TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of salt cavern sediment gap oil storage, and particularly relates to a high-impurity salt mine sediment gap oil storage injection and production operation parameter optimization device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Underground salt caverns are excellent places for underground energy reserves. Underground salt cavern oil storage has been widely used in the United States, France, Germany and other countries. At present, underground salt cavern oil storage has not been applied in the field in China.
[0003] Domestic salt rock strata differ greatly from foreign salt rock strata. The characteristics of more interbeds, thicker interbeds, more insoluble impurities in salt layers, and thinner salt layers result in a large number of insoluble sediment particles during the salt cavern cavity forming process. The sediment particles occupy a large amount of salt cavern space, which seriously affects the ability of the salt cavern to store oil. However, these insoluble sediment particles contain a large number of voids, which can account for more than 40% of the sediment accumulation body. Therefore, using sediment gap oil storage is an excellent method for improving underground salt cavern oil reserves with high impurities. Monitoring the parameters (oil injection rate, oil production rate, brine injection rate, brine discharge rate, oil loss rate, oil recovery rate, and sediment gap rate) during the operation of the sediment gap oil storage has important value for the application of salt cavern sediment gap oil storage. There is an urgent need for a sediment oil storage experimental device that can dynamically monitor the entire process. At present, there are few experimental devices for adjusting and controlling the injection and production parameters of the sediment gap oil storage.

[0060] Example 2
[0061] Please refer to Figure 2The application provides a high-impurity salt mine sediment void oil storage injection and production operation experiment method, and the method comprises the following steps:
[0062] The salt mine sediment void oil storage injection and production operation parameter optimization device according to the first aspect is connected, and the sealing of the experimental device is checked;
[0063] In the case that the sealing of the device is good, the sediment particles 12 are respectively put into the first and second acrylic salt cavities 2 and 4, the oil to be tested is respectively added into the first and second oil storage devices 301 and 501, and the brine is added into the brine storage device 606, so as to complete the preparation work before the experiment.

[0067] The oil storage test of the sediment void is carried out, when the first and second acrylic salt cavities 2 and 4 and the sediment particles 12 are filled with the oil to be tested, the temperature controller 904 and the heating hole 903 are started, so that the first and second acrylic salt cavities 2 and 4 reach the preset geothermal environment.
[0068] The brine storage device 606 is respectively communicated with the first and second oil storage devices 301 and 501, to carry out the sediment void brine injection and oil production experiment, the oil production rate and the brine injection rate are recorded, and the whole process of the brine injection and oil production is recorded by a high-speed camera.
[0069] The oil collected in the first oil storage device 301 is filtered through the first filter, and the oil collected in the second oil storage device 501 is filtered through the second filter, to calculate the sediment content and analyze the quality of the collected oil.
[0070] The recorded detection data are analyzed, to optimize the sediment void oil storage injection and production operation parameters.
[0071] The method further comprises: replacing the different particle gradations of the sediment particles, different concentrations of the brine, and different kinds of oil products to perform an oil injection and brine displacement experiment or a brine injection and oil production experiment; and after the experiment, performing CT and nuclear magnetic scanning on the sediment particles to analyze the degradation capacity of the sediment particles.
