061] In practice, the method for establishing a crude oil composition model includes: performing group composition analysis on the oil produced from the rock reservoir to obtain information on the crude oil composition contained in the rock sample; selecting the component type with the highest content and its typical hydrocarbon molecules from the crude oil composition information to establish a crude oil composition model.
[0062] In specific implementation, establishing a porous mineral model includes: selecting a single mineral contained in the rock reservoir and establishing a porous mineral model, which can be a monolayer structure model or a multilayer structure model. In one possible implementation, the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of the pores in the mineral model are x, y, and z, where x and y are integer multiples of the length and width of the mineral unit cell, respectively, and x is twice y, and z ≥ y.
[0063] Step S102: Water molecules composed of water molecule models and crude oil components composed of crude oil component models are loaded into the pores of the mineral model, respectively, wherein the water molecules and crude oil components have the same volume.
[0064] Specifically, water molecule models and crude oil component models of equal volume are established. Along a direction parallel to the surface of the mineral model, the water molecule models and crude oil component models of equal volume are loaded into the pores of the mineral model, such that the surface of the mineral model is occupied by water molecules and crude oil components respectively, and the surface areas occupied by water molecules and crude oil components are equal. That is, approximately 50% of the surface area of the mineral model is occupied by water molecules, and the remaining approximately 50% of the surface area is occupied by crude oil components. It should be noted that the "same" and "equal" involved in the embodiments of this application are not strictly identical or absolutely equal. In other words, the "same" and "equal" involved in the embodiments of this application can be understood as "approximately the same" and "approximately equal".
[0065] Step S103: Optimize the mineral model loaded with water molecules and crude oil components to obtain the optimized system model.
[0066] Specifically, firstly, the mineral model loaded with water molecules and crude oil components is geometrically optimized. This step can be repeated multiple times (e.g., setting a maximum of 50,000 iterations) until the convergence curve indicates convergence. Secondly, the geometrically optimized mineral model is subjected to annealing simulation. In one possible implementation, the annealing period is set to 10, the initial temperature to 300K, and the maximum temperature to 1000K. Using the NVT ensemble, a lower-energy system model is obtained, i.e., the optimized system model.
[0067] Step S104: Perform molecular dynamics simulation on the optimized system model to obtain a mineral model containing water molecules and crude oil components in the pores.
[0068] Specifically, the force field type was set for the optimized system model, and the NVT system was used to apply simulated temperature conditions to conduct molecular dynamics simulations, thereby obtaining a mineral model containing water molecules and crude oil components in the pores.
[0069] Step S105: Based on the mineral model containing water molecules and crude oil components in the pores, determine the interaction energy between the mineral and water and the interaction energy between the mineral and crude oil components.
[0070] Specifically, according to the formula: ΔE m&w =(E m+o+w -E m&o -E w&o -E m -E w +E o +E m&w ) / 2 Calculate the interaction energy between the mineral and water; according to the formula: ΔE m&o =(E m+o+w -E m&w -E w&o -E m -E o +E w +E m&o ) / 2 calculate the interaction energy between the mineral and the crude oil components; where ΔE m&w ΔE m&o E represents the interaction energy between minerals and water, and the interaction energy between minerals and crude oil components, respectively, in kcal / mol; m+o+w E represents the total energy of the system, expressed in kcal / mol. m&w E m&o E w&o These represent the energy of minerals and water, minerals and oil, and water and oil, respectively, in kcal / mol; E m E w E o These represent the energy of minerals, water, and oil, respectively, with units of kcal / mol.
[0071] Step S106: Determine the oil-water wettability of the mineral surface based on the interaction energy between the mineral and water and the interaction energy between the mineral and crude oil components.
[0072] Specifically, after obtaining the interaction energy between minerals and water and the interaction energy between minerals and crude oil components, the ratio ΔE of the interaction energy between minerals and water and the interaction energy between minerals and crude oil components can be calculated. m&w / ΔE m&o According to ΔE m&w / ΔE m&o The size determines the oil and water wettability of the mineral surface.
[0073] In one possible implementation, ΔE m&w / ΔE m&o A larger ratio indicates that the mineral surface is more hydrophilic; ΔE m&w / ΔE m&oA smaller ratio indicates a more oleophilic mineral surface; ΔE m&w / ΔE m&o When the ratio is close to 1, it indicates that the mineral surface is neutrally wetted.
