Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of multiphase flow simulation experimental devices for underground reservoirs, and in particular to a microscopic visualization underground reservoir two-phase flow displacement experimental system and method. Background Art

[0003] However, for underground hydrogen storage in porous reservoirs, which has attracted the most attention, its feasibility depends largely on the flow and transport behavior of hydrogen. During the injection and extraction cycle of the reservoir, it is controlled by complex pore-scale processes. According to the observation of researchers, when trying to simulate sandstone reservoirs for hydrogen storage, hydrogen mainly occupies large pores, while small pores, pore throats and corners are occupied by brine because hydrogen has very high water wettability. Pore-level observations have provided strong preliminary signs that saline aquifers in sandstone reservoirs are conducive to hydrogen storage, but what factors will affect it during the two-phase displacement of hydrogen and brine, and what factors will make hydrogen storage more efficient, there is still little research in my country. Therefore, how to design an experimental device that can microscopically visualize the two-phase flow displacement of underground reservoirs and intuitively observe the whole process of seepage of brine and hydrogen two-phase displacement under different conditions is of great significance for studying the quantitative relationship between hydrogen storage and pore network structure characteristic parameters and multiphase flow field parameters, and establishing hydrogen storage efficiency and prediction models under complex reservoir conditions.