[0072] Specifically, the application provides a high-impurity salt mine sediment void oil storage injection and production operation experiment method. Taking the double-salt cavity salt cave sediment void oil injection and injection and brine discharge experiment as an example, first, the experimental device in Example 1 is installed and connected, the brine pressure control device is opened, the first acrylic salt cavity 2 and the second acrylic salt cavity 4 are filled with brine, and whether there is water leakage at the pipeline connection of the experimental device is observed. If there is leakage, it should be repaired in time to ensure the sealing of the experimental device. Secondly, under the condition that the sealing of the experimental device is good, the first pressure control screw 1002 and the second pressure control screw 1002 are opened, and the sediment particles 12 are put into the first acrylic salt cavity 2 and the second acrylic salt cavity 4. The volume ratio of the sediment particles 12 is estimated by the comprehensive solubility of the simulated cavity salt layer. After the sediment particles 12 are placed, the first pressure control screw 1002 and the second pressure control screw 1004 are tightened, and the oil to be tested is added to the first oil storage device 301 and the second oil storage device 501 respectively, and the brine is added to the brine storage device 606 to complete the preparation work before the experiment. Then, the porosity of the sediment particles 12 is tested, that is, the volume of the sediment particles 12 that can discharge brine, the first oil injection valve 303 and the second oil injection valve 503 are closed, the first air compression valve 703, the first oil product control valve 202, the second air compression valve 803, the second oil product control valve 402, the injection and production brine valve 612, the injection and discharge brine valve 610, the first stop valve 604 and the second stop valve 605 are opened to form two passages of brine storage device 606→intermediate injection and discharge brine pipe 601→first water pipe 602→first acrylic salt cavity 2→first main pipe 201→first air pipe 702→first air compressor 701 and brine storage device 606→intermediate injection and discharge brine pipe 601→second water pipe 603→second acrylic salt cavity 4→second main pipe 401→second air pipe 802→second air compressor, and the brine pressure controller 608 and the brine weighing device 607 are started to transport brine to the first acrylic salt cavity 2 and the second acrylic salt cavity 4 respectively. After the brine fills the first water pipe 602 and the first water pipe 602 respectively, the sediment particles 12 at the bottom of the first acrylic salt cavity 2 and the second acrylic salt cavity 4 are recorded, and the mass of the brine at this time is m0. Since the void part of the sediment particles 12 will absorb part of the brine, the brine interface will not immediately level with the sediment particles 12 interface, so the brine is input until the brine interface in the first acrylic salt cavity 2 and the second acrylic salt cavity 4 is balanced with the sediment particles 12 interface, and the mass of the brine at this time is m1 and the height of the brine interface is h. At this time, the height of the brine interface is the height h of the sediment particles 12. The comprehensive solubility of the cavity salt layer is estimated. Assuming that the comprehensive solubility of the cavity salt layer is c, the volume of the acrylic salt cavity is V1, and the swelling coefficient of the sediment particles is k, then the volume V2 of the sediment particles 12 is V1×(1-c)×k, and the height h of the sediment particles 12 is V2 / πr 2wherein r is the radius of the subalumyte cavity; then, the first air compressor 701 and the second air compressor are started to inject gas into the first subalumyte cavity 2 and the second subalumyte cavity 4 respectively to displace the brine in the interstice of the sediment particles 12, as the gas is injected, until the brine reaches the bottom of the sediment particles 12, the mass of the brine at this time is recorded as m, then the volume of the brine-displaceable sediment particles 12 V3 = m2 / ρ, and the porosity of the sediment particles 12 w = m2 / ρ x πr 2 h wherein p is the density of the brine; finally, the first air compressor 701 and the second air compressor are closed, and the brine continues to be delivered to the first subalumyte cavity 2 and the second subalumyte cavity 4 until the salt cavities are filled, i.e. the initial state of the salt cavities is simulated, the temperature controller 904 and the heating hole 903 are started to simulate the geothermal environment at different depths, the temperature in the salt cavities is adjusted by the temperature controller, and the temperature inside the salt cavities is detected in real time by the temperature sensor arranged inside the salt cavities, so as to ensure that the temperature set by the temperature controller 904 can be truly applied to the brine or oil product in the salt cavities, thereby improving the accuracy of the experiment;
