[0002] In the prior art, two methods are generally used for displacement simulation research. The first method is to use a transparent rock model to visualize the displacement simulation process (such as the Chinese invention patent with application number CN201911329890.X). Although the first method can visualize the displacement process, the pore throat structure in the rock model is different from the pore throat structure of the real core. Therefore, the accuracy of the experimental results of the displacement simulation experiment using the rock model is questionable;

[0003] The second method is to use real rock samples to simulate the displacement process (such as the Chinese invention patent with application number CN201810097791.2). The second method can only obtain the oil displacement volume of water drive and displacing agent, but cannot monitor the distribution of water and crude oil in the rock sample during the water drive and displacing agent process, which is not conducive to studying the mechanism of water drive and displacing agent process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] The technical solution provided by the present invention is to evenly open a plurality of observation holes 111 on a rock sample 11, and embed a transparent rock model insert 12 in the observation hole 111, so that when a displacement simulation experiment is conducted, when a fluid flows in the pores in the rock sample 11, when it encounters a rock model insert 12 on its moving path, it can directly pass through the pores in the rock model insert 12. Since the total volume of all rock model inserts 12 is relatively small relative to the volume of the rock sample 11, embedding the rock model insert 12 in the rock sample 11 will not significantly change the pore throat structure in the rock sample 11, and thus will not significantly affect the test results, thereby improving the accuracy of the displacement test results compared to the displacement simulation experiment using a rock model; at the same time, by observing the fluid type in the pores of each rock model insert 12, the fluid type at the position of each observation hole 111 can be judged, thereby facilitating the drawing of a distribution map of various fluids on the rock sample 11 during the test, providing data support for studying the mechanism of water flooding and displacement agent displacement process.

One end of the rock sample 11 is used to be clamped into the first clamping groove 221, and the other end of the rock sample 11 is used to be clamped into the second clamping groove 231. When in use, firstly, one end of the rock sample 11 is clamped into the first clamping groove 221, and then the movable clamping plate 23 is driven to move toward the fixed clamping plate 22 by the position adjusting member 24 until the second clamping groove 231 on the movable clamping plate 23 is completely clamped into the other end of the rock sample 11.

[0040] In order to realize the function of the position adjusting member 24, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3In a preferred embodiment, the position adjustment member 24 includes a fixed block 241, a guide shaft 242 and a first screw 243. The fixed block 241 is fixed on the mounting plate 21. A screw hole and a guide hole are provided on the fixed block 241. The guide shaft 242 is slidably inserted in the guide hole.

During use, when the movable splint 23 needs to be moved, the first screw 243 is rotated so that the first screw 243 moves toward the direction of the fixed splint 22, thereby driving the movable splint 23 to move toward the direction of the fixed splint 22. The function of the guide shaft 242 is to prevent the movable splint 23 from rotating.

It is threadedly connected to one end of the second screw rod 533, and the other end of the second screw rod 533 is hinged to the bottom plate 51. During use, when the inclination of the rock sample 11 needs to be adjusted, the long nut 532 is rotated, and the total length of the long nut 532 and the second screw rod 533 changes, so that the total length of the telescopic adjustment member 53 changes, so that the inclination of the mounting plate 21 changes, thereby changing the inclination of the rock sample 11, so that the inclination of the rock sample 11 is consistent with the inclination of the actual research reservoir, so as to be more in line with the displacement process of the actual reservoir. At the same time, by changing the inclination of the rock sample 11, the influence of the inclination of the rock sample 11 on the displacement process can be studied.

[0042] In order to quickly obtain the fluid type in each rock model block 12, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3In a preferred embodiment, the experimental device for displacement simulation using a real core further includes a detection mechanism 6, the detection mechanism 6 includes a shelf 61, a plurality of light sources 62, a frame 63, a camera 64 and a processor, the shelf 61 is fixed on the fixed clamping plate 22 and is located below the rock sample 11, each of the light sources 62 is fixed on the shelf 61, the lower end of the frame 63 is fixedly connected to the fixed clamping plate 22, the upper end of the frame 63 is connected to the camera 64, the camera 64 is arranged above the rock sample 11 and is arranged toward the rock sample 11, the camera 64 The processor is electrically connected to the processor. When in use, if the type of fluid in each rock model block 12 is observed manually one by one, the efficiency will be low. Therefore, in this embodiment, white light is emitted upward by the light source 62, and the white light is sensed by the camera 64 after passing through each rock model block 12. When the white light passes through each rock model block 12, if the rock model block 12 contains crude oil, the emitted light is red, and if the rock model block 12 contains water, the emitted light is blue. Therefore, the color of each rock model block 12 can be judged according to the photos taken by the camera 64, and the type of fluid in each rock model block 12 can be judged accordingly.

