Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of in-situ carbon storage and hydrogen production in oil and gas reservoirs, and specifically relates to a method for in-situ carbon storage and hydrogen production assisted by hot CO2 and electromagnetic heating. BACKGROUND
[0002] Greenhouse gas emissions have led to increasingly serious global climate change issues. "Carbon peak and carbon neutrality" can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow the speed of global warming. At the same time, hydrogen (H2) is considered to be the most promising clean energy in the 21st century. About 95% of hydrogen is produced by steam methane reforming (SMR) using natural gas and water as raw materials. The disadvantage of this technology is high carbon dioxide emissions, about 9-10 kg CO2e / kg H2, which increases the burden of CCUS to reduce the negative impact of greenhouse gas footprint. Integrating SMR and CCUS is a relatively mature technology, and it is a great challenge to significantly reduce its cost.
[0003] Converting oil and natural gas into clean hydrogen through underground thermal cracking and other methods is a technical solution that is expected to achieve decarbonization of the oil industry by 2050. In-situ hydrogen production in reservoirs can directly generate and extract hydrogen from oil and gas reservoirs, while using an underground hydrogen membrane separator to lock all carbon products underground. Based on the existing infrastructure of oil and gas fields, there is no need to extract, separate and transport hydrocarbons, which can significantly reduce the cost of hydrogen production. However, most current in-situ hydrogen production technologies in reservoirs inject air into coal reservoirs, heavy oil reservoirs or abandoned oil reservoirs to ignite, i.e., using the in-situ combustion gasification (ISCG) method to produce hydrogen. Although technical and economic assessment (TEA) shows that the cost of the ISCG method can be significantly reduced under different experimental assumptions. However, even underground, the process of using the in-situ combustion gasification (ISCG) method to produce hydrogen inevitably produces a large amount of CO2 due to the injection of air.
[0004] Chinese patent 202311482466.5 discloses a method suitable for in-situ hydrogen production in oil reservoirs, which discloses an in-situ hydrogen production method of setting three horizontal wells and one temperature detection well in the same reservoir, wherein the middle horizontal well is provided with a heating device, the surrounding of the well is subjected to close cutting volume fracturing and filled with catalyst and heat-conducting agent to form a reaction zone; the lower horizontal well is subjected to in-situ ignition and injection of oxygen-containing gas to make it incomplete combustion to produce CO and CO2 and form a gasification zone; the heating device is used to heat to above 450℃, and when the gas in the gasification zone enters the reaction zone, water vapor is injected for efficient hydrogen production; however, this method has the following disadvantages: (1) this technology needs to drill four horizontal wells, and the economic benefit is poor; (2) its essence is still oxygen injection combustion to heat the reservoir, which cannot avoid the generation of CO2 gas, although it can avoid its exploitation to the ground through a hydrogen filtration membrane, but it cannot realize the utilization of CO2; (3) the reservoir ignition combustion has high requirements for organic matter, and it is not universal for oil reservoirs.
[0005] Chinese patent 202210955852.0 discloses a method for in-situ hydrogen production in the near-wellbore zone by using downhole electric heating, which heats the near-wellbore zone reservoir by setting electric heating devices and temperature monitoring devices downhole, and the natural gas in the reservoir mixes with the in-situ generated water vapor in the near-wellbore zone of the production well under high temperature conditions, and the hydrogen production reaction occurs under the action of the nanometer catalyst on the rock surface, producing hydrogen and other component outputs mainly composed of carbon dioxide, and finally separating the hydrogen and other components and injecting the other components into the formation through the adjacent injection well, but this method has the following disadvantages: (1) the method is still essentially organic matter and water vapor heating decomposition, which cannot avoid the generation of CO2 gas, and this technology cannot realize the in-situ storage of CO2 and other associated gases through a filtration membrane, even if it is injected back, it increases the cost, and it cannot realize the utilization of CO2.