[0073] Further, on the basis of the above, carry out the oil injection and brine discharge experiment of the sediment void, close the first air compression valve 703, the second air compression valve 803, the temperature controller 904 and the heating hole 903, open the first oil injection valve 303 and the second oil injection valve 503, to form two passages of the first oil reservoir 301→the first oil pipe 302→the first main pipe 201→the first acrylic salt cavity 2→the first water pipe 602→the intermediate injection and discharge pipe 601→the brine reservoir 606 and the second oil reservoir 501→the second oil pipe 502→the second main pipe 401→the second acrylic salt cavity 4→the second water pipe 603→the intermediate injection and discharge pipe 601→the brine reservoir 606, start the first injection and production rate collector 307, the first oil product weigher 306, the first oil product injection pressure regulator 305, the second injection and production rate collector 507, the second oil product weigher 506, the second oil product injection pressure regulator 505 and the brine injection and discharge rate collector 609, so that the oil to be tested enters the first acrylic salt cavity 2 and the second acrylic salt cavity 4 respectively, and the injection rate and the brine discharge rate are recorded to draw the rate change curve; record the whole process picture of the oil injection and brine discharge by the high-speed camera, and set the monitoring rate of the high-speed camera to be consistent with the collection rate of the first injection and production rate collector, the second injection and production rate collector and the brine injection and discharge rate collector, when the oil-brine interface drops to the bottom of the first acrylic salt cavity 2 and the second acrylic salt cavity 4, close the injection and discharge valve 610, continue to inject the oil to be tested into the first acrylic salt cavity 2 and the second acrylic salt cavity 4, so that the sediment void in the salt cavity is filled with the oil to be tested, when the first acrylic salt cavity 2 and the second acrylic salt cavity 4 reach the preset formation pressure, stop the first oil product injection pressure regulating device and the second oil product injection pressure regulating device, close the first oil product regulating valve 202, the second oil product regulating valve 402 and the injection and production brine valve to stop the oil injection and brine discharge experiment, wherein different oils to be tested can be used, such as diesel oil, gasoline, kerosene and mineral oil, and different injection pressures can be set; after the oil injection and brine discharge experiment is completed, the oil storage test of the sediment void can be carried out, after the salt cavity and the sediment particles 12 are filled with the oil to be tested, start the temperature controller 904 and the heating hole 903 to heat the salt cavity, so that it reaches the set geothermal environment, and set the storage time to simulate the long-term oil storage process of the sediment void in the high temperature and high pressure environment, and analyze the feasibility of the oil storage of the sediment void;
[0074] Further, on the basis of the above, carry out the brine injection and oil displacement experiment in the sediment void, close the first air compression valve 703 and the second air compression valve 803, open the injection and displacement brine valve 610, to form the brine reservoir 606→the intermediate injection and displacement brine pipe 601→the first water pipe 602→the first acrylic salt chamber 2→the first main pipe 201→the first oil pipe 302→the first oil reservoir 301 and the brine reservoir 606→the intermediate injection and displacement brine pipe 601→the second water pipe 603→the second acrylic salt chamber 4→the second main pipe 401→the second oil pipe 502 pipe→the second oil reservoir 501 two passages, because the density of the oil to be tested is less than the density of the brine, when the brine reservoir 606 and the brine pressure regulator 608 are started, the oil to be tested in the salt chamber and the sediment particle 12 void will be displaced by the brine, the oil to be tested enters the first oil reservoir 301 and the second oil reservoir 501 respectively and is collected and utilized, and the oil-brine displacement process is recorded by a high-speed camera. In addition, through the above experimental device, multiple rounds of injection and production cycles of the oil to be tested can be carried out, the porosity and permeability of the sediment particle 12 sample are measured, and the degradation performance of the sediment particle 12 sample is analyzed, thereby providing a theoretical basis for underground salt cavern sediment void oil storage.
[0075] In addition, when the oil to be tested in the sediment void is displaced, an air oil displacement method can also be used, which specifically includes: closing the second air compression valve 803 and the injection and displacement brine valve 610, opening the first air compression valve 703, starting the first air compressor 701, to form the first air compressor 701→the first air pipe 702→the first main pipe 201→the first acrylic salt chamber 2→the first water pipe 602→the second water pipe 603→the second acrylic salt chamber 4→the second main pipe 401→the second oil pipe 502→the second oil reservoir 501 passage, so that the first air compressor 701 injects air into the first acrylic salt chamber 2, first completes the oil displacement work in the first acrylic salt chamber 2 and its sediment void, continues to inject air, so that the oil in the second acrylic salt chamber 4 and its sediment void is displaced to the second oil reservoir 501 for collection and utilization;
[0076] Alternatively, close the first air compression valve 703 and the injection and displacement brine valve 610, open the second air compression valve 803, start the second air compressor 801, to form the second air compressor 801→the second air pipe 802→the second main pipe 401→the second acrylic salt chamber 4→the second water pipe 603→the first water pipe 602→the first acrylic salt chamber 2→the first main pipe 201→the first oil pipe 302→the first oil reservoir 301 passage, so that the second air compressor 801 injects air into the second acrylic salt chamber 4, first completes the oil displacement work in the second acrylic salt chamber 4 and its sediment void, continues to inject air, so that the oil in the first acrylic salt chamber 2 and its sediment void is displaced to the first oil reservoir 301 for collection and utilization, thereby verifying the feasibility of air oil displacement.