When the pressure in the liquid outlet pipe 41 is less than the back pressure, the back pressure valve 45 is in a closed state. When the pressure in the liquid outlet pipe 41 is greater than the back pressure, the back pressure valve 45 is opened, so that a certain pressure can be maintained in the rock sample 11 to better simulate the actual formation conditions.

[0046] The present invention also provides an experimental method for displacement simulation using a real core, which is applicable to the experimental device for displacement simulation using a real core, and comprises the following steps:

[0047] (1) Preparation of rock samples: First, a rectangular rock sample 11 is prepared. A plurality of observation holes 111 and openings 112 are opened on the rock sample 11. In this embodiment, the number of openings 112 is two. At the same time, a plurality of rock model blocks 12 that match the observation holes 111 are prepared. The rock model blocks 12 are made of transparent material and have pores connected to the outside world (so that they are similar to actual rocks). Each rock model block 12 is respectively embedded in each of the observation holes 111. At the same time, an injection and production pipe 13 is embedded in each of the openings 112. Then, waterproof glue is applied to the surface of the rock sample 11, and the rock sample is sealed by a transparent cover plate 14.

[0048] (2) Pipeline connection: connect the injection pipe 31 to one or more injection and production pipes 13 on the rock sample, connect the liquid outlet pipe 41 to one or more other injection and production pipes 13, and plug the remaining injection and production pipes 13 with plugs;

[0049] (3) Oil saturation process: The first plunger pump 35 drives the crude oil in the first intermediate container 32 into the rock sample 11 through the injection pipe 31. When the crude oil is discharged from the outlet pipe 41, the oil injection is stopped. At this time, the rock sample 11 is saturated with oil. It is observed whether each rock model block 12 contains crude oil, and a first crude oil distribution map when the crude oil is saturated is drawn.

[0050] (4) Water flooding process: The water in the second intermediate container 33 is driven by the second plunger pump 36 to enter the rock sample 11 through the injection pipe 31. When the liquid discharged from the liquid outlet pipe 41 does not contain crude oil, the water flooding is stopped. At this time, some crude oil will still remain in the rock sample 11. It is observed whether each rock model block 12 contains crude oil and water, and the second crude oil distribution map and the first water distribution map after water flooding are drawn.

[0051] (5) Displacing agent flooding process: The displacing agent in the third intermediate container 34 is driven by the third plunger pump 37 to enter the rock sample 11 through the injection pipe 31, and the volume of crude oil in the liquid discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 41 is measured. At the same time, whether each rock model block 12 contains crude oil and water is observed, and a third crude oil distribution map and a second water distribution map after the displacing agent flooding are drawn;

[0052] (6) Prepare another rock sample 11, change the type of displacing agent, and repeat steps (1) to (5) to evaluate the oil displacement effects of different oil displacement agents.

[0053] In summary, the beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by the present invention are as follows:

[0054] (1) By evenly opening a plurality of observation holes 111 on the rock sample 11 and embedding transparent rock model inserts 12 in the observation holes 111, when the fluid flows in the pores of the rock sample 11 during the displacement simulation experiment, when it encounters the rock model inserts 12 on its moving path, it can directly pass through the pores in the rock model inserts 12. Since the total volume of all the rock model inserts 12 is relatively small relative to the volume of the rock sample 11, embedding the rock model inserts 12 in the rock sample 11 will not significantly change the pore throat structure in the rock sample 11, and thus will not significantly affect the test results. Compared with the displacement simulation experiment using the rock model, the accuracy of the displacement test results is improved. At the same time, by observing the fluid type in the pores of each rock model insert 12, the fluid type at the position of each observation hole 111 can be judged, so as to facilitate the drawing of the distribution map of various fluids on the rock sample 11 during the test, providing data support for studying the mechanism of water flooding and displacement agent displacement process.

[0055] (2) By using the real rock sample 11 as the main body of the sample assembly 1 and embedding the transparent rock model insert 12 into the real rock sample 11, the experimental results can be more accurate and the displacement process of crude oil and water in the rock sample can be observed through the transparent rock model insert 12.

[0056] (3) The inclination angle of the rock sample 11 can be changed by the inclination adjustment mechanism 5, thereby facilitating the study of the influence of the inclination angle of the rock sample 11 on the displacement process.

[0057] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments.