[0006] (2) The technical method completely heats the reservoir by underground electric heating, which has high cost.
[0007] In view of the above problems, a hot CO2 assisted electromagnetic heating in-situ carbon storage and hydrogen production method is proposed. SUMMARY

In view of the above problems, a hot CO2 assisted electromagnetic heating in-situ carbon storage and hydrogen production method is provided, which discards the conventional organic matter + steam thermal cracking hydrogen production technology, and adopts electromagnetic heating technology to avoid the generation of by-products such as CO2, and at the same time, on the basis of conventional electric / electromagnetic heating, a reservoir preheating step of high-temperature CO2 injection is added, which not only saves the cost of electromagnetic heating, but also can store CO2 underground, and finally realizes the dual purpose of CO2 geological storage and in-situ hydrogen production in the reservoir.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used in the description herein is for describing specific embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the description and the claims herein and the above description of drawings utilize terms such as "including" and "having" and variations thereof that are intended to be broad enough to encompass the presence of zero or more of the specified elements or steps without limitation; the terms "first", "second", and the like used in the description and the claims herein are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order.
[0026] The existing method cannot avoid the generation of CO2 gas, and cannot realize the in-situ storage of CO2 and associated gases such as CO2 through a filter membrane; in view of the above problems, we propose a hot CO2 assisted electromagnetic heating in-situ carbon storage and hydrogen production collaborative method, which discards the conventional organic matter + water vapor thermal cracking hydrogen production technology, and uses electromagnetic heating technology to avoid the generation of by-products such as CO2, and at the same time increases the high-temperature CO2 injection reservoir preheating step on the basis of conventional electric / electromagnetic heating, which not only saves the cost of electromagnetic heating, but also can store CO2 underground, and finally realizes the dual purpose of CO2 geological storage and in-situ hydrogen production. The present application breaks through the conventional oxygen injection combustion heating method, avoids the generation of CO2 gas in the hydrogen production process, and simplifies the multiple injection process of oxygen-containing gas, water vapor and the like; the present application uses the method of injecting high-temperature CO2 to preheat the reservoir to reduce the cost of electromagnetic heating, and at the same time realizes the utilization and geological storage of CO2, thereby ensuring the collaborative effect of CO2 geological storage and in-situ hydrogen production.
[0027] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application are applicable to any conventional, unconventional oil and gas and coal reservoirs such as conventional sandstone reservoirs, oil shale reservoirs, heavy oil reservoirs, etc. Some reservoirs with poor pore connectivity need to be pre-fractured.
[0028] The embodiments of the present application provide a hot CO2 assisted electromagnetic heating in-situ carbon storage and hydrogen production collaborative method, Figure 1A schematic diagram of the steps of the in-situ carbon storage and hydrogen production method assisted by hot CO2 and electromagnetic heating is shown, and the in-situ carbon storage and hydrogen production method assisted by hot CO2 and electromagnetic heating specifically comprises: S10, selecting a reservoir: selecting a target reservoir 2, which contains at least two horizontal wells; in this embodiment, the reservoir type of the target reservoir 2 can be any type of reservoir, thereby expanding the applicability of the embodiment of the present application, and the target reservoir 2 type includes but is not limited to oil shale, tight reservoir, heavy oil reservoir, conventional sandstone reservoir, carbonate rock reservoir; such as oil shale (which has a natural mineral catalyst and is more prone to thermal cracking), tight reservoir, heavy oil reservoir (sufficient high-carbon organic matter), conventional sandstone reservoir (large gas storage space), carbonate rock reservoir (injected high-temperature CO2 will inhibit the high-temperature decomposition of carbonate rock, which will reduce the generation of CO2 on the one hand, but will also affect the increase of porosity). The effective thickness of the target reservoir 2 is greater than 5m, and the burial depth of the target reservoir 2 is less than 6000m.