[0074] The technical solution provided in this application can determine the wettability of different single mineral surfaces, improving upon previous methods that involved placing minerals and oil droplets in air for wettability measurement. This method creates different temperature conditions, providing parameters for accurately identifying the oil-water wettability of reservoir rock mineral surfaces, and also enabling the determination of reservoir rock mineral wettability under geological conditions. Because this method can create a measurement environment close to geological conditions and can establish corresponding experimental models for crude oil components and mineral compositions, it is beneficial for characterizing the heterogeneity of reservoir wettability.
[0075] For ease of understanding, the following uses the illite-crude oil-water three-phase system as an example to illustrate the method for determining the surface wettability of a single mineral provided in the embodiments of this application, which mainly includes the following steps.
[0076] Step S201: Establish water molecule model, crude oil component model and porous mineral model respectively.
[0077] Specifically, illite was selected as the mineral, and C30 was selected as the crude oil component. 19 H 40 Using Materials Studio software, create illite and C# models respectively. 19 H 40 The model of water molecules was constructed, in which illite was constructed as a porous monolayer structure model with three-dimensional spatial dimensions of x = 5.22 nm, y = 2.67 nm, and z = 5.00 nm. The characteristic is that x and y are integer multiples of the length and width of the illite unit cell, respectively, and x is approximately twice y.
[0078] Step S202: Water molecules composed of water molecule models and crude oil components composed of crude oil component models are loaded into the pores of the mineral model, respectively, wherein the water molecules and crude oil components have the same volume.
[0079] Specifically, establish C with side length y respectively. 19 H 40 A cube model and a cube model of water molecules were used, and equal volumes of water and carbon were placed along a direction parallel to the mineral surface. 19 H 40 The molecules are loaded separately into the mineral pores, resulting in 50% of the illite's surface area being occupied by water molecules, and the remaining 50% being occupied by C. 19 H 40 occupy.
[0080] Step S203: Optimize the mineral model loaded with water molecules and crude oil components to obtain the optimized system model.
[0081] Specifically, for filling C 19 H 40 Geometric optimization was performed on the illite pore model of water molecules, with a maximum iteration count of 50,000. The convergence curve indicated convergence, and the optimization was terminated. Then, annealing simulation was performed on the geometrically optimized model, with an annealing period of 10, an initial temperature of 300K, and a maximum temperature of 1000K. The NVT ensemble was used to simulate a lower-energy system model.
[0082] Step S204: Perform molecular dynamics simulation on the optimized system model to obtain a mineral model containing water molecules and crude oil components in the pores.
[0083] Specifically, the force field type was set for the optimized system model, an NVT ensemble was used, the temperature was set to 27℃, and molecular dynamics simulations were performed for 1000 ps, yielding results containing C. 19 H 40 Illite pore model of water molecules.
[0084] Step S205: Based on the mineral model containing water molecules and crude oil components in the pores, determine the interaction energy between the mineral and water and the interaction energy between the mineral and crude oil components.
[0085] Specifically, to ensure the reliability of the simulation results, the C content in the illite pores during the latter half of the time period (within the range of 500-1000 ps) obtained from the molecular dynamics simulation was selected. 19 H 40 The distribution model of water molecules, respectively, uses the formula: ΔE m&w =(E m+o+w -E m&o -E w&o -E m -E w +E o +E m&w ) / 2 and the formula: ΔE m&o =(E m+o+w -E m&w -E w&o -E m -E o +E w +E m&o ) / 2 Calculate illite with water, illite with C 19 H 40 The interaction energy.
[0086] Step S206: Determine the oil-water wettability of the mineral surface based on the interaction energy between the mineral and water and the interaction energy between the mineral and crude oil components.
[0087] Specifically, in obtaining illite and water, illite and C 19 H 40 After determining the interaction energy, the ratio ΔE between the interaction energy between the mineral and water and the interaction energy between the mineral and crude oil components is calculated. m&w / ΔE m&o As shown in Table 1.
[0088] Table 1:
[0089]
[0090] According to the results in Table 1, at a temperature of 27℃, the average interaction energy between illite and water is -5451.78 kcal / mol. 19 H 40 The average interaction energy is -37.65 kcal / mol. The interaction energy between illite and water and between illite and C were calculated. 19 H 40 The ratio of interaction energies ΔE m&w / ΔE m&o The average value is 145.60, indicating hydrophilicity.
[0091] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the wettability of different single minerals can be determined by changing the temperature, pore size, mineral type, and crude oil composition.