[0077] Further, the oil collected in the first oil reservoir is filtered through the first filter, and the oil collected in the second oil reservoir is filtered through the second filter, so as to calculate the content of the sediment in the oil and analyze the quality of the produced oil. If the content of the sediment in the oil is very high, it indicates that the flowability of the sediment particles is good, the crushing degree of the sediment particles is large, and there are many small particles, and the injection-production operation parameters need to be optimized to reduce the content of the sediment in the produced oil.
[0078] After the injection of oil and the displacement of brine and the injection of brine and the production of oil are completed, the experimental results are analyzed, as shown in the following table. Figures 3-4 The change of the injection rate and the production rate of brine is analyzed, the change trend of the injection rate and the production rate of oil is analyzed, and the oil recovery of the sediment oil is analyzed. The specific formula is that the mass of the injected oil on both sides is m3, the mass of the produced oil is m4, and the oil recovery is A = (m4-m3) / m3. The change relationship of the oil production rate under different temperatures and different particle size distributions is established, which provides a basis for the selection of the cavity depth and the interlayer thickness in the actual salt mine sediment oil storage project.
[0079] Figure 3 The injection rate of oil is the injection rate of oil in the process of injection of oil and displacement of brine. The overall displacement rate of brine does not fluctuate obviously up and down, the minimum displacement rate of brine is 1 g / s, and the maximum displacement rate of brine is 6 g / s. Figure 4 The injection rate of oil is the injection rate of oil in the process of injection of oil and displacement of brine. The overall displacement rate of brine does not fluctuate obviously up and down, the minimum displacement rate of brine is 1 g / s, and the maximum displacement rate of brine is 6 g / s.
[0080] In addition, the device provided in the present application can also be used for injection of oil and displacement of brine and injection of brine and production of oil. The oil storage capacity of the sediment particles before and after the experiment can be compared, the sediment particles before and after the experiment are scanned by CT and nuclear magnetic resonance, the degradation capacity of the sediment particles is further analyzed, and the crushing degree of the sediment at the bottom of the salt cavity is analyzed. The pressure difference between the two ends is calculated through the pressure gauges at the top of the salt cavity on both sides and the brine pressure gauges on the middle brine displacement pipe. If the pressure difference is large, the sediment particles at the bottom of the salt cavity are blocked, the degradation capacity of the sediment particles is too strong, and the injection-production operation parameters need to be optimized to improve the connectivity of the sediment particles and the maximum sediment void oil production.
[0081] By CT and nuclear magnetic scanning of the sediment particles, and in combination with the pressure difference of two ends and the quality control of the produced oil product, the injection-production operation parameters can be continuously adjusted until the best produced oil product is obtained, and then the relationship between the best oil-brine injection-production cycle parameters (ensuring that the sediment void is not blocked) and the best oil product quality (the smallest carried sediment particles) is determined, thereby providing a reference basis for actual engineering applications.
[0082] In the above experiment of oil injection and brine drainage in the sediment void of the double-salt-cavity salt cavern, the first stop valve 604 or the second stop valve 605 is closed, so that the oil injection and brine drainage, oil storage and oil production by brine injection in the sediment void of the single-salt-cavity salt cavern can be realized.
[0083] In summary, the high-impurity salt mine sediment void oil storage injection-production operation experiment method provided by the present application can simulate the whole process of oil storage injection-production in the sediment void of a single-salt-cavity or double-salt-cavity (U-shaped cavity) salt mine, can realize the whole process control of oil injection and brine drainage and oil production by brine injection under different particle gradation of sediment particles, different oil / brine injection rates and pressures, and different ground temperature conditions, can obtain the oil production rate and brine drainage rate under different injection-production conditions and the recovery rate of the sediment void oil storage, can obtain the micro-flowing conditions of oil-brine / gas displacement in the sediment void, and can determine the oil storage volume and oil storage capacity of the salt mine sediment void and establish suitable sediment oil storage injection-production operation adjustment parameters. The present application can simulate the high temperature and high pressure and injection-production working conditions in the real underground salt cavity, realize the whole process control of the sediment void oil storage, and explore the feasibility of oil production by gas injection.