[0029] S20, well arrangement: drilling and arranging hydrogen production equipment, drilling two horizontal wells in the target reservoir 2, the upper horizontal well as the electromagnetic heating hydrogen production well 5, and the lower horizontal well as the high-temperature CO2 injection well 1; in this embodiment, the electromagnetic heating hydrogen production well 5 is provided with a microwave emitting device 3 in the horizontal section, the microwave emitting device 3 is used for heating the reservoir to the organic matter hydrogen generation temperature, the heating radius of the microwave emitting device 3 is 1.2-4m, and the hydrogen production well 5 is provided with a hydrogen filter membrane 4, which is used for filtering other gas products to obtain pure hydrogen.
[0030] It should be noted that the arrangement of the microwave emitting device 3 in the oil and gas field development field belongs to a successfully applied technology, and the heating radius can reach 1.2-4m, which can meet the heating range requirement. The hydrogen filter membrane 4 is a prior art and has been involved in the existing oxygen injection combustion reservoir in-situ hydrogen production technology, which is a mature technology.
[0031] S30, fracturing and development: reservoir reconstruction and development based on the type of the target reservoir 2; in this embodiment, the method for reservoir reconstruction and development based on the type of the target reservoir 2 comprises: S301, identifying and judging the type of the target reservoir 2; S302, if the target reservoir 2 is a low-permeability tight reservoir or a shale reservoir, supercritical high-temperature CO2 is used for reservoir fracturing; S303, if the reservoir is an undeveloped reservoir or a reservoir with exploitation potential, oil and gas development (including but not limited to CO2 flooding, heavy oil thermal recovery and cold recovery, chemical flooding, etc.) is carried out after the horizontal well drilling of the target reservoir 2, and S302 is carried out after the end of the reservoir development (which can be identified as a depleted oil and gas reservoir).
[0032] It should be noted that, since the target reservoir 2 of the present application has universality, it is necessary to carry out reservoir reconstruction and development according to the actual situation of the reservoir before hydrogen production to ensure the best economic benefit. If the target reservoir 2 is a low-permeability tight reservoir or a shale reservoir, if the reservoir has not been fractured or the reservoir has poor pore connectivity, it is necessary to carry out reservoir fracturing. Considering the needs of carbon storage and preheating of the reservoir, supercritical high-temperature CO2 can be used for reservoir fracturing (the present application is not limited to this fracturing method, and all fracturing methods that can achieve reservoir fracture can be effectively applied, which are within the scope of patent protection).
[0033] S40, inject high-temperature CO2, heat the high-temperature CO2 on the ground and make it in a supercritical state, and inject the high-temperature CO2 into the target reservoir 2 through the high-temperature CO2 injection well 1 through the ground injection device; it should be noted that when the high-temperature CO2 is heated on the ground and made in a supercritical state, the heating temperature of CO2 is more than 280℃, the heating pressure is 20MPa, the heating temperature needs to be more than 280℃, the shale reservoir has a "thermal runaway" phenomenon, and the ability to continue heating it to the hydrogen generation temperature is significantly reduced after more than 280℃. There is no "thermal runaway" report for gas type reservoirs, but this can be used as the standard for CO2 heating temperature. The high-temperature CO2 is injected into the reservoir through the injection well 1 through the ground injection device and the well is closed. The injected high-temperature CO2 will enter the reservoir depletion area after oil and gas production and achieve the effect of preheating the reservoir, and the injected CO2 will be sealed in the reservoir.
[0034] S50, electromagnetic heating hydrogen production: turn on the microwave emission device 3 of the electromagnetic heating hydrogen production and hydrogen production well 5 to continue heating the reservoir to the hydrogen generation temperature and keep the current reservoir temperature and pressure conditions for hydrogen generation; in this embodiment, after S40, the electromagnetic heating hydrogen production and hydrogen production well 5 is opened, the microwave emission device 3 continues to heat the reservoir to the hydrogen generation temperature in the form of electromagnetic waves, and keeps the current reservoir temperature and pressure conditions for organic matter electromagnetic heating thermal cracking hydrogen reaction. Before the organic matter electromagnetic heating thermal cracking hydrogen reaction, a catalyst is injected into the reservoir in advance to increase the hydrogen reaction rate. The catalyst includes iron ions and SiC. The catalyst is a solid powder and can be added to the fracturing fluid and injected into the reservoir. If fracturing is not needed, it can be carried to the reservoir by the injection fluid in the development stage (the effect of this method will be poorer because the displacement and pressure of fracturing are large and the carrying effect is good). The injection amount is generally 5-10kg per square meter of water. The organic matter electromagnetic heating thermal cracking hydrogen reaction schematic diagram is as follows: Figure 2As shown, the reaction equation is as follows, and indoor experiments show that the concentration of hydrogen can account for more than 60%: organic matter → light oil (l) + C (s) + H2(g) + CO (g) Unlike in-situ hydrogen production by oxygen injection combustion reservoir, this reaction does not produce CO2, which on the one hand reduces the processing cost of hydrogen by-product, and on the other hand does not inhibit the normal occurrence of the reaction due to the injection of high-temperature CO2, and is more green and environmentally friendly.
[0035] When the microwave emitting device 3 continues to heat the reservoir to the hydrogen production temperature in the form of electromagnetic waves, the hydrogen production temperature can be 300-600℃ (the sandstone reservoir is generally about 500℃, and the shale reservoir is generally about 300℃).
[0036] It should be noted that the microwave emitting device 3 can be an electromagnetic wave generator, which is provided with an electromagnetic wave generator inside, and is transmitted to the simulation reaction chamber through an electromagnetic wave guide. The electromagnetic wave generator includes a magnetron and a solid generator. The solid generator is an upgraded version with higher power and frequency, but in the application background of electromagnetic wave heating in this patent, it does not need too high frequency, and the magnetron is more mature for microwave heating (such as microwave oven). The working frequency of the microwave generator is 3-5GHz, and the maximum power is not less than 3kW. Specifically, the magnetron has a cathode and a filament inside. The filament heats the cathode to make it emit electrons. These electrons accelerate to the anode under the action of the electric field. At the same time, the constant magnetic field generated by the magnet makes the trajectory of the electrons curve, forming a rotating motion. The rotating electron current excites the coupled cavity chain to generate a high-frequency alternating electromagnetic field in the microwave frequency band. The high-frequency alternating field further interacts with the electrons, slowing them down and converting their kinetic energy into microwave energy.
[0037] S60, start electromagnetic heating hydrogen production and hydrogen production well 5 production: shut down when the hydrogen production rapidly decreases; it should be noted that starting electromagnetic heating hydrogen production and hydrogen production well 5 production can make the hydrogen purity of the product higher due to the existence of hydrogen filter membrane 4, and avoid the injection of CO2 gas to the ground again. Shut down when the hydrogen production rapidly decreases, the temperature and hydrogen production of the whole process of steps S40-S60 are shown in the temperature and hydrogen production curve diagram as shown in the figure. Figure 3
[0038] S70, repeat steps S10-S60 until no industrial hydrogen flow is produced.
[0039] In this embodiment, Figure 3 The display hydrogen production rate will appear peak in the heating process and gradually decrease, because of the problem of thermal cracking chemical reaction limit, so it is necessary to heat cracking hydrogen production after opening well, that is, repeating the above steps S40-S60 until no industrial hydrogen flow is generated or according to economic benefits, the beneficial effect of repeating the above steps is that more CO2 can be stored. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, a flow chart of the in-situ carbon storage and hydrogen production method provided by the embodiment of the application is shown.
[0040] At the same time, it should be noted that the application can be linked with wind power and other new energy sources, and rely on wind power and other power sources to heat CO2, avoiding the storage and transportation of wind power, and being more economical and environmentally friendly.
